Soul

When Aaron Ramsey scored a goal yesterday, you probably would be cautious that someone famous would die. This time it was unfortunately an artist, even worst, she was Houston. Just 2 days before the Valentine's Day.

Probably you never knew her. Yes. She does not belong to this generation. This generation is sadly dominated by JB and Lady Gaga. Nobody is an artist.

I did not hear a lot of her songs. But at least I know this is the song of her. I Will Always Love You. This song was not originally for her. But just by chance she happened to record it, and signed her name on the history of soul music.

I Will Always Love You did not have a complex structure. The chorus was just a repeat crying of the name of the song. Despite that she sang what everyone's heart out. It was perhaps one of the best music I 've ever heard. and it was perhaps one of the best lines in the history.

Linsanity

Lin is a male user of forum.hkgolden.com. (高登仔)

His height is more than 180cm. He had a degree of Harvard University. He was handsome. He was under the spotlights from the planet. Unlike the previous cases of Yao and Yi. He was well praised by the Americans as well. Linpossible is everything.

Perhaps what he did not have was just an apartment from the mid-level (in Hong Kong) and a race car. Also a top-model girlfriend.

If you thought that he was but a shooting star which will fade soon, you were proved wrong again and again. He already provided one of the highest efficiency among all the NBA players, second to the King James. He was from Harvard, huh?

However, we shall not be over-joyful. He was just one of the people who gain after tears and sweats in the state. There was no impossibility. There you can have a chance to shine, no matter where you come from.

Face

One friend of me had be enrolled in a experiment to examine the effect on one person if he quits the social network for 7 days.

It looked quite interesting to me, because I had this plan for a long time. Why to go to Facebook? What attracts me? I found there is nothing to attract me anymore. I feel better if I can talk to other people and I feel good to text people using SMS, at least, when compared with making a wall message to "friends".

The definition of friends has been very blur. There were some friends in the Facebook whom I never talked to. The reason that we became friends was in a sense, very accidental.

It will be difficult to quit this as it will be difficult for a drug addict to leave the acid. The cortex has been changed and everything you think of in the real life has been linked to Facebook these years. It would be hard, if not impossible to change the chemical synapse.

It will be also the same situation when you have to leave someone you love.

Artist

There is a difference between art and performance.

There is a projection of emotion from an artist. Every color they painted in a drawing, every note they made in a music, and every word they enchanted in a poet means something. It was something that moved you so much that you was not even able to hide yourself, merely allowing your emotion to overcome yourself.

Whereas, a performance might excite you, but you turn out lose yourself and did not feel a thing eventually. It was sensational, but it was not touching.

Therefore, there was a difference between Chopin and Liszt, Yundi Li and Lang Lang, U2 (the 90's) and U2 (the current one), and Radiohead and Muse.

He is heavily driven by his emotion. Without it, he cannot do anything. With he, he can create the wonders. In contrast, a performer can sing 1000 times love songs, just he was asked to. It was industrial and automatic.

I could not sing "Nothing's gonna change my love for you" now, according to my roommate.

Chase

Stop saying that doctors running out to the public hospitals to the private sectors are a bunch of money-loving.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to attach to a doctor at Union Hospital. Union Hospital, in contrast to our public hospitals, is place of energy and harmony. The staff are nice. The nurses are contented when they meet the patients. The doctors do not look tired and exhausted. Even the environment Everything is good and fine.

The doctor I attached to used to be a physician in PWH. Unlike the previous experience of attachment, she was responsible for more complicated medical cases in the clinic. Also, her patients were more knowledgeable about their diseases and the associated medications. All you need was to be more knowledge, more patient and more caring.

Despite a more demanding clinical setting in terms of quality, the doctor loves this. She could have more communications with the patients. The development of the doctor-patient relationship is much better. She can follow the patients more frequently and know the patients better.

Perhaps it is what doctors imagined their lives before they had entered the medical schools. What these doctors are doing in the private sectors are chasing for what they want to be.

Quality

At last I would like to give some comments on what I am attaching: the family medicine and community medicine.

The life is so easy here because you don't have a book of terminology to read and a "sunflower" to memorize. All you have to do is stay in your room when you don't need to attach to private doctors or other assigned clinicians, since there is no reason to go through the lectures. I am already year 4. You can't stop me studying hard on my own.

And I make use of the time to read many things that interested me. The Oxford Clinical Medicine is no longer difficult. The Harrison is very comprehensive. I enjoy these days a lot because I am free of stress to study. Medicine is good. Surgery is good.

So as the quality of the consultation in a Family medicine setting. At least the patient can really talk to a doctor. It is perhaps not seen in other clinics (except Professor Wing's clinic). Perhaps it is THE medicine. You know, Sherlock Holmes always ask his client to go through his story completely before his detective action, and he is the best diagnostician in the world.

If you are really interested in being a good doctor, family medicine may be really one of your choices.

Opposition

In order to join the crowd who have recently made a strong opposition to the people who come from the PRC, I decided to leave them and think about what the world we are in.

Yesterday was a day to be recorded in the history, for the netizens have gathered enough money to post a full-page advertisment to show where they stand: there was our Hong Kong being infested by locusts. There was also dreadful slogans: do you want to give the money to those Double-negative babies?

They succeed. The whole China was shocked and the netizens there made similar advertisments on the internet, simply saying that Hong Kong was but a city which was fully relied on the assistance of the PRC, including the electricity, water and food supply. Most importantly, they said, if there was no tourists from the PRC, Hong Kong would have been fallen.

I never think that doing this kind of advertisment would do any good beside to release the tension (a little bit) in a short while. Most of the Hong Kong people were yet to demonstrate the character of a good citizen. Doing this advertisment was the first sign of immaturity.
