Plastercast

There is always a first time for everything. This time, it's meeting people online. I was very nervous and being very cautious. Met this guy called Nick. I wouder if he is osteoporotic as he broke his upper limb needed fixation from above elbow to thumb, and he broke his lower leg required a long leg POP.

He is an Aussie who came to HK for his research for the past 6 months. He returned back to Melbourne at the moment. Therefore, we actually had never met but chatted a coupla times online. For some "unknown" reasons, I really wish we could have a chance to meet each other indeed. Felt very comfortable talking to him and sometimes he blew me with roses and kisses. That was very sweet of him.

However, he has been disappearing these coupla days though. Kinda miss him... :(

What a lazy April!

As stated in the title, this is a lazy month for my blog. However, there were a lot of things going on in life this month. Found out that I didn't have time to stop for my lovely journal. This will be quite disappointed as I am an inspirational individual, like to express my thoughts all the time, through words, gestures and body languages.

To summerize, this month started with the beginning of the Acupuncture course. As one of the class representatives of the course, I felt like carrying a lot of responsibilities. Guess this is the result of having 50% off from the course fee.

Started dancing classes. God I love dancing! I cannot express the joy that I have from dancing in words. My core and limbs move with the music. It's like I dissolve myself in the rhythm. It was extremely amazing! Only wish I could dance better to make the best move ever :) sooooo much fun!

Played so much volleyball this month since both the HA league and HKVB league started this month. In addition to the regular training, I almost played 3 times a week which I already excluded the recreational ones. Had down time over volleyball at the beginning of the month, but as my teammates gave me so much support, my confidence built up again. WE will FIGHT till the END of GAME!!!!!!

SSG course at QEH on April 18th, 2010.

ASG biennual meeting, someone talked about hypnotherapy. The speaker mentioned that religious ppl are more likely to be hypnotized. Thought I was hypnotized during the process. At one moment, I was totally relaxed. Then all of a sudden, my heart trembled, my tear glands started to produce the respective secretion. Don't know what it is. My explanation would be, I probably felt very lonely at the very moment, and getting scared. Well, no one will give me a proper answer, but I am scared.

Almost the end of April.... Happy birthday Gabe and Anne Cheung!!

Clinical Management of Shoulder Knee & Ankle

You thought I am really gonna talk about the Management of shoulder knee and Ankle.

Wrong! Besides the knowledge I gained from the workshop this day, it's all about the crush that I mentioned before. Before leaving the house, I thought there was a 50% chances of meeting him this day.

As I arrived, and there he was. Remember I said after two nights of good vball, I recovered already. Had to give complement to myself that I did pretty well in our conversation, until he made a joke "may be I am very aware of you!" I smiled. What the heck is he doing? He has a girl and why is he flirting with me?

Then Isaac arrived, we chatted a little. We joked around as usual, that guy was around too. He also laughed at my jokes and he naturally slided his palm along my hair. Pretending nothing happened is one of my strength in life. God I am good at that.

Well, if I really thought this was nothing, this entry won't be existed. Having a lot of question marks in my mind. Wondering what the heck he is doing with me......

Recovery

Think I recover better than I thought. Shouldn't be scared of seeing you again.

Just because I played some good volleyball two nights in a row, which helped me to drain most of the W-related negative energy.

I am good.

Still waiting......





Almost nobody calls me Lai Lai anymore, but I still love this name. My name is Lai Lai :p

A heart breaking birthday

After all these years, I trained not to remind myself of my birthday anymore. Because when you know that you are still gonna be spending this "special" day by yourself, things can only turn more pathetic if you echo this over and over again.

Stupid me, after I found out that my closest friends did not actually recall this day, as usual, I was kinda of disappointed, which I should've known better, calling up Paul for ice-cream was the only thing I wanna do besides the crying. That's why I met up with him after work. He took me out to the Century Plaza for desserts. Thank God he spent time with me to keep me accompanied. We ordered a dish of sweet potato toasts and a coffee sundae. They were the most delicious food ever occurred on earth :) Somehow, he asked me if I knew Willis. Of course I know him, the guy who shares a lot of common hobbies with me; the guy who teaches me a lot in clinical skills; the guy who is very caring and considerate.

The more we talked about him, the more I wanted to see him. At the same time, Mav called me up if I wanna get some desserts with him. I chose to meet him up at PolyU so that I MAY have a chance to see Willis. Later I found out that he didn't have class tonight. So anyway, Mav and I took the 112 bus to CWB to get desserts. Guess who I saw on the bus? The familiar and warm face that I saw...... with a girl. My heart sank to the lowest point of the earth but the smile was still hanging on the anterior surface of the mindless skull.

A little chat on the bus. Then I went back to Mav. Honestly, I didn't even know what was it about Mav in our conversation, about his job, his study, his vacation.. whatever. I heard nothing and talked nonsense.

Should I thank God for meeting him on this special day? Thank God for letting me put on a little make up before meeting him?

Should I be upset that my dream's completely broken? Should I be happy to be waken up from the silly dream?

Don't know if it's because I had desserts for the whole night, my body, mind and heart feel very empty.

A heart breaking birthday like this one, truly the first time.

It's March

Dinner with a friend one night, I told her about switching team from orthopaedics to RMD. It is going to be wonderful but it may take time for me to pick up the usual routine of work. That's why I would most like to stay behind and study the cases and stuff.

She goes, "Monika, you are so hard working. But you can only tell friends about these things. It will be such a turn off for guys as they will think that you are a difficult gal to deal with."

What have I done wrong?

It's March again. Is it going to be fun one? Or a lonely one? Honestly, nevermind.... Gimme a coupla days more to fool myself.

Standard Chartered Marathon

Shit it was already 2am, I was still sitting in front of the computer. The Citybus nor the New bus had any additional buses for the convenience of the marathon. I was supposed to get up at 4am, 4:30 the latest for the physiotherapy work at the Victoria Park. Left the house at 5am, saw a taxi, tried to hop on, unfortunately there were tones of people who were hoping to get on a taxi as well. I walked over to another station looking for a better chance. There was a man with his daughter. My braveheart told me to ask him if I could tag along, he agreed. There you go, I got there on time, without paying a penny. Such a kind father!

Isaac, Willis and I travelled to the 39K checkpoint for physio service. It was my honour to be selected for this checkpoint. Thanks Willis number 1.

He bought each of us a bottle of coke for the shitty weather. Thanks Willis number 2.

It wasn't a busy station, so we had lots of time to enjoy the running atmosphere at the flyover, and photo taking. Thanks Willis number 3.

Cases came along when we were enjoying our time. Willis took the opportunity to teach us physiotherapy practical skills and reinforce our critical thinking (my weakest). Thanks Willis number 4.

After a coupla hours, we came back to our largest station for clearing up the line up and packing. Willis allowed me to tag along back to PolyU. Thanks Willis number 5.

When we got back to PolyU, all the materials were allocated back to where they belong to. Simon and Ella tried to buy us lunch. He tried to rescue BeiBei and I from the lunch even though it wasn't sucessful. Thanks Willis number 6.

He gave me two more packs of Isotonic drinks from his bag. He probably just wanted to get rid of those but they turned out to be my drink of survival during the match at night. Thanks Willis number 7.

What else can I say about you Willis :) Look forward to seeing you again, hopefully soon.
