"清道夫"及魚BB死了

今天早上便發現魚缸內的"清道夫"伏屍在池底．之後，我跟買這缸魚的同事說，從她口中，我才知道之前共有１５條的黑摩利BB全在週末死掉．．．．．好可憐．

缸裡面的其他魚也在生病中．．．．．唉，希望牠們會康復啦，我想，最傷心應該是這位同事吧，她真的很用心地照顧牠們．．．唉

Shake Shake Jack!!

Elements 圓方

I went to "Elements" for 3-D verion of Nightmare Before Christmas. This shopping mall is quite big and full of people. Of course, today was SUNDAY.
I sat down in a Kosmo Cafe and had a coffee. Here are the disposal knife, stirrer, spoon anf fork. They are ALL made of wood. It's Cute.

Ching Ching is 8 month old la!

Shot 1: Ching Ching looked so concentrated on reading book, but....
Shot 2: actually, I have already put a cat toy on her back!

FUN!!!

蒼井優

I took this picture in Mongkok yesterday night. That is the "Big Advertisment" of "izzue" with Yui Aoi. I saw this printed advertisment almost a month ago in Shatin New Town Plaza.

Ching Ching is now 7.5 months old

I visited my niece, Ching Ching, this afternoon. She didn't cry in front of me la!!!!!!!! She still need few minutes to recognise my face, but she DIDN'T CRY!!

if she CUTE?????? I LOVE her so MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!

Strange and Ugly fish

My colleague bought a UGLY fish in the fish tank. That's a cleaner fish. I screamed when I saw it in the morning (I checked with the fish tank everyday). It is SO UGLY. Its color is so pale and dull..... and its belly is semitransparent. I can see his mouth keep moving......
It STICK on everywhere too!!!!!!!!!!!! I think it's SO DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!
HOWEVER,
This cleaner fish worked VERY HARD!!!!!! The tank is completely CLEANED immediately. It ate all the dirts in the water.

This cleaner fish is now STICKED under the small temporary tank of the baby fishes.
Can you imagine that if you're one of the baby fish here
where there's a fish that stayed underneath?

NEW iPhone!!!!!!!!

iPhone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the NEW iPhone!!!!!!!! Is it cool. I have touched it and sensed it like "Minority Report".

Baby Fishes

My colleague bought some fishes and kept them in our office on last Monday. However, a fish was died on the first day. On the second day, the rest three fishes were all GONE too. Until last Friday, my colleague bought over 10 fishes again. We were worried about them because we'll have a LONG WEEKEND. Therefore, my colleague was back to office on Saturday. She said all the fishes looked FINE.
HOWEVER,
we're SO SURPRISED when we came back to school this morning. There are 15 baby fishes in the fish tank. The attached video are showing the baby fishes.....
BUT, my colleague found a headless baby fish was at the bottom of the tank too..... sigh.... because there're SO MANY BIG HUNGRY FISHES.......... now, these baby fishes are keeping separately inside this transparent box first.

Mid-Autumn Festival

我這一晚到了”大潭”燒烤，還以為遇上颱風而要取消，然而天公造美，晚上已經沒有下雨了．
晚上近１１點才到達”大潭”，一心買了螢光棒，燈籠及蠟燭，當然最重要的應節的”煲蠟”啦！

可是，午夜３時多，我們才開始”煲”，直到離開（大約４時半）蠟還是跟上圖差不多．．．
中秋節翌日，一大清早又到”大潭”AGAIN，哈哈，不過，這一次是玩wakeboard，八點半左右便起床，真瘋狂！！！！

Fishes in office

我C同事買了一缸魚到學校，三女一男．

今早她已發現其中一條懷孕了（我另一位同事卻不惑動物界的”亂倫”或”一夫多妻”，自從我曾經飼養倉鼠，所以已經見怪不怪了，但我卻非常欣賞C同事的回答說，”一夫一妻”制建基人類的道德觀念，我想正正就因這樣，人類才有別於一般動物）．但我想說的並不是這個，而是這男魚下午的時候已”魂歸天國”了，C同事猜說可能水溫或水質令牠生病了，的碓是，早上已發現這男魚的尾巴潰爛了．．．

我下午的時候拍了一段片子，因為我那位超爛gag同事，無聊地印了一張”龍猫”的wallpaper，並放在魚缸後，初時，看見男魚躺臥在池底，我和爛gag同事還以為牠被”嚇暈”，不久，C同事回來（C同事說她以前的同事更試過打印一張”鯊魚”的肉照，又同樣地放在魚缸後，我頓時聯想到”大白鯊第三集”，鯊魚最後正面衝向”監察室”，吞下炸彈那一幕），才知道牠生病了，背上長著像癬的白點．其間牠不時游上水面呼吸，然後又沉回池底，輾轉數次，牠沒有再浮回水面了．爛gag同事亦幫忙處理牠的”身後事”．

其實我拍下了牠死前的一刻，但我不太想post上網（註：我拍的原因只是覺得”龍猫”的wallpaper很搞笑，想拍下幾條魚在龍猫的口前穿梭而已）．

Firefly 2007

BUSY, BUSY, BUSY and BUSY!!!

I was EXTREMELY busy on prepare a BIG EVENT on this coming SAT and SUN. This event is as big as our Graduation Show and Open Day. However, this big event was normally supported by two teaching staffs. Unfortunately, for this year, I am the ONLY ONE who in-charge of this... which make me SO STRESSFUL!!!!

I hope everything is FINE. The weather WILL BE FINE la......

Heavy workload

I have been lazy for a week, because I was EXTREMELY busy on my job. A new semester will be started very soon, there are plenty of preparations and meetings in this week. I have also made HUNDRED calls.

When I got home, I really had no mood to update my blog...

Housewarming party part 2 and others

I went my hose warming party tonight. We played wii again. Does wii become an ESSENTIAL event for a gathering???

....sigh.... my wireless mouse has no battery now which make my keyboard not working too.... However, I haven't got spare AA batteries at home and forgot to buy it in this evening... so you must think how can I post this now?
I have got a WACOM pen, so I can use a virtual keyboard in my computer and click with my pen....

YUBZ TALK

I was walking around in Log-on (in Festival Walk) today afternoon. There is a funny handset created and designed by a "Yubz Talk" company.

Actually I love the idea of this handset. I usually think it's hard to have A LONG CHAT with friends by using the mobile because I can't just CHAT and let my hand DO NOTHING. Hongkongese are BUSY, right?! I (many people) always LOVE to put the mobile on the shoulder(and chat, of course) and do another things at the same time. HOWEVER, the latest mobiles are SO TINY!!!! It's difficult to hold the mobile on your shoulder.

This handset is designed as an old-fashioned handset. It's easy to hold in hand or put on the shoulder. There is a counter in Log-on for customers' testing. I tried that once. It's funny!!!
However, I have just realised today that there ARE SO MANY ACCESSORIES for this handset. Please check carefully for the attached images.

New Flowers

I bought 7 bunches of flowers yesterday in Flower Market and arranged them by myself(However, I have never learnt about flower arrangement before). I love SUNFLOWERS very much(I chose the purple flowers and put next to the Sunflowers, because purple is the complementary color of yellow). I also have NEVER bought roses. They looks NICE now. ^_^ I'm SO HARRY with it.

蒼井優“草裙娃娃呼啦啦”

我今年生日的時候收到電影中心送“生日禮物”，那就是戲票贈券一張，再加上續會又會多送一張，所以我共有兩張贈券。但無奈的是贈券不適用於週未、假期及首映日，有時候更是首映周，再加上贈券需要待電影開塲後才可使用，亦即是假若不是full house，才可揀位入塲，那不是叫你不要放工後去，因為7點以後的塲次正常只剩下前排三行，所以再一次一等再等，又等到接近有效期的尾段才逼使自己抽空去（有效期至本星期五）。

我今天看的是蒼井優的“草裙娃娃呼啦啦Hula Girls”。從這套電影仍未於香港上映前我已從報章看過它的報導，如蒼井優再一次飾演一位跳舞的女孩，加上她憑這齣戲奪得最佳女配角（但很多影評也認為她是女主角，而不是女配角）。

第一次認識蒼井優是於岩井俊二的網上版“花與愛麗絲”，那是她是擔當“愛麗絲”一角，之後網上版才變成完整電影版的“花與愛麗絲”。我當然跑到戲院看的唯一兩場，而且最令我興奮的是岩井俊二有出席是次放映（我還得到他的親筆簽名呢！！！！）。

從“花與愛麗絲”開始，我便喜歡上了蒼井優這女孩。之後，我看過於今年香港國際電影節的“蟲師”，戲中的她雖然是一個跛腳，但卻英姿颯颯的名門，下面的劇照便是她最帥、正在救小田切讓的一幕。而這“草裙娃娃呼啦啦”比我預期的好，雖然故事的內容仍是“五個撲水的少年Waterboys（妻夫木聰的成名作）”或“喇叭書院Swing Girls（無線正在播放“交響情人夢”上野樹里的成名作）”的固有模式。講述一群於礦山生活的少女們，為了將要倒閉的採礦工業，“殺出一條充滿汗與淚的路”的故事，同樣從沒有女孩願意開始，到慢慢得到好友的加入，直至後期得到大眾的接受，而變成一“班”年輕呼啦舞的舞蹈團，正正跟“五個撲水的少年”是一樣。(註：呼啦舞大概是我們平時叫的草裙舞）

然後遇上問題老師，如“五個撲水的少年”中的竹中直人（我非常欣賞他，他於原裝日版“談談情跳跳舞”的爆笑演出，還有“交響情人夢”的知名指揮家），他演一個完全不懂韻律泳，只是一名海豚訓練員中年男人，卻成為了妻夫木聰一行人的韻律泳教練，經過努力和誤打誤撞，他們終於學曉韻律泳，並於學園祭表演，他們精湛的演出獲得所有人的認同及欣賞。

而今回又是一名本是無心教學，從東京來的松泰雪子(日劇“急救病楝2”的女醫生)，看見蒼井優為了家園及自己的夢想，不惜與母親反臉而改變，開始努力訓練這班女孩。當然，經過幾番波折之後，她們於“夏威夷渡假中心”的開幕作出一個掀動人心的呼啦舞表演。

此戲中有某幾幕也十分感人：

1. 篬井優的好友早苗要放棄跳舞跟父親離開。
2. 篬井優的好友小白合雖然獲悉老父因礦坑倒塌，出死未卜，但仍堅持作巡迴演出（之後回家便確定父親真的離世了）。
3. 松泰雪子受眾人所責之後，決定離開。女孩們跑到火車站大呼，叫松泰雪子不要離開，只有篬井優用舞步來表達她的心聲，其他的女孩亦跟着一起跳（劇中曾交待舞步及手的動作其實可以表達音樂的意思）
4. 母親看見篬井優的綀習，深深明白女兒對跳舞的熱誠，及被她出色的舞姿所感動，重新接受篬井優（當然沒有二人抱頭痛哭的老土場面啦）。母親於是四出問村民借暖爐（為甚麽？大家遲陣子買DVD看吧）
5. 最後當然是開幕當日，各人拼命的演出，還有篬井優的“獨舞”。（篬井優的母親也默默地在台下支持）

我絕對是一個“眼淺”的人，我一定會看到流淚，所以我絕不會看一些標榜“煽情”的電影，如“導盲犬小Q”或“藉着雨點說愛你”....

慘，足足寫了一個小時以上啦~
而且，我為甚麽好像以前灰寫film review的功課?!唉，老毛病！老毛病！^_^

FreeLancer ola ola

好奇怪！！！
我最近接了兩份Freelance（平時我極少接，因為我比較喜歡休息多於賺錢，只是３月家裡大翻新，花了不少積蓄．．．），一個是４－５月時的job，一個是近期接的．

之前的freelance因為牽涉的client是上海的公司，遲遲也收不到對方的comments，所以由預期５月完成，推遲到現在仍是”進行中”．直到大約７月的時候，突然又收到對方的回覆，十分趕急地完成某些東西，同一時間，我又受人所托幫手，單是那幾天已令我嚴重睡眠不足．
上海公司又再一次音訊全無．．．

到了這幾天，我又收到消息要”開工”，
同一時間，
另一邊廂的freelance又突然要”交貨”！！！

為什麼一就是甚麼也沒有，一就是同時出現？？？？
難道兩邊的clients其實是同一個client？？？kidding...

Rubik's Cube

My dad completed one side of the Rubik's cube this evening in my brother's house.
I then asked him to completed two sides at one time by next week(I can't do it too, of course!!!). HOWEVER, it's a good challenage to my dad. This exercise is really a good brain training to prevent Parkinson’s disease!!

Housewarming party

Esther finally gave me a gift. She wrote the Chinese Calligraphy of "風" and "靜" on the paddle fan.
She chose these two words to me. She also suggested to write "門" on one side, and any words on the other side, such as "才", "心"... but.... seems not very nice...

I went to my friend's housewarming party this evening. These two friends got married on 1 July this year. They rent a 3nd floor with a balcony of a 3-story house. My friends and I bought a Wii to them for their wedding gift. The left picture shows they were playing HARD with the Boxing game in Wii Sport.
We have played three games tonight, Wii Sport, Rabbit and Mario Party 8. We also played with one more thing which made us SO EXCITED. That's mii!!!!!!!!!!!! I have copied two miis and saved in my remote and brought to my friend's home(So that, we can have a bigger community. Also, 4 remotes allows 4 players at the same time). The picture on the right actually are the miis that we've got and created today!!!! The one with the BIGGEST head is me. She's actually has a normal size of head. HOWEVER, it's different now because I was selecting her.

我，作孽了～～

我，作孽了～～
After I bought the Wii to home, I highly recommended it to my friends. Finally, I bought one to my friend for wedding gift. My colleague also bought a Wii today in Wan Chai too..... GOD!!! What have I DONE!!!!

Doorbell

There was a doorbell setting up in our office YESTERDAY~!!! "Classroom" has been written on the metal plate on the door., but, actually, it's the staff room. It WAS a classroom once, but it became a staff room 2 years ago.

A password lock has been used normally. BUT, if the students look for their tutor in our office, they MUST knock the door. HOWEVER, sometimes, it's hard to notice the knocking because the knocking is SO SOFT!!! AND, we found that there was a DOORBELL yesterday!!!!!!

HOWEVER, it's A BAD NEWS to our staff, especially to who sit next the door. They need to come and open the door frequently........ sigh, and I am the ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO TERRIBLE!!!!

Gwen Stefani's Concert

I was SO LAZY in the past few days, so I didn't update my blog.

There was an extremely HEAVY rain in the Thursday afternoon.
Unfortunately, I went to IKEA(Kowloon Bay) and Mongkok with my colleague. We were ALL WET
and
thanks to my colleague that he could take all the things we bought to his home first.

My bf invited me to go to Gwen Stefani's concert in AsiaWorld-Arena on the same day. He drove the car and picked me up in Mongkok. There was a traffic jam because of the rain. Therefore, we arrived at AsiaWorld-Arena quite late. We rushed to have our dinner. We saw Ryan Hui(許懷欣), Miriam Yeung(楊千嬅), Fiona Sit(薛凱琪), and some celebrities(Because I saw there was a camera and some stylish people at the entrance in front of the concert hall, but I didn't see their faces).

The performance of Gwen Stefani was SO GREAT even I was not familiar to her songs. Luckily, my bf sometimes use her songs in class. Therefore, I have a general idea who she is.
My bf bought the tickets in the free standing area. The people around us ENJOYED so MUCH and shook their bodies with the melody(so did I, of course). Many people in hall were also standing after the show began for around 30 minutes even they were in the sitting area.

It was quite FULL in this ONLY ONE performance of Gwen Stefani. There are 13,500 seats in the hall of AsiaWorld-Arena, and only two blocks was empty(not for sale). Therefore, you could imagine how many people were there.

Meeting old friend

I met an old colleague on the street in Mongkok today. I haven't seen him for at least 3 years(I think). He was a research assistant and worked for my favorite professor. Their work won an award too.

Ching Ching, Happy Birthday!!!!

Ching Ching, my niece is now half year old!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!

Haagen-Dazs Coupon

Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
I should have two FREE Haagen-Dazs ice-cream desserts since I am a Haagen-Dazs STAR CLUB member.

I am SO looking forward to it. HOWEVER, this coupon can ONLY be used on weekdays from 12 noon to 7 pm. It's SO IMPOSSIBLE to go there for a full-time worker.
ALSO, this coupon can be used in 4 Haagen-Dazs shops ONLY, including Star House, Time Square, Cityplaza, HK Pacific Centre.... sigh.... if I can use it in Shatin New Town Plaza, it will be GREAT!!!!

At last, this coupon comes to its expired day, 15 August. I read the calender yesterday. I found I wouldn't have any time before this Wednesday, except TODAY!!!!! Then I called my friend whether she would be available to go with me or not. HOWEVER, she needed to watch movie tonight.... then she suggested to give this coupon to someone else and we came to a conclusion.

I gave this coupon to my GREAT parents!!!!!! I won't go back for dinner tomorrow night anyway. They won't need to prepare the dinner for me. Therefore, they can go tomorrow. THANKS GOD that I didn't waste this coupon!!!!

RTHK program

I have just finished a RTHK program called "First Movie"(自作影畫) at 7:30pm tonight. I simply knew this program must be about the first movie made by the students who study in media. The interviewees are so young. They frequently mentioned the name of the University where they are studying at. This made me continue to watch this program because I was one of these students too. (My work has been shown in TVB once and I have been interviewed in RTHK program too. But it was LONG LONG TIME ago....)

The BIG surprise is about the host of this program. He was in my major but a year or two years(but seems one year only) below me. I remembered him because I have seen his work. He was already outstanding when I was still studying my Undergraduate. I even didn't know his name since I haven't taken the same class with him. Until he was in year three, I finally heard of his name from other people.

I didn't recongise his face when I've just watched this program. When his name appeared on the screen, I finally realised that was him. He looked SO DIFFERENT from my memory. I only remembered that he studied oversea for awhile and a short clip of his work. It was IMPRESSIVE, so I still recall it after 4 to 5 years.

It was so AMAZING. He's now the host of this program.

My second ride in Tai Tam(大潭)

I went to ride this morning again. This is the 2nd time that I went wakeboarding. Last time(two months), I couldn't say that I could stand on the wakeboard. I could only bend my knees and squatted on the board. When I tried to stand up, I fell down and hit the water. Last time, I lost my contact lens of my left eyes.

Today, I tried it again. I went to Tai Tam where I have never been. We arrived at around 11 this morning. Rain stopped(It was a HEAVY rain at around 9am in Shatin). I was the second one who rode. In the first try, I still didn't know how to stand up on the board. Then the wakeboarding coach(He is so talented. I have seen his ride once. I was OPEN-MOUTHED when I saw his GREAT performance!!!!) told me to open my chest and stand up with the muscle of thighs.

I finally stood up in my second try which made me SO EXCITED. I think I have successfully stand up on the board and ride for awhile three times today. However, I gave up finally, because I was so exhausted and panted.

I should ride at the middle of two wakes. I thought I could do it in my final try. I tried VERY HARD to control my legs, my body weight and my arms to balance my body. It was easy to be pulled by the boat and made me to hold the handle tight.

We haven't had our lunch since we ate breakfast this morning. After taking the shower, we went to "Sai Sha Cafe"(西沙茶座) in Sai Sha. The food there was good. We could see "Three Fathoms Cove"(企嶺下海 , actually, I didn't know the name of the sea.... so I have just checked in CentaMap, hehe ^_^) from the glass windows. There was a HEAVY rain again at around 3-4pm.... But, luckily, I have already got out of the water.

I am currently a monthly rider, haha! So, I don't know when I will ride again.

The day after the hard rain

I have cleaned up my voodoo's dolls. They are hanging upside down for drying.

I was extremely boring yesterday.... I couldn't go out or do anything because of the heavy rain and strong wind. Actually I could play the wii, but this dull mood made me didn't want to play it too.... Therefore, I tidied up my drawers in my study room. I throw many VISA receipts and categorized all the letters from the banks or the insurance companies.

Today, I visited my niece again. I tried my best to visit her as much as I could.
.......... SIGH.................
She seemed not to recognise me. She stared at me..... I still needed to play with her for at least 15 minutes to recall her memory.
I HOPE...
SOMEDAY...
She will smile at me if she sees me... (don't need to warm up)

求婚

經過兩日的中五收生，我昨天已決定要放假一天．
一早醒來，已是十時半，然後再躺臥至十一點... 才乖乖地走下床，起床後的第一件要幹的事當然是開電腦，用新keyboard，到了十二點便更衣到附近買飯盒，那是一間相熟的店，我以前時常去的（但一個月都未必有一次，因為我不是常常到家附近的地方吃飯，除了最近偶然到”太興”吃厚厚的奶醬多之外）．
今天我見不到老闆，只見另一個員工，他一看見我便寒暄了一番，當我的飯盒差不多準備好的時候，那員工問我是否喜歡吃這裡的飯，我回答說是，他便立即又問我不嫁給他，那我不是天天都可以吃這裡的飯??
開玩笑吧?

Admission

Yesterday was an important day of all the Form 5 students. For who have got a good result, they're SO HAPPY. However, for who have got a low marks, they need to look for Form 6 vacancies.

For ME, I needed to check the marks of every student who wanted to apply to our IVE courses offered by my department CAREFULLY. Especially there is a brand new grading system for the language courses: 5*, 5, 4, 3 and 2. At the meanwhile, I needed to check their interview scores if they have been interviewed before.

This is the first time that I am working on the admission. Last two years, I was only responsible for answering questions or introducing my course. The task of this year is extremely energy-demanding. I need to FOCUS!!!! FOCUS!!! and FOCUS!!!! Because I couldn't make any mistake!!!!!

There're lesser students apply to the courses today. The main reason is that they don't meet the minimum entrance requirement. Therefore, they can only wait for the main round of course offering generated by the computer in the next week. Therefore, I felt quite boring in the whole day. My colleague came to our hall and chatted with us. He thought of some stupid but fun gags again, such as 巡冗（四圍巡的冗員），寧食勿語（寧願食都唔好講o野）...

MKS McDull Music Project 2

I went to the performance of Hong Kong Sinfonietta yesterday. The last music piece is one of my favorite!! When I came back home, I searched all around in my apartment and looked for this CD. But, I failed. I thought it might be in my parents' home.
So, I went to my parent's home tonight and looked for this CD again. Of course, I did find it. I wanted to list out which are my favorites.

1. Smetana: The Moldau from Ma Vlast
   
2. Sousa: The Stars And Stripes Forever (It's very popular!!!! Especially for the people who love to play an arcade game called "Salamander沙羅曼蛇")
3. Massenet: Meditation from "Thais"
4. Tchaikovsky: Swan Lake
   

I'm currently listening to this CD now~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shopping in the kid store

I visited my niece this morning again. She was still not familiar with me. We then went to Chinese restaurant altogether this afternoon. This is the 2nd time that our families went to the restaurant. Last time was the first month after my niece was born.
She loved to play with my voodoo devil toy of my mobile phone. The metallic ring which was linking with the toy and the strap was broken. We then went to the kid store to buy some socks for her. My sister-in-law and I were SO EXCITED to check with different latest toys with sound. We tried ALL reachable toys and pressed ALL the buttons with electricities(we were definitely attracted by the toys than my niece was).

My little baby niece again

I have been HURT for a week, because my little niece didn't recognize me. She is almost half year old now. No one realised that she started recognizing people around her; meanwhile, I haven't visited her for about a month(that's my fault for sure..... >_<).

When I visited her last Saturday, she cried!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Because she completely had no idea who I was. Then I visited her again on last Sunday and last Wednesday. She still cried when she saw my face(She has recognized my dad(her grandpa), my mom(her grandma), my brother and my sister-in-law(of course, they're her parents)).... She simply don't remember me~~~

Today, I visited her again this evening. She cried. Even I tried to play with her, she still cried.... I fed her milk at around 6:30 pm and she drank(of course, she'd no choice at all).

She tried to "run away" from me after finishing her milk. About 15 minutes later, I played with her again. She was still so alert to me at the begining. But, then after a few more minutes, she smiled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I played with her for awhile. She didn't cry any more. Then she went to bed before our dinner.
I really don't know whether she still recalls my face tomorrow or not!!!!!!!! But I will VISIT her again tomorrow morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I won't let her to forget me again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's my GOAL!!!!! a stupid goal....

Time off with Wii

I'm taking time-off today. I woke up at 9:30 this morning and started playing Wii. However it seems not able to save data in my SD card. I need to figure it out with my Esther's brother later.

Wii Wii Viola

I BOUGHT a Wii tonight which I dreamt of!!!!!
I've just tried "Cooking Mama" and "Biohazard 4"!!!!
But, I must to stop it now because I have promised to do so!!!

爛gag王

今天我跟坐在附近的同事一起離開，我差一點連命也弄丟了．．． 笑到死．．．
因為其一個不停地講gag，其實也不是太爛，因為真的好笑！！

例如，他講到一些極少有的姓氏，如”病”．這樣的姓氏配怎樣的名字都會做成笑柄，如”病”加上”成錦”二字，便會變到”病成咁”，說了幾個用”病”字開頭的怪名之後，我衝口而出地說了”病態”，接著這位同事立即說”有呀！！！他的太太不就是”病”太嘛？”，簡直是妙問妙答！！！

Transformers 觀後感

臨近放工的時間又跟附近的同事談論Transformers的劇情．第一，當然是劇中的部份爛gag，例如來自芬蘭的Nokia電話，大家不約而同地為自己的健忘劣筋性安上一個合理的藉囗，那就是如果有一天發現電話，在你一覺醒來之後不見了的話，一定是它自己”跑”了!!!　還有會劃出4條花痕必定是X-men的Wolverin，而不是A Nightmare on Elm Street的Freddy．
而且,大家也認為Optimus Prime的描寫不足,相反Bumblebee的性格反而突出有趣,不過我們都認為下一集將會好一點吧（以成本效益來計算，機械人的models已做好，最多只需加添反角，便又可以拍成第二集了）。
還有，其中一幕我跟另一位同事也都十分喜歡（其實滿搞笑），那就是當Bumblebee不滿意Sam他們嫌棄他殘舊的時候，Bumblebee一怒之下趕了Sam跟Mikaela下車，還轉成為一部全新的跑車，那一幕的背景音樂頓時換了一首極cult的出場音樂．我在戲院看到這一塲戲簡直冒出汗來了^_^:: ～～
至於Megatron的滅亡，又是被丟進水裡．．．即使不是水，大部份的”拯救地球的A級片”也離不開是熔岩，如LOR3: Return of the King的魔戒，Alien3中懷孕的Ripley，Terminator2的Terminator又是掉進熔岩，真的點老土．．．

Transformers!!!!

I finally watched "Transformers" in UA Windsor at 10:10 pm. My colleague watched it on the opening night. I was SO EXCITED to watch it!!!! My colleague is also the expert in production and post-production. He appreciated so much the amazing visual effects in this movie.
Most of the theatres were FULL in the last weekend. I couldn't buy the tickets online because there were only some separated seats in the first 3 rows.

FULL moon

I saw a BIG FULL MOON tonight on my way to Sai Kung. The moon is really BIG!!!!!!!!!! I took the top-left photo on the car(which is moving). The top-right one was just a moon, but it looked very small.... because I took this with my 2 mega-pixels camera in my mobile phone.

2nd hand computer Part 4

I finally bought a IDE to SATA plug converter this afternoon. I then plugged it into my 2nd hand computer. However, I am really an idiot. My computer couldn't detect any DVD/CD player, except the hard disk. I tried and tried. The DVD/CD was still missing.

I gave up and went to bed 1.5 hours ago. I received my bf's call and told him what's happened. He taught me how to solve it. Of course, my computer finally detected the DVD/CD player and booted the right installer. THANKS SO MUCH!!!

I got up from my bed for installing a window.

Thanks to Johnny too!!!!! He's answering many stupid questions now.

* * *

Basically, I have installed most of other drivers and I will install the driver of motherboard tomorrow.
I need to go to bed..... because I am so TIRED!!!
It's almost 3 am... I slept at 3 am yesterday too.... so CRAZY!!!

Netvigator set a trap

Netvigator has set a trap!!!!!!
AND I've been trapped!!!!
I have PAID at least $500 more than I expected!!!

I've just logged into my account in "netvigator.com". I haven't checked the bills after joining this service plan. I was SO BUSY to pay different bills in the past 5 months(start from living on my own). The bill of broadband service is an e-bill too, so I have NEVER checked it. If it's a paper-bill, I will read it as usual.

Until now, I found that I should pay $27X every month. As I remembered, the plan I joined only cost $19X. Then, what's happen?????? I checked each items carefully. I found that I paid for two more services. One was "Media.com.hk" and the other was "MOOV.com.hk". I haven't used these before.

I scanned the e-bill again!!! These two services were free for the first month. Then, I totally realised that I didn't cut the plan(of course, I didn't know/remember that I should do it). However, that's ok. Every companies do the same thing. Then, fine. I'm STUPID!!! I will not argue for it. Of course, I will CUT the services NOW!!!!!!

I could cut "Media.com.hk" immediately and successfully. HOWEVER, I couldn't cut the other one~ The bill indicates that is a 12-month plan. THEN, I totally believed I was treated by NETVIGATOR!!! Then, I have just called to the hotline of Netvigator's Customer Service. They told me that IF I DIDN'T CUT THE SERVICE AFTER THE FIRST MONTH, IT WOULD TURN INTO A 12-MONTH PLAN AUTOMATICALLY!!!!!!! THAT'S SSSSSOOOOO CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!
How can it turn into a CONTRACT???!!! I didn't sign any document??? I only signed for the broadband service!!!!!! I have left my contact to them and they'll follow up!!!!

IF they don't call me back by tomorrow, I'll keep complaining and calling them EVERYDAY!!!!

I'm SO ANGRY NOW!!!

MPhil(s) Gathering

Tonight, I met with three other MPhil. students(three are the graduates and one is waiting for Oral Defence). We are from the same course, same department and same university(of course!). However, we are not so-called "classmates", because we studied in MPhil. in different years.

From the last 5 years, only 4 Hongkongeses studied this MPhil. course. The rest of them are mostly come from mainland China and one from France (this French guy is VERY HANDSOME. I haven't met him before. My friends said he's teaching French in the University. Some of my friends took his courses when they were studying Undergraduate)

Tonight is the first time that we gather together. As I have mentioned that we studied in different timing, we hardly met each other in the University(We supposed to be sitting in the same room). Tonight is a WONDERFUL time to chat with them and share our experiences.
Studying MPhil. is my toughest time in my life. It's MUCH HARDER than preparing the HKCEE or HKAL.
During tonight's chatting, we simply have several common experiences during our studies:

1. We ALL thought of QUITTING our studies in certain circumstances,
2. We ALL studied in a lonely environment, because we didn't have any classmates that we could ask if we'd any questions,
3. We had GREAT difficulties while reading the prior researches, BUT WE STILL NEED TO. We ALL understood each single word written in the paper, but we had NO IDEA what it was really about,
   
4. We ALL temporarily don't consider to have FURTHER study,
5. We ALL agree one professor(actually, he's my favorite professor) would not be considered as a supervisor ANY MORE,
6. We ALL felt depressing in some situations.
   

These HARD feelings are really DIFFICULT to be shared. No one would understand how hard the MPhil is (of course, if a student pickes an easy topic, it'll be easy!!). We are so ambitious that choosing a challenging topic. In my case, I was studying media in Undergraduate degree and I stopped learning computer from Secondary 3. HOWEVER, I tried to program a renderer in my MPhil degree. It's SO IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!

There is a great diversity of careers among our classmates too. Two becomes pop stars. Some work in publishing companies. Some work in magazine publishers. Some are directors, editors, 3D animators, etc. My job nature is so-called "teaching", but I'm still teaching animation. Therefore, I'm still working on "production-related" in my profession.

Finally, we talked about recent situation of our professors/lecturers. Half or one-third of them left within these 5 years.
I have just added the link of Karen's blog in "友blog". She taught in City University of Hong Kong. She taught an elective course and I helped her to prepare the notes(of course, I was just an assistant ^_^). She recently published a book, called "Pre-animate! A Guidebook for Independent Animators". I will buy it asap!!!!

2nd hand computer Part 3

Finally I knew what's happen to my POOR computer. It's because the crashes of hardware with incorrect drivers. The only solution is to re-install the Operating System to my hard disk. Actually, I need to re-install my OS long long time ago. Since I have deleted some significant drivers/software, it crashed with my Office and IE.

I have bought a new SATA hard disk during the lunch break in Kwun Tong. My colleagu showed me how to plug a power cables too. However, I failed. I didn't find the same cable in this 2nd hand computer. I only saw one small one and it should have one which is bigger.... I need to ask my colleague tomorrow.... in case I fail to explain, I have taken a photo already which I can show to him tomorrow.

2nd hand computer Part 2

我絕對是一個電腦白癡，雖然我的工作是教學生用softwares，但我一向拿hardwares沒輒，雜亂的cables更令我頭痛！！

我的新二手電腦換上了原來的Hard Disk後，不能正常進入Windows，無論怎樣試也是會不停restart，restart，和restart，很快地閃下WindowXP版面之 後，再閃一下藍畫面，又會自動boot機。根本連藍畫面上寫著甚麼也看不見，既然完全摸不著頭腦，只好跑上睡覺去，待睡醒後找人救我！

My bf has helped me to transfer my 2 original HDDs to the 2nd hand computer. HOWEVER, the computer cannot boot correctly. It kept restarting when the WindowXP appeared for ONE second.

I HAVE NO IDEA what's going on. Now, I wait for my saviour to rescue my LOVELY computer and my HANDSOME 24-inch monitor!!!! Johnny!!!!!!! HELP ME & SAVE ME!!!

2nd hand 24-inch Dell Full HD LCD monitor

I have finally got my 2nd hand 24-inch Dell Full HD LCD monitor. It's HUGE and HEAVY!!!!!!!! but it's still lighter than my SONY 19-inch CRT monitor. Actually, my "old" monitor is still functioning well, because it cost HK$7000 7 years ago. But, this full HD LCD monitor is SO ATTRACTIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fish Rafts

Today, I went to a fish raft in Sai Kung. This is the first time that I swam and BBQ in fish raft. The raft is made of wood column and dark green sailclothes. Over 55 people were on this raft. It's a joyful party although I didn't meet MOST MOST of the people there.

There were totally 7 dogs on the rafts too. One white dog was really fond of me. Everytime, I squated down, the dog must climbed to my knee and KISSED on my lips several times!!!! But I didn't take picture with this dog....
It's quite impossible to take his picture.... because he must approach me when I squated down........

I hurt my lower leg!!!!!!!! However, I completely have NO IDEA when and what hurt my leg.... I felt pain and saw the wound. At the beginning, I saw the wound is just a about 7 cm long scratch... HOWEVER, when I checked it out one more time when I was home, it was actually 7cm x 3cm wound with many many scratches. It's really DISGUSTING!!!!!!!! and PAIN too................. >_<






MOREOVER,


It was a STARRY NIGHT today. I have seen more than 50 stars in the sky. I haven't seen that much for over 10 years, because I haven't been in countryside for long long time. When I was in Secondary 5, I also saw a BIG, BRIGHT MOON and STARssss in the camp site.
