My favourite subject for now. I know. So crazy. I don’t like the world load. Don’t like the amount of reading that needs to be done. But it’s so interesting. I love raising flaps!!! Andplacing sutures too, like yay? Lol. FYI I’m not being sarcastic. I really do love love O/S for now. Might change my mind later, always do, but yea, atm it’s real fun =)

Newayz. 12.11 am. Class  at 9 tomorrow. Prolly shud sleep. Since Ms Chai say one shud really sleep before 11pm to allow your liver to detox your system effectively from 11-12. RIGHT. Lol. Not that I don’t believe her. Just impractical. I don’t fall asleep easily. Insomiac. Can be real sleepy and still won’t fall asleep. It sucks to be me T____T

Sigh. Did something really stupid today. FMLFMLFMLFMLFML. Dropped something important. Sigh FMLFMLFMLFML. How the hell did it drop from my folder I have no effing idea. I HATE PLASTIC BINDERS. THEY SUCK. SUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK. Note to self: when something’s lost, it usually is lost and PLS PLS PLS don’t bother tracing back your steps all the way back to dent school from North trc when it’s 37 degrees. Losing stuff is dumb. What’s even dumber is actually believing I can somehow find it back. FAT CHANCE I’d say.

Newayz. CNY in what. 3 days.  Woohoo. I hate CNY in Adel. Yep. With a passion. But hopefully gonna be better this year. Doesn’t take a lot ot top the shitty ones I’ve had. Gonna nom nom nom all the CNY cookies yayyyyyyyyyy. I am most excited about that part to be honest. No really. I’m not kidding. LOL everyone else is prolly going on and on about games or drinks, but for me, has and will always be FOOD =) Speaking of which I still havent fulfill my vegetarian promise oh crap. Will do it soon. Promise. Promise it’s not an empty promise. Dear god, pls believe me. Dun punish me k. I will seriously do it. Thank you for understanding.

Happy Chinese New Year everyone. Have a roaring tiger year =)

Been back for five days. Was loooOOooooOOOOoooong. Can’t believe I said I wanted to come back to Adel before. Sucks. It’s so hot and school’s so long hours and I am so bored all the time. Gone are the late yum cha sessions with TAG. Gone are the spontaneous shopping sprees in KL. Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. But neways. Came back with lots of stuff and was sooooo happy all my luggage manage to go through. My hand carry was really overweight – me thinks, didn’t actually weigh it, but yea, they didn’t check too, which was good. Then got off customs in a whiff. Well the wait was damn long, but when I finally got to the counter, the officer asked me a couple of questions regarding the food I brought over, and let me go just like that. No scans. No opening bags. Nada. I was so thrilled. Save me all the hassle having to show all the food and explaining what they were. LOVE MELBOURNE AIRPORT TO THE MAX. I think that’s cause they are so congested so they can’t afford to check every single person. Not like Adelaide, super strict le sigh. Plus I must have looked honest? Lol. Newayz. I had to go to Uni straightaway after I landed. Was so bleh. Clinic orientation was such a bore. Never fails to amaze me how the dent school likes to repeat all the orientation stuff over and over again each year. YUP. From first year to fifth year (yay, officially started as fifth year hohoho), it’s all the same thing. The only difference is you get MORE orientations depending on what you are doing. Sigh. Neways. That just means I get to laugh at other juniors *cough cough* eemay *cough cough*

The only highlight of the week was today’s scrub sessions at RAH. We had to do oral surg rotations so today we were taught how to scrub in. It was so hardcore though. So intense T___T I’m so worried that I will be one of those students who faint in first surgery. That will be so embarassing. Though it happens. But it’s so hot. Like seriously the moment I put on my mask, I’m like gasping for breathe. Somehow they feel so different to the normal dental masks we use. But I got to wear real scrubs for the very first time, yippee yay.Looked like a retard with the head and shoe covers but who cares. I’m in scrubsssssss. Lol. Had to wash our hands in the designated way, my hands never felt so clean before. Like seriously CLEAN. I swear I saw them glistening with sparkles lol. But RAH is too freaking huge. I mean it’s not that big. But when you are in there, it’s like a maze. I got lost trying to find reception. Zzzz. And the facilitator showed us all the different theatres and what’s not, I felt so lost. Didn’t know where I was really. I can already smell disaster – defo need extra time to get ready to account for time getting stuck in somewhere of the building. OH WELL. Luckily we don’t do surgery rotations often. But I reckon will be interesting. At least something different. With lots of blood. Ok that came out wrong. But you know what I mean. Lol. Meh next two weeks gonna be full on – having all oral surg lectures and pracs. Apparently involving pig. And teeth. And extraction. Hmmmmmmmm.Update when I find out =P

Exactly 3 more days till back to Adel. During this past week or so, I’ve never eaten so much in my life. Le sigh. I’ve been trying to race against time, chasing up all the food I’ve missed, not wanting to regret it when I get back. But it’s such a stupid battle. Like I have nothing to gain really, except excess weight. Sigh.. I don’t even want to weight myself now – so scared that I’ll faint the moment I see the number T___T

On the other note, my uni timetable finally came out. Thank freaking God. It looks really packed. Sigh. And that’s just for precommencent term. Actual academic semester hasn’t start. I don’t want to imagine how it’s gonna be like >.< But I’m really excited though. Can’t wait to start fifth year officially hohohoho

CNY is coming yay. Two weeks plus away. But I’m gonna miss all the cny movies. So sad. Someone wanna download it for me? Pretty pls??? *riceball, wink wink* Yea? Lolol. It looks funny and good =( Sigh I can hardly remember the last time I’ve seen a chinese movie in a cinema. That was last year I think. Ip Man. See laaaa, I’ve been so deprived of canto movies sob sob. Okla, psot getting pointless. Gonna end it. Update when I get back. Gonna be scorching hot =(

Sigh. I’m seriously sick of blogging. Maybe I should stop altogether. Hmmmmmmmmmmm. I cannot be blogging forever right? Perhaps a date. Like say on the day I graduate? I should just close this down forever and ever. One, for me being lazy. Two, don’t want my future employers to dig dirt up about me hahahahha. Three, I don’t think there’s much I can write here anymore =(

Newayz. Exactly 2 more weeks till Adelaide. Sigh. I wanna start 5th year asap, yet don’t wanna leave Malaysia. Adelaide’s is gonna be so effing hot. And the food and people and shopping in Malaysia. Sob sob. I’ll miss them all dearly.

And the stupid fever I have now. Damn irritating. Been taking lots of panadols and it works for a while before I start getting the chills again. So far nothing after 10 hours since my last panadol tabs – fingers crossed I’m all healed. Such a shitty time to get sick when I’m on holidays. Totally disrupt my plans. Sighhhhhhh. Sorry TAG. Had to cancel plans. Would have been heaps fun. But getting sick in Adelaide in worse, being all alone T___________T Just end up crying like why nobody cares, those are the times I miss my mum lol. Yea I’m a bad daugther. I’ll try to be better =P

There’s still loads to be done and I haven’t done anything. Sigh. Need to scan and photocopy documents, then get them certified before applying for police check etc. Doesn’t sound too hard, but the hassle! Oh well I better start now or I never will. Toodlez.

*update*

Changed to not protected since some1 say ntg to protect =( Hahah, I’mma gonna change this to a taggie for those in Adel, so yea, everyone who read this HAVE TO do one in their blog ^^

*end update*

Haven’t done a password protected post for ages, so here goes. Don’t really have any secrets or gossip to spill actually. Oh wait I do!! But nah, can’t say it here. This is one of the posts which I am password protecting for the sake of password protecting it *evil grin*. Anyway. That’s cause I’m really really REALLY bored. Wake up really early, can’t get back into sleep. Sigh. I hateeeeee myself nowadays. Is it really a sign of getting old?? But I slept really late last night (2am) and my alarm went off at 10am – maybe I really should just not set it at all, cause everytime it goes off, I can’t get back into sleep. FML. It’s supposed to be holidays and sleeping in yet, the latest I”ve slept in so far in Malaysia is… 11 am? How freaking sad. I used to be able to sleep till 1/2 pm. Even 3pm. But that’s cause room in Adelaide is really really dark. I cannot tell the times at all. Sigh. Hate the sun.

Newayz. Goss. I found out some ppl failed 5th year T___T. And I thought it’s a guaranteed passed, hence being in fifth year, I felt like I’m safe for once, no more worries, I’m going to be a dentist for sure. To get this news is just. Saddening. Sigh. There’s really no guarantee in life is there? I still need to study hard =( Though I do remember now that one of my NY resolution is to study more, party less. I hate studying!!! After some 18 years of education, enough is ENOUGH. And this is going to be my 19th year and oo, 7th year in Adelaide.

HOW FREAKING UNBELIEVABLE. I can still taste the day I just arrived in Adelaide. Strange town. Lots of angmohs. Cool breeze I likey. Sunshine till 8pm wtf totally messed up my biological clock. Lots of apricots yumm! And then first day of school. Weird uniform zzz. Calling other people ‘father’. Sandwich and banana for lunch, I was sooo worried till everyone else got their banana(s) out. Not understanding most of what other people are saying. Realising not all Asians are Chinese, I really missed being able to converse in Canto/Mando. Angmoh friends telling me that my english is funny FML.

Second year in Adelaide. Got a room mate for the first time in my life. Thought she looked quiet and decent and hard to talk to FML. Got along only after a few days, both too shy ekhem. Like a train on fire woohoo. Thank god for that.

First day of uni. Prof T was my group’s tutor for the very first session. Learn about communication and what, professional behaviour etc. Freaking deluded into thinking there’s very few Malaysians in Dentistry: found a whole freaking bunch during Fresher’s BBQ cause they all mingled together gether. Introduced to other nationalities: Korean, S/porean, Hongkie. We were seriously multicultured.

Second year of uni. New girl in my group. Everyone’s really interested in her. She turned out to be real friendly. Became one of my best firends in the course =) To the extent that we can talk non stop for hours and HOURS omg, my cousin seriously questioned if there’s that MUCH goss in Dentistry. YES THERE IS. Lol.

Third year. Seeing real patients for the very first time. Everyone’s a nerve wreck on the first day. Was turned instantly after the first hour. I love my work! Fillings yay. Nay to scalling. Hate hate hate. Half point of the course hip hip hurray!! Never thought we made it this far. Half BDS – everyone got dressy. Fun fun fun night ^^ Till someone puke in Distill. LOLOL.

Fourth year. Crash course into MORE dentistry. Felt like dying most of the time. But I still really really love what I do. Clinics were looooOOOOoooog. And that’s an understatement. Didn’t think there’s so much to learn in Dentistry until exam comes. FOL. More cramming. And cramming. 7 exams in a week. MAJOR FOL. We all survived it. Yay to us.

So that’s my six years in brief. Now the tag comes: How has your live been in Adelaide?? Pls do tell in brief (in brief only ah) ^^

To another and hopefully the very last year in Adelaide =) I love life!!

Hip hip hurray, time to welcome 2010. This post kinda belated, but anyway, happy new year everyone!! I think I wished everyone either via sms, msn or FB so if I left out anyone – wish you a very very happy 2010!!

2009 has been such a loooooong yet short year. Too much happening, too lil time and too crampped up. Started fourth year with a failed FPros test lolol. Luckily it was just a test. Doesn’t count towards final grade. Phew. Then having crashed course through pre-clin with endo and pros OMG. Never felt so dumb in my entire life. We were forced to take on new streams like paedo, PCU etc etc etc and have to adapt at the speed of light. Aren’t we all genuises to be able to make it this far? Seriously. I can never stop pinching myself – cannot believe I made it to fifth year =)

To others who ain’t so lucky, I can’t only pray and hope the best for them. I know hard work is not everything. I know those long hours spent on studying seemed useless. The truth is, every little bit helps but ultimately and really unfortunately, it really comes down to luck. Sigh. It’s really unpredictable that it scares the crap out of me most of the time. Though I studied hard. Well I thought I did. Anyway, that’s all of the past. Time to look at new year ^^.

Academic aside, I’ve partied way too much this year. Le sigh. It’s not really a lot really but for someone like me who don’t really party (ie only pubcrawl once a year or occasional clubbing if friend’s bday), it feels like I’ve really been going out too much. So in 2010 – shall tone down and study hard! I know I say that every year and fifth year being such a clinical year surely doesn’t help T___T I’ll try my best anywhoo.

Socially, I’ve made lots of new friends (adelaide’s way toooooo small) and have new dearies from our lil study group. HAHA. Love those days in study group because we were all so keen – we basically studied in the library every single freaking day even when it was 40+ degrees. I had to wake up early, dragged myself out of my comfy bed, and then force myself out in the constant heat FML and then take stupid bus ride to city. And study with a bunch of crazy women. It was all worth it though. Never thought I can get along so crazily with girls so much younger hahahah. But the weight I gained is SERIOUSLY not good – we basically McD everyday cause that’s the one and only thing opened near city west library. Yea we, well correction, I always crash UniSA’s library. Seriously their library is sooooo packed and the last thing they need really is an outsider taking up more space lol.

I think I’ve learnt a lot this year. Though it hasn’t all been great, but I believe everything happens for a reason and things could always be worse. So farewell 2009 – to a better, greater, more wonderful and fruitful 2010, to life ^^ My dear friends, no matter how 2009 has been for you guys, I wished for you guys nothing but the best in 2010. May you all be happy cause that’s the most important in life =)

Update:

*Linkies*

Art 1: There is a common conception of adult orthodontic braces being used to straighten teeth but many of us do not actually understand the amount of care required in maintaining them. Adult orthodontic braces care is important as it is also a crucial part of treatment, as much as teeth straightening.

Art 2: There are many of us, especially older teenagers and adults who are concerned with the way our teeth looked. And yet, we cannot really do much about those unsightly crooked teeth because we do not want to be seen wearing orthodontic braces at an old age. This can be said as one of the biggest factor hindering adults from seeking orthodontic treatment, simply because orthodontic braces can be more unpleasant looking than their existing crooked teeth.

Art 3: As in-office bleaching or professional tooth whitening costs increase, many people are turning to cheaper and more affordable alternatives to achieve a whiter smile. Though in-office tooth whitening have a higher success rate, many people swear by home tooth whitening and claim that it is just as effective in removing yellow stains.

==End of update==

These are the times where I have completely forgotten I have a blog. Ze is life. I think it has finally come to a point where blogging is dying on me. Me thinks it’s Facebook’s fault. I update everything there nowadays be it status, photos, videos etc etc and etc making it kinda pointless regurgitating stuff here again. I wonder when will be my next entry. I shall make this a long one then.

First of all, a very delayed announcement that should have been done ages ago, I passed fourth freaking year. OMFG *jumps happily around the room* *delayed response* I was really really really happy, even till now, I still remain extremely grateful. Didn’t get extremely good results but I don’t care. A pass is all I want and in the end I got a tiny weeny bit more so who am I to complain heheheheheheheh. I am so so so relieved. I’m now a final year student! Fifth freaking year, here I come woohoooo!!

And holiday has been great so far. I have been doing a lot of eating (make that A HUGEEEEE LOT FML) and some shopping. Been on a cruise recently and all I did was eat, eat and eat. I swear my pants were real tight on the day I got back. Sigh. I hate food. Why must it look so good? Why must it be so fattening? Why must my heart call out to any food I seeeee?????!!! Note to self: need to be longer vegetarian once I get back to Adel. I wonder how long it’ll take T________________T Badminton anyone??

Shopping has been so so good! Been to two separate Jusco member days sale and omfg, there’s so many people and everyone bought like they don’t have to pay a single cent. Those aunties damn scary I tell you. The trolleys were mountain high and the store was turned to a half night market style with people shouting promotions and discounts every second -.- But overall, good buy =)

Other than that, been to couple of movies. Watched “Love Happens” and it was sooooooo saddening. Cried like crazy in the cinema. So damn embarassing. If I knew it’s going to be this sad, I won’t go watch it in public ffs. Like “My Sister’s Keeper”, I will never ever everrrr watch it with anyone but myself. I swear I’ll like cry my eye balls out with that one. Even the trailer was so heart breaking =( I hate sad movies – they really always make me cry.

Also been to karaoke a few times, plan to go more heheheheh. It’s like so damn cheap over in Malaysia. Adelaide’s karaoke is really overpriced neh. Went with Chian the other day and it only costs us each 12 bucks with free drinks and one small snack meal. We sang for 4 hours and we could have stayed longer if we want to. We didn’t even manage to fully utilised all 4 hours. At least 2 hours was probably used to camwhore and gossip haha. Girls are always girls.

Neway, this shuould be long enough to last till whenever. Hopefully will update soon. Happy Dong Zi (Winter Solstice) festive everyone! And Merry Christmas in advance ^^. Buh byeeee!~~

Finally heading home tomorrow despite exam results haven’t been released. It SHOULD HAVE BEEN released by now. But yea, due to ‘unforeseen curcumstances’ (officially my new fave word) the results are delayed till next week. FML. Oh well. Can only cross my fingers and toes that I passed everything. Found out I pass another lil subject hehehehe. No more pharmacology OMFG I’m so glad. Pharmacology is like soooooo sucky. I pity you Chian. Totally know how you feel!!! Anyway, glad that I managed to pass that cause was quite worried. I wasn’t initially but got influenced fairly easily by other people. Started to freak me out and the next minute I was like OMFG OMFG what if I failed pharm? So yea, now that the air is cleared, I can finally breathe in slightly better. There’s still a few other results that weren’t released but I ain’t too worried about those so HOPEFULLY that’s enough to get me through to fifth year. I really really reallyyyy want to graduate on time and without supps. Cause supps are way too scary, I rather get it over and done with the first time round. I HATE WAITING. Sigh.

Oh I’ve been living a rather hard life lately – eating vegetarian for a week. Don’t ask me why, but I promised to do it and like I broke it without realising. Fail man. It was my fourth day I think and I tried so freaking hard to stay away from meat and I managed to hold it off till dinner, I’d completely forgotten bout it and realised only after I ate some chicken. DAMN IT. I’m so scared of karma – don’t wanna fail my exams cause of this, so yea, I started all over again. And now’s my fifth day. Hopefully I’ll get through cause being vegetarian really sucks. Meat is like the best thing in the whoel wide world, I cannot live without my meatttttttt!

On another note, I am supposed to be really angry at the school for delaying our results like that, making my delayed flight sort of worthless cause I purposely booked my ticket after the results are supposedly released. Didn’t happened so kinda make my wait seems stupid. SIGH. So unlucky. But I did have lots of fun these two weeks post exam, really really stress releasing so yea, the time was really well spent. Cannot believe it’s already time to go back home. For some weird reason, I’m actually missing Adelaide. Yala, I’m not gone yet but I can already feel kinda gloomy, but obviously excitement of going home is much greater. Must be the weather getting to me. As I passed by Victoria square just now, the well lit christmas tree is tooooooo pretty, then the warm fuzzy feeling just pops out of nowhere and then I started missing Adelaide wtfish. Oh well. I’ll be back next year so it’s ok lol. Alright, been rambling so randomly. My next post will be when I’m back in Malaysia yippeeeeeeeee. Hope people who are going home have safe flights and to those who are staying – have fun yea! Merry Christmas in advance everyone!

Exams are done and yet I have no intention to return to blogging. Until some annoying person keep pestering me to blog. Not the first time leh Viv. Everytime also like tht. You think I blog solely for your entertainment is it? Siao zhar bor. She’s like occupied with her game, and yet can still ask me to blog. Again. And again. I told her to pester Xyn instead. But fail. Lol. SMART PUNYA XYN. Anyway. So yea. Exams were horrible as predicted. but I felt so proud that I got through them. Haven’t got my results back yet though – fingers crossed that I pass everything. Found out that I pass one lil sub. Yay! Other than that, been doing nothing. Hmmm. Actually, been doing lots of partying. Not that I’m proud of them. Really I’m not. Hahaha. I am not a party animal OK. But it was fun to party after the amount of stress I had lol. It was definitely GOOD. And it was extra entertaining seeing other people getting really smashed. I think that was the best part. Music, dancing and drinking aside. Had to look after some friends or FRIEND in particular. Haha. Cuteness. No seriously. Damn cute when they’re drunk. But it’s quite scary at the same time la. Lol. Ok. I don’t know what to say anymore cause none of the contents from that night can be made public. Lol. And my screen is like stretched so damn wide it seemed like I wrote so little. SIEN. What else is there. Erm. I don’t know man. Hopefully this is enough to get Viv off my back for a while =P

This is probably the most inactive I’ve ever been during SWOVAC. Does that mean I am procrastinating less and studying more? Lol. I hope yes, but chances are the time used to been spent on blogging is spend instead on Facebook nowadays. I really thought of deactivating my FB acc man. Oh well. Just cannot do it. Feel very disconnected ya know. Anyway. Exams are kicking off tomorrow and will be brutal there after so don’t think I’ll update till maybe 20th cause by then, I would have finished 6 exams with one more oral exam left. And I have a few days for that so I’m not worried. So wish me luck guys and to everyone with exams, massive good luck because God knows we REALLY REALLY REALLY need it. Can’t wait till all this is over =)
