Facebook curfew

On Wednesday the YM quietly put a notice on the office table

'excessive use of facebook at work affects performance'

so facebook access is only allowed during lunch break(1-2pm) and after work (5-7pm)

thanks to the solicitous public

bloody 'ell!

3 S

hate to say this
it's just my second day of work but already i'm sick of not having much to do
not that i am a workaholic, it's just that i cant stand watching the time crawl at snail's pace
please
either keep me busy like bees from 8 to 5
or let me sleep in , chill at home
Never in-betweens

yeah..i din go to 5 yr dental school for nothing...so stop making me feel i'm some unwanted incompetent loser
be it extraction, filling, rct, crown, denture, surgical or splint..just bring it on!!

grrrrr....
anyway
now everyday i wake up wishing i'm equipped with the 3 key qualities to thrive in outpatient
aka 3 S - speed, spot diagnosis and split second decision!

Master of none

During the usual after-dinner family chit chat

Mom : Oiii...you need to start practising your BM now. Or else, how are you going to communicate with your patients and colleagues??

Me : Like... how?

Mom : Speak to us in BM from now on.

Me : ...............

Mom : okay okay...at least, learn some dental terminology in BM. That should be helpful.

Me : There are so many jargons in dentistry.Where should i start?? ( excuse )

Mom : Pretending i'm your patient and I dun understand things like plaque, calculus, RCT etc How would you explain to me in BM??

Me : (pondering) haih.....plaque is plaq la, benda yg lembut dan putih/kuning tu, lekat pd gigi; then calculus is ...err...batu gigi?! Rct ..hmm...err..i dun think i'll be doing that in hospital.

Mom : Batu gigi???hahahahaha

Bro : OMG..this is the first time i've heard of that!!! Dr, apa lu cakap?Wa tak faham!

Me : batu gigi is calculus la! It's the calcified plaque on the teeth, hard like stone.

Bro : I know it's as hard as a rock but please, we don't translate it to BM so directly. We call it karang gigi, doink! See, i dun need to go to dental school to know this!

Me : (teeth clenching) since you're so smart, then tell me what is bridge, crown, overdenture, post and core, braces in BM?

Bro : Of coz, i dunno. Do you??

Me : ................

Bro : (shaking head) Ma, i think...drill her driving first lah. One at a time. It's ok to be dumb at work but she definitely needs to know how to get to the hospital in one piece.


Boohoooo!

Hide n Seek

My family was tired of me grizzling about getting fat and noshing nonstop
so they came up with a solution
that is ....hide the snacks!
they keep some in their workplace and some in their cars, just to make sure the food is unreachable by me esp when i am all alone at home
well, that is not to say i'm not allowed to snack at all
i do get my treat day every now and then (in fact, almost every day)
but in a controlled amount (up to mom to decide)
so what's left in the house is nothing but raw food and dried stuff which i'll never touch
the downside of their idea is that
if they forget to leave a portion of edibles for me before they're off to work i'll be starved until they come home
what i usually do to tame my 'under-sweet blood' is sleep
yea..HIBERNATE - that's how animals survive through the winter months

Unfortunately, my hunger pangs overpower today
so i decide to search high and low for f-o-o-d
after 1 hour of rummage TA-DA! i declare VICTORY!!
my smart mother hid a bag of chocolate bars in her wardrobe!
muahahahaha
obviously, they didn't do enough to keep me out of it
what can i say?

try harder, mom :P


winner takes all :D:D


Oh no, i'm so fat!

A New Chapter In Life

so here i am
bracing myself for a new beginning

some ask Dun you miss London?
it's a lie if i say no
weather, people, culture, fashion, cafes, public transport, high street shopping....
there are 101 reasons to stay in London
so why not, you ask

there is something missing in London
something i never realised, has been my priority in life
cant believe my egocentric side is only a disguise
underlyingly, what the heart yearns for is no different from what every child wants

so i made my choice
promised that i'd stop looking back
there is only so much i can run away
life is too short to dwell on the past
come what may, i'll survive...Noo, i'll flourish!

so here i am
looking to a brand new ME!
