Revolution

I guess, I've been inspired to blog recently. Reading good blogs make me feel like I need to put a lil more effort into mine. I've been told many times, that my old blog, the one when I was in Argentina, is far more interesting than the current one. I honestly have no idea why I couldn't write like before. I suppose as I grow older, I do not feel as comfortable revealing my private life to the public. I used to write just about anything that happened and everything that came across my mind. Ppl always find joy in digging into others' life. This blog, on the other hand, contains me in a different way. It's more of my thoughts than stories.

However, I am going to TRY, from now on, to incorporate my life stories into this blog.

I'm posted in Periodontics (scaling department) for 3 weeks now. Any of you who wants to get scaling done by me can pay me a visit. I'm inexperienced and not tactful, so come at your own risk. I'm guessing there'll be a lot of stories coming up soon from here. Prolly ranging from being blasted for doing a bad scaling to mastering it and feeling all satisfied.

Oh gosh, I just realized I haven't gotten my instruments sterilized!!!!!! First mistake, before I even stepped into the department. Geeeez... Wish me luck, man.

Life would be so beautiful, if we had no worries to intoxicate our happy moments.
The happiest man is, one who has nothing to hide.
There're so many setbacks in life, they just keep coming, like a pest in our favourite plant.
It'll never end, and this, makes life frustrating.
But what would an easy life make us?
"HAPPY!"...yea that's definitely my answer.
I dream of peaceful days and life with no financial constraint.
If I had plenty of money, I'll eat them all up. I mean..splurge on food.
If I had no exams, I'd be in the theatre all day.
If I had no flaws, I'd be the happiest person alive.
Would I know how to be happy though, if I had no miseries to remind me of the delight.
Life probably wouldn't be as colourful without the dark colours making the contrast.
Sometimes I feel so depressed thinking of all the weaknesses I possess, all the mistakes I've made, all the opportunities I've missed.
At times I wish I was given a break, a moment free of troubles and darkness.
But as I grieve and fill myself with selfpity, there's somehow always an angel whispering to my ears.
She sings the song of life to me, so soothing and meaningful.
And that gives me strength to fight against everything that pulls me down.
Life is a perpetual cycle of glory and pitfall.
Most people succeed not because they have extraordinary talents, but because of their extraordinary perseverance.
If you would just try one more time, who knows, that could be the day yr dream comes true.

When life knocks you down, try to land on your back.

Because if you can look up, you can get up.

Let your reason get you back up. - Brown, Les

Friday the 13^th is indeed a bad day.

I had an emotional storm earlier today.

It was made out of sadness and anger,

worries and nuisance.

Worst of all,

I had been a bad friend today.

I know I really do suck at pujuk-ing or comforting ppl,

or mayb I just don't care enough.

Whatever it is,

I really do feel bad for not being there for you when u needed me just now.

I guess I was selfish.

I needed some fun to cheer me up after the long horrible day.

I chose sth else instead of attending to you.

Which friend does that, right?

I shall try,

and keep trying,

to be a friend, as good as you.

A million apologies,

hopefully accepted.

I'm gonna chew up my book.

Oh, how I wish I could stop wasting time.

TRIED to convince myself to study for Medicine test,

but this, is what I ended up doing....

A radiograph of myself.

Kinda cool. =)

The best way to a woman's heart is through her stomach.

MmmmMm...

Hope, is all I've got.

I've written and deleted at least 4 times now.

Nothings seems to be appropriate.

It's either too private or irrelevant.

So many things are going on right now,

at times I feel like i'm losing it.

There are times when I feel so helpless.

I wish someone could squeeze me tight and

tell me everything's going to be okay.

I hardly, hardly,

I mean, almost never,

hate anyone in my life.

But recently there're some ppl who..

manage to get themselves hated.

So unreasonable.

So rude.

So demanding.

So narcissistic.

So unbearable.

At times,

I feel like I'm incapable of smiling.

There's no reason to.

Though,

I guess every single person in this world is thrown with a bundle of problems.

They just come in different forms, sizes and at different times.

My lecturer mentioned 2 days ago,

if your life isn't full of problems,

you're probably walking in the wrong direction.

I suppose our lifes only differ according to how we handle these problems.

I hope things would fall into place,

real soon.

I really do miss my own sweet smiles.

Okay, i'm crapping now.

What are words
If you really don't mean them
When you say them
What are words
If they're only for good times
Then they don't
When it's love
Yeah, you say them out loud
Those words, They never go away
They live on, even when we're gone

You are far less than what you proclaim..I wish I could tell you that in your face.

At times life just seems so dark

when some people try so hard to pull you down.

Even when you resist and succeed,

there're marks left on you.

Sometimes I wish to just sit by the beach,

have my hair brushed by the wind.

Have nothing in my mind,

nothing but you who sit by my side.

If love is not mad, it is not love.

Prostho went by like a breeze.

3 weeks of lab work was a combination of fun and pressure.

On the first week, we were finishing up our

work from the previous semester.

Special tray.

Used for taking impressions of patient without teeth (edentulous)

Had to make 2, both upper and lower jaws.

Teeth setting on the articulator.

This is the step where we arrange all the teeth as they should appear on the denture.

It's a lil bit tricky, and it's not like we can just plant in the teeth as we wish, we have to follow certain principles.

It's fun to see the end result because it looks really pretty. =)

On the 2nd and 3rd week, all we did was practising on each other how to take a good impression of the oral cavity.

It seems pretty simple but when u actually do it, it's the otherwise.

 One of our cubicles. The dental chair with all the necessary equipments.

 And of course, we need a patient..

We basically take turns to be patients.

In the beginning, all were excited to volunteer, but later our mouths got tired, and pimples started popping out due to the impression materials which get smeared all over our mouth region.

 p.s - I forgot to remove my lab coat. We're not supposed to sit on the dental chair with it.

 These are impression trays which come in various sizes.

We place the impression material onto them and they are to be inserted into our mouths.

 My dentist, aka groupmate =)

 In the process of taking an impression of my mouth.

 Materials sticking all over. I wiped half of them away already.

 Roselyn in action.



Extra make up for Kamini. =P

End result. An impression on the teeth and surrounding structures.

We'd then pour in sth called the dental stone, which hardens in the form of the negative replica of the impressions we take,

The patient's cast.

I guess some of u might find these procedures familiar because this would have been done on u before u got yr orthodontic treatment done.

Finally, my group has moved on to paradise department, called the community dentistry (CD).

We're technically given some projects, but practically do nothing most of the time.

Projects for this posting are:

1) Browser on public health care.
2) A review on the latest community heath issue.
3) Come out with a puppet show for our dental camp in kindergardens.


CD is the most chill out department, so i am so gonna enjoy this to the very last bit. =)






Few days ago, sth nice in the library caught my eyes.





Within you

Throughout yr life, Always pursue
sensitivity and kindness
as your chosen way.

A sense of humour is wonderful,
Hold on to yours.
Being able to laugh at the world
will see you through many hard times.

Guard against bitterness and sarcasm,
They can destroy you.
Be yourself,
The world will benefit from your talent.

Search for people who love and
appreciate you for who you are
and who encourage you to improve...

Don't be satisfied with less
Than all you can be,
for you have greatness within you.
