Two years of work.

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 09:02:10 GMT

For all the sacrifices that we made in two long years in Orthodontics Department, all our work will be gone.

Forever.

Unless some clever juniors go and steal a cast or two.

My study models of patients. Yeah, fugly I know. Stop staring already.

After bending wires for two years, ~~my foreskin~~ the skin on my fingers have become rough and thick. Sighs. No boy wants to touch my hand no more.

And so, for the last time......

Goodbye to all my hard work! You'd either be bashed to crumbs or given away or stolen. And I don't really care.

Lost & Found

Sun, 14 Mar 2010 11:48:08 GMT

OMR is finally over!! When I was asked to define pain, I wanted to say "OMR". Lolx.

I found a few not-so-old-but-not-so-new-either photos stashed away in my laptop. They're up in Facebook for a few months already but I'm only blogging about it now.

This was the trip that KT and I made to send Milo home, because the apartment is just not right to keep a puppy.

The following day, a few of my college friends decided to make a trip down to 'Jalan-jalan Cari Makan' in the heart of Ipoh. The funny thing was that they were the ones leading and we were the ones following. What to do, Ipoh boy doesn't know how to get around Ipoh. Just like me la, blur KL girl. That's why, birds of a feather flock together. Har har har...

A visit to the vineyard is always a must!

"Aaaww... Soooooo cute!" *totally forgotten about Milo*

You know, the newborn kid (baby goat, if you didn't know) has the strongest 'mutton' smell that I've ever smelled. Don't believe me? Go sniff.

Have you heard of the old advice that, in order to cure asthma, you have to swallow a live baby rabbit whole?

Oh wait, was it a newborn mouse? Sorry, wrong story.

Lunch was at the famous 'Fish Head Noodle Soup' shop. Good thing we got ourselves a table without having to wait for long. It's always packed with customers.

Oh. Em. Gee. I. Am. Salivating.

After that, we visited the Perak Cave Temple. It has way too many steps! Many times when I thought I've reached the top, I saw more steps upwards. Ah, I gave up climbing.

Tea time at another famous coffee shop. Everything in Ipoh is so famous that neighbouring shops actually put up similar names just to confuse the customers and lure them into dining in their 'not so famous' restaurants. We nearly got cheated. "-.-

We <3 bowling!

And of course, dinner at another famous restaurant. Can't remember the names of the shops but they're all famous.

And so, back to studying. Three more practicals to go, and then A WHOLE MONTH of enjoyment!!

PS: I've already found a patient for my Orthodontics exam. Woohoo!

In need.

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 13:58:23 GMT

This is just a quick announcement.

I'm looking for the "perfect" Orthodontic patient for my upcoming practical exams.

If you think you fit the picture, drop me a message at the comment box below this post.

My exam's next Tuesday, and the place is Butterworth, Malaysia.

It will just be a check-up. No treatment will be carried out.

I'll buy you dinner afterwards :)

Thank you so much.

5 practicals to go.

Right now I'm super-multitasking. (If there's even such a word.)

I'm writing my Community Dentistry report and playing backgammon (it's addictive!) while blogging and nursing KT. Yeah, he's got the fever, cough and sore throat. It's so contagious that it's a trend. Everyone else has to have it. Oh well, hope everyone gets well soon.

The worst thing about falling ill is when you're sitting for your finals examination.

I think it was a blessing in disguise that Pedodontics practical exam is postponed to this Saturday. So now everyone can recuperate for 4 days.

Sleep all you can. Drink lots of water. Most importantly, WEAR A FACEMASK. I cannot emphasize how important it is not to spread the infection ~~to me because I'm so delicate and frail~~ to others.

Take care ya'll.

The reason it took its own life.

Gary grew out of its very small shell.

And there were no larger shells for it to ~~shop for~~ fit into!!
(Because I don't keep shells in the aquarium. Duh.)

And so it chose to die rather than being squashed in its little shell.

The end.

P/S: Two exams down. Eight more to go.

P/P/S: Thanks for all your prayers and support. I will make it through. Somehow :):)

Exam fever.

Mon, 22 Feb 2010 09:11:11 GMT

Exam fever is defined (by me, of course!) as a state of cluelessness during the preparation of a major examination.

Signs and symptoms

1. Room is in a complete mess. Books and papers are laid everywhere because the study table is too small to contain the pile of paper that you were just referring to earlier on.

2. Increased in appetite, leading to munching habits, and too much snacking results in weight gain.

3. In some individuals, the reverse occurs. Loss of appetite is seen, together with loss of weight.

4. Some persons even have loss of hair!

5. Some people have headaches, gastritis, or diarrhoea due to the overwhelming stress. Ah well, the diarrhoea could be due to too much coffee.

6. Because of not leaving the house as often as you usually would, you tend to bathe less, sweat more, and have more body odour.

7. The television is your companion when you get too bored of studying.

8. Sometimes Facebook is also an entertaining outlet to check out on others to see if they are studying or playing Facebook games just like you are now.

9. Some people watch Youtube while studying because multi-tasking improves memory power, or so you think.

10. A few people have the tendency to do spring cleaning of the entire house instead of studying, just to make themselves feel useful.

Diagnosis

Purely clinical. Radiographs not required. CT scan of the brain might help.

Treatment

Not required. It is a self-limiting disease.

Happy CNY!

Fri, 19 Feb 2010 11:17:27 GMT

A very delayed Happy Chinese New Year greeting from me :) Ah well, it's not actually delayed. There's 15 days of CNY so I'm still on time. Har har har.

This year being the year of the tiger (that's me), it's gonna be a RAWRing year.

Been munching on all sorts of foods during the holiday festival. Cookies, mandarin oranges, ice-cream, chocolates, you name it.

And I fell ill.

What an awful time to be sick! My exams are in a week's time. Boohoo...

Another one??

Wed, 10 Feb 2010 09:21:50 GMT

It's true. My place is a haven for so many creatures.

Introducing my new pet......

Gary the Snail.

Meet him / her in person.

(How do I even tell if Gary's a male or female? Because I can't. Because snails are hermaphrodites. Haha. Gotcha!)

Symbiosis of Gary and the guppies. Gary practically cleans up the tank by feeding on the guppies' leftover food. Because it eats so much, it shits a lot too. Like really a lot.

Gary was transferred from the water plant that my mum happened to pick up when we were on vacation in Penang. No one knew that it was hiding somewhere within the plant. Anyway, the water plant died due to lack of sunshine, but Gary lives on- in the aquarium. Initially, it was as small as a piece of nose shit (pei si) but it grew so quickly.

Well, I personally feel that the easiest pets to keep are fish and water snails, followed by hamsters, and the most exhausting one.............. Milo.

Brain fart.

Pardon me, I'm having a brain fart.

Can't seem to be able to blog about anything at the moment.

Wait wait... I think I have something to write about.

Ah great, it's not coming.

My baby has grown.

Sun, 31 Jan 2010 01:58:08 GMT

Just last weekend we paid a visit to Milo's new home. Well, temporary home, of course. KT and I already planned to keep her after getting a new place. The apartment is just not conducive to rear a hyperactive dog like her.

Milo shows favoritism. A lot.

She ran TO KT when he called her name, but ran PAST me when I called her.

"-.-

And she's still as hyper as always. Zzzzzz... Are all dogs like that??

In her very large pen with another female pooch about the same age as her, or maybe a few months older.

The brown dog was craving for our attention because she saw us manja-ing Milo and all. So the brown one (let's call her Brownie) was jumping up and down just to get us to pet her head. Lol so cute.

We even gave thought that maybe, perhaps maybe, we'll adopt Brownie too.

Just maybe.
