Manchester's temperature shot up to about 25 degree C today!!
It was boiling in the clinic.. No air-condition.
Heat + stuffiness + dehydration gave us headaches..
Our gloves were wet & sticky..
It's hard to get a gasp of fresh air through a mask (there's no fresh air in the clinic to start with).. Half of our face was steamy and sweaty..
There were at least 6 tutors in the clinic with just 2 working hard helping the students out, while the others standing around, chit-chatting and even dancing in the clinic!
I was so nearly to shout for Prof Dev(one of the most 'powerful' fellow in dental school) from far and ask him to switch the B****Y air-con on..
We need some OXYGEN!!!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Went to Little Fushion again after clinic. 3 days in a row!!!

Wot will happen if we hav to live 2 days without electricity??
~~~~~~can die~~~~~~

Farewell

Another good tutor is leaving our dental school again.
First, Dr Muhammad, then Dr Ziad, now...........
Luke is leaving too.
Sigh..

Handed him a gift from all of us during lunch break. It's really really sad to see him go..
He is someone that we students can always rely on, someone that's so full of dedication and patient, a tutor that's always prepared to sacrifice his lunch time. Luke is the only tutor that i can always run to when i'm stuck with my work... He even told us to book-in new patients to get treatment plans done before he left so that we can be in ease.

Today my new patient presented with a more complicated case -- collapsed maxillary ridge (triangular shaped), with a number of missing, drifted, and heavily worn down teeth. By just looking into his mouth, i've lost half of my confident, thinking 'oh my.. how am i gunna treat this?" Basically, there's no bite at all for this patient!
Luke came over with his big *GRIN* again, asking "SO, what's going on here?"
With this worry face, i recited the clinical findings and Luke went on: "Let's take some PA radiographs and impressions!" We have to build the trays up with impression compound (which we don't usually need to do) and then take 2nd impressions with alginate. Of coz, Luke helped with our work. He's so good that both MW and i were just standing beside, admiring his work.

Lunch time, all the nurses, tutors and most of the students ran off, left Luke alone in the clinic, helping 2 other students with their patients, also explaining what i shall do in the coming visit, came out with some treatment options.

Though he said that's only so much that he can do for us, I'm greatful enough.

There's no fear nor worries with Dr Rickman's presence bacause anything that went wrong, he'll be there to safe and teach us. Probably I'm just too pampered, too used to having him around on Monday clinics. With Luke's leaving, i felt so hopeless and distress, especially with my IRC (final year) presentation cases. What am i going to do without him?? PL said it's time for me to be more independent...

It's painful to see him leave nonetheless i sincerely wish him the best in his job. With all the knowledge, skills and great qualities, he owns a promising future.

Hope our life will cross again.
He'll see us success when the day comes~*Finger-crossed!*~
=)

父亲节快乐

Diiiii
祝你快乐。。

Restless week

UK is not that depressing after all..

It was a very good weekend. The sun was out!!!! -- the most important factor that leads us to exciting outdoor activities. Gives my energy back.. =D

Grandpa came up from Reading for the weekend. We went on a hiking trip with E.Swan in a British small town called Hebden Bridge. The most popular " Pennine Way" which one of the transport company adopted the name from, is just a few miles away from this lovely town.
Our initial plan was to hike from Hebden Bridge town centre to the Pennine Way and make a circle back to Hedben Bridge through Hardcastle Craggs. Estimated length of route is 7-8 miles. As we believed that we will definitely be able to finish our mission, all 3 of us were in high spirits when we set off.
With no maps in hands, the 3 bold idiots manage to find the tourist info centre and asked for directions. However, the old lady in the tourist info pointed us to the wrong direction!! We only found out after 1 1/2 hr of walk.. It was a bit too late to draw a compass.. and when we did actually get it out, no one knows how to read a blaaaardy COMPASS!! ==" So we took a bus back to the town and carry on walking to the west.


After asking a couple of helpful passers by on our way, we noticed that Pennine way is 'a-lil-bit-too-far" from where we were. Seeing our empty hands and with just 2 pitily small carrier bags, a man even gave us a thorough scan and burst out:" Where do u plan to lodge?" --
errrrrmmm~~~~~~~~~~~~
We arrived in another village nearby - Heptonstall after about another 1 1/2 hrs of hike..


the tired faces ;p

Pic: Stoodley Pike from far

The splendid view from the top of the hill worth our trip! NO REGRETS!


~~*Ding.. Dong.. Ding.. Dong*~~
A wedding ceromony was taking place when we passed by an old church.



It was already quite late when we got back to Hebden Bridge. Didnt ended up goin to Hardcastle Craggs. As there was some time to wait for the next train, we took a stroll around the Hebdon.



Arrived Manc in the evening. The day is still bright. Went out for dinner in Genghis Khan with Grandpa's coursemates, and then a catch up in Kro-bar for the rest of the evening.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUN:

Get to hold my racquet finally!!! Havent been playing badminton in such a long while! Am getting shitty again in my skills.. =S NEED MORE TRAININGS!!
After badminton, we went for tea break, sitting outside Kro-bar under the sun. Abdullah was so reluctant to go home and so.. we just sat around, chit-chat..
Our tea break extended to dinner...
This is what JObless ppl do.. ;p

Summer is just too good as the sun sets at 10pm!!! hohohhhh

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mon:

Started our busy-working life again. 9am - 5.30pm with just a 10 mins break in the middle of the day drained me out. Was super tired after work. Was so thrilled that Abdullah suggested that we go for dinner!! Yes!!! We do need a NICE GOOD MEAL!!!!!! Off we (rach, wh n abdul) go... Skipping my way to New Samsi, fascinated by just thinking of the sushi-ssssssss!! A piece of Ton Katsu (krispy pork bread crumbs) + sushis+ fried banana + vanilla ice-cream+ green tea + a bit of Plum Sake and of coz, a long chill out with friends made my day!!!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tues:

Another long day of work in outreach, but this time, we're not even tired from work but waiting..Lots of time wasted as patients either cancelled or DNA. Get no work done at all today, but a whine from a jobless NURSE which just pisses me off! All they do is nothing but to sit in the office, having countless tea breaks, b*tch about other ppl, eye on us-STUDENTS and pick on little things! Dr Hopwood- our LEGAND must have trained his patience from these nurses..

A huge cup of ice Milo made my day worth again!! hehehh.. Little Fusion!! a place to ask for anything that you want, even it's not in the menu! =D
Was out till 1.30 am. Exhausted..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed:

~NEED MORE SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP~

Was literally falling asleep in PBL, yawning in front of my tutor! Oooops...

Freeeedom!

Whooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!

Feel like it has been so long that i'm on this routine of waking up early- go to uni, or else, revise-brunch-revise-nap- revise again then dinner-revise-and earlier bed time...

and finally...

I'm FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

Life without exam is just MARVELOUS!!!

Now tat i can read any books that i want. Dont mind goin into clinic to work. Dont even mind to work for extra hours in the dental school. Not thinking much about resiting as it doesn't bother me anymore. Bein able to do what i've longed for --> bumming under the summer sun, getting my dose of Vitamin D; do some shopping; play in the park with my beloved friends; let my perspiration dribble while running in the badminton court, chasing the shuttles; travelling to somewhere for a break; suggesting activities spontaneously; staying up late at night for no reason but listening to great songs, watch my anime and dramas........


Time to sing a song --


"FREEDOM...oh FREEEEEEEEEEEDOM..!"
