Must show you guys!! Feel very proud of myself!! Dr tapan gave me 4 for my final waxup! Feels like such a rarity in my rp book =D=D=D For the rest of you, the teeth are acrylic and come in a set, but we gotta do the gums from scratch, and arrange the teeth in the gums (which is a lot more difficult than it sounds, because they're really picky about it. After a while you feel like you really can't tell whether the teeth are even at the same height/angle/space-time continuum anymore). They're carved out of wax and are gonna be transformed to acrylic too. This is on its way to becoming a real denture!On a side note, saw this at city hall yesterday. Think it's part of chingay. Looks quite nice actually. Horsepower to the max =)

Got OBHR?
I got about a little over 2 hours of sleep last night. Stayed up till late compiling, editing, fluffing up, printing the consulting report. Bring on my o level summary skillzz, yo! After that I couldn't fall asleep coz of all the adrenaline from completing the report. Really proud of what our group has come up with...one of the better groups I've had here in smu (excluding the 2 uninvolved foreigners who have done nothing but cause trouble). Here's a little video that we played at the end of our 9 o'clock news show thing. It's supposed to be quite funny. 3 presentations and 1 report down. 3 more reports and 2 dance performances to go! I am Superwoman! (one of my grpmates actually called me this...i think i'm supposed to be flattered.)

What I've been doing in school
Finally have time to post these pictures. It's what we've been doing this term! Dentures, and crowns. Well, we haven't actually gotten to the final product yet, but this is the in between and it's as fun as it looks! =)=)
Jitty and chan came by for lunch =)=) Jitty still looks the same as ever. Once a year is much too little jit!Shiny happy wax =) this entire thing is made of wax, who knew it could get so shiny! Just takes some flaming (<-- dangerous. i've flamed my fingers a coupla times alr, and damn does it hurt), and bit of soap+water. This is on its way to becoming a denture =D=D It's so shiny it already looks like acrylic =D
This is to make a special tray for taking impressions. For making crowns. Reason why i'm showing this, is because aluminium foil is magical! The foil is used to cover the wax base, because the material used to make the special tray sets in an exothermic reaction. Lotsa heat produced, don't want the wax to melt into the special tray and contaminate it. Anyway. When you burnish it and burnish it, the foil turns this dull but white-bright silver, and super smooth, like the kind you get chocolate wrapped in! Super addictive way to spend the afternoon.
Then boon found the silicon putty unguarded one morning in lab.
Hooked onto the magic of replicating body parts, he realized that a finger was not enough! He had to hide in a corner to do this, cos the blue stuff is really expensive. Lab techs always scold us for taking too much. It's a silicon impression material, we use it to take impressions of teeth and stuff cos it's got good detail etc. Then after that you use it as a mould and pour silky rock (the pink stone thing) or whatever in it to make a cast =O
Hurhurhur.
Lastly, smiley face cookie from david for my birthday! =D=D so cheerful! =D=D Feel happy everybody! =D
