I'm Back In Body, Not Heart

I am just too lazy, there is a thousand a 1 thing that i shd do but i still did not. A very good example is to find a new back ground for my blog since the pics are no longer in existence. Well.. I'm too lazy. Thats just a good excuse to use.

Anyways, I love being back home, I love my bed, my room, my com and of course the only reason I have decided to come back and not hide somewhere in US so that I can stay there forever is the ppl that I love.

Still in my dream world, wondering if the next time i go back, I'll be going back for my post-grad studies, I certainly hope so. 2 more days b4 school starts. there are so many things at hand to settle. Finding patients, studying for tests, and etc etc, tonnes of labwork waiting for me to do.. Well, we just have to takes each thing at a time i figured. no point thinking of all the labwork to be done when i am comfortable at home right. let me worry abt it when i step into Lab 4.

I do not fear school, not anymore I hope, I gonna do things at my own pace and style, I hope.
Damn, the flu medicine is making me drowsy again. maybe I shd go sleep some more.

Posting from LA

Well.. for all those who thought that the blog is officially down, sorry to disappoint you folks coz I'm back to complain.

Still about school.

I realised how ignorant i was when i was back in Singapore. All that was on my mind is to complete schedules, mug hard and get pissed when some stuffs screwed up. Things dun need to be like this. The students in Loma Linda are so relaxed. Not that they are slack, just that they know what they have to do, and they know that making mistakes is part of learning. Not afraid to question what has been taught to them by the Professors, to challenge them in thoughts and still be friends at the end of the day.

I guess its the ppl that makes our system so stressful, if everyone can adopt the same mentality and work together and learn together. The professors must also change i believe, i can never imagine having dinner, drinking booze, talking about implants (silicon not titanium) with a professor until i did it the other day.

Well.. more on the trip..
Not i can say except its great. I hope everyone who went for exchange had the same great experience we had. driving ard and getting lost is all part of the fun. mountains drives, in fact its somewhat like inital D, if we slipped, we'll go 6000 feet down into the valleys.

Driving into the desert towards a oasis seeing the most no of stars in my life. and so far 3 out of 4 of us has caught a shooting star. Clems still waiting for his.

Childhood dream fulfiled, I finally went to Disneyland, not HK not Japan but the very authentic Disneyland in LA. Universal Studio is next up on our list.

The beach is definitely one of the best in the world, clean smooth sand, that stretch beyond sight. The most impt part of it is, I swam in the Pacific Ocean. Damn cold but damn shiok.

We had a lot more fun during the trip of course there are quarrels but i'm glad we can iron things out. whats frds without fights. still have 6 more days in this wonderful place, I've almost decided to set my goal to come back her for my post grad. Although it is really tough and competitive, but if i've never tried I'll never know.

For now i hope i can enjoy the rest of my dental school and learn as much as i could and change my way too ideal mindset that i dun allow any failures. I'll fail and I'll learn. I'll be there.
