be great

July 22, 2009

At 630 I had an equivalent of a childbirth experience. Not belittling the powerful act of parturition ;I’m just exhausted. Memo from downstairs: more fibre please. New diet ain’t working out. It’s like delivering a disembodied limb, make that a leg with all thigh and kneecap attached.

In other news, a more palatable one, a mighty day has past. Learning experience yes. I really am fond of AAP Lim KC. Super glad we’re having him as our pbl tutor this term. & I am very sure our group shared the same sentiment.

Went for a jog just. After the simple physically draining toilet experience. This blue mark killed my breath. & I am starting to doubt my optician for prescribing my anemic eyes as 100/100. Why, I am as blind without my glasses. The guys from my class were playing soccer. Met boon, syaz and ken along my way back, they told me. But when I walked around the court i could see only sexy legs and tall guys. No faces of recognition. My failing eyes.

I am really awe-inspired by some of the teaching staff whom I considered myself very lucky to encounter right now in my embroynic phase of dentistry as a career. Their professionalism, their chairside skills, the immensity of their knowledge are simply amazing to watch. They are the model physicians. Some see us as more than students, like almost at the same level and I just feel so humbled by it. We haven’t earn it. yet. Some could see the craziest things i can’t with just the mouth mirror. Some can do those possible things I think impossible.

I see this boundless chasm in between and all I can feel right now is that it is so difficult from the way I am now. All i can see is my limitations. And will I ever rise up to their and my expectations. I need to pay more attention. I need to keep my head down. I really want to be like them. Not just scrape by dental school and scrape by a living.

I hope I evolve, pronto.
