So many buts. I was just surprised when i realise what he was doing. Like, certain things are better left unspoken? Cuz even though it crushes any remaining hopes in a person, at the same time, it doesn’t help. Did it? Will she feel better? Maybe she might be relieved to know of the truth, but it is just your view on the issue based on what you observed, and more probably, she’s feeling wrenched.
Okay. What am i saying here? Who am i explaining to? Who the fuck am i blaming?
Float’s been making me rather angsty, and what with sleeping in the totally wrong position on wednesday, i’m still having a sore neck and back. Staying over in SOC last night didn’t help my back and i think my head is going to fall off my shoulders any moment.
Plus, i’m having 5ulcers in my mouth, with the bonus of a sore throat.

Goodness. I’m in a terrible mood recently. Hopefully the dentals won’t take offense at anything i did or said throughout the course of orientation.
Dark dental camp II
July 21, 2008 at 11:51 pm | In Rants, School | 8 CommentsDental camp was fun. It was nice, seeing the OG bond and work together, especially working together in bullying me. LIke hello? I’m your OGL lei. >.<
During this camp, i saw people whom i can work with, whom i can’t, whom i saw that can be entrusted with responsibilities and otherwise, and i see that my temper gets worn down by certain qualities in people. I realised that no matter what, i find it hard to maintain a high EQ at all times, or in other words, a nice friendly hypocrite. Because some things just rub me the wrong way, and once or twice is really alright. But sometimes, enough is enough and i flare up. Then i forget about it. And life goes on.
*****
Dark knight was really nice. Heath ledger is a reallllly good joker. I got neck cramps from watching the movie, although i’m seated at the fifth row from the back of the theatre. I’ve got a weak neck.
*****
Like i said, time pass, life goes on. People move, some chose to remain at the same spot. As the hours tick by, and tomorrows come, things tend to fade in and out of memory. Nothing ever stays the same, and memories get altered all the time. Glorified memories are all we have, and still we selectively filter through them to put ourselves in a better light.
I don’t know why, but i can’t remember a single problem we’ve had.
Selective memories are all we have, and we can only trust our gut feelings and instinct.
So go for it, i say! Or i can choose to be like you, to close my eyes, turn around and pretend to not see not hear not feel nothing.
So nothing it is, nothing it shall be.
Isn’t it?
Red cliff
July 12, 2008 at 12:04 am | In Out-s, Rants | 8 CommentsWent to watch red cliff this evening. =D It’s a super good show! The big screens have been pampering us this year, showing so many fab shows.
I’ve got to say, wu yu sheng is a really good director! I like the way he shoots the battle scenes, and the transition from one army to another, from the battlefield to the camp and from the war to the human side of the warriors. I heard from the radio that including pigeons and using the contrast of soothing music against the raging war scenes are his unique styles in directing movies.
I don’t really know what’s the story about (before i watched the movie), just that it’s about one of the few wars in china whereby the weaker state won the stronger state. I know who the warriors are, just not the story. Was the story in our sec3 chinese textbook?
I like the fighting scenes, although some parts of it are really too fake. A guy fighting against 10, 20 guys? And they go up to him one by one, or in pairs. So while he’s thrashing one guy with his back facing the rest, they just stood there and looked at his back… Hm.
Ok i’m getting really pissed, so much so that i can’t remember much about the movie. *rolls eyes.
Sheesh.
*breathes in.
I think my eyes just got rolled way back into their sockets!
The movie was very funny too. Heh. And to have funny scenes in the middle of a war, is really funny. Ok, you gotta watch it to know. And it’s not the lame-kind of funny too. Bwahaha.
But OH, the ending. Omg. The ending made the whole theatre went ‘WTF?!’. Seriously. The whole theatre just sorta gasped, lapsed into a spilt second of silence as they expected some sort of continuation and then as a whole, wtf. Seriously. I still can’t believe there’s actually such an ending. I thought someone hit pause on the player, or something.
Still, it’s really an excellent show, because even wih such an ending, i still find it very very nice! Do go watch it! I feel like watching it a second time already! ^o^
*****
You know, when a person is kind enough to help someone out of a difficult situation, and somehow she/he forgets about a detail, you don’t go and say ‘i really appreciate your help, but please don’t spring such last minute stuff on me next time’. Like, helllo? You’re the one receiving help, and even though it is really just something that slipped out of one’s mind, you don’t say such things, do you??
Or am i really at fault, for letting a small, not-so-important thing slipped out of my mind?
Seriously.
Goodbye
July 6, 2008 at 12:42 pm | In Rants | 3 Commentsmy life.
And hello, start of term I of year 2 of dental school.
*grumpy.
The near end of hols.
July 3, 2008 at 11:35 pm | In Rants | No CommentsI can’t believe this is the way i’m spending my last few hours of the precious one month holiday!! I’ve been working my arse off at the dental clinic this week. What’s happening to me?!
First week of holiday was spent… i can’t remember. Should be nua-ing.
Second week of holiday was spent in FOD every single day, slaving over float. Ok, maybe i didn’t really slave, but i was there for at least 6hours everyday. Damn disgusting, that period.
Third week was spent working, going out with friends, and one miserable day back at FOD.
Last week - which, omg coincidentally is this week (like, really?!) - of holidays was spent working e v e r y d a y at the dental clinic. Super disgusting. Was supposed to go shopping today, but… yes, we all know the saying about making plans. Someone’s gonna laugh at it, and screws it up.
I still have wax up to trouble over, which isn’t even halfway done, cuz i just keep building up the wax, carving, ends up over-carving, builds up wax again, tries carving again, over-carve AGAIN, build AGAIN, carve AGAIN etc. I’ve got to suppress this urge to throw the cast halfway across the room. Thank goodness i did, for if not, my god. Prof tan would seriously kill me, for he must’ve never met a more hopeless student than me. ERGH. And fyi, i am definitely NOT exaggerating over here.
Omg. I need to shop for new shoes. I can’t keep going to school with my toes peeping out, or else one day i’ll get screwed all over by profs, doctors and nurses.
Dental school life sucks.
Dreadful wax up
July 2, 2008 at 11:29 pm | In Rants | 2 CommentsI hate wax up. I absolutely detests it. I was so bad at it, that prof tan had to take me to one side, showed me the models he did and asked ‘your eyesight okay right?’
Most of us didn’t finish wax up and we brought it home, to finish up during the holidays. I was doing it tonight, and was so frustrated that i chipped away everything to redo.
Now i’m in the midst of redo-ing, and i’m all ready to give up!!! I don’t know what i’m doing, i can’t seem to get the occlusal surfaces to contact. I seemed to be building the waxes too high up, or i’m carving it all flat of anatomy.
ARGH! I HATE WAX UP! HATE HATE HATE!
Anchorage control on eye rings
June 25, 2008 at 12:31 pm | In Dental, Rants | 9 CommentsBeen having user dreams since like… i don’t know. Months ago. Addicts have user dreams of the drugs they use, when they are quitting. I’m not addicted to drugs, just .
So yes, an end to holiday float building for now, i hope!
Went to work at the dental clinic yesterday and the dental therapist on duty looked at me and asked ‘eh you not enough sleep ar?’ How rude! Considering we only worked together once before, and he’s the same age as me. Bzzt! Felt kinda jealous when i see him treating patients while poor us dental students are still practising on dummy oscars. But i take comfort in the fact that i won’t be just doing scaling and polishing, simple fillings and extractions. He said that were what they learnt in poly for the whole 3years. =S Boring. (he said that, not me!)
Then, i accidentally burnt myself while assisting the doctor doing RCT. He was using the torch and after off-ing it, the metal part where the flame comes out from will still be hot, so i moved the torch nearer to my side in case the doctor burn himself. I reached up to get some things and as my hand’s coming down, my arm grazed the side of it and !! It was HOT! Argh. Don’t know why i didn’t think much of it at that time, except that it’s a throbbing pain. After the patient is done, then fwah! It became reallly pain. No burn cream in the first aid box, nothing. I complained to the doctor and he mumbled something i didn’t catch. After an hour or two, he came and asked ’so did you put vaseline on it?’
Chui. So that was what i didn’t catch. By then, the burnt part has slightly dried up and thank goodness, no blisters formed like what my mummy predicted. =s But vaseline was applied, cuz nothing else to do ma. Chui.
Now the patch has turned dark purplish-brown. Very ugly! I hope it will not leave any scars.
And, before year 2 has even started, we’ve got ourselves a reading assignment of 50pages from a removable prostho textbook.
*sigh!
Oh forgot to mention something cool i saw at work yesterday. There’s this little boy, about 10-12years old, doing braces. He was in to extract two of his premolars and to put in two microimplants in his maxilla, at the position of the two extracted premolars (i think). I don’t know why is he extracting his premolars during his ortho treatment, and not before. So anyways, premolars extracted and the doctor used something like the drill we used for the pin during pin-amalgam restoration, and drilled into the gums! Super cool, but the tissue was too thick and it was very hard to drill. Then he screwed in the microimplants manually (the microimplant is like only 5mm long!) and tada, it was done. It was super bloody, due to bleeding from the extraction. But the drilling into the gums didn’t result in a lot of bleeding.
The boy has a class II bite and the doctor was trying to move his maxilla posteroinferiorly (backwards and downwards). Then after this, i got confused. Seems like the doctor wants to move his 3s into the 5s position? With the use of elastics, it would cause the 6s to move anteriorly, which i’m thinking is not desirable? Thus, the microimplants are important in anchorage control! I only remember this term vividly, cuz he kept saying that in ortho, the most important aspect is anchorage control, and if you can’t do well in this area, you can’t do ortho very well.
So.
It was a very cool procedure, and the little boy was very brave! He had to endure a super painful injection on his palate, and with all the scary drilling sounds, he was struggling very very hard not to cry. I see him trying to control his tears, i also want to cry! =( It was not painful at all during the treatment, it was just his nerves (heh, was that a pun?).
(i know above info. might not be accurate, cuz it was just based on my memory! so any professionals reading this, please just smile and let it go. i just want to jot all these down, so that when i finally learn it, i can understand)
* Anchorage in orthodontics can be defined as resistance to unwanted tooth movement.

I’m not a scaredy cat
May 30, 2008 at 8:13 pm | In Rants | 6 CommentsI’m just very scared of cats! I overslept one stop on the way home, and i had to walk through this carpark beside a coffeeshop to get home. There’s a lot of cats, all the time, roaming around that area and i was pretty freaked out careful looking out for cats. I made a small detour cuz i saw a black cat (yes, black cats are the WORST ever!). Then i saw this cat which looked like a lioness! SO SCARY! And his back was arched like he’s gonna get into a fight with the black cat. But (hehe) the black cat just gave a realllly big yawn and sauntered away. (cats don’t ever walk, do they? they sashay, they saunter, they catwalk)
Thought i was safe from cats, then there was this car reverse parking and a cat is underneath the car in the next lot! ARGH! Cat not moving. Car continued reversing. Cat would be safe, no matter what. I paused. Cat still not moving. Car almost parked. I foolishly thought it was safe and started walking. The moment i moved, the cat moved too! ARGH! And it’s coming directly towards me.
I was screaming and backing away like crazy. The car driver eyed me, and didn’t dared to get down the car. Cat still prowling towards me. Still screaming like crazy. Then it turned left, and lazed underneath another car.
WTF!
So paiseh can. The uncle got down from his car and laughed at me.
What happens in vegas
May 17, 2008 at 6:18 pm | In Out-s, Rants | No Comments//5.50PM
Was going to jog this morning, but i just couldn’t crawl out of bed. Alarm rang at 830am, again at 930am, and i jerked awake at 10.50am. I was supposed to be meeting lymon, xz and weisheng at marina square at 11am. =O
Caught what happens in vegas. It was sexy, funny and sweet. Cameron diaz has such a toned body, especially her arms! And i love her hair! I didn’t know that ashton kutcher is the male lead. <3 Come to think of it, the show’s really quite bimbotic. Ahaha, but it’s so cliche that it’s good!
Was supposed to meet min and tracy after the movie, but it slipped my mind that today’s my mom’s birthday. =o That’s the reason why i’m writing this now, cuz we’re going for dinner later.
But now, i’m nibbling on the wholemeal baguette i bought from carrefour earlier on. Oh. I LOVE bread.
Anyway, i’ve this friend (friend?) who had been behaving very weirdly recently. Like rolling-my-eyes kind of weird. Not his eyes, but mine. Ok. Never mind. But i thought that since we were friends, i should ask if there’s anything, if something, wrong. But no reply! So. Rude.
Sickening!
May 13, 2008 at 10:38 pm | In Rants | No Comments//10.30PM
Sickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. It’s a good, but tiring kind of sick. I do not have a sore throat, nor a fever or headache or any body aches. I just keep sneezing and having occasional dry coughs. I sneeze A LOT. I can sneeze up to 10times at one go. It’s just SO TIRING, i wish i was sneezing out my fats. Then, i wouldn’t mind sneezing. How much calories does a sneeze use up?
Mother’s day was fun.
School’s still fun, cuz with the increase in lab sessions, time pass super fast. Gravity seemed to work extra hard during lectures; the minute hand practically crawl to reach ‘12′.
And i need a pair of running shoes. It’s no longer a want, but a need cuz of ‘are you overweight?‘.
Chui. Currently having P MS. Pimples popping up everywhere.
Ploop ploop ploop~
