Holiday.

Turns out I can sleep pretty much.....

Friday went for work as usual, lunch for gym and night hung out with Kennon and Co.

Finally met Jackie since he entered training..... i guess one day I can grew as strong as he does.

Faith in Police force somewhat faltered as i realize the cruel fact of money..... gosh..... need to find ways to earn more.

Saturday. Work again. Night with colleagues for my farewell dinner.... great japanese food.... more photos to be uploaded at facebook soon.

Finally I can have my Sunday off. Cool~ Gonna switch off the mobile and alarm and get a good night sleep.

Gas Chamber.

Skipped blogging for a day as life routine is disrupted....

Wednesday for work till late, before heading out for dinner with friends and game watching.

The place we chose is not a good one... with people chain smoking beside us i had the feeling I'm locked up in a gas chamber waiting to be executed...... now i had a feeling why the government is so desperate to ban smoking in public place. Smart move.

The game between Barcelona and Manure is well over once hitting the 20 mins mark, with manure never get back to the game it's somewhat a one-sided match. Hurray to Barcelona! (Not that i'm fans for barca, only that i hated manure much more~)

Thursday. A rare holiday for me since taking up this job. Spent on nothing but sleep (literally speaking), coz i've started sleeping from 7am till 4 pm...... then from 5pm again till 10...... it's now time for me to sleep again..... for how long can i sleep? It's time to put it to test.

Sleep.

Gosh.... slept over today.... but doesnt really matter, as i got only one patient the whole day.....

My work time is spent sleeping mostly.

Went to the bank again and apply for the statement again. It's an inconvenient but pleasant trip.

Night for work out. I have slacked off for few days already.

Time to sleep now.

I longed for movie.

With so many good movies lately, I have yet to watch single one of them.... what a shame.

At work this morning, working pretty much like a voluntary dentist, charging the patient the miminum cost only..... well, a good deed a day will brighten the day.

Afternoon was crazily busy, working the paperworks for the vetting procedure..... was kept signing consent after consent...... and have perfected the 'scribbling' of my own signature..... tired. (NB. Have no idea why after so many applications for my old bank statement, I still have a month of statement missing...... gosh.... gotta wait for another week.....)

Dinner with Jeff. It's time to set some aim for myself.

Time to sleep. Will write again tmr.

My weekend.

My weekend is spent on work..... as expected.

Temperature in HK cant be worse..... hot and humid..... gosh.

Worked out on Saturday and slacked off on Sunday.

Had a farewell dinner with colleagues on Saturday night. Happy times. Check my facebook for photos.

Sunday is a day with no patient. End up doing scaling for my 3 nurses.

I hate uncertainties..... please finish all vetting procedure asap and give me the damn offer!

Headache and tired. Need to sleep.

Surgery is okay.

The surgery on my left eye was a bit different than before, this time it's a LASIK + MMC procedure.... so right now all the epithelium on my left cornea was scrapped away and i have to put on a 'bandage' contact lens 24/7 for one week to protect the wound.... luckily it's not hurting too much~ Though my vision is a bit blurred tho..... which remind me of a song: 濛 by 麥浚龍.

"眼前若變朦　便有好夢　平凡人亦可輕易被神化"

Waiting and waiting, my heart has drifted to police department already~

It's going to be an interesting 9 months in PTS, I have high hopes. And you?

Crazy day.

Very busy at work yesterday.

End up without going to gym..... darn...

Earned a total of 8000 dollars for my boss..... dental is such a good profession for money earning.

Tempted by the government offer of dental officer..... some 40k per month.... and working 9 till 5.... um.... tempting.

Feel the first stress of police work already. Got call late around 7 in the evening, requesting to submit all my documents by 9 am the next day..... can they be more considerate? Shame.......

Worked my arse off till 5 in the morning for the work..... luckily i have an easy day today.

Will have a touch up surgery on my left eye today. Hope the wound wont hurt too bad.

Worth a laugh.

Tuesday with Morrie.

Started reading this book today.

I've only read half of it, but it's irresistable...

It's worth its fame.

Start counting down to my final days in dental.

Again, gym is awesome. At least one hour per day.

Work out is good.

Burning life away.... a bit at a time....

The only meaningful thing today was the gym at lunch~

Look forward to tomorrow~

Tongue-tied.

I hate the feeling of being tongue tied....

Got so much wanted to say.... but failed to find the right words..... all the speech ever came out is nothing but lame....

開不了口.... sigh.

Nothing much in the weekend. It's been great dining out with friends.

I look forward to the future challenges.

醫德

What is 醫德?

I feel treating your patient with heart and do the best you can is the basic of a doctor/dentist. The very minimum you must do.

Every time when a patient point out how I cared for them, I cant stop thinking how awful their previous dentist was.

Why cant they simply spent a few more minutes with the patient than waste their time in clinic? Is it really that hard?

I'm a loser. I am not the best in dental field.... and worse still, I can not change the attitude of other dentist..... I feel totally hopeless about this so-called profession. I must leave.

Learning to relax.

Some things in life are uncontrollable.

So you need to learn how to relax.

Especially when you face something you feared.

I understand this when I was in the pool today.

Tense up, and you sink; Learning to relax, you float.

Simple as that.

And that's the way of life too.

PS. Lucky day at work. Co-operative patient, simple procedures, what more can i ask for?

Very busy at work.

Today is crazy.

It's one of the days when you can hardly let your guard down. Starting from the 70+ elderly for extraction of 7 teeth to the last patient that i literally scaled him to tears (I'm just doing my best. No grudge)

Exhausted, the gym in the middle of the day is good though.

Had my 'told-you-so' moment at night when my boss come yelling about his X-ray and dental chair not working.... well... i knew this is going to happen some day..... Told you so.

So no need to work in the morning today when the mainteinence guy will come and fix things up. I can enjoy my good sleep now.

Till tomorrow.

Thank you to 2 friends/patients.

Work in the morning as usual.

Lunch time spent wisely for gym. Only had my meal in tea time (A festive sized Pizza Hut Tea Sets *Notice the 's' in Sets)

Again, working with the vetting and background checking stuff.

Seems like an ordinary day before getting a call from my Uni Chong mates, Josephine.

She had seen a dentist at private practice and the dentist there suggested that she need to extract her wisdom tooth due to caries, however he will not be the one doing the surgery coz (the dentist said) the wisdom tooth is too close to the ID nerve and my friend will need surgical consultation with the specialist, and the dentist do nothing but gave analgesics. She called me for advice and I ask her to take some radiographs such that i can make proper referral..... Here is the fun part, once i took the radiograph.... the so called 'deeply impacted' wisdom tooth is nothing more than a text-book case for extraction...... well, what can i say? Since when had I became a specialist..... it's really unlawful to let the patient in pain if money is the only concern...... Simple extraction.

You dont have to thank me for anything, Josephine. I should be the one thanking you coz you make me feel I've made the right choice in studying dental (though I'll be leaving this field very soon), I can help my friends when they're in need..... at least i know i'm a good dentist through your case.

Another notable patient/friend i have today is Lo Kai Pong..... after knowing how crazy my uni life was and still willing to let me do examination is a lot of courage~ I salute you~

PS. I now have like..... 4000 coins in the arcade after playing with Lo Kai tonight at the slot machines..... how can i spend them all?

Vetting procedure continues.

Going here and there whole day for the collection of documents for the background check.

Left with little time to work.

Leave alone gym.

Was feeling weak this 2 weeks, was having stomache, and worse still, i started having tensional headache (i suppose) from today..... i need to sleep and need it soon.

Next time then.

Fun in Crime investigation.

I feel the vetting procedure is nothing but a training for the police-to-be.

Tracing where you own money goes is a tedious work.

But interesting, i found a sum of $5000 dollars missing from my bank account~ Where did it go?

Is it, somekind of scam by the bank? Normally I'd not spent that much without knowing....

Um.... gotta 'interrogate' the bank official tomorrow.

Feels like detectives in commercial crime bureau already.

Nothing much today, Lunch and a good nap makes the day.

Need to find time for swimming soon.

楊千嬅- 塔羅迷

Anyone know the piece of music at the start of this video? I've heard of it for long long time, but still, it's a shame i dont know where it come from.

Tarot.

Hell tired from last night.

Was in no working condition whole day in clinic, spent my time wisely by dozing off in between every patient.

Got dinner with friends in a poshy italian restaurant in TST. Damn expensive but it's a comfy place.

Went to 'temple street' and had a fortune-telling with tarot. It's kind of freakish as the hostess can interpret my situation quite correctly with her cards... um.... should i.... ask the question that i want to ask desperately? Or am I just too fearful if the truth is not what i wanted i will be deterred? I dont know. I gotta know her better.

Life continue to burn away.

Dentistry is not that hard, given that you want to try.

Finished a wisdom tooth extraction in record time first thing in the morning.

Afterall, it's not that bad.

Lunch spent in the gym room, i desperately need some result in short period of time, practice is the only way.

Please do not bother me with any non-my-work-related business, cause i'm not suppose to be the one settling it or shall i be responsible.

A bit despise on the dental work of my boss. It's such a shame.

Dinner with the usual JIC 'gang' (given the mess we've created). Drink till late (no drink for me tho, just coke and water) and seriously, i hate second-hand smoking.

Gotta sleep, before the sun rises.

Continually wasting life.

Life as usual.

Work on Wednesday, gym in lunch time.... totally exhasusted.... feeling the back of my eye lid burning when i drop dead on my bed.

Thursday. Nothing much happened.... once again have the feeling that i'm really burning life at clinic. Though i got my pay check today, but still..... still feeling unsatisfied.

I've finally collected all my bank statements and stuff, gotta tidy them up in Sunday and live a new life as soon as possible.

Got news from my blood test.... everytime the lab result turns up something new to worry about. Gotta have blood test again in 2 weeks time.

Wasting life.

Work each day.... feeling it's a waste of life.

Shouldnt I be doing something more meaningful than wasting life away in clinic?

Got some sore muscles from yesterday..... Good thing is, I really tried my best..... Bad being I feel tired from the test already, will I be able to endure the 36 weeks?

Forgot to write about my potential training-mate..... most of them are fresh grad.... makes me feel I'm old~ But i guess age do give some wisdom and maturity, as I feel some counterparts need to grow up a bit more for the police work.... hope i'm not getting judgemental.

Fitness today.

Fitness test result today. Doing some better than previously thought, and some worse....

Item Minimum Actual
Vertical Jump 45.7cm 26"
Pull up 5 2
Shuttle run 26s 25.1
Sit-up 17 17
Squat-thrust 14 11
800m 3'25" 3'06'

Some items need further training.... but sure it's not today.

Got a great dinner with Horace and Domineque tonight..... breaking abstinence once in a while is good.

Having trouble trying to breath.

I'm hyperventilating....

All symptoms will subside once i finish the fitness test.

Heart Attack.

Was having an heart attack whole day this afternoon.

Every thoughts about the upcoming fitness makes my stomach turns.

Things will finally be settled for good after tomorrow.

Make or Miss.

Annoying patient.

I hate talkative patient.

I hate patient who said nothing, but then complain unendlessly afterwards.

I hate patient telling me what to do (like they're the dentist themselves..... feel free to use the instrument and fix yourself up)

I've been seeing all these patients in the same day.....

Feeling pissed.

But still..... I learned how to divide between work and my life.

Besides, It's the last few times I'll see a dentist, right?

Nevermind, Whatever.

Chong reunion.

Pretty normal work day today.

Overcame my fear for retained root extraction and performed 3 in a row.

Kennon is back in town, though our meeting this time is a bit short though.

More and more feel relaxed at the current job.... which consist of time spent on movies.

Had a chong reunion tonight since Alan is back for holiday. It's been a long while since we met. Shame Cindy and Josephine is not with us tonight..... Let's see if we can meet again before Alan leave.

Got tips from Inspector Sam. Got some more areas to work on now...... but feel more relaxed towards the fitness test on Monday.

PS. I feel.... I've lost the urge to protect those around me..... becoming insensitive? I dunno, just hope not.

Qualities of a man.

I need some more maturity and physical fitness in order to become a policeman.

Patience...... that takes time.

Lovely dinner last night..... hope to catch up with my floormates this afternoon.
