plain but in a city so dead

nearly cannot find right clothes to back work & missed the last bus. met the colleague in the bus and continuing blaming our company. lol. got a can of coffee to flush me up. another colleague said saw me in causewaybay on sat and asked me about the hair cut. omg. my eye-sight is so bad and i need to tune my glasses again? anyway he is not so attractive to be seen and her girl friend is in little size. and anyone walked besides me and i didn't find you out please don't blame me!!! 1st to do was to water the santa claus' car using non-standard stuff. but anyway same as the deers, it failed the electric strength test (too prevent the current flowing to non-live parts). the put it to the tempature rise test. began to replace the failure fan. so fast, my lunch time came. so stupid to order a mini-pizza. expensive & too damn small. but others taught me how to feel full with coke. haha.

afternoon i think now was wasting my time and luck was turning down. did much minor stuff but actually nothing has been done. really forgot what i've done that time now. but those things made me not leave early. more bad luck when leaving. saw no one waiting 47x, so i went to wait 48x. but after getting on 48x, saw a 47x coming in front and flew away. so damn slow was the driver. just wanna fxxk him! used so much time to back home and my shuffle played whole no angel & 4th song of life for rent (i.e. life for rent). but something good to know poirot will be shown on atv world on coming sunday 9:00pm. it's five little pigs (not yet seen the book since it's published in war-time and i still stick before that period).

pig

today didn't go out. like a pig laying inside the home. surfin' the web; searchin' jobs; playing computer games; watching tv; putting songs to shuffle; reading; & the most important sleeping like a pig for around two hrs in the afternoon!

just the news report talking about some youths in hk being a pig just like japs. no work, no study. only eat & sleep. someone should kick their ass to make them move!

before sleep last night. listening the radio and heard something a bit abnormal. a man wanna chase a girl and the girl allows him to take her hand & kiss her face but not her lips. so the man doesn't know what should be gonna do and asked djs. i only think it's funny

hair cut

today was rather free even at work. no supervisor because of training something like "how to deal with asshole customer" (i may need to learn how to deal with every asshole stuff). just burnt a fan motor for abnormal test. checked it to prevent touching movable parts. and did a temp rise measurement for light chains. and work never ends. few new stuff came but not yet start to kill them. but not doing that may harm everybody. just like one of my partners is doing a portable clothes dryer which has been already chosen by a credit card company as a promotion product!

took an expensive lunch at seiyu. then to causewaybay to find hair stylest to fix my hair. but too busy to care me. i need to walk for 2 hrs on streets. 1st to sogo to have a look for ivan's levi's store. he's care to his business. while chuen as a part time was not in mood. he will start to work again on monday so he wanna take a break on sunday and asked me to replace him. nah to him of course. i did wanna buy some stuff there to win tickets for avril lavigne's court on coming friday. but no one would wanna see with me so i forgot it. then to victoria's park and found not many playing model ships. took another expensive meal at park's kiosk (not so good service to all kind of people). and walked nearby for a few moment before having the hair cut. quite fast and i fell asleep. to citysuper again and buy weak flour for mom. it's put at chinese /asian food instead of baking stuff.

saw some celebrities today, two artists and one writer. 1st is a tvb female artist when i came to sogo. she was having heavy make-up and saying bye to her mom? when i left citysuper i met tao jie. looked like just woke up, he was searching something there (lady - that's me or his family). he's around 5' 10" high. last is an atv female artist at mtr station. she should be going to the party

more on chains

those chains are in plastic grass with iron skeleton using low voltage provided by an transformer. can go outside so i need to test with this feature. one word: trouble. size too big so that cannot fulfill the standard (our lab is trying to be a cb lab with help of our partner).

those ive students came to do fyp again. and our boss (a talk ass) waited their time to sell our lab hardly. shit!

christian related

happy st. patty day everyone. but not me! lonely & need to work hardly. the loyal workaolic thinks every taking sick leave is finding another job... crazy! just finished retests of old customer's luminaire (not stable quality. don't buy them!). doing 2 more.

1st is box fan. just gave us god damned new synchronous motor and i need to take out the old one and replace just because the movable guard is too big! they just do too much. not just renew the guard, but also the motor and i need to do all stuff again!

2nd one is from our big boss. some christmas light chains with 3 different style deers and one santa claus sitting on the deer car. too damn big to put into our equipment. but seems a bit easier to do than fan.

60335 should the troublest standard on earth. so many tests with tough requirement from supervisors and our partners (french & german) but can only get very few money back. what the hell that nearly every household products are guarded by it. so safety testing must rely on related jobs mainly. life is much easier for emc. 20 jobs per day can be done for a small lab. 1 job can be done in 20 days at our side is pretty good.

wasted!!!

what i mean is waiting my sick leave for a nearly useless interview

interview @ CITIC Telecom 1616 Limited
time : 4pm
people: technical guy who used to study a part-time degree with fyp under prof luk

place is nice! only used 15 min to interview & i spoke much more than him (my performace is even better than him).

damn things:

1. salary: 8000
2. shift: 3 shifts on mon - fri. 2 12-hr shifts on sat or sun
3. application form: not that company name which means possibly when i got an offer i will sign the other company
4. he said he interviewed many people (shows how small i am in his eyes!)
5. no need to check my academic genuineness

haha took fat's chocolate from his table. thx

great in festvial walk kicked away?

something many hk companys cannot do

dinner with u mates

with unexpected fai ho

in debt

paid too much in these two months:
shuffle
medical
coat
parties
traveling
eating
family contribution
fees (including loans!!!)

all salary gone :(

sick leave

just woke & felt foot pain. with running nose. mom geeting her leave asked me to take a leave too. and i agreed. later on to the doctor to fix it. took a nap again during that time. and then to cityu to see guys. took the grad pix and put them to ivan's shops. back home now

forgot to mention we celebrated carmen's birthday with karoake buffet last sat~~

and finally...

after the blog below, updated software (why always have updates every week?). took a short nap when tired (too early woke up but late sleep last night). played the game for a while (get respected as a clan member ) then went to see doctor to fix me (too weak i am). took some food nearby after that. took MTR to causeway bay. first to renewed citysuper. it expands by kicking pageone to 9th floor of the same building (i will talk about it later on). finally finds garlic butter from new zealand and just bought it without any hesitation!!! and from a separate bakery but inside the supermarket area used over a half hundred to buy four breads. three are just simple but and one is donut. it is smallest pageone in hk yet until phase 2 finished in may but the design makes you think they won't sell books to normal people anymore. had a trip on the tram to central. very crowded so cannot take some photos on this sunny day. camera was finally useful on the ferry. the view was cool and the wind was cold.~ some pix are posted here and then back home.

thx god to make sunday the rest day (should be saturday, but other religion affected christians - i forget the source). stay away crappy work; listening lovely songs from shuffle; reading books (finished part one of chinese version rich dad and the abc murders nearly); & watching people behaviour. all these make my soul relaxed (but not my body). but tonight i still need to waste my energy for job hunting.

coast

QEII (according to cunard, she will leave tommorrow)

weather is very good

i think this is the best day in this year!!! has a far will. nearly no clouds in the sky. lovely

must go out to take a breath!

here are some views:

learn

i find myself hard to learn things

i don't know whether i hate them? or too tired? or not concentrated on those? or too many other things wanna learn so that cannot be good on one thing?

...

3 more lego bricks from mom. cos of some stuff of her working place, she got them easily

a foreigner got a shuffle and we were looking eye to eye each other in shatin...
one thing needed to complain: you need to have the songs in your computer when you connect the shuffle. otherwise all songs are gone...

wet

my home is very wet now. there are water drops forming from ceilings. all air conditioning is opening...

tried the shuffle. sound is good. but there is a small nearly unvisible scar on the case

got my ipod shuffle

thx hk post because some part of my home address on the parcel is missed.

2 questions

1. how long to charge for 1st time?
2. need to fill the warranty card? (to beijing?)

after first day

after first day, damn things come

ot, ot, ot. due to poor management, those samples are already received over a month and nothing has been done. finally finds me, a n00b on that test to do it in a hurry. what the fuck!!! i'm gonna break down. this job needs both physical and mental energy and makes me tired everyday with so much ot. salary is not high and ot wage has been cut a lot. and finish the annual review. they said they have a high expectation but a bit not fully understand to teach people. this is because i learn only for the job, not for life. but i will learn a bit more than before leave if i'm happy at that moment.

my ipod shuffle is on the way. but i may need a cover to protect it. i've got some funny ideas about covers. ask me. (but there is something similar in the market...)

1st working day in year of rooster

what i can say: not bad. but still need to find another

P.S. M$ finally kicks its own ass to upgrade IE.

anymore missing from this chinese new year holiday

today is the last day. let me review what i'd done

1. woke up late, played both games
2. not yet check how much i gain from lai see ($960, updated on Jan 20)
3. got some beer with wests, nice to see ball looking smart, singing karoake
4. got a coat, ordered ipod shuffle finally after 勁煕 bought one
5. met someone unexpected & heard something i should not hear
6. started to find new job
7. read half of the both books

meet the fockers

finally on cinemas in hk. no boring scene. it's good.

7246

just got it when i bought newspaper in convenient store

size a bit odd. the arm is too big, but with new components (is that new?) to fix the arm not falling down

year of rooster

this is the third year of rooster after birth. first was my year of birth. second was the first year in secondary (last year in primary).

last day in the year of monkey, only needed to work half day. then went to tsimshashui. asked one of the apple centers and still needed to pre-order ipod shuffle if wants to pay the official price. i'm still thinking to buy or not... bought the genuine rome total war for a cheaper price. stayed at home for the night. slept around 1:30.

woke up near 8 this morning. took breakfast with mom. and bought a cup of coffee from starbucks and back home. got a surprise phone call and someone has come back for a week!!!

mistakes

i hate mistakes but i'm not a careful guy. what can i do to work in a safety lab? not hurt me only (luckily not yet to go to the hospital), but my supervisor need to take my bad... not good to work in this industry?

P.S. first red pocket money from our german colleague

dinner for wests

yesterday morning i ought to be at home but still needed to work with a tired body so that minor mistakes occured. damn those workaholics, their life nearly is only work and sleep. please go to hell!!! the company sets a impossible target on a sliding market, even those workaholics felt tough...; their salary is lower than average in the business; our supervisor is not an easy-going guy; they cannot enjoy all the annual leaves they are allowed; and the most important thing is that is not their business!!! they get no shares. it's not worth for them to work so damn tough.

dinner with wests to celebrate birthday of cheng and fong at mongkok's 王家沙 and 西貢滿記 dessert (mongkok again). talked with dicky about those workaholics and we hated them! after that we took a look of mongkok's lunar new year fairs.

some pix:

dunk lows & poop

dunk lows in my home are in bad luck. the one worn by my sister got pooh when she just bought and wore them in macau... too much poop outside my workplace as garages are on the opposite side and they love having dogs as guards but not teaching them to behave right. when i was going to take lunch yesterday. big fresh poop was not found out and i stepped on it... damn. i need to wash it when went back to workplace...

annual dinner for my team was on that night at mong kok's 譚魚頭. why the hell they like hot-pot so much? already started late for waiting my partner finishing his lessons. and too damn many were there already so that served us slowly. i went late back home and feel very tired.

ipod shuffle is available now in hk

but the price in one of the electrical appliances chain stores ($1398 for 1GB and the last one should be sold out) is much higher than that in hk apple's online store ($1170, check the title link). Is that worth to buy at the chain stores?

annual dinner

tonite at a club hosue in new world centre.

still in bad luck. no prize got from lucky draw... even my division got the top 3 prizes (totally worth for $7000). DAMN!!!

Sometimes You Can't Make it On Your Own

a song U2's Bono describes his dad which many also have the same characteristic in their mind

chinese new year holidays

from afternoon of new year eve to six days after the new year. but need to use two days annual leave... i will stay in hk. any activities in that period?

new printer

HP PSC 1210 (HK$720 only, with a mug and a punch of 4R photo paper)

any free fax software using TCP/IP network?

hard to find a new job even i hate the current one

1. don't know which way i should go, so no job is attractive... (anyone can help me?)
2. too tired after OT every workdays
3. not bad relationships with colleagues
4. careless makes me loss spirit (except online stuff: AA, online shopping...)

sick

stomach inflected by flu... could not eat and all stuff out from mouth and asshole without digestion...

took 2 days sick leave...

new year

eve:

dinner with secondary mates at Six Dings Kee Rotary Hot Pot in Olympian City II next to the olympic station. after that we were hanging there and saw the countdown show by stars of 皆大歡喜. so damn winding there in a coldest new year for the past 43 years... we went to lam kwai fong. still have many going there around 1am just like us. too expensive for us to sit and drink there so we walked a circle and went back home.


largest x'mas tree in hk

new year:

late wake up around 11am. then went to sing karaoke around 3. hot pot dinner with family

still busy after x'mas

yesterday nite 1st to kwun tong with dicky and bought a pair of dunk low at factory outlet. then to mongkok to search the restaurant for tonight's dinner. walked a bit to the market and boguht hot pot food and did that at dicky's home with secondary schoolmates

tonight took dinner with university mates. chatted a lot. food was not quite enough. sorry...

fixing computer

still fixing...

no time to write yet...

nearly done now (dec 26 20:00)

but my broadband line not very stable. need to relogin every 10-30 min. need to phone the customer service

(P.S.) forgot to say i just got bonus with salary few days ago. earlier than normal months.

x'mas party

this year i joined a party organised by assoicate degree mates. they booked an upstairs cafe since they knew the owner well. a bit odd to go there after disconnected for around two years. but become better when starting to play winning eleven 8. and happy to play card games. left around 3am.

hope join them more

saturday

not join colleagues for bbq. (just wanna see how our german did in chinese style bbq)

just gone to fix glasses. how come in bad luck. no one working to break glass but i did. after that thx ivan for the discount of the jeans (for him & me, i cannot tell you what brand and how much discount)

bad luck

glasses broken because of work. ($260 to get a new glass) need to buy a cheap one for work

this job makes me bad luck. computer failure and glasses broken twice...

p.s. finally change the mobile service supplier. i can get the calls at home or work clearly now

there is a lego show. just a brief look... need time to visit whole site

and also the loan of study... (over $2800, just paid before new year)

dr peter leung

our company had two accessors today. one of them was dr leung. they were for the Hong Kong Laboratory Accreditation Scheme. he recognized me and talked few words... met him again on next mon and tues.

just bought some stocks (two lots) recommended by famous local stock commentor. very expensive but need to learn this game. otherwise never get enough money only based on salary or interests from banks.

this weekend:

1. ot on sat (i hate that)
2. duck race (any news?)
3. packing up some old stuff in pc & at home (did some)
4. swimming / treating my leg (leg 1st)
5. anymore...? (bought 2 agatha's books, organising some stuff, & saw joey yung at harbour terminal)

updated at 5:45pm gmt+8, dec 12

dvd package for graduation

grad pix of ball, sheep; bday dinner of silver and b ming

morning to fix my leg. then took some food at kwai fong before joining guys to hku. too west for ball. his camera is broken and used mine and sheep's to take. many people met there (check the title link when you see me online in icq or msn) and took quite a lot of photos (some are even unexpected).

dinner at belcher to celebrate birthday silver and b ming. got a cake from singapore from west ball. after that got some coffee at mongkok. back home around 12:00. tired today and cannot type more now...

:)their cake!

this week

legs hurt again, bad stomach (ate too much unhealthy stuff), & tired

began to listen german from our german...

gonna change mobile service provider, & bought 7260 for my sis (she chose it...). so expensive

finished reading three act tragedy

irene's birthday

took some pix with ball just back from singapore before returning the gown. the final end of the university life. then to celebrate irene's birthday with florence, her niece, two sheeps (lunch @ festival walk). later with danny and sheep to the latest longham place. the place i don't really like it. too many escalators and too crowded compared to other shopping malls. quite dangerous as we think when something happened. but it is the best in mongkok so far. after that we went singing karaoke...

irene's birthday gift



irene's birthday with florence's niece before xmas stuff

ball with me just before hand back the gown 

damned job

salary increased after probation, but boss is not happy. he thought i'm not as good as other said (1st and 2nd months he was out). some i need to work a bit harder, like understanding standards, braver... but his working style i don't agree. sleep only 4 hours a day for the work (same as the one just get promoted). the company is not worth having workaholics with bad conditions to us. (low paid compared with other firms, just further cut OT salary and the requirement to get OT)... for god's sake, i won't burn my candle just like them

much wanna quit

guia race

too much time for the safety car coming out

bmw got the race but seat was good as a new comer

dinner for ben's birthday

9 people going to take japanese buffet. ivan and florence only ate cooked food while others took both fresh and cooked in 2 hours. the gift is a camera's battery. after the meal, ivan bought a minijack but ben said he should buy a $1xxx one because of good quality... then we went to ivan's levis store and hehe... last we played in console game stations before went home.

ben is now in mainland near shanghai for three weeks.

congregation

today was my graduation day, waked as early as normal working day. went back school around 9am. took some food at canteen and met my fyp supervisor and his son there. he asked me the work...

then quickly joined the ceremony next to the canteen. from a bit nervous to a bit boring and a bit missing... anyway four years here...

after the ceremony, thx to the fact my department is one of the strongest in the school (and thx to the professors) and we could have our unique farewell. and my aunt came in the midway.

any regrets? some but cannot find out.

waiting west ball coming back

this is the song which i think it's suitable to the day

Say Goodbye - S Club
In the years to come
Will you think about these moments that we share
In the years to come
Are you gonna think it over
And how we lived each day with no regrets
Nothing lasts forever though we wanted to
The road ahead holds different dreams for me and you

Sometimes goodbye though it hurts in your heart is the only way for destiny
Sometimes goodbye though it hurts is the only way now for you and me
Though it's the hardest thing to say
I'll miss your love in every way
So say goodbye
But don't you cry
Cause true love never dies

In a year from now
Maybe there'll be things that we'll wish we've never said
In a year from now
Maybe we will see each other
Standing on the same street corner
No regrets
Each and every end is always written in the start
If only I could stop the world I'd make this lasts

Sometimes goodbye though it hurts in your heart is the only way for destiny
Sometimes goodbye though it hurts is the only way now for you and me
Though it's the hardest thing to say
I'll miss your love in every way
So say goodbye
But don't you cry
Cause true love never dies

And when you need my arms to run into
I'll comfort you
Nothing will ever change the way I feel

Sometimes goodbye though it hurts in your heart is the only way for destiny
Sometimes goodbye though it hurts is the only way now for you and me
Though it's the hardest thing to say
I'll miss your love in everyday
So say goodbye
But don't you cry
Because the true love never dies

marriage dinner again & stuff for graduation ceremony

yesterday night was the marriage dinner for my aunt's step-son. the dinner was in lee gardens. everything is better than that one by the boss. there was a foreigner who's the clsoe friend of bride. and there are few tvb guys as step-son is working there. aunt was very happy.

today came back school to get graduation ceremony stuff but in a bit bad luck. to borrow the clothes, i had already transfered the deposit to the school's bank account. however i lost it at home, i needed to pay $100 more for it :-(. but met so many mates and hanging around and taking photos. cool~

P.S. the watch is fixed

tired

working late and late with no ending...

just heard the company monthly target is around 10-12% more than last year. damn it...

murder on the orient express

how can agatha christie be so clever to deliberate the story so well? when can i find my instinct and use it?

P.S. at least 2 companies website saying they are running the express now? which one is the true one? i wanna take a ride.

growing big = good?

every business wannabe growing large, earning more money for their owners. but...

my sister opened an account in hangseng bank for paying school fee. even having enough money to pay the school fee, but the bank charged the fine for not enough money to autopay in the account. why? most of the money was put into the current account, not deposit account. it is not allowed to use cheque books under 18. why to be allowed to open the account for her? the employee, the computer program and the programmer, the supervisor... wth are they doing?

another example is a company making stuff and checked in my company. used to be good but expanded and allowing OEM stuff... then the quality falls and tension increased between my company and that client. we hold the lastline of safety but that company wants us to loose it... wth?

last is washing machine, my washing machine is gonna be broken and it's hard to find a machine outside serving long lifetime as last one (over 10 years with one little fix)?

do you know any company growing large but its products are still good? tell me and i must buy their stocks!

for companies having factory or allowing OEM from mainland china, DO CHECK more because communists lower people's quality and standard!

P.S. my watch is down... :-(

busy

even some jobs are unloaded, but always busy, and needs to train a n00b. when to have an easy moment? this makes me tired and forgets many things already

n00b

2 n00bs starting to work. one is vincent and another is man...

boss' marriage dinner

yesterday was the time for the dinner. he chose a restaurant next to boy scout's hk headquarters for the meal. we joined together at jordan and heard a giordano shop playing borrowed heaven.

we met the old workmates there and also the big boss. the child of another boss is so funny that even so brave to talk with the big boss. the restaurant is new and the tools (spoons, glass cups...) were quite dirty... but the food is not bad even not all are my favourite.

after dinner, we went to sing karaoke next to the restaurant until 3am. one mate seems to chase another but i don't know the end of the story... sang quite a lot of songs

took the bus to back home. 1st time to pay when got off the bus at mei foo and transfered to another. that one only had 7 passengers including me and the station i got off is the last before the terminus (covers whole upper kwai chung where aunt lives). back home at 4am... tired...

P.S. i will not wear the new shoes until a date just like those opening the case of blythe. the shoes are so cool... made in taiwan and it's the 1st time to get retro

wind blows like arrows, sky is grey. make me feel the 1st wave of winter. pls don't come so early. i love summer and autumn

new shoes

nike air alpha force ii le

mid-autumn festival

then back to cityu to "blow water". danny and steve had a match on their t-shirts. carmen was so lovely... to mongkok to help carmen to sell her broken phone and look for shoes... :)

thx for the cake

sunday

sunday is a day of rest

morning woke up to go swimming... probably last outdoor swimming in this year. water is become colder and colder. where should i go swimming in winter? ymca or shing mun valley?

weather is dry and warm with sunshine but it's not last long. i wanna buy a hat when i saw it in muji shatin. but the price...

took brunch in kwai fong and then went back home to fix my computer which is nearly done.

then went to find the chinese doctor because of little sick. and requested service for computer from my mom's friend (sister of doctor) on day after the festival.

after the visit, headed straight to tsim sha tsui to buy books, and checked whether any sport shoes suitable for me. finally bought two books and the favourite shoes have my size but i didn't buy yet... hard to find a affordable and few people restaurant nearby...

jamie's new book is already out here (earlier than uk, usa and canada). find a cd chain store selling with different price in different area...

early leave in mid autumn festival

time is at 3pm. anyone has any activites?

few things

1. congregation is firmed on Nov 12, i will get the dress on Oct 17. find me to take photos after that day

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.

careless

1. not closing air-con yesterday night
2. the weight hurt cleaning lady...

kf = king of fuck

his company sucks, delay on tuning facilities and damage the absorbers...

yesterday i'm really tired, worked until 9pm...

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

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


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.

so small world

a summer trainee & a colleague's bf knows my mom!

starts to know too much

bought avirl's under my skin

back to mainland for grandma's birthday and come back alone on sunday night, anyone dinner with me that night?

hair cut

had a hair cut with mom and sister together in causeway bay

sister has a new curly hair which makes her look like older than mom from the back

dinner at Xiaonanguo Imperial House, bill is $340 but we agreed the food is much better than outside. a great dish which other people ordered when it came to our table: 素冷麵

sam hui concert 2

a bit shorter than 1st
closer seat but reflection of light beams killing me


tough at work because of late work, exploded a heater. damn it

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...

rhumba frappuccino blended coffee

starbucks hk has promoted the new product and i triedd tonight. the taste is even sweeter than mocha and cannot feel a bit of coffee taste. price: hkd$31 for tall, $33 for grande

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.
