♥ Life Is Good ♥

i have been leaving my house before sunrise,
and only return home when sun is setting or already down..
i spend most of my time awake in university!
home is now like a hotel to me.. just to eat and sleep!
i really miss spending time at home!!

classes have generally been enjoyable..
breaks are some time not-so-fun..
i spend most of my break time in the library.. oh no!!!
i am learning to be a nerd.. some-what a sampat one..
my stress level is rising slowly but steadily..
as i see people around me studying like there's no tomorrow..

all seniors always mention this to us:
"but you are just in Semester 1.. relax la!"
as i see my notes piling, my Marieb and Netter's crying for me..
my friends who seem to know most things needed to know..
my parents' happy faces when they tell people i am taking Dentistry..
and pain piercing through my heart each time i see money outflow..
pressure for me to succeed continues to build up.. aiks~

yes, i believe i can do it because i want to.. GO! GO! GO!

oh btw, Student Services did not approve Leo Club formation..
there were some issues regarding IMU's policy..
and also a lot of overlapping objectives with the present clubs..
i am some how feeling relieved with the end of this chapter..
no worries, i'll return your membership fees.. lol..
so i shall now just focus on my studies and Community Service Club!

some of my classmates doing their thing..

on-going group discussion..

painting on our relaxed model..

my group mates: Alex, Kai Shang, me, Joo Yong and Eu Gene..

Prof Toh, our dean and Prof Khoo, our coordinator were present..
seen here together with Rezzuan, Fatimah, Ezwana and Jim..

Zeng painting the Jerome's face, Li Qing is looking on..

because of this, stimulated patients from Medical programme
are allowed into the Dental Clinic next time solely for this purpose!

the end-product from my group..

models united! showing off their face-painting.. =)

just a snapshot during the Student Choice Awards..
organized by SRC, voted by students from different programmes!

we took part in a Leo/Lion Club activity..
even before the club is officially formed!
pending the approval from Student Representative Council (SRC)..

our very first activity is Blind Leading the Blind Walk..
blindfolded 3km walk organized by Lions of Petaling Jaya..
meeting point? PJ Civic Centre carpark..

a lot of us woke up very early for the event..
i personally left home earlier than my usual days..
it only took 20 minutes from my home till PJ New Town..
i love it when i can cruise along the road, bravo Sunday morning!
with no cars, no traffic jams and green lights all the way! =)

meet up with the rest of our members, 16 of us to be exact!
all arriving before 7.30am, but as the usual Malaysian timing..
the event started later at around 8am..
so we met up with some Lions and did some chit chat..

not just the Leo and Lion Clubs members, the public took part too!
there were blind people, young kids, old folks and familes..

freebies for everyone after the walk.. a lot of food!

very first picture of the committee members.. =)

Joo Yong and i before the walk..

off we go!

police blocking the road.. super cool.. hehe..

no cars.. only can see people walking!

Sharon has 2 people to care for: Damien and Anson..
while Olive is under Manlo's supervision..

taking turns to be blindfolded and to lead..

participation from the public.. sporting-nya!

Joo Yong leading a "blind" me..

taking a break under the shade.. it was freaking hot and sunny!

us outside the "White House"..
cold and yummy mango juice and bottled water were served!

this is really blind leading the blind.. they held onto each other!

great job Damien! he was blindfolded for most of the 3km walk.. =)

the last 4 to arrive.. plus me, the photographer..
L-R: Joe, Zi Qin, Tung Meng and Joo Yong..
and like seriously no one was behind us.. haha..

me with my car perfumes, super absorbant cloth and magnets..
much luckier Joo Yong with her DVD player.. *all smiles*

finally, a picture of us with Lion Christopher and Leo of Taylor's..

it's seriously freaky.. i saw a lot of blood throughout the week!
not just the Blood Donation Drive..
or pricking of fingers for our practical on blood..
but dead dogs and cats along the highway! EWWW~ so gross!

no, i am not exaggerating..
i think can see their intestines too!
thankfully i won't be dealing with all these stuff in the future..
dentists only focus on the head and neck region..
that's not likely to cause any death.. hehe..

we had our wet lab practicals today on blood..
we were to prick our fingers and test our blood type..
plus view pretty cells in our blood.. =)

my lab buddies.. (L-R) "Dr" Eu Gene doing the pricking,
Kai Shang looking shocked and "terrified" patient Joo Yong..

our blood types.. now i know how this works!

drying our blood smear with the hairdryer..

my blood taken from the microscope lenses..
so pretty hor? the eosinophil is visible! =)

1, 2, 3, 4, 5.. =D

it was pretty interesting! such an eye opener..
i believe you know what i am referring to.. hehe..
if you don't, slap yourself then look at my blog post title.. =P

April is the Oral Health Month.. did you even know that?
i was totally clueless about it.. until NOW!
so just keep that in mind ok?

basically, this is a 2-day event organized by the dental students..
it was held on 8 & 9 April 2009, from 11.30am-2.30pm..
at Atrium, Ground Floor.. and our theme is JUST SMILE :)

the poster..

from the bird's eyeview.. no la, it's taken from the 3rd floor..

the back of the shirt looks like this.. nice?

we had this huge toothpaste as our station deco..

not forgetting the toothbrush as held by Li Qing.. =)

i did this entire board.. *claps claps*

another senior, who's name i can't recall.. sorry!
explaining to the visitors how to correctly brush their teeth..

the flossing game.. not that easy though!

participants are required to floss out the plague (red wax),
using a floss (wire) without injuring the gum (blue plasticine),
in 3 minutes per tooth! then they'll win prizes .. *yay*

Eldwin, ME1/09 batch rep attempting to win the game..

pretty fun and challenging game at the Aesthetic station..

we even have a performance by Sam and Arsalan..

with some of the girls from my station:
(L-R): Ruby, Joo Yong, myself and Mae Yee..
