Sick Leave

Over partying on the weekend resulted in food poisoning and a mild fever. Sigh. Major sigh. Had to miss school today. The first time in YEARS that I've missed school... the first time I've missed anything to do with dentistry. What a strange scenario.

What was weird was... I had to go through so many different procedures just to be sick. It is like a crime to be sick when studying dentistry- no matter how big or small your illness is, you need to prove that you were sick. You have to hand in medical certificate. My sickness was probably really minor, and I could probably sleep it off tonight. Protocol dictates that I must obtain a medical certificate.

Luckily Mum came back last Friday (YEAH!), and she took really good care of me today. So good to have Mummy here, love her to bits. I did manage to see a doctor and get a medical certificate; and Mum even helped me fix my curtains and cooked porridge for me. I felt so loved and cared for. This is exactly what sick people need... warmth and care from others... especially from their Mum. Teehee.

So now that I feel like I committed a crime when I just had a minor mishap, I shall be handing in my medical certificate tomorrow. Good old protocols from dental school. Everything is compulsory. I guess even dental school is OCD...

I really hope I can sleep this bad feeling off tonight.

I need to be healthy to drill tomorrow.

I will try my best, even if I'm not at my best.

What being a Dentist means to me...

Saw my first patients today.
EVER.
FIRST EVER.
EPIC.

OH MY GOD.

Probably one of the most up lifting experiences that I have ever had.
A totally indescribable experience and feeling.
They were such nice people, entirely lovely!
Absolutely loved it.
And I mean, L O V E D it.
Probably even more than dance... THAT my friends, says a lot.

I just cannot explain my thoughts about the whole experience... I think I am still slightly in the in-shock stage. I did forget a few things, (or actually, probably missed/forgotten a lot of things) but I know how to amend it in my next appointment with them. Even though it will take place all the way in late April sometime, at least now I have so much to look forward to. SO MUCH. Whoa... breath taking. Can't believe how much I would love this job. Even more than dance... even I can't really believe it entirely just yet. Maybe I should not say that now, maybe I should wait till I gather more clinical experience first. Right now though, I just want to scream at the top of my lungs-

"I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!"

Teehee... oh, what a day. Did not think it would turn out this great. Fabulous. Fantastic. Fortunate. F***ing awesome (to put it lamely). All the training did come into play- the session did not turn out too bad at all (plus, both patients were gorgeous). Very enjoyable indeed!

Hehe... just to end the post, will have some scenary photos on show. These were taken on Sunday, when I took a walk around my suburb... simply exploring its cosy old-school cottages and surroundings. A cute little old lady came up and talked to me... and we talked for one stretch of road. Fascinating lady. Totally enjoyed it. Hehe... I love my new home.

I love my job. =D

At it again...

Another soul destroying session
Been trying to stay positive
Nothing seems to be paying off.

Luck?
Not good enough?
Is there actually anything to blame?
Don't think so.

I should just get over it
and persist
Keep trying my best.

What is my best?
Is my best good enough?
Doubts start to surface, when it has been this long.

Can't help but compare my own to others
as they are all around me, going through the same thing.
Seems so easy to them.
Am I just not good enough?

Wished I was more positive
Wished I would rant less
Wished I could get a grip
Wished I...

Will stay positive. Must persist.

Progress? Maybe.
Definite feelings? Yeah.
Sigh? Totally.

Next to You- Jordin Sparks

Two 'o clock and I wish that I was sleeping
You're in my head like a song on the radio
All I know is that I got to get next to you
Yeah I got to get next to you
Sitting here turning minutes into hours
To find the nerve just to call you on the telephone
You don't know that I got to get next to you

Maybe were friends
Maybe were more
Maybe it's just my imagination
But I see you stare just a little too long
And it makes me start to wonder
So baby call me crazy
But I think you feel it too
Maybe I, Maybe I
Just got to get next to you

Voicing my thoughts exactly...

So distracted lately... thinking so much about this...

Luckily it has gotten better... and not eating my emotions away...

Has become quite a funny incident actually...

Not really holding out high hopes...

Gonna go with the flow...

If it happens, fab!

If it doesn't, then it's not meant to be.

After all, I do believe wholeheartedly in fate.

Bussing home from Dance

This is actually from 2 days ago... but the whole night just struck me as being something quite special and unexpected. I love spontaneity. =)

So the story went a little something like this...

Korean dance training took place for about 2 hours straight. Hard core training. And I mean Hard core with a capital H. A lot of fun, quite exhausting, quite hilarious, but improvements were seen. Exciting stuff!

Had to bus home from the city. At 8.30pm. Late-ish. Quite dangerous in my books. Dodgey Northbridge/Wellington bus port area. You get the picture.

Fist incident that was awesome- a crew of boys who were obviously hip hop dancers/breakers had a boom box playing a classical piano piece. Soft, echoing through the night at the empty bus port. So relaxing. Two of them started dancing- one popping and locking, the other miming. Intensely interesting. Couldn't take my eyes off of them. One of them had a good dress sense. Not sure if he was hot. Anyway. After about 5 minutes of entertainment, they were told to turn off the music by Transperth policemen. How annoying. It wasn't even a nuisance, but rather just splendid music and dancing. Grr. Totally enjoyed it nevertheless!

Next, saw about 3 cockroaches on the way back home. Just randomly running along the pathway, crossing my steps. Creepy.

As I caught the 102, I had to walk up the road to my place. On a nice, cool night like it was then, it was fantastic. Utterly fabulous. The moon was about 3/4 full and brightly lit, the starts were winking, crickets were chirping... the walk back seemed a lot longer than my jogs in the morning. Couldn't complain though. Walked pass an Italian restaurant, it had jazz music blaring softly, people's muffled mingling voices, waiters asking politely in the authentic Italian accent- "Would you like some pepper?"

Then there was home. Home sweet home. My little cottage.

What a difference day and night makes of a place so familiar. Love it.
