K&C codename buddy

Say shit again
February 29, 2008

Why? Because I discovered when I went home that I forgot to bring my notebook charger with me.. Sad enough huh? I guess we really can't live without a computer around. I can still live without my mac (though it makes life much less exciting), but how can I live without K&C! That's why I've now turned on my mac and running on limited battery, only to blog. So, don't say I'm no longer so devoted to my own blog..

It's module 3's last PBL tutorial today. What's my comment towards the group? Perhaps "no comment" is the most polite way to address the issue here.. As for what I've said today, when KMB was asking for comments, I really wasn't kicking ass. I just wished everyone become more active. So, let's see what's the chemistry between Annie, Bill, etc. and me.

Regret
February 28, 2008

I went to Space today. Well, not exactly the space high up in the sky, but one in North Point. Ridiculous enough, huh? No, not really. So, I stayed there for some revision, had dinner at a nearby restaurant, and left.

Does that sound over-simple? That's exactly what happened. The thing is, once something regretful has happened, there could be limited remedy we can do. Wish me luck.

Uncertainties
February 27, 2008

Life is always full of uncertainties, as well as things that are unpredictable. A similar saying for this phenomenon was suggested by Ronald: 天有不測之風雲，人有霎時之炆震".. That's very true. I've a similar experience recently, but luckily everything's ok now. So..

Chinese lecture this morning at 11.40 am. It's quite early to me, but it's doesn't affect me much this week because I woke up at 7 this morning.. Why did I attend the lecture then? There was no chinese tutorial anyway.. Well, how can I reject the order by two ladies? Anyway I still had to attend Ecen in the afternoon. The Ecen session was not bad today, though. Lisa split the class into two so that she can give us individual "feedback" of our assessment tasks without wasting too much of our time..

We went to MK afterwards, planning our trip to Cheung Chau next week. Well, I'm looking forward to it. Those who're not coming, "where the bloody hell are you?"

Silver in mine
February 24, 2008

Hello guys. Today's generally normal, without much things happening. This is really normal, because I'm used to a dull life these days. "Don't you have a girlfriend?" Some of you may ask. Yes. Being in a relationship really helps spending a day easier, but what can I do to make my life more colourful? I've said many times I need to discover some interests. Life without interest is like silver in mine. Sadly, I still haven't discovered anything that attracts me enough. I borrowed some books from the main library last week, in hopes of getting what I want. No, I failed. I borrowed some design-related books. One of them was about environmental psychology in interior design, another was about typography. Well, despite sounding interesting, they were not. Perhaps it was because of the books themselves, ... Anyway I think I'm going to read some geography books as well. Perhaps I'll one day become an amateur geographer..

OK, where were we.. Yep, I just came back to hall. This is the first time I blog seriously with my returned mac. How's it? Well, as promised, they got me a new screen as well as a superdrive. The sound of the working superdrive, however, somehow changed. It was no longer as "high-tech" as it used to be.. Anyway it's working, and that's good enough for me.

Hmm, I finally figured out why I keep skipping my entries these days.. The main reason is that my expectation for this site has changed. Nowadays I think I should always post something different, something special, and something differently special. No, that was not the original purpose of my site. I hoped to write something every day, anything. On the cheerful days I share my happiness with my readers, while on the less exciting days I want my readers to share my boredom. So, let's reorientate buddy, and move on : )

February 22, 2008

愛上一個人，光是知道對方沒有男女朋友並不足夠，還要讓對方愛上你

正如要拒絕一個人，只是讓對方知道你有男女朋友並不足夠，還要讓對方知道你不愛他

所言甚是。

Back to the old days
February 19, 2008

OK, let's get rid of that damn "V" logo, shall we? Just jk.. I know that many of you love that logo, and personally I also miss that logo so much. But as our Vth anniversary has passed nearly a week, I guess it's time that we forget about that and move on. Let's focus on something else.

For example, today itself is a special day. The exact reason cannot be told, but it's really a special day, ok?

Day 4 without my mac. (Last Fri was day zero) It's really bad not being able to stick with an experience you've so used to, but, sadly, this is an inconvenient truth". Bad enough?

Back to the old days
February 17, 2008

Well, look at the pix below ,left. Do u think it's a bit low-tech? Well, it doesn't only look low-tech, it IS low-tech. In short, because my macbook has been sent to Case for repair, I have no choice but borrow my sister's notebook. It's inconvenient, huh? Luckily I found a bunch of useful softwares when I was using windows - like EditPlus which I'm now using to edit my site. But I do hope that my mac will come back soon. After all, it's part of my life.

Today was like wasted. I woke up at 1 pm, only to find that I did not take of my contact lens last night. I had lunch, took a shower, and it was already 3.30. I didn't review last week's PBL problem as planned either. Instead, I was migrating stuff to my sister's notebook so that I can use it without any problems. Now I've done that. At least I still have a computer to use, isn't it?

PS Since there is no PS (Photoshop) in this computer, there is no usual effects I apply on photos. Please accept my apology.

Vday, PS I Love You, Case
February 15, 2008

Apparently I missed the Vday entry. That's because I was too exhausted yesterday. (Not in the way some of you might suspect, though..) Generally it'd been a good day. At least everything (except one) went as it was planned. Isn't that good enough?

We watched PS I Love You at US Times Square. Sadly, it in no way was a good movie. I just couldn't see love between Holly and Gerry.. Of course, Gerry was dead.. But what I saw was not how much the woman loved the man, but just how much she hated becoming a widow. "It's annoying," I said.

As for today, I visited Case, the Apple HK service provider, for repairing my mac.. It wasn't bad. I didn't have to wait too long, the staff was not too impolite and they agreed to replace my screen in addition to my superdrive. New screen!! Good enough, huh?

Btw congrats for your exam result.

Vth Anniversary
February 13, 2008
Happy Anniversary, ladies and gentlemen. Well, some if you may notice that this entry is written two days after 13th. But the point is, how can an anniversary be spent without any special things to say? No, there won't be any long speeches (again) this year, but I do want to thank all those supporting my site. I really depend on my readers' support so that I can keep on blogging.

Perhaps the only thing special about this year's anniversary is the beautiful Vth anniversary logo. Yep, it's not "5th", but "Vth". V is everything this year. Perhaps it indicates "victory", perhaps not. What does it really mean then? Well, you've got to figure it out yourself.

And happy Vday : )

Compaq
February 10, 2008

Do you still remember Compaq, an once giant computer manufacturer which later merged with HP? In fact, it wasn't gone just like that. The brand Compaq is still being marketed by HP, and today it's still a competitive line of notebook PC. A relative asked me to choose a notebook for her recently, and after careful consideration, choosing among notebooks by Samsung, Lenovo, Asus and Compaq, I decided to get a Compaq. Why? Well, among those options and considering the price, I thought the Compaq one would be the most reliable and powerful. Why not a mac then? For a selfish reason, I just don't want all people come to me when there's something wrong with their Macs. Moreover, I don't generally recommend a Mac if you don't even have some basic knowledge of PC..

So, the notebook was bought. Having Vista home premium installed, it runs on an Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 processor (2GHz), has 1GB memory and 160GB hard disk, as well as a 12.1 inch widescreen. It's sold at $8400, and it's just good enough even for me. But please, I have no plan to switch back to PC yet. Even if I did, I think I'd opt for XP..

Some of you may ask: you use a mac, you have an iPhone, why are you always trying to make yourself different? No, I don't want to be different. I just want to be the same as everyone. I want to spend my holidays with someone, I want to have long vacations like all my fellow HKU-mates, I want to succeed in my job (the current one being my F.3 Math class), ... Who want to be different? Only ordinary people who spend their lives ordinarily can enjoy peace. Only those sharing a peace of mind are the blessed.

Festival mood
February 9, 2008

Am I such a lonely guy that I can't live alone on holidays, or do I really need her so much? I don't know. But I guess it's generally true that on holiday, we all expect spending time with our friends and family. I regard this expectation as "festival mood". Please don't mix this up with holiday mood though. The latter refers to the feeling of refusal for school after having a long vacation, while the former refers to the fact that we are so desperate to find company in large festivals like Christmas. Well, it's lunar new year. Everyone has fun, so what's wrong with me if I want company so much?

For the above reason, the past three days were spent badly. On lunar new year eve, I just had a brief dinner with my family, as we had had our Tuen Nin Fan on Sun. On new year day, I visited my father's relatives in the afternoon, and later returned home. Yesterday I killed an afternoon doing nothing before attended the gathering with my mother's family in the evening. "Why were you not on a date?" Well, that's obvious, isn't it?

Anyway she's returned. Things are remained unsolved, but I know that sometimes, things just cannot be solved.

Counting down
February 8, 2008

There are far more things than new year eve to count down. Like the upcoming fifth anniversary of our site, which will be on Feb 13. Many of you are expecting a major renovation for this site. The sad news is that I have no plan to rennovate this site yet. Well, I have mentioned about this update a lot, I've even worked out a number of prototypes of the new site. Sadly, none of them were borned to be perfect. I don't like them all when I review them over time. So you guys need to give me more time for that. But I'm sure in the future, what you'll see is not the closing down of my site, but a new renovation and more frequent updates which will boost our visiting count to a new level. Impressive, huh?

Talking about updates, I haven't been updating my site frequently enough these days. I've explained the main reasons behind that before, but the real reason, perhaps, is because I don't need to blog that much these days. I needed somewhere to express myself before, now I've found one, so why blogging? The function of this site has changed, and there's hardly any turning back.

* * *
I went to Bai Nin for two consecutive days, which I found exhausting. Yep, I hate doing this - not even for getting Lai See - I'll get them anyway even if I don't attend these new-year activities.. Well, Jeffrey, my born-on-Feb-29-4-years-ago cousin, was cute though.

Happily unhappy
February 5, 2008

"Are you happy?" some of you may ask me. There're certain people in the world who're satisfied with themselves easily. They either have a low satisfaction threshold, or lower their threshold at unfavourable times. I'm not one of them. It's always hard to satisfy me, and it's always hard to make me happy.

No, I can tell you I'm not happy now, despite that I already own most of the things I've always wanted. Perhaps I'm such a perfectionist that I wouldn't spare a single chance finding what's imperfect about what I own. But let me tell you, this is a bad personality, if not the worst. Why not? It's difficult to live if one is constantly unhappy and dissatisfied with everything.

Little Sheep; flower market
February 3, 2008

Hi. This is a Sunday before-bedtime, and I'm writing an entry because I'm too excited about what happened today. As the title suggests, I had hot pot!! This time at Little Sheep!! Well, I think you guys should know that I'm now natural high due to the use of double exclamation marks. Yes, I'm always fond of hot pot, and this time I have one successfully, why shouldn't I be excited?

There were actually three options today: Tak Hing, Dou Heung and Little Sheep. Tak Hing was eliminated first because tonight's dinner were fully booked last night. [WTF..] And we finally chose Little Sheep. It was a wise choice because the food was really good there. I was especially pleased with the "snow flake sliced beef" I ordered. The dinner was expensive, but it was satisfying. Well, it's never a question of whether I'll have hot pot again, because I'll surely do. But when? With whom? What about you?

After hot pot dinner the two of us went to the flower market at Victoria Park. Same as what happened last year, it was crammed with people. What's different is that I didn't take many pix there this time, and the lady beside me has changed : )

January
February 1, 2008

Another week. Perhaps you guys are now able to notice that I say this a lot when I breathe a sigh of relief after a week has passed. Why shouldn't I? Unlike my F.7 life, with things like going to school, having the same lessons, attending tutorials, studying, worrying, panicking repeating every day, everyday is now so different. Yes, I keep panicking, I keep attending boring and meaningless lessons, but at least I meet more bunches of people nowadays, mornings with dental people, evenings with hallmates, and perhaps friends and her in between. Sometimes life is not fulfilling enough, sometimes life is more than stressful, but generally I'm doing fine. This is one of the few things we should really ask for, isn't it?

Well, you may ask since when I have become so optimistic. No, I always have these thoughts in mind, but sometimes life is just too stressful that I can't help complaining. Perhaps it's because of the relatively easy week that I think so positively. There's no design task to work on, there is more free time for myself this week, I studied this week's PBL problem quite comprehensively (please notice the use of the word "comprehensively", instead of "completely"), I had my T1 & T2 finished unprecedentedly early this week, ... All these are the relaxing moments that I've longed for. And guess what? Because of finishing T2 so early this week (at 4), I had time to walk with Ronald and Carmen to Sheung Wan station, bought a bread from a Le Bon Pain-like bakery on our way, and still had time to spare. Now I'm writing this at FW's PCC, which I haven't visited after my summer job. This is great, very great, isn't it?

We all look for relaxing moments. Yes, a busy life makes ourselves (feel) useful. But being busy isn't equivalent to having a hectic life. Sometimes, I just need to chill out, just like what I'm doing now at PCC.

PS It's another month too! January 2008 has passed really fast, but it's also a long month in that I've done many things. I finished and passed my exam in the first week, school started right afterwards and four PBL problems had already been dealt with, Eugene came back and left in the same month, ...... This month's popularity index is poor though. There's been (33972-33569) 403 visits this month, or 13 visits daily on average. Hum.. Let's do something in our anniversary month.
