Restorative ^^

1st day of real work in 2012 did started off GOOOOD!
tho we gotto stay back till 5.45pm to finish-up the patients, at least i'm doing something that i like - RESTORATVIE!
Today- 2nd day of my new posting was eventful.
A PFM crown preparation on 26, a new case - a patient who claims that her husband was a dentist (in my mind i was thinking 'damn it.. a patient with high expectations!'), and a re-endo treatment on 14 - 2 canals!
Firstly, i've never prep a tooth since graduated in 2010. Took me more than 30 minutes to complete that prep i guess, that doesn't include temporary crown, impressions, bla bla bla...
Secondly, I've never done a re-RCT case before. God knows how difficult it is to find and clean those canals that were filled with GPs in a tiny hole (access cavity).
It's been a challenging day but glad that i've learnt a lot. =)

Our aim for now is to punch out on time everyday!!!!!

and to Farah who just got engaged! xoxoxo

Happy 2012!!

Time is ticking a lil too fast..
It's already a new year before i even realised.
Feeling a lil melancholy here. Spending the last day of 2011 on-calling and the beginning of a brand new year feeling sorry for a patient who might not even make it through today. What a way to end and to start a brand new year. Still, i'm grateful that my 2011 was a fulfilling and a heart warming year. Started a new life in an alien place, experiencing the true Malaysia, being able to work n to support myself, seeing my family more often than the past 6 years, making trips to a few places, of cause meeting up with EK and to spend some quality time together. The only downside is to have loose another precious member in our family. Also, i do miss my friends at the other side of the world a lot...

Everything does sounds perfect and i should be happy with my life now. Right?
but.......
to be honest, i'm not entirely settled. Strange that i feel lost sometimes and the sense of emptiness does frustrates me occasionally. There's something that is missing in my current life but me myself could not figure out what. Maybe my 8-5 job and less friends has made me a dull Jack. Then again, i'm feeling antisocial most of the time.

Oh wells, buhbye 2011 and welcome 2012. Foreseeing a daunting year ahead with many many uncertainties. My heart does feel heavy, on the other hand, i'm hoping to make a change.
What happens if i take a year out n travel around the globe? hmmmm....
