4 massive IRC cases completed!! All of them!! After 2 donkey years of hard work, tears, sweat and patients' time on the chair, I can finally see them having a full mouth of cleaned, polished, and caries free teeth! We all did came a long way..
Spent some time admiring the Mercedes in their mouth before letting them off, feeling please and worry at the same time..
Can never be truely happy until the day we obtained our BDS degree!
Nothing much that i can do now, other than praying hard, hoping that all these patients will keep their teeth and gums in tip-top condition. Foreseeing myself having nightmares of patients coming back with broken restorations, teeth falling apart, plaques everywhere, bad breath...
Dental students are SAD!
p/s: My 1st case is celebrating his birthday tomorrow, and my 3rd case's the day after! The new mouth of teeth is what I've gave them as their pressie. Happy Birthday Peter & Glen! Glad to see them smiling more confidently, especially Peter, being happy on his 63rd! ^^

10 reasons for not having kids
1. they wail
2. they kick
3. they shout
4. they moan
5. they spend your hard earned money
6. they fight
7. they run away and you'll have to chase
8. you may face the danger of early balding
9. your life is most likely to be shortened
10. you may be sued for child abusing
etc.... etc..... etc.........
They are little monsters!
PL had a spoilt child on her dental chair yesterday. A little girl who refuses to open her mouth. PL has to spend an hour pet-talking, just to convince the kid to let her stick a temporary filling in. The girl finally gave in for McD chicken strips!! WTH..
My poor friend was properly traumatised.. Now she gets goosebumps especially seeing blond little girls with a balloon in hand.
What has dentistry done to us?

Face It !
Wanna run away again...
to somewhere really far...
Anywhere with no patients, no IRC cases, no complaints..
Trillion miles away from the write-ups, the books, the notes and the papers...
If only time allows...

Blurrrrrr
Was contemplating if i shall skip the afternoon Oral Surgery session but a friend said: "Just go! Don't be lazy!"
So off i go, set my mood and prepared to extract as many teeth as i can!
It was 1.25 when i arrived the Dental Hospital.. 5 minutes earlier!! Which does not happen very often as i was always arriving at least 10 mins late.. hah!
The whole dental school was very quiet at that time. I quickly went into the gown room, being very pleased as there are so many clinical gowns left and i get to choose whichever that i like ( it was mostly empty when i arrived )
I was the first student that arrived the OS department and there were 3 tutors waiting to start the clinic. One of them passed me the 1st patient and say 'Go on.. Get a bay, patient's consent, the instruments..You know what your doing.'
2 hours went and no other students were in sight. At one point the tutors were asking if i know where were all the others and of cause, i've got no idea. I was thinking in my head that something must be wrong.. Most probably i'm not suppose to be there too!
I took a peek into the Ground floor clinic when i was on my way out of DH. There were no one there! When i got home and check my timetable, it was empty!!
I'M SUPPOSE TO HAVE A DAY OFF!!
wth...
So i'm one Keen and Hardworking student who actually went into the DH and treated patients while no other students is in clinics !!! and... i've got all the attention of 2 tutors, having one of them holding my hand while i was extracting a tooth... Plus, the whole clinic was cancelled on the only day that i'm actually bothered to be a little bit more punctual..
I am amazed with my blur- ness..
Damn stooop.....

Disturbed...
Went to a pub nearby after badminton. Enn Swan, Da Ge, and Ah Gu were just talking about radioactive wastes and how it causes gene mutation when a beggar came in, happily helping himself with our leftovers, not forgetting to grab a fork before he left the table!
I was properly traumatised.. Very... (partly because of the "mutated people that I'm imagining in my head)
Before we left the pub, I manage to catch a glimpse at the beggar. He was sharing his food with his mates, happily chatting outside the bar. They all look like a typical drunken person, unshaved, torn clothes, messy hair -- The people who cares about nothing, drinking their whole life away..The people who are capable, but still beg with no shame..
Had an urge to buy them food, not because i felt pity, but sorry.- Sorry for the life that they are living, and also the precious time that they are wasting....

Pan Mee & Mee Hoon Kuih
It's Daddieee's time to present his Pan Mee & Mee Hoon Kuih!!! ^^
Daddiee & big bro has been spending the whole afternoon making the dough while our Mr Donut spent his whole afternoon cleaning his room and found a jar of cashew nuts which he brought all the way from M'sia!
LOL...
Here's our MASTER CHEF and his 2 assistants (big bro & Ah Gu)
Ah Gu & I had fun playing with the dough (more of messing with them), peeling them into small pieces and chuck them into the boiling water..
We even have the fried anchovies, minced meat and chilli padi to go with our noodle!!
Yummieeee!!!
Just found out that Mee Hoon Kuih = Stir Fry Pan Mee..
Never knew what's Mee Hoon Kuih until daddiee made it for us.
It is delicious too!
We had JH's Chinese sweet with fungus for desert..
I randomly found a few pen brush in Charles' room and forced him to let us play with it.. =p
Have been wanting to practice my Chinese calligraphy and now i manage to catch a chance! =D
hohohhh..
Wonder where we get the ink from?
- Desperate, Qing Xi and I invented our own black INK!
He're the secret recipe-
Dark Soy Sauce + Water + Sugar
Why sugar?
We were thinking that sugar may thicken the 'ink' and so we went on melting some sugar in the microwave and mix them with the Dark Soy Sauce.. However it doesn't make any difference..
Should have added some flour into the mix instead!
Daddieee is real good in Calligraphy!! He taught us how to draw twigs by air blowing the 'ink'.
This is the piece that i love the most! It does look kinda.... Black... right? =D
We left Da Ge's room smelling of Soy Sauce!
LOL
~ All these besties made my mad week worth! ^^ ~
Graciasssss !

Partial Dentures
A partial denture with a free-end saddle + a Class 4 or 5 ridge is the dentist's nightmare- because it is not retentive at all....
A theory that is as easy as ABC, but I'll never believe until I experienced the 'fun' of making one..
I learnt the hard way..
Still, i learned..
Disappointed.. yet ..
SATISFIED!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just learnt the medic's way of remembering Basic life Support:
DR. ABC, don't forget glucose.
So when someone collapse, check for:
D- Danger
R- Response
A- Airway
B- Breathing
C- Circulation
perform CPR
*Glucose if paramedics arrived.

Panic Attacks
1st Attack:
Was on my way to MRI Dental Sedation Suite when I overheard a doctor's (Mr Panic) conversation over his mobile.
Dr Panic : "Hello is this Dr X? Heard that someone just found a LIVING PATIENT in the Dead's room! What happened???!!! Who's patient is that? ...."
My jaw literally dropped at that moment.. couldn't believe what I've just heard! I was swearing in my mind..
Being ultimately curious, i wanted to turn back and catch a look at the doctor's face. However i manage to hold my head back and pretend that i did not heard anything..
I too... had a cold sweat......
The doctor must be swearing even harder in his head! LOL ...
* Lesson 1: Do not simply listen to someone's conversation! *
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
2nd Attack:
Had to see my needle phobic patient in the afternoon for Endodontic treatment.. He has been causing a lot of stresses. The treatment is easy.. but to manage him, it's haaaaaaard. He jumps, complains, makes weird and loud noises at most of the procedures..
I was a little happy to have Paran nursing today as i thought Mr Sissy will be shy enough to hold a GUY's hand. However my plan was completely crushed at the second that Mr Sissy reached out his hand when i was about to apply a topical cream! wtf....
Was thinking of jamming in as much local anaesthetic as possible so that he will be too numb to even blink!
I couldn't stop laughing seeing Paran stretching his hand out unwillingly, looking very tortured, letting the patient hold only the back of his hand or his wrist.. hahha
At one point, the pt was even asking me to show him the root canal! (He cant even see his own tooth while he was lying on the chair, underneath a rubber dam, without a mirror. How on earth he's gunna see his own canal unless i take a picture of it? ) Wish that i could tell him to become an endodontist himself so that he will get to see as many canal as he likes!
Treatment went well today and i manage to obturate the root canal! One more session to go and I'm gunna say bye bye and kick him out of my list! HUrrayyyy!
To be fair, patient did gave us a little praise for providing a pleasant dental treatment. On the other hand, I wanted to tell him that he has been giving me the worst patient experience in these 5 years..
( Know that I'm being really mean here.. )
* Lesson 2: When a security guard or a bouncer gets in your way, SHOW HIM THE NEEDLE! *
=p

Lesson 3:
Dr Andreason: "Kiwi, strawberry and pineapple allergies are somehow inter-related to latex allergy."

Happy Birthday to our April babies (Davis, Rach, Wani & Paran) !!
Malaysian night was disappointing, however we went to support (more of to laugh at) my nervous housemate- Davis =p. He managed to complete the show with 'FULL PASSION'! =D Well done!
~~~ PARTY TIME!! ~~~
M.Soc threw an after-show party at a new karaoke bar (K2) in china town. It was our 1st time there! The luxurious deco with crystal lights, neons, lasers, mirrors and most importantly good R&B musics lighted the whole atmosphere. Everyone did went high!
Of cause, our birthday girl was drunk.. hehehh
Oli got his Barcelona photos back!!! They were all printed out of negatives!!!! I was very excited as it has been ages since i've properly hold a film! Guess what? I have just learn that films came in different colours (blue, red, brown, etc..) and there are different ways to develop them to produce different effects!
The idea of having one FXLR is quite cool! hahahh
We have been having countless meals together. PL made nasi lemak again and this time, pandan chicken too! Can never imagine myself being blessed with all these authentic home cooked M'sian food in UK! Uncle Fan did actually sacrificed 3 hours to just make us his special Penang prawn noodle today! =D No doubt, his effort of peeling the prawns did paid off. We all love it!
Will be missing all these gatherings and my dear friends soon...

Meaningful Quote
Most children grow up thinking their parents are strong and perfect.
But one day they will learn that it is not the case.
They will learn that the parents are only human and they can be weak, and
that's the time for them to protect their parents.
hmm..

怕就更要勇敢去闯
济凤说：“怕就更要勇敢去闯！”
这句话给了我无限的勇气和信心，把许多得不可能变成可能！=）
需要努力的理由：
- 家人与好友的等待
- 妮姐姐的支持
- 快离开的小冬瓜们
- 新车的诱惑
- K哥哥的苦口婆心加上以 shushi 当诱饵
- Croatia 蓝蓝的海 and Devil's Garden
加油啦！

Bits and Pieces 2
Shan just listed what i have experienced for the past few years..
=D
----------------------------------------------------------------------
2 best friends of mine just got married few weeks ago!! The 1st friend's wedding that i have witnessed.. yet i thought it was just a play until seeing them signing the registration paper and it ringed a bell..
I turned to another friend and asked with a very confused face: "Are they really getting married?????"
Mr X: " No.. it's a rehearsal." (=.=")
It was a secret marriage.
It's not that their parents disapproved the marriage and they ran away from home..nothing dramatic like that..
but still.. it is a secret..
Thanks to all of them for planning such a big surprise and CONGRATULATIONS!
It is real easy to just sign a paper..
but we all know that they both have came a long way...
- pick-pocketed
- failures
- depression
- uncontrolled spending
- missing flight
- car accidents
- house break-in
- loosing my laptop
- life & death
- moving across the Pacific Ocean
- etc...
=D
