New post, Tai Zi Heen review

Use to have this gastronomical dream of being a food blogger when I started this blog. Then it became a funny mishmash of random posts and now it's a hodgepodge of sorts.

For it to be a food blog, I lack the food;
for it to be a fashion blog, I lack the patience to have ootd and potd uploaded frequently;
for it to be a thinking and sophisticated blog, I lack the flow of eloquence.
Basically it just means I lack the conviction and discipline to make this a one minded blog.
So you're left with.... me being me here... Hehe...

On another totally different note, went to eat at Tai Zi Heen yesterday. Heard all about it being one of the top 5 halal dim sum establishments in KL. Was so hyped up and excited over the experience of trying a new place that I actually glided over to the place. To give them credit, Pullman Hotel KL looks pretty nice inside, which was to be expected as after all, it is a 4 stars hotel. The same couldn't be said for their parking lot though, it looks dirty and dark, a place where monsters lurk at night... *brrrr* And the parking rate was RM7 flat rate if you dine in.

They have a choice of about 45 dishes separated into different categories of appetizers(cold dish), hot from the wok, fried dim sums, steamed dim sums, and desserts. At first glance, it wasn't that much of a choice but hey, quality over quantity right? But nope. TZH failed in both aspect. Don't know whether it's because we're like the acting connoisseur of food or it is really due to the big letdown by TZH. The dim sum tasted like things made using instant or canned/tinned ingredients, with the flour or starch more overpowering than the meat used. Have tasted much better ones at normal dim sum joints not even in hotel. The only thing I likes was the stir fried chicken. Yup. At a dim sum place, that dish was the saving feature.Am usually not that cruel with reviews yet TZH really dealt us a real blow.  We didn't order repeat of any of the dish. That would be how I'd describe this place. No second chance.

Demolding~

Gosh, it has been so long since I updated this blog. It is full with cobwebs and dust and mold and mushrooms now.. Haha.. Not that it was a ritual or routine or even important but hey.. It was a place where I ranted and complained.. (Which I’m still doing as the workload is getting way too paper for my liking… ) Gone were the days where I was joking most of the time and finding simple laughter in small stuffs. Nowadays I’m mostly grumbling… Lol… I. MUST. NOT. COMPLAIN…… so much…. It will be a difficult uphill task, mind you. But one I will try to succeed in! I hope! Try, try and try again!!

However I am ever thankful for the great people I met here in this laid back town. Each and every one of them made everything here all sunny and cheery. Will make saying bye to this place real hard. But then since things are starting to change, it is now high time to start the farewell process. Let my next destination, next step be according to Your plan!! Let’s go~

2014-halfway point

2014 has been a good year to me thus far. There are changes to be seen and anticipated, of course, but I truly am very grateful to have a blessed year up till now. Not much changes has happened in the past 6 months but it will escalate soon enough… For the best, hopefully… For now, all I can say is… Let’s see how it goes? Hehe…

2014 updates!

Yes yes, I know it is already February but hey, in all fairness, I’m a Chinese and it is STILL Chinese New Year so, yay!! I am right on track!! Hehehe…

    Can’t believe I started work on Monday when most others are still enjoying, celebrating and partying.. Oh wells, I had fun too in clinics unbelievably… Hope it’ll last for a long long time, this love for my job and the patients.. One day it will surely lose its shine and I will be demotivated, but hopefully when I look back, I will remember my first love of being a dentist… Somehow I have a feeling I will continue to be this happy-go-lucky girl right to the end though… Hehe, there you have it, my neverending optimism!!

    Anyway, it’s been a long while since I posted a photo so here goes, one on my Bali trip last week!!! Whee~ Happy New Year everybody!! *Fine, a happy CHINESE new year… sheesh, you ppl are sure specific and petty, hehehehe*

Till next post, bye!!

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!!!

Kuantan

     After rambling on and on and on about how good Kuantan has been treating me thus far, the time has come for the unveiling of the disadvantage of staying here…

Flood..

     Thank God I went back KL on Monday for Christmas celebration so I didn’t experience  first hand the extent of it but gathering from news reports and videos of it thanks to the new IT era, the flood was bad. My rental house took the brunt of it till ankle level.. Few streets down the road a landslide occurred and the housing area next to mine had water till waist high level.. Luckily my belongings are all on the second floor and really I thank God it wasn’t worse.

     Nowadays just the sight of rain makes me shudder and pray that no flood will happen again.. And it is NOT helping that it has been raining non stop these days… And I meant non stop as in raining for two days straight then stopping for a breather and continue raining again.. I think Mr. Rain is having a marathon or had a bet with Mr. Cloud/ Mr. Thunder to see who can last longer… *please lose on purpose please please please* Lol…

     But really, it’s scary thinking about washing the whole house again… Yup, my concern is THAT small, not about the losing of lives, properties or what nots but the aftermath of it involving lots of scrubbing, mopping, sweeping, spraying of lots and lots of water in my small humble home.. I thank God for my family who was so nice in coming up to help me with it otherwise I’d be truly in a sorry state… Hence I guess that’s why God blessed their efforts by letting me buy them good dinner with my 1st pay with KKM!! Whee!!!  

So yes, I’m done with my pediatric posting so next up, periodontic!!!

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.”

Updates

After my last post on finally, wonderfully, successfully, ultimately, happily…. *you get the drift* becoming a dentist, I’ve not updated this blog for quite some time. Reason being I’m too busy…enjoying life to the fullest… Bwahaha…. So yes, just a quick update with pictures and I’m done!! At least this way you’ll know why I am MIA for the time being!! So yup, till we meet again, bye bye!!

PS For jealous people out there reading this post, fret not, this happy time of mine won’t last for long.. Soon I’d be busy working so life would be fair all over again k?? =p

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!!
