got a couple of shirts...i think i may have to throw some out soon, they're getting thin and worn outhahahaha

gotta vacuum and study this weekend!

A typical Wednesday

So I feel that I haven't blogged very concisely about a single day in a really really long time so this is gonna be really really long and probably boring with lots of little details which i won't fail to omit.

So lets start at midnight. i was asleep since i had a lecture at 730 so i was asleep unlike most of the other days since the holidays begun hahahaha. so i woke up to my alarm at 630 and decided that it wasn't worth getting out of bed yet that was until aunty susan knocked on the door to rouse me at 6 45 and then i decided it was time to definitely start thinking about getting out of bed. by 6 55 i was out of bed and realised i should leave the house at 7. that wasn't going to happen so i took a but of time and got to the bus stop at 7 11 and thought that i might JUST catch my bus. that was until i looked at the timetable and to my dismay found that my bus didn't actually come at that time...it was the one bus that i couldn't catch that came at that time. and so i have a new resolve, to walk across the park on wednesday moprnings ;p monday and thursdays are fine cos there are about 4 buses between 7 30 and 740 so that's alright :D

anyway i got on the bus and jumped off at buranda because i don't like it going all the way along the busway since it is quite crowded at the cultural centre and takes forever. i was surprised to see the very bus i wanted to see come into sight about a minute after i got off. the 88 which bypasses all the busway and takes me straight to where i want to go with only a 3 minute walk to the dental school. i was about 5 minutes late because the lecture theatre is so far away from the entrance gosh!

I sat down to a really boring lecture about indirect retention for removable partial dentures. i don't think the actual lecture was that boring but he had mentioned so much of the content in some way previously which made it a lot drier. i remember catching elaine almost falling alseep and her catching me like 2 minutes afterwards :P

so the thing with the early start is that we have a half hour break afterwards and we usually nap or try to in that time. ben had forgotten his lab coat so i lent him mine since he needed it in lab more than i needed it in preclinic. this led to something really funny actually.

So after deciding to go to preclinic, i grabbed my stuff and headed off. I was definitely one of the first 10 there and went to borrow a lab coat. the lab coat i borrowed was the same as the tutor used and i had to roll up my sleeves in order to get them covered ;p. so anyway got the place mat, rubber dam frames and handpeices for everyone on the table and chloe got my log book, the foreceps a GOOD hole punch and templates scissors but we were too late for the floss so i snagged one from the other wheel :D

anyway after i got all my PPE on, dr albert looked like he wanted to talk to me but then stopped himself and said. oh sorry i thought you were dr hsing. i was like LOL and then chloe remarked how much i actually did look like him :D dineeth made that comment about 4 times during the course of preclinic hahahahah i thought it was hilarious!

so anyway i started doing my amalgam about 6 minutes into the preclinic whihc is really fast but i got them titurated and then they began talking so i was forced to scoop out what i had done and then listen. it was quite interesting and i learnt a bit :D. I was so focussed on my carving my amalgam but...managed to do it wrong hahahaha i put the buccal groove too mesial so the mesial cusp looked bigger than the distal hahahaha oh well and i didn't carve an overhang off but dr albert signed me off anyway. i proceeded to do some cavity preps on the 15 and stuff them up gosh forgot how small they were! ;p tried again and failed again so after an hour it was time to pack up. i did 2 alright ish one...but oh well!

so while packing up, i was talking to dr albert in my incognito as dr hsing ;p and he was saying how he applied for ortho 3 years after he finished uni cos he took an extra year...for kicks? and this came about cos we were talking about checking depths twice and he told me a story about how his friend extracted the wrong tooth. check twice was the message ;p.

anyway after that i went down to lunch and waited for a microwave cos it was well and truly lunch hour and they were all taken. one of the microwaves stopped working and someone turned it on and off and got a shock! he swore a bit ;p i shared elaine's microwave and she was having cantelloni but i was having rice and beef tendons which was really yummy :D

ben and helen had gone to queen street for lunch and i asked them to get me some kfc assuming that they'd go there but the didn't so no kfc for me! so anyway while elaine was getting her lunch or wating for hers to heat i was eating and was done by the time she got back ;p. she had to send the electric toothbrush to a buyer, this is the one we got for free last year and she sold it for 50 bucks;p rrp 100.

so anyway she was gone! it was so quiet you could have heard a pen drop. jenny jenny and sonya were quite quiet even thought they had finished eating with the exception of jenny :D I decided to just ramble for a bit hahaha before i decided to make it really interesting and stared right at sonya and asked 'hey jenny did you ever have a nickname' this bamboozled everyone for a bit before jenny replied no and other jenny told how her friends typed her name as jenne instead of jenny. not that much difference really :P

after talking for a bit ben and helen returned and i told them of the proposal that i had just made, to get a new ben but his name didn't have to ben ben but he would replace ben when ben went somewhere as to alleviate the silence. this was quite confusing so i just dropped it and asked what anyone's favourite limerick was. ben and i were of the same wavelength about a certain limerick :D

it goes and follows

there was a man from china

he wasn't a very good climber

he slipped on a rock

and broke his rock

and now he has a rock.

the actualy limerick is a bit more anatomical but this will serve its purpose nicely because that was exactly what i said. no one got it.... before i hinted at the hidden anatomical features very well hidden behind a rock! jenny got it and i think sonya got it but helen was inherently lost ;p

i think that was the last thing whihc we talked about before we went our separate ways. going to lab was really funny actually. i went to the toilet and saw ryan there so i went in the cubicle while he was at the urinal. anyway we walked out at the same time and just at that time, dineeth was all WTH where were you guys? what were you doing? i replied toilet. he asked at the same time? i thoguht that was a little funny ;p especially since there are toilets in the locker room which is where i usually go but ANYWAY. so we went to lab and were to articulate some models. i did mine pretty quickly compared to most people.

like i made the mixture pretty quickly and was able to smooth it without too much hassle before i lightly sanded it and got the jig from rick. handed it to jeff after i was done and rick got another one ;p we're so charismatic everyone wants us to have the jigs ;p so i was done in about an hour but most people were done after about 2 ish cos they had to wait hahahahaha. i sanded before playing around with my countour rim. i was surprised that they didn't come together perfectly before benny explained that they shouldn't and that we have a few more steps :D

i waited in anticipation and played around with my model i am not sure if i ruined it or not but mehhh its fun hehehe. so with the articulated models i follwed benny's steps of making it occlude with the acryllic contour rim and spent the next probably 20 minutes on it before i began cleaning up the plaster room since i was quite confident i was done and that no one would want to clean the plaster room and would want to spend every last second on this. i ghave my acryllic rim to jenny since they ran out and went to clean.

by the time i was pretty much done it looked alright but tara came in and used the spray, very fancy indeed hahahahaha.

left and went to the lecture theatre pretty much. i was the first one in there and sat in the dark in my balck shirt. terry came in looked around and didn't see me since the lights were off. ho jay then came in and said hi thomas. to which terry exclaimed 'why didn't you say anything before' hahahaha this attracted benson who in an equally exasperated manner exclaimed 'wow you're hiding!' hahahahah i took a but of pleasure in that :P people came in and by the designated time to start, the room was much fuller than this morning's lecture :P it started off really well i was wide awake for over half an hour before the chemical compositions were spoken of. i looked around and saw elaine, gilbert and benson falling asleep :P oh well the 'this slide is important for the exam' roused everyone and they were well dispersed in the lecture slides hahahahaha elaine was espcially awake for these instances :D

so afterwards, we went home and i wanted to get a kfc drumstick or something cos i was feeling a bit peckish. after seeing the line i opted for a mcdonals hamburger. as i walked there the line grew. how very strange! so i didn't get that either seeing i had 6 minutes to my bus i went to 7 11 got a donut for a dollar and went to wait. i waited for a 3 minutes before the bus arrived. i intently read sherlock holmes which i was destined to finshed today :D and i did just not on the bus

had some dried hokkien noodles for dinner whcih was quite nice and told aunty susan my water filter jug was made in germany :D i finished my book and then aunty lizzie came over for some reason..not too sure why but aunty susan mentioned the series whcih ben gave to to show her anatomy for beginners and she got that she looked at some of my textbooks and i showed her some teeth and she asked about gum disease, halitosis and caries which i explained to her to sufficient detail i think :D she then drank a glass of filtered water and remarked how it tasted better than tap water. i haven't really noticed a difference :P

so that has been a typical wednesday for me :D write how your day was in the comments section hehehehe the chatbox is overrun...is there a way to block these insensitive ad people?

Elaine's back!

no not her anatomical back but rather she is back from china! hahahaha what kind of person do you think i am ;p

so this morning was extraordinarily cold for no reason i think its cos i wasn't wearing enough :P got out of bed at 7 but was back in bed almost immediately ;p warmed up for 10 minutes before feeling awake and then going to bus stop and being early hehehe. walked with ho jay to the lecture. it was an interesting set of topics today :D and i told helen how girly she sounds on the mic ;p i didn't really notice that that much before :P

hmmmm we went to the workshop and it was funny cos we did the work for the first half hour before it got incredibly boring ;p at about an hour in we saw that people from the other work shop had wandered in so i went on facebook and then went to physiol. the door kept being opened by people going to the microwave and the wind was really cold ;p

we then went to the prac after practically freezing and warming up for 3 hours ;p the prac was really fun and the quiz afterwards i got 10/10 yay!

its getting colder now and i'll need to bring the other 2 blankets down hahahaha and wear more clothes!

Mother's day

I sent mum and e card cos i didn't even know it was mothers day til it would be too late for mum to recieve her card ;p

so today we went to lunch and it was really nice :D like the meal that they said was enough for 6 people fed 8 and there was still food left hahahah and it was yummy i was quite full after it, we went to vietnamese corner and i swear peking duck isn't vietnamese but prove me wrong...prove me wrong. the traffic getting there was kinda bad but we got in early at about 11 30 hahaha later when aunty linda came to join us the traffic was much worse! oh well ;p

so i got home and you know how after you had a really nice and big meal you feel tired and want to digest? i slept for a good 2 hours :D uncle mark was a bit concerned lol.

i woke up with the determination to study and i flew through 2 lectures before mum called and i decided to haeva shower then dinner :D

i don't know how but i used 80mbs...and i haven't even done anything...it was like 8 mb's when i went to havea shower maybe something updated itself or something i dunno.... stupid new laptop wasting so much internet ;p

I think i'll finish this week's lecture before looking at next weeks. trying to get myself back in the groove :d having fun has its advantages hehehehe

Beautiful day!

SO should have gone beach today! but i woke up at like 11 and by the time i did washing and ate lunch it was close to 1 so yeah ;p

beach picnic! grand idea! lets go next sunday!!

anyway not much except i played starcraft with victor for about 5 hours hahahahaaha

Boat cruise!

sooooo much fun :D:D:D:D

little light headed but otherwise completely fine more than fine had sooooooo much fun :D

I would include an image but i didn't take any i so so should have :D. So we met for dinner first and we were kinda worried that we wouldn't finish on time but guess what we did :D the funny thing was that helen burnt a napkin hahahaha then i suggested that we put the napkin on top of the glass bowl to suffocate the flame ;p we didn't... i had a miso pork ramen or something like that and it was really nice :D everyone enjoyed their meal so we're gonna come back one day hehehe

so after that we caught a bus at king george square to southbank because we were at the wrong ferry stop hahaha. the ferry stop which jenny and ben thought it was was wrong! so we walked more before reaching the ferry stop.

the boat we got on was called wild boys and it was sort of a party boat ;p. the first thing we did was go to the toilet hahahahaha! after getting a drink, i started talking to people, talked to anthony in third year and richard for a bit before attacking some first years ;p talked to some second year probably everyone there i don't really remember who was there though :P

then we went to the bar and decided to try some of the more interesting drinks hahahaha and they came in cups :O got some jd spilt on me but i had 2 shirts on so its alright :D. midori was yummy hehehe like cordial ;p

we went downstairs and thought the food was free but it was a dollar a piece so we just talked to some 4th years. it was too loud so i couldn't really catch the names of most people but i'm sure when i go to dent school i'll recognise them :D

lots of photos hehehehe i don't really know what else to talk about i have no idea where the actualy boat went i know it was brisbane river but that's about it ;p

If only everyday was like today!

As you can imagine today was quite eventful and fun :D I woke up and was tired and didn’t want to get out of bed cos it was so so cold. By then time I left the house I walked in a zombie like state to the bus station and saw I just missed a bus but waited about 30 seconds before another one came! Amazing!!! That was the first thing. Sylvia insisted it was too warm and that my jacket on top of my hoodie with gloves was excessive hahahaha so I took off my gloves!

Anyway got to the lecture and found that the pathway they were building on Tuesday was open so no need to walk through wet gross grass hahahaha. So the lecture itself started alright :D like I was walking in the corridor and remarked ‘ooo we’re not late’ and the lecturer was just behind us and said ‘oh yes you are I’ve already set up’ haha

The lecture itself wasn’t that amazingly interesting in the first 10 mionutes but there was quite a bit to take down but at 15 minutes the fire alarm started to go. WOW a fire alarm! My first one as far as I can remember but I’ve had practice ones before and one other real one at hurlstone :D

So after that I was completely awake and it was a good 15 minute break hehehehe. The next hour of lelcture was pretty good even though I was quite blank for some of it especially when we were asked to diagnose the condition it should have been obvious cos he talked about it during the lecture but I didn’t put 2 and 2 together :P or rather I put 2 and 2 and got 100 :P

After that we walked to a sunny grass area but jenny left us so she could catch her bus :P. sonya stuck around for a bit before she too ran away! I had the guiness book of world records out which will become part of sonya’s present hehehe :D and we perused it for a while before deciding to go shopping. I’m glad I decided to join ben and Helen and equally glad we decided to go to indro over the city :D We walked all three levels in the pursuit of an awesome shirt ehehehe which I found in target ben found one but it was a bit pricey so he decided against it.

The thing is Myer has exactly what you’re looking for….except not at the price you’re looking for or the size you’re looking for ;p by that stage we were a bit tired. We eventually went back to target since we were getting something we’d wear like once so I got a nice blue shirt for 19.

We then went for lunch I got helen’s drink from her storm deal and she got a juice bottle AMAZING! Ben got a 3 piece feed from KFC and I got a large meal from hanaichi which really truly was large and I was just able to finish it. We then went to the toilet omg! But coming out of the toilet we walked into an arcade :D we spent about 15 dollars ish and over an hour in there which was quite surprising. The thing was I played some ddr which made me happy and sort of sore hehehehe, Helen played some random shooting game she wasn’t very good at ;p and also another shooting game which used a joystick and each token gives you 10 shots. Each token was about 50 cents so she wasted it all cos the shark needs 100 shots and she put one token in ;p.

We played a funny coin game which you slide it in and try to win more coins right. We spent about I dunno 8 dollars ish there putting it in and stuff. It was really funny at 2 stages which sort of made it worth it. While we were putting coins in we barely won anything even though coins dropped there weren’t any in the actual bucket. We went away to get more and came back and walking made it drop and we got about 12 hahahaha! We then played with those 12 at the same machine and after a bit, ben like flicked the machine and one fell down that was amazing!!

So we moved away and came back cos we didn’t really want to play other games :P. Just as we were about to leave, ben made the remark that he hadn’t played pinball in an arcade before so I promptly popped a dollar in and then it lasted for about 20 minutes hahahahah the balls kept falling down the hole but another one came and then there were multiple balls and balls got stuck and stuff hahaha, it was the best dollar of the day :D we must have played 30 or so balls! And when there is more than one its really hard to focus on them ;p.

We caught the bus and went our separate ways. There’s a boat cruise today at 6 50 so we’re going to dinner before that :P hope its good! Would be a good end to a good day :D Its also quite warm now :D that’s nice hehehehe
