day one

for the past 5 years, there's this day which i'm scared of, and yet look forward to, today is day 1 of my final MB... things didnt turn out too bad... it isnt a big thing really, whether i did well or terrible... it's going to be nth in few weeks time... there's one thing mum's been teaching me... anything looking really big in front of me now will only be a trivial part of my life...

miss blah

last night in the middle of my norton live update, i was prompted to restart computer... stupid me forgot to remove a floppy disk inside the A: drive... the incident was complicated by my A: drive going into deep deep coma...

today, i ring the lenovo ppl... i'm told the curative treatment is to format my computer... despite the bad news, i'm truly impressed by the efficiency of lenovo staff... i cant be bothered to check out the user manual so just randomly dial a lenovo number and ask for support hotline... without much waiting, they pick up the line and answer my Q to the point without putting me through here and there (which unfortunately happens to a lot of big companies in hk)... and the technician is very helpful and patient... after the call, they even email me instructions to format my computer... also, starting today, i'll respect ppl who dont pronounce the 26 alphabets correctly...

when u ring a hotline, it connects, u listen to bach and/or mozart for some 5-10 minutes... then an operator picks up... the first thing they do is to ask for your name... once u tell them your name is blah, they'd replace all the you with miss blah...

if miss blah would now right click the icon, miss blah should now see a screen with...

amazing, isnt it? a 5-min conversation now lasts 6 mins... no wonder lines are always busy and they have to play mozart...

i dunno a thing about marketing, maybe that's evidence-based-customer-satisfaction-strategy... the senior ppl must think this is very courteous way of conversation... i personally think an you would irritate a lot less customers...

special units

i hv a favourite question for my family and friends... "hv u missed me?" i ask this Q up to some 5 times a day... the answer is usually no... i understand it's kinda bothersome... but i hope that they bear with me... it's like my way to say hi...

occasionally someone has mercy on me and says yes... then i hv special units to quantify the amount of missing me... a tree? 2 trees? a forest? a mountain? a sea? the greatest would be the sky... i can tell when they're not telling the truth... i'm pretty happy still to hear a yes whether or not it's real... think it's kinda sweet... so thanks for cheering me up and pls keep it up...

med lib

i'm back in my beloved med lib... hvnt been here for quite a while... um... i'm a bit disappointed that i dont see whom i want to see most... there're quite some ppl around, faces that i dunno... only a handful of final yr ppl... where are they??? no one likes here becoz it's a boring place... look i'm bored too so i hopped to this computer and type sth pointless... well, that's the point of hving a blog i guess... a place for me to bs...

humid humid

for the past 3 days, i live in the cloud... according to weather report, humidity was 97% last night... i'm sure it's totally saturated here... u know when a dehumidifier has a full tank, it stops... that's what happened in my living room this morning... and my tv remote control refused to work today... i thought it's out of battery, so i changed it... still not working, not until a minute ago... diagnosis? remote controls dosent work in 100% saturated environment... dad's asking me to get up 0300 tonight to empty the tank, blur...

stress

some 10 days to go before the finals... finally i feel the stress... recently i'm a bit depressed... i hv this feeling i'm not going to make it... sigh... i'm going thru' these notes each day and i hv no idea what i'm doing... the rabbit says everyone goes thru' that... well i guess he's right... hope that i'm not the only one...

one thing cheered me up though... i think it's him... he told him... therefore he found my baby blog... and he visited it... he left me comment and he add a link to his website... omg... me so excited... wot better way to publicize?

st. valentine's day dinner

since last yr... i started celebrating st. v. day with chinese dining... it's great, becoz chinese restaurants are never fully booked... and i dont get to eat expensive set dinner food which usually doesnt taste good...

this yr, i went to the same chinese restaurant harbour road no. 1... to my disappointment, the food didnt really keep up to standard... a bit too salty this time... they're good... but i mean, it's a fine chinese resturant in a 6-star hotel... i'd expect the best...

dont u notice it? for many restaurants, when u find it good for the 1st time, u decide to revisit for a 2nd... and 3rd time... by the 3rd... u're usually disappointed that it's not up to it's previous standard and decided not to go again... it isnt the first time that this happens to me... so another one off my favourite restaurants list... sad...

getting up early

i hvnt been geting up early since surgical clerkship... mornings here are too cold for me to get out of bed... today, i got up real early to see some surgical patients... my day began at 0650...

what i wanna say is, it's quite amazing to find it's only 0945 when i've already clerked some patients, had breakfast and clerked some more patients... by noon, when i'm normally still in bed... many tasks are already completed...

when it's a good use of time to wake up early, the cost is being drowsy and slow... it's only 2 weeks before exam... and i'm making all the stupid mistakes during case clerking... failed to detect a pleural effusion, failed to differentiate a brisk jerk from a normal jerk... and there's this nice and enthusiastic houseman trying to give me some guidance on short cases... and i acted like a complete idiot... so much so the houseman doubted if i'm going to pass my final MB... omg... worst of all, medicine's my bigbig favourite... sigh... maybe it's related to getting up early... maybe that's just an excuse... no matter what it is... it's no no no good to shake my confidence at this critical time...

ear rings

i've never thought about piercing my ears (nor anywhere over my body) all my life... like it's never my business at all... partly becoz of pain... partly becoz i didnt feel like hving a hole in the "intact" me...

until yesterday, when i was watching tv, showing this lady wearing all these glittering diamond accessories... um... maybe it's good if i hv my ears pierced then i get to put on more diamonds!!!

um... i'll seriously think about it when the nasty exams are over... (omg, the whole world halts until it's over...)
