 “Who are you thinking about?”

Startled out of my reverie, I shifted my gaze from the couple under the same umbrella outside the cafe, to Samantha. She eyed me suspiciously, her eyes filled with curiosity. 

I shook my head lightly. “Why did you assume it was someone?” 

“Because you had that foolish grin on your lips.” Samantha smirked.

Agape, I covered my mouth with my right hand, not realising my face had been an open book.

“You don’t have to hide it, you know? I know you love him, right?” 

I braced myself and intertwined our gazes. I could see my flushed cheeks reflected in Samantha’s eyes. I stared out at the rain again. The couple with the umbrella was nowhere to be found. They must have headed to their cozy home, I thought. 

“I don’t think I love him, but,” I took a deep breath and put my hand beneath my chin. “Whenever he’s around, it’s not like I’m having a bad day, but with him, my chest feels so much full, my steps light as a feather. Whenever he talks to me, time is just a concept and unrealistic. All that is real is God put us at the same place to have this conversation. I thought, I want to make him laugh, I don’t want him to go, I don’t want this to end.” I looked at Samantha right in the eye, letting my guard down. “Even when I’m not talking to him, just seeing him with his friends, watching him talk to his patients, watching his back towards me, all these simplest things filled my heart with indescribable joy, an otherworldly feeling. It’s not just those butterflies taking flight in the stomach kind of thing, I feel that calmness wash over me, the constant pulse that’s been with me through it all. And when I go to the supermarket, I picture us grocery shopping together. When I’m enjoying a view, I want him to see it too. When I’m home, I want him to walk around in the house and still look familiar. I want to see him awkward in front of my parents, not understanding our inside jokes so then later I have to explain it to him. I want to explain it to him because I want to feel needed. And I just-,” my voice stuck in my throat, my breath hitched. Samantha reached over and touched my hand, giving me an encouraging smile. 

“It’s calm, isn’t it? A real love,” asked Samantha.

I realised there were tears in my eyes when Samantha looked blurry across from me. “Yes.” I nodded several times. “I’m falling so fast and I can’t stop. It’s like I’m on a rocket going to outer space.” I wiped my tears with my other hand before I said, “We’ve known each other for so long and it’s like one day, when we were talking as usual, everything just makes sense. My heart started to flutter. I noticed too much of him that I’ve never before. It made me reminisce every moment we shared in the past. I tried to analyze my feelings back then and wish I’d cherish them more.” 

“You could still cherish the future,” said Samantha, reassuringly.

I smiled, thinking time was on my side. “I will definitely cherish the present.”

Setelah lama menyepi di ruangan blog ini, saya rasa janggal nak mulakan topik perbualan baharu. Ibarat macam berjumpa semula dengan kawan lama setelah berpisah. 

Hari ni saya nak ceritakan tentang kepentingan menghantar anak-anak ke klinik pergigian. Berdasarkan pengalaman saya sendiri semasa kecil dan pengalaman merawat pesakit kanak-kanak, kita seringkali memandang remeh tentang kesihatan mulut. Buktinya, berapa ramaikah di kalangan pembaca yang menghantar anak untuk rutin pemeriksaan gigi? Kalau saya bukan pelajar pergigian pun saya tak sedar akan kepentingan pemeriksaan gigi. 

Secara lazimnya, kanak-kanak dibesarkan di bawah penjagaan ibu bapa. Mereka belum mampu berfikir untuk menjaga diri sendiri dan membezakan antara perkara yang baik dan buruk untuk mereka. Apatah lagi kanak-kanak yang ligat bermain dan hyperaktif.


1. Membawa risiko pada keadaan gigi kekal 

Banyak kes kanak-kanak yang patah gigi disebabkan jatuh. Mungkin bagi sesetengah kita, gigi patah tu takkan menyebabkan apa-apa. Cukup sekadar kita pantau sakit tu hingga surut. Tapi sebenarnya bila gigi susu mengalami trauma, boleh membawa padah pada gigi kekal di bawahnya. 

Seperti yang kita maklum, gigi kekal akan menyebabkan akar gigi susu terhakis hingga lama-kelamaan gigi susu akan goyang dan tercabut. Apabila gigi susu mengalami trauma, berkemungkinan gigi kekal di bawahnya akan bergerak dari landasan yang sepatutnya menyebabkan akar gigi susu tidak reput. 

Apakah bahaya sekiranya akar gigi susu tidak reput? Ini akan menyebabkan gigi kekal tumbuh di luar susunan gigi. Bila jadi macam ni, gigi kekal kita tak cantik. Lebih-lebih lagi gigi yang selalu terkesan disebabkan trauma ini ialah gigi depan dan memainkan peranan yang besar dalam paras rupa. Kita perlu ingat, gigi kekal kita akan kekal selamanya (kalau tak reput dan sebagainya). Bermaksud, kalau kita nak ubah keadaan gigi tu, kita perlu mengeluarkan kos yang tinggi untuk memakai braces (sebagai contoh). Jadi, bukankah lebih baik sekiranya kita ke klinik gigi sebelum terlambat?


2. Gigi susu tidak mahu goyang

Antara perkara yang lebih kurang sama dengan kesan di atas, ada sesetengah kanak-kanak yang gigi susu mereka tidak goyang hingga gigi kekal dah tumbuh di belakang gigi susu. Kadang-kala perkara ini tak boleh dikawal. Bila perkara ini terjadi, gigi kekal akan tak sekata. Jadi, bagi mengelakkan gigi kekal tidak tersusun cantik, ibu bapa sepatutnya menghantar anak-anak ke klinik gigi untuk cabutan gigi susu walaupun gigi susu tersebut belum betul-betul goyang.

Umur untuk gigi kekal bahagian hadapan untuk tumbuh adalah pada umur 7-8 tahun. Sekiranya anak-anak sudah meningkat umur tersebut tetapi gigi susu masih kuat, ibu bapa amat digalakkan untuk membuat pemeriksaan gigi anak-anak. 

Mungkin sesetengah dari kita tak kisah akan susunan gigi, tapi bila gigi kita tak sekata, akan menyebabkan kesukaran membersihkan celah-celah gigi. Apatah lagi gigi bawah di bahagian hadapan sering menjadi tempat pembentukan karang gigi. Boleh baca keburukan karang gigi di sini.


3. Gigi kekal lebih kuning berbanding gigi susu

Perasan tak gigi kekal anak-anak lebih kuning berbanding gigi susu? Perbezaan ini akan nampak lebih ketara bila gigi kekal duduk bersebelahan gigi susu. Gigi kekal yang kuning bukanlah suatu perkara yang merisaukan. Warna putih tidak semestinya perkara yang paling baik. 

Sebenarnya, secara semula jadi memang gigi kekal lebih kuning. Hal ini adalah disebabkan lapisan luar gigi yang dipanggil enamel adalah lebih tebal pada gigi kekal. Lapisan enamel yang lebih tebal ini adalah satu ciri-ciri yang bagus untuk melindungi daripada reput dengan cepat. 

Oleh sebab itu, pentingnya ibu-bapa untuk membuat pemeriksaan gigi anak-anak bagi memastikan sekiranya warna kuning gigi kekal itu adalah normal atau ada masalah yang lain.

4. Gigi susu lebih mudah reput 

Seperti yang dinyatakan di atas, gigi susu lebih mudah reput disebabkan lapisan enamel yang nipis. Apakah kepentingan menjaga gigi daripada reput? Ini adalah penting bagi mengelakkan reputan gigi semakin besar hingga ke akar gigi. Apabila reputan sudah mencecah akar, jika gigi itu masih boleh diselamatkan berdasarkan struktur gigi yang tinggal dan berapa banyak akar yang sudah reput, doktor gigi akan buat rawatan akar pada gigi susu. 

Kenapa nak buat rawatan akar? Kenapa tak cabut saja? Sekiranya gigi tu masih belum goyang dan akar belum reput hingga separuh daripada panjang akar, pilihan yang terbaik adalah untuk simpan gigi tersebut.

Hal ini adalah bertujuan untuk mengelakkan gigi sebelah daripada masuk ke ruangan gigi yang dicabut. Kita tak nak gigi susu di sebelah masuk ke ruangan tu dan memakan ruang untuk gigi kekal daripada tumbuh. Ini akan menyebabkan gigi kekal tumbuh luar daripada susunan gigi.

Tambahan pula, gigi yang reput boleh menjadi sumber jangkitan kuman. Anak-anak akan mengalami kesakitan hingga sukar tidur. Sebagai ibu bapa, sudah tentunya kita kasihan akan anak-anak, betul tak? Oleh itu, pemeriksaan gigi berkala amat penting untuk memastikan gigi dirawat dengan cepat. 

Buat masa sekarang, sampai sini saja coretan perkongsian tentang kesihatan gigi kanak-kanak. Sesiapa yang tinggal di sekitar Kuala Lumpur atau Selangor yang berminat untuk menghantar anak-anak bagi pemeriksaan gigi boleh hubungi saya di sini. Saya merupakan pelajar pergigian Tahun 4 yang sedang mencari pesakit kanak-kanak. Jasa baik anda untuk menyebarkan berita ini amat dihargai, terima kasih :)

 

Do you ever love something bad that nobody else loves? Like a dirty stray cat at the back alley? Or a smelly food? You just can’t help but embrace it with affection despite how unpleasant it is. That’s how I feel about this book.

I claim myself as a picky reader and the number of 5 star books I rated can be counted with my fingers. But then once in a while, I stumbled upon a book that is more suited to be on Wattpad than on a bookstore (just a metaphor) and I had so much fun reading. It reminds me that sometimes reading isn’t about educating yourself, it can just be an entertainment, something to take your mind off of and that is enough.

I don’t know what I did, but it had to be something, because when you find everyone hates you, it’s not them. It’s you.


Punk 57 is about Misha and Ryen’s friendship as pen pals in grade school. They exchanged letters for 7 years without the idea of how the other person looks like and never meeting each other despite living just a few minutes away. The relationship was jeopardized when Misha’s letters came to a halt and left Ryen wondering what did she do wrong. Did Misha move on and outgrow whatever they had during their childhood? Did Misha find somebody new?

In the meantime, there’s a new guy in school, Masen who’s getting at Ryen’s nerves all the time. Ryen, the perfect and popular girl, the cheerleader with no space for brains, is determined to get back at Masen for all the shame he puts her through, only to develop feelings for him. Duh.

Eventually we all have to weigh what we want more. 

 

The summary of the story does not do the book justice. It’s much deeper than that. It deals with sexual harassment, rape, bullying, loneliness and abandonment. I wouldn’t say this book deals with the issue in the most realistic way but it does shed some light.

He’s a reminder of what I want to feel every day, whether it’s with him or on my own.

CHARACTERS

I love how this book is relatable to a lot of people especially high schoolers. There are some books I would’ve enjoyed more if I read it at a younger age but in this case, I can still relate to Ryen a lot. I love how she’s not the typical nice and timid main girl. She’s mean and a bitch to a lot of people. But as the story progressed, we get to see how much she changed and finally embracing her true self and accept her as who she is. For me, the transition doesn’t feel forced and the pace is right.

Masen on the other hand, is a red flag. If you know one in real life, RUN. He was horrible and despicable to Ryen for no reason in the beginning. No matter how many times he justified his actions, I will forever hate him for it. At one point, he was manipulative toward Ryen. I hated how Ryen had to take all the blame. Even so, Masen can be sweet sometimes. He has two sides like a coin. Sometimes he says just the right thing to make everything okay and the next he’s threatening you with a pair of scissors. Literally.

I have no life there if you’re not in it. You’re part of everything good I’ve ever done.

The side characters; Ryen’s group of friends are horrible. They are the popular clique at school who got away with everything. I enjoy the drama between Ryen and Lyla. The way they hate each other and stab behind their backs. It was a wrong thing to do but I’m here for the drama. chews popcorn

My favourite side character would be Ten and J.D. I love Ten because he seems like a genuine nice guy and he was always by Ryen’s side no matter what but at the same time he can be fun too without crossing the line. 

RELATIONSHIP

There are many kinds of relationships being discussed in Punk 57 other than the romance between Misha and Ryen. It deals about friendship and the relationship with family. 

In the story, Ryen had been distant from her older sister and mother ever since she became popular. In a way, she hated her sister for reminding her how lonely she used to be. I love that towards the end of the book, Ryen had started to spend more time with them even though it was only briefly mentioned.

I wish I got to see more between Misha and his father. Their relationship became rocky after a tragedy and being men, they’re both too ego to handle their grief openly. But in the end, Misha came around and we can see how he actually cared about the only family he had left. 

I can’t wait to live all the days I’m going to live with her.

Speaking about relationship, despite having a good chemistry between Misha and Ryen, their relationship is toxic and abusive. Especially in the beginning. Towards the middle of the book, there are A LOT of hot interactions between them. And even the way they settled a conflict involves skin to skin contact which really did not solve the conflict at all. But there are times when I found them cute like when Ryen helped Misha wrote songs together, when Misha performed on stage at prom singing a song for Ryen and when Ryen passive aggressively hinting for Misha to ask her to prom. That’s why they frustrated me so much because I don’t want to root for them because it’s toxic but they’re cute too.

WRITING STYLE 

I would totally recommend this if you’re looking for a fast read because the writing style is pretty straightforward and it was written in the first POV. The chapters alternate between Ryen and Misha’s POV. So, the reading experience feels more natural and easy.

Rate: ★★★★☆

 

Pernah dengar tak terma rawatan akar gigi atau dalam bahasa Inggerisnya root canal treatment? Rawatan akar gigi ni selalunya dilakukan bila gigi kita dah terlalu reput hingga melibatkan pulp gigi.


Tujuan rawatan akar gigi dibuat adalah untuk buang bakteria dalam akar kita supaya penyakit tak bertambah teruk. Kalau bakteria tak dibuang, akar kita jadi tempat bakteria membiak. Kalau dah teruk nanti boleh jadi bernanah kat gusi dan mungkin boleh jadi bengkak pada muka. 

Bagaimanakah rawatan akar gigi dilakukan? Dentist akan tebuk lubang pada gigi (kalau gigi tu belum berlubang) kemudian gunakan alatan yang dinamakan file untuk bersihkan akar gigi. Lama jugak prosedur pembersihan ni, dan selalunya tak sakit jadi pesakit selalu tertidur.

Lepas akar dah dibersihkan, akar tu akan diisi dengan bahan dipanggil Gutta Percha ke dalam akar yang dah kosong. Kenapa pentingnya perlu isi akar yang kosong? Ini adalah untuk elakkan pembiakan bakteria yang boleh masuk dari hujung gigi. 





Lepas akar dah diisi, gigi akan ditampal jadi cantik macam dulu. 


Apakah tanda-tanda rawatan akar gigi diperlukan? Kebiasaannya, individu yang memerlukan rawatan akar gigi mengalami tanda-tanda seperti berikut:
- Gigi berubah warna 
- Gigi mengalami kesakitan dan ngilu
- Kesakitan mengganggu ketika tidur
- Gigi mempunyai reputan yang besar
- Tampalan gigi sudah tertanggal 

Untuk lebih pasti, sila rujuk gambar tertera. Kadang-kadang, walaupun gigi tu tak sakit, tapi gigi tu masih perlu dirawat kalau ada tanda-tanda yang lain untuk elakkan penyakit bertambah berbahaya. Tak semestinya pada waktu sakit sahaja anda perlu berjumpa dentist ya. 






 Berapakah kadar bayaran rawatan? Untuk jawapan ni perlu hubungi saya untuk maklumat lanjut. 

Kalau anda ragu-ragu dengan pelajar pergigian, jangan risau sebab untuk setiap prosedur akan dipantau oleh pensyarah yang berpengalaman yang merupakan juga pakar. 

Kenapa perlu buat dengan students? Pertama sekali, kalau buat dengan student amat menjimatkan kos berbanding dengan buat kat klinik luar. Kalau pergi klinik kerajaan perlu tunggu lama, tapi kalau buat temujanji dengan student, boleh walk-in terus. 

Lagipun, student boleh belajar untuk kendalikan kes klinikal bila ada pesakit. Kalau tak ada pesakit, macam mana kitorang nak belajar? Bila dapat belajar, barulah dapat jadi dentist yang bertauliah bila dah graduate nanti. Jadi, kami sangat-sangat hargai anda yang mencari kami untuk rawatan. 

Jika anda mempunyai tanda-tanda seperti yang saya nyatakan, sila hubungi:
