Floor Festival is finally over....

My life this week was basically in a halt as i have spent most of my time in the floor festival....

Thursday..... no class in the morning and only work in the clinic in the afternoon..... treated a new patient with heavy calculus.... horrible experience..... his deposits are just too heavy for the electronic scaler to remove..... the normal hand scaler was working way too slower... i was left with no choice but to use the heaviest cumine scaler to break the chunk off..... i have worked for almost 2 hours but i can only get those supragingival calculus out.... still got a long way to go.....

Friday... more or less the same as Thursday, no class in the morning.... was in a severe holiday mood already.... kinda regret calling the patient back on this day..... i got a new patient on the day (who happen to be quite pretty as well.... got so much 'attention' from my colleagues and tutors....), i was working unusually efficient that i have completed the examination and treatment planning in one single visit...... Feeling great~

Friday night... went BBQ and hiking with my floormates..... have a festive BBQ dinner (later found out it's quite a bad thing) and start hiking from "Big Wave Beach" up to the "Dragon Ridge"....... it's only a 12 km journey but as we all got full stomach and the temperature was way too low for a comfortable walk, we are also unlucky enough that during our walk it starts to rain.... not gently but like hell.... we are all soaked and was shivering in the cold night..... the good thing is that we have all made to the summit safely... we stayed there for some chat and went back to hall.... it's really crazy..... i am now out of sleep for the whole night and i am going to sleep soon.... gotta wake for the 'new year's eve dinner' with family at 6.... write soon~

Absence~

Was too tired on the lovely Tuesday morning that i finally decided to skip the PBL lesson...... my mobile kept ringing through the day as my tutor is searching for me.... nevermind... just leave it after the Lunar Holiday.....

Woke and start cooking for the function of Floor festival..... tried a lot of new cusine on that day (coz i dun need to prepare for the material and i'm not the one eating them actually ^^).... made some tasty meatball finally...... The night was a joint floor function and my partner is Wendy.... it's quite a memorable night~

Wednesday.... morning lesson with Dr. Chu..... have to tolerate his not-so-funny jokes all through the lesson..... was way too sleepy to concentrate on what he had taught (if any~)......

Was summoned by Dr. Dyson last night... have no idea what's that all about, my initial guess would be my failed exam or my attendance record.... turns out that he wanted to see me to see how i am doing with my patient.... gosh.... waited for him for like 1 hour before seeing him for 2 mins...... gosh.....

I am kinda sleepy now but i'll have floor function again soon at night..... wish me luck... i dun wanna die yet.....

Newbie....

Have the feeling that i am back to my year 1 life again....

Seemed to have known nothing.... treating my patient with my manual laying all across my desk.... somehow feel that it might be a better attitude to learn than pretending that you know everything and screw up all the things....

It's a full day clinic today.... morning... finally doing a new patient.... i found making a good diagnosis and treatment plan require a lot of consideration and chatting with patient.... which is something that i'm still learning.... glad that i have a nice tutor who's willing to explain.... (though he likes to keep us late for lunch)

Afternoon, disaster in LA clinic... dunno why Dr. Yu was absent for our class... that led us to have Dr. Eugene Chan as our tutor for the day..... i never have any good impression towards this guy.... and which i am quite justified to have such view...... he is not as devoted as my previous tutor..... he said he'd like to share our folders (under the guidence of Dr. Yu) to his own group of pupil as we have done quite a good work in it.... doesnt that mean he admits his inability to teach his own student??

After the clinic.... went back to hall for the floor festival again... today is day 2 already..... gotta hang tough.... i am too sleepy now.... shall write soon~

Busy weekend.....

Sigh.... the more i wanted to get down to study, the harder and further before i can really reach that goal....

Saturday, was in a very bad mood as i was woken up by my floormate quite early in the morning (around 10 am) to join a hall function, the sports carnival, which to me is no more than stupid games and a chance for the hallmates to get bitchy over some others' affairs..... anyways, i did attend as i feel i should fulfill my duties as a senior in the floor....... well... some games and one whole evening spent in a windy sports field...... Hot pot later that night.... and that end the day (one more activity actually, MJ later that night.....)

Sunday... once again, suffered from lack of sleep..... woke early to watch the EGM and campaign of the WUS next chong..... nevermind.... dun really expect too much from them anymore.... just hope that they'll enjoy their chong life.....

Went to Westwood and buy food for the coming joint-floor function... went back to hall and try to experiment my 'invented' cusine.... meatball and stuffed lumaconi...... hopefully it will be fine.....

Night.... floor festival.... took me all night.... and is very tired right now..... better sleep soon before something disastrous happen tomorrow.... i'll be having full day clinic tmr...... write next time~

Concert time

O well.... dunno where to start with.

Chose sleeping instead of class in the morning, having a good tutor in the clinical session in the afternoon, but somehow my performance was sub-par.... creating an amalgam core preparation instead of finding the canal..... was the last to finish the clinical stuff..... well.... kinda get used to it already....

Went to watch a interhall ball match today, feeling great to see Sally there as well..... unfortunately our hall lost by 2 to 4.....

Afterwards started a long journey heading to Hung Hom for concert..... during the course me and Ceci had a stop in TST for dinner.... it's just great that i dont have to worry about what to eat/where to eat as we both deem it quite unimportant....

Sun Yan Zi concert..... what can i say.... Her singing is real great, she looks great as well..... but then more can be done to make the concert better, the costume, the stage design etc..... but i must admit some scenes are quite remarkable though (especially the UFO made with mirror~)
Spent some real great time there (i now knew that Horus and Kevin was there as well~)

Went to Mong Kok and enjoyed a little walk in this energetic distract..... grabbing whatever we can buy in those "Snacks Bar"..... great~

Just overall speaking, as the name of Yanzi's song suggest, today is really a "完美的一天"

One song from her concert.

不是真的愛我 - 孫燕姿

你和我就算了嗎 別用沉默代替回答
陌生的讓我害怕 心像被針扎了一下
總是不提那句話 不是不懂的表達 
還在等什麼說清楚吧

我想你不是真的愛我 習慣被忽略不算自由
相愛的人總是不懂 為什麼真心傷的特別重
我想你不是真的愛我 當體貼漸漸受到冷落
其實愛也有很多選擇 我也可以給你自由

終於明白那句話 愛能讓人一夜長大
不成熟的感情啊 讓我變的小心害怕
我和你就算了吧 不想再為愛掙扎
愛情若沒有火花 至少了解後懂的放下

我想你不是真的愛我 習慣被忽略不算自由
相愛的人總是不懂 為什麼真心傷的特別重
我想你不是真的愛我 當體貼漸漸受到冷落
其實愛也有很多選擇 我也可以給你自由

我想你不是真的愛我 習慣被忽略不算自由
相愛的人總是不懂 為什麼真心傷的特別重
我想你不是真的愛我 當體貼漸漸受到冷落
其實愛也有很多選擇 我也可以給你自由

Shrugging....

Word of the day: SHRUG

raise and drop shoulders briefly: to raise and drop the shoulders briefly, especially to indicate indifference or lack of knowledge

Kinda like this action lately.... especially useful when you got nothing more to say on an issue.

Have a relatively light day today..... woke up around one and briefly downed a quick lunch before going out..... nearly late for class today...... my bewitched (more approiately known as cursed) Endo case of my patient (the Re-treatment turning Tri-Retreatment and receiving sub-par clinical care's poor 14....) was finally over, i have completed that tooth and started another (possibly less complicated) endo case..... Thanks God........

Finally gaving in on the attendance.... this module is 5 days....

Skipping the Ortho lesson... i am now about to get back and see my patient now (kinda stupid for me.... should not ask the patient to come back on this day.....)

Sleepless nights~

It's currently 7am on Thursday morning... once again, and like the previously weekdays in this week, i have gone sleepless at nights (doesnt mean i didnt sleep, but i catch my sleep in the afternoon instead)..... pretty bad habit, but i have no other choice~

Wednesday lesson.... pretty normal, and my performances in preparing crown has catch up with the remaining of the class (still bad though~). Was so sleepy when listening to the tutor instructions......

Afternoon.... went back home and possibly farewelled my brother, who is leaving on the 20th and i guess i will not have the time to see him before he leave, so take care my brother, Au revoir~

Decided to go to Stefanie's Sun concert on Friday.... great expectations~

Stress...

Have been under tremendous stress level for this 2 days.....

School as usual on Tuesday..... endured a very long and boring practical presentation in the morning and then have the tutorial lesson in the afternoon.... though i have prepared something for the lesson already, i still found doing solo on the learning issue very hard (especially when the tutor is demanding enough~)....

Went back to the Hall directly afterwards and took a nap..... and later that night was the mid-year evaluation for the floor..... this year it's really a very different MYE for me.... probably because now i am the senior there, i have to do the point out the insufficiency of each floormate such that they knew about it.... that's hard because i have to be very well-balanced and consider on how they'll react to my speech..... guess that i made a pretty good job that night....

Only able to fall asleep at 5 in the morning.

Once i woke this morning (Wednesday), i glanced at the clock and it reads it's almost 9..... rushed and even called my classmates to notify them of my late before realizing i was awoke at 8... i mistakenly thought it's already 9..... that's why i end up poping so early in the library now doing my blog..... i only have morning lesson today and i'm quite sure i'll have a good long nap before tonight's MYE again~

Shall write soon

Life is not easy~

O well.... enjoyed a day of surprise holiday today (as my faculty has held a conference on dental updates, all school today has cancelled)..... finally becoming a bit productive in my university life.... i start doing preparation for the first time in two and a half years of study time for the PBL case..... start to respect those who turn up with tonnes of self-made notes in class, how can they possibly spend so much time doing such a time consuming work?? I am now trying to squeeze 3 years of study into 1..... am i ever going to succeed?

Participated in a soccer match today, 7-a-side, for the dental interclass competition...... luckily we won by 1-0......

Scroll through my hundred-paged winamp playlist and found something funny..... i was actively searching for a song on the net that i already possess...... well.... that's surely one of the problem of indiscriminative download of mp3.

Got several movies from my friend, surely i am going to have a happy study season.

Wanted to watch "memoirs of the Geisha"

The Caveman....

After a long day of hunting and wandering, a man starts to get tired and he decided to hide in a cave for some rest and time to clear his mind..... that is supposed to be a good thing but then he became so detached that he start to lose contact with the outside world, he doesnt even care at first..... but then, the time has come..... through one enlightening moment and the caveman realized that living an idle life in the cave is probably not his mission..... and he decided to pack up all his loads and take another journey, so he finally step out of his isolated, protected paradise and head for challenges again.

Somehow when i am writing this..... i imagined myself being that poor caveman...... I am about to change....

Nice dinner i had with James, Kathy and Jonathan tonight. Teppan Yaki in Mong Kok...... non stop eating afterwards.... life is great here in Hong Kong (probably influenced by my brother, who's in town right now from Toronto, the ghost-town-after-six...... how lucky we are~)

I still hate beer.... but i am drinking more and more often, why?

Karma.

Karma is, you sin, therefore you go to hell.

Karma is, you do good, therefore you go to heaven.

Karma is, you work, therefore you get your result.

Karma is, you are being lazy, therefore you are not good at anything at all.

For me,

Karma is........ not studying before exam, therefore i failed.

Needless to explain.

These few days have been spent quickly...... simply school and sleep, quite routine..... Went to have lunch with Ewing on Wednesday in Central.... Finally finishing the long-should-be-done Endo case on my patient on Thursday.... Full day of class on Friday...... Got scold in clinic...... Pretty much the old way......

Really look forward to meet my friends on Sunday.

PS. Have to think of a new study regime.

School started.....

O well...... was in a very bad mood as i feel deprived from my holidays......

School has started for 2 days already~ (and luckily i still maintain my 100 percent attendence up till 'this' day)......

Full day clinic on Monday.... feeling totally exhausted..... was in a bad form that day, probably owing to the fact that i havent even touched the instrument for months already.....

Afternoon, LA clinic..... first time engaged in minor oral surgery (worst still, that's on my patient)..... Surgery is really cool stuff~ Must read more about that when i have time~

I'm about to sleep now..... shall write again soon~

From my friends~

真正愛你的人:

真正愛你的男人,是... 吃剩下一半的麵不要浪費,他會接過去幫妳吃乾淨的人。
大冰腳貼在他大腿弄暖,他即使很冷,也不會把妳腳踢開的人。
一起去大賣場買東西,總是比妳多提兩大袋,還要空出手牽妳的人。
逛街,總是從頭到尾『良性勸導』妳不要亂花錢的人。
妳生大病,他卻比你還要辛苦的人。
出門前,妳相信他的眼光多於鏡子的一個人。
吵完架做錯事,還會厚臉皮跑來牽妳手的人。
沒事一定會窩在妳家,有事還是窩在妳家,讓妳開始懷疑他是不是沒有朋友人。
最喜歡看妳開心的大笑,然後也對著妳傻笑的人。
漏接妳電話,就會打爆妳手機的人。
最害怕聽到妳啜泣,只要聽到妳哭,還是會不辭千里的飛奔到妳身邊的人。
偷偷的為妳做了很多事,卻從來不和你邀功的人。
已經認為自己的手臂是枕頭的人。
膽敢會和妳搶遙控器,最後卻只能陪妳看慾望城市的人。
老是可以讓周遭好朋友感到好奇的人。

給男生:

真正愛你的女人,是...
真正愛你的女人,真的會很小氣,眼裏容不下一顆沙粒。

真正愛你的女人,會不停的嘮叨你,其實那是對你的關心。
真正愛你的女人,不喜歡你有什麼事都自己一個人承擔,那樣她會更加擔心。
真正愛你的女人,是你最需要她時候,常裝著莫不關心,卻溫柔地問你沒事嗎?
真正愛你的女人,雖然不知你喜歡什麼,但也甘心連夜親自織一條頸巾,摺一大樽的星星...
真正愛你的女人,經常想致電給你,卻怕自己太煩擾。
真正愛你的女人,在你面前常亳不在意,其實她十分想知道你的心意。
真正愛你的女人,只要你輕輕摸她的頭,已經甜絲絲。
真正愛你的女人,雖然相隔,但她會空想你與她的將來而傻笑。
真正愛你的女人,無論你傻的笨的,也覺得你很酷。
真正愛你的女人,在你傷她心後,會在睡覺前想起你而且不自然地流淚。
真正愛你的女人,想告訴你知她的心意,但是卻步,因為怕失去你。
真正愛你的女人,是很多時不會叫你名字,她會叫你死人頭、傻瓜、喂...

Post Exam + Life back to normal.

Well...... dont know where shall i start writing in this journal.... It's been one whole week (and a little bit more) since i last visited here.....

First wish everyone of you a Happy new year and also make it a productive one~

I can simply summarize my previous days into 3 periods, the Pre-exam period..... the period that i once thought i will spent most of my time studying but then turns out to be the most glamorous lifestyle i have to date...... everyday's routine is just wake and gaming and then eating then fall back to sleep again..... study?? not anywhere close in my agenda...... it's probably one of the few weeks that i lax myself so much that i almost lost track of time...... i did in some point worried if i should head back to study... but once considering the cruel fact that dentistry is never a subject of knowledge i turn my head back on my games..... to sum up..... this period is like a compensation to my usually packed schedule.... feeling so relaxed~

Exam Period..... i did not read a single page before heading to the exam centre..... somehow feeling lucky that i was in a very advantageous position because of the structure of the exam..... it ask about some simple question that it's so obvious that even for a student without study (like me) can know it..... and for the harder part, it's the killer question..... i guess nobody can score more than 10 percent of those mark.... that's the best layout..... probably can even lift me on par with those high achievers in my class...... lucky~

Post-exam period...... it's my so called 'semester break'.... but i only have 3 days for it before heading back to work (just 5 hours later)..... i spent it wisely on sleeping and gaming, moreover, Brother is now back in HK and i have spent sometime with him..... Went to MK for shopping with him on Friday, then the family gathering for Grandpa's birthday on Saturday, on Sunday i found James and Lo Kai for a chat in MK..... that concludes my day......

It's another new semester already and i have already been through half of my course.... blessing? curse? i dunno..... all i knew is that i gotta spent some time seriously on study before something more tragic happen......

By the way, i guess once my life get back to normal, i will write here more often, keep visiting~
