K&C codename buddy
Getting back to normal January 31, 2009
On this very last day of January, on an unusual Saturday which I don't have work, I'm not spending my holiday at home at usual. Instead, I stayed at hall, working on the business card of my jong which should have long been completed. I just hope you guys don't mind I'm a bit slow here, since I have much work to do for the past few weeks, much sadness to be put aside. But the good news is, "it's finished!" And it's beautiful. I had much trouble at deciding which colour to pick, so I decided to pick them all - 19 members, 19 colours. Isn't that great? The names of those colours are as cool as the colours themselves - bluetooth blue, flickr blue, 3-eye green, smart green... And we even have an even-smarter green. It's gorgeous, isn't it?
Btw, the end of January reminds me of the upcoming anniversary of K&C, which will be right before Vday. As I'm having no Vday to celebrate this year, hopefully we can see more beautiful decoration for K&C's sixth anniversary.
Boring January 27, 2009
The second day of cny is still boring, if not even more boring. I did things I rarely do, such as converting some CD songs into mp3 for mum, revision, and so on. In the afternoon I was so boring that I tried to visit the new Starbucks at taipo mtr station.. It was not a good experience though. The shop was inside the station, but the station was so well-ventilated that cool wind can flow in and out easily. Feeling so cold there, I left within an hour. When I went home, I watched two documentaries on Nat Geo. Can you feel how hopeless I am?
CNY January 26, 2009
Well, I invited you guys to congratulate me in facebook yesterday, and I got two congrats. That's already 200% higher than what I expected. Actually, I have nothing to be congratulated, nor things to celebrate. I still remain the same - lonely and seeing a half-empty glass. And I'm afraid things will only get worse.
The good thing is that I now have more time for myself. I've prepared tutoring stuff for the coming three weeks in two days, I've listened to some radio and I sleep earlier now. My coffee consumption has decreased drastically, and I've read some books. Isn't that great?
Update January 25, 2009
Well, it's 25/1 already, one day prior to cny. I guess cny has nothing to do with us (the young grown-ups) except for getting red packets. Cny has always be synonymous with boredom and loneliness to me, and there's going to be no exception this year. So, pray for me.
Btw, I visited the flower market on Wed, and got some great stuff. I guess you guys won't mind seeing some pix here.
Becoming terrific again January 17, 2009
Hi guys, it's me. I'm here to share good news. But before that, I'd like to say: I've changed. I used to spread bad news here in my blog, remember? Some days I complained about poor customer services, some days I expressed how depressed I was. But in these days they just don't seem to emerge here. Everytime I come here to say how good things have been. That's kind of a good thing, but not exactly. The depressing moments don't subside - I just either choose not to report them or don't have the mood to hurt myself anymore.
Right, where were we? I'm supposed to share good news. And that good news is, I passed my class II exam!! That means my patient will soon have to say goodbye to her 46DO caries. Isn't that great? Oh btw, yes we finally got our first patients. My patient's quite nice, and her problem is rather simple. Despite that I still hope not to screw everything up.
My private life does not go so well though. Let's hope that I'll see a turning point soon.

Just in case you don't understand...
Everything restarted January 12, 2009
It's another new start today. As I've said before, I quite like the idea that there are four modules in two semesters. More new beginnings always give us more time to reflect and refresh ourselves, and the motivation to start over. Talking about starting over, there're indeed lots of things to start over this week. First, we're assigned to a new group with a new facilitator. Things are, well, not bad. The worst thing is probably the 3A05 room, which is strange. Second, there are new polyclinic arrangement. Finally we're going to see real patients. It's true that we're not quite ready yet, but as lo fung had said, "you've got to make your hands dirty." In the clinic, we really get the chance to make our hands dirty...
Endo will start on Friday. It will not be until then that we know who our tutor is. I really hope to see Carl Wu again, given that he's really such a nice person, which is rare in PP.
There's also a new schedule, which is perhaps the most impressive and pleasing ever. A day-off every Tuesday!! Isn't that great? The ultimately great thing about a Tuesday day-off is that after a harsh Monday morning, you can waste the whole Monday afternoon and evening and start working on Tuesday. Isn't a Monday day-off even better then? Yes, it is. But life's never so perfect, is it?
Oh btw, I still haven't got the chance to keep a record of the previous theme pix, which I adore so much. Let's remember them.
Last day of "sem break" January 11, 2009
So, my work about the harbour promenade is pretty awesome, isn't it? I haven't been writing an ordinary entry for a while, let alone a piece of art. Well, perhaps it's a bit arrogant to regard my work as a piece of art, and I'd appreciate it as long as you don't call it a piece a shit..
Anyway, our five-day sem break is coming to an end, meaning that the torturing dental school life is going to resume. It's just that we still haven't got our manual.. Yes, as we switch between modules, we're just so desperate to know who are going to be our upcoming groupmates. As V Yip has said, being in a "group from hell" is really not a good thing. But given that I've been in groups-not-from-hell in 5/6 of my one and a half year dental school life, I doubt that I still have this luck... If I do have luck, I'd prefer that luck to let me pass both exams.
Anyway, it's been a while since I wanted to post these pix. I hope you enjoy them.
So, here's a brief update of recent events. After my roomate flew back to Taiwan, revision becomes easier at hall. I'm finally enjoying a quiet peace of mind..
Regarding today's class 2 exam: in short, I screwed it up. And the exam itself sucked.
Tomorrow's going be osca, after which exam is officially finished. I can't wait to tell you how excited tomorrow. Coincidentally Macworld will kick off soon, and we can see some new products from apple tomorrow. Let's see what they got. (The news I'd like to hear the most is a firmware update which allows the new apple earphone with remote works on iphone. A rather trivial one, isn't it?)
2009 January 1, 2009
HNY (Happy new year)! Well, some of you should notice that I give this post the date Jan 1, but it's certainly not written on Jan 1. I just think it's not a good start if I don't even have an entry on the first day of this year. Year 2008 has certainly been a tough one for everyone, mainly due to the economic crisis. But as university students I guess we still haven't felt too much of it, have we? The new year reminds us that there's not going to be much time left before we graduate, and that fun and worry-free days will soon disappear.
I'm not going to say too much on that though; after all new year is supposed to be a happy time. All I'd like to say is, I'm good. (Except that I'm doing something I hate so much - prepping exam. But I guess this is at least better than prepping T2?)
I'll give a more detailed update later, perhaps after exam. Yes, I'll come back.
PS The no of visits in December is (38759-38167) 592, making 17.9 visits every day. Thx.
