It's the first free Saturday for me in months. All my AL students are now going to take exams, and I don't have tutorial classes any more. This concludes my five-year career as a tutor. It's sad, isn't it? But everything would eventually come to an end, so I shouldn't feel too emotional. I just wish my students every success.
How should I spend this free weekend then? I suppose I'll have to do some reading. And perhaps also finish Gao's work asap, so that I don't have to work on that in the run up to exam.
One more thing. I've downloaded the Photoshop CS 6 public beta. It's performing really well. Gizmodo gives an accurate comment: [the CS 6 is] the first version of Photoshop in more than a decade that has actually cleaned the interface, and focuses on the bare basics in order to save time for photographers and designers. This is great. I mean, when I started with photoshop 12 years ago, with every upgrade an important, revolutionary feature was added. In recent years only trivial features were added. A sad truth is that I'm relying on PS less and less, give that I've started using photo managing apps like Aperture, and that I don't have to do publication work any more. But still, photoshop will be missed, and will still be an important app for me for a long time.
Back in HK March 17, 2012
So, I'm a bit late in posting the first entry in March. Well, it's been one week since I'm back to HK, and I've restored fully into a Hong Kong person, or more precisely, a metropolitan. Yes, it's really the hustle and bustle in Hong Kong that fascinates me, and I admit that hardly can I become those lucky ones who can leave Hong Kong and enjoy life elsewhere. There's a price to pay - Hong Kong's increasing oddities. Yes, Hong Kong has its own problems. So do I.
I did encounter some problems at PP, though. As I've mentioned, we're often pushed to the limits at PP, in terms of our emotional quotient (EQ). And in this final module things are getting increasingly worse. A DSA was right: my luck has been spent on another day of the week. Luckily, for the latest unlucky week day, I'm no longer alone - my feelings are concurred by my fellow groupmates. And I thank them for that.
And my personal life is back to normal as well. I'm loved by a lot of people in HK, sometimes making me think that I'm one of the luckiest persons in the world. I'm hoping so much that these peaceful days will last.
But it probably won't. Exam is coming in two months. Pressure will rise. Let's hope that we'll just get through that okay.
