SeReNe Lee who's not so serene after all!!

     I just wanted to say how grateful I am that I am so blessed in my clinical sessions!! Yes, I WAS quite slow in my quotas for Year 3 and 4 but hey, somehow I’ve finished early in Year 5! Thank God, I feel like I'm witnessing a miracle in action.. Hehe.. (not forgetting, thank you, Gerv for starting off my endo quota and for helping me end my pedo quota… will buy you a gift soon!!! =p)

     Next, I want to show off by saying how the patients that I have mostly are so kind, compliant and nice in coming again and again faithfully for their dental treatments.. And I mean it when I said nice since one of my patient travels from Perak weekly for treatment…. So thankful I wanna cry… This patient THEN gave me this to thank me for my good job… I’m supposed to thank her, not the other way round!! But yes, I kinda did quite a good job on her… LOL…. Undeserved love I tell you....

Feel real bad taking this from her.... It's an engraved pen k?? So kind of her..

     And then there’s my patient who gave me ang pows even when I’ve already finished treatment on him, who gave me one bagful of fresh organic vegetables from his garden, one patient who gave me 叉烧， 烧肉， one patient who gave me fruits whenever she comes, another who brings breakfast for me knowing I skip it sometimes etc etc etc.. AND then there are those who keep asking me to go out with them so that they can pay for my meal.... Sometimes, just a simple thank you from them is like many bells ringing from heaven to us, and my patient overdo it by showing me their gratitude with gifts and gestures.... I am so BLESSED, what more could I say?? My patients are so kind really.... Truly these are the people who formed the reason why I will continue to serve in the dental field and push on no matter what comes my way... I truly thank them for making me feel so loved.. oh-gosh-so-thankful-I-wanna-cry-again... Lol... Once more, thank you everyone!!! (patients, good lecturers, close friends and beloved family members are ALL included in making my dental student life so wonderful and enjoyable!!!)

PS Hmm, is this one way that says.... "I am MADE to be a dentist"?? Hahaha.... Just kidding, I think my sincerity in treating my patients and my AWESOME communication skills (or as my friend puts it, my super-geng persuasion skills) added much brilliant marks in clinics!! ROFL... Yes, it's bragging but hey, a gal has some rights to make herself feel good sometimes right?? righhhhhht?? RIGGGGGGHHHHHHHHTTTTTT??!!!! LOL!! Till next time, adios!!

  Remembered posting this photo in my previous post entitled ‘Final bend’.. Now that I’m speeding past that bend, I can see the finish line just right ahead!!!

Optimistic mode!!! I’m going to finish this real soon!!!

     Anyway, where should I request for my 2 years posting?? KL-though it’s almost impossible to get?? Melaka-which is nearest to KL and is hard to get too?? Pahang- where my relatives and close friend are and is also hard to get?? Kedah-though it’s scary since I know the specialist here?? Or should I just give up and fill in Sabah or Sarawak?? Lol… Am thinking on going “eenie, meenie, miny, moe” soon… And tomorrow is the SPA/ KKM joint interview… Argh.. so scary…. I’d have to don on a baju kurung and TRY to converse in Bahasa Melayu the best that I can.. I hope I look smart and sound smart to the interviewers.. Best yet, I hope I AM smart in front of them.. Oh, the horror if I stammer or faint in front of them!! LOL… Pray and wish me all the best!!!

     On another more personal note, I can’t seem to stay unaffected anymore. I think it’s time I hide inside my fortress and ignore my surroundings again. Lock news and gossips out as I successfully did for the past few years… LOL… Sounds pathetic yet safely so…. What with clinical quotas going on and our clinics coming to an end, ppl are getting more and more desperate and tend to start thinking only of themselves. Which is fine if they don’t step on my toe but….they did.. Argh.. Really hate that.. Especially since they made innocent bystanders get hurt in their line of fire, no, not innocent bystanders, those I’m referring to are more of a law enforcer/ emergency medical team member/ fire-fighter role who sacrifices for others…. If you read this, I hope you know who you are and how grateful I am to you… But then, come to think of it… I might thread on other ppl’s toes accidentally or with intent so…. Sigh…. It’s such a cruel give and take world!! I really hope all this end soon and we can all graduate smoothly and lay by the beach of somewhere exotic as a WHOLE class going on our trip together!!! 

     First of all, a big shout out to daddy, mummy and XH!!!!! Love you guys so much!!! They came all the way up here to prepare me for dinner and left…just like that… I mean, the journey to and fro takes about 8 hours, the petrol and toll fees take around RM 150-200?? And the time we can spend together is just say 2-3 hours?? yet they made the trip up north anyways…… oh, such love felt… Hehe….

     And for the first time, I ate a hearty lunch before dinner!!! While some of the girls were starving to fit into their dresses, I was busy eating up.. So yes,my tummy did bulge out in my dress later but hey, if I don’t care, so shouldn’t you!! Just act like you saw nothing la k?? Lol…

Lunch- SP‘s famous 铁饭碗… At 细九…

Pre-dental dinner photos…

Well, had a great time enjoying my last dental dinner as a dental student.. Hopefully, next time around I’d be coming as an alumni!! Woohoo!!

     It’s gonna be a hectic run to the finish line!! Grant me superhuman strength, stamina, wisdom and power!!! And the power to stop/slow time!!! Lol… Am gonna miss SP soon.. It’s being developed at such a fast pace that I’m jealous of my future juniors… I mean, they’ll be getting so many new malls so near them that… hmm… maybe it’s not such a good thing for their studies after all… Hahaha….

     Was told by Dr. Marzuki that future dental graduates are mostly-and I mean mostly, 90%-ish mostly-gonna be posted to Sabah and Sarawak this time.. Sigh.. And there I was, thinking so hard on where to apply for… Sighs again.. Oh wells, if it is so, so be it!! Just pray that I’ll be surrounded by many many good friends there then!!

My last family trip to Melaka!!

One of the things I’ll surely miss from SP-cheap and nice food… This packet of sweet potato and fried banana fritters-yeah yeah, I know they’re unhealthy food etc etc but hey, they’re nice!!! Lol….- costs only RM 1!! It’s so cheap k??

     Like I’ve already mentioned in my previous post, I’d LOVED to graduate soon-don’t get me wrong-but I love even MORE our current dentistry course layout. Professor Comfort is such a darling and efficient planner that our schedule is busy-

busy.like.crazy.wanna.faint.no.time.to.breathe.busy-

yet gives us some little breather at the end of the term or in some lucky weeks. Now that Saturday is also opened for clinics and some Sundays are for hospital visits, it’s on really rare occasions that we get to sleep in on weekends. Sigh, there goes my weekend time. But then I’m not complaining. It’s been a real joy studying these past few years and knowing the people that I’m close with now. Am not really a cry-baby by nature, so can’t wait to see when we graduate/ on convocation day/ on the last day of our last paper/ on the last day of our class trip whether my tear-floodgates are going to burst forth. LOL…

      Anyway, pastor shared a joke just now in church that I think is really funny. Anyone could tell me whether they heard/read/seen this anywhere??

3 persons went to play golf on a fair, sunny day. The first golfer teed off and the golf-ball flew then sank to the bottom of a pond. He then proceeded to holding his golf club above the pond water and the water parted in two. He went to where his golf ball was and hit it to the other side of the pond on the green. Moses looked back to the other two golfers and gave a small victorious smile.

The second person’s turn came up and lo and behold, he hit the golf-ball to the middle of the pond too. As the ball was half-floating and half-sinking, Jesus quickly walked on water and hit the ball over to the other side of the bank.

Next came the 3rd person’s turn. He gave one good hit to the golf ball and the ball flew all the way over the fence, out of the golf course, rolled on the highway next to the golf course, got hit by a passing truck, flew to the rooftop of a nearby house, dropped into the rain gutter of the house and down a hill into a pond. As the ball rolled down the hill, it hit a pebble and dropped on a lily-pad at the edge of the pond. As the ball is sinking, a frog came up and ate the ball up. While the frog was holding the ball in its mouth and wanting to swallow it, an eagle made its descent from the sky, swooped down and caught the frog in its claws. Soaring higher and higher in the eagle’s claws, the frog got scared and gave out a frightened shout! The golf ball in its mouth fell down fast and went straight into the hole in the golf course where the 3 persons stood. It was a hole-in-one!!!!

Moses then looked to Jesus and said while shaking his head:”It is impossible to win your father in a game of golf.”

Is that funny or what???!!!! LOL…..

     “Why does the title sound so depressing”,you say?? Well, it’s not!! I can’t wait to graduate finally and start working playing, relaxing and enjoying!! Okay, I am NOT looking forward to working at all but then, I DO want to start earning my own money and giving back to my awesome parents so…. Fine, I shall work hard….soon….*sighs* Hahaha… Pray for me to graduate smoothly and get a good state posting!! Hopefully I won’t blog from places so remote my neighbours are chimpanzees and I have to climb mountains and trees to get connected to the internet… If that’s the case, then goodbye in advance, civilization!!! I’ll resort to writing snail mails and then scan them once a year onto this blog…. Hahahahha…. Oh wells, que sera sera till then… Lol…

    Anyway, before I can start earning money for myself, I’m gratefully-yet-regretfully using my parents’ money…. a lot… Sorry!!! But I’m sure they’d LOVE for me to enjoy my last year as a dental student right?? So…..Hehehe…. I know you’d forgive me….=p

       Didn’t blog for quite some day so updating backdating on the month of February!! Celebrated Deniece’s and Qiu Ping’s b’day at Straight Quays*some Italian joint.. haha, it was THAT long ago* and Tao, Autocity respectively!! Enjoyed them REALLY much….

At Qiu Ping’s b’day. Not many photos coz we’re too busy gobbling up food.. Lol…

 






Look for the day…










The memorable thing we did that day was surrounding qp like hyenas and sang her a song… As a group… Glee-cum-flash-mob style.. She was S.H.O.C.K.E.D to say the least yet really happy… I don’t know when the video is going to be uploaded but we serenaded her till she cried… Aww….. Hehe…

    Oh wells, till next time, this would be the end of this post, bubye!!!

     Phew, as I’m writing this, I’m battling hard with sleepiness and fatigue. (Partly due to sports but mostly coz of my biorhythm getting messed up over this weekend. Not that I participated much anyways.. Our batch has forced-produced many Superman and Wonder Woman for me to be of any use.. Lol…) Why am I not sleeping and compensating? Good question!! *zzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZ….. Dozes 5 minutes after posting this* Hehe…

     Anyway, this would be my last year participating in a sports event, whether it’s a physical or mental one. When we graduate and start working, unless there’s some rivalry going on between the staffs/districts/states, otherwise I’m sure I’ll just sit still for a very very long time without joining events like this anymore.. But then, the way we compete in the future would most probably be through competitions such as “Kawasan Kerja Ter-teratur”, or “Tandas Terbersih tanpa Bau”, or “Sistem Pengfailan yang Terbaik dengan Kod Warna Tercantik” or something.. Lol.. So if it EVER gets competitive and rough, I’m gonna roll my eyes and go home laughing real hard.. And shaking my head all the way… =p

     So yes, our last year of expressing Batch 3 unity!!! I’m starting to miss everyone already….. T.T Surely someday in the future, I’ll look back through my blog posts, see these photo and think….

What was I thinking then??!!!!
Lol, just kidding!!! I’ll cherish all these moments freezed in time...

So yes, that’s all for now, till I recover and recharge, bubye!!!

PS I don’t have canggih cameras so I didn’t take and don’t remember where I grabbed the following photos from.. Do excuse me for not crediting k?? Thanks for taking them though, whoever you are!! Most probably these’ll be from NSP, Stef, Sylvia or Shih… Hehe… Thanx once again!
 







 
My last year being part of Sirens…. Oh how I’ll miss being a cheerleader..

I’m so HAPPY this whole week because it’s Chinese New Year-CNY!!!! Other than food, food, food and more food, there’s fun, fun and much more fun!!!! Okay, the downside being gaining pounds which I shall have to shed soon and being an inactive couch potato with a bigger butt…But then hey, it’s CNY!!!!! Whee!!!!!

So yes, eating out is the norm during festive holiday season but I shall dedicate this post to what my mum cooked during this period. I’m telling you it’s 10-stars standard, people!!!  So proud of her…(And also she’ll stop cooking if I don’t show some appreciation… ROFL… Just kidding!!!! She has such dedication and awesome cooking skills, and has been cooking for us since when we were young so all of my siblings n I grew to abnormal Asian height… I mean, I’m a girl and I’m taller than 5’7’’!!! Hmm…. Well, I shall ask her to write a cook-book entitled “Food for Growth..Literally!!” soon.. Any interested buyers?? I shall offer a discounted price to the 1st 10 buyers with her signatures on the cover. Is that a good deal or what??)

1st day of CNY-

Another day-




So yes, I can’t recount the times in the past others had ask my siblings and I what did my mum fed us to be so tall and healthy.. We never knew how to answer then since we just, well, ate, but now that I looked at just the pictures, hey, no wonder!!! Lol… It’s true that pictures speak a thousand words!!!

This is for you mummy, you’re the BEST among over the best!!!!
