Just another day at the Shen’s. Getting into the spirit!

• A friend had recently purchased a Xbox360. I tried it for a little while. I must say the graphics were amazing. The console was hooked up to a HD TV, so we were playing PGR3 at 1080i HD. The graphics were much better than those I’ve seen on the original Xbox and PS2. Anyway, after one night, I went out and got one for myself on Friday. At the moment, I’ve only got one game, PGR3, but I’m planning to get more later. Playing on Live! was great. Playing against the computer was no fun, and I wasn’t able to play with my friends all the time. Live! meant that I was playing against other humans from around the world. Most of those playing on Live! are relatively good, and I’ve found some pretty tough competition. I haven’t been winning much, but I think that’ll improve once I got use to all the different tracks.
• Saturday, we celebrated Harry’s birthday in advance. His family planned a boat trip for him and his friends. We fooled around the boat all afternoon. It was pretty cool. The boat was better than I expected. We took loads of photos, which will be uploaded pretty soon.
• I’ve had quite a few interviews during the last month. I finally got a call I’ve been waiting for. RH called me this morning, and offered me a job. So excited! On July 1st, I’m officially a surgical trainee. It’s going to be a pretty long journey, and probably pretty tough. I’m going to spend at least two years in QMH surgical. I hope it’s not going to be too bad.

The weather yesterday was a bit of a bumper. It was pretty much raining all day. There was no sun shine at all yesterday. I think almost everyone’s looking forward to some better weather especially with the record high pollution index over the weekend. Weather this morning didn’t look so good. There wasn’t much sun and it looks like it’s going to rain again today. You can hardly see Times Square from Wong Ngai Chung Gap Rd. We use to be able to see Kowloon from WNCG Rd…

The smog in HK is pretty bad today. The air quality where I live is actually one of the better ones, but the smog is still pretty thick. I was driving west on the eastern corridor and I wasn’t able to see IFC II while driving…

Check out these photos.

I’m getting more and more fed up with the phlebotomist in this hospital. They run this huge scam in the hospital. They’re always too busy to do their job. You call them about work in ward “a” and they say they’re too busy working in ward “b” and can’t come over. You walk over to ward “b” and call them about work in ward “b” they’ll say they’re too busy in ward “a”. I can never figure out where they are.

Today I ordered a bunch of blood test, I left my orders on a very visible location at the nursing counter (the same place I leave them every day). The phlebotomist just walked right past the nursing station and left. You call her about the blood test and she said they couldn’t find the labels. She just left without even looking for them. They’re such lazy bastards. I end up doing a pretty much all the blood taking the whole day. Kinda pissed at the moment…
