blog status: frequency of updates = rarely or never
Ok ok, I know I super neglect my blog...BUT I really have been busy with studies, etc etc..."but if you have time to play computer games, go online, do-other-things, then don't you have the time to blog??"...ok you got me, JUST LAZY I guess? my bad, no excuses, pardon s'il vous plait.
One day I had a conversation with some friends and the topic about having your interest as your profession came about. Some think that that's a good thing, while others feel that it would "kill" the interest/hobby...meaning that turning it into a job would make it boring (as it is done everyday), and it would no longer be seen as an interest but a "responsibility"...something that you cant do as and when you please anymore...
For me, I'm really glad that my future career would be something I actually have the interest and passion to do. Long ago, when i was still in school, i was interested in multimedia design because I like to work with photoshop, design some sites, etc...Then my Dad told me, to not confuse somthing that is your interest, with your career option. He didn't mean that an interest shouldn't become a job. What he meant was that your interest may not necessarily be a suitable option as a profession (taking into account availability of job markets, etc). Thanks to that, I reconsidered again, which was good since then I was young, haven't been fully exposed to what else the world can offer, and not fully matured yet (in way of thinking!).
Few years later, i was introduced to the idea of become a Dentist, and everything just clicked. I thought, "Yes, this is definitely what I want to do, what I can envision myself doing day-to-day". Something that I enjoy doing, something I have genuine interest in, something that I feel is worth doing, something that I can look forward to at the beginning of a new week.
There are some people I know that seem to dreaddddd Mondays and absolutely delight in the knowledge that Friday is approaching. Although I have yet to enter the career world, but I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't dread having to go to work knowing that I love what i do, and that makes me feel blessed to be given the opportunity to reach that ideal. For those who hate their job, i feel a bit "sad" for them because it must be very tiring and unpleasant to always complain about your profession and not have the heart to do it. Of course, not everyone feels that way up and up to that extent, and I also understand that not many are not able or given the opportunity to "choose what they want to do" as well. Which is why i feel very lucky to be given the opportunity to study and pursue my dream job: a Dentist *sparkle*
I hope that in the future, dentistry will not only become a profession to me, but also a lifestyle. I seriously can't wait to start this new chapter of my life =D but for now...let's see how well I do as a Dental student first (feeling the load yo!) XD
qing...you're so dumb...what have you been doing for the past 3 weeks?? sure, u did some work, but was it enough?? you could have done a hell lot more studying, qing...why don't you ever learn? what do you mean you were busy? fine, you met up with all your friends that are back, and you hung out and had fun..but, what about your work? ask yourelf qing, did you make the most of your time?...what about those days, where you did nothing but go online, watch tv, play the piano and eat? you could have used some of that time to do more work...is your carving done? is your report done? is your dental histology done? nope....nope....nope....come on qing, come on!

i've been in imu for about..2 months now..what can i say? i've met a lot of great new friends, and i really enjoy my time with them =D however, i'm also experiencing a new and different level of "stress"...uni life is so different from a-levels, which seems like nth compared to what i'm going through now...but still, no regrets, even if i have to experience hell, i still want to do dentistry (prof toh: "feel the fire!") =P
oh btw, orientation was FUN...go 13omb! LOL...we may not be the no.1 team, but we still rock! =P
i'm enjoying our dentures (dental lectures) a lot! everything to do with dentistry has been very interesting for me...learning all about the head&neck, our museum sessions (which is a lot of fun), dental skill lab (which is even funner) and clinic sessions (ok, unofficial clinic sessions, but still fun! we've been doing face painting to help us identify specific locations of arteries, veins, nerves and muscles on the actual surface of the skin)...everything so far has been tough, but great! i love doing all these hands on stuff XD...DT109 rocks man, others may not realise it, but we're starting to become a very close knit group =D
its 3.45 pm, and i hear the melodious chirping of birds right outside my window...its a black and white bird...if i'm not mistaken, i think its a magpie
this marks the last day of my longgggggggggggg..ggg holiday since July 2008.
i know, how did time fly so fast??
i'm pretty excited to be finally starting my studies again, but kinda missing the free and easy relaxing days i've been having =P i'm not sure if my body is ready to be waking up early for 8 am classes yet, but oh well..
registration day @ IMU is tomorrow. the only other person that i know who is going to do dent with me is Zeng. i hope i can survive IMU's notorious ragging (so i've heard) but it could be fun =D
oh right, KL left on the 20th, so its back to ldr for us, but i reckon since this round is the 2nd year d, it'll be much easier to cope, which so far, it is =)
Merry (belated) Christmas and Happy (belated) 2009 to all!!! It's a new year, and new year calls for new resolutions! i have a couple of resolutions of my own, although i'm not sure why i bother...towards the middle of the year i would have forgotten them already =P anyways, here's a few ideals that i've set to resolve for 2009: 1) stop thinking unnecessary stupid things 2) (try) to exercise regularly and be fit(ter) 3) don't spend so much, don't buy "just because its cheap and i don't have it"(i've been improving my shopaholic cravings) 4) study hard and be the best (haha IF i can ever) ok, i have many more, but i don't think its so vital to put them all up here, it'll just take up blog space. i've been doing an attachment under Dr.Suresh @ Pristine Dental Care. its been pretty interesting, and i'm learning things which i believe will benefit me throughout my course studying dentistry and also in my career as a dentist. Observing Dr.Suresh (i think he's a great dentist as he truly cares for the patient's well being as a whole) has been quite fun for me =P since he's a specialist in cosmetic dentistry, most of the time i see cleaning cases, ortho cases, soome crown prep...last thursdays i had the chance to see an implant surgery =D it was pretty cool (no, i don't find the blood, etc disgusting). i feel quite lucky to be given the opportunity to do this attachment. i can see myself doing this, definitely. i just went for my lunch break, and i bought my birkenstocks! i bought it now cuz once cny is here, cannot buy any shoes... random fact of the day : Odontophobia is the fear of teeth.
