Murphy's laws of dentistry

The easier a tooth looks on radiograph for extraction, the more likely you to fracture a root tip.

The shorter a denture patient, the more adjustments he or she will require.

The closer it is to 5:00 PM on Friday, the more likely someone will call with a dental emergency.

The cuter the child, the more difficult the dental patient.

Parents who typed their child's medical histories are trouble.

The more you need a specialist, the less likely they are to be in their office.

When a patient localizes pain on one of two teeth, you will open the wrong one.

The less a patient needs a procedure for dental health, the more the patient will want it >> 

e.g. anterior veneer vs posterior crown.

make babies snuggle and moms melt

That's the line I saw on a baby shop.

First time to a baby shop and I was tad hysteric in the baby girl clothing section haha.. Please do excuse, everything was a darling and made me squealed every time I glanced at them.

Kawaiiii~

The clothes are just as fashionable as women's clothing but in much smaller size, which I find IRRESISTIBLE!!!! Cropped cardi, summer dresses, colorful leggings, mini skirts, pastel-colored sweater, sequined ballet shoes.. all in baby size!!! 

Whose mama can resist that??! 

There are so many for girls but, as always, only few for boys.. Seems that our shopping fates has been determined since we're a newborn.. xD

2010 Recap, Welcome 2011!!

Weee.... if it's not because of Christmas I wouldn't have realized that we're at the end of the year AGAIN!! TIME FLIEEESSS, don't you agree?

Why is it New Year again?! I don't think I've made significant achievements sobs sobs....

Let's see how 2010 went for me~


Made a moving-out plan and started learning Cantonese.

Joined CouchSurfing. For those who are unfamiliar with that, please click here yea.. Made friends with new people from non-medical background which is kinda refreshing hehe.. You know, within these past 2 years, if I ever made new friends, they were always from dental/ medical field...

Awarded a BDS title.

Got myself a DSLR camera :)) Very pleased with it, taking photographs is like slowing down my life and calming my tensed brain heheh...

Five of my close friends were getting married. Ya, 2010 was like the year of weddings!! And now, two of them are going to have a baby. I can see in 2011 our reunion will be filled with baby-smooching and mama-talk hahaha... XD

Moved to a new workplace but left after 2 months.

Cut my hair short, just above the shoulder length, the shortest I ever had within last 10 years.


See? Nothing major at all..



I hate listing up resolutions cos a lot of times I fail to achieve 'em haha.. But every new year must be faced with confidence and new hope, right? I've got hopes, too.. Generally, for better things and for a-better me.


To be a more mature person. This is like a lifelong wish cos I feel I hardly grow up. Being a more mature person means being less selfish, less emo, more empathy for others, more responsible of myself, and less impulsive. I certainly miss the happy-go-lucky me and those good old days, but yeah.... Time goes. Life changes. I just don't want to be left behind.

To be a nicer person. Cos you know what, I'm not nice.. I'm often too honest and straightforward, that often hurts others' feeling.. :( I wish I could be able to 'pretend' better.. or at least communicate my ideas in a less offensive way..


To go back to school again. I also hope I can make it into the residency program this year. God, how I miss school so much.. :(  I really can't wait to start school again and meet my friends. It's dead-boring to work alone in the clinic and not have colleagues to discuss a case or just to share my days with.



What's your New Year wish?
