Compensation
March 29, 2009

Well, I got a new patient last Friday, for better and for worse. I guess this is to compensate for my loss due to my troublesome patient, but it also means more work for me. This new patient has DM, so I guess it's time to read more about management of DM patients.

Btw, do you guys notice an increased visiting rate here recently? Is that because this site has become more popular, or that I have become more popular (less likely XD), or that I'm so unoccupied and resulted in those increased visits? Haha, time will give me an answer.

In pain
March 26, 2009

I'm in pain. My patient is not coming back again today, making me become shirley's assistant while she did the ODTP. Tell you what, doing ODTP is far more cher than restoring a tooth. But in the light of having no patients in the whole BDS II pool, I guess this pain is going to persist.

What's more tiring is that after Polyclinics today, I did not leave PP until 2.30, handling all kinds of jong mo. I got the posters printed, chopped by both exco and hospital, posted up in the lift; then Annie told me the office needed our committee list (not our namecard), so I typed one, chopped by exco again, and handed it to the office. I also went to Chu²'s office, who wasn't there, so I left a message and he called me at 7.30, waking me up from my afternoon nap.

Yes, the worst thing about today is that I slept, which took four hours, enough to achieve REM stage. In fact, I did have a dream, and I didn't really enjoy that. I've been having nightmares these days, both in dreams and in real life. Kevin, be brave.

Taka
March 24, 2009

Yes, you're right. I'm busy again. It's not about work though - I don't have F.7 students anymore after I said goodbye and good luck to Taka. My focus has turned to jong mo, as well as studying. Why not girls? Haha, not until there's a right option.

Steve Jobs has said that life is short. The only way to ensure you're doing the right thing is treating every single day as the last day you're going to live. Ask yourself every morning: would you want to do what you're about to do today? If it turns out there've been too many no's, it's time for change.¹

Sometimes I ask myself that question too. At this moment, I'd say no; but a few months ago, I'd say NO! (I hope you notice the difference..) The thing is, I was so much disappointed, so angry at that time. But right now I've resolved the matter in the best possible way, so what else can I do now? What can I mourn for?

Kevin, you may feel lonely now. But you shouldn't feel alone though - alongside you are many others feeling the same. So, be brave, and you'll be good. God will be with you.

Dennis
March 20, 2009

Well, Dennis is my first AL student. We had our very last session today. To teach an AL student is really not easy - you have to cope with the stress. This is especially important when your student is not so rich, but then he pays you on time every week to support your living. The only thing you can do is try your very best to teach. I sure have done that, but is that enough? I don't know, but I really hope it is. I can't afford to lose my students' trust in me.

This leads to thoughts about a note regarding job seeking I wrote in fb the other day. Am I tutoring solely for money? I guess besides money, the time tutoring can kill is also a reason. Yet, does that not make me an educator? No. I still enjoy teaching, and when I teach I fulfill all of my professional responsibilities, sometimes even more than that.

Still, I have to admit that it's been too stressful these few weeks due to my increased workload to prepare my students better for AL. I am going to take a rest for some time before I continue. But if you're looking for a responsible tutor who teach much more than grammar and exam skills, call me.

2nd restoration
March 19, 2009

So, I restored one more tooth for my patient today. Again, I think I did not-bad, perhaps except that I had some trouble with carving. The student DSA was helpful - only to a certain extent though. Well, had it not been a student DSA who was there, I'd have had much to be criticized by the real DSAs. But she, like me, was not so familiar with rubber dam.. Mistakes included failing to remember which clamp to use for lower arch, as well as where to punch the holes.

Btw, Carl Wu is great.

iPhone 3.0
March 18, 2009

Basically the above two pix have explained what happened. In short, the coming iPhone 3.0 software will have many new features that many have longed for. Highlights would be copy and paste, MMS, etc.. But to me, the most useful would be stereo bluetooth (which will not be supported by the original iphone.. shxt), forward or delete individual sms and search iPod and calendar contents. And there's going to be Sims 3! So, let's start saving for the next iPhone.

What about sending files through bluetooth? Higher resolution camera? I guess Apple will leave them for the next next iPhone and OS (i.e. iPhone 4th Gen and OS 4.0), just like they've left copy/paste for its OS 3.0 which should have been included in the very beginning.

iTunes 8.1, iPhone apps, tea
March 17, 2009

So, why would I bother to mention a minor software update? Because to me, there's one major improvement: ever since Apple released iPhone 2.0 last year, iPhone calendar has been able to show calendar in different groups - I've classified by schedule into study, play, ♥, work, special attention required and holidays. It works basically pretty well with iCal with just one defect - the colour scheme of different calendars on iPhone is differnet from what I've set in iCal. But following the iTunes 8.1 release, the colour schemes finally match. Isn't that great?

I'd also like to show you my iPhone games page, as well as a unit converter app, which resembles the look of my beloved fx-50f calculator. So, enjoy.

added @10.31 pm Oh I almost forgot to mention this. It's such a relaxing day today, with only sim lab session to attend this afternoon. Remember at the beginning of module 3, we were all nervous about the endo course? It turns out endo sim lab sessions are, well, not very time-efficient. We were relaxed enough that many of us went for tea after school. It's really relaxing, isn't it?

Pix from TW, floor soup
March 16, 2009

Actually I'm now busy with something else, but if I don't write now, I'm afraid I'll forget. So, why not?

It's a university holiday today, so every one is free, my roomate included. Because I'm so unoccupied today, even such a small thing as asking my roomate to figure out what to cook became a major issue. Finally we decided to cook mushroom & chicken soup. Sadly, it's not a western one with cream in it. Instead it's in Chinese style. I hope it'll not poison the whole floor. Anyway..

Another major issue today is related to photos. Yes, finally I got time and the memory stick to upload Taipei's photos. My photos may not be perfect, but they're still our memory, aren't they?

Back from Taipei, key skills
March 13, 2009

Yes, I came back yesterday. Comment? "I wish I came here with someone else," I said. "Same here," said Melo. The thing that surprised me most was not where I visited, what I saw or what we ate - it's how lonely all 12 of us were. This seems to be the best explanation as to why 12 of us would go on this trip, together.

Did I enjoy myself then? Most of the time, yes. But when I was free enough to allow myself to think, depression emerged. Well, perhaps that had nothing to do with the trip itself; it's me, who always prefer to feel bad even when he has the choice.

So, because I'm at home now and that I left my mem stick at hall, I can only upload my low-tech photos on Sunday night. You guys won't mind, will you?

Btw, I passed radiology key skills today. Let's celebrate.

One more thing
March 9, 2009

主角愛你衛蘭
讓我試過與喬峰擁抱　先知浪漫誰造
過去我心所傾慕　都不聽我傾訴
讀過了色戒才看到
要愛恨情慾中跳舞
難道我所得到的都不夠好

誰要我在小說內尋開心　比世界更逼真
戀愛要似　這樣才甘心　不必浪費光陰
誰會想在書裡夢遊今生　才知怎麼先叫動人
擁抱著　主角靈魂
尋回幸福感　找不到那位更合襯

習慣每次告別的感慨　怎知蜜運存在
跳進了喜寶心內　犧牲得更精彩
讓我靠主角嘗透愛　不奢望誰願給我愛
尋玩世間不捨得將書放開

誰要我在小說內尋開心　比世界更逼真
戀愛要似　這樣才甘心　不必浪費光陰
誰會想在書裡夢遊今生　才知怎麼先叫動人
擁抱著　主角靈魂
尋回幸福感　找不到那位更合襯

道理簡　幻覺真　就靠小說帶我去擁有別人
無數個主角　縱使雙方也得到快感

饒恕我在小說內尋開心　比世界更逼真
戀愛要似這樣才甘心　比深雪更加深
誰會想在書裡夢遊今生
曾虛構著動魄驚心
主角是　不會害人
只抱恨　沒有真人
跟我在　湖水中　吻一吻

Do the right thing
March 8, 2009

We all try to do the right thing. The problem is, how do we know what we're doing is right? To those who just follow instructions, that is simple; but when you're trying to do something unique, you don't have a book to follow. That is the case for Apollonian, that is the case for my own problems. God, I need your help to settle things in a wise way.

Btw, I'll have a trip to Taipei next week. This is probably the last time I write before I come back. So see you guys soon.

PS Btw, who got the 40000th visit?

Key skills, 2.6a dinner
March 4, 2009

It's radiology key skills today. I've taken 3 anterior PA without cone cut (so happy~), but when I took a posterior periapical that was not the case. It's sad, isn't it? What's even more sad is that there was not enough patients this afternoon, meaning that we'll have to be there again next week. Ok, forget it. I just hope everything'll be perfect next time.

After that session my dear 2.6a groupmates executed our plan two weeks ago - have vietnamese. While we were waiting for Cto to finish tutoring her student, four of us came to LSK for mahjong!! I didn't win many games, but it was fun. And then we went to 芽莊, which was really good. I was so pleased with myself and my groupmates. Hey, there're still things we haven't tried - Oliva, Culture Shock, 金坊, ... And probably another visit to 金水, shouldn't we? And hot pot, and bike trip, and... Guys, let's do all these in the upcoming relaxing module 4!!

Another journey
March 3, 2009

Following my tram trip from Sai Wan Ho to Sheung Wan last week after tutoring Taka, I took another enjoyable journey today. Don't worry, it's not as dry as last week's. Decided to shop at wellcome westwood, I took the MTR to central, and took a bus. This time, I chose 5X. What's so special is that the journey took five minutes only.. To make things even better, iPhone played Janice's version of Reality. All of a sudden, I felt a lot easier. There're things to think over, things to handle. I just hope I won't screw things up again.

Dear 2.6 groupmates, are we really having Vietnamese tmr? If so I'm going to love you guys so much : )

First of March
March 1, 2009

It's first of March today, let's not miss another start-of-the-month entry. How am I? I'm good. And this Sunday is a pretty busy one. First of all, I have less time - I woke up at 1 this afternoon. And then I have to prep my UE class, and T2. Some of you may feel it's totally unnecessary to prep tutorial classes. To me, it's one of my values. I think this is the reason that I'm so different, the reason that I should deserve more pay [despite that I'm getting the same pay, or even less : ( ] Anyway I'll continue doing what I think is correct. This is pretty much like people keep doing things they think are correct, but which in fact are more than wrong, isn't it?

Anyway, winter has really gone without a trace. But spring is just not so annoying this time, what do u think?

PS The no. of visits from Feb 9 to Feb 28 is (39904-39484) 420, averaging 21 visits a day. Thank you. And it looks like we're going to have the 40000th visit soon, so shall we celebrate?
