要搬家了。

學校終於要搬家了，鐵定了今個星期五正式遷往新校舍。

早兩天已開始收拾細軟，但仍然有太多零零碎碎的雜物文具文件.....都無從入手，只好全都擠進紙箱裡再算。

太多舖滿塵的相架，相中的我很年輕（雖然現在也是），但剛畢業的我還是精神飽滿，興奮得很。

書架上的舊獎座，令我有點失落。

失落於多年都沒有再繼續我artist的生涯，總是拿著「忙」作藉口.....　唉.....

何韻詩 HOCC 《十日談》學校巡迴放映會+紀錄片座談會

星期三，我遇見了HOCC。

原因？HOCC早前跟麥婉欣合作拍了一齣紀錄片，她安排了一連串學校巡迴放映會。
星期三，便是放映會x分享會當日。

很久很久了。
沒有走到戲院裡看紀錄片，求學時期我總會熟讀「香港國際電影節」的節目表，每年的那兩個星期都會買超過15齣電影，一天要走遍港九不同的劇院。辛苦？苦，不過，半價看世界各地的電影，怎樣的苦也會忘記!

回到HOCC。
兩小時的記錄片，一點兒也不悶。當訪問到某幾個精神病患者／康復者，我更感動到滿腔淚水...

我就是想分享一下幾個受訪者的動人故事。

一位失婚婦人，１９歲已患病，其後來到香港，結婚。
可是，最終丈夫還是嫌棄，外遇，離她而去。
她只好跳舞來麻醉自己。
鏡頭前面，她翩翩起舞，臉帶笑容。但，寂寞，她卻擺脫不了....

也是一位失婚婦人。
病發時，與女兒發生爭執，女兒更拿起刀揮向這位失婚婦人，她只好逃到街上。
這樣，她便沒有跟女兒聯絡，女兒沒有找她，她亦沒有找女兒。

一對夫婦。
未婚前，兩人只是陌路人，在街頭相遇，男的見到女的被人欺負，幫了她。
慢慢地便覺得兩個人一起共同進退，之後，結婚了。
兩人互相扶持，已為人夫的他眼見妻子做不了的事，總會樂於幫忙。
沒有抱怨，沒有煩厭。
而她的一句說話，令我強忍著涙水。究竟是怎樣的一句話?
HOCC問：「你覺得咩係開心？」
她答道：「...可以攬攬！」

好感動的一句話!
愛，說是這麼的簡單!
何須用金錢來衡量?!（突然，令我想起「星期日檔案：港男港女」）


這些確確實實的故事，比起某電視台的「霎時感動」來得振奮人心。

PSP+msn

今天已經踏入我悠長假期的第四日。
一覺醒來，又拿出將近發霉的PSP，兩個星期前是我部PSP的重新日，為什麼偏偏是兩星期前？因為我學校要開會，還是一個早上那麼長的會，對於我這個small potato，當然沒有我發言的需要，所以便想用PSP來上上網，打發時間。

可是setup完無線網絡之後，上facebook是絕不可能，因為這些網站的圖太多，PSP並不能正常顯示，當日我亦只能check check email，看看forum。

加上iPhone 3G的出現，我手提的接收偶爾失靈，令我最近不停看看smartphone的資料，密謀購入iPhone 3G或smartphone。因為自從大學畢業，我亦買過Palm，主要目的是它的拍攝，聽mp3，記事，和日程表的功能。但過了一至兩年，它偶然出現hotsync問題，和電池壽命減少，和重要的是，我已經有iPod nano第一代了，更加不常出街便要同時帶手提，Palm和iPod nano，慢慢我已經用手提上簡單的記事簿功能，最好的是其響鬧裝置，提醒我一些要做的事情，例如開會，跟朋友的聚會，找卡數等，所以結果我放棄了Palm和iPod nano（因為我提用了2G的卡，mp3也可以存到卡上）。

************************************************

可是，總不能用手提上網，因為好貴呢。所以我這個星期嘗試用PSP上網，雖然輸入文字的時候十分吃力，但勝在有太多可以接收Wi-fi的地方，所以我花了早上的一個小時，找到一個適用於PSP的sotware，它既可以上msn，還可以快速check Google和yahoo的email，甚至連wikipedia也有，正!!!!!!!!!!

破費啦~

我今日做了一件要懺悔的事。

我買了15吋Macbook Pro~~~~ 心儀了一段不短的時間，終於下定決心，花了２萬大元買下了。當我上網買時，按下"place the order"的一剎那，真的既心痛，又雀躍。因為相隔五六年了，終於買我的第二台Mac機（上一部已是Powerbook G4啦！）。但是一下子花掉2萬月真的令人再三考慮...
坦白說，我真的是一個Apple 粉絲。Apple的產品絕對是型人的象徵，雖然Apple開始走進「平民化」的路線，由iPod的普及，至到最近iPhone 3G的登陸，已經愈來愈多人使用Apple的產品，人們都為它簡約的設計而著迷，甚至瘋狂（我好明顯都是其中的一份子呢！）。但，客觀而言，Macbook Pro確實存在著「必買」的理由!!!!
第一，Mac機甚少被時下的病毒侵襲，因為大部份的病毒都是針對Microsoft而「泡製」，所以不會於Mac機的平台「病發」。
第二，Mac機現在同時可以執行Windows和Leopard，換句話說，不再需要被平台的限制，而不能安裝軟件，例如，同時安製Final Cut Pro和執行exe檔。
第三，當然是執行快速和穩定的OS Leopard，雖然Vista有8成相似的功能，但卻佔用了大部份的RAM。

不過，現在我既可以用Educational Discount買下這台Macbook Pro，同時亦買下iPod Touch，伹我當然不是如斯富貴啦，而是現在可以rebate這部iPod Touch,　所以間接它是「免費」!!!!!
而精明的我，當然以平價把它出讓給我的同事，這樣，我又可以慳了些少~

錯版

我今天到了Sogo位於十一樓的日本書店，看見一個我一直默默支持的作者的最新作品。然而，在書後列有該作者的作品名稱，發現了一個重大的錯誤。
他出版了「殺人館」系列，「耳語」系列等，但現在卻全印成「殺人館」系列。
（如果大家喜歡「金田一」的話，便會都喜歡他的本格推理小說。）

懶！

不知不覺，原來我已經有足足兩個月沒有更新啦~

寫blog的目的開始忘記了，直至昨晚看到大學同學的blog，令我又再「執筆」。

簡單寫寫這兩個月發生於我身上的事啦。從十一月開始為甚麼會停了寫blog，第一個是OpenDay，今年跟著一位「阿姐」辦OpenDay，做起來尚算輕鬆，因為她會安排好一切，我們幾位同事只需要按她的計劃，準時「交貨」和定期向她交代自己的進度，便可以相安無事（記得一年前，我也是跟她做一個event，但當時我從未跟她合作過，所以我以為我只要做好自己的本份便可以，因而忽略了要向她匯報，因此被她痛痛責罵了一頓（我從未試過）,但結果當然十分成功和順利。）因此今次的合作，我便常常獲得她的讚許，那是當然的，錯了一次總不能再錯嘛！

OpenDay就像我所說的做得容易，但卻正正因為這個event我又要額外應course leader的要求，design一系列的banners。經歷了四個少量改動，便完成了。但，卻不幸因我犯了一個重大的錯，做得不夠完美（雖然問題最終也解決了，但心情有一段時間沉了下來）。

整個十一月就是這樣的渡過了。

十二月開始便開始期待著悠長的聖誔假，整整兩年沒有離開香港（不包括公幹）,連比較近的澳門也沒有到過~灰~
加上臨近學期的尾聲，課堂不但沒有減少，而且要加緊批改功課，粗略估計功課的總數多達1000份。最終又挨到了聖誔假，21號開始，但22日因為要招待交流的學生，報銷了。之後，從24號開作病，然後便從24病到假期完結，都未能完全康復。直到昨天為止，我每晚仍會因咳嗽而半夜醒來~再一次「灰」。

整個十二月也是這樣的渡過了。

但是讓我重申一點, 我只是一位教師, 點解我現在所寫的都跟教學無關的工作...... 最後的一次「灰」。

"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!!

Nodding Jack.
His answer must be "YES YES YES YES"

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.
