JERANTUT!!!

Yup, am here starting my 2nd year as a dental officer!! As of now everything has been smooth and awesome!!! I thank God for placing a good friend here and good officers around.. Because currently I am loving EVERYTHING here!!!
God is truly awesome and all things are done according to a bigger and better plan for me, His plan.. Hehe..

There are some down side to being posted here but hey, the good outweighed the bad so… Woohoo!!!! Will update again once I get settled down more to see beyond the rose coloured glass.. Hahaha…

Last few baby steps!!

2 more months of and I’ll grow up into a –hopefully fully competent- permanent officer!! So scary.. Don’t know where they will post me to, praying it won’t be too bad.. But how time flies!! Can still remember clearly how I was so worried b4 I started work. And *poof*, it’s nearing the end.. Thank God for everything.. Truly feels blessed the whole time… Will miss Kuantan real soon.. The people I’ve known and grown so attached to… Oh, am feeling sad already just talking about it..

Updates soon on my whereabouts!! Ciaoz!!

Updates again

So yes!!! Am at my last specialist posting at Resto and I’d have to say being in Kuantan has its own perks!! Love every postings!! Really learnt so much and the ppl are all so so nice and such a joy to work with!! Hehe.. Really will miss every1 soon…

With this being my last posting, the last few months of my FYDO-ship would be spent in OPs… Next up, district posting!! *Dread dread* O Lord, help me!! Hehehehe….

Updates!

I just finished my 2nd round of on call!! This time it was all done by purely me-the lone ranger in action!! Kinda proud of myself.. Now to pass Tuesday’s review of the patients… Hehe.. All in all, it was good, I didn’t have long cases nor cases in the wee hours of the night so I’m thankful enough!! Hope my last round of on call would be this safe and peaceful too… Hehehehe…

   And I’m done with OS, peads, perio postings!!! Time truly flies!! Had great fun all the same.. Now am chilling out at Oral Medicine & Oral Pathology posting… Next up Ortho, Resto and then outpatients all over again… Pls pls pls pls pls let me go to a good district soon too!! Lol…

P.S.
Twas’ not to happen,
the change of tide,
which was not meant to be,
at least, not yet, not now..
God in control, ppl!! Good plans, never to harm us!!

It WILL be a GOOD Friday this week!!

     I need positive support for Friday, ppl!!! I’m having my very first on call duty in hospital this weekend starting from Friday to Sunday, so am praying hard there’ll be no tough cases and there’ll be few patients only!! Secondly, I’ll be submitting my leave application form on Friday too for CNY so praying that my boss will approve it easily… hehe…

     Also, I’m in dire need for money this month and the next month!! Lol.. Kinda overdid my spending which is bad since my next salary is one month away on the 25th of February.. O Lord, help me!! And I need to pay my house rent on Friday, pay for lunch for the whole clinic’s staff on Thurs which is around say, RM120? and have dinner with all dental officers in Kuantan in a hotel that night which’ll cost me RM60 plus gifts and all… And this is just for the next three day when I’m supposed to not use any money for the next three WEEKS… GREAT, just great….  Oh wells, CNY is just around the corner so… =p

Will update about my on call soon!! Hoping for no news which is good news!!!

Working dentist alert!

     Have started working in the dental clinic in Kuantan, Pahang for almost a month and will be posted to hospital next month for pedo attachment already.. As of now, I’m loving almost every single second of my working life!!! Hopefully I can still boast of this 2 way love next year at this time..   Pahang, pls treat me well… Hehe…

     And, as I am now officially a working adult, I’ll have to fork out money to pay the bills, rents, loans etc etc by myself.. Which is such a normal, adult thing to do so I guess I’m still a kid.. Hehe.. Though my parents are so unbelievingly awesome and am paying almost all my bills, I feel extremely bad.. Like why are they still supporting me when I am already working?? Sigh… Salary oh salary, when will thou drop into my bank account? My hands itch for you, my heart yearns for you and my neck longs for you literally!! Lol…

     Pray for me to stay great and to have wonderful friends, colleagues, patients, seniors and specialists around to help me alright? *Gasp, that sounds like such an extensive list!!*

Officially kicked out to society!

     Last Saturday has been a joyous day as our batch graduated as one big happy family of dentists!! Woohoo!! 5 years of hard work boils down to this ONE day for ONE scroll for ONE lifetime!! That is one crazy important piece of paper I tell you! But then no regrets and hopefully totally worth my efforts when I start working!!!
                                         Apparently the whole lists of graduands were listed in major national newspapers!!
    Don’t we all look so happy and cute?? Lol… Am missing everyone already… Will update post on where I’m sent to work soon. Current quote of the day is: “May my time of government stint not be met with crocodiles or monkeys.”

Full fledge dentist now!!

Whee!!! This post is late to say the least since the results were out like 2 weeks ago but I was on a sleep-eat-watch-drama-series-movies-play-read VERY “busy” schedule that I’m posting this up only now… So yes, yay, I’m a dentist now!!! Greet me starting with Dr. soon… Hahaha… XD Just kidding… Still can’t believe 5 years has gone by, just like that… I can remember clearly still how it felt like 5 years ago and thinking how the end seems so long and so in the distance….. and here I am now… Doctor yet not a doctor yet…. Hehehe…
And yes, I really do miss university much!! Though I meant more of the schedule, the patients, food, FRIENDS especially, but NOT exams…. Hehehe… Really miss the fun times together… Nvm, will spend some holiday time with certain friends soon… =p

 

Dentistry at its best… The guys fixing a broken cabinet with hardened dental putty… Talk about creativity… LOL!!

But it didn’t last long… The putty I mean, not their creativity… Hahaha… Really miss the funny things we do sometimes….

The amount of birthday cards, wishes, postcards, notes and others that will help me remember the good times and even greater friendships made along the way during our 5 years journeys… Missing them already….

It’s okay… I’m sure this will not be the end!! Let’s see who I’ll work with soon!! Till then, this would be what I’ll look at during my break in KL before my career takes off!! Ciao!!

AIMST BDS Batch 3

I’ve finally finished the last battle with BDS!!!! And our class being our class went out to celebrate… This being when the results are not even out yet… LOL…. And we celebrated THRICE as such… haha… Batch 3 power….

1st celebration-Penang movie and food

Next stop- class dinner with lecturers

3rd celebration and I’m sure to be continued still at Chez Weng, Penang..

What can I say?? We, Batch 3-ers study hard and play even harder!! Go Batch 3!! I’d surely miss everyone…. So much love and memories together…. *sob sob*

Now when would the result be out…. . . . =p

The reason I love my job!

     I just wanted to say how grateful I am that I am so blessed in my clinical sessions!! Yes, I WAS quite slow in my quotas for Year 3 and 4 but hey, somehow I’ve finished early in Year 5! Thank God, I feel like I'm witnessing a miracle in action.. Hehe.. (not forgetting, thank you, Gerv for starting off my endo quota and for helping me end my pedo quota… will buy you a gift soon!!! =p)

     Next, I want to show off by saying how the patients that I have mostly are so kind, compliant and nice in coming again and again faithfully for their dental treatments.. And I mean it when I said nice since one of my patient travels from Perak weekly for treatment…. So thankful I wanna cry… This patient THEN gave me this to thank me for my good job… I’m supposed to thank her, not the other way round!! But yes, I kinda did quite a good job on her… LOL…. Undeserved love I tell you....

Feel real bad taking this from her.... It's an engraved pen k?? So kind of her..

     And then there’s my patient who gave me ang pows even when I’ve already finished treatment on him, who gave me one bagful of fresh organic vegetables from his garden, one patient who gave me 叉烧， 烧肉， one patient who gave me fruits whenever she comes, another who brings breakfast for me knowing I skip it sometimes etc etc etc.. AND then there are those who keep asking me to go out with them so that they can pay for my meal.... Sometimes, just a simple thank you from them is like many bells ringing from heaven to us, and my patient overdo it by showing me their gratitude with gifts and gestures.... I am so BLESSED, what more could I say?? My patients are so kind really.... Truly these are the people who formed the reason why I will continue to serve in the dental field and push on no matter what comes my way... I truly thank them for making me feel so loved.. oh-gosh-so-thankful-I-wanna-cry-again... Lol... Once more, thank you everyone!!! (patients, good lecturers, close friends and beloved family members are ALL included in making my dental student life so wonderful and enjoyable!!!)

PS Hmm, is this one way that says.... "I am MADE to be a dentist"?? Hahaha.... Just kidding, I think my sincerity in treating my patients and my AWESOME communication skills (or as my friend puts it, my super-geng persuasion skills) added much brilliant marks in clinics!! ROFL... Yes, it's bragging but hey, a gal has some rights to make herself feel good sometimes right?? righhhhhht?? RIGGGGGGHHHHHHHHTTTTTT??!!!! LOL!! Till next time, adios!!

Nearing the BDS finish line..

  Remembered posting this photo in my previous post entitled ‘Final bend’.. Now that I’m speeding past that bend, I can see the finish line just right ahead!!!

Optimistic mode!!! I’m going to finish this real soon!!!

     Anyway, where should I request for my 2 years posting?? KL-though it’s almost impossible to get?? Melaka-which is nearest to KL and is hard to get too?? Pahang- where my relatives and close friend are and is also hard to get?? Kedah-though it’s scary since I know the specialist here?? Or should I just give up and fill in Sabah or Sarawak?? Lol… Am thinking on going “eenie, meenie, miny, moe” soon… And tomorrow is the SPA/ KKM joint interview… Argh.. so scary…. I’d have to don on a baju kurung and TRY to converse in Bahasa Melayu the best that I can.. I hope I look smart and sound smart to the interviewers.. Best yet, I hope I AM smart in front of them.. Oh, the horror if I stammer or faint in front of them!! LOL… Pray and wish me all the best!!!

     On another more personal note, I can’t seem to stay unaffected anymore. I think it’s time I hide inside my fortress and ignore my surroundings again. Lock news and gossips out as I successfully did for the past few years… LOL… Sounds pathetic yet safely so…. What with clinical quotas going on and our clinics coming to an end, ppl are getting more and more desperate and tend to start thinking only of themselves. Which is fine if they don’t step on my toe but….they did.. Argh.. Really hate that.. Especially since they made innocent bystanders get hurt in their line of fire, no, not innocent bystanders, those I’m referring to are more of a law enforcer/ emergency medical team member/ fire-fighter role who sacrifices for others…. If you read this, I hope you know who you are and how grateful I am to you… But then, come to think of it… I might thread on other ppl’s toes accidentally or with intent so…. Sigh…. It’s such a cruel give and take world!! I really hope all this end soon and we can all graduate smoothly and lay by the beach of somewhere exotic as a WHOLE class going on our trip together!!! 

Dental dinner 2012-Renaissance

     First of all, a big shout out to daddy, mummy and XH!!!!! Love you guys so much!!! They came all the way up here to prepare me for dinner and left…just like that… I mean, the journey to and fro takes about 8 hours, the petrol and toll fees take around RM 150-200?? And the time we can spend together is just say 2-3 hours?? yet they made the trip up north anyways…… oh, such love felt… Hehe….

     And for the first time, I ate a hearty lunch before dinner!!! While some of the girls were starving to fit into their dresses, I was busy eating up.. So yes,my tummy did bulge out in my dress later but hey, if I don’t care, so shouldn’t you!! Just act like you saw nothing la k?? Lol…

Lunch- SP‘s famous 铁饭碗… At 细九…

Pre-dental dinner photos…

Well, had a great time enjoying my last dental dinner as a dental student.. Hopefully, next time around I’d be coming as an alumni!! Woohoo!!

Final bend…

     It’s gonna be a hectic run to the finish line!! Grant me superhuman strength, stamina, wisdom and power!!! And the power to stop/slow time!!! Lol… Am gonna miss SP soon.. It’s being developed at such a fast pace that I’m jealous of my future juniors… I mean, they’ll be getting so many new malls so near them that… hmm… maybe it’s not such a good thing for their studies after all… Hahaha….

     Was told by Dr. Marzuki that future dental graduates are mostly-and I mean mostly, 90%-ish mostly-gonna be posted to Sabah and Sarawak this time.. Sigh.. And there I was, thinking so hard on where to apply for… Sighs again.. Oh wells, if it is so, so be it!! Just pray that I’ll be surrounded by many many good friends there then!!

My last family trip to Melaka!!

One of the things I’ll surely miss from SP-cheap and nice food… This packet of sweet potato and fried banana fritters-yeah yeah, I know they’re unhealthy food etc etc but hey, they’re nice!!! Lol….- costs only RM 1!! It’s so cheap k??
