mercedes hired ralf schumacher as a dtm car driver. once their boss said ralf needs two years to learn from formula car to touring car world. to fill the investment, dtm can play at least three years even first there is a strong competition with wtcc; second only two manufacturers participate (actually volkswagan ag have two legs on top touring car sport, i.e. audi in dtm & seat in wtcc).

back to cityu
it's for one thing, interview for a master degree study.
but this is not in electronic engineering anymore which were taken by classmates; for knowledge and career, i decide to apply master in finance.
interview is now over, and only god knows whether i can start my study on coming september or not.

recent music favorites
- sheryl crow's love is free. it's so easy going.
- latest album from jack johnson, sleep through the static. versus love is free or his last own album, in between dreams, it is a bit darker. but if you like in between dreams, you will still like it as change is not big to force people giving up (especially songs after "if i had eyes"). my favorites in this moment are "if i had eyes" and "hope".
forgot to say a thing. why is the leaflet inside in german/dutch even it is printed locally?
an article from chairman of hk apple daily
is about agatha christie. basically it's about her biography with a little bit of his own view on her books and herself.

uninstall them
- avg anti-virus - the program affects many programs; like foobar, internet explorer...
- windows live mail - even introduces new functions fitting today's usage, but it sucks for normal use; i.e. always cannot connect to mail server.
sweeney todd
for the movie, all things are quite good except the storyline. it is very weak. maybe this is as an adoption from musical which focuses less on script. except johnny depp, there are other big names in the film which is out of my expectations.
midway is a bit nonsense but the ending is quite sad when he finds out what he did is very wrong which is much more than just revenge. still everybody lies!
it's a film suitable for valentine's more than lunar new year.
P.S. anyone knows whether benjamin barker recognizes her daughter at last?

vba
from this and this, microsoft (ms) is not dropping visual basic for applications (vba) yet.
even vba has some drawbacks like outdated (based on vb 6) and security issue, staying alive is good for many people as many macros (from word, excel, access to other programs) are written on it (not just me feeling happy, but also company colleagues).
but the move from ms still make many worrying. first is discontinuing support to other non-ms programs. and it's not available for latest office for mac '08 (that may stop people transferring from pc to mac!). the important is they are pushing people to use visual studio tools for office (vsto). the latest one needs you to use visual studio '08 pro or team system.
i do think vba will be faded out just like visual foxpro. but seems that many are still using vba and not many will buy a full set of visual studio just for office macros, the future of it is still a bit long (like win xp now or win 98 in the old days)

atv world is great
gets both top gear and fifth gear! the two great british motor shows.
FYI top gear is a bit more funny while fifth gear is more normal one

triple o's
have a try of original burger combo at citysuper's cookeddeli causeway bay. size is quite big for the burger but meat is a bit too dry (even drier than mcdonald's'). it's wise to take pickled cucumber out as quite many don't like it. french fries - they are real potatoes obviously! price is double of mcdonald's' which may not be worth for normal hk people (so at this moment stay inside luxurious food courts).

another poirot season on atv world
they are: the mystery of the blue train, cards on the table, after the funeral, and taken at the flood and were shown in uk in early '06. the broadcast time sucks which is at 11:30 pm on sun and they are shown few months after second season of marple in hk.

cappuccino caramel truffle
it's the new favor served in hk. but i love the solo coffee more. caramel taste is a bit too strong that i don't feel like it's a coffee product. the chewy chocolate truffle however is lovely. that is the selling point of this ice cream i think.

no sharp front upper for adidas' stan smith
the latest milk previews new edition of adidas' stan smith will be out. and it said the editors like sharp front upper design. but i don't really like it.
i agree it's quite dull for the series but the design doesn't feel the whole shape. the shoes are much more cute with round front. and most important is much harder for me to buy another stan smith. the one i'm wearin' is near servin' me for nearly two years. but this is hard to find another to suit my foot size (i need one size larger than those available sizes!). with sharp front, at least half/one size more is needed. damn..

lego city 7991 garage truck
it's time to complete the remainin' one before end of year. under the same frame, obviously this is done by different designer from concrete mixer. the driving cabin is in less details but components are in fit. a few are in queer (pls click the gallery link below): 1. why the trolley is on the top? 2. no cover for the garage container? 3. something strange in the manual...
