  • 10 reasons why i hate dee dee

    i am not feeling well today. i am not sure why. but i only know that: i hate dee dee

    here are the 10 wonderful things of dee dee:

    1) his charm - not only is he yeung sui but he is some one who looks more and more yeung sui when you see him more and more. he has the watermelon shaver mouth, numerous acne scars over his temple region, eyes looking like mice, and of course, his famous and well loved mole on the left side about 1cm above his upper lip. we just loved his mole. (pls refer to point 10) too bad he lasered it. his charm is so overwhelming. even with the mask on you just cant resist it. i am repeatedely killed by his charm! and also, he likes to wear his tie to the level of his umbilicus... T10 as candice said it : )

    2) eloquent - he talks all the time, well not all the time, but only when it is most inappropriate and annoying. once rosie suggested to him that he can talk less, and he dont need to talk all the time. he said he will die if he dont talk. so rosie surrendered and said "i have nothing to say. you chose to be disgusting (hack yan tsang) over death."

    3) this is a very difficult talent, really: ability to make everyone hate him - our group of 28 ppl, with 10 christians, also best tempered ppl in our class, includeing lappo and ah sing. but dee dee has the ability to make lappo and sing annoyed! and out of great annoyance, they "inched" him back. what a sight, havent seen them do that for the past 4 years which i had known them. and of course, our whole class hated him as well. when the grouping list for specialty clerkship was announced. i was in horror to find that i will be his partner for the rest of the year. i still remembered that horrible morning. and i received so many sympathetic comments and pitying glances. i even had a pat on the back from someone whom  i had never talked to for the past 4 years. because everyone pitied me so much... but his charm is not limited to our class and his peers. its so overwhelming even our doctors can feel it. our tutor, Dr KW Lam, probably the nicest dr in OG, was also "irritated" by him. she said during our tutorial: if you continue to speak we will throw you out of the room. Dr S Tang of medicine said during tutorial "shut up alexander!" and he continued to "inch" dee dee for the rest of the tutorial... that was one of my best tutorial during medicine.

    4) "Rob" - Dr Ko made his point during his powerpoint presentation that he does not want students to make photocopies. then dee dee, after the presentation, approached dr ko and said he wanted to hand copy the notes. dr ko trusted him but of course, dee dee did the predicted. he photocopied the notes! and even worst, he went to the canteen and boasted about it! a thief, but an extremely foolish one... a more recent incident, he stole anna's case. we need 10 cases of assisting delivery for our OG clerkship, he already had 13. yet he still wanders in labour ward even when its not his session. anna only has 3. and he robbed anna's case during her night of attachment. our whole group confronted him the next morning. and he had the guts to shout in the theatre "dont say its stealing. and dont call me a thief. i didnt steal" and christopher said "ok, its not stealing. its ROBBING".

    5) like to communicate with you privately - on the phone or by email: (1) called me during the middle of my afternoon nap to scold me, said i spread rumors about him, and not respecting him and i was being irresponsible to say such things about him ...............  i was half asleep and was not caught completely off guard by the attak. then he suddenly changed tone and said: "oh, are you having your attachment tonight? lo lick, bei sum kei etc etc". i was so pissed and i asked "have you finished?" and i slammed the phone. (2) he also called christopher the same afternoon and said he shouldnt "inch" him and "play" him in front of the others during school. christopher also slammed the phone too. (3) he sent individual emails to candice, bessie, lappo and anna after medicine CCT saying "dear miss colleage, i would like to congratulate you on your wonderful performances during the medicine CCT. i was so proud of you....... what really happened was christopher, bon and adrian teased him and told him there were 5 distinctions including 4 girls and a boy today (implying him of course)!!! and him, being so overconfident, sent those congrads email to lappo candice bessie and anna. to show that he is a fair winner. becuase he really believed he was the other boy who got the distinction!!!

    6) leader of our gp - sent us a mass email once said he had the "priviledge" to know about some past paper question and hope he could "shed some light" to us by telling us!! oh, how touching!! the next day, he said we were like "a bowl of loose sand", so he is taking the job to unite us!! thank you!! i think you have united us very well, we are so united to hating you together!

    7) knows his responsiblity - the famous PUO incident. before our medicine CCT we were to type out the high probability cases in our cubicles and sent it online. he rob-clerked my takayasu case so i asked him to type it out as well. then he made a fuss and was pissed off because he said it was not his case. so i copied his notes and spent 15 min and put the case online 2 days before the test. on 12midnight before our CCT, he still hadnt put his PUO case online. so christine sent an email saying we were very disappointed and hope he could type it out asap. then he replied explaining that he couldnt get online etc....................  but we saw him staying in the computer room for the whole night....

    8) ging - one word, ging - he is just so ging. just cant wait to show off how ging he is!! (1)during psychiatry clerkship, i clerked a case and presented the history. the dr asked me did you ask XXX? and i said sorry i didnt ask. dr said, you should ask because of YYY... then dee dee interrupted. he said "actually I asked, and the pt said ZZZ." and you have to see his face. his smug look because he made himself look so good by making me look bad. (2) during a PBL recently, he held the mic and answered all the questions. of course we were happy for him to do so but the dr asked him to pass the mic. and he said it was cold in the room so he was cold and shivering so he had to hold on the mic tightly!! he is just so ging. ging.

    9) he blends in so well with the group - he is best friends with christopher and bon. oh, he actually take them as brothers. although christopher and bon dont take him so. it is always a bit choatic during lunchtime because its a bit complicated with seating. once, our group occupied 3 tables in the canteen, and then when he walked in, the atmosphere suddenly tensed up. all of us had the same feeling together. which table will he choose? and then he sat down at my table because ah sing was there too. i immediately received those glances from rosie, ah lau and chrisopher... and we made sure we will never sit with ah sing ever again.

    10) provide so much entertainment to our group - really need to thank him. too much incidents. couldnt list all, here are just a few (1) always late because of different reasons: bowel problems, anal fissure, cut his thumb... he said it himself... anal fissure : ) (2) OG teaching round with Dr TC pun.... dr pun "inched" him from the start of the grand round. dr pun: "alexander the late? since you are always late, i give you more time to think about your answer... so what is the answer? i know you cut your thumb, but you dont think with your thumb right? unless you do.... " hahaha. all of us couldnt stop laughing. i went down in tears. it was the best hour i had in OG clerkship. (3) he really believed he got distinction in medicine CCT. as mentioned in point 5. (4) incident from year 3 ophthalmology tutorial to demonstrate squint in christopher, dr ricky law asked christopher to focus on a distant object. "pls focus.... on this classmate's mole" the whole class burst into laughter. it was uncontrollable. i guess dr law was quite surprised of the reaction. i guess he could sense this student was not a very popular member of the class after teaching us for 20 minutes. but no one could predict this reaction from us. vansie was standing next to me and she laughed till she squat down. i burst into tears. no one could concentrate for the rest of the lesson. even though we calmed down after 10 minutes. but everyone was still laughing in their hearts. you could see it in our eyes.

    so in conclusion, how can i not have special feelings with my darling: dee dee?? i have been with him for the past 24 weeks of psychiatry, medicine and OG. i really look forward to the paediatrics clerkship when we will have random grouping. but i dread surgery clerkship. i have to go one on one with him. most lessons to be attended by 2 students. one on one.... what will happen? one on one... one on one... one on one.... pls kill me
