First time on teeth extraction

          I went to the oral surgical operation clinic today for my appointment on teeth extraction for orthodontic treatment on next month. To be exact, the teeth that were going to extract today were left maxillary & mandibular first premolars, 24 & 34. It was the first time that i went to clinic to have my teeth extracted, two teeth together with two local anesthetics & four injections!

          To be honest, i was very nervous & afraid, especially when i saw the huge syringes inserted into my mouth. After having four injections of the anesthetics, my left side of the mouth, nose & face were totally paralyzed. Many of my friends told me having injections are the most painful part of teeth extraction, but luckily i feel nothing at all when the syringes were inserted in my sulcus.

          Forgot to mention that the one who performed the teeth extraction of mine is my fifth year senior Noraziza & Camy, her assistant.

          The most difficult part is to extract my teeth, since my teeth are relatively large & huge in size. For my maxillary first premolar, the tooth was extracted with a tiny root fractured accidentally in the socket! I was like OMG! & it have to be taken out later to leave a clear space for ortho treament.

          After extracted my mandibular first premolar for almost 30 minutes (the suffering 30 mins & the most difficult part to perform for both of them i think because the senior accidentally cut my gingiva & it bleed heavily but i have no feeling at all), they called for doctor (a very nice, handsome & young doctor lol) to take out the tiny fractured root inside the socket on the maxilla.

          Another suffering 30 minutes.

          My left side of the mouth was paralyzed, but i can taste on my salty blood with the taste buds on my right side of my tongue. Lolol.

          Actually after the extraction i have an anatomy lecture in the dissection hall, but the seniors insisted me to go back to hostel to take a rest with packs of cotton wool to be bitten in case of bleeding, and some antibiotics & paracetamol pills.

A radiograph of my teeth!
Note that the impacted third molars on both left & right side of my lower teeth,
partially erupted third molars on both left & right side of my upper teeth.
Notice the loooong roots of my teeth, that's why extraction was so suffering for me lol.

Another radiograph of mine.
It showed that i have a severe overjet aka horizontal overlap,
no wonder my lecturer called me "bird face" wtf.
(Overjet: Extension of the incisal or buccal cusp ridges of the upper teeth horizontally (labially or buccally)
beyond the ridges of the teeth in the lower jaw when the jaws are closed normally.)

My teeth, with bloody tissue still intact on the roots.

The wound on the left side of the mandible.
Notice the silver thingy on my first molar is the molar band.

A big space on the left side of my maxilla.

There're a big space between my canines & second premolars after extraction.
Notice that are a BIG BIG wound out there >.<

          Hope that my another appointment on next week for extraction on right side of premolars would be an easy & better one! Pray hard :)

天灰

下了一整个下午的雨。
在巴士站,变得沉默。
我的天空,也像今天的天空一样
灰。

看开了,
也许过了这一场雨,
天空会变得更加晴朗,
空气会变得更加清新。

也许过了这一次,
我会更加努力,更加坚强。
这只是人生中的一个小挫折,算得了什么。
收拾心情,展望未来。

希望未来的我看到这一篇文章时,
会感谢这个小挫折,
因为它,
我成长了。


Together at Full House

          Today we went to Full House of Jalan Yap Kwan Seng to celebrate our sweetie -- Wei Tian's 20th birthday in advace (she'll turn 20 officially tomorrow). Although today we're all packed with lectures, performance practices & meetings, we still managed to spend some time to relax at there & have some delicious lunch together. I think Wei Tian's sure will be touched because initially she wanna cancelled the celebration due to our packed schedule.

          The atmosphere at there was very lovely & warming. I love the decoration of the restaurant the most, it was so girlish, just like our birthday girl. We spent some time to took a lot of pictures together at there instead of having our lunch. We really had fun!

          A picture tells more than a thousand words. Tada! Here are some of the pictures:-

Once is enough

Came across this quote today in the library:

“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” ― Mae West


It was so true & meaningful,
once is enough if you do it right at the right place on the right time.

Life is short.
Just like a brief candle.
Make sure you live it to the fullest,
dance like there's nobody watching,
love like you'll never be hurt,
sing like there's nobody listening
& live like it's heaven on earth. 

I wish i always are. 

Life is good!

          Time flies. Today is the second day of the second semester. Yet i already went for three meetings for the Densport, Fiqh Kesihatan & K-shop programmes that will be held on March. And another good news is we're going to have an oral mucosa minitest next week, just after the day i have my teeth extraction. Another busier & tougher sem is awaiting me. Hopefully everything will be just fine & goes well as planned.

          I promised to myself i have to work hard for this sem, really. Life as a dental student is not easy. Lectures, assignments, presentations, minitests, activity to get enough merits & credit hours & the killing exams. March will be the busier month for me, not to mention the studies & exams. I have three appointments for teeth extraction & bonding, the Densport - Sport competition among the dental students all around the country at Kuantan, the Fiqh Kesihatan programme where i'm the exco marketing & the PAP - Pesta Angpau where i'm one of the ajk of exco protocol, all in March! Hopefully i can still survive then.

          I must believe in myself that i can do better this time & improve myself in all the aspects this sem. You have to trust me, in university, specially in those critical courses, your result is everything.

Applying the law of attraction with gratitude,
i'm the happiest person
i love to study & learn new things
i'm blessed with good health
i have good memory on studies
i have great interesting & understanding on all the subjects.


I'm attracting the good things around me.

Today my life begins!
