FDI

If only there weren't tests next week. Then we'd all be able to enjoy this week of break, because volunteering at the FDI World Dental Federation Congress would have been really fun. Besides my 5 minutes of fame, ushering the Minister of Health and several Drs on to the stage for their speeches, I got to tour the exhibits and collect freebies. All thanks to Sihao and his mastery of Dental Materials that impressed the booth people.

We mostly complained because the event took up time. However, seeing 3000 dentists gather at Suntec, and watching the roll call of countries actually made me feel like I was at the Olympics. Felt a little tingle of pride, especially when the M'sian flag came skating out. It's pretty cool to feel part of a big community, even though I need to brush up on my DM knowledge. It was quite exciting as well, to watch representatives from each country get up and cheer when their flag passed by. I feel a lot more exposed (in a good way) suddenly.

And now I'm all dizzy and deaf from Dbl0. God only knows why I went, when it's totally going to set me back in studies. But it was a BLAST! And now I've 2 new tops from Hula, because I was on a dead mission to get a top to get into the club.
