'can@ xxx' and 'I'm back' - these have been my MSN nickname and subtitle for the recent half year!
Before changing to this company, I knew that they concentrated their business in Hong Kong or occasionally Korea! For other European or Middle East jobs, they just provide support and thus, I do not expect to travel frequent on business, unlike my previous job which I had to go to Taiwan at least bimonthly and sometimes once a month!
Yet life is always fate! After entering this company, I've been to five business trips in 18 months time. It isn't that shocking for normal circumstances even not comparing to my previous job but it's already too surprised when compared with my fellow colleagues. Last year, I went to Beijing for a training and this started my 'travelling' life in this company.
Unlike the previous company, instead of Taiwan, this year, I've been to Shanghai twice, London once and even to Japan! That was the greatest yet my most unwilling trip to Japan since the timing was not good at all. And it was so far the hardest business trip! Worked until late, had dinner at midnight! After work, still need to finish my homework so stayed up late until very early morning! Slept for only 3 hours and got up for a new day! Yet it's quite pleasant to meet some helpful guys.
And the two trips to Shanghai just awoke me from my dream about shanghai like breaking the bubble we played when we were young. along with its fast pacing development the contrast between, not necessarily the rich and the poor, but the modern western lifestyle and the still a bit backward 'chinese' lifestyle is too obvious! the bund is too bustling and just one street behind it, there's like a dark city. I'd rather go to the times square, the shopping malls, the Xintiandi and places like these instead. placing yourself in these places won't make you too sad 'coz it's really a bit like Manhattan in a certain sense. even better feeling than in hk.. or just keep yourself in the 'star' hotels like the Marriot and Raddison I stayed.
London's always like another home for many hk-ers since we have soooo many friends and relatvies and even family members there. went there for a training, in a hotel near our head office but still haven't been to our office. :P met a lot of interesting fellow colleagues and knew more about other companies within our group. thanks for the ride offered by a helpful guy.
the eurostar now departs from the King's Cross and it makes my 'usual' train home docked at platform far away :P need to pass through the platform 9 3/4 to get there... :P weekend didn't go out to London but to nearby town with bigger and more shopping malls - Welwyn Garden City.
besides these business trip, i went to taiwan. (not kidding, i really went to Taipei and Yilan with kakin, wendy and janet [in taipei for one whole day and one evening]) This is like our annual trip! :P just noticed that since the 03 trip to taipei, we've been to korea in 04, london & paris in 06. and possibly macau in 05.
busy working life these few months, ot ot and ot.....
busy stuyding life this semester... every week an assignment... a 4000 words translation... two presentations.. and term paper...
these were wht i did duirng this 4 and a half months.
just received an email from our MD attaching a memo from our Chairman in the head office titled 'China Initiatives'... well... foreseeable more frequent China trips.. >< why isn't it Asia? so i may be able to go to Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, etc. interesting places?! anyway, let's see how it goes.
christmas' coming and i'd really like to go outsdie to play!!!! but i'm running out of $$....
korea... i started to miss this country...
thailand... stronger and stronger motive to go....
so far these are the two places i really wanna go in near future..
anyone of you interesting to join me?

不能說的‧秘密 Secret
(moved from elsewhere)
雖然最近每晚都 OT 到八點多〈今晚更九點才離開呢！〉，昨晚還是「抽空」看了周董的新戲《不能說的‧秘密》。[星期四開畫那一天]
棒！棒！棒！〈哈哈！不虧我搭了五十多元 TAXI 趕去呢！〉
超級好看！單看各演員的琴技就值回票價啦！周董，真的有點功架！其實也不只是有點，應該是基礎很好。
故事，我喜歡。
音樂，選的真的很配。
而且，我欣賞周董的敘事手法跟導演技法。
還有，李屏賓，一貫的美。
最後，我喜歡那一個舊琴，讓我想起小時候練琴的時候；還有那漂亮的學校。
這裡可以看 MV 跟 TRAILER: http://moov.netvigator.com/music/static/index.jsp?pageName=0707_jay
Official Website: http://www.sonypictures.com.tw/movie/secret/
後記：今晚在等電腦 VIRUS SCAN 的時候，跑去彈了戲中出現的一點點 CHOPIN~ 才發覺這些「沒上鋼琴課的」年來，原來一直都只是在彈 NOCTURE 跟 ETUDES :P 雖然那 CHOPIN WALTZ 是從書架底 (橫放的書架) 拿出來的，彈起來不太順 (太久沒彈這麼快囉) 但還算得上完整，感覺很好~ 媽媽在 BATHROOM 聽到我彈，她說，她還以為是樓下的音樂系學生在練習呢。^_^ 真好。當然，那首 WALTZ，PROFESSOR POLA (She's a Professor of Music in Piano!!!) 有指導過我喔，我彈得，很「專業」的。

日本喜劇感強又有型的演員
(moved from elsewhere)
近呢幾個月突然有好多戲看，就由今年講起，一套 NaNa2 後，有一大堆既 hollywood movies，又有外語片，多到最後要犧牲我本來好想好想看既日本片「太陽之歌」~ 雖然細佬看完返黎勁讚，但係時間同銀包既限制下，都係犧牲左，留番 dvd 先，好明顯係塚本高史既魅力未夠咁 attract 我。
之但係呢排呢，就咩都無得講啦，好在 will smith 係上個禮拜至上，愛與淚相隨就上上個禮拜。「愛與淚相隨」，勁好看！！有人話，唔係妻夫木聰，你看唔看呀？看！！仲有長澤正美！點知細佬話佢一 d 都唔靚，又唔 cute。唔 cute 咩？ok 呀，「大隻」左少少 jer~
之後係「多羅羅」呀！！妻夫木聰仲要配柴咲幸，同手塚至虫，投降了！我無力抵抗 :p
講左好多 background 都好似未入「正題」，黎啦黎啦，我要講妻夫木聰啦~
星期日係銅鑼灣發記門口等位o個陣向上望下，見到妻夫木聰同柴咲幸既巨型 poster 吊左係 world trade center 到，好似中國畫 vertical scroll 咁~ 本來同 kakin 講緊「我細佬話阿森似塚本高史 rather than 草弓剪剛 」同「媽咪今日話木村仲係好型」既話題，望到咁大既 poster 當然要講下啦，結論係「妻夫木聰可能唔算好靚仔，唔算好「傳統既」有型，但佢好型，好有自己既 style，最重要係佢「好好笑」、「好 cute」(一般男仔你話佢 cute 可能唔係太好，但妻夫木聰既 cute 係好正！絕不低能) 看佢做戲好開心，好舒暢，even 演悲劇，你唔會覺得「愁雲慘霧」，而係融入左去套戲度，唔會覺得死氣沉沉，而係完全感受到「悲從中來」，演小品又好，愛情又好，喜劇更好笑，連古裝(唔算古裝既，相對於中國既民初咁上下啦)都得！其實算唔算結論呢？定係我自己既想法？
anyways，妻夫木聰就係一個「令人好開心」既演員，並唔係低低能能胡胡鬧鬧o個隻。另一個，我覺得係「阿部寬」，當然「阿部叔叔」樣貌更勝一點，「阿部叔叔」真的很有型。
跟住就看到一篇 magazine 訪問，被訪者話之前去日本拍戲，聽到木村話「唔會限制自己既戲路，因為拍一套感動人既電影好難，拍一部令人大笑的電影更難」(此乃大概意思，並不是直抄至 magazine) 嗯，原來木村想拍喜劇~ 媽咪就話佢好岩喎，岩咩？媽咪話木村係「全能型」，唔至單單做「憂鬱小生」喎~ 媽咪居然用木村同「阿部叔叔」一齊講！o下？木村同阿部？有咩共通點？但明明係妻夫木聰似阿部多 d 喎，我覺得~
想左好耐，究竟我同媽咪講緊既，係咪同一樣野呢？我係覺得佢地都好全面，演喜劇唔會便鬧劇，演悲劇又演得細水長流，好生活化，呢個特質係咩呢？綜觀亞洲演藝圈，好似都無咩邊幾個可以~ 對！媽咪話過，韓國既元彬，不過宜家去左服役~
今日看 news 既時候，終於解決左我既疑難了！原來這叫做「喜劇感強」既演員！看下下面既 quote:
「導演馬場康夫接受訪問時稱讚阿部寬是日本鮮有喜劇感強又有型的演員，其他兩個是木村拓哉與妻夫木聰。他跟阿部寬最投緣，是因為對方是機械工程科出身，自己當年在日立做電器，故他們特別多話題。」
哈哈~ 我同媽咪 d 洞悉力都幾好喎~ 係唔係有 d 天份寫「藝評」呢？係都唔錯呀，我宜家讀緊科 art translation，如果識寫，translate o個陣應該會好 d~
仲有，我發現好多 artists，不同地區，都係讀 mechanical engineering 的，看來，又一次印證 engineering 的路真的不好走~

愛上台灣的歌唱比賽
(moved from elsewhere)
如題~
他們的水平，是會令人「上癮」的。不像近幾年的所謂新秀，讓人忍不住要轉台。
在台灣熱到爆點的《超級星光大道》第一季完滿落幕，說真的，有點失落~ 第二季的，由於還在初段，還沒有很想很想看的衝動~
我本來一直有看，後來就只看個別同學的《校園歌喉戰》也到尾聲囉~
當初在台灣偶爾看到《校園歌喉戰》，很佩服他們的認真，搶拍很少，音準只是沒上的穩都被扣分或出局，覺得評分很嚴格，回來後一直在看。
還沒看過《星光幫》前，看他人氣抄的實在太離譜，好奇心推動下看了一下，四個字：「欲罷不能」。
水準真的很高，高到我想叫那個所謂唱的還不錯，最近不斷在「control control」的新生代女歌手 hk born abc 回去好好練習，更不用說其他的。
他們的 cd，我真的訂了，我想我會換鈴聲了。雖然我現在的也是很不錯的蔡旻佑，但我還是要換。:p
對了，我的 mp3 list 已經很久沒有廣東歌了，最近的一首是張敬軒。香港歌手，只剩下陳奕迅跟方大同。
大家除了看 American Idol 那些 11 歲的超級女孩外，也可以看看這些台灣的~
大陸的「快樂男聲」跟「好男兒」這一季都好像有「好聲音」喔~
多聽一點好聲音，多聽一點不一樣的曲風，是耳朵的享受喔！

I finished another novel...
(moved from elsewhere)
I finished 2 books in 2 days; be more exactly it is 2 nites. Great!
Good books... but all in Chinese or again, to be more exact, Taiwan Chinese. Fun and funny. It's fun to read as it's quite funny and some characters just appear too stupid. The way of writing is fun too! Like experimental cinema, total off track the mainstream or should I say Classic Literature? I don't think it should be categorised as Leisure Reading though it should have been planned to serve that purpose.
In the Preface, the author said, 'You will have more fun if you treat it as a Sci-fi. But all in all, it is in fact not a Sci-fi.' So I read it as a story happening in our Time dimension but probably in a different Space dimension. Don't know if my 'strategy' is working out properly or if it is in fact not a Sci-fi at all, I managed to understand the story quite well. Oh! Another reason maybe those 'Electromagnetic Waves' mentioned in the story! Remember my Major? In fact, that's not that important in the story as I interpret but I just... keep thinking about that :P
So indeed... I DO THINK that is possible. It is not merely a Sci-fi; it based on workable theories and... in fact... I thought about that before! :P Can we alter our EM brain signals externally to change our minds? Or can our EM brain signals transmit direct through air to action? This is done by MIT already. Their team has developed a method to "switch on the light" by thinking only. Can we apply external force to stimulate a "Spike" (action potential)? I think there's something similar... The TENS should be an action potential simulation theraphy.
Alright... in fact that is somehow a "Sociology + Philosophy" novel, nothing about Sci-fi. It is a story about a Homophobic Boy. I would read this simply because it is recommended by Sandee Chan and Soda Green's 'TsinFeng'. :P
Anyways, after finishing the story, I think the Patrogonist's too homophobic that he has serious mental problems. It's sad and I guess that's the THEME of the book.
Also, a PHOBIA is more frightening than a trauma and always will lead to a trauma. Though this is not exactly about the book (but related), it is the only sentence I want to share in these few weeks.

會心微笑~
(moved from elsewhere)
昨天收到了從網路上新購的 dvd 跟小說，第一時間拿出其中一本小說，拿起剪刀，剪開封套，開始閱讀... 時為晚上十一點四十五分。
我閱讀的習慣是從「推薦文」開始，到「序」，再進主目錄，繼而是閱讀內容。這次也不例外。只看了兩行，真的只有兩行，我就知道，今天晚上，我一定得把她讀完才睡，就這樣一看到兩點半 (雖然中間有半個小時用來幫爸爸 print document)。
其實沒有「大感動」，因為不煽情，除了那結局。但其實她的結局並不重要，因為過程更重要！情感淡淡卻深邃，每一段落都令人心揪一下。這是從前作文科老師最欣賞的抒情文。
但... 我在看完之後，卻哭了一下下。一邊哭，一邊想東想西，可能哭累了就睡著了。
今天醒來，精神出奇的不錯，久違的爽利感覺。坐在巴士上，看了一下路訊通，居然我發現，我剛剛「會心微笑」了一下。久違到差點忘了那感覺，還以為是無意識肌肉抽搐呢！
哭過後是否就真的能笑？還是... 我昨天練瑜珈的收穫？因為我真的好久好久沒有在晚上上瑜珈課了。
你還好吧？哭過後是否可以笑一個？
妳還好嗎？突然很想念妳。突然... 擔心我再不跟妳們連絡的話，妳們會這樣就消失了。

重感冒~
(moved from elsewhere)
DRAFTED ON 15 June
自從 6/3 去左 winnie 個 so-called 兄弟姐妹 gathering 之後就一直病倒到現在...
個日食緊 tea，杯奶茶都未飲晒就勁胃痛，痛既狀況同程度，唔係一般胃痛~ 而且個位置都唔係胃... 係近膽同背瘠...
心知不妙，趕緊去 jusco 食碗麵，好似好 d~ 總叫捱到返屋企~ 食左中藥，無咁痛... 趕快去睡覺~
點知成晚無覺好睡， 勁痛，連個肚一齊痛，根本就無熟睡過，頂唔順去看醫生，sick leave 一天... 順便看埋隻手，係 sun burnt，醫生話唔可以比佢出汗，唔可以日曬，最好係室內，但唔好出風，唔好比佢太乾 @.@ 所以我就係房開冷氣著長袖摟 :p 好唔環保 :p 但咁樣休息左一日，訓左一日，係好 d，星期二返工都無咩野~ 但就仲係好痛，同埋開始喉嚨痛！
6/5 晚返到家，有 d 感冒跡象，即刻食感冒-D，明明好似好好多，點知睡醒開唔到聲，又去看醫生。醫生話感冒~ 亦話... 曬得犀利都會引起身體不適~
看過醫生，返公司，做埋 d 野~ 早走...
本來以為已經好返~ 點知今個星期一.... 勁頭痛... 又tired... 好眼訓咁~ 又發冷... 著左件大冷衫都凍到勁打噴嚏... 又"fee lee fat let"... 可能我老細驚我傳染人... 同我講: 你好病喎~ 不如返屋企休息一陣再做埋個 report 啦~ 咁樣好 d 呀~ 有另一同事經過，問: 你感冒呀? 看左醫生未呀? 快 d 返屋企休息啦! 於是就回家了~
以為這樣就會好返~ 點知... 不斷的發燒.. 食退燒藥...

I'm sick again
(moved from elsewhere)
I'm sick again... Long time haven't cried so "seriously" in the Clinic... :P it's really painful... doctor!
mum's taking care of my aunt who is currently in hospital... so it's time for me to learn how to take care of myself...
but then when every thing seems alrite... my stomach is not feeling well after lunch... like hammers hammering my stomach wall... i'm so sad now...
and... can i have a break? my energy bar is currently in red ... alerting by flashing and alarming inside... it's so noisy that i can't ignore it anymore... how i can do? i need... at least to restore it up to the yellow range... :P will the holiday next week help? Hoping so!!
i've already re-watched 4 taiwanese dramas and in the mid- of the 5th one within June... n i watched 1 movie too... see how serious i am this time? (well... i think in fact it should be of "mild" level :P 'coz i'm feeling peaceful) i'm still finding this time's root cause... but not yet concluded... a few options to think abt... 1) health issues [probably not; i dun think i was that worried] 2) fear abt disappearing [yes... n i think it deals with another deep root cause] 3) disappointment after vacation [i think this triggered!] so i think i need to plan myself something more meaningful to get out of this whirlpool... but what?

曬傷了的前臂 follow up 篇
(moved from elsewhere)
尋日要去覆診 (中醫)，順便比雙手醫生看，我無同佢講係曬親，淨係話好痕，點知佢一口就"咬定": "你去左外地曬過太陽? (我點頭) 曬傷左喎！"要搽番 after sun or qv cream 都得，等一個禮拜應該會退架啦".... 心想: 一個 week... 咁痕點算喎? qv cream.. 屋企有喎~
醫生見我不段"素"隻手，臨走時問: 你係咪好痕呀? 我即刻起勁地點頭: 係呀! 跟住就同我針左兩下啦~
針灸真係止痕架~ 連 d 紅印都退埋~ 只係效果不太持久，我返到屋企行下入廚房，一有 d 熱氣又開始紅番，仲慢慢痕起來~
食完飯沖完涼先記起~ 之前執房，將支 qv cream dump 左~ 好似因為過左期~ 咁點算好呢? 突然醒起之前脫小腿毛，痛到七彩之後，tammy 比過 d body gel 我，話可以舒緩不適~ 我見係 gel，唔理得咁多就即刻羅黎搽啦~ 勁易吸收，搽完舒服晒，仲要好滑添~
不過可能始終唔係 after sun，過左一陣又痕過~ 我忍住好耐架啦~ 跟住就係睡覺啦~ :)
今朝搽完個 gel，今朝成朝都 keep 到，雖然間中有 d 痕，都有 d 忍唔住要"ao"，但無變紅... 不過就起粒粒~
食完 lunch，想住忍到返屋企就 ok，點知都係唔得~ 頭先勁痕，起晒粒粒同紅色一達達，忍唔住落街買 cream。
專登去附近間有 R 字既藥房，本來想買 qv，但 qv 好大支，就問下個藥劑師有無野可以搽我隻手 d 野。果然係藥劑師，我 d 同事個個以為我敏感，好奇怪曬太陽會曬到咁，個藥劑師又係一口咬定: 你曬親呀? 我連忙點頭: 係呀！於是個藥劑師就推薦左一隻"燙火膏"比我: 好似 after sun 咁，仲 moisturizing 呀~
咦~ 原來我曬到"sun burnt"... 只係我既 sun burnt 係起泡泡... 不過無水架喎~
一搽個陣勁唔吸收，成隻手黏稠稠~ 不過係冷氣底下，勁快就乾晒咁~ 宜家搽左一個鐘度，都仲好舒服... 又看唔到紅色啦~ 不過右手可能搽得唔夠多，有 d 乾乾地既感覺，可能要補番 d 先~
不過雙手其實都仲有 d "hing hing" 地... 右手又比左手熱 d~ 係咁架啦，你估神仙藥咩~ 不過尋晚針完，真係連 hing 都唔 hing 架喎~
希望快 d 好番啦~ ^^

曬傷了的前臂 + 生熱痱的大腿
(moved from elsewhere)
台灣好好玩，不過好熱又曬...
看天氣報告話有雷雨，所以仲帶晒傘呀、雨衣呀咁，羅起左支身體防曬又放番低，想住應該唔需要用，點知我去個幾日天氣好到爆，個太陽遲遲都唔肯落山，熱力夠晒！好在我有支 spf 50 既防曬乳液，塊面先「保得住」！但我既身體...
本來係o個邊都無乜野，第一日(到達既第二天)曬左一個早上，雙手就變左兩截色... 我當日著短袖既 polo shirt，由 the mid of arm 直落去到手指都係黑晒！之後覺得唔對路，羅把傘出黎遮太陽，個頭髮先無咁傷。當日着牛仔裙，本來想住咁會無咁"局"，點知低估左熱力，熱到我呢個平時汗腺幾乎算得上閉塞既人流汗！一出汗就死啦，我大腿唔瘦架喎 :p 好在條裙係 stretch 既貼身款，雙腿唔會太大動作，無咁慘！
第二日醒 d，着背心加薄褸，遮到 elbow 位又唔會好熱！因為帶左又唔想"sai" (=waste) ，專登係條鬆鬆 one piece 抵加條打底褲，好在我醒目帶定多幾條 leggings 同打底 pants！本來係基隆市都無乜野，但我都醒目買定支 lotion 以備不時之需。去到和平島，落左車，我地懷疑我地落遲左，所以 info 話要行五至十分鐘既路程，我地好似行左成十幾分鐘。一路都係 d 鎮仔既街，無遮無掩，個太陽就係你上面，開左傘都好似透曬 d 光入黎咁。去到個海邊公園看海同石，又係要沿路行，海邊，乜遮擋都無，名符其實「兜頭兜面」射 d 陽光入黎！行左無幾耐，我已經知道"lai"野 (=中招)，短褲無"遮"到既大腿部位開始有 d 刺痛，實係 d 類似熱痱既東東。所以一去到羅東既民宿，有機會換衫我就即刻換番條新加坡短褲！:p
之後 keep 住搽 lotion 就好番好多，但另外有 d 位，唔係熱痱，真係"損"得太厲害，(因為我大腿真係有 d 唔合比例既粗，所以熱得太勁就有此等狀況)，就改搽藥膏，本來都好好地，返香港個日著 jeans，先發現條 cropped jeans 咁"鞋"，又有 d 整損自己 d 肉既感覺。返到香港，著左一日裙返工，又好似有 d "惡化"，即刻換番條褲，不過我覺得最好都係著 leggings! :p 好似我係台灣咁~
上面講左，因為 keep 住搽 lotion 同著新加坡短褲，好快就好番啦~ 咁我返到台北，又唔想着條新加坡短褲周街走，就着對 leggings 係 jeans skirt 入面，原來好 work 喎，因為對 leggings 係 cotton，又軟又舒服，仲索汗添！
但因為我 keep 住幾日都係着背心加薄褸，elbow 對落既前臂就遭殃了。曬到黑晒都算，開始又紅又痛，係台灣都即刻搽 lotion，點知一般既 body lotion 直程滲入唔到，白色一達達，要 massage 好耐先變透明，即係話乾到七彩又有角質啦~
返到黎，想住齋黑jer~ 點知尋晚開始 forearm 勁痕，天呀！又曬傷左啦~ ><
對腳又未好番，d 損點仲越黎越"爛"咁.... 點算呀???!!!!
仲有..... 被蚊針到幾乎變花柱既小腿~ 好在我有噴蚊怕水，咪一定變左 dot dot 腿~ :p 不過宜家都係好痕，有幾粒開始有變"好多小水泡"既現象... 要小心處理...
無怪得知，個邊"早晨新聞"既天氣報告叫人"防曬防中暑"... 防曬真係好重要，因為唔係黑唔黑既問題，而係"善後"既麻煩~
好痕呀！好難頂呀！有無特效止痕藥架? 我想跳落水呀!!!! 咁樣會無咁痕~ :p

Summer has come!
(moved from elsewhere)
Summer has come already! So changed the background to one with more Summer stuff!
夏天到了!! 所以換一個多一點夏日色彩的背景~
After going to the 'cold spring' in Taiwan, I really wanna go swimming!!! Can anybody tell me... where in HKG can I have 'clear and clean' water to swim in?
在台灣泡過冷泉後，真的好想好想去游泳喔！有人可以告訴我，在香港哪裡有既清晰又潔淨的地方可以游泳嗎？
I must do some exercises in order to fight for the hot sun and the troublesome skin problem arouse from the heat!!!!
我一定要做點運動去對抗那猛烈的太陽！還有因為那浩熱天氣引致的可惡的皮膚問題！

Academic Report
(moved from elsewhere)
Stupid me... i only discovered that our result had already been out from my friend's Xanga.. :P
大懵的我.... 在朋友的 xanga 上才發現，成績原來已經公佈了~
Immediately logon to the system to check my result, as expected... thanks god! but i think i could have done better in the linguistics one then i could try having a full mark GPA for this semester... :P
立即登入查成績的系統，結果如預期的... 感謝主! (其實我開始很懷疑我的信仰... 不過這是題外話，現在還真的是 Thanks God! 那是「主」還是「神」，容後再討論吧) 不過我覺得我可以在"語言學"那一科做的更好，那我就可以在這個學期嘗嘗 GPA 滿分的滋味! :P
I did better in this Semester.... dunno if it has some relationship with the fact that i only need to take 'elective courses' this semester and no core courses are required... as from my UG experience... i did best in elective courese.. probably 'coz i choose subjects i like and hv interest in and thus better result....
這個學期的成績比上一個好~ 不知道這與'選修科'有沒有關係? 這個學期不用上'必修科'... 以大學的經驗來看... 我從來在'選修科'都有不錯的成績... 大概是因為我會選我一些我有興趣我喜歡的課吧~ 這樣一來.. 成績應該是比較好的~
anyway... very happy that my 1st year master study is a 'happy ending' and now looking forward to another new good start next year!
總知~ 我第一年的碩士課程就這樣"大團圓結束"了... 非常開心!! 現正期盼着明年另一個好的新開始吧！

Shanghai 24 hrs!
久違了的上海，卻只能匆匆留了一會。
多虧臨時換了"同行同事"，「認識」了四位地道新朋友。
一下飛機，因為有「傷殘人士」同行，過關等等都異常順利，當地地勤人員一直送到的士站。上了的士，一路還算順利，還以為可以避免了塞車的命運，因在大陸，高速上走六十的龜速多的是，但剛過了機場地區沒多久，卻遇上「高速公路堵車」。
折騰了一個小時左右，終於到了我們下榻的飯店，名為「東湖飯店」，活像回到上世紀四十年代，一座在「上海灘」會出現的「中國式西方大公寓」，當然跟和平飯店又有不一樣的感覺。
剛放下行李，同事的朋友已熱情的在等我們吃飯，吃了一頓很好吃的上海菜，飯店格調很好，我有印象在雜誌上有看過他的介紹，果然很不錯呢。
除了那位熱情的朋友外，他還另外請了一位女生一起來，說是他的同事。不知道是不是他的「對象」？還是為了我這位女生帶一個伴吧？因為我們還去了上海的 PUB 喔。(不是 CLUBBING 啦)
飯後，回飯店一回，開會！！厲害吧！我們都很敬業喔，先把工作做好再去玩的喔。
十一點鐘，出發到 PUB 去了。很不錯，跟香港(基本上是中環、銅鑼灣跟西貢的，其他的我也沒去過)的沒很大的差別，只是酒比較便宜，BUDWEISER 都只不過是 RMB15。
上海晚上很冷，雖然預知了十度，但還是很冷，因為我只有一件 POLO 跟一件 SUIT JACKET。
這一次都沒辦法去「新天地」那邊品嘗好吃又劃算的西餐，唯有等下一次吧。
基本上，這就是我這一次在上海僅餘的FREE TIME......

Mozart's Letters (about the Translation)
(moved here)
last nite we had a presentation on "Mozart's Letters"...
personally i think it's quite hard... not only 'coz the so-called English original is already a Translated Text... but also the languages Mozart used and the word-play he had... it might be easier to translate from German (and also some Italian and French as i know... ) to English but it would be totally different if putting it in the Chinese context.
one excerpt my classmate showed is as follows:
"So if you want to send a reply to me from that town of Augsburg yonder, you see, then write at once, the sooner the better, so that I may be sure to receive your letter, or else if I'm gone I'll have the bad luck, instead of a letter to get some muck. Muck! -Muck! - Ah, muck! Oh, sweet word! Muck! Chuck! That too 'is fine. Muck, chuck!-muck!-suck-oh, charmante! muck, suck! That's what I like! Muck, chuck and suck! Chuck muck and suck muck"
Attention was paid to the three words: muck, chuck and suck...
The Chinese version reads: 糞蛆、垃圾、污泥... which was criticized as almost 'total failure'... first of all... the rhyme's lost... the meaning's not the same... and so and so... but this raised another question... does the English convey the original German meaning? or the English itself already altered "something" to make the... say... rhyme and filthy context vivid in English? Prof. Tung said we had no way to check the German and to compare it... and since German and English are from the same root... the words, she supposed, the choice of English words... such as the rhyme and the meanings should be able to reflect the German 'spirit'... but it wouold be too difficult for translating them into Chinese... can's note: Total Agree! Prof. Tung added that the Chinese translation itself did not seem right... though they're all talking about dirty things but the degree or nature of that dirty things may not be comparable... and this differs from the English version...
As I'm too interested in this, I checked the German Original!!!! It reads:
wenn sie mir also wolln antworten, aus der stadt Augsburg dorten, so schreiben sie mir baldt, damit ich den brief erhalt, sonst wenn ich etwa schon bin weck, bekomme ich statt eincn brief einen dreck. dreck! - - dreck! - o dreck! - o süsses wort! - dreck! - schmeck! - auch schön! - dreck, schmeck! - dreck! - leck - o charmante! - dreck, leck! - das freüet mich! - dreck, schmeck und leck! - schmeck dreck, und leck dreck!
Brilliant!!!! The three words are: dreck, schmeck, leck... The first and last one are correct but not the middle one.
Dreck, a noun, usu. meaning is mud or muckiness.Leck, a noun, meaning 'leakage' or 'seepage' BUT it is also a slang or colloquial bad language. It acts as a VERB in 'Leck mich am Arsch!' meaning 'Kiss my ass'(or similar meaning). This 'bad' phrase once appeared in Mozart's song and thus I think 'Leck' here should be a verb. That is, personally I think the word 'suck' the translator used is referring to its 'verb' meaning instead of noun, as appears in the Chinese translation.For the middle word, it spells "schmeck" which is wrong. Possible answers may be "schneck", an Austrian langauge meaning slug; or "schmeckt", singular verb form for "to taste" (so far as I know, it is related to food! e.g. The tea tastes good). So I think it is possible that the word 'chuck' the translator used may also refer to the verb form instead of the noun form (as my classmate showed the class).
In fact the last "sentence" gives us clue that schmeck and leck (or chuck and suck) are probably verbs based on basic grammar... if two nouns go together... the first one is describing / giving further explanation to the second one... e.g. Music Class = a class of music... thus the suggestion of "verb forms" follows the context more reasonably than the suggestion of "noun forms" as translated in the Chinese version.This may be another Translation Issue. The German original here only helps us to (maybe) understand more or get a closer meaning to the author. But simply from the English version, we can indeed discover the 'verb' and 'noun' issues especially when having a deeper look at the author or the author's other works (issues like little formal education, rude, relationship with father, family, etc.).The Chinese translation here failed to convey the meaning and taste of the source text not just because the choice of words are awkward as we discussed but the translator also failed to taste the real bit of Mozart.
Try thinking the three words again in "Muck (noun), Chuck (verb! or replace it with the German original [let's take it as 'taste']), Suck (verb!)" and probably you can better understand what Mozart's playing with his cousin, the one whom he might have once felt in love with.
Very nice indeed... naughty but witty...

back from shanghai
i'm back! but not from a vacation!!
this year's easter overlapped with our ching ming festival n thus could go no where...
n unfortunately... a business trip "touched the edge" of my holiday!! >< n i'm not yet told of any compensation leave... probably no... it would indeed be possibly... poor me...
after the so-called five days' holiday.... i'm even more tired than before!!!!
first day of the holiday: went for a "spa" treatment... not really a spa :P just a massage section... n is part of 'chinese medical treatment'... then had lunch with mum n aunties... after that went for a hair treatment... both color n treatment... another three hours (almost!)... then shopped for the kids' "bon bon" with mum... when back home... it's already half six!!
second day of the holiday: had a long sleep till 10!!! yoga... n at the same time watching japanese tv drama.. :P lunch... shopped with mum.. tried to find a suitable vast but failed... then went to Taikoo shing for the movie "sunshine" with tim... great show i think... at least i think 真田広之 is very cool... though not that much acting... :P home for dinner as i needed more time for packing things! :P
third day of the holiday: early departure! got the 8:40am ship(?) / ferry (?) to Zhuhai... arrived there at ~10:00am... 'poorly' we're the 1st arriving there so we went to "yum cha"... went to visit my great grand mother at the age of 96... she couldn't recognise us this year.. last year she was sleeping when we were there... the year before last... she recognised me as my mum... set off to the... wht should it be called? it's neither a graveyard nor a cemetery... but a place for hosting the passed-away's ashes... set off at around 12:00noon... after a series of chinese customs... we finished the 'ceremony' and had lunch at 1:30pm... a very long lunch that we proabbly finished at around 3:30pm... then we went to Zhongshan... in fact there's no point for us to go to Zhongshan... as we should be in Macau the day after... but why? 'coz my uncle's going to give us a ride to Macau n he had bought a 'villa' (as called by himself) in Zhongshan... :P dinner with relatives (we drove from Zhuhai to Zhongshan together! :P) n dunno why finally still a quite late sleep...
fourth day of the holiday: early departure again!!! set off at 8:30am... n arrived Macau at 10:00am... had breakfast nearby... then WAITED!!! at home... wait for what? my youngest uncle n his family.... anyway... we went to the graveyard... n various temples... n carried out all the customs... n... we MISSED LUNCH TIME!!! so after all the stuff... we went for the egg tarts and cakes and lemonades and yoghurt!!! a "NOT GOOD" dinner.... don't follow those guides... we booked our 'usual' restaurant not early enough... n thus cannot make a table early.... n then we tried to find another restaurant nearby by looking at those guidebooks... n then find a really.... not-good-at-all one... so we decided not going back anymore... went to the pier quite early... at around half eight... but waited inside the pier for hours!! 'coz our tickets were at 1:30am...
fifth day of the holiday: day set off for SH.... long time haven't been to SH... but unfortunately my schedule's too tight that i didn't have much time spend on leisure! had a hair shampoo in the salon... then had lunch with mum n steve... then rushed to the airport! flied to SH n really poorly my boss got his ankle hurt n was in a wheelchair... n thus... as the other guy was holding all the luggages... i was the one taking after the wheelchair!!!

FINA World Championships (2)
(moved from elsewhere)
Japan got silver in Men's 4 x 100m Medley Relay... sort of unbelievable... and even more... they just lagged Australia 0.23 seconds... though not that small... but smaller gap than what they led Russia!
Noticed anything wrong? probably you know it... USA was disqualified... the reason... Crocker jumped too fast... and further reason? 1) possibly (be more 'cautious' when using these two words: probably and possibly after watching the Pursuit of Happyness) not much practice in handover 2) probably they're behind Japan after the breaststroke... but indeed it isn't strange!! it's just a Heat and Hansen's 'sick'... but Kitajima's swimming hard!!
anyway, without the USA... sorry to say... the Final became more exciting and interesting to watch!! :P
Japan was in the 4th lane!!!! God!!! This lane seemed to have given the Japanese power to fight for the medals!
Morita's start was good... at least lead for a while... finished the fourth... 54.76 fine.. his norm... (i didn't remember his exact result in Athens.. but probably he's not working out his best in this whole event) then Kitajima had a real wonderful performance... not even picked up the 1st position.. but he finished at 59.23!!!!!! in fact broke the 100m breaststroke CR already! And just a 0.1s lag the WR! If he swam this in his individuals, he should have got one more Gold! Then it came to Yamamoto... another great guy... as steve said, 'i remember his face 'coz he had stepped on the "medallist's stairs" in other international games before!' He said in a news that he kept telling himself to swim hard to 'defense' the 1st position for his teammate! He did it in 51.9, his best time in this event. Same as Kitajima, if he swam like this in his Individuals, he might have chance to fight for a medal, which he should have enough 'power' to fight for one but dunno what happened to his Heats.
Anyway, I guess the Freestyle swimmer also worked very hard... we all witnessed how he became the 2nd then the 3rd... and almost the 4th... even the commentary said that Japan might lose the medal even their first three swimmers did a good job...
but somehow... that freestyle guy just got some 'force' and 'power' to swim!! and caught up the Russia! and even 'invading' the Aussie!
Finally from the TV... it's quite unbelievable that the Aussie and Japan almost touched together (you know... from TV.. bare eye can't distinguish too small differences)...
Only 0.23s lagged the Aussie... and that's why... the King of Breaststroke... steve said he really swam like a frog... :P Kitajima-san said they are 'swimming' toward Beijing! btw... they broke the Japanese record...
just wonder if China can hv some result in swimming too? the Japanese and Korean Asian game medallists have some performances.. at least some.. like entering the Finals... where's ours? besides the Women's Team and Wu Peng?
anyway.... looking forward to Beijing!!! ^_^
P.S. mushroom's asking me to join her as a volunteer... i plan to do so too... just worrying if we r qualified.. as i know... they require 'sports background' ppl....

eng learning
(moved here)
had an interesting lecture last nite talking about verb phrases but this is not the interesting part as wht our prof said linguistics boring… yes he did say it but not in class.. :P he said it when he drove me to the station
the most interesting part is to know that hk students can hardly do past perfect correct it’s surprising too how come? prof said according to a research survey done by the eng dept they interviewed many (the number was not told) cuhk stds and found out that the most difficult part in learning eng is tenses [my NB: the #1 difference between chi and eng is tense n thus i always wonder if the scholars deliberately set the questionnaire leading to the intended result; of ‘coz this shouldn’t be the case but i wonder why not prepositions the most difficult?] and the weakest part in their eng is past perfect!!!!! i supposed it was the 'big' group covering both simple and continuous.
prof he showed two examples (remeber they are wrong english!) that most hk stds did / wrote (quoted from prof he; i'm not sure and in fact i doubted)
i visited cuhk when i arrived shatin
i had dinner after i arrived home
so as prof he said strictly speaking they were wrong in both sentences a 'had' was missing before 'arrived'
n he spent a few min in explaining the time line time point n why it should be part perfect
strange... simple past perfect should be a 'clear enough tense'... how about future perfect? personally i think they're "related"... if u get the concept of 'perfect' well, there shouldn't be any problems in understanding past and future perfect.... but not present perfect.. present perfect has other meanings and usage...
english is a tense language with 12 tenses (so far as i've learnt)
to make it simpler... let's say the timeline has pt. a b c d and e, and now is at pt. d;
basic rule is:
simple past perfect is a; past is b but u have to explicitely mentioned the pt. b when u use the tense; present perfect is c; simple present is d, future is e, any action has not yet happened but planned to happen before a future reference point (e.g. e) is future perfect.
these are the basic six tenses without continuous. when putting continuous to them... we formed 12 tenses.
are they so difficult?
i remember i learnt these in primary school, but not the whole 12 tenses.
we should have learnt 9 in details without great details in the perfect continuous.
the whole 12 tenses were further explained in great details during the junior high school
i remember i once saw my friend's notes from the tutorial centre, A1 or A in A, they also detailed ALL 12 tenses!!! so it shouldn't be sth. strange to hk stds... can i conclude that?

LKF
(moved from elsewhere)
昨天，朋友 LKF 之聚，本來要 OT 的我沒抱「樂觀」態度，想可能只能去喝一杯吧，晚餐該沒我的份。
但‧‧‧OT 的晚上，正當我很努力地工作，期望多做一點，WEEKEND 不要「通頂」時，我被「趕」走了。因為我沒有 KEY，不能久留，我 team 的同事早已走個清光，當 another division 的 director 回家時，我必須離開了。
既然離開，就去吃晚飯吧！
在鏞記‧‧‧對面吃潮州「打冷」，東西其實不太好吃，但總算划算。
八時四十分，HAPPY HOUR 剛過的時間，LKF 人頭也算是湧湧，一行六人在 LKF 走了幾圈，連 SOHO 也去了，還找不到一間「合心水」的。
氣氛與舒適，我們選擇了後者，看來我們真的是太累了，在 LKF 竟然要圍坐在桌子旁喝酒。
第一次，在 LKF 喝啤酒。感覺很奇怪，但因為不想喝 TEQUILLA，在 MEXICAN 的地方，看來也別無選擇了！
很好吃的 NACHOS MACHOS! 真的好好吃！
第一次，離開 LKF 後去 CAUSEWAY BAY！！！第一次真正踏足登龍街！(是的，我只會在去 STANLEY 的時候才踏足那一點點的登龍街。) 平常離開 LKF，最常去的「後續」是皇后碼頭。:P
二時回家，睡覺，四大男生還有後續。
今天，一早起來繼續我的工作，剛剛完成，打字打得手很累。
本來今天還要跟另外一班朋友聚聚的，但我要工作 >< 他們剛剛打電話來，現在在 SHOOTERS! 真的很抱歉，我要好好睡了，去迎接明天的「OCEAN PARK 之旅」！不過，話說回來，好久沒去 SHOOTERS，沒去 SHOOTERS，就沒喝 SNOWBALL 了。SHOOTERS 的 SNOWBALL..... 我人生的第一杯 COCKTAIL 喔! ^_^ 也因為在別的地方喝過一杯很難很難喝的 SNOWBALL，(完全不明白為何可以那麼難喝) 我從此只會在 SHOOTERS 喝 SNOWBALL~ 雖然年代老遠，雖然已很少在 MENU 上看到這個名字 (真的很少看到，為什麼呢? COCKTAIL也有潮流嗎?)，希望 SHOOTERS 還是有吧。
好了，該睡~
謝謝大家，希望沒有打擾到你們的雅興，下一次我會好好說清楚「去」還是「不去」！不過真的是 ENJOYABLE NIGHT~
跟和女生出去的感覺不一樣~ :P
對，還要謝謝你的"$$ REFUND"~

大 S 之啟示
(moved from elsewhere)
至從去年「暑假」，家中換掉了舊電視，換上薄薄還 support 高清的 plasma，又添置了一台新的 dvd 機後，我又從新 "pick up" 我看偶像劇的習慣。不用屈就在 14" 的 laptop monitor，感覺很好，有點回到中學看日劇的時候。一齣接一齣，dvd 錢很貴 :p 雖然「習慣」了大大的 monitor，可更不習慣沒有「同步」追看的感覺，結果又回歸到我的 laptop 去。:p 現在看「同步」的，很方便，因為有一個給人家發放 video clips 的平台。反正只想感受一下追看電視的感覺，線上看，對我沒差。
好不容易終於「排」到大 S 的新劇，《轉角※遇見愛》，很驚訝！
至流星花園後，我很崇拜大 S，因為她保養實在太好了！以 26 歲之齡演 18 歲的少女，形似神似！
年輕，有活力，皮膚又好，頭髮更好！
我頭髮很長的時候，可是有跟着她的保養方法去做喔！只是現在沒有了 :P
這幾年，雖然常常去台灣，卻很少留意她的新聞或節目，只是一直覺得她保養很好，直到那個手錶的廣告，真有一下子把我嚇倒。
人過三十真的年青不再？還是她刻意要成熟起來？媽媽說三十歲的女人是要成熟的！好！我相信。
可昨晚看了才一集的劇，我就去做 mask 了。
大 S 風采依然，演起有點小姐脾氣的大小姐還是像的，但我真的可以把她跟三十歲連繫起來！我不知道這是不是角色或導演的要求，只是我個人很驚訝。
因為影片 quality 不好，我看不清楚「細節」，只是我的感覺中，缺少了「年青活力」的感覺。才四年的時間，我覺得「感覺上的變化」差很多。
寫到這裡，我記得小 S 說過「我姐姐像仙女」，倒讓我想起我心中真正的仙女，已歸天的仙女，之前有寫過，祝福她在天上要過得好，又讓我想起她的臉，好美，一定要像她那樣，發至內心的和藹善良。
回歸主題，今天早上冒着遲到的危險，還是要把保養品好好的塗在臉上才出門。
果然，26 歲是皮膚的分水嶺。好好把握 26 歲前之時光是我現在最重要的事情！

瑣事數件之二《ifc 閒逛篇》
(moved from elsewhere)
新年過後一直要到 ifc 去買點東西，雖近在咫尺，卻遲遲沒有行動。不是跟同事飯聚，便是另有更重要的事要辦。
終於在前天的 lunch time 抽空到了 ifc 一趟。
買了要買的東西後，便去搜羅一下吃的。為了避開一樓的人潮，我走上二樓去，當然也是因為想做一些 window shopping! :p 走呀走，被迎面而來的一雙好漂亮的靴子吸引着，套在靴子裡的牛仔褲也很漂亮。牛仔褲跟靴子的空間鬆緊適宜，尤其配上那雙帶點牛仔感覺的靴子，很美。被這美腿所吸引着，往上望，整條腿都很美喔，那麼 slim 卻感覺不到瘦，再往上望，很 smart 的 jacket ?/ blazer?，反正很簡單，tee + jacket + jeans + boots，但就很有型，而且很高，剛好我穿了 converse，更突顯那女子的高，感覺好像看到外國人一樣。好奇心，也就是八卦心，推使下，拿出 guts 來一個「對望」吧！名模喔！可是是誰呢？我真的不能一眼認出，等她走過我身邊時，我腦海浮現一個名字：陳嘉容。希望我沒有認錯吧，她 figure 真的好美喔，剛好她好像在忙整理東西，有小露一下小蠻腰，小腹真的好平好平，好羨慕喔！雖然我不瘦，但我還是挺 proud of my waist 啦，畢竟我曾經苦練 sit up 多年，功力還有少許，雖然現在有生疏，但我小腹到現在還不錯吧。(其實也沒有啦，我才剛剛發現我要再好好練習 sit up) 究竟怎樣才可以那麼平呢? 真人，我真的沒看過那麼平的小腹；電視，好像連香港小姐們也比她有脂肪。現在每天晚上至少練三組共60下，該增加到100下了。已經練回大概一個月，雖然中途有停過很多天，但 100 下也沒甚麼啦！好！努力！有了更了不起的目標囉！
還是要多說一下，她的 figure 真的好美，真不愧是「骨肉均稱」的名模喔！

瑣事數件之一《新年篇》
(moved from elsewhere)
《爆竹一聲除舊歲......》(歡迎對上下聯)
一如既往，大除夕回「家」了。家在澳門，甫踏入午時，爆竹聲響過不停。經濟似乎真的好轉了很多，特別是剛攀升上「世界第一賭城」的澳門，久違的熱鬧一一重現。不同於往年，今年沒有外出「逛花市」，留家當個好女兒。﹝實情是當了一整個下午的褓姆，帶着我的堂弟東奔西跑。去到大三巴，他不肯爬樓梯，難為了我要在後面支撐他，累透了。﹞才過晚上十一時﹝即午時，中國歷法為大年初一已﹞，霹靂啪啦的爆竹聲此起彼落，伴隨着對岸珠海的煙火。你有玩過煙火嗎？不要以為是在偶像劇中看到那樣，男女主角浪浪漫漫的玩着「神仙棒」﹝對不起，好久沒玩了，忘了那叫甚麼名字，就是一支會有火光出來，燒到盡頭會自己滅掉那一種﹞。新年可是放「轟天砲」呢！直飛上天，有劃過長空像彗星的，更受歡迎的是大年初二維港上空出現的那類：在地上安個「起發器」﹝像火箭一樣﹞，點火，引線燒斷了，煙火直飆上空，在天上「爆」起各式各樣的花樣，那根本是一場「煙花匯演」！不，不是一場，而是延綿不斷的！
煙火的壯觀情況，配上我家的地理環境，再配上我房間的方位與床頭的位置，簡直一絕！
該形容一下我家吧！選房子的時候，為了空氣流通，老人家身體健康，我們家大廳﹝客廳跟飯廳成一直線的大廳﹞的陽台對着一望無際的海洋﹝如果那個也算海洋的話﹞，對岸就是珠海。由於向海的一邊有點西斜，當初就讓老人家住另外一邊的房間。我的房間呢？當然是向海的那一間。黃昏日落的時候其實很漂亮，坐在床上悠閒看書，偶爾向外望一下，感覺真好！可是一到了新年，惡夢卻開始了。只有在新年的這幾天，我會很質疑床頭置在窗底的決定！新年，冬天，沒有空調，窗總是要開着吧！落下窗紗，外邊此起彼落的爆竹聲，叫喊聲﹝點爆竹前一定要大聲告知，以免樓下有人經過﹞還有「舞獅聲」裊裊傳入耳窩！為什麼新年放鞭炮要在旁舞獅？這個二十年的疑團還沒解開，問了二十年的答案都是「喜慶呀」。窗紗雖落了，卻隔不了那震耳欲聾的「喜慶聲」，更隔不了那「色彩斑斕」的煙花匯演！紅的、綠的、在天上閃啊閃，我緊閉着眼卻還是感到那一道道的「光芒」。算了，走出大廳看看電視吧，反正爸爸跟弟弟還沒回來。﹝他們跟姑姑去了參觀新葡京﹞澳門真好！可以接收那麼多台灣的電視頻道！看了一會兒「東風」，轉了去「中天」，很好笑的新年節目。好不容易待過了子時，以為他們會收歛些，卻想不到這裡的人都不用睡覺喔！天喔！整晚！整晚喔！我還好，強迫一下自己入睡就可以，媽媽呢？卻是徹夜難眠喔！弟弟說他也不好睡，我適應力該不錯呢！
大年初一，很熱，很熱！吃了一個很好吃的"澳門葡國菜"下午茶，那一家餐廳叫海灣，挺有名的，在媽角廟附近。幸好先吃了一頓可口的下午茶，觀光塔中菜廳﹝應該有名字的，但我忘了﹞的食物真的不好吃，茶市點心如是，晚飯宴席也是。樓下「葡國餐廳」的義大利菜好吃多了。﹝對！是義大利菜，可它是一家「澳門葡國餐廳」。﹞
晚飯後一家四口去了永利，好漂亮喔！很悠閒的感覺，燈光柔柔，空氣頗清新，還有 starbucks！casino 外面又有名店，chanel 的姐姐水準不錯，dior 的也很殷勤。發現了一家看似很好的 lounge，尤見甚多外籍人士光顧，該有品質保證吧！澳門的 bar 跟 lounge，調酒的水平真的不感恭維，試過錯叫一次後，在澳門 cocktail 我只喝 screwdriver，錯不了，一定不會難喝。約定弟弟下一次一定要來這家試試看。回家前，剛好碰上永利門前音樂大噴泉的表演時間，就駐足觀賞一下，真的好漂亮喔！在永利門前拍了很多照片，看上去一點都不像在澳門呢，感覺很好！

MSN Nickname
(moved from elsewhere)
我在前一篇說道，我很喜歡她，所以很傷心，我的 MSN NICKENAME 也用上相同的「副題」，弄得很多朋友問我發生甚麼事，沒甚麼，真的沒甚麼。
我想，他們可能都把這個 NICKNAME 跟我之前的 POST 聯繫上吧，謝謝關心，借日本人的常話：「托你的鴻福，現在沒事。」
這麼一來讓我有點內疚，當知道「現在沒事」之後都沒有再「跟進」過，但其實我心裡是很擔心的，相信她該明白！← 這是藉口嗎? 我也糊塗了。
但這事情讓我覺得我們真的要好好珍惜我們現在所擁有的一切，當物是人非或人是物非時，再多的說話也無補於事，人去樓空是也。
突然，很想很想打電話給我的朋友，告訴她們我很愛她們；也很想跟她們抱抱，有點明白之前很流行的「抱抱運動」的理念與用意。

我很喜歡她，所以‧‧‧
我真的很傷心，第一次那麼震撼的感覺到死亡的存在，第一次明白何謂「不能接受現實」的感覺，第一次虛實混淆得要強逼自己思考，原來「接受不到」的感覺是這樣。
願你安息，就像你說的一樣化為天使，守護著你愛的人。

Blood Diamond
Haven't actually posted something here for a few days but been writing quite much these days since my 'movie night' last week. Recently, since Christmas I guess, I seem to pick up my movie habit and UA Times Square once again became my "Weekend Spot". I've been spending a few weekends there already. But with the school started, I prefer the First Night Show (not the debut or first show but First Night Show, i.e. Thursday Nite) as I have class during weekends.
Last Thursday I watched Blood Diamond. Before everything, I just wanna watch a "DiCarpio picture" as I haven't watched him acting for a long time; the 'previous' one is probably 'Catch Me if You Can' (in cinema) or 'Aviator' (VCD). Then I noticed the Movie's title in Chinese and didn't know the term. After a while I figured out the English Title and was shocked. Really, I expected something from it, at least more than a movie.
Frankly, I may be biased as I know the story (and should be a bit more understandings on it than the general public). I'm not an "attached" volunteer of any of the humanitarian organizations but I was once a Rotaract Club member and a long term volunteer in school, though some times ago. And I kept involving in some World Vision events and activities and all of them were about Africa.
It is a very sad story in Africa. Originally I try to write something technically on the movie based on what I learnt from the class 'Film Art' and of 'coz the 'Translation of Subtitles' (though I did not read most of the Subtitles, I noticed a few points to share). However, I just read a newspaper article yesterday on the reaction of De Beer, the BIG diamond entreprise and I really like to write something on that.
Not sure if you had already watched it or if you have not planned to watch it. If you're the latter one, I would definitely suggest you going, unless you're a super sentimental person or you're easily emotionally driven by miserables. If you plan to watch it, then maybe just skip this entry and back when you finished it.
It's a story about blood diamonds, smugglers, RUF and the Civil War in Sierra Leone in 1999-2000 transition. Sienna Leona is adjacent to Liberia, which is famous for having diamonds. Liberia is selling legal diamonds to the World, just like South Africa. Sienna Leona is rich in diamonds too. However, for some reasons (which did not explicitly explain in the movie), smuggling of diamonds is too frequent and the income from selling diamonds help the RUF a lot in buying armies. Civil War kept going on and slaughters by RUF everywhere. When RUF found a strong man, they sent him to 'find diamond'; when they found a young boy, they 'picked' him as a baby killer. Thousands and thousands of people's lives are being controlled by these diamonds, technically termed as blood diamond or conflict diamond by its "nature". Millions of refugees fled to Ginea and were in fact 'prisoned' in the refugee camp.
These are the facts told in the movie and it serves as a background information. Remember, all the above are TRUE.
The story started with a fisherman (Djimon Hounsou) being forced to find diamonds by RUF. He found a rare diamond: pink, pure and large, which was highlighted in the movie. He tried to hide it for himself knowing that he would be killed if discovered by RUF. Unfortunately, his act was discovered but on the other hand, luckily the government army arrived and saved him. In the prison, rumour about him hiding a rare diamond entered into the ears of a smuggler (Leonardo DiCarpio), white African, ex-soldier from South Africa but originally from Zimberbwe.
Scenes followed are fisherman finding family, smuggler finding fisherman, smuggler meeting an Amercian journalist, etc.
I guess the scenes causing the biggest impact would be the slaughters, especially with the director's deliberate cut. On one shot, RUF killed hundreds of ordinary people, most of them native women and girls in the remote villages; on the other shot, boys and girls, women and men, foreigners and natives clubbing in the Capital!!! Slaughter followed slaughter, RUF grabbed boys as baby killers. The movie also showed how they trained the boys, how they gave 'medicine' to the boys and how they controlled the boys!!
Perhaps these are magnified in the movie for dramatic effect but that's real life in Africa. People in the peace era can never understand. I cannot understand how they exactly feel either but I once experienced similar thing. I remember once someone told me they were planning to visit Rwanda for the reconstruction of the Country after War. It was like a service or an observatory trip for volunteers to join. But before they had finished planning, the Country was in discrete Wars again!!!!
Baby killer is the GREATEST problem in Africa. The 'medicine' they fed the boys are drugs; they used the drugs to control them!! Unicef (and many other humanitarian organizations) has been doing a lot of works to help these boys but yet a long way to go.
Although there were many factors other than the diamonds driving Africa to today's situation, with NO DOUBT that diamond is one of the most important factor. If diamond cannot be sold at high prices, they would not fight for it. Without money, RUF cannot buy armies and might have fewer slaughters.
I'm not sure if you notice it or not, Al Qaeda was suspected to be heavily involved in the trade of blood diamond in Sierra Leone just before 9-11.
Tim was watching the movie with me and he said he hated diamonds now. He must be the audience that the director loves most!
I'm not saying that diamonds are no good nor did I say that diamonds start the chaos in Africa. The fact here is that those blood diamonds are illegal and should not be bought by any dealers!!!!
Without demand, there would never be a price! I just finished middle school economic class with no further and I understand this well already!
No dealers, no smugglers. All these are relative! The UN had already adopted methods to prevent blood diamonds from entering the World in 2003 but still it is a problem in the PRESENT!!!!!!
The De Beer Company, as far as I remember, had staff being discovered to be involved in the trade of blood diamonds. In the news I mentioned earlier, the Company accussed that the movie was 'out-dated'. IT IS NOT TRUE! History is history. History affect our lives and ways of living TODAY!
We understand that, from the Company's point of view, they have to do something when their turnover dropped greatly after the movie. Definitely finding Beyonce to promote buying diamonds is not a good idea to me. The BEST way to comfort customers or to advertise would be telling people the truth! There are already ways to distinguish blood diamonds! Why don't they use that to educate people?
In the UN Webpage, they also teach people "what to do?". They have guidelines for people to follow to find out if the dealer is selling legal diamond according to the Kimberly Process and with any doubts, we should seek for helps. I think this is a better promotion, at least to me.
Last Thursday I watched Blood Diamond. Before everything, I just wanna watch a "DiCarpio picture" as I haven't watched him acting for a long time; the 'previous' one is probably 'Catch Me if You Can' (in cinema) or 'Aviator' (VCD). Then I noticed the Movie's title in Chinese and didn't know the term. After a while I figured out the English Title and was shocked. Really, I expected something from it, at least more than a movie.
Frankly, I may be biased as I know the story (and should be a bit more understandings on it than the general public). I'm not an "attached" volunteer of any of the humanitarian organizations but I was once a Rotaract Club member and a long term volunteer in school, though some times ago. And I kept involving in some World Vision events and activities and all of them were about Africa.

Happy New Year!!!!
It's already mid-Jan!! Sorry to be late here...
Main reason: the Taiwan quake... that we can't get access to WWW...
So I could only post blog entries on my own website hosted locally in HK :D
Now's better... though the connection speed is still not fully recovered; still cannot play smoothly on YouTube... blogger.com is also loading slowly... but at least i can use Gmail now!
Talking abt my own website... 'coz of the quake... i digged out all .txt files from my backup harddisk and started to upload the .html to my server. But... as some of you may know, my website closed for a long time and all the layouts / design is sooooo outdated... so finally... really can't bare it... and i just used the most typical blog layout.. though in fact only quite outdated... but i guess it's "usual" for normal blogs.. :P
i'm now trying to relaunch my site and thus very busy working on it! now thinking of the contents... as before... photos, more of my travel or snapshot; writings, most possibly my assignments :P; music, share my favourite CD or my own works; drawings, try scanning my own drawings....
and my diary? i will still keep my personal blog here but with backups on my web... :P worrying another quake... maybe..

My 1st Master's 1st Academic Report
(moved here)
My 1st Master's 1st Academic Report is out!
Term GPA: 3.65 WCP Total: 21.90
I'm not too satisfactory as I targeted for a Term GPA of 4 and a WCP Total of 24, i.e. so-called Full Marks.
Though after finishing the papers, I understood that I might not have straight As. I still hoped for a Term GPA of 3.85 as I though I could have two A-s. At least, I got an A for the Abstract, which was claimed to be 10% of the total grade. It is in fact quite disappointing for not having at least an A- for that.
On the other hand, it is quite surprising to have an A. I spent a lot in reading the story and analysing the translation. I got too much to present and I couldn't finish all. Similarly, I got too much to write and I couldn't finish writing all of them despite the consecutive 40 hours non-stop I spent on it. Personally I think (yes.. I still think so now) that I could have done better if I started earlier on my Paper. But probably 'coz I wrote less, I got less mistakes and my Paper reads more concise and precise. :P
Anyway, though I'm not too satisfactory on that, I would post my Paper here for sharing later. ^^ And remember "Brokeback Mountain"? I'll put it on my website to celebrate the relaunch of my Angel Land - Literature Section! Hopefully I could finish it by Lunar New Year... :P
I don't know the mean or average grade for Master, so I just evaluate my result by my own "ruler".
Have to take greater care in choosing subjects in this semester, both practical and useful. But more importantly is my ability in handling that subject.

though knowing that i was not feeling well... i headed for the movie as we booked it already! NANA2 and $$ were more impt. and i guessed i could overcome it... after the movie, felt better with the popcorn... no migraine any more.. sweeties can really help relieving migraine in my case... but my body seemed not to be mine... so went for a 'simple' dinner and went home...
slept really early at around 1030!!!
though slept for 9 hours, i didn't recover at all!!!!!! my stomach and abdomen fought together as well... really couldn't go to work and went to the doctor after getting up... took the medicine and congee and slept again...
slept for about 5 hours, dad came home and had a shower... watched TV with dad for 3 hours and slept again...
totally i've slept for 24 hours!!! but how come i'm still soooooo tired? and... maybe my medicine's working now... yesterday, i just had a congee, 3 mini buns and 1 normal size chinese cake... already got very full... today.... i had 1 mini bun + 1 normal size chinese cake + 1 congee and now started another chinese cake.. :P i have my "hungry" feeling back!!!! but my stomach still appears quite 'full'.... :P

續上篇
(moved from elsewhere)
原來只是 msn 同 space 復原的比較快，其他的還沒好。
每年的年頭總是喜歡回看以前的網誌，總結一下。去年的 internet "disaster" 令我至今不能 update 其他 blogs，有點沮喪，而且很懷念，原來我在 blogger 已經兩年多了，不拘泥於 blog 這個字的話，我成為 "blogger" 已經快六年了，時間過得真的很快！
之前說我要把我的 website 從新粉飾，我打算把所有 archive 都放到新的 site 裡，可行的話我都會盡量保持當時的版面，可幸我都有 backup! ^^
雖然我的 Angel Land 會 relaunched，但這裡會保留喔！
之前跟朋友 email，說到沒有 internet 就像沒靈魂一樣，不能集中精神工作，感覺好恐怖，但有點不能自拔；剛剛回看從前的網誌，看到一篇談迷上、迷戀與沉溺，我們不會已經沉溺在網路世界吧？！
這個有「戒癮所」嗎？

終於可以連線了！！等了很多天，終於可以 login space 了！Yeah!!
這幾天 internet connection 很慢，又不能 login msn 等即時通，在 office 裡工作都像漫無目的的，加上佳節將至，同事們都無心戀戰似的。
假期過了，工作又開始了，internet 也慢慢恢復過來。在沒有 internet connection 這幾天，心好像頓然開竅有所頓悟；雖然我有很多不同「主題」的網誌，雖然我在很多不同的 blog host platform 都有「帳戶」，但 server 同樣不在香港，連線全部不通。雖然最近不太常更新網誌，但一但沒有了 accessibility，就很掛念，我也等不及了，把荒廢到像前世一樣的 website 從新「開啟」，這一次，也 host 在學校的 server 裡，由西貢變成沙田，但 url 依舊在西貢，因為這是 permanent 的，只是由 student 變成 alumni。
也許這是一個契機讓我真的好好去經營一下我的 website 吧！

又無訓四十幾個鐘～
(moved from elsewhere)
從星期四早上七點多醒來到現在星期日晚上十一點，四天中我只睡了十三個小時。
現在把事都忙完了，終於有點累的感覺。
我承認我不應該在那麼"煩"忙的日子裡還追看電視，但實在太吸引了。星期四白天已經有事要忙，班也不能上。晚上想好好寫論文，卻一邊看開着YOU TUBE看電視，一邊開着 WORD 寫論文，導致寫了一個通宵還沒完成。星期五是死線，又要多請一天的假。
路途遙遙的去學校交功課，回來本打算好好睡一覺，但我實在沒辦法對抗電視的引誘，連續看到凌晨。因為躺在床上看，一不小心就睡着呢。當我真的熬不過去時，我已經四十二個小時沒睡，大腦沒休息了。
昨天陪媽媽看醫生後就去弄頭髮，把頭髮弄好後立即回家，一來要照顧媽媽，二來當然為快點把電視完成。:P 很久沒試過了，感覺很好。
但還是日劇比較好看，日劇的鋪排好像比較好，到結局時不會令人感到突兀。看台劇或韓劇，很多時候都有一種「現在已經十八集了，不是二十就結局嗎? 怎麼現在還是『故事發現階段』呢? 一點都不像尾聲，好像還有很長的故事喔!」的感覺，可能是在為「續集」鋪路吧。
還有，差不多一年沒有追看「同步」電視啦，現在在追看 ELLA 的新劇。:P 可惜我的電腦都不能 PPSTREAM，也只好在 YOU TUBE 看「短片」囉。

I'm back again...
Announcement: This site is made open publicly again for my friends.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today I heard a not good news. What means by "not good"? "Bad"? No... I don't want it to be a bad news as it was still "half unknown" but definitely it's not a good news; so I make it a "not good news".
Dunno why... can't help... and can only wait. I hate this feelings but seem that we all have to face it as humans.
Hope for the best and God Bless.
You'll be fine and alright. ^_^

我是香港人~ I'm from HK!
(moved from elsewhere)
《小姐，轉機到台北嗎？》
【一】
北京機場經濟艙地勤人員在櫃台喊：「還有沒有人坐 901 轉機到台北?」
沒回應。
她走下來〈真不明白為什麼櫃台要比地面高一點〉問：「有人要轉機到台北嗎？」
她沒有每個都問，但特地走到某些人旁邊問她們，而大部份都要轉機，只是有些比較趕，有些比較遲。
我排在 vip 的櫃台，那個地勤人員突然走過來問：「小姐，要轉機到台北嗎？」
「不，我到香港，謝謝！」
她還是偰而不捨，「到香港後要去台北嗎？」
「不用，我只去香港。」
沒多久，又有另外的地勤人員在喊：「有人要坐 901 轉機到台北嗎？」
這一次人們沸騰起來，但也沒回應。
再一次有人對我說：「小姐，要轉機到台北嗎
「我去香港的，謝謝！」
【二】
好不容易 check in 了〈因為航班 delayed 了，很麻煩〉就去海關。很多人，很混亂，找到一個看似「龍尾」的東西，碰到兩個本來也坐 901 的台灣跟香港出版商，「你也是坐 901 喔，剛剛在那邊有看到你跟他們說趕時間。」
「對呀！」我回。
「要回台北嗎？在香港轉機。」
「我是香港人喔！」
《小姐，上海人嗎？》
【一】
「你不是北京人喔？」
「不是。」
「上海人嗎？」
「我，香港人。」
【二】
「小姐，你要去第一航廈還是第二？因為南航跟廈航在第一，其他的都在第二。」
「我去香港，該是第二吧！」
「那一定是第二啦，不好意思喔，我一直以為你是南方人，要回上海去。」
"Where did you study?"
- One -
"I heard that people in Hong Kong are bilingual and you are..... But I met a few before, their English is not that good. Still have differences in English and Chinese standards, right?"
"umum.... Yup... 'coz the majority speak Cantonese but have to use English at work and at school..."
"Is it the same for every one? You'll really bilingual, only the accents."
"haha... it's basically the same for the same age 'coz we're brought up in English Medium Schools. We're taught in English in every subjects except Chinese and Chinese History."
"So how about Mandarin?"
"Also a subject but only compulsory up to junior high school."
"You did some German in Uni, right?"
"Yup... and in fact still doing..."
"Oh... I just misunderstand that you don't have lessons now. So did you go abroad for Uni.?"
"Nope... also in HK."
"ok...."
- Two -
"btw... where did you study Uni.?"

《小姐，轉機到台北嗎？》
【一】
北京機場經濟艙地勤人員在櫃台喊：「還有沒有人坐 901 轉機到台北?」
沒回應。
她走下來〈真不明白為什麼櫃台要比地面高一點〉問：「有人要轉機到台北嗎？」
她沒有每個都問，但特地走到某些人旁邊問她們，而大部份都要轉機，只是有些比較趕，有些比較遲。
我排在 vip 的櫃台，那個地勤人員突然走過來問：「小姐，要轉機到台北嗎？」
「不，我到香港，謝謝！」
她還是偰而不捨，「到香港後要去台北嗎？」
「不用，我只去香港。」
沒多久，又有另外的地勤人員在喊：「有人要坐 901 轉機到台北嗎？」
這一次人們沸騰起來，但也沒回應。
再一次有人對我說：「小姐，要轉機到台北嗎
「我去香港的，謝謝！」
【二】
好不容易 check in 了〈因為航班 delayed 了，很麻煩〉就去海關。很多人，很混亂，找到一個看似「龍尾」的東西，碰到兩個本來也坐 901 的台灣跟香港出版商，「你也是坐 901 喔，剛剛在那邊有看到你跟他們說趕時間。」
「對呀！」我回。
「要回台北嗎？在香港轉機。」
「我是香港人喔！」
《小姐，上海人嗎？》
【一】
「你不是北京人喔？」
「不是。」
「上海人嗎？」
「我，香港人。」
【二】
「小姐，你要去第一航廈還是第二？因為南航跟廈航在第一，其他的都在第二。」
「我去香港，該是第二吧！」
「那一定是第二啦，不好意思喔，我一直以為你是南方人，要回上海去。」
"Where did you study?"
- One -
"I heard that people in Hong Kong are bilingual and you are..... But I met a few before, their English is not that good. Still have differences in English and Chinese standards, right?"
"umum.... Yup... 'coz the majority speak Cantonese but have to use English at work and at school..."
"Is it the same for every one? You'll really bilingual, only the accents."
"haha... it's basically the same for the same age 'coz we're brought up in English Medium Schools. We're taught in English in every subjects except Chinese and Chinese History."
"So how about Mandarin?"
"Also a subject but only compulsory up to junior high school."
"You did some German in Uni, right?"
"Yup... and in fact still doing..."
"Oh... I just misunderstand that you don't have lessons now. So did you go abroad for Uni.?"
"Nope... also in HK."
"ok...."
- Two -
"btw... where did you study Uni.?"
"Hong Kong"
"Oh.... still in HK... didn't go abroad?"
"No ^_^"
.......
"So and you? Did any Sports?"
"I used to play Softball at school and quite enjoyed Squash and water sports."
......
"I did some cross-training when I was teaching in Uni. and played Australian football and soccer when younger."

Brokeback Mountain and its Chinese Translation
(moved here)
16/11/2006
As you may remember, I've taken a course about Readings in Translation. No assignments, unless you take the readings as assignment. No test, no midterms but Term Paper. It may sound a bit strange to my 'Engineering' friends 'coz almost all engineering courses involve assignments... i.e. Practical subject that you have to practice!!! For Arts subject, I found it quite popular for master level courses. Anyway, not going to talk about this.
My Paper is now on Cicada by Mr. Lin Huai-min but my first choice was originally Brokeback Mountain. I didn't work on it finally 'coz I really don't like the Chinese version from the first few lines and I don't want to have a Paper with "bias".
My classmate presented her Paper on Brokeback Mountain last night and she showed a clip of the movie too! It was soooooo nice! :D Her points are great too... detailed but personally I won't do it that way. I'm not sure if she deliberately miss out the most important feature of the language used in Brokeback Mountain (and in fact the whole Wyomin stories) but I would definitely work on it if I would have done this! ^_^ It is about the "Wyomin" accents! You could never see the word "of" appears inside the dialouges; you could only see a single letter "a". The single letter "a" appears almost every single sentence inside the dialogue replacing words like "of" "out" "an" and etc. This is an attempt to immitate the Wyoming accents. (though it's quite obvious but it is also from an interview from Annie Proulx) So how this "cowboy" (= lower class) accents be translated to Chinese?
Related to the "colloquial" languages, the "cowboy" and the "homo" imply a very strong "US culture" and it is extraordinary trivial that homo associated with cowboy is a sign of discrimination. So how these can be reflected in Chinese?
These are what I would very much like to hear from my dear classmate but I didn't have the answers last night. Rather, she made a very detailed study on the degress of translation like "over" or "under" in terms of mainly "tone" and "style". She quoted one example that I couldn't agree anymore!!!!
"You're too much for me, Ennis, you son of a whoreson bitch. I wish I knew how to quit you."
** my note: see? how beautiful the language is! my classmate said she thought it was the most beautiful part / sentence in the whole story! ** my note: Agree! Not only the language but also the tone and the way Annie put it into a sentence. And it is sooooo "visible" to the reader. A simple sentence like that "phrases" Jack's character soooooo much! So it should be a very difficult task to translate this into Chinese and the translator did a very bad job. My classmate said she thought it was the most badly translated part!!!!!!
「你對我太重要了，恩尼司，你這個賤貨婊子養大的雜種。要是我知道怎樣戒掉你就好了。」
天喔！怎麼會是"戒掉"!!! 人家 "quit you" 是很有意境的！人們說「quit smoking」是戒煙，重點不是放在"戒"而是"為甚麼要戒?"，因為"addicted to it" 所以要"戒"所以是"quit"。這裡是對人說"quit you"，引申的意義是"addicted to you (so much) that I could not control myself anymore"，所以 Jack 說"I wish I knew how to quit you"，句式是"I wish + past tense (knew)"，所以我們知道是"不可能"發生的！所以中譯的「要是我知道怎樣戒掉你就好了」是錯(應該說是不完全正確)的演繹。雖然在漢語中這一句也帶有「我現在不知道，希望以前就知道」的意思，但它沒有完全否定以後是否知道，在某一些場景它也可以理解為"對明天抱有一絲希望"。但在英文中"I wish + past tense (knew)"的句式是用來表達「完全不可能 0%」的場景，e.g. 最經典的例子是"I wish I were a bird"！ Jack 的意思不是說"要是我知道就好了"而是"我沒可能把你戒掉"。但「戒掉」一詞還是很"不搭調"。他的意思是「他完全迷溺於對 Ennis 的感情，無法自跋」意境是超級漂亮的！ 中譯本把那個情調、 那個意境通通殺掉！說情調，"You're too much for me" 是非常棒的一句，但中文的「你對我太重要了」完全不對。英文中的"You're too much for me"，"too much" implies "I can't stand it anymore"，有「我不能承受」之意 (在這裡它更有"我再不能承受了"之意)，跟「你對我太重要了」相差甚遠。還有那句"whoreson bitch"也是非常過份的翻譯。雖然 cowboy 是 lower class，用詞比較粗鄙，但你會對着你愛的人說「你這個賤貨婊子養大的雜種」嗎? 恐怕這個在華語系社會中都不太能說通吧！
That's why my classmate said it was "太過份了". True... if you love the original Brokeback Mountain, especially appreciate the language of the story, you would definitely have the same response as we did. (yup... my "comment" is also "太過份了")
Just to share with you guys an example... I may study it in greater details later after I've finished my own Papers... and may be posting some of my ideas.

Tokyo Juliet
(moved from elsewhere)
Tokyo Juliet - the only one in 2006 drove me crazy! Not yet 24 hours but I've been watching from probably 4 or 5 pm to 9:30 am the next morning!
Great Show! :P
The next one I'm waiting is the one by Ella; another Japanese comic adapted drama! ^_^

誤打誤撞的 mocha~
(moved from elsewhere)
15/11/06
We have Blue Mountain and Nescafe Gold Instant in office. Every morning, our MD will make the coffee by himself and share with us (meaning leave the whole pot in the pantry). Usually the colleagues will pour in either the whole or skimmed milk in fridge instead of using cream powder or liquid cream.
This morning, I bought a chocolate milk back to the office without any reasons 'coz usu. I would have bought a soya milk (at most it's the malted one). After having a few sips, I went to the pantry for some water. Then suddenly I thought of Mocha.
"umum... usu. we pour 'white' milk and it tastes like Latte ['coz I really pour half-half!!! :P], today I have chocolate milk ar... then it would be mocha!!! Let's try!!!!" I thought.
Then I poured half cup of coffee from the machine and filled my bottle with warm water and left the pantry for my delicious chocolate milk!! I poured the chocolate milk into the coffee to fill up the half cup. ooooooohhhhhh.... it really tastes like Mocha! God! I've made my own! haha~ never thought of it! (hey... it's in fact on of the easiest thing in World woh...) yup... it's simple but i've never done that and sorry...... i've never thought of it... i always think that Mocah has some magic behind! I now understand... both Latte and Mocha... the magic is good coffee (blue mountain in fact quite fit into it but sometimes ppl may think a waste of not hving black blue mountain) and..... very importantly... WHOLE milk!!!!
Trust me, WHOLE milk will make the whole thing FULL and taste right! Let's sacrifice other fatty food for this if u love Latte / Mocha! ^_^

Backup and Recovery
(moved from elsewhere)
14/11/2006
Finally I decided to format my computer and done most of the backup on Monday night. It was quite surprised to realize how many Photos we have (both Steve and I... 'coz we shared the computer for a while since his broken and he hadn't bought a new one before Uni.)
Unfortunately I dun have a card reader and my DC is out of battery... my 2GB memory card did no contribution to my backup. I've used up all kinds of memory devices I could have in hand (and on the net)... Memory Stick, school FTP sites, my website's FTP site... and grateful to the Webshots... ^_^ but still... as the uploading speed is not too fast, i couldn't got to bed at 2 am!!!
Very happy to receive my "early" Christmas Gift from Tim, a 160 GB external harddisk! I could use it for backup la!!!
umum... but this Christmas Gift seems to be a bit "technical"... haha~ let's still go for a fine dinner!

My 1st Birthday Party this year...
Thanks for "organizing" the "party" for me...
今年第一個慶生的party是一個 surprise~
我想其實那只是湊巧，不過也非常謝謝你！
我很喜歡這裡，但這裡沒有跟 IM 連上，比較"不好 promote" :p
也因為這樣，會來的都是老朋友，我會繼續在這裡記錄，為他們，也為我自己，因為這是我的成長印記。
但我不會再 "promote" 這裡了，如此一來這裡的讀者跟我有更深的感情，更多的默契，許多事都不需要過多的解說。
讀者們: 默契是培養出來的，我相信我們之間有的，所以你會懂我在說甚麼，也該知道我當下的心情吧！

Busy weeks...
(moved from elsewhere)
Busy Busy and Busy... been busy for a while, both work and study... even didn't do the German assignment!!! am still thinking of quitting it but I really don't want to waste what I've learnt... for learning languages, if you don't keep on, you just lose it... I know it too well after the 3 years' so-called English training... for Japanese lucky that we hv many TV dramas and movies to watch!
For the translation courses, I've finished the Paper Abstract for my Core Course and already got the grade back. Satisfactory result but I'm now worrying if I could do what my Prof. expected. I'm not worried about the analysis provided that I hv enough time. My biggest problem and concern encountered to date towards my study is the Super Lack of Time! And for the elective course, I'm even having my Paper Presentation next week! I guess it would cover 2 to 3 out of 5 aspects that I would like to focus in the Paper and for each aspects, 1/3 of examples will be presented. My Paper has not a single letter yet... but all ideas are in my mind! I think it should be okay. Unless the Xerox works!!!!
Really damn it! I've to choose 10 papges from the original and find out corresponding translation. I would be an easier task if I'm doing Novels. I just extract half of a chapter will do... but mine is a Short / "Medium" Story which is about 200 pages as a whole without any chapters! How could I extract 10 "representative" pages from it? It's a hard task. Anyway, finally I've extracted 15 pages from the original and 13 from the translation. Hope that's acceptable! :P
Also very busy with the Trip planning! At last finished all bookings! the Eurostar and the Accomodations! Details about metro / travel card is done too! what's left behind is a detailed planned routes for the 4 days in Paris!! With a wish to enjoy more a Parisien life, we sacrifice Barcelona. Lovely Barcelona, let's see next time! ^_^
Will head for a Seminar / Training in Beijing in end Nov for 2 days... nice trip... hope so.. :P
Originally got online to share my study experience esp. the progress of my Papers and a few current affair issues but now...... :P got distracted by...... probably myself!
After the Europe Trip, next stop will be Japan of 80% sure unless $$.... Taiwan, Singapore, Shanghai, Thailand etc. are not counted as these are like the Resort! For refreshing and relaxing oneself! But Europe, Japan, South America, Middle Asia etc. are for excursion AND shopping! haha~
It's already 2 now... got to sleep or I'll be late again!
P.S. Just found (not really just... already half a month ago) a few interesting Blogs to share with you..... still not asked the 'blogger' for his / her permission so can't disclose yet... Check out later... really intersesting TO ME.... Note that it's TO ME! (If you know me well, you'll know if these blogs are of your interest without seeing them!)

Recent Life
Been busy with schools... readings and papers... bunches of readings waiting for me!!! :P And my German and Japanese homeworks... many 'workbook exercises' and writing exercises for my German, also Presentation to prepared!!! For my Japanese, actually I've suspended my class for about a month and now starting it again! So have to catch up with others in class and thus many Grammar book readings!
So not surprisingly not much time for me to manage my blogs. However as I'll been writing busy writing during my courseworks, I try to post some articles to share with you my research progress.
Here's my another blog entry a few days ago, re-posted here:
School already started on 4th September. Busy working and busy studying.
Many reading materials and two Term Papers to finish.
Originally I was taking Introduction to P/E Interpreting; but after one lecture, I talked to my teacher and she suggested that the course next term might be more relevant for me. After obtaining her 'permission' to sit-in sort of 'officially' -- to practise short memory under pressure and Putonghua according to my teacher, I dropped the course and added my 2nd choice: Readings in Translated Works.
It's very interesting to read the literary pieces in both Chinese and English; and to analyse them from the 'translation' point of view. It's different from what I had experienced before when doing the Humanities courses. We were told a bit about the background but not that much; we were not analysing the pieces according to the cultures or politics at that time, rather we were examining the differences in style or language usage in the translated works. How the translated works miss out important message of the piece by altering the style or use of words? This is what I learnt from last lecture. I understand I have to read through the readings and to find out more 'differences' or 'similarities' among the two, but I do not have time yet. :( Probably, I'll try finishing it by this week. Tomorrow I'm having the class again, and this time even more interesting: Sex and the City.
BUT what's more important: I still haven't decided a book for my Term Paper!!!!! >O< Lucky is that I am not required to hand in any Abstract or Outline beforehand.
For my core course, I've already decided my research topic and discussed with my Professor. It falls into neither one of the 'big topics' suggested by the Prof. so I wondered if it's irrelevant to my course before talking to my Prof.!! However, after talking to my Prof., I wondered if it was a bit easy or too simple for a Master Paper as he said, 'It's simple, you know how to do it'. Luckily, after clarification, I know that no scholars had carried out similar research (ooo... God! Then how can I do the critical review?), or better say no scholars had analysed the pieces from that perpective. I asked if I should change to another Topic, like those Empirical field research, but my Prof. sort of encouraged me to carry on saying that the topic's interesting and meaningful (only if I could manage to do it and really have done it "well"). So... my topic's decided and I've been writing my Abstract! Hope that I could really manage it!
BTW, don't know if I talked to my Prof. in Putonghua or I talked about Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway and 白先勇, he first asked if I was taking Literature before, when he knew that I was from EE, he was sort of shocking, I could tell. When he knew that I was from 'UST', he first asked which 'UST' wondering if it's one of those in China or Taiwan (In fact I couldn't hear the name of places he said, I just guess what he's thinking 'coz when I said HK, he said, "o.. is HK?")? When he knew that it was HKUST, he still asked if I was brought up in HK?
Personally I would be more grateful if it's 'coz my Perspectives than of my Putonghua. :P
So not surprisingly not much time for me to manage my blogs. However as I'll been writing busy writing during my courseworks, I try to post some articles to share with you my research progress.
Here's my another blog entry a few days ago, re-posted here:
School already started on 4th September. Busy working and busy studying.
Many reading materials and two Term Papers to finish.
Originally I was taking Introduction to P/E Interpreting; but after one lecture, I talked to my teacher and she suggested that the course next term might be more relevant for me. After obtaining her 'permission' to sit-in sort of 'officially' -- to practise short memory under pressure and Putonghua according to my teacher, I dropped the course and added my 2nd choice: Readings in Translated Works.
It's very interesting to read the literary pieces in both Chinese and English; and to analyse them from the 'translation' point of view. It's different from what I had experienced before when doing the Humanities courses. We were told a bit about the background but not that much; we were not analysing the pieces according to the cultures or politics at that time, rather we were examining the differences in style or language usage in the translated works. How the translated works miss out important message of the piece by altering the style or use of words? This is what I learnt from last lecture. I understand I have to read through the readings and to find out more 'differences' or 'similarities' among the two, but I do not have time yet. :( Probably, I'll try finishing it by this week. Tomorrow I'm having the class again, and this time even more interesting: Sex and the City.
BUT what's more important: I still haven't decided a book for my Term Paper!!!!! >O< Lucky is that I am not required to hand in any Abstract or Outline beforehand.
For my core course, I've already decided my research topic and discussed with my Professor. It falls into neither one of the 'big topics' suggested by the Prof. so I wondered if it's irrelevant to my course before talking to my Prof.!! However, after talking to my Prof., I wondered if it was a bit easy or too simple for a Master Paper as he said, 'It's simple, you know how to do it'. Luckily, after clarification, I know that no scholars had carried out similar research (ooo... God! Then how can I do the critical review?), or better say no scholars had analysed the pieces from that perpective. I asked if I should change to another Topic, like those Empirical field research, but my Prof. sort of encouraged me to carry on saying that the topic's interesting and meaningful (only if I could manage to do it and really have done it "well"). So... my topic's decided and I've been writing my Abstract! Hope that I could really manage it!

28 August 2006
Yet another month haven't written something here, got many to say but too little time for me to write.
Am now working in the office, busy but bored. Need some refreshment I know but I still haven't done anything :P
Many tasks waiting me to finish, many reports to write and many to check, but my brain's not working at all! Damn…
Anyway, I'm not going to write anymore on this boring topic. Let's talk about how I try to refresh myself.
I'm setting off for Europe right after my birthday in October! Though I've booked and paid for the return ticket to London, I haven't decided other destinations! I guess I would definitely go to Paris as the Eurostar only takes up around 4 hours (incl. all traveling time and time difference) I would very much like to go to Barcelona too… despite the tight schedule that it may not be ‘workable’. Umum… better faster decided which sightseeing spots and/or museums to visit and what outlets, stores and/or other attractions to go!!!! :D Luckily Vicky had suggested me a lot of attractions in London and Paris and she promised to stay at home the weekend I'm there being my host!!! Sweet Vicky! And so do Maggie and Libbie! Great cousins!
Besides going out of town, I watched 2 Japanese movies recently! Great… to me… 'coz it helps me refresh myself. I read 2 volumes of Death Note in Taiwan before but never finished the whole series. Frankly, I didn't have a ‘high intention’ to watch it at the 1st place; simply 'coz I really wanna watch a movie, then go for it. At least, the movie had Tatsuya Fujiwara! Well… the movie's ok, not exceptionally good but definitely not bad. A bit disappointed is Tatsuya, maybe I have a very high expectation on him. My impression is not sharp enough and didn't appear smart enough. He could be better I do believe. So waiting for the Finale (is it?) in November!

Unchanged vs Eternity
變是為了不變嗎?
不變又是為了不變嗎?
如果變真的是為了不變，那要坦白面對變嗎?
路走到了岔口，要怎麼辦?
左右有對錯嗎? 可以向前嗎?
老師說~ 天地萬物殊途同歸，我真心希望他沒有騙小孩~
但老師確實是個怪人，他要退休了，alumni newsletter 有一些訪問，他教授另類求職秘笈:
gender? undefined!
expected salary? infinity!
name? rejected!
address? meaningless!
最後是他瀟灑的寄語我們:
人生幾何，
何必學幾何；
學了幾何又如何，
不學幾何奈我何。
p.s. 他是我尊敬的數學老師~ 但他的物理造詣也同樣精湛非凡！

雜談
昨天午後如常的聽着電台節目，卻讓我聽到有點不一樣的話題。阿芝談及「寫故仔」，她提供了一些她個人的寫作方法，很有趣。他們說，身邊常常出現一些人或一些朋友把「我要當作家」掛在口邊，但沒有一個認真確實的寫起來，有故事構想但不懂如何下筆的人也有。是的，總是有很多這樣的人，但我應該慶幸我身邊一個這樣的人也沒有，勉強說一個應該是我自己。我是很會躲懶的人，這要感謝爸媽賜我比較靈敏的頭腦，做起事來事半功倍，也就多了很多「工餘」時間，但懶惰的我卻沒有好好把握這多出來的時間好好寫作，日記網誌我寫的尚算很多，影評碟評也有，但真正的創作卻丟空已久，創作的感覺幾乎也忘了。
我身邊出現的多是言出必行的實幹派，不久前看過「小妹」的自傳。從來沒有想過寫作堂外的她會寫作，會把自己的故事寫出來。這令我記起了很多年前的一個想法，想把「美心事件」的始末寫成一個少女成長的故事。當時我想這樣的一個故事應該會很受歡迎，因為女生有共鳴，男生又想藉此多些了解女生事。多年後的今天已經有無數多的人把自己的回憶寫成故事，兼成暢銷書籍，我沒有要步後塵的念頭，因為我不喜歡追逐羊群，我要的是原創意念。
我很欽佩那些真心要當作家，要當作曲家，要當創作人的人，他們都有一顆赤字之心，對創作都有着最單純的熱情澎湃。我喜歡寫作，我喜歡音樂，我喜歡設計，但我沒有勇氣去尋找這樣的一個理想。對音樂，在我會考選科不能選音樂以後，我明白我的家人不喜歡我「只做」音樂；對寫作，大學選科的時候，我有把英文中文系填進去的衝動，但終究令我更明瞭我家人不太能面對這樣的女兒。我的父母不能稱之為古老石山，只是他們經歷的太多，銳意開拓一條平坦大路給我們，如是也直到現在。一個非常有自我主見，又非常重視自我感覺的乖女兒能如何按照父母給我的路標走出我自己的世界來呢 ? 我把我一生都附在建築系上。到現在我也不知道有多少人能聽出我口中的「不太想唸，只為爸爸」的借口。我是一心要進建築系，但我想做的不是建築師而是室內設計師，這爸爸是知道的而且高興的！我很認真的應考了港大建築系的入學筆試，據我所知當年有近三百五十多人應考而他們只會選出一百二十位參加面試。很順利地我被邀請參加面試，更順利地他們初步取錄了我，給了我一個「很簡單」的高考成績條件。「很簡單」的程度是連那個通知我的人也說：「恭喜你！經過面試以後，我們覺得你很適合進入我們學系，也看過你會考成績，只是循例告訴你一個高考成績要求，只要 xxxxxx，你把我們填在第一個選擇就 ok 了。」對設計，就在我高考放榜當天一切都沒有了，沒有了其實還有我的人生！
現在的我是一個坐在辦公室工作，偶爾要出差到工地去的工程師，工餘時間學瑜伽、學德文和學日文，工作枯燥得要命。為了我的所謂人生，我嘗試在那條堆砌出來的大直路拐彎，試了兩年多，終於幾天前我交出了兩份「文學碩士」的申請表。
昨天重提了久封的畫筆，亂畫了一幅速寫，只是 sketches，還好吧！
今天我要開始回想我的「美心事件」，這是一件非常戲劇化的真人真事，幾個月前我才知道原來這個故事很不一樣，我們都是有創意的人，根本每天都在演我們心中的一齣肥皂戲。寫成故事應該會很好看的。

中華巴士
其實點解呢期會諗番起以前 d o野? 因為年頭囉！哈哈！本來我想寫「2005 我的十大 2006 展望」，咁我就看番前幾年o既 diary backup，哈，好好看~ :P 終於明白媽咪點解細細個要我地寫 diary，仲要用靚靚 diary 寫，收得好好咁，原來真係好有意思架！
(插一下離題o野: 看下看下就覺得呢幾年過得好快，明明就好似岩岩入 uni 咁，我今日返 ust 時好多 soc polling，有好多人問我「你係咪 marketing soc 呀? 今日 polling 喎！」好熟悉，唔覺得有咩大改變，但原來距我離開呢度都成兩年幾，嘩！)
但其實我係想寫...... 中華巴士！除左因為年頭看番好多以前既o野，仲因為呢排見到「中華巴士」現身北角！！！見到藍色車身，勁興奮，第一次見番既，雖然係佢既背影，但以我同佢朝夕相處左咁多年，我梗係一個眼尾就認出啦！我第一時間同媽咪講: 「嘩！中巴呀！」但原來媽咪看唔到，仲話:「你眼花呀? 新巴左好多年架啦喎！」嗯，可能真係我看錯啦！
幾個禮拜後，我已經唔記得左呢件事，學完瑜伽同媽咪搭巴士返落炮台山飲茶既時候，我好清楚咁再一次看到「中巴現身」，今次媽咪都看到！我地既新巴係佢隔離，所以看得好清楚係「中華巴士訓練車」！我一見到就接近「嗌」既程度同媽咪講：「喂！真係中巴呀！我無眼花架！」係我地好疑惑，唔知點解仲會有「中巴」既時候，我聽到有個小朋友細細聲同佢媽咪講：「香港無中巴架！大陸先有架！香港得巴士同小巴！」我既反應唔知係咪大左 d 呢? 連小朋友都以為我唔識o野~ 不過，well, 因為佢講得細細聲，我扮聽唔到，但佢媽咪竟然無同佢講中巴係以前行駛香港既巴士公司！佢地係港運城落車，我諗佢地一定唔知港運城係中巴車廠。唉~~~
仲有呢? 我有一日去看「冷」，諗住看下有咩靚o野，織下頸巾，行去馬寶道既時候，發現北角村附近既政府宿舍已經拆左！！！入去冷舖，左看看右看看，阿婆問「要咩冷呀？交功課呀？定自己用呀？」哈~ 唔知係咪以為我仲讀緊中學呢？
仲有好多架? 例如，早排唱 k，竟然講番「火熱動感 la la la」，何解? 唔知呢~

九十年代
喂！比個作文題目你地呀，「九十年代」~ 你會諗起 d 乜呀?
之前講過，呢排好多 web 看，好多故仔看。好老土，但真係勾番起好多美好回憶。~ 此為我的 90's 之一!
再之前講過，開始覺得自己有 d 「老人癡呆」，驚自己唔記得晒 d 人同事，已經開始着手寫「My Friends」。今次多左好多我地相處既片段，好正喎！~ 此為我的 90's 之二!
我今日先發現原來 now.com.hk 有商台重溫架！咁就重新聽過「八王子」，之前只係斷斷續續咁係做 facial 既時候聽過。(因為做 facial o個度係 basement，唔係成日都聽到 cr2) 至從少爺占組左 I love U Boy'z 之後，我就無聽少爺占好耐。
當早排發現「王貽興」原來唔係我上堂讀o個個作家後 (詳見另 post)，我就看左佢話希望係唯一一本既散文集，跟住就係其他既小說。所以... 好有興趣看「少爺占 + 王貽興」既八王子。
嘩！正到爆！果然，我已經二十幾歲。(不過呢，其實有 d 我都唔熟悉既，因為始終三年一代溝嘛~ 哈哈) 再加上我住東區，雖然中學跨左區去中西區返學，但「港島區」既一切，實在是熟悉不過。
========================
(後續)
尋晚一連聽左五集，聽到兩點幾，想繼續聽，但因為今朝要返工，唯有今日再聽。
今日聽第六集，大 wok!!! at least 有以下既o野我好想講:
1. 梁漢文「好朋友」-- 嘩！我一直以為首歌只係幾年前，原來十年都黎緊啦！
2. auntie -- 一直以黎，我都係以「auntie」稱呼同學仔既媽咪，一直都唔知原來仲有其他稱呼。小學既時候，去左九龍城阿姨屋企，係街度撞到表姐既同學，佢竟然叫我阿姨做「劉太」！！嘩！我已經覺得好奇怪！但之後有日有人對我媽咪講「伯母」，我毛管凍晒！！唔係呀話，宜家九十年代啦喎，仲叫「伯母」??? 點知升左 uni 之後發現，原來仲有好多人叫「世伯」同「伯母」，當時個心真係有 d 「有無搞錯呀」！所以頭先聽，聽到叫人地媽咪做 auntie 就好開心，嗯，就當佢係「港島文化」啦~ :p
3. 彩虹戰隊 -- 呢集講到 homo，我諗應該係講 Rainbow 彩虹團體。記唔記得當年有個中五定中六既男學生同一班 rainbow 成員去左一間男校門口派 rainbow 既刊物，仲上晒新聞同報紙添！幾年後既 AL 英文作文我都有寫過呢個 example。
4. 趙學而「尋開心」-- 呢首歌好正，我記得當年抄歌詞係 schedule 到，annka 仲寫左幾首 lyrics 比我添，o個期好興趙學而，除左「尋開心」仲有「我恨我是女人」。
5. 同埋呢~ 之前講左好多有關咩「幸運星」呀、手繩呀咁，好正！
==================
(再後續)
今晚同 kakin 食飯既時候講開，呢排搵左 d friends 問「比你 choose，90's 既 icon 係咪?」，竟然有人話「孖條」，我係「o」晒嘴~ 點知 kakin 仲令我...... well loh~
跟住同 kakin 講左好多宜家同舊時既o野，講到 internet 既發展係咪好呢? 宜家 d 人唔識同人溝通，淨係 thru' internet 同人用文字"講o野"，我記得聽過有人話就黎 d 人會啞架啦~ 封閉自我，打機都唔晒同人 interact！唉~~~
點知呢今晚繼續聽八王子既時候，就到講呢個 topic 既 episode 喎~ 哈哈~
雖然 kakin 無回應我既「言論」，但聽到就覺得，其實好多人都同我有同樣既想法，即係好似我細佬之前做功課，都有類似言論。我想遲 d 再仔細一 d 講下我既看法。:P
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
P.S. o個日係 mk 佢地問我: 你 d friends = 商台架? well~ 我o個日話咁o岩jer，但宜家想想下，可能我地係聽商台大囉~ 同埋呢，我覺得商台同我地接近 d~
之前講過，呢排好多 web 看，好多故仔看。好老土，但真係勾番起好多美好回憶。~ 此為我的 90's 之一!

看別人的 web~
是的，是 web~ 不是 blog~
剛剛跟我"妹" msn 時，講到我的生活。是的，我每天的生活 = msn / blogging (指係呢度同係 y! 寫 entries) / reading others' xanga or blogs or online diaries / to kaman's newsgroup, 基本上就是這樣了。我每天都會 check emails，check 了 emails 才到自己的 forum 去。驟眼看來我的生活真的很枯燥。枯燥到上網也不知可到那裡去流連。msn 其實不太多人同我 chat，我 online 時我 contact list 上的人不是 busy 就是 away。所以 bes 話: 你癡線架?! 我一 update 完你就 leave 左 message 啦~ 是的，最近的我都有點癡線，就像昨天跟丹丹的 msn，癡癡的，不太長但很 warm 很開心。
不用上班的日子是進修時間，星期一、二跟六要上課，其餘也要溫書和到小妹妹家裡當廉價 part time。練琴的時間少之又少，本想重新黎過，起碼要為遲下重執教鞭準備下嘛，但都無時間。
呢排多左好多 web 要看，好奇怪? 又有 story 看~ 哈~
今日o岩o岩 finish 左金魚個 web，看左佢寫既自傳，幾好看喎，繼續啦~
不過呢，我發現左‧‧‧‧‧‧
1) 咩原來o個次入廠係做檢查咩? 我一直都以為係 operation 喎~
2) 咁呢次檢查係咪訓住讀 geo. o個次呢?
3) 嘩~ 原來細細個就咁搵錢?
我想，每個人每個階段都會認識唔同既人有唔同既經歷，咁如果有一個人，我由佢好細個到佢宜家咁大既事都知少少，佢自傳既事我都知道(少少都 ok)，咁都算係一件非常幸福既事，俗語話: 得一知己死而無憾嘛~ ^_^

終於寫下了一些~
(moved from elsewhere)
寫了一點~ 在 Y! link: http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/candy-art
力不從心? 力有不遞?
在 Y! 裡看到很多人的媽媽也成為 blogger 了，說感覺很奇怪，有人說不要媽媽來看，怕媽媽以為子女「精神分裂」，也有人覺得媽媽變了另外一個人似的。
我想，這就是真正 e 世代的開始，不同輩份的人也在網路上溝通起來。

貧者越貧, 富者越富
[編後按: 前言 from elsewhere -
本來是想回應一下 pinky 的 diary，貧富論，卻變成我的 shopping checklist :P
我想我是有一點，一點而已的 shopaholic! :P]
頭先係 pinky 既 online diary 看到有段 quote，其中寫道: 「如果我有那麼多的一佰萬作投資,我會還沒有買一部plasma給自己嗎?」(前面講緊做個過左一百萬既投資計劃送 plasma) 我個人覺得這句的 logic 有點問題，我有很多百萬去投資不代表我一定要買一部 plasma 給我自己，我就是愛看 29" ，不行嗎? 還有，我就是有很多百萬但我家住很小的 apartment，不行嗎?
(離題一下: 關於 plasma，我家有一個疑問遲遲沒有解決~ 爸爸打算買新電視機，看過一些 plasma 和 lcd 電視，但沒有定案。一天跟弟弟說，他很大反應的問:「那吃飯的時候就看不到電視囉！」是的，這是我家想解決的問題。現在我家的電視有一個特制的轉盤承托着，吃飯的時候可以把它轉成 perpendicular to the wall，parallel to our dining table，還可推出推入；變成了「貼牆電視」後該怎麼辦?)
我覺得看「電視」的話，不需要 plasma 吧，LCD 電視就很好。看「戲」的話，當然是戲院好，要是想作家庭影院，也該選 projector 吧！我虎視耽耽了 LCD 電視很久，想把一部 21" 的放進房裡，看 dvd，當 pc mon，很好！
另外有說[Hermes birkin 最貴的要四萬蚊一個, 美金喎...]，這應該是普通版的，不同價錢是不同皮料不同顏色。貴係貴在人手做架，所以要訂又要等幾年。特別版用特別的皮做的，加上一些特別的 accessories 和可觀的顏色是可以過一百萬元港幣的。
但講真呢，我就鍾意 kelly bag 多 d 喎。話說回來，我其實都係一個 hermes fan! 哈哈~ hermes 的 quality 真的很好的！之前已經好想買本 organizer 同銀包，但因為 organizer 實在無乜機會用，放棄左啦！銀包呢？之前看唔岩，覺得 d 款好老~ 前年就想買個 Fourre-tout 帆布手挽袋返工，但靚女同 steve 都話帆布唔係咁好喎，所以改買 gucci 既全黑皮啦 (基本上無人知係 gucci 架，so far 咁耐得呀強一個問過我: gucci 呀?)
舊年呢，就癡左線，我差 d 買左個價值五千幾但乜都放唔落既 her bag 喎，因為呢，我o個期好鍾意「袋仔」！但呢，我留左電話比個 sales 姐姐，話有白色就 call 我啦，個 sales 姐姐肯定係 look upon on me，所以無 call 我，而我又好 angry，所以之後就無入過去任何一間 hermes 啦！但我又念念不忘喎，宜家最想要既，太多啦~ Fourre-tout 手挽袋同 garden party 係首選~ 岩我 feel d~
講開又講，上幾個 weeks 去 pp，見到 bv 有個新既白色袋，唔識 describe，唔係方又唔係圓，望個陣覺得好女人，入 bv 都只係想搵伯娘個袋比 kakin 看，點知個 sales 好好人咁 sell 我喎，又話好岩我 feel，好 young? (咁假既? 岩我? 唔係呀 fa? young? 我覺得好女人喎!) 但試過之後，哈哈，原來都真係幾 young 喎，幾型架！ 但 bv 出品喎，個 $$ 當然仲型啦，小的比 A4 (定 F4 呢? 唔記得啦) 小一點，盛惠 HKD$13,500，不過我好似可以 get 到 30% off (未經證實，只係有人係咁問我買唔買，話佢間 bank / firm 有張比 vip 更勁既 card 可以 30% off，我仲未問清楚 details，識太多 banking 人啦！唔係 aussie 就係 canada 返黎，都未分得清。不過看一看頭先 pinky 個 diary，可能係 d 咩 prestige banking 喎，點解呀靚女唔識用呢 d benefits 既?)，雖則呢個 $$ 好 reasonable for bv，但嚇親左 kakin，佢以為自己聽錯左，哈~
早幾日係屋企發現 bv 既 paper bag！！！我諗應該唔係靚女既，無理由我唔知，一定係 steve 既，但買左咩呢? 我呢? 就只係有 d 想要條電話繩 jer~ :P
今年有幾個 shopping 目標，想買一個別緻但唔老土又有氣質既 pouch。想換一下衣櫃裡的衫。想買番對好似以前對 camper 咁可以去行山既 pumps。想買多個可以替換既返工袋。等 steve 九月之後再定既電腦跟其他 accessories。
今個月想搞"店"既必需品: cdr。手提電話。foundation。present。optional 既: 電話繩。headphone。
夏天前搞"店"既: 七月份穿的晚裝。翻新我間房所需物品。
我想，差不多了。
但我離題了。

朋友
係 bes 個 xanga 到看到：『
這是什麼歌什麼詞......? 中到極點了...... ＞＜
最佳損友 陳奕迅
曲：Eric Kwok 詞：黃偉文
朋友 我當你一秒朋友 朋友 我當你一世朋友
奇怪 過去再不堪回首 懷緬 時時其實還有
朋友 你試過將我營救 朋友 你試過把我批鬥
無法 再與你交心聯手 畢竟難得有過最佳損友
從前共你 促膝把酒傾通宵都不夠 我有痛快過你有沒有
很多東西今生只可給你 保守至到永久 別人如何明白透
實實在在踏入過我宇宙 即使相處到 有個裂口
命運決定了 以後再沒法聚頭 但說過去 卻那樣厚
* 問我有沒有 確實也沒有 一直躲避的藉口 非甚麼大仇
為何舊知己 在最後 變不到老友
不知你是我敵友 已沒法望透 被推著走 跟著生活流
來年陌生的 是昨日 最親的某某
生死之交當天不知罕有 到你變節了 至覺未夠
多想一天彼此都不追究 相邀再次喝酒 待葡萄成熟透
但是命運入面每個邂逅 一起走到了 某個路口
是敵與是友 各自也沒有自由 位置變了 各有隊友
REPEAT *
早知解散後 各自有 際遇作導遊
奇就奇在接受了 各自有路走
卻沒人像你讓我 眼淚背著流
嚴重似情侶 講分手
有沒有 確實也沒有 一直躲避的藉口 非甚麼大仇
為何舊知己 在最後 變不到老友
不知你又有沒有 掛念這舊友 或者自己 早就想通透
來年陌生的 是昨日 最親的某某
總好於那日我沒有 沒有 遇過某某 』
well~ 我只想說，真的，不知是甚麼詞！聽的時候最刺耳是‧‧‧「來年陌生的 是昨日 最親的某某」、「有沒有 確實也沒有 一直躲避的藉口 非甚麼大仇」和「嚴重似情侶 講分手」，但原來整首歌都這樣中 point!

走火入魔 vs 懶練功
講多樣野先~
今日上 yoga，師傅講到「走火入魔」。佢話有個師奶同佢講:「miss 呀~ 我老公問我點解呢排我唔鬧佢喎！」師傅回應佢道：「係呀！因為你做 yoga 做得幾好，個人 relaxed 左，平心靜氣左，d 火都收晒囉，恭喜你喎，記住繼續努力啦！」師傅話我地呢一派系既 yoga 係 emphasize on "relaxation" 同個人既「修養」(係呀~ 我去過個 official site 啦，佢地 d trainning course，其中一部分既 trainning 係打掃地方!!!!! 同幫助別人!!!!!)，做 yoga 呢，唔晒要「口力」，我地要既係 relaxed，個人 relaxed 左先可以入靜，再而去到其他 meditation or 修道既境界，所以呢，練 yoga 練得好係平心靜氣既，無火既。佢有好好既 explanation 架，透過練 yoga，慢慢將緊張既情緒控制，將體內撞黎撞去既氣調和，d 氣可以好流暢咁係身體裡面流動 (當然唔可以反方向啦)，所以呢，個人調息好就唔會有氣「谷」住，無氣「谷」住就無火架啦！師傅話「火」= 氣唔通，「谷」住晒喎~ 佢比左個 example (雖則我覺得有 d 唔 applicable on myself)，話個人胃痛痛得好緊要o個陣就會無心機，仲會好燥，因為「痛」係氣唔通既另一表現，氣唔通就令人痛同炆憎喎~ [如果我真係胃痛得好緊要o個陣我會喊架~ instead of 炆憎]
講左咁多，其實師傅想話比我地聽，如果你呢排越黎越燥，即係你練 yoga 唔單只幫唔到你，仲比你本來既 emotion 控制番，and then 你越練 yoga 就越脾氣唔好，仲好想做好多「勁」既 yoga，咁你就「走火入魔」了！
well~ 我之前講過我「情緒崩潰」，新年o個陣自己都知自己燥，即係我「走火入魔」?
同媽咪講，媽咪話我一定唔係「走火入魔」而係「懶練功」喎~ 哈哈 :P 媽咪話「走火入魔」o個 d 通常都會偷偷狂練，練過晒龍都唔知架喎！嘩~ 好似武俠小說呀！

運動搖晃傷乳房 六成婦女沒穿運動胸圍
[編後按: 前言 from elsewhere -
昨晚的瑜珈課比平常的令我有更多的感受。因為‧‧‧
一、我弄出的一個笑話，我終於找到真正的原因了!
二、師傅說到「走火入魔」，明白了另外一件事件的原因
三、昨天上瑜珈課前看了那個「my story」，有點想法，上課時還不能入靜 :( 休息的時候按捺不住的想到更多，還把文章大綱、字眼都想好!
今天再把東西組織起來的時候，還是決定先寫「一」跟「二」，都 post 在 blogspot (編後按: 如下跟下篇) 。(突然 blogspot 有了很 frequent 的 update)]
如果大家有看開 y! 新聞 or 明報，應該有見過以上標題。新聞詳細內容在此: http://hk.news.yahoo.com/060207/12/1l12y.html
新聞內容大概如標題所講，運動時胸部大幅搖晃，會傷及乳房纖維組織，但 survey 卻顯示成四成六既受訪女性唔知道！
er~~~~ 一見到單新聞，其實我覺得幾奇怪，唔係咁都唔知呀? 胸部大幅搖晃唔單只會傷及乳房纖維組織仲令胸部鬆弛同下垂架喎，咁顯而易見都唔知?
但我今日唔係想講呢個。新聞舉例既運動 e.g. 跑步 (of 'coz 啦，running 都唔算就真係唔知咩先算啦，哈哈！)、打網球和壁球等都好明顯，但原來每天緩步跑逾半小時以上都應該穿上對胸部有較佳保護的運動型胸圍，嗯，原來真係唔可以慳同懶架！新聞仲用左個 term 叫「單邊運動」，即係打squash 等單邊運動喎，都係容易令乳房纖維組織受傷的運動，仲有去做 gym 其實都需要穿上運動型胸圍。
嗯，都好明白呀，應該既，只係好多時都係懶換衫囉，哈哈！<-- 呢個係我一直既想法，我完全唔知原來有人唔知囉，common sense 黎架喎(應該係)。算啦，我想講既係... 乳房纖維組織受傷既 symptom, 我真係唔多知喎！
新聞話: 「香港執業物理治療師協會會長黃燦鴻說，女性乳房纖維組織受傷的症狀是疼痛，但女性一般會誤以為患上乳癌，若不是乳癌引致的疼痛，九成以上的乳房局部疼痛是由乳房纖維組織受傷引致。」
看完即刻笑到肚痛，仲即刻同媽咪講！哈哈，因為呢，大半年前我都去看過醫生囉，不過只係「順便」既 jer~
話說大半年前啦，我都仲未知咩叫「神經痛」(耳仔既神經痛除外，因為試過了)，只係覺得左邊心口好痛，有時仲痛到去旁邊喎，咁又唔知點好喎? 我又分唔到係 inner 定 outer 痛喎，咁岩有日去看醫生咪順便同醫生講囉，佢一聽見都驚架，inner 同 outer 都大 wok 架嘛，簡單檢查左一陣，佢話兩樣都無異樣，只係神經痛，哈哈！咁我就無理佢啦，只係食多 d vitamin B。
幾個月前我又覺得痛喎，但我今次識分唔係「神經痛」，咪叫媽咪幫我檢查下囉，佢地做婦科檢查 d nurses 有教架嘛，媽咪話無野喎，可能係 d hormones jer~
看完呢一則新聞之後，先知道原來「乳房纖維組織受傷的症狀是疼痛」，哦，原來仲有個原因既，但我又諗唔到我有做過 d 乜「大運動」o丫，所以呢就無理到呢樣野啦！
只係今日上 yoga 前看左 d yoga websites，真係好多都叫人着「韻律衫」or 運動背心再加 tee 喎！咁呢，又諗起呢則新聞囉，做 yoga 時當然留意下啦。加上呢，今日有新同學喎，師傅就再講下 d "rules" 囉，叫同學記緊四個鐘前唔好食野，if 真係好肚餓，最好 at least 1 hour before take some milk or bread loh... 仲有就係要着鬆身衫，都有講到 underwears 架，佢都話唔好好緊o個 d 囉，仲有 warn d 「師奶」唔好着 girdles 呀 corset 呀咁囉 (well~ d 「師奶」真係 crazy 架，都唔知佢地點做既，我見過我隔離o個個真係着 corset 架，個人倒轉左個陣看到 :p corset 喎，仲要 shoulder stand，頂死啦!) 講下講下~ 好似真係着運動背心會好 d 咁喎！
好啦，即係唔可以懶啦，以後上堂前要由頭換到落腳，由裡面換到外面啦~ 嗯~ 我諗咁就應該唔會再痛啦~ ^_^

只係今日上 yoga 前看左 d yoga websites，真係好多都叫人着「韻律衫」or 運動背心再加 tee 喎！咁呢，又諗起呢則新聞囉，做 yoga 時當然留意下啦。加上呢，今日有新同學喎，師傅就再講下 d "rules" 囉，叫同學記緊四個鐘前唔好食野，if 真係好肚餓，最好 at least 1 hour before take some milk or bread loh... 仲有就係要着鬆身衫，都有講到 underwears 架，佢都話唔好好緊o個 d 囉，仲有 warn d 「師奶」唔好着 girdles 呀 corset 呀咁囉 (well~ d 「師奶」真係 crazy 架，都唔知佢地點做既，我見過我隔離o個個真係着 corset 架，個人倒轉左個陣看到 :p corset 喎，仲要 shoulder stand，頂死啦!) 講下講下~ 好似真係着運動背心會好 d 咁喎！
好啦，即係唔可以懶啦，以後上堂前要由頭換到落腳，由裡面換到外面啦~ 嗯~ 我諗咁就應該唔會再痛啦~ ^_^

MA Application
今日再看看 cu 的網頁才發現 confidential recommendation 也要 deadline 前送到，開始感覺到一絲不安，因為我還沒有找到 referees。
剛剛臨急臨忙的寫了兩封 letters 給 ust 的 lang lecturers，一個是 dr 一個是 prof，當 academic referees 準是沒有問題，只是不知道他和她肯不肯答應。我不知道之前有沒有人作過同樣的嘗試而他或她的答覆又是甚麼。我想我還有三個選擇，可都沒甚把握。一是 dr sackmann，可他是 german 的老師，有點兒那個吧！二是 prof tay，可是我差點可以確定他一定把我忘了，我要先把 mid term 找出來。三是 prof shi，其實真的不知道他現在是否身在 ust，還有就是三年前找他幫忙過，offer 有了卻沒有念，有點不好意思。
我在想，還有甚麼 prof 可以找呢? 唉~~~~~

好悶~
這個星期看了很多文章、電視，有很多「感受」想寫出來，卻不知如何歸納?
也因此引起了我寫「隨筆」的念頭，有很多想寫的主題，諸如童年，朋友等。看書的時候又想到一些，看電視的時候又看到一些，連洗澡乘車的時候都想到了很多，實在有太多念頭，有太多想要寫下些甚麼的主題。
只是一個週末，卻好像很久沒有寫 blog 一樣，很想在這裡寫下一點東西，但沒有頭緒，沒有寫作的方向，太多的素材還來不及組織起來，只好胡亂地記下些甚麼吧了！
嗯，好吧！來點我想過的主題吧！
一、正如我之前的 post 所說，我在看王貽興的「路中拾遺」。我說過了，我不喜歡看散文 (卻很喜歡寫散文，因為小說要消耗的心力精神實在太多了；劇本還可以)，因為我很貪心，想要看到很完整的一個故事。這是其一的原因，另外一個原因是因為很多時候散文的「共鳴感」很少吧！看「小說」可以慢慢投入角色當中，感受主人翁所感。但這一本，正如我之前所說，共鳴感是前所未有的多，看每一篇也像自己的經歷一樣。看到熟悉的人、地、物，可以看得到影像，多多少少比較明白那個感受，也勾起了冬眠在我內心深坎處只屬於我自己的回憶。一下子湧出那麼多封塵的記憶，不用想也知道我快承受不了。人大了，慢慢明白「分享」和「分擔」的重要，我也不想再藏那麼多在心中，所以想要把她們(我不喜歡用「它」，因為記憶都有生命的，是我身體的一部分，所以我都用「她們」)都寫出來，跟大家分享一下。
二、從 fyp 到現在還未完成的「My music list」恐怕又要再拖了，大綱雖然給大家看過，但我又想加新的東西進去了！
三、今天乘坐的巴士特別人多，我只好站着。平常坐下的我一定會一邊聽 mp3 一邊看書，今天只好一邊聽 mp3 一邊東想想西想想吧！本來想着回公司後要做的事：開電腦、check email、然後呢? 想到了 kaman 的生日，啊！對了！要 check newsgroup 的留言，看一下聚會是在星期三還是星期六。想到這裡就想起了我們「相識十年」的聚會，原來已經是兩年半前的事了，轉眼間又過了幾年，等到奧運會的時候，我們已經相識十五載呢! 用快鏡把我們相處的十幾年重溫過一次，忽然覺得很溫暖，要是沒有了大家的扶持，現在會是怎麼樣的境況呢? 記得中六的時候，有老師對我們說，中學的同學很重要，她們會是你一輩子的朋友喔！也有老師說，中學的同學很重要，但慢慢大家的生活圈子會改變，價值觀也可能變的不一樣了，要是以後還有連絡是很好的，要珍惜；但大學的同學更是難得，大學以後大家的生活圈子會差不多，同學間會共渡難關，一同走過很多路，所以會是知心好友。本來我就不太相信，我還是「重視」我的中學同學，她們已經超越了「同學」也超越了「朋友」，感覺到我們真的是「姐妹」了，大家也會為了對方而擔心而高興，全是出於真心的。大學的同學呢，我不排除有這樣的可能，尤其在以前的年代。從前，中學的教育只著重「學術」而忽略了「全人發展」，所謂的「人生觀」、「價值觀」也沒有形成，同學間就像兒時玩伴一樣。沒有那麼多大學的時候，進了「社會大學」才開始認識人生培養「價值觀」；有幸進大學的，就如我們 huma 071 的 prof 說的，不單要學習「專業知識」，還要培養「人生觀」和認識終生的朋友，因為這裡認識的人大多跟你有着一樣的人生觀價值觀。還有，從前大學畢業後，極少數學生會「轉行」，因而同學間變成同濟，在同一工業中生存，大家要一起跨過很多人生的難關，不難理解為何大學的同學才是「終生的友伴」。但我想時代不同了，時代變遷，最明顯的莫過於在中學推行「全人教育」，從小培養學生的良好品德，還有灌輸正確的價值觀，慢慢的，到了高中的學生已經形成了有「個人風格」的「人生觀」，他/她們會知道自己的目標是甚麼，要追求甚麼。正因如此，在交友上也會選擇一班「融洽」的朋友，大家的「人生觀」未必一樣，「價值觀」也有偏差，卻可以融合在一起，互補長短，這樣一來，雖然大家將來要走的路不盡一樣，甚至相差甚遠，但殊途同歸，心靈的溝通是不會因而受到阻隔，大家還是會非常明白大家所想，從心靈上共同走過物理層面上 (physically) 不一樣的路。當然在大學裡還是會遇到一些可以交心的朋友，但也許比較難得吧！
四、在 newsgroup 看到「港台係英華拍野?」，原來是拍三八婦女節 series，第一集是「盲人女作家」。到港台網站看了「節目重溫」，看到了英華的 Hall、D-block、課室、外觀、校服等，很有親切感。發覺 D-block 的外觀 加上樹影，很好看！原來 Hall 真的很大，很莊嚴。D-block ground floor 樓梯配上古老的木門，很有味道，古典而優美。校服真的很好看，很懷念，但正如 bes 提出，她們沒有配帶社章，而且有一個鏡頭還穿了灰色的襪子，除非校規改了，我們的校服冬天應該是穿白色的！還沒看內容的時候就知道主人翁是誰，她是低我們一屆但年紀當然比我們大的學生，初進來時唸中三，會考唸中國文學 (如我沒有記錯的話)，成績很不錯，還唸到預科畢業。從老師口中聽過一些她的事，也常常看到她在圖書館現身，打着她的「點字機」。我記得當時校長老師也說過不要歧視，但依我看來，同學們在學校看到她還是有避開的，是怕碰到她還是其他就不得而知了。我跟她沒有交流過，只是剛巧有幾次在圖書館和校園中碰到她。坦白說，當時因為一些事，覺得另一在我們學校的弱視同學太「自憐」及要求過多的「特權」，對盲人沒太多的好感。後來一次去心光盲人學校作義工，感受大有不同，慢慢明白他們的處境，及後得知那盲人女生會考取得好成績，我也有一絲驕傲呢！為我的學校和學妹而驕傲而光榮，很虛榮吧！看到她成為女作家，突然很想知道另一位弱視女生的狀況，畢竟我們曾是同班同學，有說有笑過吧！
五、上年英華 105 週年 annual dinner，我已經很想參加，winnie 媽也有提議過，但奈何沒足夠的人和議。記得 102 週年的時候我有去過一次，跟 5S 的人一起，因為當時跟她們在 ust 比較多連絡。去年接近聚餐的時候我有問過 twista 跟 nga lai，看看有沒有認識的人一起去，發現只有她們幾個「alumni 的委員」，結果當然沒有去。今年還沒收到通知，但我上網頁看過了，今年在灣仔的，希望可以找到足夠的人一同出席吧！
六、表姊在 nz 註冊了，已回港。恭喜恭喜！宴會訂在七月份，現在籌備中。看看「賓客名單」的初稿，挺多人，有從英國回來的，也有從澳洲回來的，加拿大的應該也有，大陸來的有一部份，澳門的當然也有，這當然只是女家的，表姊夫的爸爸是印尼華僑，但應該沒有人過來，聽說這是「于歸之喜」。酒席已經訂好了，只差發帖子。因為發帖子前要初步安排好住宿，發帖子後也要「催促」回覆是否到港以便訂酒店房間，可知道從「港」外來的佔多數呢。還有五個月，姨姨已經在準備衣服，怕到時候太忙，沒時間 shopping。表姊決定還是會穿晚裝，當然也訂好了！這樣一來就打破了我的如意算盤，當初說只是穿平常衣服，以為稍微穿漂亮一點即可，如今變成了真正的「婚宴」，我又要為我的「飲衫」頭痛了！

談「王貽興」~
白癡的我，把「王貽興」跟「王文興」弄錯了！
話說當年上課的時候要讀「王文興」的「家變(選段)」，忘了是要「教」的內容還是「只供參考」，但看過選段後我把整部「家變」看了一遍，很喜歡，但總把作者的名字記錯，不是錯配了同姓王的「王禎和」就是變成了同樣寫過「海」的「黃春明」。離開校園，就像把「文學」的興趣也拋進大海一樣。
在差點要忘了「中文文學」的時候，因為「二十世紀百大華文小說」，從新認識「中文文學」。去年有一天到公司對面的天地去看看，發現了「男人的一半是女人」，沒有看到作者但對書名跟封面很有興趣。過了一段時間，對那本書的記憶已經非常模糊，我看到一本「一半的房子、一半的他」，下意識的以為就是那本「一半」的書，留意到作者是「王貽興」，還以為「老人家」有新書出版，連封面也「摩登」起來。
就這樣，我沒有去求證，就以為「王貽興」= 我上課遇上的「老人」作者。直到我發現「路中拾遺」，才知道「王貽興」是一個只比我大兩歲的香港男生。
我不喜歡看散文集，但這一部很有共鳴，我尤其喜歡「大大糖果」，因為我也住北角！:p

因為時差，我要留在公司跟英國的老闆 msn and IDD from time to time，因為公司支 mic 鎖左係 IT 櫃度！:(

情緒崩潰~
尋晚食飯同班 friend 傾左勁多野，好開心！仲玩到十二點先離開 mk，今朝仲要返工~ :P
好耐之前已經講過，呢班 friend 一齊個感覺就好似同 colourless 一樣，有種 family 既感覺，可能因為大家搞過莊，一齊 work together 過。
食飯既時候都係傾下近況等，去飲野既時候變左「男女地帶」，班男仔自己傾。幾個女仔，傾傾下講到返工返到情緒唔係咁好。好似之前有人返工返到有病，好似小朋友唔想返學o個個病咁，一早起身返工就唔舒服咁。又有人返工返到無晒記性，心不在焉咁，咩都唔記得，有時仲會唔記得自己為乜會去左某地方。好似大家都試過因為份工搞到情緒低落晒！
之前既 post 都講過，尋晚我以為自己癡左線，雖則之後發現虛驚一場，但我既情緒呢，我就知道有 d 唔妥啦！
雖然唔知點解 (近因)，而我亦都未諗到「遠因」，但我知我既情緒崩潰-ing~
自問係個超 sentimental 既人，由細到大既星座書呀、心理測驗呀等等都係話我個人好 artistic，其實包含左「容易 lose temper 但又好容易 cheer up 番」既所謂藝術家脾氣，所以我都好努力咁克制自己，舊年下半年都做得唔錯架，依我記得都無乜幾次「當眾黑面」，收火到一個程度係係情緒唔係咁好既時候，崩潰既方式都靜態好多！仲好記得o個陣做左幾日唔見左鑰匙既上鏈娃娃添。
可能做「唔見左鑰匙既上鏈娃娃」既呢個感覺實在太奇怪，而呢排又突然 take up 番好多 art related 既 hobbies，個人又 artistic 番，上年年尾既 negative 情緒累積到新一年，慢慢崩潰-ing, 大年初一就比 d 野 trigger 左就「病發」啦！>.<
呢幾日都知自己情緒崩潰ing, steve 綜合各事件話係「人多擠迫既地方我就開始燥喎」，maybe 啦，我唔知喎，只知道我要「爆」囉，唔「爆」會癲囉！
可能呢幾日既「自由聯想」時間比較少，我個 mind 處於現實既時間比較多，所以未有位去消除 d negative 情緒，由於我真係崩潰ing & 尋日既「心痛」事件#，我決定左要「以毒攻毒」，今次唔係為左個心唔痛，而係希望一次過「有組織地崩潰」，咁就唔會巔啦！
「病發」時令別人難受，我要說對不起，就像我之前說的，我是真的控制不了，要克制的話我會很辛苦。但坦白說，這樣的感覺很爽！:P
自己看自己也真的覺得有點 bandai! well... :P
# remark: 報告一下，我個心仲有 d 「神經痛」但痛楚程度已經低到差唔多 feel 唔到，只係你 press 下旁邊 d 淋巴腺既時候有 d 痛~ 今次算係幾快搞店，上次神經痛痛左一個禮拜!!!! ^_^

大事回顧
本來想寫下尋晚既聚會，諗起之前曾經講過，大學識既朋友同 colorless 始終好唔同，唯有 express 有 d colorless 既 family 感覺，想搵番篇 diary quote 番係到。
因為唔記得左係幾時寫，我由有 record 既 2002 年開始看，看到 2003 年尾，發現我為 2004 年定下了三個「工作以外」既目標：
1. 日文考到 4 級，可以既話考 3 級 (仲要係 optional既)
2. 德文考 start deutsche I or 讀到有得考試為止
3. 普通話考國家試 (if 公司出 $$)
原來 2004 年既目標已經達到，2004 年底考左日文 3 級試，2004 年中已經考左 start deutsche I~ 普通話因為無 $$ claim 所以無考~
係 2005 年中我 take up 番日文，打好基礎，準備 2006年既 2 級試~ 德文已經考埋 start deutsche II，開始緊 certificate deustche (應該係 equivalent to 'O' level)，向 2006 年既 zertifikat deutsche 進發~
2005 算係我學習既過度期，2006 係一個 milestone。
我會努力溫書，希望一次過考到 zertifikat deustche。之後我會因應日文既溫習進度衡量下我仲可唔可以學多一種 foreign language，因為一眾 teachers and friends 都話如果想學多種 european lang，呢個時候應該係最好既。
我宜家忙緊搵 referee apply cu 既 MA in translation 同 ust 既 MA in humanities，如無意外，9 月可以開學。
係時候為我既大計打算，我講過，將來我要做我鍾意做既野！呢個 MA should be 好重要！

係 2005 年中我 take up 番日文，打好基礎，準備 2006年既 2 級試~ 德文已經考埋 start deutsche II，開始緊 certificate deustche (應該係 equivalent to 'O' level)，向 2006 年既 zertifikat deutsche 進發~
2005 算係我學習既過度期，2006 係一個 milestone。
我會努力溫書，希望一次過考到 zertifikat deustche。之後我會因應日文既溫習進度衡量下我仲可唔可以學多一種 foreign language，因為一眾 teachers and friends 都話如果想學多種 european lang，呢個時候應該係最好既。
我宜家忙緊搵 referee apply cu 既 MA in translation 同 ust 既 MA in humanities，如無意外，9 月可以開學。
係時候為我既大計打算，我講過，將來我要做我鍾意做既野！呢個 MA should be 好重要！
原來我只是肚餓~
:P 哈哈~ 原來我唔係癡左線，只係食錯藥 jer~
寫完之前篇 entry 就出左去食飯，因為早到就同幾個朋友仔到處逛逛，但心痛既感覺一直無停過！我已經覺得有 d 唔對路，無理由癡線到咁架? 咁開心同班朋友仔食開年飯都仲心戚戚?
諗下我做過 d 乜黎先發現，我食左胃藥！！！
食 lunch 都覺得個胃脹脹地唔係好食得落野，但最終都係去左食竹筒飯 :P 所以食完返黎就出事啦，個胃勁脹，後尾仲勁痛添！五點左右終於頂唔順去左食胃藥，一時唔為意，唔記得左要「飽肚服」，因為個胃仲好脹，我覺得好飽肚~ 跟住無幾耐就心痛啦，一定係咁！
其實我都只係估估o下，但行行o下一個女朋友仔話肚餓，就去買「雞蛋仔」，「癡」左幾粒食之後好似無咁痛喎，咦~~~ 好似真係肚餓喎！
食飯既時候都仲痛緊架，但食飽之後就好左好多，只係有少少神經痛 (之前試過，問過醫生，所以識得分)~
唉~ 等我仲驚我自己癡左線添~ 原來只係「不當食藥」既副作用，不過呢個副作用都幾大！:P 唔知 d 神經要幾時先唔痛呢?
p.s. 咁呢~ 其實今次心痛，我諗 70% 係食錯藥，30% 就係另外既~ 我都仲識分，只係之前唔知食錯藥，如果 100% 都係另外既，咁我一定癡左線~

心好痛添~
首先要恭賀新禧！！祝大家心想事成，新一年新希望新開始！
好！講自己野啦~
我既其中一個嗜好係到處去看有趣的 or friend 的 blogs~ 假期前搵到以前 roommate maggie 既 blog，看晒所有 posts 留左個 msg。我無諗住佢會 reply 我，所以見到 maggie 既 reply 都幾開心架！不過最估唔到係我短短既一個 msg，jacky 竟然會 reply 我咁大段文字，仲要係我度留 msg，其實真係勁感動！又唔知點解無意中 click 左去幾個 friend 既 online album，突然好想 post 下我 d friends 既相，就 dl 左幾張！:P 諗諗o下仲想寫o下「我的朋友」，就係咁，我走左去看我荒廢已久既 web，搵到 2002 年 summer 寫既「My Friends」。
看看o下，好有感觸，係 Y! 同 space 度都寫左 d，以為寫低左會好好多，點知寫完個心仲痛！戚下戚下咁~ 唉~ 點解會咁架? 頭先寫o個陣都無痛架? 點解一話「let it out」，放低啦就戚到咁架? 我唔係放低左好耐既呢咩? 我諗住寫o下架咋喎 "buried in my heart"，咩唔係一早放低左架啦咩? 諗諗o下，由第一次無端端既「冷戰」到宜家都，嘩！八年幾啦喎，有無搞錯呀！之後幾年都係咁啦，仲有好多新朋友~ 我一定係癡左線!!!! 唔通因為我無去到，所以內疚?
總知我宜家 physically 好痛啦，點算呀? >.<
好！就以毒攻毒，繼續寫「My Friends by Candice 2005」！

Dedicated to my friends
(moved from elsewhere)
Already wrote in the last entry, I would like to write something dedicated to my beloved friends. When updating my Y! regarding this, suddenly I thought of my web years ago! I've already written a "My Friends" in 2002 Summer!!!!!
Wow.... I've totally forgot this!!!!!!
Anyway, read again 'My Friends by Candice in 2002' and had some thoughts written in Y! Really some mixed feelings that I must write it out; otherwise I will be crazy. True... I should face it NOW. A 'stuff' that I put it aside for ages and just want to bury it inside myself but not letting it out. I should let it out.
This is one of a few 'my own self stuff from my heart' posts recently. Personally I quite like it. :P Link click here.

Besides my real world friends, I found someone left a msg in my Y! regarding L'Arc~en~ciel and Endy's music. Another weird but touching feeling! ^_^
So.. suddenly come up with an idea.. I should write something dedicating to my beloved friends.
