STUDY study study study. I think that I think more of needing to study than actually doing the process itself.. At the rate I am going, I am going to F-a-I-l... RIGHT smack in my face.. and then .. what happens??
I am a gonnER.Full stop.
Says to self.. I need to study. MUST STUDY. have to study. i love to study. Why I want to study? So, i dun kill my patients not that any patients died on the dental chair.
Sorry, as u can see, I'm a bit loopy.. quite moody too..

The Road Home
He strolled along the quiet path, kicking the pebbles as he went along. He was fully absorbed with his thoughts that he did not pause to admire the blissful scenery around him.Regrets of the past swirled around his mind.
Suddenly,he heard a soft "plonk". He looked towards his left and saw the huge, glassy lake of which one of the pebbles he had kicked had fallen in.
He approached the lake and stared into it.
He was shocked!Though he looked smart in his expensive suit, he could see the wrinkles on his forehead which was a result from all the stress he has gone through. As he gazed on, he realized that not only did his appearance changed but his heart as well.
He felt like an entirely different person and he couldn't recognize himself anymore. His heart was filled with sorrow.
If only, he could find a signboard pointing to the right direction, the RIGHT direction home. He longed for a life full of joy, satisfaction with no regrets.
"I am ready to leave the past and live in the present," he said aloud.

A day in Jun Ai's eyes
Today, at last, after 12 hours,after 4 PATIENT DTL sessions of trying to bend wires, I FINALLY managed to bend the Y-clasp. It isn't perfect but I am satisfied that at least I am not such a loser after all.
One down... 3 more to go.. hopefully in less than 36 hours!
Today, the first lady told me that at the rate I am going, I will never see any patients. Maybe, she is right? But, then again, I really don't mind being slow, BECAUSE I know deep down, I CAN DO IT. And I won't touch a patient till I AM SURE MY PATIENT WOULD GET OUT THE CHAIR WITH A SMILE!
Today, I got lectured by Prof Toh, scold here scold there. And I got stuck at my Zinc oxide eugenol temporary dressing for 2 hours at the rubber dam and squiveland band stage. But as the session drew to the end, I managed to finish my dressing with the help of Joshua and Paige. Prof Toh tidied up my work abit and then she said, "Good effort".
I was speechless.Seriously. I just kept QUIET!
Really appreaciate the motivation.
Lesson for today: to be EXTRA EXTRA Neat, to place back instruments at the RIGHT position after using no matter HOW slow I am.
Being organized is important.
And ya, you just read a normal day in my dental life.
Huge struggle. I never knew anything could be this hard.

"I am not to be blamed!" says Third molar
If you had braces when you were younger, LIKE I DID, and if you have lower anterior crowding LIKE I DO now (sad),
it is not due to your erupting third molars or commonly known as wisdom teeth!
Then, who is the nasty culprit?
1. Growth of your maxilla ceases earlier than growth of your mandible. Because of overbite, your lower anterior teeth cannot move forward to the extend of the lower jaw growth but tilt lingually to a smaller circumference which results in crowding.
2. The maturation of soft tissues during teenage period may increase the pressure from lips, causing crowding.
3. More forward drift takes place in the lower dentition than the upper which increases crowding.
Ref: MOSBY'S ORTHODONTIC REVIEW by Jeryl D. English
I am yet to know what's the correct time to have braces on since "late or secondary crowding" happens in the late teens and early 20's. But for now, I wished my orthodontist had INSISTED that I make new retainers as years goes by and wear them to keep my perfectly aligned teeth THEN.
Now, I have to wait for my friends/ someone nice to align my teeth for me again (at a cheap price)!
