Lego System #6342
got it from one of online shops @ bricklink. the quality is ok but i think next time i would buy thsoe in very good condition.
anyway this one is much better than currently selling 7903. this design is much better; it has a yacht; & it has a hot t-back minifig.
but two things 7903 did a little better, the wings are not big enough & 7903 has wheels
Medieval 2: Total War
just tried the demo of the game on the day of Battle of Hastings. it has a tutorial to teach how to control troops in battle field and the battle used is Battle of Hastings!
the quality is much better than Rome: Total War except it is harder to control the speed of game. the button to control running faster or slower is hard to get clicked! the developer should check that before selling the game officially.
and the demo did not show the turn based system which is the key of the game so i don't know it is good or not.

words from pope
even i don't believe not catholic, and i think pope benedict xvi looks like palpatine in star wars, i feel what he said about muslim is right. they had not improved within ages and how they reacted to pope's speech is a prove! now bush & pope are saving civilized world. one is using they way general people use while another is using spiritual way. May god bless them.
but i'm worry about the safety of pope and the future of catholic if pope is not alright.

Sinking of Japan
it is not as bad as others thought but may not be worth getting so good result in japan.
CG is much better than godzilla but too hardselling their co-operators like self defensing forces with large subtitles! and they should find another smap guy as actor even the doctor is cute like dr slump and the minsiter likes christine ng.
3 more points i wanna point out:
- why not make love with actress when actor knew he would die soon; girl does love him; and japaneses love sex
- one ignitor could start bombs all over japan coast and need to use submarines to put ignitor?
- why do citizens not wear mask when air is full of volcanic ash

Dead Man's Chest
this weekend is nice and i went to watch bill nighy and keira knightley in the same cinema again.
the film i think maintains the same quality as the first especially the performance of johnny deep. but i found why they chose keira because she is easy to act as a man and becoming a crew of a ship. And orlando bloom makes me feel he is even more like a girl than keira.
it's a bit unpredictable that geoffrey rush was shown up at the end of the film. i really wanna to watch the final of the series!

buffet dinner
another angle, originally uploaded by hermanwest.
nine years after hong kong returned to devil china from britain, the sky showed some scrapes before sun said goodbye. at that moment, i was on the way to tung chung to take my dinner for fairwell a workmate.
the place was inside a hotel. three with half filled gut were just waiting the late comer who just watched the sky. the price was just low but variety of food was not enough. and we talked about the work and some personal things. after that she is going to work for her dad company.

not interested as much as others
that is world cup. i don't waste my time to watch every single full match in front of tv, don't wait my time to read sections in newspaper in details. i think i'm one out of thousands in the world not interested soccer as other males.
but Bundeskanzler Angela Dorothea Merkel did a job on china issue. on new maglev train project, she asked china not to copy the technology germany developed. that's a big hit to mainland. now everybody knows china steals technologies when imported and don't trust chinese. this is one of the evidences showing ethic in china is deteriorated. that's the thing said in chris patten's east and west (fianlly finished studying), make china to face the world same as others!

music
my mind is so damned old right now. not interested in any pop music. but after listening full set of memories, number of songs made me feel excited.
finally finished watching live in geneva, they still had passion to perform live. obviously old songs are better than new one. so i think to watch their performance is much harder than andrea shown up in cannes.

a bit down
last week i should not buy this & this...
sick was the main frame for last two weeks. but it's different than previous. i didn't need to lay on the bed to take rest. but these few days it took me staying a lot on the toilet...
bad luck was still around me. how could i lose my cell phone on a minibus? i don't know. and the worst is losing all people contacts... but better than none, my friend working in a mobile phone network company had a special offer by using nearly half of original price to get this. however i needed to pay for a bluetooth usb adaptor in full. another friend also lost his phone and bought this (a temp who was working with me few months before also interested). size is ok, smaller than i expected.
the most sad thing is death of friend's mom. last seeing her during chinese new year holidays & she's all right. but then around a month before she was in a hospital to ahve a treatment remove cancer. two weeks before she was already in the heaven. it's so fast... yesterday when we saw him, he did look ok but really don't know how is in his mind. may god bless him.

toys & miniature
yesterday traced my dream to fill up my lego collection in kowloon area. so i took a stop at shim shui po but without new stuff in my hand. so i moved on to next place, mong kok. a few more shops were checked. but all of a sudden, i found a thing more interested, i.e. herpa miniature car of bernd schneider's '95 dtm. so i don't care how much it costed, just took my wallet out and handed the notes to shop owner...
but there was some more time and the purpose had not yet fulfilled, and i walked down to tsim sha tsui and stepped into a shop selling lego. and finally got this...
but i don't wanna put any stickers on it yet. make it pure!

windows live messenger beta
the latest, should be the last one before release candidate was out (get the beta access right here).
this one is much kinda cooler than previous one. at least for a three-year ago pc. it takes half less memory and more functions are provided. another thing can be found by me (because the windows sound system has been crapped by ccleaner), it uses another way to drive sound out!
but one drawback is mine cannot operate when it starts with pc booting. it's needed to be closed and started again. maybe this is being affected by startright.

latest 24
after a dull lesson on induction and risk management (but it's kinda cool when i could leave earlier, slept between the lesson, and had tea when i slipped to the old place which is downstairs), i went straight back home to watch latest 24. and...
- james morrison was so fit (he's a yoga teacher in real life) when he wore sweater to show bill buchanan was resting at home to cover chloe had been here. i think he can get some more as a model of american apparel.
- how can jack get cell phone signals on the sky? all signal transmitters should point to ground.
- mike the chief of staff becomes messenger of mr & mrs president...
- so damned stupid miles found mike for help. first is mike has no real power, second is mike closes to jack instead of you, miles.
- paul mccrane is suitable to act as a bad guy, from er to now 24.
- 2 lol points: logan said jack is desperate. the real thing is jack's always desperate; there's no secure line on the earth. even the one by ctu was hacked!
company's singing contest
there was a singing contest final held by company on second last sunday of april for the first time. 16 from every departments were selected to perform on stage at academic community hall, and one of them is my friend, ball. he had 20 tickets while i also got my extra two being as staff. my friend called his schoolmates, family and his girlfriend to support. for my extra ticket, with a bit unexpected (seems not have another chance), carmen joined me to watch the contest (as i told her there was a guest). she was so lovely beautiful, just like a perfect princess in my mind.
those finalists were formed in four groups. not only had they performed their own selected song, but also needed to have a group competition with the prize of a mp3 player. dancing was competited in my friend's group while others chose other things. and my friend's performance was better in that group competition than his selected song. his vocal cord was sleeping at that night so that he lost the contest. the champion was performing with support from music of guitar while the voice of first runner up was very simialr to jacky cheung. and all performers were very professional, better than most of local pop singers.
after all performance, 2 seniors from our bank sang four songs before our honoured guest densie ho (a bit late come) to perform. two songs were sung while the first one i never heard before and really could not catch up what she sang. btw the hosts (sara lee & william lam from metro broadcast) did a good job that night.
after the contest, we two took dinner together at a shanghaiese restaurant at mongkok but a bit disappointed on the food before going back home.

bad day
after 4 weeks of no 1 in billboard (5 weeks now, with reasons - warner music did a lot of stuff), bad day is promoted again in hong kong with new ad focusing on the mv featuring samarie armstrong (anna stern in the o.c.; btw, she's back in the o.c.!!!).
but don't forget the album was released last year. there are so many similar cases in music industry actually, like dido. she's really getting pop after eminem used "thank you" as background of stan even her music "here with me" has already used in roswell.

spending too much since this year
like last month:
- weddin' dinner - $500
first person i know in our age range getting married. they are couples for more than four years and just got a flat with down payment support of their parents (30% of flat price?). the dinner was cool. food was good but the servants were not enough. - game cd wanted too long
after i got the salary from new job, first thing to buy is rome: total war - barbarian invasion. while no more copies were found in the city, i bought the parallel imported one from thailand. but i think i should buy it from amazonwhere the price was just the same.
- music cds
also got them after the salary. first one is bed to bedlam from james blunt. another is from jack johnson again, OST for curious george which was not shown in hk cinemas which actually using jack for one of the covers. all songs are cool in blunt's album while i especially love "talk of the town" in that OST. - ipod applecare for sister's ipod
bought that for her because hers is expensive and easily broken (fourth generation ipod photo). but the warranty was already outdated in the database apple computer inc. so my sister phoned thier hotline and they asked to fax the proof (sales receipt) but the line is a foreign one which was hard to find a fax machine with IDD easily. finally parent of her classmate helped her.
btw here's the site to check how many remaining for your ipod warranty. - loan (for university student)
still need to pay $3xxx every quarter for near four years - food
spent too much for lunch this month eating in soho area. but one was a bit sad. we paid a temp clerk for lunch before her resign as she hurt her recovered spinal again during her work and the company cannot provide another easy-going position so that she needed to resign.

lemonade or lemon water
appledaily quoted our former chief justice yang said in the uk people said lemonade while lemon water is used in the us. but in wikipedia lemonade means different things in both countries. in america, it means uncarbonated drink but it is carbonated in britian and uncarbonated will be called as "real lemonade".
how about dessert, sweet and pudding? yang said lower class using sweet or dessert but not pudding. but in wikipedia, "Dessert is most commonly used in Hiberno-English, American English, Canadian English, Australian English and in French. Sweet, pudding or afters would be more typical in other variants of Commonwealth English for this course."
i'm not sure his definition on what and pardon is correct or not (he said what is from the mouth of blue blood). anyone can help?

stupid sales tax
our financial secretary and those studying how our tax comes urge for sales tax since nearly all developed economics have and also widen tax base. but this is the stupidest move after choosing tung chee hwa as our chief executive.
for lower class of society, they will be poorer on accumlated taxes as many know. there will be a big hit for our services and sales industry! we can get rid of regional shopping centre soon. no one from other places would wanna buy things here because redemption is a bit trouble.
but after depolyment, there may be a business found focusing on that. since sales tax will increase in coming future, those having foreign passports should group together and provide service to buy things for those not having to get the redemption. that's what the german guy i know did when he came back to germany to buy things with 16% sales tax and used his HKID for refund!

overuse of it in schools
in my secondary school era, infomation technology (use of computer for teaching) was a growing technology and started to implement into the schools. but now, it's popular to use it in hong kong. compared to what i have faced with my sister's. i think it is overused.
two examples can mention that:
first teachers make powerpoint presentations instead of using blackboard and chalks. but i don't think presentation is a way to present materials to students. teachers use too much time on special effects to attract students. that makes them no time prepare the lesson or do other things. and paper is wasted for printing out the notes instead of dropping down by pupils as they can drop down key points only instead of whole article. and students lose the skill for how to drop key points. chalkboard is more interactive than the presentation while it's easy to ask students to come out and write down answer on board directly but not in different computer which may damage the presentation easily.
another is using email to tell students homework assignments. i think each student should get a blackberry in free. i find teachers from school which my sister's studying love sending homework assignments in irregular periods even after school time. so they need to check their box quite often in front of the screen. but using computer is just like going into supermarket or department store, too much stuff diverts your mind. after checking email, they would like to write some blogs, read friends' diarys, visit some websites or even play games. and they lose responsibility to drop down homework assignments into their handbook before going home while their teachers lose responsibility to assign assignments in school time. anyway this makes students know the real world a bit more.

another is using email to tell students homework assignments. i think each student should get a blackberry in free. i find teachers from school which my sister's studying love sending homework assignments in irregular periods even after school time. so they need to check their box quite often in front of the screen. but using computer is just like going into supermarket or department store, too much stuff diverts your mind. after checking email, they would like to write some blogs, read friends' diarys, visit some websites or even play games. and they lose responsibility to drop down homework assignments into their handbook before going home while their teachers lose responsibility to assign assignments in school time. anyway this makes students know the real world a bit more.

lunar new year holidays
these few days for me were just for the time of rest while others were doing what should be done at this period. except sleeping, watching tv, playing aa, i still need to send job applications to various places and watched a movie, narina. and finished the first disc of all the way home.
narnia: it's ok but not as good as lotr (i don't mean the books, only the movies, and we should compare to those children books from j.r.r. tolkien). and disney's films in future without pixar (disney buys pixar and chicken little not as good as pixar's) should focus on those with actual humans but not animations (like pirates of the caribbean). let pixar dominate on animation business (dreamworks has lost its soul - paramount selling dreamworks library).
all the way home: shows the road of the corrs. they made me feel they lost a bit passion on making music after the success of talk on corners, dead of their mum, building their own family, and change of management of record company. so...

any market for fishs n chips?
on wednesday night, a tv programme on jade will talk about culture of britian by to kit. but how many locals are interested to watch that? british culture is normally admired in higher class of local society. but for the most, a week alter the same programme by eason chan relating japanese culture is their is what they want.

killer game in mainland
many hong kong people know how to play this game, and in mainland, rules and businesses are developed from this game. why can't develop just like mainland? 1. too many types of entertainment in hong kong? 2. losing passion or mind to build business by our own? (at least for me)

price too attractive
our governor had gone and his book was put on the sales corner of the book shop. the price on the tag was already attractive but there is even 20% more discount. i couldn't stop my desire and so my debt has increased even more.
P.S. miss sewell's book is now on the list of paddyfield.com.

deterioration
first saturday of this year was the coldest day in winter. i wore a pair of old shoes to back to work. from in the office, the bottom started to deteriorate... whole floor are with rubber bits and needed our gurhka guards to clean up... sorry. besides of yelling help, i rushed to the nearest shoes shop to get a new pair but the styles there showed not fulfills what i think. so i stepped on a tram to the shopping centre on hong kong island, causeway bay. finally i got my first pair of adidas (stan smith 2, 451769).
how about the broken one? still in the house. it's only been worn with few times so not environmentally friendly to our earth. and maybe finds a repairment shop to fix it.

really unexpected
just before the end of first working friday, sitting in front of a table to compare the certificates and the numbers on the forms, virbation of phone woke me up. an unexpected voice told me that a job offer is given to me and its benefit is a bit better than the current one. so i submit my resignation letter next day and finished my last duty yesterday. tomorrow i will start working in a new location.
forgot to mention what i've done in the old job. i should work to make and check microfilms made by aged deposit forms. but the past few days the market the company serves for is very active. so we did little on that aspect. actually we helped input and validation of deposit procedure from physical to digital format.

blu-ray & hd-dvd area codes
from this post, you can see only three zones will be available for future rather than six. actually area codes are for marketing need. but previously they divided them too specific so affecting the flow of production, logistics, marketing, and selling. and area codes can be easily broken by codes on chips, software, and even for concert discs (like dido or the corrs) they can make discs possible to play in many zones.
but one good thing is they don't need to add too many side things (especially the subtitles) for certain area products.
