fight for this love - cheryl cole

january's coming to an end pretty pretty soon :) and sem5 is indeed a totally different one. had my first patient today, yes yes and it was just a great start to a whole new learning experience! the mind was so fully occupied on the thought of having a patient, chin nam noticed too! but anyway, it wasnt that bad as i expected. and seeing and treating one is really totally different from reading the books. like, seeing really stubborn stains disappearing after scaling was like magic to us! okay, not that we didnt know or we're stupid, but just seeing things with your own eyes, under your own care, is all totally different!!

and in one way or another, i am really thankful to have got this patient because it taught me so so much. having a hepatitis B patient got us really careful, but at the same time, really just treat the case as per normal. haha i told mom just now, and she was all in a worried tone, but yea, cross infection and everything just makes us all more careful, also serves as a reminder to always ask patients. saw a lot of stuff too, but also still learning from each other :)

i dont know but this month just went by pretty fast! like i still havent settled on the thought of having to transfer to partner school, still thinking whether i have made a 100% right decision to put this uni into my first choice, havent really prepared my mind for this whole dentistry thing that is hopefully gonna carry us far into life, the thought of leaving, the thought of embracing LDR, being competent enough and many many more la. really too much thought but duno where to start, and i still have school work to do :( :(

just need a cheesecake to cheer me up right now :)
