shower of blessings~

Wondering why am I so free to blog tonight?

.

.

.

.

.

UCC is closed for a week..yeayyyy..

.

.

.

.

.

CLOSED?????!!!! 

.

.

.

Cork was flooding last weekend. UCC was badly affected. We had to leave our apartments..huhu. And now I am a refugee at my senior's house....


No pics here..coz Shannon took my camera to London for Taylor Swift's concert..haha..have fun there mate.

I'm so bored to death. I can't study too. Not yet. Might start tomorrow (then the tomorrow never somes...haiz~)

finally...

The last time I saw him was in August, just before he flew back to Ottawa. I was so surprised and shocked when I met him at the airport. Oh dear, his hair was longer than mine..huh I can't take it..haha. It was not that long till you can tie it to a ponytail but yeah, for a guy, it's long. At that time, I just had my haircut too so, my hair was still very short. 

I kept on pestering him to cut his hair shorter. He must be bored to death whenever I texted him asking him to cut his hair. I even told him to cut his hair when I called him from Malaysia for the last time, just before I flew off to Cork. 

And, finally........


That was a Skype snapshot after he cut his hair..haha..looks much more handsome right?? hihihi..

dentists do have lives..HAHA

Expecting dentists-in-training to be all around books and books and books...or aka geeks.

Well, I'll prove u wrong today. An undergraduate student of BDS can have fun as much as other students in other courses too. Undeniably, it's not an easy course, but we do have our play times. At least, our college lives are not dull and boring like what most people would think. That's what we learn as stereotypes in Behavioral Science classes. ;)

Dentists or should I say now, future dentists, are not only good with their hands where obviously, that's the main focus of our manual dexterity. Believe it or not, we are also good with our legs and feet. HAHA......maybe kalah soccer team Semangat Bowgal kat Ottawa sana tu..hehehe..... :P


-----> See, what did I say...hehe.. DentSoc (the society with the widest smile in UCC) organised a soccer tournament between batches. There were 5 teams, obviously, and 2 categories. Male and female. And the team above is the female team of the 1st year class. The 3rd year girls won the female category and the lads were the 2nd years.


You might see us in super-duper simple attire in class..and some of the guys sometimes would just appear to class with sweat pants and T-shirt that could have been worn to bed the night before. And for the 3rd year students onwards, they might just be in scrubs with masks and gloves. Sounds so unfashionable? Yeah, we consider that as a compliment..haha. But hey, look at these pics below: 

We look gorgeous, didn't we? That was DentBall 2009 which was held earlier this month. It was fun. I get to know my classmates better that day. We dined, we danced, we sang, we took lots of pictures, in short, we had fun. (^_^) wishing that you are in my place right now? haha..

This first term's gonna end soon. Very, very soon which is I think, approximately in 3 weeks time. AN1006 first assessment will be on 2nd Dec...Pray for me and physiology the following week after that.

-----> Winter hols, come fast...

uhhhh...update

Sorry for abandoning this blog...mmmm....wokie dokie. Some updates:

1. After 5 weeks into BDS, finally, I had my hands on cadavers..yucks~ HAHA the experience was not horrible actually. But,nevertheless,the smell of cadavers really made me sick =.= ...i'll put on scarf sprayed with perfume for my next dissection class. I will.

2. hey people, citizens of planet earth.... it's clearly an autumn now in Cork. The trees are bald. The weather turns so bad and unpredictable. And, it gets colder n windier..brrrr...

3. Shopping for the things you like is really a good therapy..hihi. I had not shop for few weeks~ so last friday, i went out shopping with Shu Yi..muahaha....I feel great. (^_^) I bought a beautiful white trench from Penneys. It cost me 35euro.. expensive.. 35 x 5.1 = RM 178.50!!!!!!!!! but it was nice, and I love it. so,it's fine..

4. Friends from TCD came over for the Jazz Festival. Thank you Miss Eow, Miss Yeoh, Puan Husna & Puan AJ for making our 4-days weekend a nice one :) To AJ and Husna, on behalf of Apartment No 48; Castlewhite, I am so sorry for the 'messiness' and the dysfunctional toilet n shower lights~ hehehe... and as for Husna, I hope my bed was cosy enough..haha

5. DEEPAVALI..oh gaya and vini..happy deepavali... thank you so much for the foods~ earthlings sekalian, GAYATHRIE Nacheemuthu is a very,very,very good cook. and so does her roomate. My suggestion, go to Gaya for nice,authentic curries and other Indian dishes and to Shu Yi for healthy vege dish & soups..they are delicious~ guys,both these lovely girls are not taken yet..haha..cepat cepat,siapa cepat dia dapat...

6. Mark 3..that was the passage for our discussion during Christian Union last week. It tells about how Jesus loves us so much that He calls us His brothers and sisters. He loves both believers and non-believers the same and calls all of us to come to Him for he is full of love and compassion. And after the 1hr CU meeting, we went to Mardyke to play bowling..oh yeah.. I've never know that I am good at it..haha.. was one of the top scorer that nite..yippee.. (^_^) oh i can't wait for the next fellowship. Mark 4, here I come

ok..that's all for now. Take care & God bless everyone.

raya di perantauan


Hari Sabtu sudah lama berlalu. Jadi, kira agak terlambat juga la post ni tapi tak apa la kan. Apa yang akan saya kongsikan sebentar lagi ialah tentang sambutan Hari Raya Aidilfitri di Cork..ataupun lebih tepat lagi tentang rumah terbuka yang telah diadakan di rumah saya anjuran para pelajar tahun pertama Malaysia di UCC sesi 2009.

Mengapa di rumah Ija dan Timah? Ija kan bukan Melayu, bukan Islam juga. Tertanya-tanya tak? haha..sebab kita semua ni rakyat Malaysia yang mengamalkan cara hidup aman damai dan saling menghormati budaya satu sama lain.  Semua rakyat Malaysia sama-sama merayakan Hari Raya, hari Christmas (yang bakal tiba semasa cuti winter...aaaa..saya mahu balik Malaysia), Hari Deepavali (minggu hadapan yang sangat-sangat dinantikan oleh kawan saya si Gaya) mahupun Hari Gawai dan Hari Kaamatan. Kita semua cuti umum ba itu di Malaysia..hihi.

Jadi, sebab itu tak salah lah rumah saya dan Timah digunakan sebagai venue rumah terbuka warga Istana Putih. Tapi hakikatnya, sebab sebenar rumah kami digunakan untuk acara yang gilang gemilang itu ialah ....jeng jeng jeng... rumah kami (apartment 48) berada di atas apartment Mior dan Hisyam (apartment 47). Maka, sangat strategik lah lokasi ini..hehehe. Rumah kami untuk menjamu para tetamu perempuan. Rumah Mior dah Hisyam pula untuk para tetamu lelaki. 

"Kami budak baru belajar, kalau tak sedap tolong ajarkan", demikianlah jawapan yang dijawabkan kepada para seniors bila ditanyakan sama ada mampukah kami memasak atau tidak. Saya tidak nafikan bahawa kami semua tidak begitu hebat di dapur (mungkin hanya hebat menjamu selera tapi tidak memasak..HAHA). Oleh kerana itu, kami sangat-sangat bersyukur akan kewujudan Internet, terutamanya 'GOOGLE SEARCH'. Terima kasih google kerana mengajar kami semua resipi-resipi hebat untuk disajikan sajian utama pada sambutan open house yang lepas.

Boleh tahan juga tau masakan kami semua. Sajian utama adalah mi bandung yang dimasak khas oleh saudara Mior dan nasi marjerin yang disediakan oleh saudari Ain..(macam serasi pula mereka kan??hehehe) Nasi marjerin itu pula semakin sedap dimakan bersama sup cendawan yang lazat resipi Cik Kameelah dan ayam mayonis panggang yang diperap oleh kami insan-insan yang berkromosom xx dan dipanggang oleh mereka yang berkromosom xy. Ada salad juga. Dan pelbagai jenis dessert yang lazat,sedap,manis,jarang dijumpai di hari-hari biasa, dan yang paling utama, sangat berkalori tinggi. :P HAHAHA

Buat kakak-kakak dan abang-abang seniors yang telah hadir, terima kasih banyak-banyak. Walaupun kena datang jauh-jauh dari Wilton la, Bishoptown la, dan kawasan-kawasan lain berhampiran CUH. 

Buat rakan-rakan sama batch, seronok bekerjasama dengan korang semua. Walaupun budak-budak pergigian seperti saya dan 5 yang lain adalah teman baru anda semua yang dari fakulti perubatan, kami rasa seronok..hehe. Maafkan kami sekiranya kami selalu pergi trip ke tempat-tempat menarik di hari 'weekdays' dan secara tidak langsung 'menjeleskan' anda semua..hehehehe...blame our timetable yang banyak masa free!!!! hehe

Akhir kata, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri kepada semua yang menyambutnya (kerana bak kata Timah, sekarang masih Syawal, masih bulan raya).

oh penat sungguh menaip dalam Bahasa Melayu..oh penat..penat...hihihih

my first cement

The title says it all. Behold, my first ever cement that I prepared myself.

The cement above is zinc oxide eugenol. It is used for temporary filling, sedative dressing and linings.  And the cement on the microscope slide below the one mentioned earlier is zinc phosphate (fleck). It has two functions; as a luting cement and base under filling material. It is supposedly to be settled in 6-7 minutes but surprisingly mine took 19 mins and 15 secs.. (>.<) 

haha..my course of study is pretty interesting right? oh yah.there's another type of cement done yesterday but unfortunately my groupmate accidentally threw it away before I could snap a picture of it. It was the one used for fillings.

Happy Birthday MOM


Today's my Mom's birthday. I really really thank God for having a super wonderful and loving mom like her. May God bless you always. I love you (^_^)

an afternoon after a short bike ride

haha..someone edited Ben's image into a female's face template using "yearbook yourself 2009".. and I really think that the photo looks cute~

hahaha..and just after the 1st year Malaysian students of Cork meeting at Azizi's apartment, I borrowed my good, lovely, kind neighbour's bike..(just to see how does it feel to be on a bike before deciding to buy one later).. my berbasikal skill is just as bad as my driving skill rupanya. Thank God Mior and Hisyam are around..hahaha.

Then,upon coming back, while waiting for my bubur nasi to masak, I tried to have my image edited using the same application as Ben's. And below is how I look like..hehehehehe:

hahaha..funny rite? but honestly speaking, Ben's photo is cuter.

a land not so far away from Cork

Supposedly, I have one class on Friday..DS 1002 (material practicals for clinical lab). But it will only start next week..haha.

So, yah..my fellow Malaysian classmates and I decided to visit Cobh. It's a small town which is located approximately 24km from Cork. We took train from Cork to Cobh which cost us 6.35 euro each. 

One of our classmates was also there at the train station. Killian..the 17 year old guy. He was waiting for his train to Dublin to visit a friend. He's quite cute..haha. harap2 dia tak baca blog ni.

Cobh is nice, tranquil, calm, peaceful.. I love it!
