2011 comes to an end..

Yes, it’s that time of the year every year where I celebrate birthday, 冬至, Christmas and New Year holiday-package-combo in just almost a week. Ain’t it fun? This time around I didn’t get to spend it with my usual group of ppl. But I thank Gerviene, Shih Lin, Rachel, Youming and Soo Huan for spending my b’day with me. It was MUCH better than spending it all cooped up in my room alone…most probably sleeping or watching shows… Lol… And my presents… Hehe… I totally love all the sincere cards and practical gifts for me. I think I’m at that age where I get all sentimental receiving written wishes and blessings... Lol.. Few years from now, I’ll probably get all mushy and cry looking at my gifts… And further down the road…..

Hahahaha…. I can almost imagine this progressive evolvement change…. LOL!!!

On another note, this was our fully DIY gift box for Youming!!! Everything, the gift contents inside, our b’day card, and the box was handmade!! Inside out!! SO proud!!! Looks oh-so-fine doesn’t it?? And yes, to prove the authenticity of our creativity and sincerity, you can see one part without the wrapper. Haha… Sign of it being genuine. And her gift?? Weighs by the kilogram. Lol… What is it you ask?? Well…. That shall be a funny memory and secret for Rachel and I…

I’m real blessed!

     I’d have to admit first that I had quite a huge number of missed dental appointments for the last 2 years, but this year had been good. The previous 2 years wasn’t bad too though. I had so many nice and kind patients. Patients who appreciate what you’ve done for them, patients who are responsible and comes on time knowing how it helps us help them, patients who treat me as their child/ grandchild. I’ve had patients bringing me tens of fruits each time she comes, I’ve had patients bringing me kuih in the morning knowing I oversleep and skips breakfast sometimes, that same patient giving me ang pow for CNY, fresh vegetables from the garden, and even paid for a meal out. I’ve had patient who thank me so many times I feel embarrassed for not doing a better or faster work for them (not to say my job was slow or sloppy, or not to my best ability. I ALWAYS give my patient excellent dental service. Hehe.)

    My patient today is was (still is??)a dental phobic. Scared of needles, scared of the sound of drills, scared of the overhead light, scared of too much water in the mouth. But when I told her how she was much better with the drillings and the needle and everything today, she said, “ Well, coz I trust in you a lot, and you’re an awesome dentist.” Wow. Talk about being sweet! Even when I gave an inferior alveolar nerve block which she said is scarily painful the last time she had it and closed her eyes, tight, anticipating the pain, it ended with her not feeling pain at all. Hehe. Not that my technique was better but she trusts me more I think. So proud of myself.Nerd smile

    So yes, I am truly grateful for all the nice patients I had, and those currently under my care. It was a real memorable journey thus far and I shall push forth with my best foot forward (my left I think..hahaha…) until I become a Dr and even further down the path of life!! I am truly a blessed gal!!

PS Sorry aikmunn, I had patients that you wished you had. Hehe. (Whoops, sorry for the hehe…)

Oh yeah, as an after note, these were pasted along the corridors by our changing rooms in the dental building. Real nice isn’t it?? I hope all kids would know now how dentists are not so scary as they think and that we’re normal, nice ppl too!! Lol…
