facial sauna.

Bought a 10-pound facial sauna from argos today. It's cheap but there were really good reviews about the product so i thought i would give it a try.

Got home. All excited to give myself a treat. Then tak-da-- set all the pieces up, switched the thing on, and guess what, IT WAS NOT WORKING.

Argh, argos, what a disappointment.

Gonna waste a trip returning it tmr.

happy birthday me ^^

ouch

just had my braces tighten yesterday. OUCH.

it will be a week of porridge again. zzz.

spider.

Today i had a patient in for a root canal treatment. The notes on the computer says "EXTREMELY NERVOUS PATIENT", so i thought ok, this needs a lot of tender-loving-care again. The patient was actually passed over by my boss. I have seen her once and she was a bit shakey on the chair.

So i told her i would have to inject her first. And she was telling me she was nervous. I tried to calm her down and all of a sudden, my nurse Micha gave out a terrified scream--a spider was crawling on the worktop on her side. So i thought, ok ai ling your are the dentist, you should take care of this. So i went over and had a look, thinking it's a tiny creature that just created an over-exaggerating reaction from my nurse. No, the spider was massive. It's like 3cm big. I stepped back and asked Micha "go ask Ramky to come please!". Since my boss was on holiday, Ramky, the other dentist upstairs was the only guy in the whole practice. I mean, guys should take care of shit like this right?

And guess what, my "EXTREMELY NERVOUS" patient just jumped out from the chair and said "hey i am not scared let me take care of it!". Next she grabbed a few paper towels from the dispenser and charged towards the spider, and proper squash the poor insect. Micha and I were stunned, speechless. Shocked, but i still managed to say thank you to her for handling the mess.

Then she went back onto the chair and told me, "you are gonna numb me up right? OMG i am shaking now".

The minute she finished the spider off, i thought this lady should have no fear whatsoever. But then again, she is scared of me, the dentist, and the needle in my hand.

Dental phobia is a funny thing. I can't be scarier than a massive spider can I?

free bird.

finally broke my 10-year bond with JPA. i am one free bird now.

thank you for the 7 years of amazing life, support, and a wonderful degree. i wouldn't be what i am without you, that's a fact. thank you.
