Thanks to my lovely friends, i have spent a totally crazy night with them in lantau island.
Gaming and mahjong in the afternoon, preparing for the BBQ, then the 14 of us enjoyed a great time in that lovely place under the starry sky...
Played till so early in the day with a stupid card game... But any game can be potentially fun if you have enough alcohol and crazy companions... Forced myself to be concious enough to leave that place at this time of the day... So reluctant... Hope we can all meet again soon.

Mobile Blogger
Thanks to technology, i can blog wherever i go...
I am currently travelling on a ferry to lantau island, the kind of ferry that is so large and slow that they even have tuck shop which sell noodles in case you feel hungry... When was the last time i've ever board such ship? In current hong kong this ship seems so out of place, it is slow, is obsolete... But somehow, i feel good when riding her... Maybe i am just too free to have my time well spent, looking at the beautiful sea, writing, having a noodle and enjoying life...
I am about to enjoy my long and first since university started christmas holiday, just see if i can keep up writing here.
P.s. Brother is coming home tonight, it's family reunited again.

周杰倫 - 最長的電影
我們的開始 是很長的電影
放映了三年 我票都還留著
冰上的芭蕾 腦海中還在旋轉
望著你 慢慢忘記你
朦朧的時間 我們溜了多遠
冰刀劃的圈 圈起了誰改變
如果再重來 會不會稍嫌狼狽
愛是不是不開口才珍貴
再給我兩分鐘 讓我把記憶結成冰
別融化了眼淚 你妝都花了要我怎麼記得
記得你叫我忘了吧 記得你叫我忘了吧
你說你會哭 不是因為在乎

Finally time for updates.
My blog is becoming more and more like a weekly......
Let me see what i have done in this week.
It's been a rather fruitful week for me... maybe part of the reason is that i got to wake early the whole week for the OMFS department rotation.....
Monday till Wednesday, nothing particularly interesting..... same clinic and same reflection on whether I can be a good dentist.... guess if i work hard enough, the answer will be positive~
Enjoyed a good laugh from a joke by Chow Fai (no offence buddy, but that's really hilarious....) Sometimes, we just need a good cause for some crazy laugh ^^
O, now i remember something important, in mid-week my beloved Liverpool team beat Marseille 4:0 and got into the last 16 of European Championship. I am becoming more and more a die-hard Kopites, really looking forward to the clash with Man Utd at Anfield.
Thursday. Really crazy day. Attended a surgery that last for 12 plus hours..... a mandibulectomy + Deep Circumflex Iliac Artery flap graft...... really.... looking at the surgeon using hair-fine surture to sew up the arteries really fascinate me..... it's really tough to stand for 12 hours..... but watching such once-in-a-lifetime performance is worth everything. Suddenly got a crazy thought in the operating theatre at that time, what's the difference between God and human? The surgery is absolute out of what human should reach..... it's like.... giving life to that patient once again.... it's the same divine procedure..... (I am not here to start a religious war.... but just... some feelings.... please dont take it seriously if you dont agree)
Spent the night having late dinner with Kennon... really, talk with him is always inspiring.... all the best with your new post.
Today. Wake even earlier for the Ward Round at Queen Mary hospital..... life as a surgeon must be pretty interesting....... And now i have finally finished the morning session.... waiting for the afternoon part as today will be my last ever PBL lesson.... finally..... it's a day i will remember for life.
PS. Recovery status: I feel fine.... really.... it's like i am a totally different person once again... the feeling is no longer strong that will affect my emotion...... it's time to get on.
PS2. Looking forward to meeting my friends in this lovely christmas holiday, which start tomorrow. ^^

Best possible weekend.
Nothing beat a relaxed weekend.
The keyskills on Friday went fine, I was quite lucky not to fail the exam as some of my answers were over-confident.... especially the one of the risk of nerve injury..... better to play it safe and admit that i cant do it and refer the case, that might be better for the patient in the long run.... Um.... need to modify my thoughts from now on~
Received 2 vaccines on Hepatitis A and typhoid.... dunno if the vaccine is too strong or my immune system is too reactive.... i am totally crippled by its effect.... feels like a really bad cold with fever and tireness..... rest for the whole afternoon and missed a lesson.
Saturday, went for Jay Chou's concert, it's the 3rd time i seen him in Hong Kong.... his song are good as ever.... particularly like the duet he had with Laura from 南拳媽媽... his costumes are so good and so is the stage design..... must buy the DVD for this show~
PS. Only down side of this weekend being the loss of Liverpool @ Portsmouth by 3:1..... really downhearted with this scoreline >.<

Post 626 (it's the number of Stitch)
Still busy as hell lately.
After the crazy drinking Sunday night/Monday morning.... i found that my work has piled up already....
Exam's coming, got tonnes to work on....
And my room is chaotic as hell and there are no more clean clothes for me to wear (it must be like..... 2/3 weeks since i last do my laundry)..... spent a few hours last night to get everything done.....
I suddenly realize it's now closer and closer to my graduation day.... the graduating class photo has already hung up outside the dean's office.... and this week it's the last PBL lesson i have (it's the kind of lesson that i attend to since i was in year 1.... i originally think they'll last forever and ever.....)
Time flies.... gotta be serious now.

Where is paradise?
Paradise is not far away, you'll find one around you if you search for them hard enough~
Paradise is a place you can leave all your worries and enjoy yourself.
I had such a good weekend with friends in my paradise wonderland....
Lantau island on Friday with good turkish food.
Tsim Tsa Tsui for movie and Triple O burger, find a 'middle-of-nowhere' as a retreat on Saturday.
Friends gathering for hot pot and non-stop fun at Minden Avenue..... what more can i ask for?
Really crazy weekend. But this is my lovely life.
Feeling alive once again.

To tell the truth...
Dunno if it's my subconciousness or mere coincidence..... I flipped through my drawer in search of my old medical record.... turns out to find some letters and notes that i receive years ago..... Some of them was so sweet at that time but now it's nothing but bitterness.... nevermind... but i really think when 2 people are together, both should not hide their feelings and emotions, or else, what's the point of being together?
This self-reflection shall make me a better person~
Just another note about my dental life.... I'm so unhappy today cause i've spent so much time preparing for the case and i thought it's quite a good result.... turns out that my work is still 'sub-standard'? really..... lacking the confidence now........ I shall/must improve~

It's so cold tonight.....
Wind blazing.... chilling........
Nothing beat a good hot Vita-soy at night~
I took from my closet a thick jacket, and in one of the pocket, i found an item..... it was, some crazy little thing when i'm maniacally in love..... stir up a lot of my memory really.... but the feeling is not as strong.... somewhat different i may say...
It's just like the song by Craig David, Dont love you no more.

痛...由自取
Okay... I admit i had a problem.
Always too adicted....
Sub-conciousness is such a little devil....
The more I told myself to stop..... there come some 'coincidence' that will stir my memories again....
I could walk aimlessly and end up to a place which mean a lot to me.... a little restaurant.... then i will gaze into the window thinking of the past... I could just stare and stay for a few hours...... sick? I think so as well.....
Just like me kick all my old habits and live my life.... once more.

Get back...
Get back.... It's been a while since i last wrote....
Get lazy on Friday.... was late for class but come on... it's the first time i ever finish a 10 session week (it's so seldom to have full session week.... leave alone for the fact that i am a constant class skiver)
Get dressed up.... for the annual dinner on friday night.... it's my last dental annual dinner and i really do treasure it...
Get drunk.... so drunk indeed..... i barely have any recollection of what happened....
Get wasted.... somewhat.... life lately is really underachieving....
Getting worried.... this week my clinical performance is way off the standard.... transient.... or what?
Get cheered up and pissed..... by different people.... "I had a dream".... but somehow my family dont seem to share my vision.... what can i do?
Get sick..... lack of sleep? or the cold weather? My head hurts....
Get sentimental.... because of something happened in the past..... do they, really care anymore?
Getting lost.... on the way i am living...
Or? Shall i just simply get a life and get going again?

Feeling~
Went back to campus tonight.
Seeing so many old faces.... pretty unexpected actually... cause most of them are already graduates coming back for the graduation gown and taking some photos....
When will be my turn?
Really looking forward to it.

The F Word.
I am on the road now, so i will keep my entry short.
It's pathetic that i am only able to sit down and think while travelling, why didnt i have the time when i am at hall?
Had dinner with Janice, a good friend of mine from University. From her i've heard something that i never know. And it's pretty surprising...
i now got a new meaning of the 'F' word... It's not the fck word you're thinking. And it's kinda even more scary... Am i... Really that kind of person? I never notice... It must be all in my genes or my upbring... I guess i will forever stay this way...

Unexpected Email.
Well... it's funny....
I must be a prophet of somesort in the past...
Got some trouble lately but suddenly when i check for my email today, i found a old email sent from futureme.org.... it's the one i wrote some years ago.... reading my own email and at that time the old me can already forsee the trouble coming..... well, and it also include some possible solutions to it.....
Just love myself so much this time... i shall not feel troubled anymore....
I guess, it's not a bad idea to write to myself from time to time.....
PS. My recent quote, "Sex is in the mind, not in the eyes"..... that's so true
PS2. Wait and see..... let's see how it goes~

Dream's over.
There is no other way to success.
Remember that.

One moment.
Would you capture it
or just let it slip?"

Stratovarious - Black Diamond
Classic rock song by Finnish rock band Stratovarious.
Love the rhythm of it.
一青窈 VS 平井堅 (Hitotoyo VS Hiraiken)
在台灣和日本都流傳著一段軼聞—用電腦音效軟體把一青窈所演唱歌曲的拍子（tempo），調成原曲的80%，大部份歌曲都會變成與日本著名男歌手平井堅演唱的腔音非常相似。
Impressive, isnt it?
Addiction is hell.
It's so scary to get addicted to something.
It literally such the life out of you.
It take away all the time, all your life....
And it require double the effort to save yourself from it.....
My will must grow strong and i must resist the temptation.
.....................
Really sorry that my last entry is already one week ago..... that also mean that i have done nothing productive over the last week.....
Just some casual eating and drinking with friends and that's about it.....
Got tonnes to work on now.....
Nevermind, I'll write again. (I'll write the most often when I'm working, especially with a regular routine of life..... unfortunately... that is not the case lately.
PS. Belated Happy Birthday to Kennon.
PS2. Shall post the song that i am listening to lately.....

YUI - Tomorrow's way
My recent favourite. Original of "Dear Fiona", just check it out and see which one is better.
PS. Currently listening to another singer (I'll keep it secret, one song per night). Share with you next time.
Aaron Eckhart is an arse.
Sorry about the title.
But I cant stop having this feeling after i watched 'No reservations' last night.
The story is just a very simple plot, those you'll expect from an ordinary Hollywood "B" movie. However, it's still a good movie..... the interactions among characters are so natural.
But Katherine Zeta-Jones is so good looking and Aaron..... what should i say about him..... his character is such an jerk, but such an adorable one.....
So charming, so knowledgable (and can cook such great Italian dishes).... I'd die to be him....
PS. I have managed to get hold to a recipe of all the cusines cooked in the movie...... when will i have the time to try them all?

Experience.
Spent my last 2 days in a dental conference. (I've skived all my class in order to attend it~)
Pretty impressive, learned a lot of new stuff, enjoyed some good presentations.... (the buffet at Langham Hotel is okay, must find another time to eat there again) (also kinda of embarassed when being addressed with the Doctor title and realizing how little i know about dentistry)
A pretty good experience overall. (though a little tired each day ^^)
PS. No matter how bad my dental skill is gonna be, I must at least keep my english at a proficient level~ I say that with a good reason, when you have listened to the korean doing presentations, you'll know. They got some pretty astonishing clinical photos however I have no idea on what they are trying to do...... really, that's wasted.

Attention span....
Just realize how short my attention span is..... (except for the time when i am playing)
Last night just causally flip through my textbook and in no time i have fallen asleep.... tight..... slept all the way from 10 till 6 in the morning.....
Then continue with my reading again.... this time better, though i am constantly interrupted by my inner devil...... feed the fish, water the plants, feed myself, check email etc. are becoming my greatest excuse from books.....
Sigh.....
Currently listening:
Bon Jovi - I am
How you spend your minutes are what matters
All tomorrows come from yesterdays
When you're feeling broken, bruised and sometimes shattered
Blow out the candles on the cake
Like everything's a big mistake
It seems you always wait for life to happen
And your last buck can't buy a lucky break
If all we've got is us then life's worth living
And if you're in, you know I'm in
I'm ready and I'm willing
I am
When you think that no one needs you, sees you or believes you
No one's there to understand
I am
I'll be there to be that someone
When you think that no one is there to hold your hand
I am
We're just who we are, there's no pretending
It takes a while to learn to live in your own skin
Say a prayer that we might find our happy ending
And if you're in you know I'm in
I'm ready and I'm willing
I am
When you think that no one needs you, sees you or believes you
No one's there to understand
I am
I'll be there to be that someone
When you think that no one is there to hold your hand
I am
I ain't got no halo hanging over my head
I ain't gonna judge you, I'm just here to love you
I am, I am
I am
When you think that no one needs you, sees you or believes you
No one's there to understand
I am
I'll be there to be that someone
When you think that no one is there to hold your hand

My friends.... Thank You.
Still busy this week.
Pressure by school is still drowning me....
But thanks to my friend, I can really enjoy myself in it.
Thanks to Horace who stayed in my place this week, it's been so much fun.
Got my Class photo (Graduation photo equivalent) taken today..... really.... i'm looking forward to the graduation... thanks to all those who have shared my happiness, including the special one who looked from the distant corner... maybe... it wouldnt end up like this.... but nevermind.
Suddenly remeber the lyrics by Bon Jovi, Last Cigarette,
"Your love's like one last cigarette
Last cigarette, I will savor it
The last cigarette
Take it in and hold your breath, hope it never ends
But when it's gone, it's gone
One last cigarette, last cigarette
One I can't forget, the last cigarette
Right there at my fingertips, got your taste still on my lips
Right or wrong
You're still gone, gone, gone"
Meet with Jo Chiu and Lo Kai, my long time buddy since Highschool in starbucks today... well, it seems all of us are doing quite fine, let's strive hard and graduate together this year ^^
Had tea with Jo later in the afternoon.... thanks so much for the inspiration.... it's been so great to spend time with you.... it's like, you can always read my mind... i dont even have to complete the sentence before you get what i mean..... just a wonderful feeling.... let's meet again sometime~ And all the best to you.
Later still.... had a drink with my granddaughter.... um.... it seems life is sometimes quite miserable... but you'll make it, just trust in yourself.....
It's finally a weekend... I'll spend some good time to recharge myself..... till next time.

Will I?
Will I.... be a good dentist?
That's the only question in my mind for now.
PS. Sing when you're winning, Cry when you're losing.... that's nothing wrong to it... it's just, you feel you deserve something better, but turn out you dont.... that feeling will drive you to strive harder and harder, until you get the thing you 'deserve'..... i hope you feel the same.

Self image.
Today. I look in the mirror... I gaze into it for so long..... I tried so hard to stare into my own eyes.....
Suddenly, a very familiar feeling came back to me.
I saw the eyes that are driven.
I saw the eyes that are eager.
It's not exactly the way like 5 or 6 years ago, but i do feel they are coming back.
When I'm truly back, I'll let everyone know about it.

Failed Exam.
Yes. I did failed my drive test today.
But so what.
Thanks to the stupid dumbass in Lee Kin Driving school, who not only changed the date of my exam, and also THE TEST VENUE without letting me know.
Smarty Ass.
I guess they have no idea a "L Carpark space" is different from a "S Carpark space"..... they are just dumb enough to ignore them all.
But not for me.
I must appreciate how well the Problem based Learning in dental school has prepared me for exam (and exam only).
Got a demostration by the driving teacher and I am on my way for my exam in a totally alien teritorry..... no idea where to turn, no idea how the traffic is like.....
All I can do is to be extra caution and think hard to remember how i use to drive when i was in Canada....
I did manage to pass the road test, but for the parking part, I was marginally too close (that must only be 1 cm between my car and the 'ideal' parking position..... I feel that i am being penalized.... darn.
So I've failed. That also prove that I know how to drive (only in Canada that i dont have to worry about parking, for i can simply park the car anywhere, even in the middle of the road without anybody bugging.... this really doesnt happen in Hong kong....
Nevermind.... I'll get my license in my next go.

Under Pressure.
Okay.
I am under pressure.
Will have my driving license exam tomorrow, please wish me luck and bless me with a pass in single go.
Life at hall is so busy.
In comparison, at home is always so cozy... (and sometimes slothful)
Argh.... better write later, i'll need my full attention on the road tomorrow morning.

"Relativity"
Work hard, Play hard.... that use to be my motta of life....
But somehow.... I'm more and more shifted to the play side... without much working hard....
I need some help... I just want my concentration and dedication back..... my current life seems so 'aimless' for the moment.
"Will is strong but flesh is weak"...... I just wanted to do so many things.... but i just cant.....
That's something depressing.....
Alright.
I've spent my whole long weekend without doing anything productive.
Thursday. Class as usual but afterwards went to CB for tea with friends and ran into Sister Kathy (she looked so childish after her hair cut, she's more like my younger sister now~ and she's so skinny that i am very worried about her..... is work really that hard even after graduation??? I start to feel scared) Later that night, "Nanny Diaries"..... A okay movie, I like Scarlett Johansson, and the plot itself is okay. I guess if i watch it 10 years from now when I'm a parent I will have more feeling towards it.
Friday. Non-productive again. Woke for movie again, "Resident Evil: Extinction"..... um.... what can i say, I love the series.... but this one has gone too far..... um.... a pure adrenaline pumping movie.... forget about the plot, some of the scenes are really well taken... I like the scene when Milla Jojovich is fighting the crows.... um... really impressive.
Later that night. Got back to Hall and have reunion with my grand sons and daughters.... lots of laughters.....
Saturday..... worse day... the credits of my air-con has run out..... blazing hot in my room.... somehow manange to stay in my room for the whole day..... playing Football manager 2008 and other mini games...... i must be too stressed...... Darn.....
Sunday.... Drive lesson.... my driving exam is soon coming... please wish me luck..... once again. got tonnes that i need to work on my laziness is somehow in-built in my soul...... gosh.....
Went to watch the Interhall Aquatics..... um... it's my first time and last time there...... I'll treasure the time here.
Just one announcement here. I, Kelvin Lam, have officially applied to the Civil Service Bureau for the post of Administrative Officer/Executive Officer for the Hong Kong SAR Government..... I dont care if I am capable of doing it.... but at least, i feel that i should give it a try no matter what. It's always better to choose a job i like than being chosen.
"Hope is what kept a person alive".... I always agree with this pharse.
Dont give me false hope, please.

Study + Guest.
Skived my lesson in the morning again.....
Spent the time doing some reading instead.....
The series of unfortunate events continued till afternoon.... got a failed appointment from my pateint, which make my week without a single patient..... what am i doing this week?
Um... it's a first start to my revision plan..... slow start though....
Got dinner in a decent place in Sai Wan tonight..... could have chance to go again.
Watched University Hall visit at hall.... it's always good to have the chance when all hallmates (and my group sons and daughters) to gather together and strive for something~
So unexpectedly my senior Kennon is back to hall tonight and he's staying in my room right now, just cant wait to chat with him for all the things that had happened lately.... shall write again soon~

Fireworks.
It's been a long day today and I'm really exhausted for now.... maybe my entry will be a little confused and unorganized....
Woke early today for my driving lesson.... It's the last few lesson before my test on next Tuesday.... um.... I'm quite confident that i can manage the 'test'.... but frankly, to drive in real road situation will require a lot more of practice...... o well.... just let me get my license in one take and i'll take care of the rest later~
Lunch @ Langham with Jeff..... a pretty short lunch but it's relaxing no matter what.
Paid a visit to Granddad in Eastern Hospital... Um.... he looks okay today... Get well soon Grandpapa..... I now know how important a family means... without a family, there's always something missing in life.....
It seems to me that September and October is the peak season for my friends' birthday..... already missed my sister's B-day this year (29/9).... So sorry sister~ Belated Happy Birthday to you and may your every wish come true ^^
I'm so fortunate to have seen the fireworks for the second time in this week.... finally knew why there was a firework show in cyberport 2 days ago, it's a rehersal for the celebration of National's Day. Viewing the firework in person from the top of IFC is a brilliant experience that nothing can possibly beat..... I shall remember tonight~
Still want to write more.... but my flesh is too weak, better head off to sleep for now, write later.

Pursuit of happiness... again?
Dont know why I cant sleep tonight.....
Um.... despite of what i wrote in my last entry, my life has been rather normal for the time being...
Had an unexpected experience on Friday night... glancing outside the window from my room and i found that there was a show of fireworks (just near the shore of cyberport).... so glamorous, so colourful, so charming..... it's the first time i see fireworks (apart from those on television).... it's just like a private show for me..... It's so fascinating.... really, that cheered me up a great lot~~ Hapiness is always around you..... depends on whether you search for it or not~
Saturday.... a very exhausting day for me... In order not to leave any regret to my Hall life, I have participated in my first (very likely my last) Interhall event, i swam for RC Lee Hall in the Interhall Aquatics Meet...... First I'm so glad that i didnt drown, and I can manage to complete the event and earn a point in participation ^^ (that's what i did from my secondary school already.... no chance to get a medal, but surely get some point through participation) Um.... swimming is harder that i previously thought (58'97" for a 50m Free-style..... Um.... kinda embarassing....), but nevermind, I'm not the slowest in the event.... that's something already ^^ Just wanna train myself up a bit and hopefully I can get closer to the 'standard' time) (just gimme a few months and i am sure i can make it)
Was severely sun burnt and exhausted on Sunday.... originally got dinner with family but grandpere's condition has worsen and was admitted to hospital.... just hope he's going to be fine soon.

Love and Hate...
Where do love come from?
And where do hatred come from?
Love and hate.... what is the boundry between them?
You care for someone to the fullest extent and that's love... but exactly the same 'love' can one day be driven to 'hate'...
Why is that so complicated?

Good night sleep~
Nothing beat a good night sleep~
First time in a long while to shut my phone and enjoy a good sleep~
Feeling energized right now...
Hope I'll have the chance to do this more often in Hall ^^ (though unlikely)

Movie weekend~
Alright, I've finally re-entered my friends' number to my mobile phone... took me ages for doing that.
This weekend is once again spent non-productively....
Did nothing more than some sports and games and light reading and music.... but it's a really enjoyable one~
Thanks Jeff for accompanying to the movies, "I pronounce you Chuck and Larry" by Adam Sandler and Kevin James.... Hiliarous~ Being gay is not all bad, right? :P
Watched the "Ocean's Thirteen" on VCD as well..... um... not too impressive, but quite okay~
I guess that's all I did in the weekend....
I've made up my mind for something... and deep in my heart..... I got the right feeling... Please, wish me luck~
"Planning for my blueprint of life."

Lost of memory...
Something horrible happened to my mobile...
Everything's lost, the contacts, the SMS messages...
But somehow... I didnt miss those things too much anymore...
Memories are in close association with the feelings.... I just dont feel the same anymore....
I will take it as a brand new start.
"感覺不到 從前溫柔的雙眼
感覺得到 你已不再眷戀
無奈的笑時突然我知道
得了失憶可能對你我都好
感覺不到 說是為了我改變
感覺得到 沈默劃過我左臉
我不知道 也許我會得到
一句還是朋友 這是藉口還是盡頭"
PS. To my friends, If you still see me as a friend you can occassionally chat with, please send me your mobile number by SMS la~ Thanks.

Buying Spree....
I must be stressed lately.....
Cant control myself for buying things that I probably dont need....
So pathological....
Life in clinic today.... um.... both good and bad.....
The below picture shall summerize my life lately~
I still dont get the time for movies yet, but all of them are great collection, ain't they?
Really tired now..... must sleep now.

Still.... As usual.
Well.... i got a little bored by moaning how busy i am lately...
I should feel grateful. Though I'm fully occupied this weekend. None of them is related to work, which mean most of the time i spent i am actually enjoying myself.
Friday. Driving lesson in the morning... start to worry about the driving exam for i am still no confident enough with the clutch.... hope i can improve through the remaining few lessons....
Afternoon skived my class but instead sat for the consultation session for orthognathic patient. Pretty impressive treatment planning between Orthodontics Department and Oral & Maxillofacial Department.... how's the life being the doctor there?? Interested to know.
That night, a really good game of football with floormates, i really enjoyed the time (i even scored one goal in the match~)
Saturday. Woke up with a bad headache (still havent recovered fully).... had no choice but to sleep for some more, for I am going to spent that night in the wild... reluctantly skipped the first part of the wild camp, I've arrived to the beach in Long Ke around 5 that evening, barely catching the last glimpse of dusk~ Had a wonderful BBQ with floormates then we've hiked a bit around the hills there and the late night was spent lying on the beach, watching the stars and listening to the world's best music - sound of wave when they're spalshing on the beach...... what more can i ask for?? I had the chance to see a shooting star that night.... Of cause I've made a wish.... "When you wish upon a star" - I believe in it fully.... I knew my wish is going to come true.
Sunday. Left the camp early in the morning and then get changed immediately for a wedding party. My orthodontic tutor is getting married, how sweet of them~ But I guess after that day I might consider whether I will have a 'public' celebration on my own wedding.... you know.... all the procedures are so..... complicated~~ I guess... "You may kiss the bride." is the only sentence I'll ever want to hear in my wedding~~ Well..... Let's see~
Later that night, spent time with family and paid a visit to my grandpa, who is chronically sick for the moment..... seeing him suffering is really a heart break for me.... He's weak but still he is the man i love so much.... Get better soon Grandpapa.
Monday, that's today.... pretty normal day for school again. Life's as usal boring and tiring.... but still feel glad that I've done okay on my patient today..... Um.... I'll try to replicate the quality of work on every patient i will ever treat..... I really feel that i can still be a good dentist, should I work hard enough.... Please.
Still looking for signs, but i got a sweet feeling. I always trust in my guiding star~ You'll lead me there. I'll get there.... soon. 幸福的預感.

Random scribble~
Feeling stressed out...
Is this normal?
What kind of dentist am I?
I could never be one of those 'skillful' dentist, or could I?
Will I be a well sociable dentist that keep good relationships with his patients? After what i've been through when screening patient, i doubt if i can do it...
Or ultimately.... will i ever be a dentist? It's highly likely that i might not even get my degree if i go on like this...
Too much on my mind.
More and more realize it's near impossible to satisify all people's expectations on you.
What can I do?

Low grade fever.
Um.... Mild persistent fever..... the hardest to treat~
It simply drain away the last bit of energy in me.
It also failed to respond to aspirin or paracetamol.... it just keep on and on.....
I guess, the best cure to it would be a undisturbed sleep for 10 plus hours.... but in reality, i'd hardly have the time.....
What am i doing??
Despite all my sickness.... i've managed to cook a decent dinner to feed a table of 8...... pretty impressive uh?
O well.... i really feel comfortable doing my cooking~ (probably my best stress remedy)
I'll catch some sleep soon. Shall write again.

Medicine.... again....
I feel weak...
Not only did my muscle ache and sore.... but mentally.... i feel weak....
The flu has really been kicking my arse hard enough to prevent me from doing anything constructive.....
Been to the doctor and got a dozen of medicine (cough syrup, nasal decongestants, paracetamol and anti-histamines.... stuff like that)..... everytime i take those i feel like my inside are burning...
No wonder the chronic illness patient are so ready to commit suicide..... If the sickness hang on for longer than a few days.... i might do the same as well....
Sleep through days without knowing....
Finally started doing some room visit (by the freshmen).... I guess this is the last thing i can do for hall....
Dunno why.... but a question from a freshman tonight provoked my nerve... never expect this to happen.... but indeed. It did.
Learning to be strong.
Shall sleep la. Write when I'm better.
PS. My song of day
不能說的秘密 - 周杰倫
冷咖啡離開了杯墊
我忍住的情緒在很後面
拼命想挽回的從前
在我臉上依舊清晰可見
最美的不是下雨天
是曾與妳躲過雨的屋簷
回憶的畫面 在盪著鞦韆
夢開始不甜
妳說把愛漸漸 放下會走更遠
又何必去改變 已錯過的時間
妳用妳的指尖 阻止我說再見
想像妳在身邊 在完全失去之前
妳說把愛漸漸 放下會走更遠
或許命運的籤 只讓我們遇見
只讓我們相戀 這一季的秋天
飄落後才發現 這幸福的碎片
要我怎麼撿

Overloaded.
Finally.... the constant pushing my body to the limit has yielded its devastation....
"喉嚨痛得要死"
I'll have every bit of my weekend nursing myself....
Worst still.... I've broke my glasses during the floor orientation this week, meaning that i'll have to wear my contact lens for the time being..... such prolonged wearing is hurting my eyes.... gosh....
Sorry to my best buddies that i've failed to attend the game of basketball.... maybe next time~
Have to take some more rest.... shall write again.

Never Settle....
Never settle for second best...
But.... Is it my call to make?
Sleep like a zombie in Pantry this afternoon....
Really.... tired....
Looking for the Weekend to recharge myself.....
I'll need the extra energy~

Tire.... Beyond believe.
I am going nuts..... for sure....
I feel so tired..... with the ongoing school work and the newly started Floor Orientation....
Why dont you just kill me..... I'd rather die than to face such torture......
I'm probably too tired to function properly....

Still Busy...
My 2nd day of school has been more or less the same as the chaotic first day.
Was humilitated today in class.....
Cant stop thinking how much I can do for the patient....
It's just so..... helpless....

Busy.... As Hell.
My life is back.
Back in Hell indeed.
Unbelievable time-table..... No idea how to squeeze extra specialist session into the already well-packed (if not overcrowded) time-table....
Suddenly think of the log case i am supposed to prepare and all those key skills exam.... it's really driving me mad....
Wanted so much to read but in fact, I just dont have the time to even slow down and think..... when can i stop and do my reading??
Once again question myself if i am up to the challenge of being a dentist....
I can already forsee my whole hellish year..... that's depressing thought.....
Damn it. I better stop here. Gotta head for shower and sleep soon. I'll write again tmr.

School Resumes.
Right, my cousin is right about one thing.... it's really been a Long while since i last wrote here.
My summer vacation is nothing more than meeting with a few friends, enjoy a fine dinner and hang out to have some fun...
And now my happy days seems to end abruptly.... it's soon time for school again....
Let me recall what i have done in this last few weeks....
1. I am learning how to drive a manual.
2. I am improving my swimming technique.
3. I have gone for Avril Lavigne's concert in Hong Kong with sister~~
4. I've gone to Dental Orientation Camp... only to realize that I truly despise the role of being a 'senior' (For i had such unpleasant experience in my freshman year to be 'told' what to do and what not to by the so-called-"smarty arsed"-senior..... screw them all.
5. I have started wine tasting (note: there's a hell of a difference between gulping the wine and tasting it..... and i'm learning to do the latter..... hope that in 10 years time i can truly identify each of the wine by their own taste.
6. I've enjoyed my last Orientation Camp in Hall..... well... it's a bit tiresome after the camp but seeing the freshmen and leaders develop is one of the best experience in my hall life..... everytime when i meet with my group 'sons and daughters' i truly feel like being in a family.... that's something money cant buy...
7. I've completely ignored the need for study.... Darn.... need to squeeze some time for this no matter what.
8. Finally I've learnt to treasure what I have already.... it's no use searching for something that's not there... I guess... this'll be one of the thing that help me most in my life.... glad i have learnt this....
Well.... i guess.... i can call this a fruitful vacation, cant I?
Write next time, but i promise you it wont be long.

Physically Overwhelmed.
So tired lately....
More and more realize how fun swim can be...
And sweating in the gym room actually give me the happy feeling..... treadmill, stepper, rowing machine, cycling machine and repeat all that over again and again..... it's so much fun.
End result..... soreness all over my body... but it's worth it.
I'm so glad to have spent quality with friends. Great dinner with friends for 2 nights in a row. Lovely restaurant in SoHo, with a bottle of wine..... what more can i ask for??
Been singing K with my floormates one night too..... fall in love with some of the songs, let me share with you in the next entry.
Better sleep soon, for tomorrow i'll have my driving lesson.... I just dont want to die yet.
PS. Goodwork Liverpool, winning the first match of the season. 2-1 at Aston Villa. Stevie G Rulz!!!

Amazing, Impressive Performance.
Wow, just browse this on the net, really impressive....
How they coordinate all these people?
Bad Weather.
Weather is so bad these 2 days.
Storm, and rain....
Just found out when it's raining real hard, my windows is a bit leaky..... i have to mop my floor after each torrential rain.....
But nevermind, that didnt bother me too much..... I just continue with my reading routine.... nearly finished the Man and Boy, what shall i read next? Continue with his work or some other new author? I dunno, must spend some time in PageOne or Commercial Bookstore for some replenishment.....
Just looking out the window, so surreal..... it's like gazing through the window of a flying plane, with clouds so dense that it block the whole view (or is it mist and rain? I dunno)
Getting my life back to usual, kind of bored lately.

Swim is fun.
Swim is fun, really.
Though it's a little bit of cold on Tuesday..... hope the next time the sun will shine brightly.... it's gonna be fun~
I am totally exhausted after swimming for the whole morning..... slept like a sloth for the whole day at home afterwards~
Got a bad headache of my life on Wednesday... must have woken far too early for blood test and driving lesson and the hair cut..... feel nothing but the throbbing inside my skull... horrible....
That's where i am now. Slept for the whole night, feeling better.
I guess I'll read for a while before deciding what to do today. Till then.
"I love you but I am not in love with you. Love is what's left when being in love has gone. It's when you care about somone and you hope they're happy, but you're not under any illusion about them. Maybe that kind of love is not exciting and passionate and all those things that fade with time. But in the end it's the only kind of love that really matters." From Tony Parsons, Man and Boy.
Now I have some idea what that means.

Feeling less and less motivated to keep writing here....
It's not that i do not have feelings over my recent experience or my life.... but just sometimes feel my feeling to an incident can change quite considerable over a short period of time.... it's really quite hard to summarize such complex, mixed feelings and put them in words here..... anyways, i will try.
Just had the touch camp over the weekend. It's always great to meet new people, especially such fresh and green young lads. It's really a shame for me not being able to tag along with them for the whole camp owing to my tireness.... well, i guess I'm really not as young as before.... a night without sleep is really killing me (and killing me fast and burtally)
Took a long nap today and in the evening I watched 2 movies in a row, "The Break-Up" by Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston.... pretty much a "B" movie but i still like they way they plot it... Looking at the pair dealing with their feelings and conflicts gave me some food for thought... It'd be nice should i have watched this earlier. The second movie is "Fun with Dick and Jane", looking at the rubbery face of Jim Carrey is a joy, but seriously, he's kind of transformed in his more recent movie that we can only see less and less of his crazy acting method..... I really miss his oldies like the Ace Ventura or Liar Liar......
Alright, i guess i'd better sleep early and have enough energy for my swim class tomorrow. Till next time.

那年一起靜坐抗議
那年一起玩物喪志
那年一起暗戀 然後失戀了默默扶持
那年班長競選 才學會政治
當走進大社會 奉獻少罵戰多
相識接着拆伙 朋友仔沒有幾個 幾個
敵人很多 少一個不算少 多一個都太多
當初唱字母歌 學會的未算多
終於領悟更多 人跌倒又上一課 一課
校門即使逐一給光陰上鎖
都緊記當初
某人新婚席上再見
笑容顯得特別靦腆
那年一起 嗌交無奈今天已靜默無言
我們交出那款循例性笑臉
當走進大社會 是與非右與左
當中價值太多 朋友仔沒有幾個 幾個
聚頭不多 推搪有工作多 多親切都變疏
不想唱勵志歌 勵志歌 勵志麼
彼此背負太多 隨每天習慣經過 經過
為誰奔波 獲得比當初再多 比不上當初
當走進大社會 奉獻少罵戰多
相識接着拆伙 朋友仔沒有幾個 幾個
敵人很多 少一個不算少 多一個都太多
當初唱字母歌 學會的未算多
終於領悟更多 人跌倒又上一課 一課
夕陽之歌 剩低這一首輓歌
想起我當初
金莎 - 不可思議
Which one do you like more?
閃爍不停愛的信息 三言兩語扣進心裏
捂住臉呵口氣 才不輕易洩露了心情
僅僅傻笑而已 也能夠徹夜想你
愛到不可思議 創世紀到末期
不用甜言蜜語 其實我愛的是你 是你
煩惱的是 我雖然很粗心 但我會很努力
愛到不可思議 越老卻越美麗
牙掉了沒關係 皮膚皺皺也愛你 愛你
就孩子氣 這一百分的相遇 就是我和你
你的信息傳個不停 隨時提醒甜蜜關係
丟個硬幣決定 每天應該說幾遍愛你
不僅思念而已 看看我 無懈的堅定
Lost for words.
Pictionary....
What a game....
Even the most talkative people will get lost for words.
It's so much fun.
Or maybe it's just I'm with my best buddies around?
I love my SPOC family, great gathering tonight.
PS. Touch camp is approaching again..... this time, i feel tired..... maybe i'm just too old already.... i'm no longer the leader-type of person..... I actually longed for the day I become new and fresh in this society.
PS2. Song of the day.

One man, One disease.
If one man, one disease is true,
I have found my disease already.
Ankylosing spondylitis...
Chronic, Degenerative Inflammatory Arthritis, affecting mainly the spine and sacroiliac joint.
A 0.25% prevalence disease with no known cure.
Is this lucky or unlucky?
Have a look at my pelvis X-ray and a large cloudy patch can already been seen on Left and Right Sacroiliac joint...
I'm still fortunate that my spine isnt too affected yet, I can still bend and lay flat on my back.
O well, I am not too worried, being a pessimist only take away life and joy, I'd rather enjoy every second of my life.
Moreover, this disease give me another close tie with my idol Jay Chou, for we both are AS patient....
Life cant be too bad, isnt it?

Gluttony.
Horrible.
Horrible me.
Had spent my last 2 days out in every part of Hong Kong, tasting the best possible food around....
No wonder Gluttony is one of the seven original sin.... i feel guilty as well....
I must end this trend soon.
Will resume my exercise regime and start swimming tomorrow.
PS. Tenpin bowling is fun..... spoiled some easy chances in the game today or else i should have scored a lot more than the 120 i got.... um.... looking forward to improve my consistency.
PS2. I have temporary suspended myself from Coca-Cola (for i no longer have reserve in my fridge and i was too lazy to buy them for the convenience store)....... the outcome is..... now my fridge is filled with nothing but beer and vodka..... which is the lesser of two evil? Anyone?

My summer and Harry Potter
Owing to some technical problems, my trip was abruptly cut short....
Here I am again, in my room reading books.
Have just finished the latest Harry Potter book.... the ending is okay, kind of expected, but it's still worth to read...
I love the way J.K. Rowling feels, "Life has a way through death, so as Love", this really cheer things up, isnt it?
I have spent my last 2 weeks of my life in a largely chaotic way of life, but this is also one of the few weeks that i have truely enjoyed myself.
Started my learning lesson... though i know how to drive an automatic, however, it's quite different when riding a manual.... i especially hate the necessary move of stepping on the clutch when applying break.... o well, so user un-friendly... i guess the only car I'll ever consider buying apart from an automatic is a semi-automatic (only available in sports car like ferrari or porsche ^^)
Watched several movies lately, both in cinema and VCDs.... "Transformer" is excellent, never expected it to be this good, really beat the other movies in the same category.... Watched "Sideways" as well... guess i'll have a different feeling on it when i watch it again in 10 years or so.....
Apart from my movie frenzy, reading has become my daily routine as well.... apart from HP, another book on my list include 'The runaway jury' by John Grisham and 'Man and boy' by Tony Parsons..... I'm so into books that i must look like a bookworm, cause i cant even leave my books when travelling on bus or MTR......
Had a few wonderful moments with my friends, eating and drinking with friends is what i did most lately..... had spent some time on the beach having sunbath.... life cant be better than this~
Still got a lot of things on my to-do list.... really wanted to learn how to swim butterfly stroke.... and tennis as well..... i'll squeeze some time for it~
I'd better be back to my book now.... i hope i'll write soon. Till then, take care my friends.

Leave town notice.
I'm leaving for a few days.
Gone for good.
Hope this will be a good break for me.
I'll miss you all.
"So kiss me and smile for me,
Tell me that you'll wait for me,
Hold me like you'll never let me go."

不眠...
Sleepless.... Fallen in love with this song... Great Lyrics by 林夕.
化 - 楊千嬅
別離未算久 別漫談如摯友
令清修的我再失守
別凝望太久 令面容如刺繡
像一針一血的引誘
一巴一巴 情感打不化
沒碰著你再愛誰未算假
何必擔心下半生 何苦不信任緣份
談多幾次心 自然就似情人 唯有甘心
無需等的別要等 庸碌一世沒遺憾
人家不費心亦能恩愛互吻 誰說別人未襯
淚還未轉圈 便被人嫌我怨
扮開心果也夠辛酸
舊情未算短 令別人如副選
像他的衫也該 你穿
收得多花 遲早火花都化
未信共對上百年未愛他
何必擔心下半生 何苦不信任緣份
談多幾次心 自然就似情人 唯有甘心
無需等的別要等 庸碌一世沒遺憾
情不必太深 若能不執著你 誰不懂去互吻
如果戀愛為結婚 如果擁抱為名份
何苦等半生 沒人沒有情人 如果甘心
誰的心可及你狠 誰肯恩愛亦榮幸
難刻骨銘心 亦能找到護蔭
忘愛自然合襯

Food Hunting week
Made an effort to keep writing but that seems quite futile....
Hopefully this can soon change as I'm gonna have my holiday soon~~ Must achieve what I have planned for the summer~
The last week has been my Gourmet week.... tasted some of the best food around.
Thursday, school, then sneaked out in the afternoon for my friend in TST. Japanese food plus Friend plus Harbour view. Life couldnt be better. Later that night, another friend in Central for a Triple-O's burger..... have you ever seen a burger so large that i (notice, i got big hands) couldnt get hold of it single-handedly.... wow!! Double beef patty and beacon is paradise. Also, the strawberry milkshake is a must have~~~ Longing to go there again~
Friday, nothing special. School and then got a driving lesson.... pretty ordinary...
Saturday, Got a nice sleep and the wake for a medical appointment in Mong Kok..... wander around for a while.... meet with Kathy and had dessert in Pokka Cafe (unexpectedly good) (that's the first meal of my day).... enjoyed shopping in Langham (I wanna buy the new Liverpool Jersy with Torres' name on it~) We chatted for so long that we only got dinner at 10.... It's always good to check up on how my friend is doing~~
Got back to hall.... finally cleaning my room since exam..... As now i knew i have passed my exam i can throw away my past papers and notes without worries~ guess i'll forget some of the knowledge for my whole life..... ^^
Hong Kong is crazily hot these few days.... Guess I'll spend my next few days in my room only (no outdoor please, at least for this few days).... gonna do some reading and getting myself ready for the driving exam~

A week's summary.
Alright, finally time to be myself again...
A lot has happened this week but i just failed to find the time to record them down here.... this place is like my pool of pensive (in case you havent read Harry Potter, it's kind of memory storage medium) (just want to live with the hype of Harry Potter lately, with the movie coming and the possibly-last book soon)... It's seldom of me to visit my old entry... but everytime i do i'll spend the whole evening for it.... soaking myself into my old, precious memories....
It's really been a long week end starting from last thursday till today..... took me some while to recall what i have done over the week.... but i guess the most appropiate one word description to my week would be 'obsession'..... feeling obsessed lately....
Thursday. School as usual. Feeling more and more at ease when treating patient.... Sometimes, a bit of self-confidence really make good to better... have to convince myself that i can do it, and i can do it well... Maybe, this apply to myself as well... You can never do things that you thought you cant.
Friday... busy preparing for the Public Health Presentation.... had an unexpectedly easy clinic as i've got no patient that day. Get to know a nice elective student from Australia, it's been really great chatting with other people who share similiar views (especially towards dentistry).... Make me more and more wanted to head to Australia for my elective as well~~
Exam results released that day.... All pass (I mean the whole class pass, not just me....).... Well.... I'd rather have some more competitive exam (meaning i'd rather have fails (even for myself) than pushing everyone to fifth year straight away)..... Both good and bad.
Had the annual dinner with floormates that night..... lots of laughters when the old guys get together.... suddenly have a feeling of home in there.... I'm glad I'm on of them~
Saturday and Sunday... Feel like a loser.... been obsessed... sometimes, excess determination is not a good thing... gotta learn to control myself or else opportunities are gone that way..... I shall bear in mind.
Monday... got my last Paedo Clinic for the year, once again, feeling I'm competent in doing the dental work.... really, that's a good feeling, I'm satisified, the patient is, and most importantly, the tutor is as well.... what more can i ask for??
Farewell to a floormate Ho, who's leaving for Australia..... it's a wonderful dinner~~
Got back to hall and feel extremely tired.... cant imagine i can sleep with my jeans and socks on, without the pillow and face down on my matress..... slept all the way till morning....
Tuesday, once again, dental work filled my day.... got back home and had dinner with family. Heard that my cousin is doing fine for her degree, that's not bad afterall, isnt it? Once again, fallen to sleep immediately after dinner..... this time on my home's lovely crouch.... wake only 5 mins before 9...... had to rush for brushing and got back school~
Wednesday.... late for the morning lesson.... but nothing much missed.... it's a really relaxing lesson coz there's nothing much to discuss (i'm having a group discussion lesson).... spent my afternoon on my presentation thing.... and on evening it's finally the day. Got the work presented.... nothing eventful.... but so glad it's finally over and it had earned me a place to get to Bali for the dental conference in the upcoming september~~ Hurray~~
I guess that shall conclude my last week, I'll keep on writing, though may not be as frequent as before. I'd really appreciate if you'll come visit my place from time to time ^^
PS. Feelings only generate hate. Are man supposed to be without feeling?? Will this make a better place?

Fernando Torres
Welcome to the family, Torres.
You will never walk alone.
From Liverpoolfc.tv
WHY TORRES TICKS THE TACTICAL BOXES
For starters, it's a phrase that's been abused too often in the past. He's here to improve the team as much as possible, not to 'complete' it.
But make no mistake: this is, in himself, a complete centre-forward, with the potential to get better still.
And most importantly, one who changes the dynamics of Liverpool's attack.
Irrespective of his individual ability, which people will always quibble about ('is he world-class?', 'does he score enough goals?', etc), Torres is the type of player who will not only suit Benítez's system but combine unique individual talents with a mature team ethic.
Whether or not he is worth £20m is moot. If you can buy one individual who, as well as contributing directly himself, brings the best out of four or five others, then how do you put a price on that?
And, of course, what he is worth to Liverpool depends on how much he gives the club over the next half-decade (or more), not how he does in the first few weeks of the season when the critics will be hyper-sensitive.
If, in the next few years, he helps land some of the trophies that matter, that will justify the outlay. He doesn't have to score 50 goals and win the World Player of the Year, simply help the team win games. Wayne Rooney only scored 14 league goals last season, but he contributed in a number of ways to United's title success.
Reading a whole host of testimonials made in recent years by many of the the leading lights of the Spanish game –– Frank Rijkaard, Raul, Ronaldo, David Beckham –– it's clear just how highly rated Torres is.
They have waxed lyrical about him. The same applies to his ex-coaches, from youth level up to first-team bosses, and some of La Liga's retired greats.
Each talks in awed terms of Torres' pace, his power, and his skill. But perhaps more tellingly, every last one mentions at least one aspect of his psychological make-up. Because more than anything, it is this last thing that will determine just how much of a success he proves in English football, and is what gives him a much better chance than most.
He is labelled mature, determined, responsible, mentally strong and a winner. To captain Spain's third-biggest club at the age of 19 highlights remarkable personal qualities.
But to also be its local hero, talisman, and principle goalscorer, when that team lacked overall quality, speaks of an ability to handle immense pressure. While he now has the new pressure of a big price tag, he has, at long last, lost the overwhelming burden of carrying an entire club. At Liverpool, others will share that weight.
How he will fare in English football cannot be foretold –– no signing comes with a guarantee –– but what's clear is that Torres has the potential to be a legend at Anfield.
He has never worked with a coach anywhere near as good as Benítez, and certainly not played with so many top-class players at club level. He has the ability, in the right setting, to see his game go up a notch or two from his previously impressive highs.
Torres is not a player whose reputation has been founded on hard, cold figures; he was not so prolific in Spain that his stats were uttered in hushed tones, as proof of some outrageous talent. Having said that, 75 league goals in 173 games, which edges close to a goal every other game, is still a fine record.
But as regular watchers of Spanish football will attest to, he is a footballer who needs to be seen, a footballer capable of special things.
Rather than a great goalscorer, he had been a scorer of great goals. While he may never be ultra-prolific, Torres has that gift of scoring goals out of nothing: a curling shot from distance, an outrageous lob from an unlikely angle, a spectacular flying volley, a thumping header.
It's said by some that Torres misses too many chances. It's also noted that he has never hit 20 league goals, although having managed 19, that's a tad pedantic. In that sense he's like Michael Owen: his best league total for Liverpool was 19, and he was also accused of missing too many chances. But good strikers aren't afraid to miss. The best keep getting back in there, and win the team enough games when it matters. Bad strikers are the ones who never miss any because they shy away.
Torres is also someone who, like Thierry Henry, can create his own chances. And that's a priceless commodity. Anyone who can score goals out of nothing is a valuable asset. Torres runs at defenders with pace and directness (but also intelligence), and that in itself can win a host of free-kicks and penalties, and simply create panic in opposition defences.
Of course, 'panic' is not measured by statistics. But it makes defences crumble, and others can profit. Like Henry, he can drift wide to where he is very comfortable, either to pick the ball up and run infield to shoot, or merely to create space, or chances, for others.
From a tactical point of view Torres ticks all the boxes. The Reds now have a quick striker who can play centrally, either in a pair or, as he did in Spain, on his own: something that never suits smaller strikers, who can't offer the physical presence, and usually require a 'bodyguard'. It instantly limits things, if you have to include one player just to get the best out of another.
It's not so much the quantity of goals Torres will score that will elevate the team, but his ability to score the kind of goals that few other strikers can, and to offer a different threat to the Reds' top duo last season.
While Kuyt and Crouch shared an impressive 32 goals last season, 30 came from within the penalty area. But it's not just that the pair finished these chances in the box –– without fail, they either received the ball inside the box or right on the very edge. That requires accurate supply. What Torres provides is the ability to take the ball into the box himself, perhaps from as far back as his own half; or to score from outside the box with his powerful shooting.
Complete
One thing Rafa Benítez was not able to utilise during his first three years was a 'complete' centre-forward: the quick, strong and tall striker who could be relied upon to score goals as well as link play intelligently, create chances for others, work for the team and hold the ball up.
By this I mean someone along the lines of Didier Drogba and Thierry Henry, or going a little further back, Blackburn-era Alan Shearer, when at his quickest, or Nicolas Anelka, when he burst onto the scene. Ruud van Nistelrooy, when he wasn't being blown over by a gust of wind, was another. It's notable that the aforementioned players all led the line in league title triumphs.
Kuyt and Crouch remain hugely effective players and, in their mid-20s, are still improving. No one in England offers more sweat for the cause than Kuyt –– again, stats don't really measure how the Reds won games like the one in Barcelona, in large part down to his sheer leg-work –– and no other striker in the Premiership can pose the kind of problems Crouch does.
But teams are so much more dangerous with pace in attack, and either of Kuyt or Crouch would benefit from playing alongside Torres, with his ability to get in behind defences. Torres can help Kuyt and Crouch bag more goals, and that's one of the reasons he's been bought. Not to score them all himself. Thirteen of Kuyt's 14 goals last season were close-range finishes, so getting him into those areas more often will help the team. Remember, this is also a player who hit the woodwork seven times, all with fine efforts.
Also, with so many talented midfielders now at the club, Torres gives the option of an attacking 4-5-1, particularly away from home in tougher arenas, where the Spaniard can do the lone striker stuff so well, but also help lead the kinds of lightning breaks that can win such matches.
While Torres' goals record is not remarkable, there are precedents that suggest he could yet turn into a real goal-machine. There are no guarantees, of course, and there will always be so much more to his game than goals, but two of modern football's greatest goal-getters were actually far less prolific at the same stage of their careers.
Torres arrives in England a fraction older than Theirry Henry was when he started his Highbury love-in. Before his move to London, Henry had scored just 23 league goals in 126 games for Monaco and Juventus. While also sometimes utilised as a winger, Henry was not noted for his clinical finishing when playing as a striker.
In a better team, and under a compatriot and mentor who thoroughly understood him, Henry came of age at Arsenal. His career strike rate went from a goal every five games to better than a goal every 1.5 games for Arsenal.
So if that's the example of the overseas' star who came good at 22/23, you can also look at another example closer to home.
Alan Shearer showed little sign of what was to come when, aged 22, he moved from Southampton to Blackburn in 1992. While he'd just enjoyed a fine season at the Dell, he left the south coast with very similar figures to pre-Arsenal Thierry Henry: 23 league goals in 118 games.
In four seasons at the Lancashire club he notched a phenomenal 112 Premiership goals in just 138 games, followed by 148 in 303 league games for Newcastle.
This is not to say Torres will automatically follow suit. But it does show that, at 23, some goalscorers are yet to reach their full potential, and a move to a better team can help unlock it.
Luis Garcia, a great little player, will be missed. But it's a team taking on a new shape.
Harry Kewell is fit and ready, and, if his problems are behind him and he can retain his pace and power, should be like signing a new top-class player.
Andrei Voronin, who often plays behind the main striker and who can also play in midfield, is another quick and powerful frontrunner. Not an out-and-out striker, he averaged a respectable one-in-three for Bayer Leverkusen, and is someone who can fit Benítez's ideal of four attacking players sharing 15 goals each. It's clear the Reds will be a big, strong side –– but, crucially, not at the expense of skill. All of these are technically gifted players.
While the elements continue to fall into place, the opposition haven't been idle, either, and even mid-tier teams are spending fortunes. While Torres will almost certainly improve the Reds significantly, the competition for the title will be hotter than ever.
All Benítez can do is make Liverpool better, and for me, Torres is one player who perfectly fits the bill.
You will never walk alone.
From Liverpoolfc.tv
WHY TORRES TICKS THE TACTICAL BOXES
For starters, it's a phrase that's been abused too often in the past. He's here to improve the team as much as possible, not to 'complete' it.
But make no mistake: this is, in himself, a complete centre-forward, with the potential to get better still.
And most importantly, one who changes the dynamics of Liverpool's attack.
Irrespective of his individual ability, which people will always quibble about ('is he world-class?', 'does he score enough goals?', etc), Torres is the type of player who will not only suit Benítez's system but combine unique individual talents with a mature team ethic.
Whether or not he is worth £20m is moot. If you can buy one individual who, as well as contributing directly himself, brings the best out of four or five others, then how do you put a price on that?
And, of course, what he is worth to Liverpool depends on how much he gives the club over the next half-decade (or more), not how he does in the first few weeks of the season when the critics will be hyper-sensitive.
If, in the next few years, he helps land some of the trophies that matter, that will justify the outlay. He doesn't have to score 50 goals and win the World Player of the Year, simply help the team win games. Wayne Rooney only scored 14 league goals last season, but he contributed in a number of ways to United's title success.
Reading a whole host of testimonials made in recent years by many of the the leading lights of the Spanish game –– Frank Rijkaard, Raul, Ronaldo, David Beckham –– it's clear just how highly rated Torres is.
They have waxed lyrical about him. The same applies to his ex-coaches, from youth level up to first-team bosses, and some of La Liga's retired greats.
Each talks in awed terms of Torres' pace, his power, and his skill. But perhaps more tellingly, every last one mentions at least one aspect of his psychological make-up. Because more than anything, it is this last thing that will determine just how much of a success he proves in English football, and is what gives him a much better chance than most.
He is labelled mature, determined, responsible, mentally strong and a winner. To captain Spain's third-biggest club at the age of 19 highlights remarkable personal qualities.
But to also be its local hero, talisman, and principle goalscorer, when that team lacked overall quality, speaks of an ability to handle immense pressure. While he now has the new pressure of a big price tag, he has, at long last, lost the overwhelming burden of carrying an entire club. At Liverpool, others will share that weight.
How he will fare in English football cannot be foretold –– no signing comes with a guarantee –– but what's clear is that Torres has the potential to be a legend at Anfield.
He has never worked with a coach anywhere near as good as Benítez, and certainly not played with so many top-class players at club level. He has the ability, in the right setting, to see his game go up a notch or two from his previously impressive highs.
Torres is not a player whose reputation has been founded on hard, cold figures; he was not so prolific in Spain that his stats were uttered in hushed tones, as proof of some outrageous talent. Having said that, 75 league goals in 173 games, which edges close to a goal every other game, is still a fine record.
But as regular watchers of Spanish football will attest to, he is a footballer who needs to be seen, a footballer capable of special things.
Rather than a great goalscorer, he had been a scorer of great goals. While he may never be ultra-prolific, Torres has that gift of scoring goals out of nothing: a curling shot from distance, an outrageous lob from an unlikely angle, a spectacular flying volley, a thumping header.
It's said by some that Torres misses too many chances. It's also noted that he has never hit 20 league goals, although having managed 19, that's a tad pedantic. In that sense he's like Michael Owen: his best league total for Liverpool was 19, and he was also accused of missing too many chances. But good strikers aren't afraid to miss. The best keep getting back in there, and win the team enough games when it matters. Bad strikers are the ones who never miss any because they shy away.
Torres is also someone who, like Thierry Henry, can create his own chances. And that's a priceless commodity. Anyone who can score goals out of nothing is a valuable asset. Torres runs at defenders with pace and directness (but also intelligence), and that in itself can win a host of free-kicks and penalties, and simply create panic in opposition defences.
Of course, 'panic' is not measured by statistics. But it makes defences crumble, and others can profit. Like Henry, he can drift wide to where he is very comfortable, either to pick the ball up and run infield to shoot, or merely to create space, or chances, for others.
From a tactical point of view Torres ticks all the boxes. The Reds now have a quick striker who can play centrally, either in a pair or, as he did in Spain, on his own: something that never suits smaller strikers, who can't offer the physical presence, and usually require a 'bodyguard'. It instantly limits things, if you have to include one player just to get the best out of another.
It's not so much the quantity of goals Torres will score that will elevate the team, but his ability to score the kind of goals that few other strikers can, and to offer a different threat to the Reds' top duo last season.
While Kuyt and Crouch shared an impressive 32 goals last season, 30 came from within the penalty area. But it's not just that the pair finished these chances in the box –– without fail, they either received the ball inside the box or right on the very edge. That requires accurate supply. What Torres provides is the ability to take the ball into the box himself, perhaps from as far back as his own half; or to score from outside the box with his powerful shooting.
Complete
One thing Rafa Benítez was not able to utilise during his first three years was a 'complete' centre-forward: the quick, strong and tall striker who could be relied upon to score goals as well as link play intelligently, create chances for others, work for the team and hold the ball up.
By this I mean someone along the lines of Didier Drogba and Thierry Henry, or going a little further back, Blackburn-era Alan Shearer, when at his quickest, or Nicolas Anelka, when he burst onto the scene. Ruud van Nistelrooy, when he wasn't being blown over by a gust of wind, was another. It's notable that the aforementioned players all led the line in league title triumphs.
Kuyt and Crouch remain hugely effective players and, in their mid-20s, are still improving. No one in England offers more sweat for the cause than Kuyt –– again, stats don't really measure how the Reds won games like the one in Barcelona, in large part down to his sheer leg-work –– and no other striker in the Premiership can pose the kind of problems Crouch does.

Once again~
Once again... waking in the most ridiculous hour of the day...
Dunno why i can not put myself into bed again...
Nevermind, some music and light reading is going to bright my day~

Day-off
Great, it's such a lovely day.
It's so good to have a day-off in the middle of the week, that really recharge myself for the latter part of my week.... Glad I've used it well.
My best buddy Jeff is finally back.... Life is always fun to have friends around you... We headed to the newly opened Mega Box and shop around a bit... had a great lunch there and as usual, great movie~ Die Hard 4.0 (or Live Free or Die Hard, whichever way you call it) is quite a good movie, adrenaline-raising action thriller, and Bruce Willis is good as before...
Finally got my temporary driving license... longing for the day when i get my own car (Ferrari for sure) and drive around~
Have you ever have the feeling that people are all connected? And you can actually 'feel' them? I got such strong feeling today that my hatred seems to sear through my flesh...

Righteousness.
Kind of overestimated my own ability and underestimated the poor quality of my dental work in junior form and certain degree of 'shit-happen'ness.... Today is the perfect demostration of why not to put yourself in full gear when it's the first day back in school....
Originally I'm close to finishing most of the procedure for my patient with the cementation of a crown.... Right before I'm going to cement it, i found that the tooth has some problem... I can either leave it there or to investigate.... i chose the latter.... Once i knew that the restoration has dislodged.... I could simply recement it.... hoping that nothing would go wrong (as some dentist in private practice will do).... somehow feel that this is not the right thing to do... I did not care how much more work I'll have to do, at least I can feel good with my conscience.
Really proud that I can make this decision today.... dunno if you ask me the same question 2 years from now on, will I be able to do the same.... I dont want to think too much... just for the fact that i had been a good dentist, that's it. (or maybe I'll never be a dentist, who knows?)
Got a burn in my stomach today in lunchtime... I really shouldnt eat, I'd rather have a shot of alcohol to numb myself.

Amnesia.
電影《無痛失戀》的情節成真！美國及加拿大的研究人員成功利用藥物幫助人們忘掉不快記憶，以後要「無痛失戀」，毋須像戲中主角占基利般光顧洗腦公司，只需吃一片藥即可！
原用於治高血壓心絞痛
加拿大麥吉爾大學及美國哈佛大學的精神病學家利用一隻名叫「propranolol」的藥物，成功「抑制」心理創傷病人的部分記憶，但其他記憶則不受影響。「propranolol」普遍用來治療高血壓及心絞痛，副作用是會令病人失去部分記憶。
研究人員找來19名意外或強姦受害者分成兩組接受研究，要求其中一組一邊憶述10多年前的可怕經歷，一邊服用「propranolol」。10天後，研究人員發現服藥的一組受害者回憶起可怕經歷時，心跳沒有那麼快，少了緊張的徵象。
「毋忘記憶 免不快情緒吞噬」
麥吉爾大學的納德教授解釋說：「回憶往事時，我們腦部會從記憶庫中存取及復元舊記憶。我們的做法是在病人復元記憶的過程期間，給病人吃藥，以減少記憶帶來的情緒作用。藥物只會影響記憶的情緒部分，不會影響到記憶的意識部分，因此病人會記得所有細節，卻不會被回憶帶來的情緒吞噬。」
研究人員認為，記憶的運作好比製造玻璃，玻璃製造時先經過高溫融化階段，降溫後才成形。記憶也一樣，回憶往事時，記憶先經過一個不穩定的「融化階段」，後才成形，故可用藥物「干擾」記憶重新成形過程。
此外，紐約大學科學家在另一個研究中成功將老鼠腦內一個特定記憶刪取，但保持老鼠其他的完整記憶。研究人員播放兩種音樂給實驗老鼠聽，在播放時同時對老鼠施以輕微電擊，令老鼠將兩種音樂與電擊聯繫在一起。研究人員接讓老鼠聽其中一種音樂時，給一半老鼠吃一隻叫「U0126」、會令人短暫失憶的藥物。結果發現，吃了藥的老鼠不再將這種音樂與電擊聯繫在一起，但在聽見另一種音樂時，仍做好被電擊的準備，因此證實藥物只刪取了一個特定記憶。
Isnt this interesting and great?

Waking in the middle of nowhere.
Just popped up... looking at the bright sunshine from the windows, without second thought i was on full alert..... it'd be bad if i go late on my very first day back to school.... but luckily, no fear was unfound... I couldnt get myself to bed again.... I guess I'll use this time to gather myself and think of the procedures I'm going to work on my patients today..... pretty good mental exercise.
Forgot to mention in my last post, I had watched the "Departed" by Martin Scorsese... When was the last time they give the Best Director award to those who copied directly from others??

Finally
Finally.... I have the time to sit down and think.
My exam is officially over.... I'm going to spend the next few days getting myself ready and enjoy the last bit of life before heading for school and work again in July~
Quite a lot had happened in the last week... It's one of the best week I've ever lived...
Our Dental Army lost the game... but anyways, it's really good effort.... We're actually looking for friendly invitation to other teams as well, interested?
Got sunburn because i've spent too much time outdoor.... I love my sun tan though~
Spent a really wonderful evening with my grandparents... may god bless them with good health and happy lifes~
Getting to know how to enjoy life... a wonderful restaurant, a friend or 2, delicious cusines and a good red wine will make any day an extraordinary one.
From some sources I learn that i might be able to stay in RC Lee Hall for my last year of study.... um... I've never thought of leaving anyways.... I hope this's good for me.
Got so many plans for future, especially the short term goal of travelling and the mid term goal of going to Aussie and New Zealand for elective studies and even a further one of backpacking in Europe for 3 whole months once i graduated.... Wow.... just cant wait any longer~~~ (I must get my driving license this summer, in order to do my road trip in Aussie~~)
"Clench your fist, you get nothing; spread your palm, and you get the world." Start to understand this more and more... I actually feel alive again when i can learn how to take things easy on me... Maybe I'll be happier this way~
Want to say sorry to a dear friend of mine... Thanks for everything that you have done... It's always good to know how being loved I am... but it's just that I'm not ready to engage myself for relationship at this time... I wish you well.

幸福的...預感
Do you believe in dreams?
If not, then nevermind.
But if you do, I had one funny experience with dream lately.
Have you ever had the experience of waking up in the middle of the night, knowing that you just had a dream (or nightmare, the worst case).... You dont really remember the details of the dream, but mine is such a sweet dream that make me snigger in the middle of my sleep... All seems so real and sweet.... it's seems like the best time of my life have all concentrated in that short dream.....
Wanna know my dream??
Ha ha, I'm just going to keep it all to myself.
Thanks my yet-to-meet friend Claire, you've completed me.
I'm finally enjoying my summer lately (though i still have exam to go.... but I dont care..... it's the only time I can do what i want before school resume again in the summer).... Go gaming, do some reading (currenly on "2nd Chance" by James Peterson, a book on a homicide detective)... enjoy particularly the time spent under the sun.... Had a softball training in P2 today.... I'm completely burnt but it really feels great, especially with all my teammates so spirited and fun. We're gonna make it.... gotta beat Wei Lun on Saturday~ Wish me luck~
Had a wonderful dinner with my ex-floormates tonight, really looking forward to the day when I start working and can start to enjoy my life.... really looking forward to this~

Happy Random thoughts.
Feeling good...
Though the important topics which i spent almost the whole night reading turns out to be not so important.
And I've almost trash-write the whole of my exam paper....
But isnt that spirit behind the epidemiology? Trash-talking and wasting the resources... and earn up showing some result....
I guess I'm naturally good in this subject.
Can't resist to take a photo with this lovely baby below.
Ferrari 550. One word: SEXY.
That's a turn-on for both male and female.
I'm gonna own a Ferrari, no matter what.
Took a nap in the pantry while watching my floormates to play with Wii.... it's so much fun watching the funny gesture of them while playing Wario.... wa ha ha~~ So much fun....
Went to have hot pot dinner with my dental classmates... really crazy (as usual) and it's so memorable.... too bad i can not join the K later tonight (they're still singing now, envious~).... really wanted to meet more often~
Jogged tonight... feel so bad when i have only jogged for a short distance (lack of sleep and a full stomach, maybe).... Had a spilit second thought that i might die tonight...... intolerable pain on the diaphagm.... muscle cramp.... come on, I want my healthy body back.
Suddenly got reminded of the softball match that me and our Dental Army is going to have... against Wei Lun Hall..... I'm going to practice the whole day tomorrow.... Faith is our greatest weapon, we're gonna beat them
Finally feel that my 'life' is coming back.... though i still have exam coming up.... but hey, i dont care.... Seize the day....
Really tired now, shall sleep now, I'll enjoy my sweet dreams ^^
Though the important topics which i spent almost the whole night reading turns out to be not so important.
And I've almost trash-write the whole of my exam paper....
But isnt that spirit behind the epidemiology? Trash-talking and wasting the resources... and earn up showing some result....
I guess I'm naturally good in this subject.
Can't resist to take a photo with this lovely baby below.
Ferrari 550. One word: SEXY.
That's a turn-on for both male and female.
I'm gonna own a Ferrari, no matter what.
Took a nap in the pantry while watching my floormates to play with Wii.... it's so much fun watching the funny gesture of them while playing Wario.... wa ha ha~~ So much fun....
Went to have hot pot dinner with my dental classmates... really crazy (as usual) and it's so memorable.... too bad i can not join the K later tonight (they're still singing now, envious~).... really wanted to meet more often~

Worst preparation.
Just had the worst preparation for exam in my life.
My most hated subject, Statistics (frankly... not so much hate... but just.... i can see no point setting an exam on this)....
Slacked off.... should have started reading it earlier.... but somehow... just too much temptation and I love my bed and the movies.... that's why....
Staying up all night trying to use my reasoning to figure out where the reasons lie....
I'm glad that though i didnt sleep, i still feel my brain's functioning....
Sill memorizing all the figure related to dentistry in HK.... you know what's the mean decayed, missing and filled teeth in HK for an adult? It's 0.7, 3.9 and 2.8 respectively, okay?
I guess I'll deserve my good sleep after the exam. My next (and last subject) is on the 27th, still got some time to go.
Please, wish my luck, I'll need this greatly.
PS. Kelly Clarkson's new albume released.
PS2. Congratulations to Real Madrid, who have won their 30th League Title (I dont particularly like Real Madrid... but somehow, it's good to see Beckham to leave with some honour....)

Finally time to settle down.
Finally got myself time to slow down and thought of what happened over the past week...
So many things had happened...
I am still in exam right now.... but just lucky to have a few days break in between to catch some breathe....
My exam is just so-so.... know some and answer some wrongly and forget some.... Dont want to think too much about it but all i know is that i got to start reading for the next subject once i woke up from my sleep (next exam is on Monday... 2 days to go)
Had attended the farewell night (I have never went to any one of them before, cause they basically clash with my exam schedule..... but anyways, i felt the urge to go to this one... coz i have a strong sense that this might well be my last High Table ever attended..... So many feelings when i look at myself in the past (they have kind of a slide show showing our old pictures and stuff~).... great memories.... no matter if i stay here for another year or not, RC plays an essential part in my U life....)
To those who are leaving this lovely hall, may God bless you with the very best of life.
To those who are staying, please.... do your best and make this place a better place.
Okay. Enough sentiment... I'd better get back to cleaning my room, my room has been in a state of war since i seriously start my 'reading' (i wouldnt call it revision coz most stuff that i read is all new to me)... laundry piling, dust layered.... so glad that i can finally get the room in order again.... (I really should have done this earlier... but my only available time has been spent with friends... treasure so much the time spent with them.... chatting with you is the best relieve and pleasure that i have in the times when i am so depressed..... Thanks)
Fall in love with Japanese food lately.... find plenty of good restaurant around.... but i am so poor now >.< will anyone buy me meals???
Got so much want to write... but better leave it till next time cause I'm really tired... I just wish the exam's soon over when I can live my life again.
P.S. Janice, all the best for your studies, I will pray for you.
