Many have commented that I have not been writing. I guess really have nothing significant to say that I could say here. Anyways this 3 weeks hols is rather enjoyable. Although most of the time I spent in on the coming FOC, be it for presentation, for games and canvassing. I really do find working together with my classmates very enjoyable. We are always make working together fun, Perhaps with the crap we crapped. Except for the rude doctor I've met on Friday. The whole FOC preparation has definitely been more enjoyable than I have expected myself to.
I have always been a rather individualistic person. I usually dun like to work in group even in pair. Perhaps, I am rather self-centred or I just simply like to work alone. Well.. I guess we all have to learn to work with others. I think I am not doing a fantastic jobs. Coz misunderstandings always happen becoz I rarely see others' view I guess it really voice down to my style of work. Sorry to those that I have irritated becoz of my insensitivity. I really do not mean it. I will try to work better with u guys but please try to understand.
Anyways, class gathering was quite nice. Its quite a homely gathering, its always nice to see the old faces around. Doing some catching-up with these old friends. Pot-Luck did not screw up this time round, thanks to Wayne. Too bad we did not get to kill Pinakin. Maybe some other time. Anyways got to thank Wayne for offering his place. Eugene for coming out with the idea. And everyone who brought food including myself. By the way, Shuling ur mudpie is really very nice, although I indeed got tummyache after that. U will make a good housewife.
Hopefully this entry can satisfy some of my loyal readers like Wanyi.

Holiday Again
Finally special term is over. Yet as I compared this special term to the whole of my Yr 1 life. I definitely must say that special term is a lot more interesting and related to my course. I love working in the lab and clinic. Hated lectures these days. Perhaps becoz I find it very boring and dry. And I have this tendency to get caught sleeping in lecture though I always hide myself already. Anyways its over.
Yet come to think of it. Its only the beginning. I foresee our Yr 2 life to be as such. I can't wait to learn more and be more competent as a clinician. But to do that perhaps I should stay awake more often in lecture.
Anyways, still I thank god for the hols. Needed a break. Not much plans for the hols except to rest and play. Perhaps Swim, Windsurf and watch Euro and a long awaited JC-class outing. Hopefully can have more soccer sessions, coz I'm having a soccer fever.

Unlucky Yet I Felt OK
Well, before I start my entry on how bad was my day yesterday. I must thank all who showered me with care and concern. And Kenneth for special mention in his blog. Now let me begin.
Everything started with this small infection at my lower lip, which I must clarify once again that it is definitely not Herpes or STDs or watever. Its just an infected wound due to my itchy fingers. With that, my immune system starts to collapse ard the region. Lymph nodes starts to swells and suddenly I feel pain at the TMJ area on Monday. I foolishy thought that it will just go away after a while. I was wrong. It got worse at night and I think when the clock hit 12 midnight everything took a turn for the worse. The beginning of the worst day of my life. The pain kept me up the whole night. I might have dozed off for a few minutes before the pain woke me up again. I used ice and extra strong Panadol X2. Yet, nothing seems to help.
I am determined to go through my Occulsion lesson becoz there was a clinic session. I really dun want to miss it. Not only becoz I will lag behind the class, I will make my lab partner suffer with me also. Becoz we are supposed to practise our techniques on each other. Sorry Clement to have slowed u down. But the pain was really unbearable that I decided to skip the lesson. I spent the whole morning waiting and waiting which I can understand totally becoz I did not have an appointment. I even fell asleep while waiting in Clinic 1 after I was referred from the Dental Centre to the OMS department. Anyways, at the end of the day I was given painkiller and was told that I am probably suffering from inflamation of the muscles of mastication. And nothing can be done except to take pain killers.
I happily thought that this will mark the end of my ordeal. Took the painkillers right after lunch. Within an hour or so, the pain was NOT killed instead my right eye started to swell. I am once again disfigured. Given my vanity I might have died looking in the mirror. It was a sign of drug allergy reaction. That's it, I'm screwed once again. It swell so badly that I can't even open my eye. I thought that I might be blinded. Anyways, eventually I went back to the dentist who prescribed me the medicine. She explained what's happening and prescribed me another painkiller. They even decided to take a picture of me for teaching purposes. Well, I'm fine with it.
Actually, thoughout this whole thing I dun feel very upset or anything. In fact, I feel okay. Just think that I am indeed very unlucky for the day. Probably becoz I have a good frd with me. She accompanied me to get ice for my swollen eye (Which Kopi Tiam actually charged us for it!!) and back to the clinic and to the pharmacy. Although she also wanna skip the HRM lesson.
Sorry to Wanyi and Puiling that I keep falling asleep when I was supposed to do the presentation. I think I must be the medication that I took that cause drowiness.
Oh have I not mentioned that this is not the end to my unlucky day. I was drenched on my way home. I was like, oh thanks for making the already unlucky day worse. But a phone call came and I feel immediate relief.
But somehow, I still feel quite okay. Dun feel angish or sad at all. Thanks to all my frds who SMS or called me etc. Sorry for not able to go windsurfing with u guys. Hopefully this weekend I will feel better. So much for being unlucky. Thankfully today is a better day.
