Re: Vet

After I learn a little bit about paediatrics. I understand the difficulties vet encounter everyday. Treating someone who cannot tell you what's wrong is so difficult.

I feel happy when I can figure what's wrong with a child.

Re: Kids

I saw quite many kids tonight. Disaster, don't really know what I am doing. Look like an idiot. Completely out of control. But I think I will get there eventually.

I feel happy when I know what 's happening.

Re: Hippocrates

Hippocrates is the father of western medicine. When we graduate, we have to make an oath--"hippocrates oath". So that we don't misuse our power. I really want to be a good doctor. I hope one day I will be one.

I feel happy when I can become a good doctor one day.

Re: Fate

Do you believe in fate? I don't believe in it completely but I think it exists. The reason I have a chance to study med is mainly because I come to Australia to study. If I didn't come to study, I don't think I will be doing med. Of course, one has always to work hard to achieve what he or she wants. But sometimes things just don't go the way they want. Everyone wants to be the best but I truly believe there are s'thing more than hard working that limits one's ability to achieve goals. Certainly, this doesn't give opportunity for people to be lazy or just blame other people or god for their mistakes. Let's use your sister as an example. I am quite sure she wants to become the top student in class. I think it's difficult for her to live under the shadow of a sister who achieves so much with her life. Your sister probably thinks it does not matter how much she tries, she won't be as good as you. That's just one of my hypothesis. I just want to say sometimes things don't work out or someone fails is always multi-factorial and it may not solely be your sister's problem.

I think this type thinking helps to be more tolerant to other people. I think deep down I want people to treat me the same way. Able to tolerate my slowness, mistakes and stupidity.

I feel happy when people can forgive my stupidity.

Re: Four hour work week

Tim Ferriss is a genius. He takes short cut in learning things. He can speak multiple languages. He does things efficiently and he writes a blog and two best selling books. I enjoy reading his blog because he gives a lot of information on how to do things effectively. If you have time, go and read some of his articles.

I feel happy when I learn how to do things efficiently.

Re: Lemon Chicken

This is the lemon chicken I cooked last week. I will try to cook again this weekend. Of course, my lemon chicken looks a lot of better than this. The recipe is quite simple. I will perfect this and cook for you when you come to Australia.

I feel happy when I can cook lemon chicken.

Re: Let's simply things

I believe most things can be simplified. It does not matter how complicated it is, there must be a way to simplify it. I think writing is a good example. Of course, it depends on the purpose of the article the author will choose the appropriate languages. But when the article is aimed at the public, say conveyancing contract and credit card conditions. The language used should be easy to understand. I am quite inspired by Alan Siegel who is advocating to simplify tax forms, legal documents etc to simply, day to day English. The most recent experience I had with simple, plain English was with Singapore airline. You know, usually the conditions apply for an air-ticket is bloody long and with so many words that no one understands. Singapore airline has simplified its conditions to one page with easy to understand English. I feel at ease and I buy the ticket from them. I think this concept should apply to medicine as well, we haven't changed our medical treatment consent form for god knows how long. I wonder how many patients can actually understand it and its implications. May be that would be a good research topic.

I feel happy when I read something I can understand.

Re: Viktor Frankl

Viktor Frankly is a German's psychiatrist who was a prisoner of war during world war II. I read half of his book in the last 2 weeks. He's a really good writer. His thinking was quite evolutionary. Unfortunately, the book was due today and I needed to return it. I may borrow it again next week and read it again.

I feel happy when I read a good book.

Re : Gordan Ramsay

Have you heard of this guy before Kam Sau? He is a famous cook from Britain. Other than his cooking, he's more famous for his short temper and extremely rude demeanour against other chefs. In the last few days, I have been watching his cooking shows. He's actually awesome! I tried out some of his recipes and so far they've turned out pretty good. So when you come over, I can actually do some cooking for you.

Re: I am back !!!!

I am back to the blog!!!! Finally, after so many days of waiting, google has finally fixed up the bug. You must be waiting for my return for so long! That's why I put one of my photos up to reward your patience. I know you won't admit it but I know you love this picture and you would print it out and stick it on to your wall, your desk, at work, may be even on your t-shirt. 

I feel happy when I can write on the blog!

Re: Busy

Re: Cream Brulee

Cream Brulee......I didn't know that they set cream brulee into fire like this until I saw this picture. My god. Looks like they are about to burn down the whole kitchen. I wish I could find that picture again. The one they took when you were having the cream brulee....hahaha. I remembered you took that day off for me. We went and watched a movie together in the morning. You were a sweet heart, Kam Sau. I will learn how to make cream Brulee so you don't have to risk getting your picture taken again.

I feel happy when I see Kam Sau on the magazine.

Re: Home sweet home

Finally, I am back to Moe. Nowhere is like home. Suprisingly, the thing I miss the most is my kitchen. Finally I can cook rice with my rice cooker. I don't have to wait for half an hour for the stove to heat up. That's so good. And I am sleeping on my double bed.

I am happy when I am home!

Re: Bruce Lee

Bruce Lee actually got better, faster and stronger after he recovered from his back injury.

I feel happy when I recover from my injury.

Re: Ghost festival

This is what I was talking about yesterday. The Chinese opera for ghost to watch. I did a bit of research this morning and found some practical tips for you on Saturday.

When I can find useful tips on the internet, I feel happy.

1、不要穿紅衣服；大家都知道紅色辟邪的，但是7月你能有鬼紅嘛。。。他們喜歡跟在顯眼的顏色後面，可別把他們帶回家，還有不要穿紅色的鞋。 

2、不要深夜回家；大晚上男的我不知道可不可以，女的肯定不可以，即使有男的送你，除非他還陪你睡覺，我半夜打完麻將回宿舍就總聽耳邊有人喘氣，嚇的我穿上衣服回家了。
3、如果沒有辦法必須晚上回家，那就不要回頭，不要想那些可怕的電影，不要到處亂看，不管看見看不見都會讓你很害怕。
4、不要隨便上公共廁所，裏面很邪門的，尤其晚上，廁所經常鬧鬼的。
5、不要去游泳，即使你的技術很好，因為在河裏和游泳池中淹死的人會找身體較弱的人拉下水，這樣就可以投胎轉世了。
6、女孩子不要大晚上對著鏡子梳頭，早晨梳吧，大晚上梳頭燈開的再亮也有關燈的時候，沒有發現女鬼都長頭髮，難道她們死的時候就是長的嗎？？
7、不要去廟裏，路過廟裏不要去看裏面，據說孤魂野鬼的家就是那裡了
8、不要去點蠟燭和香！蠟燭是在召喚靈魂，而香就是鬼魂最喜歡的東西
9、上樓梯的時候不要回頭，就算有一個人叫你或哼的歌曲，也不要去看，不見得那個人是真人～～
10、死過人的地方不要去，我鄰居家的奶奶死了，旁邊的鄰居和他關係不錯，過去以後鬼上身，哭的還想再活到抱孫子，太可怕了。
還要如果晚上遇到鬼打牆你就不要再走了，再原地坐的不要想恐怖的事情，想點別的，不要自己把自己嚇壞了

 

Re: Monash

Monash university has a resort in the snow!!! I would love to go there for holidays!I haven't been to snow this year, but I heard this year the snow is not very good. May be I will go in September for Claire's birthday.

I feel happy when I go snow boarding.

Re: Ocean park

I haven't been to ocean park for 10 years. I wish I could go there with you to have a look at the aquarium and try out the Roller Coaster.

I feel happy when I go to Ocean park.

Re: Meeting

Meeting is, in most occasions, a waste of time. We gather together and discuss many topics and then walk away and nothing is done. So the best strategy to solve this problem is --- cancel all the meetings. Just cancel them. Not postponing them. Cancel them and discuss whatever needs to be discussed via e-mail.

I feel happy when there's no more meeting.

Re Miu miu

"Miu miu" is the daughter of Prada. The name "Miu Miu" comes from the nickname of the owner of the company Miuccia Prada. An Italian fashion designer who also has a PhD in political science. (What a combination!) Anyway, she inherited the company from her grandfather, who found Prada in 1913. Now they have around 250 stores in 65 countries.

I will keep my promise and get you a miu miu bag ga la. Don't worry, it's coming soon. ;)

I feel happy when you are happy with your miu miu bag.

Re: Shoelace

Finally, I can teach you some English words. Haha...feel so good.

I feel happy when I can teach you something.

Re: Pumpkin and Lentil Curry

Kam Sau, remember the pumpkin and lentil curry I was talking about. This is what it looks like!!! I really would love to cook it. May be this weekend. I will try to make it. So even I fail, I can eat it with Taz and Ninan and I don't have to eat the disgusting curry for the whole week.

I am happy when I am about to cook a new dish!

Re: Time

Time is a funny thing. Once you use it, it's gone. It does not matter how hard you try, you'll never get it back. I spent some time studying tonight. I was thinking what I would be using those time if I wasn't studying. People often talk about work life balance. In my view, it is not achievable. You gotta sacrifice something in your life. People sacrifice so much to come and study medicine. After a while, I think everyone starts questioning whether it is worth the time and effort. I haven't gotten the answer yet but so far I enjoy this course. 

I feel happy when I am using time to do something constructive.
