Sixteen things

Actually I found myself very lazy in updating the blog and I think I should try to put down something. Perhaps I should imitate Szeto in putting down 16 things about myself (BTW, why 16?)

1. I am actually a very lazy person (I call it energy-reserving approach)

2. I only start to work on the day before deadline (therefore if you want me to do something, you must give me a deadline).

3. My first inspiration in primary school was the introduction of "compound interests" in maths class, the concept just opened up my mind.

4. My second biggest inspiration in medical school was when I was told the author of “the oxford handbook of medicine” has made a good living from it and then lived happily forever by practicing in a small village.

5. My student years were mostly spent up in “chatting in classes” or “day-dreaming in classes”. This has nothing to do with my teachers, it was due to point 6.

6. I have attention-concentration-deficit problem and my mind always start wandering whenever anyone start lecturing for few minutes, but nobody will notice it.

7. Point 6 not only applied to sitting in classes and lectures, it also applied to attendances of meetings, hence I cannot become a good administrator.

8. I got 8As in my HKCEE exam, my proudest subject to get A ever is Chinese literature.

9. When I was young, I was allergic to crab and shrimp, but I would secretly took a piriton before taking the delicacy. I successfully desensitize myself and crab is my most favorite food now.

10. I am probably autistic (at least trait) and it get cured after I went to UK for elective training in 2000.

11. I also got space orientation deficit. I cannot recognize a single route even after going through the same route for > 20 times.

12. I start to eat with chopstick when I was 12 years old, I still have problems with the chopsticks now.

13. My friends said I am ataxic, my mom said “my hands worked like the feet”. I have to confess that I just damaged 2 pieces of furniture after I moved in my new house and recently the handle of my friend's fridge.

14. I don't bother to do the IQ test now, because I think I am demented now.

15. I have accepted the fact that my hair is hopeless, but my the other half haven't quite yet and he always force me to attend the hair salon.

16. I consider myself quite a lucky person, hope it will be forever.
