the tales of the otori

Off days is over and I’m back to clinic again.. My plan to study Oral Med during the holiday was just a plan, never executed hahaha.. I was sick, okay? And Oral Med books aren’t entertaining hahaha..



I’ve just bought the book, Kisah 47 Ronin (or The 47 Ronin Story) but forgot to upload the picture sorry. xD~ I thought it’s good but IMO, it didn’t.. It comes from Matahati Publisher who also publish The Tales of the Otori which I fall in love with, so that’s why I think The 47 Ronin Story is good also.. It’s reviewed great on newspaper, too. Just, not good to my taste perhaps haha.. :P


The Tales of the Otori themselves include Across the Nightingale Floor, Grass for His Pillow, Brilliance of the Moon, Harsh Cry of the Heron, and Heaven’s Net is Wide. I own the first three, and already read the fourth book and plan to buy it :) I can’t find the fifth book anywhere and not sure whether Matahati really publish the book or not cos on their web, it’s also OoS. I once saw the International Edition in Periplus, but I think I’m gonna collect the translated version la first. If I still can’t find it, then I’ll go buy the English version haha.. This series is good! At first I thought that Lian Hearn, the writer, was a guy, hahah.. cos she writes like a guy, which I love! If you like samurai-related stories, you should check these books out! I mostly like stories related to cultures or history (exception for Harry Potter and Twilight of course lololol…), e.g. about samurai, ninjas, chinese tradition, and... holocausts, really..

come clean

Really don't have anything important to do so I decided to do this.

Me is changing the skin again.. hahaha... If you happened to access this blog before and the page showed you that it's going private, it's because I was still tweaking the html. Until now, I can't make the profile badge looks like what I want. And yeah, I'm putting my Twitter back on the sidebar. Actually I am not really bothered with Twitter cos I don't twit a lot and until this time I can't see its benefits. But yeah, guess it'll be good in later.. who knows?

How do you think?? IMO it looks very clean and tidy, unlike the previous toony theme (now I think that skin looked stupid for me..) This time is a la wordpress and comes in my favourite color, apple green! Hahaha.. Dunno how long this will last.. :P

got sick again

I'm catching flu again!! The last time was two months ago.. On Monday night, I was still very healthy.. even went to PTC with my sister.. but on Tue early morning, I woke up with headache and tingling nose and sore throat.. I couldn't sleep at all at night, and on the next day, I had slight fever. However, the symptoms are getting slightly better now though I'm still sticking to my tissue pack. Don't ever think about study la.. I cannot focus myself to that books and handouts. I spent whole day on my bed with some old comics and novels. Sad but true, my watery eyes cannot read handouts but comics..

update :)

We'll be having a 10-days OFF for Idul Fitri boh!!! Since 2006, this is the first time I do not mind about long off days in mid semester haha..

I'm gonna fly to Hong Kong!!!! study Oral Med of course! Does this sound creepy to you? Haha.. that's because the profession exam is usually a week after the holiday so I want to prepare early laa... :D Anyway, Oral Med discussion went very well today... still have one more discussion, one journal reading, one review, a post test, and the long awaited profession exam queuing behind. Still a lot yeah =.=? I promise myself this will be very well-paid in the end :)

Flight to Bali is confirmed already. Stupid me completely forgot to book when the price was cheaper.. It was only IDR 550K sumthing but now I have to pay almost IDR 700K!! Could have saved IDR 150K more le.. :( I will only spend 5 days in Bali, but it's not merely a holiday cos I will attend a scientific seminar - three days consecutively...

bliss

In my case, a prayer almost solves everything... O how can I not be thankful to you, Lord?

emoemoemoemoemo

D'ohh.. the weather is freaking hot just like hell larr... like fucking 37 C I've checked it with my car's termo!! Worse that my car's windows are sheer-tinted without any UV or infra-red shield so it feels almost boiling inside, plus heavy traffic jam and completely brainless motor-riders on the street, I'm HYPER EMO %$@&@#^@#!!!!!

Been quite on mood swing recently till I think I'm exploding very soon. It is usually okay in the morning but I lose more patience as it's getting to the end of the day! I know it's freaking weird and stupid, but things just look stupid and non-sense and not-fair and ridiculous that I think why the hell these just happen?? Why am I the only one who, seemingly, care about these shits while others think that these are normal?! Wtf is normal, anyway? I'm going nuts day by day..

beating hard

Ohh everyone please pray for me I will pass this Oral Med clinic succesfully.

I sooooo want to pass.

takes more than just luck

Erlin gave me the past papers Primary Exam, and I was completely stunned! The questions, the materials, like I have never heard any of them before. They're just 1000000% different from what I've learned till now and I can't even answer one single question arrrgghhh!! Parah ya toh... >.<

If I want to pass the exam, takes whole persistence and efforts from myself!! I might go to HK to check whether the same exams are applied there.. seriously, one year is sufficient?? Dumb dumb.. I don't clearly understand why they didn't teach us the same basic medical sciences here and instead, focused the learning process toward the skill? I just feel really dumb. McDreamy once mentioned this weakness, but I didn't think that the gap is that big!! IMO, only by our current standards, if the dentists didn't help themselves by improving their own knowledges, I really wonder how they could diagnose a disease. Ah. That's why our instructors keep yelling at us to read more and more and more. They won't yell for nothing, rite?? Shame, not?

I feel hopeless hahaha.. but as wisdom says, "When I think, I'm alive." So that's what my brain's for.

dream land

Bora-Bora

Perhaps, it is how a heaven looks like.. Oh. How I miss getaways.... :)

back to school

Day one in Oral Med II was only the intro of the clinic. Tomorrow will be having pre-test and I'm quite prepared for that already, I think.. hahaha.. I wish everything just goes well.. Yesterday I bumped into an another BDS student's blog and I think my days here aren't as miserable as hers, thankfully... I should be more grateful for what I'm having now.. :))

Only 45 days more, shall survive it..

Wanna buy the cam already but my money is still being borrowed by daddy.. TwT Family's finance is a little bit tight and mom holds me from buy unnecessary things.. but a camera isn't just an unecessary thing, right? I want to buy it cos I need it. Hahhh.. I thought she had already given OK to me when I told her I wanted to buy it.. why change her mind so quickly huh?? I'm just afraid that item will go OoS quickly before I get it on my hand eww~~

Also my BFF's wedding is coming closer, which is in October, and I haven't prepared the dress I'm gonna wear. I know now is still early September.. but who knows October will come so fast and I don't realize it? Aiyah...
