Went to the annual Dent/Oral Health ball on Saturday. It was lovely to see everyone dressed up and looking so pretty. I had a good time, and I got to sit next to my two favourite people, Meena and Mark Douglas yay. I hadn’t seen Mark in a while, and the first thing I think he said to me on sat was “Oh my god, you look like a disney princess!” I would have been flattered, if it weren’t for the fact that he said the exact same thing last year hahaha. Reusing compliments, lameeee. He spent the rest of the night trying to think of new compliments. It was tough, but he eventually came up with “you look frilliant” (yay pun!). 

Just some of the night’s highlights: the awesome photobooth, watching (and recording) other people dance, first years saying hi, taking heaps of photos, listening to some funny (though at times inappropriate) speeches haha “BOHDS ball, the biggest ball of the year… and we all know everyone likes big balls….”, watching the video made by the first years, and the one made by the second years, smashed lecturers, filling my clutch with gumballs, watching adrian being drunk (lol), rex calling me elegant (even bigger lol), people I didn’t know staring at my dress (biggest LOL)

:)

I had a nice day today. 

We had a ‘free’ prac session in the morning, it’s not compulsory to attend so I got to sleep in and I showed up at maybe 9.30am? Hahaha I think most people came an hour earlier but I am lazy. I didn’t do much in prac, assisted Meena with light curing and passed him composite etc for a while before getting started with sandwiching my 17. 

While I was helping Meena with his Class 3 restoration, where you have to pull it with the plastic strip thingy, one of our demonstrators from last year, Dr. David came over. I don’t know how closely you guys follow my blog, but in case you don’t know, Dr. David is this grumpy old man who was always really mean to Meena and nice to me LOL. In class last year, we were the clueless idiots who always mucked around; not much has changed since then actually haha. Anyway, Dr. David just smirked at us and said that it was very ‘interesting’ the way we were approaching the restoration (we were obviously doing it completely wrong). And then we couldn’t find the light curing thing and it ended up being on my lap and Dr. David gave us this “you two are so hopeless how did you get past first year?” look. It made me laugh though, I miss Dr. David, he’s like the typical old grumpy dude in movies who is actually super nice on this inside. 

After prac, Cheng and I tried to book return flights to Sydney for the convention in July, was just typing in my credit card details when Abba called and told us he’d help us price match. He said that he once paid $45 dollars for a flight from sydney, while the guy next to him paid more than $100. Aba is awesome. Ah, not going to get into flights… Steffi and I are very silly, let’s leave it at that haha. 

Had DPA lecture afterwards; I love George lots because he says the funniest things. How am I finding the subject itself? I don’t like how there’s so much essential reading that doesn’t seem particularly essential in my opinion haha, but I think DPA is probably my favourite subject for this semester. I don’t know why, but I just like it. And it feels great when you finally understand something that you were previously confused about. Not that this happens very often for me. 

I have been wasting a lot of time so I will go now :) 

At church today, Lina asked everyone, “What is one thing you wear every day?”

For many reasons, I have been quite grumpy for the past few days. 

Everything seems to be going wrong lately: my mac died, I had no internet for a whole week, I had to rush my dsc assignment because of this, I didn’t back up my laptop so I lost a lot of my notes, music, photos, I didn’t get a convention ticket in time, I’m sick… And there’s something else, which is bothering me the most, but I can’t talk about it. Not when certain people I know read this. 

I was in such a bad mood this morning; I’m glad there was no one around. I like to be by myself when I’m like this, because it saves people from having to put up with me when I’m askaljghalfgk. All the while the little voice in my head was all like: “Think positive Huyen! Things aren’t so bad” … And then the grumpy Huyen mentally gunned down that annoying chirpy one, because part of me is just so sick of trying to be happy and optimistic all the damn time. 

It’s just too hard. At least it feels like it is, right now anyway. Haha I’m pretty sure the main reason I’m feeling like this is because I’ve got a cold. I haven’t had any medicine though.. I realised the other day that I actually haven’t taken any medicine at all for about 2 years because I like to pretend that I’m tougher than I actually am..

My immunity is super high though. 926 or whatever, according to the blood tests we did last year. Not sure what this is measuring but normally it should be in the 40s. I guess this is why I hardly ever get sick :D Except for right now lol

And yes, although lots of little things have gotten me down lately, at the end of the day, if I look hard enough, there are still so many things that can put a smile on my face: all the cute things my parents say and do for me, getting my mac back, the sun yesterday, SALE$, sleeping in, songs that you just can’t listen to without smiling, having people care about my problems enough to try and help out more than they need to, friends going out of their way to make me happy, funny youtube videos hahaha

I guess what I am trying to say is that I am too young to be worrying about that one thing I can’t talk about. Whatever happens, happens. And even though some things suck now I have faith that everything will work out for the best. 

x

Just for once I would like to be the one who cares less. 

The first sentence of the conclusion of an article I was reading for tomorrow’s quiz:

People are as one of a kind as snowflakes.

Or something along those lines. 

Kind of a really lame thing to say, especially in an orthodontic article about occlusion of all things, but it made me smile. 

It also reminded me to be appreciative of all the different snowflakes in my life… not just the beautiful ones. 

So I haven’t text posted in a while and I thought I’d drop by and say hello and annoy you all with a text post rendition of my usual chitter chatter :) Easter break went by way too quickly and today was back to uni. Meena is still in Melbourne celebrating orthodox easter so I was in prac by myself today. He’s my prac partner and we’re seated in a corner at the back of the class, furthest away from everyone else. It was a bit lonely at first, but I sort of enjoyed sitting back and quietly watching everyone (hahaha a non-creepy way I promise). In all the other pracs we’ve had this year, I’ve never paid much attention to anyone other than my annoying best friend (he’s not really annoying, it’s just fun to insult him), so it was nice to observe people and how they interact with each other, who they talk to, who they don’t talk to, how some people will rush into the room, while others breeze in etc. I also worked with Anastasia today and that was a good experience. She was a great assistant and she’s so nice but I realised that to be able to work effectively and produce the best cavity preps that you can, you have to be pretty comfortable with your assistant. Working so closely can feel a bit awkward otherwise; like a lot of the time I wasn’t sure if I was getting in her way, and I didn’t really know how to tell her when she was in mine. When I work with Meena though, I will  push him out of the way if I need to hahaha and I don’t feel as though I have to rush or anything. Of course Anastasia didn’t rush me at all but I felt bad taking up her time so I rushed myself with the first prep and it turned out pretty terrible. Also, I’d been holding my high-speed at an angle because I didn’t want to tell her to move the suction. My second prep was too far from the contact point (should have checked where the contact point was before drilling woops…) but other than that, Doctor Holcroft (I think that this is his name?) said it was perfect. After prac I put all my equipment into my locker and left my bag and phone by my locker as I went to the bathroom. I was only gone for a minute but when I came back, my things were gone. I thought someone had hidden my stuff as a joke so I searched the empty lockers hahaha I must have looked so like a lost chicken. Ended up asking Colleen who was the only person around if she happened to see anyone pick up my things and luckily she did and then I went to the faculty office (I had to ask colleen where that was because I’m stupid lol) and was reunited with my phone and bag yay

Okay getting way too tired to write properly, goodnight :)

Staying home for the first time this week!

Would you rather be in a permanent relationship or play the field?
I don’t play the field but it’s so much easier not being in a relationship. At least for someone like me.

Denied. 

How many cigarettes do you smoke a day?

What’s on your mind?

Mind is a jumble of thoughts. Here is exactly what is going on in my head right now: hi huyen why are you saying hi to yourself you are so weird and oh you type really fast and your nails are looking good lol are you complimenting yourself right now you are kind of sad well actually you are pretty happy because - 

haha I kind of just backspaced everything I typed after “because”; refuse to finish typing down what I was thinking due to fear of ridicule and further teasing

Last person to get mad at you?

Mum got slightly mad last night when I came home and she saw me wearing a tee when it was really cold

Whats on your bed rightnow?
Bedsheets, blankets (3 because it’s cold), pillows, my toy dog fluffy

Do you ever get “good morning” texts from anyone?
Sometimes.. nothing cute though, just annoying ones where he deliberately tries to wake me up when it’s really early

Do you always answer your texts?
Always; unless it’s Meena and I am giving him the silent treatment because I’m really mature like that haha :)

Are you happier now? Or were you happier 4 months ago?
I’m always pretty happy in general 

Is there someone you wish you could fix things with?
Siblings? I’m used to things being how they are but it’d be nice if they could go back to how they were. 

Are you the same person as you were at the beginning of 2009?
I feel the same but I’m sure some things have changed. 

It’s 4 in the morning, your phone rings, who is it?

Someone who wants to die lol

Do you feel guilty about something right now, if yes what?

Feeling a tiny bit guilty for not studying or starting my assignment but I am convincing myself it’s okay for me because I function best when I’m stressed and I’m stressed when I leave things to the last minute.

No

Yeah

What’s something you do too much of and should stop?
Procrastinate.

What would you say if somebody told you they hated you?
“I hate you too” ? Haha I’m not really sure, people never directly tell someone else that they hate them, because people can already tell if someone doesn’t like them so words aren’t really necessary.  

Would you be able to name everyone you have kissed in ‘10?
Yes. (no one)
