“It’s a moral responsibility.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

OK, I have to admit that I’m quite excited about my latest status that I have to write one more piece on that. In addition, this is a totally new site, so it’s understandable that I’d like to write more. Well, life after graduation is not simple at all. After we got the exciting results yesterday, we went to the Dean’s Reception, which served champagne. I got one of the cocks and asked Cathy to kindly keep that. Well, she’s a better collector than I am.<\/p>\n

And afterwards there was a perio lecture to attend. No one intended to go initially, but then they said they’d give out a $1,000+ electric toothbrush, so why not?<\/p>\n

Originally I thought there’d be no surprise yesterday — I would pass, so would everyone. Some surprises did surface, but let’s just talk about the happy surprise. Well, I’m honoured to pass with honours, which I didn’t really expect (I mean, we weren’t told how well we did in exams for the past five years). And of course I feel happy for everyone else who spent my BDS life with me, in one way or another.<\/p>\n

And then we’ll have to register for many things (at least three). 1) Register with the dental council; 2) get x-ray licenses; 3) get insured by MPS. And thanks to bureaucracy, they will in no way be done under one roof (unlike Apple’s services). And everything needs to be paid, in cheque, which is very annoying. If we’re truly to contribute to the industry, the first thing should be to fight for more convenience for dentists. Why isn’t a place that can help dentists get what they need from all parties? And, before we expect that, let’s talk something more fundamental. Henry Ho was right — no one at the faculty tells us what to do after we get the temporary certificate. All things we heard are rumours. So..<\/p>\n

*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0*<\/p>\n

And then I have something about this site to talk about (since it got a new design, and a new system). The first thing you’ll notice is the term “theone”. Well, it’s our new codename, “the one”. I have no intention to associate this site with Big Lau’s mall. I just hope to emphasize that this site is “the one” we’ve been waiting for, after all these years. And I want to show my passion for blogging. This blog is not going to be temporary, not to be abandoned. Instead I’ll keep blogging and blogging.<\/p>\n

The reason that I’m so into this is because after more than nine years of blogging, I sense the moral responsibilities bloggers hold. Whatever you write, whatever you publish, someone must read that and get a certain message. And in the age of mobile cyberspace, information flow is so fast that people start to take whatever they’re told without ever digesting the information, differentiating right from wrong. What we write may have a lasting impact on individuals or even the wider community. So we must continue to write, but in a cautious manner. One thing that struck me a lot happened when I exchanged email with some lower year dental students. “‘anzyme@gmail.com’? Are you from LSC?” He asked. I didn’t expect my site is so well-known among LSC, that even a guy four years younger heard of it. And because of this, I know I must continue to do this, with more studiousness and attention than ever. It’s a right thing to do to blog things right.<\/p>\n

Please accept my apology that this article is a bit unorganized. It’s been a long time that I haven’t written so much. Maybe a short summary for today? 1) I love my blog; 2) call me doctor<\/del>; 3) both being a blogger and a dentist mean great moral responsibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
