Simplicity

O well.... i must admit that this title has nothing to do with my entry..... i'm too tired to think of new title everynight (and i hate having repeats, though sometimes it still happens)..... just wanna put a word i love there..... Simplicity. Maybe this world will be a better one if it goes accordingly.....

Alright, school today, doing a technician job..... all i did in the whole afternoon is to take X-ray, X-ray and even more X-rays..... there are this kind of lesson every year (sounds like their department are highly undermanned and need the student to help there.....) looking back at my days in year 2, i will still make every X-ray like a piece of artwork, perfect angulation, perfect exposure (but sometimes shit still happens, you know) but totally neglecting what is the most essential, the patient communication..... and now i guess the patient will see me as a more relaxed and willing-to-help operator than just a machine doing all the work faultlessly.... in spite of my relaxed attitude, i can still achieve more than 90 percent of work correctly done and keep the patient satisified, which i think is really good..... afterall it's a good lesson for me to do something that i like to do (instead of bounding to the routines that is giving stress to both operator and patient) (sometimes it's just nonsense to stick to all procedures, eg. how possible can we expect a young child to bite on the bitewing holder where she can only barely accomondate the film?)

Afternoon went to meet with Kevin, who came back from Australia last week..... great times with him tonight coz you're my friend who are willing to hear me talk.... too bad you're leaving this soon, hope to see you soon.

My friends in hall will soon be leaving tomorrow, i'll miss you all, thanks for the great times we shared over the past 3 years. All the best to you all.

PS. To Jeff: you got a point, the characters in all seemed stereotyped in "Crash"... but maybe it's quite an appropiate way to express that everyone do have their reasons behind all of their actions? Maybe we can talk more about it when you're back, will you be arriving on 22nd of Aug?

PS3. When can i start my special project? It's so lovely.

PS4. Song of the day. Just heard it on MTV channel.

Love Story - 范逸臣

愛的故事有很多 你一定聽過
她們說 最美的愛情像湖泊 
美的忍不住停留 而任性的風
吹過了 卻飄下一片片葉落

放開手 往北方走
留下傷心的樹獨自忍受
妳離開我連一句話都不說
只默默看著今晚天空星光閃爍

看今夜的流星
劃過了天際 笑我的心
我無法再冷靜
請妳要傾聽 妳是我的唯一
我不願去相信
我們之間 隔著海洋的距離
我的愛 已融化在空氣裡

Crash -ed

Alright.... this week is totally crazy.

I cant stop thinking about fatalism again..... do you believe that if somebody are bonded by fate, their path will cross someday, no matter what? I suddenly have such feeling this week..... after realizing that i am a total loser (especially after reading Jame's email.)

Finally start giving tutorial again.... just found out i have forgotten all the geography stuff..... i am totally confused about those settlement and population thing..... gotta read them again.

Skived my lesson today..... went to watch "Crash" (Don Chadle and Sandra Bullock).... pretty good movie with a lot of tension, the story itself is rather simple, it orients around one motorcycle accident... but then all the related party is somehow interconnected..... the prejudice between black/white (more appropriately among all ethnical minority) is the central theme behind this movie...... It is a simple, but yet touching story.... i especially like the role played by Don Chadle, his role as a tragic hero really touched my heart.... I have no regret in skiving my lesson for this......

Was too tired that i fell asleep nonstop and missed dinner with SPOC family.... hope to see you again soon~

School resumes

O well.... i am once again in the library typing my blog.

Cant not focus myself today... maybe it's due to the holiday mood (i think i deserve a break after the exam) and also due to the fact that the world cup is playing everying night till 5 am.... that probably explain why i am like this.....

Just wanna sleep.... so badly.... cant resist the tought of sleeping.....

well, i shall write soon after my class is over.....

Went for dinner with family last night.... so glad that some small gifts can make my cousins happy..... if money can truely buy happiness, i am sure i'll spent all i have on them.....

I shall soon be giving tutorial again, that's good.

To Chris: It's a small world afterall, how do you like HK's disney? When'll you be free? Maybe we can catch a drink soon?

Wonderland

What a fantasy trip to wonderland..... i was back from Disneyland yesterday.....

It's such a nice place (of coz you cant compare it to other disney like Japan or the states... but then it's still great)..... met so many of my beloved cartoon characters......

Though it's such a hot day yesterday.... it didnt deter me from trying out every ride in the park... it's got so many surprises on every ride.... The shows are great, the rides are fun, and the firework at night is just fantastic..... what more can i ask for?

Suddenly wanted to watch all the disney cartoons again.... i feel like being a child again, maybe that's the best thing about visiting the disneyland.....

My wish.... to visit disneyland in Japan and the states soon.... (of coz i want to go to the HK one as well~~)

Free

Okay, I am finally freed from the pressure of exam (at least for now)..... i knew i didnt do too well in this exam, but nevermind, i do have my plans, as long as i end up being more or less the same as my classmates i shall be satisfied.....

Went for gaming with Horace today after the exam...... cant believe my old habit of hanging out in internet cafe was so vividly marked in my memory...... but now it's just too good to be true..... just $20 bucks for 4 hours of play? it's even cheaper than me hanging in my own room (considering the air-con expenses).... but there's an opportunity cost, i could have revise a few chapters of book in those hours.... which is priceless....)

I feel once again ready for the books again.

I'll go to disneyland a few hours later, hope it's gonna be a fun trip~

PS. To those who're still having exam..... all the best, and trust in yourself.

Fatalism, or not.

I am the one writing my own DESTINY.

4 hours to go from my last exam.

7 hours from the time i am free.

Um.......

I wish i am still in my year 1.

Time passes, and there is no point regretting about it.

But anyways, do live life fully.

PS. Congrads to Lo Kai who has received a wonderful offer, please remember to buy me a good dinner when you get your salary next month ^^

PS2. When me and Lo Kai hang out in Mong Kok yesterday, i feel that life is just like a dream, we were there 3 years ago still worrying about the University offer.... and suddenly, just like a fast-forward, and we are still there, but this time only planning for the career and future...... Maybe that's life? Dont know when'll the next time i have such feeling.... maybe it's when i am 28 or so, once again planning for my life?

Deprived from sleep~

It's so dangerous to 'operate' oneself when he/she doesnt have enough sleep beforehand.

Nearly got my finger sliced into half..... scary..... and also numerous times of missing the bus stop coz i doze off..... well.....

Was on a shopping spree lately..... got almost 2 dozens of VCDs..... probably can last me through the summer~~

Work out in Gym today with Lo Kai.... it's really been some times since i last went there..... enjoyed the feeling of exhausting, but yet satisfactory....

Finally can get rid of my ID card, i have applied for the smart ID already~

Just too tired, probably i'll write again soon~

Exam is coming again....

PS. I shall soon go to Disney Land.... so great ^^

Happy Friday.

Finally got my computer upgraded, and it's now with a good speaker and sub-woofer system, feeling great~

Friday, was on a short trip to tour around Wan Chai and Central.... visited so many places and found out some new spots for fun..... so nice~

Never realize there are so may toy shops in Wan Chai, and shops with great decorations are so abundant on my way to Causewaybay... also, Lan Kwai Fong and SoHo are a totally different place in daytime, but no matter what, it's with a special allure even in daytime~ I love the merry-go-round in the park in elgin road and the cats that live there..... hope i can see them again soon

Spent the night with my ex-floormates having hotpot in CB.... great time spent, and it's good that i can see them again real soon~

Finally find a companion for my lovely puppy 'rowgy'.

Saturday.... done nothing actually apart from having dinner with family.

PS. It seems that i can now start to get rid of my world cup obsession.

Some inspiration.

Was still on my 'Sophie's World' last night..... read something that i feel like sharing.

"Carpe diem" - Latin. Translation, "Seize the day"

"Memento mori" - Latin. Translation, "Remember that you must die"

These two quotes are the philosophies in the Baroque period, it's the time when the ephemeral natural of things are being noted.... all the beauty that surrounds us must one day perish..... this is so true indeed.... my friends, do seize your chance and treasure your day, for we dont know when we'll leave this lovely place, but be sure that you dont leave any regrets when that day unfortunately happen.

Living in Shadow

It's time i exert some self control.

Lovely dinner with my O camp groupmates and group sons and daughters.

I must admit that i am with weakness.

World Cup~

There is nothing else on my mind except for the World Cup... Have done nothing this weekend....

Thanks Hon Ki for this joke about World Cup:

此項四年一度,為期一個月的活動,可以讓你和男朋友發生許多不可預計的事。所以你首先要知道一些最基本的知識:

1.今年世界盃在德國舉行。

2.比賽時間在晚間至凌晨舉行。

3.今年最有機會奪冠的分別有巴西、荷蘭、意大利,和你男朋友支持的隊伍。

4.英格蘭球星是有碧咸。但如果你告訴你男朋友,你喜歡林伯特或謝拉特,你男朋友會較開心,因為他會覺得你是喜歡有實力的人,縱使那人並不靚仔 ─就如自己的情況一樣。另類選擇是英格蘭前鋒高治。你告訴你男朋友你喜歡高治是因為他「得個高字」,你男朋友會笑得很愉快~

5.請不要在賽事中途說「都唔知點解,十幾個人追住個波走黎走去」,你男朋友一聽絕對會發火,小心。

6.往後一個月,你男朋友只會記得今晚及明晚賽事的時間和對賽隊伍。請不要在此其間考他記性,例如,問男朋友記不記得六月份的某一天是什麼日子。就算那天是你們的拍拖紀念日,也請不要問,因為如果他答你「十點鐘,巴西對荷蘭!」多麼傷感情!

7.雖然是委屈了你,但四年一度,請你原諒。你最想見到男朋友的時間,通常就是開波的時間。你男朋友會盡力安排時間的。四年一度,你將就一下他吧。

8.續上題,你最想和男朋友通電話的時間,通常亦就是開波的時間。

9.如果,你男朋友興高釆烈和你說一大堆外籍人名、戰術分析和專業術語,再加上事後孔明和馬後炮,四年一度,聽他說說吧。不明白也不用問,因為他也不知道自己在說甚麼。你只要聽完給他一個「你好叻喔」的表情,世界盃後你就會有美妙回饋。

10.你見到男朋友的時候,他都是未睡醒的。不用問候他,世界盃後自然會復原。

11.如果你男朋友支持的球隊出局,也不用太擔心他。每隔四年他支持的球隊都會出局,他習慣了的。

O well, that's quite true~

My first 2 exam is over by now..... not too good, still have plenty of room to improve.... i will not be surprised if i have to resit for any of those paper again in August.... but nevermind, i have chosen that myself.

Delighted to have spent the day after exam (friday) with my classmates. X-3 is a really fabulous movie...... and it seems that my shopping spree is already turned on.... got some new CDs and a new T-shirt that day.

Saturday..... day for rest....

Sunday, woke up really late in the afternoon (forgive me, it's the world cup after all)..... no soccer match that night but instead went out to chat with Kennon and Ewing..... learned so much from them, really brilliant people~

By the way. Happy Birthday to my Dear Brother, who is born on 10th, June, 1978. May you a happy life and successful career, you're always my most respected idol.

Mum and Dad has left for a trip in China, guess i'll have some free time this week~

To Lo Kai, i guess we'd better meet soon before i forgot how you look.... it's been ages since we last met!!!

It's so glad that i saw my puppy 'rowgy' has found a new, comfortable home ^^

Okay, it's already Monday morning, it's about time i gather myself and do something productive.

Song of the day, have been listening to thise over the past 2 days:

要知道你的感覺 - 陳曉東

你的雙眼 為何讓我那麼留戀
喔~ 我還不累
我不想結束 越夜越美
你是否為我擦了香水 你今天的笑好美
牽著你逛了長長的街 真喜歡你在我的身邊

我要知道你的感覺 是否也不想睡
不想結束這一天 捨不得說再見
愛是一總直覺 你看我的視線
喔~ 很特別

我要知道你的感覺 不要急著防備
我想你會答應我 下一次的約會
愛是一種機會 快樂都是加倍
喔~ 我要把你留在我的世界

Suicidal bomber~

If 2 days ago Kamikaze operation is still with some sense, i am quite sure tomorrow's exam will be a whole lot more nonsense (pretty much like those suicidal bomber)

Tomorrow, i can no longer hide my lack of knowledge.... but i am not going to think too much about it.... i am already planning for the free days i will soon have~

World Cup!!!

PS. "畢生也願記起 香港迪士尼 煙火璀璨夜晚定會很美"

Kamikaze!!!

Count down: 9 hours

I am on a mission.

An impossible mission indeed.

All i have with me is just courage and will.

I shall die in honour.

PS. Are there any shrine for the 'hero' like me? Are there any afterlife?

Brighten up

I still got tonnes to read before my exam.... but now, all my fears are gone; instead, they are replaced with my own intention for study....

I am not going to think much about my upcoming exam.... as i have already prepared for the worst (resit for exam)... and in life, there are more important goal for me to achieve.

Thanks for all the encouragements, i looked forward to the days after exam.

PS. I now find Orthodontics a rather interesting subject, i never know before reading the textbook.

Distracted.

I dont want to give up..... I dont want to miss a thing....

A whole lot more faith and will is required.

I'm intoxicated, reliant and weak.... I want to scream, i want to chat..... or maybe i just want to talk....

Works in the physical world seems never ending, but in my mind is focused....

I'm tired, when will all these end?

Last days...

Everything thing do have their limit.... there must be times that they'll end someday....

Been to the last class of BDS 3 (more appropiately, last class before exam).... it's already been 3 years since i arrive at this very special faculty...... um.... i guess it's about time for me to think of what i have done and learnt during these days......

Having the farewell celebration for the brothers who are leaving the family of RC Lee Hall soon.... time flies, and memory stays. Bon voyage, my buddies and hope you the very best in the coming future~

Nice chat with them on Friday night..... another sleepless night..... now realizing that what you do and say is always closely watched by others.... including this very place where i place my thoughs... i have never think of installing a 'checker' to keep watch of who have been reading my post.... well, no matter who read my post is not going to change my way of thinking, and i just dont want to guess what others might think of my post after they read it..... this is just creating trouble for me....

Sometimes, a tiny bit of alcohol can tie people much closer together.... it just gives clarity to your thought since it give you the excuse of forgetting the troubles that you have...... nice chat with my floormates on numerous issues, religion, politics, goals in life, just about everything..... (still remember the days in year 1, when like 20 people just cramped in my room to do such chatting) great to see the 'junior' in the floor can start to think of the future of their own.

Got news that the senior resident of RC Lee Hall is soon going to be quitted from the hall in order to make room for the exchange student and some more freshmen.... um.... no comment on the policy as i believe they are rational enough to do things for a reason.... i havent got news that if i can stay or not.... but, what if, so unluckily that i have to quit RC next year.... there are still things that i havent completed or achieved, especially i feel that i could have done more in the educating of the junior brothers in my floor..... just hope that i can stay and still have the time to learn from each other.

Kennon: Got your message, there's nothing better than people understanding the thoughts that you have. I shall continue to make the floormates grow by the influence that a 'senior' have. All the best in your upcoming 'challenge' as ADO as well.

Song of the day, finally got the CD of hers:

Safe in a Crazy World - Corrinne May

I try to smile my tears away
I try to keep my cool
Oh but one more doors gets in my way
I feel like such a fool
Trampled and bitter
My heart just wants to bleed and stop
Believing in me

It feels like nothing is for certain and that nothing comes for free
When they're lowering the curtain to the theatre of my dreams
I stumble and I crumble and I'm sinking to my knees but you
You cradle me

You keep me flying
You keep me smiling
You keep me safe in a crazy world
You understand me
Embrace my fragility
You keep me safe in a crazy world
And in your arms I find the strength to believe in me again

Noise keeps chasing me
No matter where I go
Oh and life likes pretending that it's on a TV show
When it's hard to tell what's real
From what the world just wants to preach
You are the voice I seek

You keep me flying
You keep me smiling
You keep me safe in a crazy world
You understand me
Embrace my fragility
You keep me safe in a crazy world

'cause when I'm wrapped up in your arms
Nothing else can touch me
What a wonderful way to recharge
I feel like I can breathe again

You keep me flying
You keep me smiling
You keep me safe in a crazy world
You understand me
Embrace my fragility
You keep me safe in a crazy world
And in your arms I find the strength to believe in me again

Growth

Just have the floor's End-year evaluation tonight... Everyone, it's time to grow.

Notion of tonight, based on the experience i had in La Salle, "Genius always existed. And you are a genius in yourself, only depending which field are you specialized in." LaSallian, do trust in yourself and seek your own value, you're going to shine someday, somehow.

But obviously, i am not specialized in dentistry and handling relationship.

Hope for the best, and always prepare for the worst..... i almost have to perform surgery on my patient today if the luck wasnt on my side.... Whew...

Have been dreaming of Scarecrows and zombies lately.... fears? not really..... stress? maybe... just helpless.....

It's always easier said than done.

PS. Have you ever seen an elephant fly?

PS2. Thanks Peter.

葉念琛 -《喂喂》

「你這幾天都在找她。你明知她是有意避開自己,打電話給她,總是轉駁到留言信箱,你最害怕聽到她在留言信箱的聲音,總是冷冷的一句:『請在咇一聲後留下口訊……』她那蒼涼、淡漠的語氣,彷彿告訴你,你儘管留言,但覆不覆你還要看本小姐的心情……

於是,你嘗試發一通短訊給她,短訊很短,可能只有:『喂喂』兩個字。你不是有甚麼要緊的說話告訴她!你不過是在發出一個掛念她的訊號,就像孤島上的燈塔,一閃一閃那微薄的燈光,為遠處的輪船指引方向。

你心知肚明,自己從來都是寂寞的孤島,而她卻是那永不靠岸的輪船。

她一天下來也沒有回覆你的短訊,從前她心情好的時候,你發了一通『喂喂』,她會回一通『喂喂喂!』,兩口子好像頑皮的小孩各據山頭,大吵大叫地傳話。那時候,彼此都喜歡做傻事討對方開心,那時候,你們深深相愛。

她好像一下子在你生命中消失了,你惆悵地想,這樣毫無徵兆的突然分離,彼此會否還有再見一面的機會?你一個人茫茫然在街上蹓躂,腳步來到一家你跟她過去常到的 VCD 店。本來你想跟相熟的店長打個招呼,可是正有一男一女的顧客在纏著他!你留神一看,不對!那個女孩子的身影為什麼這樣熟悉?她轉過臉跟身旁的男伴有說有笑,你料不到她竟然就在眼前。她也看見了你,若無其事走上前,輕輕地跟你嗌了一聲:『喂!』不是喂喂!也不是喂喂喂!在電光石火之間,你傷心地接受,彼此是真真正正不再相愛了。」

In "Sophie's World"

Um.... things are not going good......

Was in some thoughts lately... Who am I? Why does this earth even exist? Some of these questions are asked by philosophers for a long long time.... but how come men are still only concerning on the travialities in life? Are they not curious about themselve or this world? Why do people fear death so much? You fear because you have found the beauty of life, isnt that the most important thing afterall? You've tasted the good side of life........ nevermind, i'm probably writing too much here.... shall keep on reading my text book..... i'll continue the 'sophie's world' after the exam period....

Food are simple, but the heart behind them is not.
