My Future

First of all, I wanna thanks Ting. She told me she went to the YouTube to search for surgery videos to see whether she herself can tolerate the bloody scenes or not. I suddenly thought of it last night and I went to search for some dental surgery videos.

At first, I chose the video about implanting a tooth after extraction. When I first saw the procedure, especially when the dentist use something like a screw to deepen the hole and so on, I was like "OMG OMG!!! Creepy! Yuck!" Then my mum came in my room and watched with me. We even discussed about it together. Then I watched another video about implantation surgery. The dentist use the small scalpel to cut open the gum. The scene is really bloody. While watching, I kept saying "I don't think I can do it and I think I have to give up." But my mum said I can choose not to do the implantation. Just the tooth extraction and so on. Hey, I was a bit surprised though. My mum is supporting me isn't it? I thought she will ask me to give up instead. I thought she doesn't want me to go for dentistry?

Anyway, until halfway my mum can't tolerate anymore and left. I continued watching and you know what? Just after a while, I think it's nothing to scare about. I was totally fine about it already. I think it freaked me out a bit at first is because I know nothing about the procedures, kind of dangerous and it's people's life okay? No kidding. But I will know once I have learned it, so it should be okay.

After that, I watched the videos for tooth extraction, putting braces and dental injection and so on. Nothing creepy at all. It was kinda interesting! I even imagined myself as the dentist, doing all the procedures I had watched when lying on the bed. But I'm worried about my wisdom tooth. I think it hurts a lot. For the one I watched, the patient's wisdom tooth grew inside the gum. The whole tooth. Only a very small part was outside the gum. It's a molar tooth. Imagine how big is that? I don't want to have that. It must be very painful! =S

Okay! So after watching, I started to search for Universities again. I found Tufts University in US, Mahsa University in KL, Otago University in New Zealand (found this earlier) and also University of Melbourne in Australia. For Mahsa, the entry requirement is kinda low. CCC/ CCB will do. For Otago, Chemistry is a must! The grade should be B and above I guess. I'm not sure about the requirements for both Tufts and Melbourne. I can't find it. But most probably I will need to wait for one year. The application deadline is early. The deadline for Tufts and Melbourne is already over. For Otago, the deadline is this coming 1st of October. Not sure for Mahsa. Doesn't mention at the website there. So I will think more about it after A level.

Mahsa University's entry requirement for dentistry has relieved my stress. At least I know even if I can't get all A for my A level. It's not totally hopeless yet. I can forget about retaking for my AS now. I feel better. So going for which University will all depend on my results now. I'm still thinking to take dental surgery or dental technology? Or dental surgery assisstant which is available in Mahsa, a 2-years course? Most probably will be taking Dental surgery, a five-years course I guess. Dental technology takes only 3 years. Hmmm.... we'll see!

Finished saying about my future. Now let's talk about today, The jogging for today should be off because of the weather and Jong's going to Bandar with his family. But Steven didn't know it's off and gave a sudden visit to my house. Thanks to Jong! I was cleaning my house that time. My brother and Steven then kept asking me to go to the Sungai Liang Recreation Park. Steven said he wanna have a look. They said we will be home early!!! I was being tricked! Ended up doing some exercises and took a lot of funny pictures!

But overall still a nice day for me! Holiday is coming to an end. School reopen on Monday. I'm not going to study today and tomorrow. Gonna enjoy and rest enough before I start to hardcore. So I have studied nothing at all during my holiday! =)

Love Hui ♥
