Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2

Aha, the 10-year combat with the Darklord finally comes to an end!

In actual fact, I ain't particularly urged to watch this one, but afterall the Harry Potter series grew as I grew, it feels like a more or less routine activity. With a lucky off-work Sunday, lets go finish Voldemort with the ultimate strike!

As with the last one, two hours was simply too short for a complete smooth-flowing story to be told. When we cannot ask too much for completeness of plot, shifting our focus on the visual and sound effects should put us at ease. In this very last episode indeed involves much more wand-battles, sseing the bright lights shooting around, in the background of the giants approaching Horwart Castle, it appeared to me a fusion of Starwar and Lord of the Rings. But afterall, somehow the picture synchronised quite well with my imagination while reading the novel - equally tense and catchy.

The part touches both Landico and I is the scene when Snape finally told the hidden story. I guess you should agree with me Alan Rickman has been playing Snape so well in the older productions, that we all want to give him a punch right on his face when he killed Dumbodore. But when the turth revealed itself, everything putting together yielded a loving intention, the halfblood prince finally became the greatest hero among all characters. And that's probably why as he tears, the lovely girl besides me sobbed as well.

When I stepped out the theatre, a strong sense of emptiness emerges - afterall Harry, Ron and Hermione grew with me since my junior high. But perhaps, when time allows, I shall pick up the set of novels on my shelf, and starts the journey all over again!

Houseman

The first week of houseman ship passed, starting in oncology ward is simply wonderful.

Some may reckon oncology as a team full of tears and sadness, yes I agree most of the in-patient care centres on palliative (aim not for cure) work, but still most of the patients here are still striving to live, coping quite well with their cancer cells - firm and strong.

For all these years, I was once stereotyped that a doctor's job was to CURE. But soon I finally realise, in fact, most of the time cure is never an option (even for simple disease like hypertension and diabetes, let alone cancer). On the other hand, when a patient's heart can be HEALED despite dying with an incurable disease.

Seriously speaking being an intern I am more a clerk than a doctor engaging in in-depth patient management. Most of my time was spent in clerical work, sitting in front of the comp, collect the printout, setting drips, taking blood, and walking here and there to book radiological investigations.

Still so, the edge of an houseman is that I am the man-in-the-house. Busy am I, but I spent most of my time in a single ward, it gave us plenty opportunities to talk and chitchat with my patients. Soon after a week, when I got to know more about them, doctor-patient relationship gradually turns less authoratative. We start to chat on hospital's food, our hobbies and even girlfriends. Its a pretty amazing experience - something the doctor-patient communication skill modules can never materialize. Haha.

Strive on, houseman!
