With new year comes resolution

What i have gathered so far to be included into my new year resolution's list :)

Family : I should try to come back home more often, probably no lesser than once a month and especially if there's any special occassion or festival. I am glad i dont usually burden them with lots of trouble and i shall continue to do so.

Friends : I've not been a very good friend, cos i hardly catch up with high school or college mates, and also dont really hang out with my current course mate very much so, NOOOO, i must be a better person and hang out more with them. All in all, just try to be there as much as i can. who knows one day i might need them too.

Love : We're getting older, yes, and as the boy graduated and moved back home, i wont be able to see him as often anymore as i'll be in kl most of the time while he's just here. So, i can foresee some difficulties every now and then. Oh well, lets just see how it goes maybe absence really does makes heart grow fonder?

Money : 2011 was a disaster when it comes to money. For the many many years i've been living in KL, i think i spent the most in year of 2011. Bought a lot of what seemed like very important stuff which i feel is not-so-important to me anymore now. The shopaholic has got to crawl out of me this year. I cant promise to not spend at all, but in dire need to spend more wisely. I think i should try to chill everytime i have the urge to spend on anything at all, who knows maybe just few minutes later i'll calm down and walk out of that shop gracefully!

And most importantly............

Dentistry : Education that is. Believe it or not, i'll be a final year student by march 2012! Time passes by unbelievably fast, i can describe it as the speed of light. No joke. I have to confess that, the amount of classes i've missed in 2011 was way beyond the limit. I felt so guilty, but there're really some classes that i've missed that were like a neccessity for me. All i can say, for any class that i missed at all, i really have my own reason for it. Its my personal issue which i find it hard to share not even here. I know i suck, but everyone gotta have their own secret every now and then, dont they? OK the point is, in 2012, with less distraction*fingercross*, i shall TRY to ATTEND all the classes. I need to be more punctual although i cannot be 100% sure. I need to buck up and do my research properly because i really dont want to disappoint my supervisor, and prof toh as well. I need to also brush up on my clinical skills, soft skills, my knowledge especially!! I need to read more journals that are evidence-based, i need to be wiser. In short, i need to be what a proper dental professional should be!! If i were to have any difficulties at all, i should try to get help, approach my mentor or any lecturers, instead of avoiding and procrastinating what is to be done. Education wise, i have just too many resolutions and changes it just goes to show exactly how bad am i throughout these 4 years. Final year will be short and soon i'll be graduating already, i must make sure i end my BDS in style and with no regret.

Thankfully, after so many years, I am still loving dentistry.
No, truth is, dentistry, I am falling in love with you over and over again :)))
