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...

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"~
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。

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).

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.

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.

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！
