A tribute to dentists...
Warning: excessive gore ahead, not advisable for kids age 16 and below.
Well, if anyone of you were recommended to the dentistry department of NUS to be treated by the students there, before u make any decisions, pls read the following...
I was due for treatment today, and also, i'll be doing my friend Chun Kiat a big favour for being his patient which he will be presenting a case study on for grading his work.
As usual, i needn't wait very long before it was my turn...
We hit it off well, tied down things to Wayang while he do his explanations to me, and of course, one being an Officer and diver in NS, most things needn't be said, impromtu will handle it...
As expected, the grader felt no flaws to the presentation, and Chun proceeded with the practical part, and the unexpected arrived...
Dig! Scrap! Ouch!Ouch!
Juices and blood were splurting onto my googles!!! Hey! Who said it was gonna get messy here!?!?!?
As Chun mat tries to clear me of my calculus that has been there since june 2003(my last visit to the dentist), inadvertently flipping my gums inside out in order to do all the hard scrapping on the walls of my teeth. Due to inflammation of the gums caused by the plague and calculus, or in other words, gingivitis, my gums bleed like hell!!!
YES!!! HELL!!!
Chun could see me grimacing in pain with each stroke of his and he was in a kind favour, asked me whether i was alright... ya, i was... welllll, maybe until i go into convulsion before dying from excessive loss of blood? haha... kidding la... But seriously, how many of us actually stopped brushing our teeth whenever we encounter bleeding gums? Or even, how many of us still keep up the good habit of brushing our teeth?
I do confess to being one of the above, a backslider... haha... and now i have to suffer the retribution from my "act of convenience"...
And guess how long my whole ordeal lasted? 2 long hours!!!
The pain i felt, i just have to numb it with my very own anaesthesia, the power of self-talk...
I've always tell people whenever they caught me with any injuries, most of them self-inflicted in the most silly fashion, that "Pain is just a state of mind, if u dun think it exist, it wun exist..."
haha... well, i think i perfected that skill thru this "experiment" cause i'm still alive!!! Mwahahaha!!!
Anyway, at the end of it all, it felt really worth it.Even by comparing the duration of service, usually when we want to polish or scale our teeth, commercial dentists can whip us up in like half an hour? But over here, just a simple task can take 2 hours!!! But seriously, i've never felt my teeth so clean before, concluding my suspicions that student dentists do provide a much thorough service than commercial ones, because they need a good grade right?? hahaha gotcha! But it really felt so good that i wouldn't get tired of running my tongue along the smooth surface of my teeth all day long... And with all the explanations done by Chun Kiat on how to maintain my teeth, i couldn't feel much happier with the service. Good Job Chun!!! haha...
And before i end off, any takers for Chun's treatment feel free to contact me hor? I guarantee u service #1 ah!!! haha...
So now... Which junk food am i gonna sink my teeth into...?!?!?
After my experience today, i sincerely hope all of us will give a tribute to all the dentists and dentists-to-be out there.

Darn, anybody heard of California fitness club?
Of course right?
And everybody thinks that gay people frequents this place where they could catch big bulging muscular men in tights...
haha... crap...
personally, i went there ALONE to debunk this myth, all THANKS to jiahong who bailed out at the last minute... grrr...
I was entertained by this well-mannered caucasian who looks strangely out of place due to his bulging tummy, ya, who says everybody over there keeps fit?
he showed me around, yeah, mesmerised by all the different types of training machines, and the faclities and views as u work out are simply awesome... Working out will never be the same again...
This free one month membership is just the thing for me, have been procrastinating on keeping fit, until my body fat percentage increased from 12% in NS till 16.7%!!!! Darn!!!! Been having too much yummy stuff and not taking care of them liao haha...
Anyway, had a rather rigorous workout there, and the babes came in throngs after office hours... had quite an eyeful yeah....hehe, not just guys hor...
Plus they have various courses such as pilates, dance, boxercise, yoga and even hiphop, which u can join any time...
my muscles are very sore now, gonna carry on tomorrow...
Time to get my fitness back!

Wah, the irritating GP-like effective com paper is final over!!!!
Yess!!!
Hmmm... looks like can blog more liao haha...
And guess what? Finally managed to beat Kian Guan in Outrun 2 once today...
hehe, are u reading this? haha, no champion can remain on top everyday one, but u r really good at it dude...
Enough crap liao...
holidays are here and wat are all of us gonna do?
tours?
work?
Life so sian right?
not studying then have to work...
not touring can only play computer...
wat else?
anyway, tried a method to cool down today, dunno if it will work for u but here goes...
" Take a deep breath
hold it there
hold it
hold it right there
hold it there again
hold it there once more
hold it there one last time
And..... blow...."
How? actually how it works is suppose to cut off oxygen to your brain for some time, make u feel high enough to forget all your anger? Cool?
dots........................
hahaha... ok la, got something more meaningful la...
This is from my blue book:
"People with no control over their anger or emotions are not in control of themselves!"
So remember guys,
when things are no going right for you,
when unexpected situations hit u straight in the nose,
when everyone seems to be picking on you or dun give a damn about u,
perform my remedy and feel good before u commit more crimes on innocent people who dunno that you are having a bad day...
I would rather fix myself up than hurt other people...
thats all folks...
stay tune...

With singapore's service industry under fire and under maintain, it should be reasonable that we as singaporeans lower our own standards to accomodate the lack in expertise in those that service us, so that they could have the chance to turn over a new leaf and not succumb to the pressure to change... Sadly, this is just a naive view on my part...
and recently, i've decided to take this considerations back...
Holidays are coming real soon and i'm dying to look for jobs to support my own living, and wah la, when u flip to section 651 of RECRUIT, u see lots of adverts looking for students to take up odd jobs... no doubt its hard work but they do actually pay well, for 12 hours thru the night, u could actually earn 120 dollars! Thats a good deal, considering if u just have to turn ur life upside down for a week, u could actually live comfortably for a month...
And so i called up this company...
me>"Hi, r u looking to employ people to do factory..."
I was cut abruptly...
Her>"R u singaporean?"
Me>"Yes"
Her>"How old?"
Me>"21"
Her>"Ok, as advertise on the newspaper u see for urself.Job very simple, manual labor."
Me>"Oh ok, anyway, i could only work for a week like that cos..."
kana cut again...
Her>*Sneer*"You might as well stay home and sleep!Waste my time only!"
kana slam phone...
Me>"....."
I was like WTF!!!!???!?!?!
Nevermind, i cool down and called another job agency....
Me>"Hi, r u looking to employ people to do factory work?"
Him>"Yes. May i know ur age?"
Me>"21"
Him>"Where do u live?"
Me>"Bukit Panjang."
Him>"You finished NS?"
Me>"Ya, i'm currently studying in NTU now..."
cuts me off...
Him>"Oh ok, we dun need u..."
phone dead again...
WTF!?!?!?!
Kana ram wall twice in a row, wat the hell....
sianz...
I really give up hope on these people liao, not worth my time man, good thing already found an internship at a logistic and shipping company liao, else really LPPL liao...
haha...
Idiot lor, dunno wat the hell is wrong with these people man, wait till they have a taste of their own medicine then they cry father cry mother... haiz... but nevertheless, i will still not hold a grudge and a bias view against people in the service industry, cos there are still kind souls out these who will really put out just to make u happy...
But here's a warning to these people, better watchout and dun step on my toes again else u'll see more than just a blog post....
GRRRRR!!!!

wah seh, the toughest week has just gone by ...
left with one last one, effective communications... what crap man...
Do engineers really have to study this kind of crap?
i think half of the syllabus are generally what we wouldn't use at all man...
perhaps because NTU is already ranked 50 in the world, so thats why they need to come up with such subjects to value-add itself at the expense of us poor students...
half the time dun even know wats going on...
oh well, at least i can enjoy myself now...
all my games and videos are collecting dust liao, its time i devour their essence and delete them from my system to boost efficiency...
How's my exams?
Heck lar, bullet fired liao, target too far to see whether strike or not, wait till they bring the target board nearer on the 18th then say lar, enjoy now
