Another week
September 30, 2010

Another week is wasted. This week has been relatively easy to pass. I had two full days on Mon and Tues, but then got Wed and Thurs afternoon off, and tmr is public holiday. This is great. Having afternoon-off makes me feel life again. It's just too bad that this is not a regular luxury.

So what have I done in this great afternoon? I watched a movie, which was great. Category III though.

Btw, it's the last day of September today. What does that mean? It's been one month since school began. I've been panicking, yet haven't done anything. That's why I took some time to archive August's page here at Anzyme, so that I don't have to read about wonderful events that happened one month earlier so often, and can finally re-focus on school work and do some serious reading. I really should do that.

Update, Twins
September 29, 2010

So, today is a day with mixed luck. I had a bad time during MOS, but things improved in the afternoon, especially when I had an unexpected date with M. Anyway..

Second topic today: a song to share. As I've mentioned to some friends, I've been listening to Twins' latest concert album since summer holidays. There's one song in particular I like so much. It's not any time close to V Day, and I don't have such feelings (thankfully) for now. Nonetheless I think this is such a good song that I keep listening to it over and over again. Read the lyrics.

Life
September 25, 2010

What's the meaning of life? I keep asking this question these days. This is not to say I don't enjoy life. In fact, I do, that is, when things run smooth. For example, I really enjoyed last August a lot. Life was easy, pressure-free; I could sleep at any time I preferred, go to anywhere whenever I wanted, … Of course, there were ups and downs as always, but I really enjoyed life when I have full control of things. But now, I start losing grip on everything. School, work, hall, love.. Nothing seems under control. Over the years, September has always been a trough in life. But what is worse is that this September is an all-time minimum point.

When does turning point come? I know, it's when dy/dx=0, i.e. when there're no more changes. Hmm, this is easier said than done.

Selfish side
September 24, 2010

Humans all have a dark side, and this dark side manifests in multiple ways. One would be our tendency to be selfish. Some, in a bid to defend themselves, would even argue that it's against the nature not to think for oneself. However, what you may not know is that there're even different levels of selfishness.

Being selfish to protect ourselves is sometimes conceivable. So long as what we've done does no harm on others, who would mind one being selfish? The worst case would be to argue that what we've done is out of love, but, in fact, is based on pure selfishness. What kind of love is that, and what kind of hypocrite one is if he/she ever commit such selfish acts?

Mid-autumn, subsequent day
September 23, 2010

I had a busy day on MId Autumn Festival. MOS became more cher than ever. Nonetheless we avoided having to eat crappy food (namely set lunch) from canteen, which saved my day.

As for my mid-autumn evening, I was supposed to have no plan. But then my friends and I decided to meet and so we saw a movie at 2 am in CWB, and had morning tea at Sai Wan afterwawds. I slept at 5.30 am. Hmm.. This is life.

As for today, I was, again, unproductive. How? An accurate gauge would be to record what I ate today - CC in the afternoon, and for dinner. Crappy food seems to be unavoidable in life, doesn't it? Having had another unproductive holiday, I wonder when I can become productive again. I don't know; even worse, I don't know how either.

HB M
September 20, 2010

So, it's another chance for me to update my blog today. Well, it's another demanding day. In the morning I met my paedo patient for the second time. I start to like seeing paedo patients after realizing that they're less evil than adults. It reminds me of what it's said in The Little Prince. Yes, adults' behaviour is sometimes offendingly loathsome. The sad fact is, kids grow up too fast, that they soon forget their innocence and become despicable teens, like my new F.3 students, and soon, worse, ignorant adults, like us.

Btw, happy birthday, M ♥

Update
September 17, 2010

I got a cold from a dear PBL groupmate, and I'm not feeling well again. I've finally found a more permanent doctor to see after Dr. Fernando's retirement - it's Dr. Lau somewhere on Bonham Road. However, given his age, I guess I'll have to find another doctor soon.

The past week has, as usual, been busy. In fact, I should be busy today too. You know, it's a Friday evening. But I just don't want to read anything tonight, because I'm not really feeling well. And that's why I'm here, updating Anzyme.

Hall life has become weirder than ever. However, there's nothing I can do, so I'll just hope everything to be fine as it has always been.

Hmm.. I don't really have much to say today. I'll try to do a better job next time.

Hall alone
September 12, 2010

So, I returned to hall on a Sunday and tried to read something quietly alone. It's hard. It could be due to today's weather, or could be due to my recent mood, or could be due to the desolation I feel, that I wasn't very productive today. My first wake-up was at 11, after an interesting but weird dream. But then I fell asleep again and did not wake up until 2 pm. I know this is not healthy, but who cares?

And after a creepy lunch from CC, I read a new book I bought (more on that later), in bed, and I soon fell asleep again. Hmm.. That's my life.

After I woke up at 7 pm, I used two hours to decide where to eat, and I finally decided to go to Sai Wan to have vietnamese. And I'm back to hall. God, this kind of life can sometimes happen, but I've told myself, it can't happen indefinitely.

As I've mentioned, I bought a new book. What did I get then? I got The Grand Design by Stephen Hawking. Yea, I got the kindle version. It's much cheaper than buying an actual book, and it makes it so much more convenient for me to access. So hopefully, I can finish this book soon. There's one funny thing: as I told a friend I got this book, he asked if that's a detective story. "Hey, I'm talking about Stephen Hawking!" "And Stephen Hawking writes detective fictions." "I think you're talking about Stephen King, aren't you?"

It's Friday
September 10, 2010

Sometimes, I'd ask myself: am I a "toxic L"? This really depends on how you define this term. No matter what, the fact is that after calling 3 one more time this afternoon, my Internet speed has dramatically improved, and I'm dramatically relieved. Problems still exists, but it seems that one of them has resolved and I can focus my attention on other issues. Isn't this great?

You guys may think I'm so pathetic: minor things like phone performance can affect me to such an extent. No, I'm not pathetic. My philosophy is that objects are dead, and we as human beings have every right to have full control of objects; on the contrary human relationships are so unpredictable. So why should we allow ourselves to be limited by dead objects, but not instead master our possessions and focus our energy on things we don't have full control but care so much more? Wake up, guys. It's time to re-master our lives.

Look at this glass of water again. Is it half-empty or half-full? I'm not so sure anymore.

Issues can resolve on their own
September 9, 2010

I've been depressed for the past few days, and such depression hit a trough today. I tried to ask for counselling from some friends, and indeed, I've received the most intensive counselling from my hallmates during this period, given that I've been living at Lee Shau Kee for 3 years plus. Again, I have to stress that I love some part of hall life more than other parts. So, this is the part I like, and I enjoyed that.

However, after my hallmates' counselling, I still seemed to feel pessimistic. I always consider things in a negative way. No one seems to be able to save me from that so far. But then as I returned to my room, good things start to escalate again. For one, M called and cleared my worry that she was not calling; also, I called 3 again, this time in good manner, to ask them to give me more bandwidth. Surprisingly, this phone call was highly successful - I only had to wait a few seconds before someone received my call, and the lady there finally admitted that my HSDPA has not been activated, and will be switched on "soon". "How soon?" I asked. "Around 8 tmr," she replied. Well, I hope this time she's telling the truth; otherwise I'm going to be so upset. And I'm prepared to say this:

"我由00年開始用你個台，到今年第十年，即係一半嘅人生係用你個台，你而家咁對我，覺唔覺好過分？"

One more thing.. A lot of you seems to have issues with my new theme pix. Well, it's a painting called "Summer Interior" by Edward Hopper (1909). It reflects my desolation perfectly, doesn't it?

Depressed again
September 6, 2010

Three days ago, I decided it's time to restart my life. It seems that this needs to be postponed. I've been quite depressed this weekend, not knowing what to do in my fourth-year. I know this is natural, and that everyone feels the same. I know this because I've been experienced this since year 1. Every September is a nightmare. Things just don't go smoothly. I seem to have trouble when I face everything. For example, the F.3 boys (who were promoted from F.2) continue to suck, my iPhone's internet speed continues to be undesirable, I'm still nervous about the many new things I'm about to have at school, I feel inadequate when I need to do OR stuff, and also, my other personal issues. I know that when one feels bad, he has thousands of reasons to think everything's bad. But I really feel upset these days. I thought I've self-healed myself last weekend, but, in fact, I haven't. Problems aroused from my iPhone and those new students brings so much pain that my poor skills in self-healing don't seem to help. So, I'm helpless now, and I urgently need some friends to talk to. But I guess as the intensity of our work escalates, few would like to spare long nights to listen to me. In this case, I can only pray.

The only good thing seems to be that Carl Wu is teaching our group again - but only for merely three sessions of aesthetic restorations. Hmm.. This is better than having another a. hole teaching us, isn't it? C'mon, Kevin, time to be see the half-full glass again.

It's time
September 3, 2010

Like the iPod family, it's time for an update here at anzyme too. I've been quite emotional for the past few days, overwhelmed by the many events happened in the new term. Anyway after 3 days of exhaustion, I've finally calmed down. In fact, it took me some time to do that - 6 hours - to be exact. You see, I've had an exhausting day, so exhausting that I didn't bother to go home on a Friday, didn't keep my vow to refuse eating at CC, went to bed right after dinner at 9 pm and didn't wake up until 3 am. And here I'm, after 6 hours of sleep and a good shower, finally ready to restart my life. As I've said, I always enjoy blogging as a moment for me to refresh myself, to think over things, and so it's logical that I'm now fully awake, sitting in front of my mac to blog at 5 am, despite having a roommate, sleeping, behind me. Yes, this is my life.

So, what are so demanding today? Well, in the morning we met an unexpected tutor, Danny Low, who was OK. Having a strict but efficient tutor, like Danny Low or Winnie Choi, is way better than having inefficient ones such as P. Ng and C. Yu. And this had made my first polyclinic session in BDS IV efficient. After meeting friends in the afternoon, I went back to hall to tutor. It's great that my two jobs this year are all within my vicinity. But, well, if the job itself is enjoyable, I wouldn't mind going to further places, like Quarry Bay.

Btw,I got my IELTS result today. I don't recall having told many friends that I took IELTS. Why should I? That's not the main point though. It's that I couldn't cope with the stress, so I'd rather announcing that after I've taken it and got my result. So, sorry if you feel offended.

Kevin, you haven't told us what made you so emotional this week. Well, do you still want to hear it? I don't want to mention that any more; after all they're all history now. I'd just say, I kind of lost my cool on Wednesday due to blames that I normally can take; and I found that I've had enough of meaningless and time-wasting hall activities. Having seen the same things looping over and over again every year, it's conceivable for someone to wonder: what's the point of doing those things in the first place? Does 衝樓 bring personal growth? No. OK, maybe it's just for fun. But is that funny? No, not at all.

Apple announced the new iPod, new Apple TV, and new iTunes on Sept 1. What's pretty: the new UI of iTunes, SERVICE of new Apple TV. What sucks: new iTunes logo, new Apple TV (looks cheap), new nano. For the iTunes logo, I have someone to agree with me, though Steve didn't.
