bad luck

  1. broke the expensive glasses
  2. no free lift, needed to walk down stairs for over 30 floors
  3. took taxi to pick sister to her school, then to kwai fong station for $25
  4. no 47x route bus for 10 min, took 46x
  5. at shing mun tunnel interchange, wait over 10 min but still no 47x bus, just had a bit of luck to get on a 49x bus where i just stood next to the bus driver
  6. another bit of luck to share the taxi fare with a colleague to the office

but in whole, damned...

September 01, 2004

dumplings 餃子

have just seen the film with dicky this afternoon in gv mongkok. the film is not the traditional eastern terrible movies like 2 other films in the same series. but it shows the attitude of people right now using a terrible view and also the dirty side of mainland china. i think i don't eat any kind of dumplings for days...
met so many old guys in these few days, from mountain to mr kwan... and saw ivan's in his levi's store and talked some stuff heard.
after watching the film, we were just hanging around. i wanna buy sporting shoes but the one i like are too new. it's just shown on milk... i may buy another for work after salary released and the one i like will be for weekends... but i need to handle money much more carefully.

August 28, 2004

careless

  2. the weight hurt cleaning lady...

August 27, 2004

heard the leave of a senior staff, my bad days are coming, more damned OT. i wish i had a better interview on passing monday. :(

Interview @ Central Government House

Post: Contact Technical Officer
Interviewer: 3

actually inside of the house is just like the normal office except a little bit more security procedures. workers were just talking casual stuff when i were waiting to be interviewed

there were 2 parts. 1st is the self introduction using english. then using cantonese to talk about technical stuff. i think i'm not bad after not being interviewed for a period of time. but those technical problems really kick me out of the door (i'm weak and lazy on that)... seems it's not possible to quit the current in a short period.

afternoon i were doing some bank stuff and playing games for today's no pay leave

August 22, 2004

just back from china

we woke up on saturday morning and took breakfast in kwai fong, then we started to go to guangzhou. after being there, first was going to a military hospital to do a small skin operation for my mom.

we went to the elderly house where grandma's living. we were nearly dead!!! why? a damned stupid driver just wanna make a u-turn and nearly hit our taxi by blocking our way. luckily the taxi driver was smart enough but he had a big mouth. we took the dinner with aunt and grandma nearby.

we went to aunt's house in clifford garden to sleep overnight. they are quite many foreigners living there and here is a picture of the undeveloped area of that garden
Posted by Hello

we saw the olympic games but unluckily it's too late to watch the table tennis match which hongkong team gets a silver medal! and also finished studying lord edgware dies. i slept around 1 am but not very good. woke up around 9 am and we had the brunch in a restaurant inside the garden. we took the train back to hongkong. the dirty northern stupid chinese sitting next to me nearly took my seat. damn him. and the stupid shenzhen station, it has only one way to leave (the escalator), so damn dangerous. before going home, we had the dinner in a shatin restaurant.

tomorrow i will go to the central government house.

August 07, 2004

day of computer

after work, i went to sham shui po to help dicky to buy the computer. 1st taking the lunch nearby, then after checking the price with peter west, we found out the cheapest and bought it. but we need to pay back the price by the time. installing hardware by company's technicans waited over an hour. because they cut the cost, they rent a cheap house nearby the computer centre for their technicans office. the ventilation is not good and we still waited over half an hour to get our stuff. dicky and i went back his house to install software and i took the dinner at his home. actually installing software waits more time than installing hardware.
but anyway thx dicky for lunch and dinner. and his family is a bit similar to me. the younger brother/sister is quite trouble in these eras...

inside story (link is the version of newspaper)

truth:
a 3G company interviewed the "team" but... ther stuff is far from the production stage (mainly the size).
i heard in earlier this year. the supervisor of the team leader asked the leader to find a job after finishing the research study. but in the newspaper, he said he will continue to research. i don't know any update of it...
the leader knows a lot of "packging" his results and maybe he learnt from his family background.

August 04, 2004

July 10, 2004

paid dinner

paid dinner for steve with carmen at mongkok. got some news for everyone

bought a USB-IR device but need to do something on my computer before using it

begin to think how much i need to save each month. steve said a thing which i very agree. only 2x years for working, earning is impossible for the whole life without good planning. i paid for transportation, lunch, magazines (milk & e-zone), study debt (said in rich mad, around 1.15 times of  debt), family, and swimming. around 1k left for each month, and i only buy fictions, investment, and management occasionally. besides maybe buy some legos. i need to keep 50-60k for a year living. others will use for investment...

July 08, 2004

new staff in my division & chat with the german

1st new staff in my division after i came in. she's a typist because of the centralization of computer systems (so slow to do it). all girls in my company are not... and i move back to ground floor after a week of going up because of painting on the ground

talk a bit with german of my company using english. talked something about dtm. he seems like motorsport as he knows f1 will race in shanghai this sept and i told him dtm will race there this month... and more about housing. he said renting a house at his home country. the kitchen and the bathroom is not counted on the house size. buying a house just only counts around half of the size... he said hk's developers...

July 04, 2004

spider-man 2

movie not bad (at least i'm not sleeping even i'm so tired). kristen durst is... compare her look in er

p.s. saw a old friend (don't ask me who) and his look is much older than his age, even older than his elder sister... take care of your health

July 02, 2004

handover anniversary

yesterday is the 7th year after hk returning to china from uk. still very hot. morning and early afternoon, i played aa with some clanmates. dinner time met some friends in tsuen wan and chatted together. i really wanna know a bit of cheap ball's new girlfriend. hahaha... how about tonywest's? sheep will be a sales engineer from next mon working in kwun tong. and fat fong found out coby passing us with her boyfriend but i didn't know

today met the german with his wife. (the guy for vde joint venture) he is nice but is english is not easy to listen... sometimes i think if i work beyond hk that's may be good.

June 30, 2004

interviews today

very hot today. i swore a lot

morning was the pccw interview. 5 people interviewed me, one from training, one from hr, and the others from different departments. i think i suck, no chance to get the offer. everyone are asked with their ability of putonghua but not me. i said too much technical but which should be not good. my introduction in english was poor. replys to hr was also bad.

then went back to school's clinic to get the sick leave proof. but the damned doctor didn't give me saying that my body temperature is not high enough!!! waste $13 on her. shit.

lunch with steve and carmen in an italian restaurant in festival walk. steve said somethings about school including tvb news, future projects, and stuff about professors. thx him for the lunch

after that, another interview at kowloon bay, new world pcs. very fast interview but seems to have a 2nd one because she has asked me any more interview in this period which is a sign of further interviewing / giving an offer

finally got a sick leave proof using $150...

June 28, 2004

interview on wed

morning pccw, afternoon nwt, need to take a sick leave (i hope that's only sick leave for this company before i left there)

should go back to school for lunch on that day

June 26, 2004

1st meeting of secondary school's alumni pre-assoication

wing, joanne, jimmy, 7c, and me have come back the secondary school today afternoon to have the meeting. there were over 2x people to join. 1st was the principal to have a speech. then we talked some functions which alumni, the assoication, and the school should do.

next meeting will be on 16/8 (sat) afternoon, and will be talking about the formation stuff. welcome every alumni to come back that day. and check school's site for details

June 25, 2004

contract, interview, & honor

finally signed the contract of the job. it seems no hope to get higher salary as the contract has written down the amount

new world mobile sent a sms to me to ask me to have an interview on tues. besides cascade/pccw left a voice message for the interviewing. i haven't replied yet. i should apply sick leave or vacation leave?

the honor of my bachelor degree has out. as expected, second low

June 22, 2004

macau again

company around 7:20, went to hk-macau ferry pier directly but all tickets before 10pm were sold out. so we (7c, tonywest, and me) took dinner before taking the ship. after an hour trip, we 1st went to the latest casino, "sands", owned by venetian. it is much bigger than casino lisboa and it's las vegas style, show, free drink. we played $600 and lost all... :)

then went to hotel to join other mates. that hotel should be a hostel (5 floors) and it is next to the one i stayed in last x'mas. we booked 3 double rooms for 10 people. :( those couples slept 1st and boys watched england vs croatia. gj rooney. slept at 5:xxam and waked up around 10am

1st went to temple at south. but the weather is too hot for us, so we separated into 2 groups. 1 for "sands" and another to taipa. i went to taipa with ball, hong, and dicky (anymore? but i forgot)... we found a place next to the shore and naive portguese house which is windy and relaxing. then back to city centre and joined back other guys, we bought some stuff and took the ship back

the west thing is forget to that electronic hand-held fan. too hot...

June 18, 2004

day 3 + pccw written test

learnt some new stuff about testing and watched some standards
must boring is pulling the cord and pressing auto-return for over 1000 times, but still have over 10000 times waiting me

left around 5:4x, took a taxi with over $100 fare to kwun tong to do the written test. saw 2 ee and 1 cs schoolmates. as predicted by ryan, i think the paper should be nearly the same as him. 3 long questions are: 1. shopting new tech 2. project management 3. how the company can accept the change of industry

June 17, 2004

2nd day

mainly working on sockets. from dimension, markings, to current leakage. for current leakage, why don't they use a machine to do that but by human hands?

seems to need over 5 years experenice to get promoted to one level...

got phone from pccw to have a written test

June 16, 2004

1st day

orientation for 2 hours, people are not bad but my office cannot receive mobile signal. and then just broke down the desk lamp, inserted thermal couples, finally reassemble it... worked from 9 am - 7:1x pm. 2 men working with me in a new place, but one of them owning high diploma and studying bachelor is still working same as my post for 4 years. he may be waiting to get promoted after getting the bachelor but how about me?

tomorrow need to test short-circuit of socket/plug, but very boring task

pccw phoned me to have a test on the graduate trainee post, but i haven't replied it yet. what should i do?

June 15, 2004

an offer by HKBN

June 14, 2004

2nd interview @ HKBN

i wait over 45 min until the head of the team to meet me...
basically he just asked me very few details and should give me an offer

salary is over my suggestion but need to shift overnight, work anywhere, a bit dangerous. and every half a year has a test to know how much you understand the company for bonus... need ccnp to get promoted and it's not easy to get promoted as not much supervisors left.

Interview @ HK Broadband

Post: Field Technician

tommorrow another interview, test lab under chinese manu. associat. of hk

America's Army 2.1

new version is out and there are some views on it


  1. needs more resources than 2.0, i need to lower my setting (my hardware is p4
    2.4B, 512 ram, gf4ti 4200 64mb)
  2. Character 'Ragdoll' Physics is pretty good, much more realistic
  3. ic: no more 203 spawn, good!!! no of nades reduces to 1, may need more
  4. sf hospital: lag & more resources needed. no nade there gives more space
    for both sides
  5. sf arctic: simple & owning latest stuff: m136at4, if vss, and stryker.
    stryker is cool but need to beware. one shoot from stryker to teammate is enough
    to kick u to prison... & stryker is not strong at all... worrying troops
    using it in iraq
  6. lastly, sf village, got lost, only find 1 of 3 caches... even following
    {nato}chowyun-fat. but it's good for cqb. but no official servers?

June 02, 2004

last grade for my studies

fyp b
digital b
wan a-
passive rf c+

gpa = 3

just listen to the radio, the song singing "you can go your own way..."

June 01, 2004

interview @ school

company is kwonnie, making home application. the interviewer used to make military stuff in america: northern bell, lockheed... 1st he talked about me, (heard from another that he thought i cannot tell the objective of my fyp but i really work not nothing but a dream to publish paper...). then he talked with me many about military, sr-71, rah-66... the time is around an hour, much longer than prediction time: 15 min. the job needs me to go back mainland to stay... 1st year just to learn the work flow...

i just got 2 more mds from joanne... needa listen again

PS. just got corrs' latest album and bought a new cell phone (old one crapped)

May 28, 2004

the day after tomorrow

saw that with forrest in festival walk's amc

1st talk about forrest, his new job (after sales representative?) is in japanese firm (making mic with dominating market share) and he loves the job. no overtime, good supervisor... he said something that i haven't considered before. my mind is still as a student, should be worry and open-minded on job seeking...

now is about the film, it's produced by the one making independent day. but i think it's not so dramatic as independent day. good prediction of the future weather, blaming u.s. government about their environmental policy are cool. but some scenes are not good: why president is the last to leave washington d.c. how come the copters can fly so far from mexico to nyc to pick up people...

next week will have 2 interviews: kwonnie (with the help of the faculty) and hkbn

May 27, 2004

days after interview

no more interview...

saturday got the mds to do some free lance job. finish on saturday. got a reasonable money. thx hong, sheep

sunday nite thx peter west fro the dinner. meet some guys after the exam. good

wednesday sang k and joined mother... tired

today went to job market. too many people. not much hope to get an offer

May 19, 2004

Interview @ Oriental Pluritec

it seems not big company, mainly becomes agent and services of selling foreign cnc machines, and their own brnad machine made in shanghai. 2 men (one should be future supervisor) interviewed me for half hours (longest)

they asked me about exam marks for some time (why to study assoicate degree before...) but not language. they also asked few technical, like what is cnc; what do you think what should be r&d (they make me feel just improve the speed of the machine...)

what will gonna do is that using two years to find out suitable or not in several areas: after sales service ~ furthermore maintenance which cannot be handled by mainland staff; translate menus..., purchase materials for own cnc machines, sales of the machine, and r&d. (including trainings overseas)

they said they will shortlist and may have 2nd interview at end of the month. then offer will be given...

May 18, 2004

swimming

my 1st swimming in this year was at the pool near to my home

not many people there, a little bit windy but water is at suitable temperature, several dead bugs floating on the water. swam about an hour and i feel i got fit.

any of my friend free to swim? call me

May 17, 2004

Interview @ Elec & Eltek

i forgot the right time to interview. i went to there 1 hour earlier. but that's fine. basically she (HR officer) seemed to be hurry, mainly asking personal stuff in cantonese and english. she used half of interview to introduce her company. main culture there is workaholic: needs to work as early as 8:30am and overtime... but newbies should not worry the workload, i need to gain experience!!! she said supervisor is not available but i'm doubt of she... there might be a 2nd interview but need to wait notification.

another interview will be on wed...

May 13, 2004

1st interview

empolyer: asia container terminal (company of CSX World Terminals ~ Sea-Land)
post: Technician (Electrical)

interview is half personal (basic stuff + mind working outdoor to repair machines, working with elder ages with lower academic qualifications, night shift), half technical (ask about projects, plc control)
time: about 45 min (half for filling a form, another for interviewing with HR personnel)

P.S. no demo needed for fyp. it's good

2nd interview will be on monday, Elec & Eltek

May 11, 2004

last day of exam

but not last day of school yet

1st talk back the exam. not bad not good. there is no hope to get an overall good grade before the graduation...

i still need to do the mini project for passive rf (diplexer), and the demo of the fyp. at last the pick up.

then the last holiday before work (how long i don't know but hope not so long). some classmates has got two interviews but none for me...

at home i still need to remove soem old magazines which should be done before, fixes the damned computer (something wrong again)...

May 05, 2004

exam day 2

better than 1st day but cannot compensate the lost made

last will be on may 11, and i hope it be the last exam for my undergraduate

met steve at mtr station, he was going back home...

finally took the 25th anniversary train. it's quite normal train but painted outside and sticked some comparsion pix on the walls of the train.

May 04, 2004

exam day 1

wth!!!!

bad date, bad venue, bad memory

i know nearly all short questions but only worth for 50 marks (but i think i can only at most get 3x marks - just little above passing marks)

but for 2 long questions (25 each), damn. 1st one everyone sucks. that's ok. but the 2nd one, really forgot all stuff, shit. other can do it... god damn curl, god damn maxwell!!!! too late to remember, no time to write right stuff...

p.s. (23xx HKT)

met 7wing when coming back home. his voice is a bit husky. i think he didn't get enough sleep. he said he gonna have driving test tommorrow but still not faimilar to drive and afraid to fail... he got not enough training before the test (just like many others because of money). he said he's finding a new job. some jobs he applied are same as me but he got an reply for written test. Not ME!!! Why? sucking school email system? btw seen someone faimilar but not sure she is the one i know...

April 26, 2004

treat meal, hw, & couples

last sat, ivan and i treated steve an expensive meal in festival walk. today we (ben, carmen, florenece, ivan & i) treated bryan, duncan, and steve another meal in school's restaurant. don't know why they only chose few food. so all were hungry and needed to eat again at 4:30.

for the passive rf homework, this is the hardest one. even the two cleverest gave the wrong answer... i asked the lecturer and he said we should use matlab to find it...

when back home, i met the couples in mtr trains which i knew they have been together for a long time already. they are cow's. they played gba so they didn't discover me. finally i made them aware me when they needa transfer to another train. cow is still so handsome but his gf needs some facials.

i bought the book, "QE", as a gift for ball's trip:-)

P.S. chinese fake products are sold in whole countries except hongkong, macau, taiwan... recent one is making "big head baby". they drunk milke by low-protein man-made milk powder and make their head big, legs and arms short, thin body... they will highly be handicapied...

there are so many poor soldiers in iraq. they got badly armored. from newsweek's article, they are very poor... bad defense secretary... army should not waste money on making games (even i love to play) for recruitment. they should give their soldiers with more tanks... btw the ranger soldier who used to be us football star is dead... being a soldier is pride in front of people but this is bad if you don't get enough support

April 22, 2004

last day of lesson & new monitor

last day of lesson was wan test. we all did cheat (too much needed to remember) and i think the lecturer knew but didn't care. then he said some hints for exam. after that, there are still few things to do: digital communication assignment; passive rf homework and assignment; exam; demostartion of fyp after exam; and seek job...

after 5 yrs, crt monitor finally burnt, it is acer 45e, which uses philips core. so i need to buy a lcd mon. dad paid for me (i didn't request) and it is philips (should be the best nowadays)

April 15, 2004

home silence again

my uncle-in-law & his family have left the midway, my home, to their final destination of their trip - their origin, guangzhou to meet other relatives after 14 years in new zealand

in these few days, they slept here and my mom & dad need to sleep on floor. they woke up early becasue of jet lag. uncle smokes which i don't like.

but they make us to connect other relatives, play & eat everywhere, bought some expensive stuff & i can try to use, play & speak english with lovely niece-in-law...

they will be back on 30 & stayed before they take a plane back to new zealand in early may

st patrick's day

monday, test on digital communications, as expected, not easy. but i think i can pass it. afternoon, made two new antennas, but found out today one has little problems. night, to a toy shop (cartoon figures) with a friend in tsuen wan. it's on the 2nd floor, quite small, with a smell of plastic. but found out some lovely figures... price... not cheap. so we didn't buy any

tues, measurement. not bad.

today, st patrick's day, not good luck but not bad for me. few careless mistakes. waste some stuff...

PS: 24 season 3 shown in hk. kim is a bit thinner & uglier. both she & michelle become sexier... story is a bit unreasonable, after nina, how come another spy in ctu?

finish another story agatha christie's book. next i read will be her masterplace, murder of roger ackroyd

& more corrs' new album details out, please check corrsonline

March 13, 2004

dreams

everybody lives in dreams

my supervisor wanna publish a paper on my results even in theoretical his idea is just impossible...

my dad always wanna earn a lot of money but he doesn't know the right method, & waste in a fast way

my mum wants my dad... my sister to study science subjects, not naughty...

for me, i wanna have a good final semister, get a job.... so many!

P.S. so many agatha christie's books available in bookshops. i wanna buy some but don't yet finish those in my hands.

the corrs is gonna publish their new album, seems i need to waste some money

our favourite motorsport, DTM, has so many stars this year: jean alesi, frank biela, tom kristensen, emanuele pirro, bernd schneider, laurent aiello, heinz-harald frentzen... it's so good. we can see good races this year. hope tvb still buy the right to play freely

March 03, 2004

wan test, fyp, & virus

today there was a test for wan. all questions are just using ur short term memory because just repeating old exam/test questions (lecturers had given those answers already). damn, is girls' memory much better than boys'? ...

i'm lazy for the fyp in this week, because supervisor wants me to get a series of results before moving on. but there is no time for me to do that (4 weeks before presentation) and my antenna basically works...

i have subscribed to u.s. navy news. suddenly i opened my mail box and found an infected email from u.s. navy news (virus is W32.Beagle.J@mm by scanning attachment). i didn't open it and after that, australian denfese department sent me an email saying blocking my incoming email becuase of that virus. what the hell? i didn't send that infected email to any place. who is the asshole writing this virus??? i must kick his ass!!

February 29, 2004

congratulation, ball

this time is the official announcement from ball about his job offer. (i knew that on st. valentine's day) and he will be the mt of dbs. he will be gonna go to singapore for a year in july. (i'm thinking a present now...) so today he treated us today. the restaurant is in chungking mansions which many indians lived there. most of us go inside for the 1st time. we took curry & indian food there. the food is ok but normal chinese may not like the taste as they are different from outside which mostly using se asian/japanese curry. anyway, thx ball!!!

then we went to a pub nearby and we got some beer, playing dices...

gossip from the floor heaven

tuesday afternoon, i needed to exposure the patch antenna on the ground floor. then some year 2 students (few girls & a boy) came for their epd project. the cheap lab techincian came to show off himself in front of girls just like how good the relationship with the bosses outside... after that those yr2 asked him about ias & fyp. but the lab techincian said he was not good to tell them and push this taks to me... cheap man...

wednesday, consuls-general visited, principal had a chance to show off in front of those visitors. when chic chan describing the sar measurement kit, he didn't know what type of fluid which simulates the head. principal then said the name directly... btw., we had heard before they came that even US consulate would come but acutally...

thursday, a phd student sucked. orginally i were wanna measure in the afternoon, but she took the chamber when i were at lunch! normally, i would not be angry with other people, but not she. she didn't know how to use & waited lots of time... 3 hours later was in my turn. i used it for 2 hours, then a co-op student asked me to help him a bit. what do u think who came? she again! she wanted to measure a pattern... i were wanna leave & asked she to help the co-op student. but she even said she just looked but not helped. god damn...

friday, i took my results to meet my fyp supervisor. he often got sick & asked me to wear a mask. that's ok. but i didn't feel he was sick when he was talking about my project. he said my antenna's connection with the probe is ugly & this will make the parasite effect. as far as i know, this only affects high frequency antenna but mine is only for 2.4 GHz. that should make only a very tiny problem... (hope this mean my project near to the end...) then he asked many other things & didn't trust my result... shit. & he taught some methods to improve the performance but i tried in the simulation that they are useless... but a good thing is he allowed me to find his phd student officially which knows patch antenna more than him...

February 21, 2004

bad luck & cold blooded

bad luck is about the fyp, & i am a cold blooded man...

i am following last year fyp from a graduated & my supervisor wanna punish the result on the paper. but how idiot is my supervisor. he could not find the result of a graph was fake even the real result on relative graphs was on the next page in the final report and he gave a- for the project. he asked me to improve it... that's a quite impossible job. do i need to cheat him?

at friday's night, i got home as usual taking mtr in kowloon tong station. i saw two foreign ladies (one over 40, another over 60). they were both carrying luggage. they should use lift instead of escalators but they stepped on the escalators. i just stood next to the old lady. she wanted to move down to join the younger one. however she cannot pull down the luggage. and i didn't have any action or realize something i should do until a true light school girl came to help her. suddenly i felt i am so bad and stand away immediately after the escalators brought me to the platform. what the hell am i?

haha


today i had a talk with my fyp accessor. not bad, he is more cleverer than my
supervisor...

February 01, 2004

by request

god damned the system, can't save my stuff.

something between chinese new year & now

on the eve, we went to festival flower market at victoria park. there were lots of people. and many things are sold: houses, flowers, toys, anti-government stuff... we left around 2am and ate nearby, back home around 4am.

2nd day after new year, went to temple to pray gods, wong tai sin & che kung. che kung has more and more people because the prediction for hong kong had been so real for last year. it predicted bad and then sars came. btw this year the luck of the place is medium...

3rd or 4th day, sick (again on Feb 4th)

Jan 27, a day before the end of the school holiday, started the fyp again. chaning the content, but is still difficult because that is a bad idea thought by my supervisor and i need to finish it!!!

Jan 31, lam fong birthday. we went to play bowling in the afternoon (bad luck to see a stupid university schoolmate). then at night, we watched the show at victoria harbour, symphony of light. the buildings are too far away, some too high (e.g. IFC), some too low / small (e.g. City Hall). & the narrative is too disgusting... finally we ate at a japanese restaurant.

January 20, 2004

fyp again

since results of the measurement is far that from the simulation. the current one is cut. my supervisor assigned me to continue the work that last year guy unfinished...

i tried the special coffee of the lunar new year by pacific coffee. it's not big special (latte plus double expresso with nuts), but a shape of its logo is on the bubble....

January 17, 2004

IELTS

i wasted over $300 to buy a book to train me before the exam because school's free copies are all underlined by others. Is it worth? ok, but not for $300...

i woke up before 6am, then arrived at kowloon bay at near 8am. the signal for the shuttle bus to the venue is not very good. i needed to ask the security/information desk for several times. but the bus came quickly. it is owned by sun bus, a kmb company. i checked in and waited until 8:50 outside the exam room. at 9, the exam started.

1st was listening test. it is easy. but i heard someone couldn't follow after the exam finished. then is reading. luckily i recently read some books (agatha christie's poirot series) to improve my reading skills, so my speed was not slow and i finished it 15 minutes earlier than allowed. i found the one on my right hand side used a lot of time to underline which is the method for a-level. and i assure that that is not useful here. you should read whole message and get a main idea 1st. writing is the last one before lunch break. my vocabularies is still a weak point so that task one's mark should not be so high. i think task 2 is better. the topic is about universities should prepare students for empolyment. and we need to write 2 sides of view, and my own view.

i went back cityu for lunch because i had 3 hours before the speaking test. i took with the phd student and he told me secrets of people (including himself), tricks for fyp and seeking jobs.

i came back at 3 and i got the exam earlier because the one who should exam in front of me is absent. the examiner is called charles. i found from the mark sheet that everybody sucks at task 2 which is explaining the idea from the topic of the card. i suck too. only grade 6 is given. the topic is choosing newspaper or magazines for the favourite, explaining with reasons, which parts you study most, what kinds of people would read... i spoke about 1'30". last part is grade 7, is interaction about the topic between me and him. i couldn't see the mark of the 1st part, interaction about myself, but i think around 6 or 7 is given as i saw those previous marks...

January 11, 2004

last entertainment for the last semseter break

we song lunch karaoke together. there are six friends toally: ball, me, tony, jimmy, martin & his girlfriend joy lam.

then ball and joy bought the same mobile phone, nokia 3200 for their own. both lost their phone recently and one of the service providers provided refunds if they use the service and buy the phone there. the refund is $700.

then we played some electronic games at a games station nearby. i won twice at motor racing but sucks at typing of the dead.

then we were shopping at bossini again. joy, tony, & ball (again) bought somethings. and ball bought a bag at a small shop...

January 10, 2004

CRE

sucks.

jimmy, ball & i went together at kwai fong. but i nearly came late. not good traffic here. when i got on the bus to kwai hing, the crapped minibus which went to kwai fong directly appeared. shit. there are other people i know, like cs angie, ee victor, someone used to tudy self studying room with us at secndary...

attitude: ok; use of chinese: bad, even our chinese expert said hard; use of english: not so good, it's a bit like a-level

after exam, ball and me went to kwai fong and we were shopping in bossini. he bought some & i bought a belt. then we went to starbucks. we saw joanne and joy lam outside waiting minibus. tthey didn't discover us and we phoned them as ball for joy & i for joanne. :-) before left, we discussed about the 1st few years after graduation, we agree it's hard to have some savings at that period. many need to be paid.

btw, ball and i think love actually's song, christmas is all around, rocks. :->

2 tv shows recommened on sat: rthk's 女人多自在2, the US's queer eye for straight guy

January 06, 2004

two little things

finally make a workable antenna (not simulation, is real!!!), but not very good indeed. whatsoever i hope this small step is really useful for the future.

the grade is out. it's ok. but others are even better... i think i'm really not the kind of the person to study engineering. or i often perform poor in the examinations... i should study arts or biology or even computer science that i can get a better result. however the hk education system can't help you to show the right way to study because of exams, exams, and exams!!! those exams are just using your small memory (you can imagine only 10% of brain are really used throughout the life and you should figure out how many are for the memory) only.

January 04, 2004

last photo taking

there are so many people appeared this time, like 7wing, miss tsang, elder brother and two policemen.

actually we only take photos at few spots as nearly all of us are tired because of work (how can france allow so few working hours - 35? only chinese/japanese work so long).

then we went to causeway ceo neway to sing karaoke. the price is reasonable. the room includes separate toilet and RF mics. but those mics suck, either poor connection or the sound is bad...

our dinner is Xiaonanguo Imperial House. it is a shanghaiese restaurant suggested by ball but he didn't eat with us! there is a smell of vinegar and the food is too salty for hong konger. but it's not bad acutally. the price is not expensive.

i think we guys will not meet each other for a period of time. everyone is busy on own things, work, study...

January 03, 2004

love actually

a movie even better than the lord of the rings 3. no boring scenes. in this movie you can find not only love between men and women, also brother and sister... the movie actaully concentrates on a place, "the street". all are living on the same street

luckily we can see the film before it is put into discs. the stories of the film is excellent, the stars too. not just only english actors, also american. elisha cuthbert, "kim bauer" in 24 also acts. but not all people should see it

recommend (from nearly must to should): wants to show the love to the one doesn't know; couples; loves british comedy

not recommend: just be alone; alone for a long time; doesn't like dirty language & scenes

where we saw is olympian city's broadway. the seat is comfortable and the sight is not blocked by the front. very good.

tomorrow is the last photo taking of university graduations: hku!

January 01, 2004

new year eve

happy new year

just like last year, we went to tuen mun bbq site to celebrate. but this year we had fewer people, some needs to work in mainland, some need to celebrate with their girlfriends alone. totally there are 12 + 1 people joined.

btw i need to say sorry to someone, making him unhappy.

December 29, 2003

day of bad luck

life has highs & lows, but everyone wants no lows appeared

today quite sucks. 1st i went to mongkok to take new glasses. on the street, i stepped on a gum... then the shop said that the glasses doesn't come yet...

then went back to school to do the fyp. 1st i still don't use which slide should be used (shame)... then technician said time's up... but the worst thing was mixing the identity card... why? the card is used for the log-in card of the lab

December 28, 2003

macau trip

one sentence for macau: a china town with little portuguese feeling & it's fading, even faster to become normal china town than hong kong...

we left hong kong yesterday around noon. the ship is fast. it can run 60km range only in 1 hour . but the immgration is so slow in macau side. & this feeling cannot leave our mind in macau nearly. this may be the slow living style of portuguese & mainland chinese. then we went to the hotel (hotel royal) to check in. it said it is a five-star class but we think it is not repainted after it opened. then we went to 大三巴. this is a miracle of the god. it used to be a church. after three fires, only the front not burnt & it becomes the symbol of macau. then we ate lunch (actually tea, but size of lunch) at a restaurant on 大街. the restaurant cooked much better than hong kong's. no msg is added. the owner gave a lot of name cards to us and she wanted us to promote her shop. then we visited 新馬路, 十月初五街 (nothing so special) and then casino lisboa. we won the backgammon and lost some at the 老虎機. but we still won some. dinner was at a "portuguese" restaurant at old town of 氹仔. it's not very portuguese actually. only one or two dishes are special.

we took a free breakfast buffet at hotel in the next day morning. then we went to the motorsport & the wine museums. the museums can only accept macau pataca... and all staff are portuguese. they know only little cantonese/chinese. the motorsport museum is small but still has some good things. we got a free drink in the wine museum per adult. so we had red wine, white wine & rose wine. white one was the best, having more fruit taste and less liquor. then we went to 新馬路 again and sat inside a starbucks at 議事亭前地 after the lunch in a small restaurant. we sat there for over two hours lazily and bought the gifts. mon then said we went to a thai restaurant for our dinner. and we walked thru 筷子基, then we ate at 黑沙環. dad said 筷子基 changed a lot after he came to macau before stayed in hong kong about 2x years. after the dinner, we went to the fier and took a early ship back to hong kong

December 25, 2003

days before x'mas

merry x'mas to everyone

last sat: watched lord of the rings 3. i think it should be the winner of coming oscars. the worst is the last part, used too long time to tell the human age. btw anyone wanna see love actually?

sun: went to lego show. the fans made a big city by their own - it think the price of those lego is at least around HK$10,000 . the official sucks a bit, the main attraction is by the fans. they only sell some japanese made lego cutie stuff. i bought one, it is a key chain, costs me HK$40...

mon: back to school but only do very few things on fyp. asked a phd student about the elective selection. he suggested me not to take rf subject but i am now doing rf fyp!!! however rf subjects are not easy and one of the teachers always make mistakes on his exam papers... i really need to think which subjects i should take.

tue: mainland factories trip leaded by school chair professors. 3 factories were visited. 1st is LED display "COTCO" owned by GP group. the factory build LED for traffic lights, display boards... they owned one in seattle with over million LEDs. and they can fulfill the requirement of color by IBM and coca-cola!!! hk company is not weak. 2nd is wire factory. it builds every types of low frequency electric wires, from computer cables to UTP, STP. even sony uses their lines for their TV, PS2. 3rd and the last is ZTE, country owned communication factory. over 17000 staff with 75% of them owning at least bachelor degree. over 500 owing phd. they made from hand phones to base stations to soft switch... their products can compete with those big names.

yesterday: hair cut & change eye glasses

December 19, 2003

exam finished

exam is finished, good!

before exam, fever nearly kicked me. but lucky it's over. and i applied the intern engineering of cathay pacific. any chance? i really don't know. and during revision period, my dvd-rom & cd-rw drive are down...

1st subject is enginerring in society. one word for it, remember.

2nd subject is lan. that's funny, because the lecturer gave an extra 'lecture' just the night before the exam, and the questions in the tutorials and in this lecture are exactly the same as the exam. he even told us the keywords which will be asked in the exam. another subject requested the memory.

3rd is wireless communication. my supervisor's part is quite ok even i only got 24 marks in the test. but another part is not so good. cheap lecturer, he cheated us. we (even our top guys) replyed on his hints because his poor teaching.

last is microwave techique. his hints and the hand written paper allowed did help. but the level is a bit harder than last year. many including me didn't finish the whole paper...

today 1st installed a new cd-rw drive. then i got my passport. it's wasting time. the effiency is so slow. our government should not cut the budget... finally get some chinese medicine to make me fully recovered from fever.

i'm writing the application form of icac. haha, trial & trial

i have bought the fourth agatha christie's book, and it's the 1st poirot book, "the mysterious affair at styles". and this is the 1st time i bought thru online, yesasia.com. it's fast & the price is just the same as bookshops. i bought theu online because i cannot find any copies of that editon in bookshops. But one thing you need to remember, please use your id card name in the mailing address, otherwise you will have a bit of trouble! that's my case. because i weren't in home, i need to take it @ post office but i used my 'nick' name for the posting address...

tommorrow i'm gonna watch lord of the ring 3 even i haven't seen others before. how about µL¶¡¹D3? no one wants to watch with me

next tuesday from 7:30am to 7:30pm i'm gonna join the trip arranged by microwave techique's lecturer to visit three companies in mainland. let's see how strong they are...

November 23, 2003

another photographing

today was another set of photographing. turtle, ray & 肥阮 were the key guys.

美亞only has very few dolls for us to choose, so we selected the one same as chris. sorry for that.

we took 63m to lingnan uni at around 12:4xpm. it is surrounded by high buildings (cityu is gonna like that). the budget is really lso ittle? maintenance is still working but some small lakes(pools) are not filled. we wasted a lot of time on eating at school restaurant. so we took not many photos then we went to bu. and we took few there and disband.

the next and last stop is gonnabe hku, should after the exam...

ball is thinking a camp on new year. will it happen?

November 16, 2003

test

today i needed to go back to school to have a test by my fyp supervisor. there are many people in the school to take graduation photos.

the test sucks, over 80% are calculation... even i knew how to calculate, but the result is wrong... damn...

i met samuel when i went back home. he just likes before. no big change

November 13, 2003

graduation day

today is the graduation day for all science & engineering students in my school (including jimmy, next year i will be), but is a bad day for me

i lost my pencil bag, which contains a calculator (over HK$1xx), some newly bought rubber, correction ink, pen... i also lost some fresh white paper at lab together. i thought there is a thief there...

dicky said the good day will come. i hope so, because the test of the course by my supervisor will be taken on Sun. i will miss my favourite macau gala motor race... btw, i will see him tomorrow to change my fyp project as he said last time.

November 03, 2003

graduation photo taking

actually dicky has said nearly all the things

http://www.freeopendiary.com/entryview.asp?authorcode=A728652&entry=10342

it's a bit odd when joanne's boyfreind has come. we don't even spell his name!!! & he's a bit... i don't know how to say.

in my university, i even met a assocaite degree graduate (which i used to take that degree). she's a bit unlucky, some illness made her the graduation delay...

comparing three universities, mine is the smallest. but it's most comfortable (small & air-cond). even the toilets are the newest & cleanest... hahaha

we found out that maxim's has different strategies in different universities. in mine, it's a part of the canteen; in ust, it's a restaurant!



p.s. i forgot to put my student id card back to my wallet. so i can't login to library today...

i love dido's new album more. really need a long time to feel it. really don't know why hk singers can make so many albums/EP in a short time

October 31, 2003

fyp

today i just talked with my supervisor and he said what i'm doing now won't be any breakthough in technology. and i could only get pass if i still focus on it. he said i just improve the result and he will deliver another project so i can get higher marks. omg, what i have done is wasting my time???

i'm gonna busy from next week, tests, assignments, lab reports... until exam. no public holiday is at that period... the road is not easy...

the big four, agatha christine's book, is very hard to read compared with 'cat among the pigeons'. previously i saw bbc site saying that her per-WWII books are better post ones. i really believe that. poirot only appeared in 'cat' at late stage and did little. but in 'big four', he is the centre of the story, nearly every chapter has an investigation. and the words are much more difficult for me to read...

October 26, 2003

ocean park

yestreday night we went to the ocean park where it has a halloween party. there are tons of people. we have been in 2 ghost houses but they are so scary or big. a bit of disappointment. but we played mine rail which is goood although we have lined up for about 2 hours and missed ferris wheel and raging river...


after leaving ocean park, we went back to tsingyi to eat. btw the taxi driver packing us to hk station asked everythings from ocean park to mtr. he even didn't know what is the different between airport express and tung chung line.


thx everyone for the present. i really love them.

October 24, 2003

birthday

today is my birthday. thx everyone.


monday celebrated with university friends among 2 other whose birthday is on 22nd. my gift is a side bag.


maybe brithday gives me luck, thrusday a phd candidate helped my fyp project. finally i can realize what i'm doing. & supervisor didn't challege me.





i have finished the book: the french mistress was killed because she knew the 1st kill and wanted to raise some money from killer. poirot knew the princess in the school was fake. julia's mother's back and pointed out the killer. the killer wanted to kill her but miss chaddy got the bullet. the killer's head's secretary and she was a spy at wartime. she wanted the jewels. but she's not responsible to the 2nd kill. miss chaddy's the murderer for that kill. she's co-founder of the school and afraid the successor taking her school. finally the jewels had handed to the wife of the prince in the uk.


i have bought another agatha's book, the big four. i'm now watching it.

October 16, 2003

hk electronics fair

today is the last day of the fair and we got the ticket from one of my professors. we went to there after the lab. there was big, many things to see, but it's really not for the consumers. we saw some funny stuff. they are 2.4 GHz wireless speaker, and a 'fan' style LED display (they put LEDs on fan ~ no wind during turning, but the image can move even the LEDs' positions are changing). jimmy was there as a representative but i didn't notice. so i didn't find him.


then we took the ferry to tsim sha tsui. there are many foreigners which finished their jobs in the fair (i mean they are buyers) and take a look for the victoria harbour. after back on land, we played few rounds of electronic games before going back to school.



for the book: school nearly stopped functioning. julia found the jewels of the royal family. she felt danger and found the detective poirot to help her. head has chosen the successor. the french mistress was a bit strange.

October 10, 2003

luck day

today is the demo of our lego. luckily, we have finished & demostrated without errors. it's so good.


then drawing for the remaining of the lego project (actually onlt batteries). i got all brand new one (2 batteries) with probability of 25% (4 out of 16). this is the 1st time i got so good in the drawing.


@ lecture by my supervisor, nothing is happened to me. lucky


when i took bus to go back home from kwai hing mtr, this is the 1st time for me i saw miss leung (vice principal of my secondary school. now is the principal of the school near to me) after moving.



hk is gonna be cold, wind is blowing, rain is falling (worrying about tommorrow trip).


for the book, the content just seen: wanna ask one of pupil's mother (used to be spy @ wartime) to help, but she is in turkey. the princess has been kidnapped. another teacher is murdered.

October 08, 2003

i'm damned

i had a poor sleeping the night just gone, waked up extremely early but not very tired (hell)... then went to chinese restaurant to have tea with parents in kwai fong


then i went back school @ noon, made lego and did rf homework. i must damn those south asian foreigners for maintaining the lego. they didn't tell us to check the lego when they handed to us, so there are not enough motors, light sensors... they gave us black face when we complained. after that we found his head (another chair professor). maybe he gave them pressure & they found us in a polite way...


today i heard the talk about ielts. shit i can't get the email about this. but luckily my groupmates went & i followed (so stopped building lego for the moment). deadline is next weekend....


tmr i'm gonna find fyp supervisor for weekly report, but nothing really has done because of lego. i only find some details for some terms...


dido's life for rent is ok i think, but not as attractive as 1st album cos the style is similar... white flag likes here with me, which tv series roswell had used for theme song. i loved other songs, especially last two.


i have finished over half of the agatha christie's book. it says the head wanna find successor as she thought she's feeling dull, but hard to find. there was a murder killing sport mistress in sport house. maybe related to the jewels from prince as a relative (princess) is here. btw damn is not a dirty word, i saw it twice in the book.

dad service

today i had a service ordered by dad, that is computer maintenance for his friend's family. that is my 1st time to sit inside a mercedes. mercedes is much different compared with the japanese car i have sat. it's comfortable, fast & feeling safe: airbags, fast braking...


computer problem is very small, just worm welch. but the daughter has moved some files carelessly so i need to help her to use norton windoctor to tell windows the new location of programs. besides installed the anti-virus program... during that time, i discussed with her about jupas....


we ate dinner (火煱) together we drank beer, took a lot of food. i still feel stomach cannot handle them...:>

west day

today totally sucked...

all are during my fyp supervisor's lecture.

i bought a cup of coffee before the lesson in school. but god damned they've made it with too hot water (should be 70-80 degrees as i know for ordinary including starbucks coffee). to the guy familiar to the starbucks coffee, my mouth got boiled!!!!!! it's a bad indication.

later in the lesson i got picked out because i talked too much!!! but actually not... even i did talk a bit, the stupid guy next to me who did print notes always cross in front of me (i.e. lie over the table) to check another one notes. shit, shit, shit!!! my image is even worse in front of supervisor even i have asked him some useful questions about the lecture.
the story i have read in agatha christie's book until now: the prince & his english friend were dead. friend's sister family went back to england without knowledge of carrying prince's jewels. sister's daughter went to the school mentioned before. many know jewels were carried by sister family and used various methods to get back

next week is gonna be busy. lego design, fyp, lab, chair professor & supervisor's lecture homework...

poor image

today is my 1st weekly report to my fyp supervisor. i show him some graphs... but he asks me whether you really know what you are doing. i can only reply in a bad way... i need to prepare a list of Q&A before finding him.

in the lesson taught by chair professor, he said my vice principal had counted out that quantites of journals by our dept's (EE, CityUHK) professors are the 2nd of the world top 500 universites (by shanghai jiao tong university) just under UC Berkeley. another time to show him 吹水 techinque. haha


the story i have read in agatha christie's book until now: a revolution in middle east (how she knew that happens nowadays in 1959), the jewels of original royal family are taken to england by the prince's english friend's sister. & the school i mentioned before has accepted the princess from that country to study there.

無間道2

not good, like the friend saw earlier than us

the story line just describes the background for the 1st movie. except the bloody screen, nothing special we saw that @ 10:15 in tsing yi, where the last one for yesterday. when it finished, time is 00:20!!! i just got the MTR to kwai hing and need to take a taxi back home... shit bus company
btw i think the trailer before the movie is attractive, it's a terrible film gonna be shown on halloween period. the story is about there are 7 people going to an amusement park own by ghosts after 14 years without people going...
