sigh, three days without posting. week has been uneventful as of yet.
we started making our dental mouthguards in dtech yesterday. dont get our marks on the plasticine tooth back till next week hopefully, cos im not really wanting them back.. im pretty sure i passed, but still. played badminton today with some second year pod kids, was pretty fun. as you might have been able to tell by my lack of typing in this post, im freaking tired. since i got back from uni, ive just been staring aimlessly at my comp screen being generally unproductive on the study frontier. fb has been used lots this arvo though.. hahaha.
okay i think thats all nows.
ill post a less pathetic post tmr :p

don't know what to title this post.
okay. my plan to be a 'consistent' blogger this year, has failed epically as you might see, since i haven't posted in nearly TWO WEEKS :O
anyways, over the last ten days or so, lots of cool stuff has happened.
first and foremost, we had to hand in our plasticine tooth on thursday! the 15 hours of non-stop working and moulding finally came to a close, and we had to self-assess our work, and then submit it. actually im kinda glad it is over, cos i was kinda getting sick of it.
and then we also had to do proportional drawings of teeth, complete with shading and everything. lucky for us, there were some excellent pictures in the textbook which we could copy, so it made it marginally easier. that was due the same day as the plasticine tooth, but we were allowed to do these pics in our own time, so we didnt have a time limit like with the tooth.
occlusal aspect:
buccal view:
anyhow, last last friday (5th i think) was the dentistry fresher welcome at uni! it was held at night, on the ohcwa lawn!! it was pretty fun =D ended up going to dinner with the dent ppls before the event, was quite funny considering there was about 20 of us all piling into a little azn cafe place to eat hahaha. biggest group they would have had i think. i remember i had, tofu teriyaki!! and it comes with miso soup and vegetable pickle and rice =D yummmy. dent freshers was basically just a big party, and i also got my freshers t-shirt!
umm apart from that, i dont think too much has happened.. cant believe its already week FOUR.
only three weeks left and its mid-semester!!!
its gone soo quickly so far. which is kinda sad, cos they say uni is the best time in your life, and its going past too quickly :(
anyways, i guess ill have to 'live on the edge' for my uni years, and truly cherish them!
i think thats all for now.
-peace out xD

joke!
a white bear and a brown bear both jump into water, which one dissolves first?
the white one - because its polar.
lame joke i know, but i really couldn't resist.
actually i think you only find it hilarious like i do when you study biochemistry type stuff too much like i do :S
annndd just a thought,
if they have life-rafts on airplanes, shouldn't they have parachutes on boats?

recap-ationing101.
okay here we go, recap from lasst *opens blog to see last post* wednesday!!!
okay thursday, had uni. umm ooo yeah i started at 10 that day :O cos, i didnt go to the morning lecture since its fahb (which i dont have to do) and it was a 8am lecture. and to top it off, it was in the business school, so yeah cbb walking all the way down. instead, i just came to the library, and then studied a bit.
in the afternoon, we had our second dtech lab, annnnd we started our plasticine tooth! basically, we are given a model of a giant molar, and we have to replicate it exactly. im gonna take some pics tmr when i have the lab again, so ill upload them after (: my tooth, is doing alright i think, cos i got the basic shape done, and yeah, mainly just details now! we have 15 hours or so to do it, so hopefully ill be able to finish in time. annd we also have to do drawings of teeth, with shading and everything, so that should be fun i guess. just needa bring out my artistic side :P
umm friday was uni again, and was rather fun! in the morning had a couple of lectures, and then had to also go for a communication skills lecture, which we are gonna be having in the first two weeks of uni. it was basically just going over basic communication skills between patients and doctors/dentists. and then in the afternoon, went to broadways for lunch, and then went to check out jacky's unit. and then played BADMINTON!!! played for like 1.5 hours, but it was sooo hot, so i was suuper knackered by the end of it.
saturday was pretty normal, just went to work and then after went out for dinner. was supposed to stay home and study, but that kinda didnt really happen :(
sunday morning i finally managed to get some study done!! managed to revise everything i needed to which was good. annd then did vacuuming and steam mopping as well ahahha. for dinner we went to northbridge for dinner. the plan was to go to utopia, but it was slightly busy, so we just went to another azn restaurant. i got noodles. yumo. annd then i introduced my daddy to his first every bubble-tea! ahahha. annd then after that just came home, and i had to iron my laundry, and then just watched a movie and went to sleep.
aannndd then now we come to today. basically, so far, all ive done is come into uni and yes. now just blogging away in the science library and yea :)
okay i think thats all for now.

back to uni!
even though its only day three of being back at uni, it feels like we've been there a while, and thats just how i like it :)
dent has been going really good so far, got to go to the common room yesterday, cos it was pretty empty. played ping pong and a bit of pool hahaha. annd we also watched some of the olympics during on tv haha. yesterday we also had our first dtech (introduction to dental technology, dtech for short) lab, which was really good, because we got our first exposure to dental stuff, as opposed to all the textbook work. basically, we were introduced to all our tools, and their names/functions. annd then we had to soften a piece of baseplate wax (about 10cm2) and fold it in half, without trapping any air bubbles. i have a feeling i did mine a bit too quickly, cos i had a couple of air bubbles, but i managed to just heat up one of the instruments, and then melt/resurface the wax around the bubble. annd then we were told how to operate these special types of drills, one of the many id imagine, that we'll be using in dental practice.
today was all lectures, and then after the final lecture, stayed back in the library, because a couple of my friends needed help with some of the lecture content, so i was just helping them. its really cool in our science library, because we have white-board tables, so its well good for explaining stuff :D even though this is slightly strange, i realllly like the idea of just staying back after all the lectures/classes are finished, and just chilling/studying in the library. its kinda wierd, but a lot of my 'fond' memories from last year science, were these sorta things. i think its just a nice 'break' from the stress of lectures, and the hustle-bustle of having to commute home. today, after helping my friends int he library, i just sat around with jacky, whilst he was getting his laptop connected to the uni network, annd then i went to see his house place he was renting with his two flatmates. its actually a quite alright house! and his room is reasonably big for a unit. and main thing is its close to uni.
anways, i think the only problem with uni, is the 8-5 timetable. so tiring. this whole week, ive been sleeping at about 1030ish, since ive just been so tired. i think its the 6:00 wake up that is the hard part :P but i guess ill get used to it, cos ill most likely have this for at least the next couple of years. and its a good thing the whole of dentistry is together, we all get to suffer together hahahaa.
hmm okay, i should get back to my mgc notes, doing lecture summaries. haha. and im planning on going to uni early tomorrow as well to do them as well, so ill get back to it!

150!!
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY POSTS!!!!!!
yay.
so this is the one hundred and fiftieth post, which means im 15% of the way to achieving my life-time blogging goal, of having 1000 posts :D i think, by having 1000+ posts, you can truly say that you are a dedicated blogger. because if you think about it, if you post EVERDAY, then it would still take you just under three years to do; dedication? i think so :P so yes, this post is the 150th, and i reckon itll take me another three four years to get to 1000 hahaha. depends how often i post i suppose.
oo and yesterday, whilst i was cleaning up my desk area and drawers, i came to the sudden realisation that, I DONT HAVE TO DO MATHS ANYMORE!!! =D
not that there is anything wrong with maths, i just prefer to not do it hahaha. well apart from the odd unit or so ill probly come across in dentistry, i wont have to fully focus on maths every again (:
yeah i came across this thought of absolute amazement while i was creating a 'study zone' by getting rid of all the non-essential items from my drawers, annnd i came across my graphics calculators, and a couple of the scientific ones :P so yes! i am rather happy now (:
anyways, apart from being the 150th post, today was also my first day as a dentist-in-the-making. it was pretty good i reckon :D had a couple of lectures, and since i got exemption from one unit (cos of my science stuff i did last year) i didn't have to go for a lab this morning. annd my afternoon lecture was in ohcwa, so picked up some chilliz as we were walking up. the plan was to eat it in our 'oh-so-awesome' common room, but it was kinda packed, so we just ate outside in the verandha =D
but im thinking ill have to start taking packed lunches a couple of days a week, cos chilliz isn't exactly the healthiest option out there, and its soo tempting cos its so cheap hahaha. so yeah! that was the first day of dentistry :)
since it was just introductory stuff today, i knew all the stuff in the lectures so luckily i dont have much revision or study to do, ill just flick through a couple of chapters and then muck around for the rest of the night hahaha.
annnd it was soo cool meeting up with everyone in uni again! hadn't seen a lot of these ppl for 3 months or so, so was really good catching up with them all!
okay i think this is all for now,
ill should be able to post regularly now, since im back in the 'uni routine' lol
-peace out xD
