This is Called Weekend Syndrome August 26, 2008

I woke up this morning with a very strange feeling. I felt as if i were on Saturday morning that i would have more time leasuring on my bed before i were fully awake. Maybe it was because of my dream before, hmmm… i won’t tell what my dream was about but the point is, i was very very happy when i woke up. Now I am just hoping that my dream will come true:)

I didn’t work a lot today, i planned my RPD (Removable Partial Denture) patient at 12 o’clock for observing her oral lesion and making her personal tray. In fact i couldn’t make the personal tray without supervision, so i just checked on my patient’s lesion, and alhamdulillah, it was better.

I joined two orthodontic journal discussions on the morning. The two topics were quite attractive. The first one was about pain in orthodontic treatment, and the conclusion was USE ANALGESIC! hahaha! The second one was about using guidence appliances for kids early dental treatment. So, kid (age around 5-12 years old) who tends to have maloclusion, such as over bite, protrusive, open bite, and so on without any severe skeletal maloclusion can use this appliance to guide the maxila and mandibula development so they may not need any orthodontic treatment after all (indications and contraindications required).

At 2 pm, I joined “clinic in action”, it was an activity for the freshmen. My role was as team 5 supervisor. I didn’t plan to be high temper but I just went with the flow and my temper raised, hahahaha! sorry guys;p. Okay, the scenario was the freshmen have to simulate filling a tooth cavity using GIC (Glass Ionomer Cement, it’s a material filling) and i had to supervise them. I was a little upset because noone in my team had finished his/her homework about GIC, and the moved very slow, so lame:( So, no wonder none of them could finished this task. Overall, it was fun! Kinda refreshing, hihi…

And now, as always, online, blogging, browsing etc on my very cozy bed in my sweety greeny bedroom

Just me, my laptop, my tv playing cheesy serials, and those cute mosquitos having french kiss on my body:(

til late at night

Am I ready to date again? August 25, 2008

The answer is YES!!

hahaha!

As always, I droped by Riska’s blog (observing my little pretty niece) and found a link about blogthings. I interested in “are you ready to date again?” and the answer is yes. It’s pretty funny since I don’t even think about having a new relationship this early. No, I’m not heartbreaking! absolutely no! I’ve passed those moments and I’m totally fine now, but it just… hmm…. I don’t know, maybe I’m not ready yet, not ready to trust someone again. So, the answer surprised me, hehe…  

There are many funny quizes in this website, I’ve tried some. I always like this kind of psychological test, sometime’s slightly same but sometime’s different. I just take it for fun, nothing personal and it’s not same as zodiac, so I think it’s okay.

Okay, now your turn to try and share in your blog guys!

Sariawan August 21, 2008

Kali ini gw mau berbagi sedikit ilmu yang gw dapet dari kuliah gw di FKG. Banyak orang yang sering ngalamin luka-luka putih yang perih banget di dalam mulut termasuk gw. Sebenernya apa sih itu? kita sering sebut itu sariawan. Kalau dalam ilmu kedokteran gigi ada istilah tersendiri untuk penyakit tersebut, tapi saat ini, anggap aja namanya sariawan. Oke, sariawan yang mau gw bahas yang bentuknya bulet-bulet, putih, dan agak ceruk ke dalam. Kalo ditanya penyebab sariawan jenis ini, ada banyak jawabannya karena sangat tergantung dari masing-masing orang. Kalo gw, penyebabnya itu  anemia karena gw biasanya sariawan setelah “dapet”. Penyebabnya yang lain bisa karena stress, genetis, infeksi, kelainan imunologis, kelainan pencernaan, kelainan hormon, dll. Karakteristik dari sariawan jenis ini yaitu selain dari bentuknya yang udah gw sebut sebelumnya, sariawan ini juga muncul tiba-tiba, gak kegigit, gak kesodok sikat gigi, yah timbul gitu aja. Tapi biasanya intervalnya tertentu atau muncul sesuai dengan penyebabnya. Sariawan ini seringnya dialamin sama anak-anak atau usia dewasa muda.

Kalau ditanya obatnya apa, bisa dibilang gak ada obatnya, karena ini jenis penyakit kronik, obat-obat yang beredar di pasaran cuma untuk ngilangin sariawan ini aja tapi sewaktu-waktu bisa muncul kapan aja kalo faktor penyebabnya gak diilangin atau dihindari.

Nah, yang saat ini gw rasain adalah sariawan yang penyebabnya itu karena luka kesodok sikat gigi plus karena makan lays dengan rakusnya. Gusi belakang gw yang jadi korban keganasan cara makan dan sikat gigi, and it’s freaking painful! aaarrgghhh!! Tapi, sariawan kayak gimanapun gak bisa menghentikan kemampuan makan gw yang sangat tinggi, hari ini gw tetep aja makan siang dengan hasrat tinggi dan porsi yang sangat banyak sampe cukup bikin gw hibernasi sepanjang sore. Tapi kayaknya besok sariawan gw makin parah dan gw harus makan pake bubur aja, karena mulut gw gak bisa dibuka terlalu lebar dan gigi belakang gw gak bisa dipake buat ngunyah karena bakal nabrak sariawan-sariawan gw yang bejibun itu.

Doakan gw jadi agak langsing setelah penyakit sariawan menahun gw ini sembuh yaaaaa…

 

Mohon koreksinya kalo ada yang salah dari penjelasan gw:)

In Thailand..

I ate a lot

I shopped a lot

I walked a lot

 

I meant.. really a lot!!!

Pertama, makanan di Thailand itu enak-enak banget, terutama jajanannya. Memang kalo untuk makanan berat, Thailand itu salah satu surganya babi dan walaupun sangat menggiurkan, alhamdulillah gw tetep bisa ngerasain makanan enak lainnya tanpa unsur babi. Jajanan di pinggir jalan kota Bangkok itu bener-bener beragam dan bersih, dari mulai gorengan sampe buah-buahan. Thailand memang negara yang sangat memajukan pertaniannya bisa diliat dari buah-buah yang ada di pinggir jalan, they were totally juicy, sweet, fresh and tempting! Heaven of fruits! Selain buah, cemilan yang lain juga enak banget, kayak kue sus kecil-kecil, ketan mangga yang di sajiin pake satu bunga anggrek ungu, cantik banget!, dll

Untuk belanja, Thailand memang paling bisa manjain perempuan, harganya miriiing banget, di Platinum(Semacam mangga dua nya Jakarta tapi versi lebih bersih, lebih dingin, lebih rapih dan toilet sekelas pondok indah mall) kita bisa dapetin baju model apapun yang kita mau, seru banget! Harganya juga udah  murah banget jadi kalo mau nawar gak perlu keterlaluan, maksimal bisa turun 100 baht, walaupun sangat jarang bisa turun harga banyak, beda kayak salah satu pusat perbelanjaan di Beijing yang ngasih harga pembuka 10 kali lipat harga jual, bener-bener bikin emosi belanjanya (gw bisa beli tas seharga 50 Yuan yang awalnya dikasih harga 4000 Yuan, keterlaluan…). Belanja di Bangkok memang bikin kalap!

Seperti biasanya di luar Indonesia, gw sekeluarga memang biasa jalan kaki ke mana-mana, nyobain transportasi umum daerah setempat, termasuk di Bangkok kemarin. Naik bis, jalan, naik perahu, jalan, naik taksi, jalan, naik kereta, jalan, naik tuk-tuk,  jalan, jalan, jalan, dan jalan…. selain jalan-jalan di bawah terik matahari yang nyengatnya bikin perih, jalan muterin Platinum untuk belanja juga sangat bikin betis gw tegang dan tumit gw nyeri, tapi biarin aja, gw sangat nikmatin semuanya…

Satu yang gw kurang suka dari Thailand adalah orang-orangnya kurang ramah, gw gak mau bilang semua orangnya gak ramah, tapi memang sebagian besar gak ramah. Orang-orang yang kerja di apartemen tempat gw sekeluarga nginep ramah-ramah, supir taksi baik hati di hari terakhir gw jalan-jalan juga ramah, tukang penjual pearl tea pinggir jalan di Pratunam juga ramah, dan beberapa lainnya. Tapi sebagian besar gak ramah, supir taksi di sana biasanya gak mau bantuin ngangkut barang masuk ke bagasi, tugas mereka cuma dibalik kemudi, cukup buka pintu bagasi, injek gas, jalan…. dan lain-lainnya kayak penjual, petugas pintu gerbang istana.

Oke, enough for tonight, I have to study for tomorrow discussions, wish me luck:)

I’m leaving Jakarta! August 13, 2008

23 hours later, i’ll be leaving Jakarta to Bangkok! Senangnya bisa liburan di tengah kepenatan klinik yang mulai terasa tensinya:)

Jadi, gw gak akan blogging for the next few days, but I hope on next Tuesday, i’ll be able to share my vacation story here. Waow, can’t wait:)

Gw selalu menilai Thailand itu negara yang sangat eksotis seperti negara2 tetangganya, Kamboja, Vietnam, Laos. Gw juga gak ngerti kenapa gw nilai begitu, mungkin karena baju penari-penari cewek thailand yang seksi aduhai dan gerakannya yang lembut atau karena waria-warianya yang terkenal kece melebihi perempuan asli. Bisa juga karena pantai-pantai indah yang bahkan jadi setting film The Beach nya Leonardo DiCaprio. Atau karena sistem pemerintahannya yang berupa monarki dan bahkan diangkat ke dalam film Anna and The King. Berarti memang ada banyak alasan gw menilai Thailand itu eksotis. Gw jadi sangat gak sabar untuk ngeliat semuanya sendiri, kecuali bagian nonton tarian cewek-cewek Thailand itu. Gw pernah nonton temen-teman Thailand gw nari di APDSA (Asia Pasific Dental Student Assoiation) Malaysia tahun 2005. Di 10 menit pertama gw masih tepuk tangan setiap mereka selesai satu sesi tarian yang lamanya sekitar 4 menit per sesi. Tapi mereka muter2 terus dengan gerakan yang nyaris sama dan lagu yang sangaaat pelan sampe sekitar 6 atau 8 sesi. Bener-bener dari tepuk tangan sampe nguap-nguap:(

Okay, see you on Tuesday

Happy long weekend and Happy Independence Day for Indonesia:)

Ten things about me August 12, 2008

I found something about “tag” on someone’s my space account. She is a new singer from America, her name is Cathy Nguyen.

Here are the rules:
Once you’ve been tagged, you have to write a blog with 10 weird, random things, facts, or habits about yourself. At the end, you choose 10 people to be tagged, listing their names and why you chose them to be tagged. 

Don’t forget to leave them a comment “You’re It!” and to read your blog. You can’t tag the person who tagged you. Since you can’t tag me back let me know when you’ve posted your blog so I can see your answers.

 

Here we go…

1.       I am going to be a dentist but I feel nausea when I see blood flows. I have no phobia of blood but I don’t know why I become like that. I realized it when I was in the middle of being an assistant while a dentist was trying to pull out a tooth. I couldn’t stand that.

2.       I am so soooo sloppy, I almost drop my food or my drink every time I eat. I can’t even bring a bag of eggs while I accompany my mom having grocery shopping. If I do so, I’ll at least break one egg!

3.       I can’t watch horror movies since I don’t want to be scared at home. I am often alone at my house so it’s better not to have any imaginary creepy-spooky-images of anything in my mind

4.       I sleep better with my lovely-hunny-bunny blanket. This blanket has been with me since I was 9 years old, no wonder it has many tear

5.       My family is my very best. So, I am little sad now because we live separately. My dad and my brother live in BSD and the girls stay at Pesanggrahan. It’s all about working, nothing’s to do with any domestic problemsJ

6.       I eat cakes a lot! Specially chocolate cakes. I love it! I can eat a lot of pieces and never enough. Harvest, Dapur Coklat, Seven Grain, Cheese Cake Factory and Tee box are great!

7.       Having 12 children is my passion. Cheaper by the dozen huh?

8.       I have a superstitious that there will be no goal in a football match that I watch. Because I almost never see a goal, except the slow motion one that have been replayed

9.       I can play a song that I like thousands times on my itunes or my phone until I get sick and never play that song again. For now, since last Thursday, I’ve been playing Lucky from Jason Mraz feat. Colbie Caillat 80 times and I don’t seem to stop listening that song soon

10.   I love the smell of rain when fall to the soil. It’s so fresh and bring my high school memory. Love it love it love!

  And people whom I want to share are…

1.       Lulu. She is a good friend of mine. Her life is like a novel, maybe I suggest her to write a biography later. I know her very well but I just want to know more about her now since we haven’t got together for such a long time.

2.       Masita. She has a blog and I think she’ll like this tag.

3.       Agnes. She’s a very nice friend but unfortunately we rarely spend times together.

4.       Sarah. She’s one of my good friends as well. But I think she was little introvert with me at high school, so I am willing to be acquainted with her more.

5.       Riska. She is really a dear friend and a great mother too. My relationship with her was quite uncomfortable, more or less, it was a misunderstanding. But we become close after graduated. I wish to know more about her life now as a wife, as a mom, as the way she is now.

6.       Mbak Unik. She will become part of my family so I really want to get closer with her. But unfortunately, she rarely online.

7.       Arie. She is so unique, she has her own contemplation and I would like to know her ten things

8.       Nisa. She is online as often as I am, I think this tag is good for spending her time waiting her Oncin to come

9.       Ulli. She has a blog and I like the way she write. I used to know her as a very good friend, she can be very joyful and sensitive as well. But as far as I know, she is very supportive and truthful.

10.   Friends, whoever you are! Yes, I want to know 10 things about your random things, I really do!

silly things happen August 11, 2008

Kejadian ini terjadi waktu beberapa minggu yang lalu, atau sekitar 1 minggu setelah suatu hari-yang-mana-gak-mau-gw-inget-lagi-tapi-selalu-keinget-untungnya-udah-gak-terlalu-dipikirin. Oke, situasinya adalah di dalam mobil, jam 7 pagi, di lapangan parkir kampus tercinta. Gw baru sampe di kampus, asisten transportasi udah kongkow2 di pos satpam, dan gw masih dalam keadaan gundah-gulana. Entah gimana cerita awal mulanya, yang gw inget, gw nangis sejadi-jadinya, sekeras-kerasnya, sepuas-puasnya (yeah, i know it’s kinda creepy but helloooooow?? i was brokenhearted!). So, when i’d cried out loud dengan sepenuh jiwa raga, telp gw bunyi (what??!!). My patient called me..

Pasien (P): halo, dokter?

Ade (A): iya, ada apa xxx (gw ganti nama pasien gw untuk melindungi identitas diri dia)? -mengatur nafas baik2-

P: Nanti siang saya ke sana ya dok?

A: iya (mengontrol suara lebih stabil…)

P: Ini dok, gigi belakang saya sakit, kemaren tiba2 patah, kenapa ya dok?

A: -diem-

A: -diem-

A: kok bisa yah? ya udah nanti gw liat dulu

-jawaban bodoh, gw yakin ekspektasi pasien gw lebih dari itu, but hey?? as i said, i was brokenhearted and i had just cried everything out loud! how could i think about a broken tooth when my heart was broken as well??!!!-

Seandainya gw juga bisa kayak pasien gw, pagi-pagi nelpon seorang dokter…

Ade (A): Halo dok?

Dokter (D): iya, ada apa?

A: saya baru patah hati dok, kira2 kenapa yah?

D: ????

A: truss gimana dok? bisa ditanam pasak aja agar lebih kuat menahan problems load?

D: ????

A: truss dipasang jacket untuk mengembalikan fungsi dan estetis

D: tut tut tut tut…….

A: ???? aaaaaaaarrrgghhh!!!

Siangnya gw harus menghadapi pasien gw itu dan sebagai seorang (calon) dokter, gw gak mungkin menunjukkan emosi di depan pasien gw. Gw dituntut harus selalu tenang dan stabil. Aneh kan kalo kita masuk ke ruang dokter, truss dokternya curhat dan nangis-nangis, “kamu, tau semua laki-laki itu berengsek! berani-beraninya niggalin saya gitu aja! saya capek hidup seperti ini, saya mau ke surghaaa.. aaaah!!” dan mungkin kalo boleh ngambil quote dari dei a.k.a ardiani luki pratiwi, gw akan bilang “santai kayak di pantai dok!” atau quote dari oncinnya nisa, “asik kayak di tasik dok!”, atau quote salah satu merk minuman kesehatan terkenal yang selalu memasang miss tercantik seluruh dunia, “healthy inside, fresh outside” (oke, gw tau semakin gak ada hubungannya…). Back to the topic, lalu gw melatih kemampuan akting gw, gw harus membuat pasien gw ngira kalo gw menempatkan masalah dia jadi masalah terpenting yang gw hadapin, we have to give our best for each patient. Even i kept asking WHY inside but my hands was still doing their job nicely:) Thank to the mask that covers 2/3 of my face!

cheers,

Perut penuh August 10, 2008

twisted candle

I woke up this morning and i felt totally full! Gw lupa apa aja yg gw masukin ke dalam perut gw sepanjang hari kemaren dan tetep gw bangun dengan hasrat yang sangat besar untuk ke kulkas dan makan my parent’s anniversary cake! what kind of stomach do i have??????

Last night was doing okay, mom was surprised. Sebenernya gw agak salting sepanjang hari kemaren cos i have to avoid my mom all day long and i giggled most of the time. Gw bisa liat banget mama bete sepanjang hari karena gak ada yg ngucapin happy anniversary bahkan  papa cuek secuek-cueknya. hihi, sorry mom! Finally mom said to me and my lil sist on our way to the restaurant lounge “kalian keterlaluan, hari ini kan ulang tahun perkawinan mama kok gak ada yg ngucapin?” but we acted like two idiots, hahaha!

I could see mom was so flatterd when dad came and gave her a bouqet of red flowers. It was nice seeing them…

We continued our dinner and then parents talked about “that plan”. I couldn’t believe that finally my family came to this kind of step talking about “that thing”. Time does really fly! I came to realized that there were so many things to be prepared and we were clueless. Well, bring it on! I’m so thrilled!

cheers,

August, 9th August 8, 2008

I always love weekend, specially Friday nite, but I missed that last night. Yeah, I fell asleep at 5 pm until a few hours ago, til 3.30 am precisely. Waow, what a sleep! Then, i stay up until now, blogging and playing spider solitaire. Actually today is a special day for my family since it’s my parent’s 27th anniversary. I, my bro, and my lil sis have a surprise for mom and dad. Tonight, we’ll have a family dinner with Mbak Unik’s family (my bro’s girl) to talk about something that I can’t talk but I know it’s obvious (hahaha!). I had ordered a cake for my parent and it will be served in the middle of our dinner. We also bought a bouqet of flowers for mom that will be given by dad. My mom is a romantic person and my dad is a contradiction, so we set everything up and my dad will be just the executioner. I found it was difficult to stay calm when i met my mom this morning since i was always excited at any celebration things so it’s pretty hard to shut my mouth up. Well, pray for tonight, can’t wait for tonight…

cheers,

Spongebob August 7, 2008

Spongebob is one of my favourite characters. I love this square little yellow thing because of his point of view of life. He always cares about his surroundings. He loves his friends very much and he is also really into everything he has to face. He almost happy at anything, and always takes easy of his problems, even when he lost his pineapplehouse. He only sad when it comes to his friends, such as Gery, Squidward, Patrick, and his spatula. He always wants to please everybody and very loyal to his job. Watching his behaviour everymorning on my way to school is become my favourite things, it’s so funny. Last, i love his giggles and I tend to laugh like his;)

cheers,
