love my daddy

this is my daddy's last week in melb before he heads back to Sg. *sighhh* i know i'm going to miss him plenty, even though i've been really mean to him many times during this trip. =(
stress is getting the better of me, that i can't control how i treat those around me. (oh and i realised that i DO clench my teeth when i'm sleeping recently. it is definitely THE sign of stress. =// i need to make an occlusal splint for myself soon)


i'm already used to having Dad in my apartment, waiting for me to come home and cook my meals. such a nice, warm feeling.


sometimes u know that you shouldn't take things for granted, but u still do. =(

week 6 of uni

ended clinic at 5 sharp, surprisingly. it was total craziness cause i had to rush out a restoration on tooth 28 for my patient (and i had to take 2 radiographs as well). and that tooth was damn difficult to work on. hard to access with the handpieces, can't see cause its right at the back, plus lots of saliva pooling over that area. it was my first occlusal restoration on a real patient and i wanted to do it properly. but, it was just so tough. my demonstrator was really encouraging though i bet she could tell that i was disoriented. but i guess the final result was alright after all that struggling. i'll improve with experience, i hope (:

(oh and i did my first LA injection on a real patient as well! wheee. okay i know this is lame, but its a historic moment for me right??)

i was having lunch with my 2 closest dental friends this afternoon and we were saying how stress makes us super grumpy. and we are particularly grumpy towards our parents. like when we talk to them over the phone, we'll just sound very pissed even though they didn't piss us off. we just can't help it.. it just comes out of us like that (if u get what i mean). this is so sad :( i really need to learn how to control my emotions better and stop being so self-centred.

week 5 of 3rd year

getting really busy with assignments/preparation for clinics/readings for lectures to be done. and as expected, i'm having less free time to slack and chill as the stress is building up. going to yarra valley and healesville for a weekend getaway with my dad ( who is arriving in melb this sat). hopefully everything (preclinic and clinic) will go smoothly on friday so that i can take my mind off work and enjoy myself during the weekend.

clinics are getting more exciting as cases get more interesting and as we progress into treatment planning and the actual treatment process itself.

LEONA, YOU CAN DO IT! :D

Psalm 56:3-4 3
When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise— in God I trust and am not afraid.
