Being a dentist, like all other jobs in the world, has ups and downs. I had a boring day at Tai Wai yesterday, having only a few patients to see. Recently I see 15-20 patients a day, but for some reason it’s just not the case yesterday.

One has to keep himself occupied on a free day. As I’ve decided, I need to improve my QoL, that’s why I decided to do some research on my top priority: driving. First it was the car park, and it’s fortunate to find out that car park in Tai Po isn’t really expensive — they can be below $1000. What about a car? Well, that also depends on how much you can afford. That is, how much you can afford to pay, plus how much you can afford your car to suffer from scratch, crash and the like. Hmm, let’s buy a cheapo car for practice first.

But, shouldn’t you at least get a license first, before you worry about such things as car park and the car itself? Right, getting a license is so damn hard. I don’t know about the actual exams themselves, but I already had a bad experience submitting a form. Two forms actually. Just as you thought you’ve prepped every document required and asked your friend who happened to work in the same building as the TD, you are told the form for getting a learner’s license and that for applying for exams are separate, you can’t help getting pissed. That’s exactly what Thomas and I experienced. Fuxk you, HK Govt.

Having only one patient every two hours, I eventually resorted to reading a fiction. I bought a 亦舒 book from Commercial Press, which somehow sucked. It was so thin, so light. Hey, I don’t need the MacBook Air of fictions.
