Almost there
February 20, 2011

As some of you may notice, our visitor count is almost 70000. We shouldn't be able to pass the 70000th mark this month, but it'll definitely be reached next month. So, thank you in advance. In view of this, I've done a little analysis, inputing the visitor count in Excel and got some really interesting statistics. I put up a similar graph on this site's third anniversary in 2006, when the number just reached 16000. Throughout the years, the increase accelerated. The fastest growth was from 50000 visits to 60000 visits, when it took only 7 months to achieve. You should also be able to see that the growth accelerated since the 40000th visit. The monthly visits were in the low tide in 2008, but we were able to bounce back in 2009. And in 2010, we had an average of 1000 visits each month. I have to thank my reader for that. So, let's anticipate the 70000th visit in the coming March. Remember to capture your screen if you've got the 70000th visit.








Vday, key skill, more
February 16, 2011

Unexpectedly, I passed the impression key skill. I know you guys have a tendency to believe that I always overstate the difficulty of exams and understate my likelihood of passing them, but this key skill is stupidly hard to pass. KL passed two students out of four, and Pow failed all students. Interesting, isn't it? Anyway, I wish all those taking this key skill tomorrow good luck. Yep, passing this key skill requires pure luck. So, despite all the adversities I had anticipated for Vday (which include having to spend alone, and failing key skill), I had a happy Vday. M and I could meet that night, and I'm thrilled.

Btw, I intended to (re-)share this on Vday. It's old, but highly amusing. Perhaps it's even better to share this post-Vday, since there would be less hard feeling.


Rock the World
February 13, 2011

It perhaps is an overstatement to choose "Rock the World" as the theme of my site's 8th anniversary. After all, what I've done does not have a lasting impact like most geniuses in the world have created. However, my site has at least rocked my world. It serves as a place for big announcements, but more importantly, as I've mentioned many times before, as a place where I can share the bits and pieces in my life, which, when viewed months or even years later, could be interesting and reminiscent of the good times we once had. Reading the old stories and comparing them with the present day, we all start to miss the old days when we were young and carefree. But when we look at the past and see how foolish we once were, we appreciate what we have achieved today.

My site does have some benefits to the community, though. I like Thomas' example: he told me when he searched for "Yo Mama chocolate flavour", he got this entry from google. (Thanks, Thomas)

But let's forget about this vast ambition of impacting the world. This site was set up eight years ago for my own leisure as an amateur web designer. The original concept was to express "my thoughts in plain text". As the site grows (and as I grow up) I incorporate more and more incidents, which involve more and more people, into the context. The reader base has since diversified (not to a great extent though.. to date only an average of 30+ visits are recorded daily), and throughout the years people come and go, depending on what my site talks about. I would be happy to admit that this site could be a collective memory of my closest friends, who persistently read this site to see how I'm doing, and lately, to listen to my sorrowful complaints. I once thought this site entertains people. But now, as I look at how much this site means to me, the sort of precious memories and forgotten feelings that it reminds me of, the constant support that my dear friends have shown, I'm humbled. Now, please let me say a sincere thanks to this site, and most of all, to the people who have created and share the wonderful memories that this site records. You guys have truly rocked my world.


Hardest time is over
February 10, 2011

Alright, T2 in the morning wasn't so bad. Basically, with this new tutor, we don't really have to talk, which is good. We had lunch at Nice (尼斯), and surprisingly, the food was above expectation today. "Why so positive today?" asked someone. I guess I'm not totally positive. It's just my luck has turned to the upside lately. Let's hope that this shift of luck will not end until I've psased the key skill on Mon.

Speaking of ups and downs in life, I recalled something I've written in the past. And I'd like to share with you all:

情人節 - 有人說這是個不應光顧自修室的日子,
因為在這天出現,等於告訴全世界,你今日將會獨自度過。

這亦是我最初的想法。

但見到你孤然一人的人,自己又何嘗不是?

到了自修室,今日不比平日冷清。但明顯地,
平日打得火熱的情侶,今日不復存在。

今夜,在自修室留下的我,見到的,盡是扒兒。

各位,情人節快樂。

Looking at what I wrote a few years back, and looking at myself today, I know that the worst part in life is over. The glee and sorrow in the past have become irrelevant. What's important is that we look ahead, and try our best not to waste any other moment.

Bored
February 5, 2011

CNY is a time for boredom. Apart from reading, I can't figure out anything to do. But the problem is, even reading now seem too boring. CNY is supposed to be a time for celebration, but how come I find nothing in my life that worth celebration? Instead, I have endless worries. Will I pass my OR key skill? Will I get enough log cases? I know I should relax myself more, but I really can't.

Talking about celebration, Anzyme's 8th anniversary is coming. How should we celebrate then? Well, any idea?

CNY
February 3, 2011

HCNY! Well, I'm not particularly fond of cny, but I guess it's still a time for celebration. How's my first day of new year then? Well, it's not as boring as in previous years. I tried to make good use of my time by reading journals.. Since I'm not visiting Starbucks at Tai Po anymore, I went to PCC. So, my first cup of coffee in the Year of Rabbit came from PCC.

I decide to write my new year resolutions today. It's a bit late, after all, it's February. But since CNY is still new year, I guess it's ok.

1. Read more. It's officially one and a half year before graduation, so there's no time to waste.

2. Play more. Likewise, there will be no time to play after graduation, so I must make good use of time and fulfil the "dreams" which I have previously talked about.

3. Work out regularly. FYI, I weighed only 120lb back in F.7. So I guess it's time to stay in good shape.

4. Be more involved in my students' education. Previously, I regarded myself as a very good tutor. I cared much about each student's progress and devoted lots of time to prepare each session. But year 4 deprives much of my free time and I spend much less time planning for each tutorial class. My good practices in the past must be restored.

5. Learn to forget the deficiencies in my life and live happily. I have been thinking about my sadness so much, many of the things that worth celebration are neglected.


OK, I can't think of more. Those five things are important. Maybe I'll add some more later, but presently those are my foci.

Btw, I spent a nice day at Kowloon Tong and Kln City last week. It's been a long time since I visited there, and I did regain many valuable memories of the old days.
