New start

1st of January, 2008.

A new start.

Actually not particularly new. Just that my internship has been halfway through and I am halfway to being a medical officer.
A real doctor.

A DOCTOR. Sounds weird.
I am more comfortable with the word "human body technician", as compared to "electrical technician".
Which part of the human body should I specialise in, then?
I don't know. Or maybe I'll never know.

My man commented: don't be indecisive. Decide on one specialty and move on. Stop thinking after you decided.
The truth is, if you keep on considering the pros and cons of each and every options, you don't actually fit well into any of them. At least, none has aroused your enthusiasm.

My major concern lies in finding a comfortable and well paid job.
Not career development.

Leave career development to my man. To finance, he is filled with near-love enthusiasm.
In him, I can see future financial giant. I don't see a great doctor in me.

Where does my enthusiasm lie? In clinical psychology, maybe.
Psychiatry? Too organic.
I need a bit of human touch.

Now at the start of orthopaedic internship. Acceptable start, though I don't know how will my workload be when I am on call. Touch wood. I still need my lok yau yip shower gel.

Been sleep-deprived for quite some time. Going to replenish my sleep in the coming 1-2 days.

The near-love enthusiasm comes from the possibility to solve the living needs of myself and my family. And knowing how much the dollar sign can do. Logistics? Forget about it. It is just a dying industry in HKG.

Again any industry or job is a combination of sugar and shit. Find the sugar in you field and try to accept some shit now and then. U will much feel better.

For me, I really like to be seen as a knowledgeable and far-sighted analyst or a future fund manager.

Luv ya!

That's the point. The near-love enthusiasm derives from a combination of dream (knowledgeable and far-sighted analyst or fund manager) and bread (solve the living needs of yourself and your family - including the future one, hehe).
Please note: a "Dream" is necessary to produce the enthusiasm. Bread gives the basic living, that is the motivation to swallow every single page of your Sweiser; but not the enthusiasm to read up financial news every day and night and even during our pathetically short holidays (uh, beware). See the difference?

And... I don't have the motivation to find the sugar... if there is any.
Time and hardwork in exchange of money, and quite a nice amount; that's what this job means for me. Therefore, I will get 100% mad if for any reason, my entitled holiday is gone.
