I have been dying to write lately, but too busy to. Finally found myself some quality time to write now :) Well, the last time I write would prolly be A Level GP.

So many things have changed now. I think I have changed pretty much too since the beginning of the year. Working is very different from studying. I am really glad that I've got the chance to work as a dental assistant. I think it has exposed me to so many new scenes. Well, apart from learning about dentistry and the life of a dentist, I have the opportunity to interact with so many patients with different personalities. Some are very nice and genuine in their intention of getting good dental treatment and put laudable effort in improving their oral health and hygiene. On the other hand, there are many rowdy, impatient and furious patients who love to bully the staff in getting last minute appointments. Furthermore, in the process of arranging appointments we do come across patients who deliberately postpone their appointments to sort of accumulate their stains and tartar even more such that they will capitalise more of a dentist effort for the same charges.

Then I learnt about the complicity of managing a clinic. I have worked for 2.5 months now, yet i still find that although the clinic is very small in area, there are so many things that I'm still unaware of. Overall, I am very happy with my current job. Its really an awesome job. I see different things every day - dealing with different kinds of patients on the phone and in the dental chair; logistics, making sure that materials are at healthy stock, ordering from suppliers even taking care of light bulbs and leaking pipes; scheduling for major events such as wisdom tooth extractions which sometimes involves simple surgery and implant as well. Awesome!

My boss actually encourage me to write regularly again. He said that he regretted stopping to write regular journals as he wouldn't be able to look back to the past in a more detailed way anymore. By writing, the writer will inadvertently include his own emotions, feelings and thoughts in that period. I think its quite true, I've been reading my previous posts and I'm still amazed with the development of emotions that each post carry on to the subsequent posts.. :) I'm enjoying myself reading those posts.

Carrying on.... A level results :) I'm extremely happy with my results. After all , this is the maximum results that i can ever achieve after getting 2 Bs for Mother Tongue and PW.. :) Yeah, thats the best i can get for the year of 2009. Well, looking back, I realise that things get very exciting when they have not been revealed. For instances, I was very very anxious before getting my dental assistant job then days before the release of A level results have made me very exciting and even more exciting when I anticipate my name to be called. No words can ever describe my feelings when I waited anxiously when the announcer was announcing the list of students who got 6 distinctions. That anxiety and fear if he she didnt call my name. That anticipation and excitement that she would call my name just blend into one single unfathomable feeling. :) The joy, happiness, taste of victory and satisfaction of all the hard work that I've put in taste incredibly awesome. I would want to relive that moment of victory again :) I want to rewind, wind, wind, wind, wind.

However, few minutes later, I am stuck with disbelief and emptiness. Just as after successfully applying for my job, I start to reflect on the fact that I'll be committing 7months of my youth working and not indulging myself during the holiday that I believe I strongly deserve after a year of crazy roller-coaster in J2.

Just in a blink of eyes, its already time to apply for university. Lots of considerations to be taken into account of.. I think I'll only be applying for NUS as I am pretty sure that I should be able to get into pharmacy course. I seriously wanna do dentistry. Tough choice for the second choice, I would LOVE to study law, but as I listen to my heart, I think I SHOULD study medicine instead. :)
Current list would be:
1. Dentistry
2. Medicine
3. Pharmacy
4. Business
