i juz saw a nice quote on friendship tt day.
It goes like this - I value the friend who for me find time on the calender. But i cherish the friend who for me do not consult the calender.

How true i realised..It's really really rare to find friends like this. Anywae, discussed this wif janie a few days ago. She told me she realised that as we get older, friendship changes. The thoughts we have on friendship and the kind of friends we make. Even the friends that we have made in secondary school, that have developed over the many years, are also different. I feel that as we age, as we grow older each day, the number of best friends we have are decreasing. Also in primary sch, our favourite phrase used to be 'i dun friend you already!'..haha i tynk it's relly quite farni..

Anywae, i juz watched rvco's first concert zhiyin, the one which i performed. I only watched the last 3 songs, which were our syf songs and the finale song which included all the alumni members. It's relly relly great man..i din realise i was so handsome last time..hahaha jkjk..but yar..the atmosphere and everything was great..the only thing tt lacked was pple shouting and cheering mi name on stage. Tt would have been absolutely perfect man! haha

Went to watch rvco concert zhiyin III wif janie and yiqi yesterday and i've gotta say tt it's nice seeing all mi juniors again. Not only that, i also managed to talk to some of mi relly relly old seniors like those 3 years older? haha and there're mi juniors hu also have graduated from rvco..quite a heart-warming feeling to see all mi old frens..

And the last song tt they played in the concert, which was the song tt belonged to mi generation when we performed in syf. That song juz brings back so many memories..the shanghai trip, the numerous rehearsals, and of course the loss to dunman high during the finals. Well, the loss was justified given tt dunman high's song was also superbly nice but still, it was agonising..Juz felt glad tt i can get to hear this fantastic song again!

Was discussing wif janie and relly, we had similar thoughts. The co doesn't belong to us anymore. It seems so foreign ( i knoe i am stating the obvious but bear wif mi ). Actually, after this batch of sec4s graduate, i would not know anyone from rvco anymore..tt's how sad and when tt happens, then we would relly relly have become a part of the history of rvco. I guess all seniors would have gone tt path before; coming to terms with being a part of history isn't relly very nice.

At least i had fun yesterday playing wif mi cute and irritating sec4 juniors! Gosh! sec4 and still so playful and naughty..yanrong and pearleen especially...luckily i had 2 guai juniors in agnes and siqi! Took many fun and spastic pictures wif janie being the lead spastic actress in most of them..relly..i shld publish an 8R size photo and put it under ur void deck or sth..hahahahahahaha!!

And i also talked to mi cousin kathleen! oh my! she suddenly grew up and became so demure!! hahaha i can't believe it man! Had a chat wif her last nite at 2am and i tynk tt her engine already run out in sch todae..Well, she's an immense talent and obviously we share similar views on a no. of issues! At least we're lotr fans man! haha

And todae i went for mi first ever ever ever ever ever munual driving lesson!! WOW man!! it's so great and wonderful and fantastic to be in the driving seat! So so so so so so so so fun man!! haha and i tynk i'm relly a born driver, immensely filled wif talent and the instructor asked mi if i ever drove illegally b4 because i was juz sooooooooooo good! Transition from gear to gear was piece of cake. However i do have a weakness--getting a car to move from a stationary position. Somehow, i tynk i still not good enough since mi car can only start moving after 5 seconds..hmmm...but dun worry..mi talent would soon rise above tt!

Relly had 2 great days! Can't wait to get mi driving lisence man..which is another step forward to being the most eligible bachelor..haha bae yong jun u watch out! haha

haha! tynk i had quite a fun and eventful day todae! After mi attachment at faith dental surgery this morning, i decided to go do some volunteer work at a family centre near janie's house during the late afternoon...so in the meantime, i went to pay a few of mi frens a visit!

First on the list was peichun the shorty hu was mi rv classmate for 4 years! Remarkably, she appeared to have grown taller than 2 years ago which was quite appalling because i haf always tot tt gers do not grow any taller since sec3..haha but well, she still as cute as ever and u better honour ur word and ask mi out to play tennis soon man...

Next was boon cheng! haha the unhappy-ger-hu-is-working-in-giordano-but-has-since-professed-her-desire-to-quit-since-early-jan...haha wanted to give her a surprise initially but it was she hu spotted mi first and well, we juz chatted a bit..poor thing lar she...haf to work in tt kinda lousy place...

After this 2 visitations i rushed to the family centre only to be 'chased away' by an indian volunteer..ok lar, he told mi tt i gotta register wif the hr manager in their hq which was 10min walk away! And when i reached hq, the hr manager was having a meeting and wouldn't be out..so i juz left mi no. and proceeded to tiong bahru plaza..went to visit mi fren peiyuan, whom i got to knoe during mi short stint in nuh, who was working in Q & M dental surgery opposite tb plaza!

It was a pity tt she was assisting when i went to look for her, so i juz filled in an employment form for Q & M, trying mi luck but tynk most prob i wun get the job coz i'm a MALE..so i juz talked to the receptionist for a while and she was really friendly! So i headed back to tb plaza where i bought the vcd for kung fu hustle and hung around till 6+ when i went back to look for peiyuan..haha talked to her and showed her mi pictures and juz had some fun lar! Soon the receptionist joined us and even she claimed tt she relly want to have a male colleague ( obviously mi ) !!!

HAHAHA i can't believe tt i still haven't lost mi charm and i'm relly like bae yong jun...an AUNTY KILLER! hahahaha gosh! tt sounds farni! I tynk i relly have the megawatt smile of bae yongjun and further more..i have something he lacks...i'm bogay too...HAHAHA crap but relly had fun toking to the both of them lar..haha after tt went over to janie's house to have a look at her 2 new hamsters, named kiasu and kiasee...tsktsk...like hamsters like owner...

Ok tt's the end of mi day and relly..the highlight gotta be how charming i am man...soon, i'm gonna be the most eligible bachelor alive! so ladies...pls queue up...no fighting pls...

wow wow wow!! I juz came home from the national stadium after witnessing the crowning of Singapore as tiger cup champions!! It's relly an honor to be in the national stadium along wif 55000 fans and it was relly relly a sell-out as mi liangfa and serhwee almost couldn't get a seat after we reached a few min b4 the match started..Luckily, i had eagle eyes tt spotted a few seats and they were quite spacious too!!

The fans were fantastic man, totally behind the lions, cheering, doing the kallang wave, and even the jeering..it's kinda farni at times. Was relly ecstatic when singapore got the 2 goal lead at half time..i relly feel tt they deserved it. They dominated in the first half and was extremely hardworking. Of course wad i liked bout the team is the defense and the keeper. They were superb man. Even the regional experts also indicated tt the singapore defense and keeper was the best in the tournament. Wasn't a surprise tt lionel lewis, hu was the singapore custodian, was named the MVP ( most valuable player ) in the whole tournament. Felt a sense of national pride.

But it was relly farni when we were jeering the referee coz he was rather biased against us in the second half and well, every fan shared tt sentiment. During the award presentation, when the emcee asked the team of referees to go on stage to receive a token, the fans relly boo-ed them like anything man..haha it was so farni tt i juz burst out laughing..haha And of course hu can forget the idiotic myanmar team hu was so violent, wif their reserved goalkeeper throwing a water bottle at our defender..When they were called up to receive the 4th placing award, they were also boo-ed totally man..Not even a single fan was clapping for them..

Such atmosphere man..i relly enjoyed the atmosphere alot..After tha match, many bikers were juz honking the cheering rhythm..I relly tynk that the Lions did relly well and were fantastic man..They've won mi over totally...haha

shiok shiok shiok man! This week has been absolutely fantastic so far! Caught phantom of the opera wif peiyuan and well, i juz gotta admit tt i love musicals man! I love the songs, the glitzy screenshots and the majestic scenes, so beautiful man! And for the first time in so long i was actually the one hu arrived first..haha becoming more and more punctual...

Yesterday went to sch to play badminton wif zixu after getting our very own rackets! The badminton session sure brought back the Mugging days when we would take frequent breaks from all the insane mugging and play for many many hours wif slavedriver too..

Finally got mi basic theory evaluation for driving done and todae i kinda shocked the instructor. After i registered for mi evaluation, i immediately started doing and juz when the instructor finish taking attendance and registering the trainees, i went up to him and he tot tt mi computer have problem. I told him i've passed the evaluation and his jaw literally dropped..and then more latecomers came in and he was like saying,' so super ar? cannot be do so fast lar.' He then checked the time in and said,' only 4min and u done wif the 50 questions?' Being the HUMBLE mi, i juz smiled at him...well can't blame mi, i'm a genius afterall..

And now for mi dental attachment, i guess the dentist relly had a veh good opinion of mi, coz i'm always punctual! Unbelievable rite? Especially yesterday, i was supposed to reach the clinic at 8am and i was late and rather worried and when i arrived, i saw tt the clinic only opened at 9am..so i'm damn early..sat down and had breakfast..And when the gates opened, i was the first one inside! Great rite? And yesterday i took many great photos, including one veh decayed tooth tt was extracted...And todae when i went, the dentist asked mi if i wanted to assist her todae and i almost shrieked wif joy man!!

I proceeded to wear the surgical gown and started to learn the trade of a dental apprentice..well, apprentice sounded nicer than assistant =) But i tynk her patients quite poor thing todae, coz i tynk i din relly did well wif the suction tube and vacuum which was supposed to remove excess water in the mouth and as a result, during the drilling when water is splashing out, most of her patients' faces became wet..=x

I relly tynk God is relly good to mi coz firstly, he gave mi this attachment. Then it is a christian clinic! And thirdly he answered mi prayers which was for mi to be a dental apprentice! For those hu knoe, no other guys in singapore will ever get to enjoy mi privilege coz guys can never be dental assistants for many many reasons! So it's relly relly relly a fantastic day dun u all tynk? =)=)=)

yea! mi mum is relly great man! she managed to convince one of her ex student's parents, both of whom are dentists tt are practising privately, to let me attach to their clinic!! haha well, tt attachment means tt i will have no pay but well, at least i can gain the attachment tt i so wanted and it's a step towards fulfilling mi ambition! haha this will also mean that mi afternoons are officially gone and well mornings would be reserved for driving practical lessons soon...so well..only evening are free..not much difference from pple working office hours! haha hope these few days would be great!

had a pleasant surprise on the way home todae and i realised tt pple will miss some things more than they tot they do..haha oh well, dun tynk i'm making much sense.

went to sign up for driving todae and i must say tt agnes is a real toot. hahaha...tootheaded ger..but quite cute lar..firstly..although she has a direct bus frrom her home which is 187, she insisted on taking the train since she did not knoe where to stop and resulting in her walking for more than 10mins from the mrt station to the drivingcentre..haha i was like laughing to miself when i was on mi way there in the bus..

So we signed up and realised tt we needed passport size photos and luckily i have mine in mi wallet at all times while agnes had to take photo there. During the photo shoot, whenever the photographer ask her to smile more, then she'll go into a moment of laughing and giggling madness and will cover her mouth wif her hand and fidget around...and soon, because of all the time spent trying to get her to smile more and at the same time not to smile too much, there was a long queue outside..hahaha goondu man...

And then after the briefing, we had to activate our account and book our course dates..and she complained tt she dunnoe how to use the system there etc..haha goondu goondu goondu! haha anywae..i was rather amused by her lar..kept mi spirits up the whole day and i can't help smiling to miself whenever i tynk of her goondu ways todae..anywae..thx for accompanying mi! =)

hmm..gonna tok bout this 2 days tt i had..yesterday was mi last official day of attachment wif the faculty of dentistry at nuh..and i must say tt it's indeed one of the most wonderful experiences tt i ever had. Of course there were more observations, this time of crowns , bridges and of course root canal..well...now i knoe wad mi dentist used to do to mi..and of course todae i witness many many extractions and i tell u..the biggest challenge for mi would be to overcome mi fear of injections and extractions..

Anywae, there's a special case todae where a patient requested lingual treatment from the orthodontist hu happened to be mi orthodontist's ex classmate in nus..well, he's a veh helpful and a veh veh nice guy..so anywae, he let us see the lingual treatment..basically, lingual is braces tt is put at the underside of the teeth..i guess pple dun want others to see the ugly braces on the front side of the teeth..but i tot having metal on ur teeth is a current trend among pple!

I must say tt Dr Ong, the orthodontist treating the patient was veh veh veh professional and relly he's damn good..haha i mean his skills are relly..wow man! And because of the lingual treatment, the doctor's schedule was delayed and the nurse went off at 5.30pm and the doctor had 1 last patient..so mi and pei yuan being bhb, asked the doctor if we can help him and he was like abit apprehensive at first coz he's afraid tt yue4 bang1 yue4 mang2 u knoe? so i juz verbally said all tt an assistant needed to do like disinfect everything, prepare a new set of tools, clear the old set, prepare the modules for the braces etc...and to others it's boring but somehow i found the experience refreshing and exciting..

And tt was the end..no more attachment and no more fun..so well, i decided to go look for dental assistant job today and i was relly discouraged. There's a veh apparent gender discrimination tt totally irks mi..Male doctors only want to look for female assistants, and female doctors also only looking for female assistants..i dunnoe wad's wrong wif a male being a dental assistant man..it's juz so irritating..

And todae i had to swallow mi pride, and wait outside the dental clinic for an hour plus till the clinic was closing coz the dentist was veh veh busy wif patients..even though the receptionist had told mi tt they were only looking for females, i still chose to wait and try to convince the dentist. I felt tt when it came to being the job, it's not the money tt matter but the passion involved. I juz got so much passion for the job tt i was willing to like take veh veh little pay..i was hoping tt the dentist would consider mi lar..But hu knoes, she din even game mi a chance to tok and came out and started shooting at mi like she only want females and i dun fit tt qualifications and even asked if it satisfied mi to knoe tt she not gonna employ mi..

Man..i can't believe i actually swallowed mi pride and wait for this kinda woman man..I dun understand y issit so unfair tt there's gender discrimination tt is attempting to stop mi from fulfilling mi ambition of being a dentist..all i want is to learn something and do something tt i have passion in and those idiotic stupid dentists are not even giving mi a chance..i dunnoe wad made them so screwed up because the dental students in NUS were so helpful and compared to these idiotic pple, they're worlds apart. Sucks..they must have been so screwed by stress and money tt their passion is not to serve pple anymore but to serve the very thing called MONEY. Idiots..

todae when most are still asleep, i'm already up by 6am...argh..coz of mi mum lar! she tot i was late and kept trying to wake mi up and as a result; i din even haf 4 hours of sleep lar! was rather grumpy but yet looking forward to mi dental attachment at NUH!!

Reached there at like 7.45am when mi attachment starts at 8.15am all thanks to mi dear mum hu made mi punctual man..haha went there and soon another ger by the name of pei yuan from acjc joined mi..well, quite nice toking to her and sharing bout our jc lives, our cca and wad ignited our interest in dentistry and i am relly amazed by her portfolio of attachments man..she had a few days attachment in a dental clinic in thailand and a 1 week attachment at ndc this year..wow! relly nice man..

Anywae, we spent the morning observing the final year students treating their patients and i'm rather impressed because they relly seem veh confident of wad they haf to do and stuff already and it's relly veh impressive. There's paedodontics which is dentistry involving children. The doctor in charge of all the students is juz sooo good wif children man tt i haf to hand it to her..she managed to coo and coax and praise and juz say lotsa niceties to a little ger and tt little ger was juz so cute..but my my...children nowadays are getting tooth decay at a veh veh young age...

There's restorative dentistry which i tynk will be one of mi most challenging since it involves the making of dentures and it's relly veh veh difficult because the angle of the dentures and the degree and the habits of the wearer play alot of part in how the dentures are made..and of course the dentures are hand made by the students, and pple like mi hu hates art since young and can't relly do work wif mi hands is sooooo relly gonna be in trouble man..we went on to tok to the other students there and they were all veh helpful and tried to explain as much as they can to us...nice pple man..

One of the students did something tt even the professor-in-charge felt was a veh difficult job. His patient was a malay patient hu cracked her tooth relly badly..and this student, first time in his life facing such a case, started to build her tooth using some kinda polymer material tt even matches her current teeth colour and relly..it was so beautifully constructed tt i am relly relly speechless..it's too nice and it was even nicer than her tooth originally b4 it cracked...

ok enough ranting bout the quality of students there...oh yar..btw, the students there have a fixed quota on a number of patients to treat in their final 2 years and guess wad..they haf to find their own patients man..wow..relly hard man..

Had lunch after tt and there it was observation of doctors hu have graduated and they were relly veh pro though the session was not as fun and interactive as the morning session. Saw extractions, orthodontics, scaling of the teeth polishing, root canal etc and now i knoe wad they did to mi teeth when i was in primary sch man..and of course wad they used to probe mi tooth when i was on the root canal treatment..wow man wow!! i'm juz so fascinated by the world of dentistry minus the mugging part..i mean the practical part and hands on sessions are juz so fun and so challenging!! i can't wait man..i relly can't wait!!

Day two tml!! hope i will do well man! hai..to bad it's only a 2 day attachment..hope i relly enjoy miself loads tml!! =)
