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 In current hong kong this ship seems so out of place, it is slow, is obsolete...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.

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.
