random

i know this is really random but well, i was meddling with my printer for the past 1 hour. was getting really frustrated cause it kept saying "no paper fed Tray 1". there's no paper jams and i loaded sufficient paper correctly. and i needed to print my notes so badly.

and i just prayed that it'll work, somehow.

and guess what, it did :)

Thank God :)

my sis is going to take her first test in her Masters course today. wish her all the best! :) love u sis!

p.s. Jo! glad to hear from u! jiayou for your last sem! :D look forward to graduation!

on a saturday morning,

i'm feeling good,

cause I skyped with my family for 3+ hours last night (cause i couldn't sleep!) and I didn't have to set my alarm and able to wake up naturally this morning, knowing that the past four weeks of intensive period are finally over (or more imptly the endo test is over, but fyi i didn't do as well as i wanted, cause i managed my time really poorly).

nothing much to worry at the moment, though some of my patients are giving me a bit of headache in terms of planning their treatment (and praying hard that i can get a pt booked in next week morning session).

planning my holidays during winter (80% chances that i'm not going back to sg then - haha this keeps changing though). its kind of my last winter to travel around since 5th year winter is going to be filled with rotations and other stuff.

:)

reflections

been unable to focus on doing my readings (fixed pros is just too dry and endo isn't that interesting too). maybe i'm still in the holiday mood. or maybe there are just too many distractions.

today's sermon topic was interesting - why should we live life to the fullest?
and it got me thinking,

thinking,

and thinking.

Jeremy lin's videos are just flooding my fb newsfeed. and i started watching the videos. One of it is an interview of him and his mum. it really got me. found out that he's such a God-loving christian. it got me a bit emotional, cause whatever he says is so true.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm, plans to give you a hope and a future. Then you will call upon and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart (Jeremiah 29:11-13, NIV).

Praise the Lord:)

FOCUS.

i couldn't sleep last night, cause i was sick (yes how ironic, since its the time that i need rest the most), or rather i fell asleep while playing games on my iPhone at 9pm and then i woke up at 12midnight. and then i couldn't sleep anymore. it was so torturing. and so i called my sis and we spoke over the phone for nearly 1 hr (1 hour only, cause she was tired).. and i was nearly wide awake till 5am. and i had my alarm set at 7am, just because i wanted to pre-read my stuff for my endo pre clinic which starts at 9am.
became excited about my sis's trip to melb in april during easter, after talking to her on the phone. there's so many food places that i want to bring her too. i admit, i'm a foodie.

endo preclinic was not that good. cause of our demonstrator who was so critical of everything. yes i know being critical is good thing, cause we will aim to meet the higher standards.. yes yes, its all for our own good, and i accept that, and i'm learning to accept criticism. but the thing is, it really puts your morale down and excuse me, i'm only doing root canal on the second tooth in my whole life. give me a break.
and the fact that different demos have different way of doing things so they give u comments which are like contradicting each other. and we can't argue and tell the demo that "the other demo said that.." cause sometimes they will mark u down. so annoying.

sigh, life's not easy :( but i'm trying to accept things as they are, and stop whining about every single thing that i can whine about.

=D

sick =X

got a bad runny nose.. i had mucus collecting my mask during GP clinic just now. omg, so gross.

saw a very old patient just now, and her son accompanies her everywhere she goes (for dental appts and other stuff). so heartwarming. :')

and back to being sick. i need to survive tmr. got preclinical (at the new awesome building) at 8am and then my day ends at.. 9.30pm. i win.

back to uni.

super busy. =S
and it's only the 4th day of the semester and it feels like 4 weeks have passed. i'm serious.
9 am - 5pm every single day, sometimes my day ends at 6.30. and my first emergency duty is next tues (will be in the hospital till 9.30pm).
so many preclinicals, clinicals, lectures and admin stuff to do. have to book patients in for appts, check if appointments are cancelled, and call patients to remind them to come for their appts etc. omg really. i feel like a receptionist. but thank God that things are working out (even though it takes a lot of effort, its worth it)!

but, i slack a lot when i'm home, cause i'm too lazy/tired to do anything after a long day. so many lectures to catch up on =x
