dental usm - 17th batch Alhamdulillah. things went well. the result was announced yesterday. and guess what?? yess you guessed it right - i managed to survive dental school! later than most people at my age, but who cares? i did it! broken and bruised but i win the game.  it feels good, at the moment (at least). i know it is 'thousands miles away' ahead, but i'm proud that i have move a little bit forward from where i was. it is truly a journey. well, if i would put some of the highlights to the years.. first year - the adaptive year. failed professional examination 1. second year of first year - another adaptive year - of losing friends. and knowing new friends. second year - i lost my father. third year - the feels of first time treating a real patient. heck. terrified but i did dentures for my own mother. it looks good on her. thanks to En.
