the age of innocence
The age of innocence refers to the time when I was sucked into dental school....year one 2003....fresh out of army with my brain still intact but not a lot of knowledge left due to the seepage. There I was signing up for the dentistry orientation and little did I know what it soon was going to be and yes I had a disastrous hairdo The things that came out of my mind when i thought of the first year in dentistry were orientation and intense mugging........and of course innocence......innocence in that truly it is just the beginning of a lot of bad things to come....... something I was really proud of in year one was that i was eligible for a distinction viva for physiology....what a surprise it was at that time my sophomore year is next
(me and my only friend at that time--Bran.....and gf and dennis tiong behind us) - note the melancholic glum faces we had, sort of like an omen of how the orientation was going to be....lol
there we were at the dental auditorium where we changed into our military bootcamp uniform and started learning the dental anthem......more about that later....being the slacker me and the flying under the radar policy, I am at the far right....lol
after that, we were separated to our orientation group and we named ourselves "Void" - gosh what a uncanny and scary relevance to dentistry.....We were last in almost all the competitions cos being the slacker and uncompetitive us with the exception of Jon, the rally wasn't enough....lol.....and did I say i had a disastrous hairdo
Look at all these people, why are they all sleeping???? Can you spot me beside Robin...lol....Oh man those were the days
We as a bunch really enjoyed sleeping a lot......
A little pep talk before the actual rag performance where i had to dance this insanely fast dance. It is probably the fastest dance yet for all the many years of orientation I have encountered.....Miss Pep talk - Elaine became my line senior.....
Of course at the end where all of us were happy orientation was over but little did we know that the real nightmare was about to begin.........If you cant really find me, I was the only guy whose face was painted freaky silver with a joker hairstyle....this is as good as it gets, no upclose shots of that....
