Ok, i didn't really blog for sometime. Kinda running out of things to write already.
Well, i must really say that the wind is really strong these few days. I kinda like it. it definitely beats having a humid weather. But well, it'll be even better if it is sunny too. But hmmm. kinda hard to get hor?
But well, wednesday is my morpho test. Somehow, i can't really remember so many things. really kinda a lot of details to remember and i have no idea how the test is, since i've not taken a single dental exam before. But yeah, i shall try harder la.
Kinda weird that i'm not stressed about it at all. I wonder why. Things and mentality really changes once i step into uni. No longer as stressed... taken a back seat. I mean, definitely a significant change for me la. I wonder if i can still keep up with my results and maintain good results.
Sometimes i do wonder, if i really want it that much. Somehow, the passion for dentistry seems to have died down a little. I wonder why, is it because of my company, or the workload, or is it that it was an illusion all these while.
Oh my.. the latter can't be true. But yeah. i shall work hard, make sure i graduate with good results and be a good dentist. I will definitely not be like some who come in for the money. I will be a true healthcare professional and make sure i help the needed and not charge more than is required. Who cares if i'm really charging so little, i mean, helping shouldn't come with a price and well, the amount of work we do and the money we get is kinda not balanced.
I will not be a money minded dentist.
Something meaningful from the bible. I'm not a christian by the way.
The doctor treats the sick, not the healthy.
Similiarly, i think that all the more a doctor should treat to help, not to get paid. It distorts the whole idea of being a healthcare professional. Sadly, there are people like that around.

Peace for the 5 dragon-boaters
Somehow, i felt very affected by the news of the 5 dragon boaters.
Though i personally don't know a single one of them, i felt the grieve of losing 5 such wonderful people. Tears just roll down uncontrollably when i read the news and how their kin broke down upon recieving the news. I wonder why does such a thing have to happen to them when they are at their peak, when they are young and vibrant, when they still have so many dreams and goals which they've not fulfilled.
But it is in these hard times, that i do see how people within the nation comes together and grieve for them, how it seems like the whole incident has brought everyone closer together, how the incident has made many of us more appreciative of the people and things around us and most importantly, makes us realise that life is REALLY precious.
Anything can happen anytime, when things happens, we may not be prepared for it. I suppose that's why many learn to cherish things only after they're gone, and feel the ache.
That is also when all the "what if" appears.
I suppose it's not really usual for people in our society to express our gratitude to the people around us, to tell them how special they are and what difference they have made in our lives. It's the mentality of " Pai Seh" that deter us from doing that often, i suppose.
But well, i really want to thank all of you, for being a part of my life, for walking with me all these while.
To the 5 victims, Jeremy Goh, Loh Soon Ann, Reuben Kee, Chee Wei Cheng and Poh Boon San, thank you for training so hard and bringing glory to our country.
I wish you peace.
P.S: as promised: i shall change my blog settings to 7 entries each week for my friends to see what has happened so far. After which i will resume back to 1 entry settings. :) Weekly ah, for the benefit of those who can only view it on weekends. :)
