Hectic.

As explained yesterday, I started the day with a slight handicap.... My intray was already full when I first set foot in my office.

That wouldnt be such a problem if my boss will let me be and work my file through...

After I submit my 'amended and amended' legal advice cover report to him around noon.... he thought it'd be nice if I can give some lectures to all uniformed branch staff on how to handle a scene of death... given my medical background...

Well, on this aspect, he's absolutely right... I did have the expertise in forensic science... but he wanted the presentation to be done at 3 in the afternoon.....

Just 3 hours left for a presentation that is going to last for 30 mins, with 100 audiences?? That's a bit too much, isnt it?

"It's simple, just a few power point slides will do." <- How dare you dream of ppt as well?

"Please also amend the checklist for handling death case." <- Boss, how many pair of hands do you think I have? Are you out of your mind??

Screw it.... I'm the kind of staff who wont say no to boss.

I used my own way to relieve stress.... grabbing two colleagues and put on my running shoes... a short jog to deep water bay is good.

During the jog I basically had the skeleton of the topics laid out.... I basically stopped the operation of my whole unit just to cater for this unnecessary/outrageous demand.

Inbetween 1400 hours and 1500 hours.... I'm a writer, a thinker, a commander, a manager, a typist, an angry man and a depressed small potato, all in one. Fortunately with the help of my colleages, the tasks were completed just 'in/on' time.

When I took the stage, my scripts were still hot from the laser printer....

The presentation goes alright... it's good that I still have some tricks up my sleeve that I could 'wow' the crowd (given that some of them are old serving officers.... they've seen it)

I'm not too satisfied with the quality of powerpoint.... but given the effort, I can have no complaint.

My mind drifted back to the days in college/university.

The 'what the hell' attitude had pushed me to the same corner many times before.

Messing around in pantry till late (5 in morning), only to remember I got a presentation at 9 later that day....

A can of red bull and some half hour work.... I got an B and some who've worked the whole week only got C....

Been chilling out in LKF or playing MJ with floormates right before the day of final year 1/2 exam... a good McDonald breakfast as starter and my exams were fine...

Procrastinating as I struggled whether to continue studying Year 5 Dental.... when I gave up my all and lived a 'social withdrawal' life....

Only in the last minute that I got some inspiration.... I should not waste my life...

One weekend... I rushed up a log case report that sums up my 5 years of training and my elective studies...

I even get distinction for the Viva exam....

Those were the days....

Really memorable experience...

It seems, man's potential got driven to the fullest extent at the time of crisis.

And I'm glad I'm always a believer of "Less input, Maximum output"

It worked.... again.

My current job is great.

There's not even a single second of boredom.

Every second is with new challenges.

Sometimes, a bit of stress is what we needed.... it drove us better.

Just gotta learn how to manage the stress.

It's the adrenaline rush that makes me high...

The mind was so clear when I need to focus...

It's so spiritual, Zen-like.

All in all, it's been a great day.

PS. I wanted to watch the 'King's Speech' more and more...

When'll everyone be free?
