Jerry Maguire - Again...

I think it's at least the 3rd time i watch Jerry Maguire featuring Tom Cruise & Renee Zellweger. I can't believe it was first released back in 1996 though - ha, i'm really old cake i suppose...

Instead of Cuba Gooding Jr's overdoing "show me the money show me the money" quote, this is my favorite quote from the movie - when Jerry is getting back w/ Dorothy after Rod's great game:

"We live in a cynical world. A cynical world. And we work in a business of tough competitors. I love you. You... complete me."

how sweet....

I love this little movie....

Song from a friend...

I LOVE leon :P

Sayonara Oh (我的親愛)

＊其實仍然懷念你　溫馨的愛
在天色一黑會來到夢內
其實逐漸寂寞　還未有替代
仍是愛你　期望你會又不說自來
誰人能明白我　我將空虛掩篕
讓悲傷憂鬱痴情沉默到現在
明白現實是現實　明白總有意外
誰料我已永不懂再別愛...
(More)

...而為何心中總有情義在
你在我心頭像永遠沒變改...

Just maybe....

sometimes when one just expect too much the disappointment just magnify... yet when things just happen out of expectation it can just make one's day... :)

although it's just an hr at KFC, u made my day :D hahahaha

maybe that's called "surprise"...

但願人長久，千里共嬋娟。this is just exactly what I can do - which indeed I do feel grateful :D

how can u?

say that you don't care whatever i think? HUH?

maybe afterall i'm just thinking too much... stupid pisces (or just me being stupid again?)

Departure...

I think it's me being silly that i'm upset about departure - it's not the first time, and for very sure it won't be the last time... i'm so sure we'll cross each other's life again...

but that emptiness is still there... hmmm.. maybe it's the holiday seasons act as a catalyst...

《水調歌頭》蘇軾

人有悲歡離合，月有陰晴圓缺，

此事古難全。但願人長久，千里共嬋娟。

am addicted to Faye's version - just b/c... b/c it's Faye

既然不能事事盡如人意，盡善盡美，那麼我們何必奢求完美，何必為人力所不能為的事情而傷悲，為心有餘而力不逮的事情自責?!

Wine Tasting - First Frost Wine - Chabot 2004 (France)

so this was actually planned for try out when ed's here on christmas eve but turn out we didn't even touch it - so the goodies left to me (all by myself!) hahahahaha... so today's wine tasting - my first ice wine - French First Frost Wine Chabot 2004

Well, Ice wine was highly recommended by Clement at the beginning... I got this one at the DF on the way back from Geneva in March 2007. i don't remember how much it cost (probably 400 levels?).... the only thing i heard from Clem is that it's very sweet.... so here comes my first ice wine:

(close up here)

well, it wasn't too sweet - i mean, sweeter than normal white, kinda taste like plum?! but it's acceptable wor (maybe b/c i already had dinner and not having it w/ my meal?) it's very easy to "take in" , not dry at all, so ha, as u can see, i've already finished like half of it by myself - which, i don't think the rest of it will last too long :P

too bad ed miss this out hohohohohoho... too bad too bad :P

maybe next time i should try out Canadian one :) and for those who'll come back from the States or pass through Duty Free, u know what to get me! hahahahaha

Change Template again...

well, a couple of friends has "complain" about my new layout (always think their display card has problem) hahahahaha, so here i go,change the layout again.... i don't know if i've ever use this before - after all there's not much choice from the ready-made template from blogger - and i don't think i'll ever write one XDDDDDDDD

:D

Christmas recap...

last nite was a bit drunk so missed out quite a bit *LOL*

Here's the few recap:

Dinner - Harubang Korean Restaurant 哈魯邦韓國料理
Made reservation earlier so at least we can have a table :D hahaha well, I would say the food is so-so, not bad but not great great either (er.. korean bbq, what to expect?!) the only thing i probably wanna complain is that they're waaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy too under staff so they will only stop by your table more than 30 seconds when you order Coke (wakakakakkaakakakakakaka) :D


Movie - National Treasure - Books of Secrets
Well, let's put it this way, it's not bad at all - full of actions, fast pace for the entire 120+min, although i think all the riddles / clues are just way too "easy" to solve, it's movie worth to go gae :D i personally like Da Vince code more lor :P

Side note: Kim cher said she actually watched TWO movies - one is rated R ah! aiya, missed tim! hahahahahahahahaha

Drinks:
actually we didn't get that crazy or sth.... the whole light only finished 2 bottles of white not that much hahahaha... but then all the recent trials i still like the last one i had :P

The red I got for my birthday from smartone was =666666666 - maybe b/c i don't like red in the beginning.. well, let's put it this way, the smell and taste itself is very "complicated" - but the most outstanding taste is the wood @_@'' maybe it spse to taste like that?! just.. not my cup of tea lor hahaha

Games, DVDs...
I got sooo "prepared" for this little gathering - tons of chips (different types), chocolates, drinks, monopoly (although never play XD), UNO, DVDs... hahahaha... here's the final score:

Ed - 655
Kim - 892 <--- Queen of UNO la wakakaka
Yekini - 549
Emily - 620 (I was leading all along.. but then someone added me like 80 / 90 pts in the last few rounds lor)


I do had fun, hope the rest too...

P.S. not to mention, we actually have to go to Youtube to see how to open the wine using the wine opener hahahaha

Christmas eve's drinking party

so after the movie National Treasure - books of secret, we finished the movie at around mid nite - which is the christmas 2007 :D

we went back home and .. well, start out drinking with a couple games of UNO.. and watch some DVD (Leo's concert and David to's)... well, update score for now:

Ed Yekini kim me
286 274 607 201

hoohohoh

how much have we drink? let's see.. we finished 1 bottle of semillion chadonnay from australia, half a bottle of the red, and begin w/ the 2nd white now.. not that much at all (ha, i drank most of it anyway)

oh, and numerous chips..... and chocolates :D

i'm having a fun time :D

FW: article from Facebook

hmm... lately got a whole bunch of fwd articles about relationship and how to maintain them... ha, i think this is another twist :D

感嘆男人 :
有才華的長的醜, 長的帥的掙錢少, 掙錢多的不顧家, 顧家的沒出息,
有出息的不浪漫, 會浪漫的靠不住, 靠的住的又窩囊.

感嘆女人 :
漂亮的不下廚房, 下廚房的不溫柔, 溫柔的沒主見, 有主見的沒女人味,
有女人味的亂花錢, 不亂花錢的不時尚, 時尚的不放心, 放心的沒法看.

老婆是電視, 情人是手機, 在家看電視, 出門帶手機, 破產賣電視, 發財換手機,
偶爾看電視, 整天玩手機, 電視終身不收費, 手機欠費就停機.

做女人一定要經得起謊言, 受得起敷衍, 忍得住欺騙, 忘得了諾言 ,
寧願相信世上有鬼, 也不能相信男人那張嘴 ……

Reminder to myself...

when 2 women are fighting - never get oneself into it - as it ends up as 3 women's fight and things will only get worse

Miriam - 陌路

whom i've love in the last 10 yrs? many faces come up... but i guess most of them are like this song - my current favorite...



陌路

歌手：楊千嬅
作曲 / 編曲/監製：雷頌德
填詞：林夕

這世界到處也有面善路人 擦過了多少腳印
誰人能合襯 遠或近 最終都可接吻
有人 便有美滿人生

喜歡你 無奈再見到你已像陌路人
情能夠陷到幾深 這麼近 這麼近
卻彷似相差一世 至少 分手也甘心

我怎可能離不開 捱到現在
人潮裡面學會等待
那次偶遇你的愛 你不愛 我肯愛
還有很多個對手相愛
縱使感情離不開 人已不在
如能瞑目後便看開
對我最大的感慨 你不愛 他會愛
可惜他也許 與我擦過于滄海

重遇你 發覺你再美也像面善路人
而懷緬又有幾真 這麼遠 這麼遠
卻彷似相差一吻
至少 客氣得可親

我怎可能離不開 捱到現在
人潮裡面學會等待
那次偶遇你的愛 你不愛 我肯愛
還有很多個對手相愛
縱使感情離不開 人已不在
如能瞑目後便看開
對我最大的感慨 你不愛 他會愛
可惜他也許 與我擦過于滄海

而其實我早應該 絕口不說舊愛
否則怎顯得死性肯改
從前受夠了傷害 若得到有人愛
幸福點也應該
我怎可能離不開 捱到現在
人們碰面後便散開
那次偶遇你的愛 你不愛 我肯愛
還有很多個對手相愛
縱使感情離不開 人已不在
如能瞑目後便看開
對我最大的感慨
你不愛 他會愛
可惜他也許 與我擦過于滄海

錯過了這接力賽

"Another 10 year" - 903 concert

又一個叱吒十年回歸音樂會

Thanks to my friends got a chance to go to a concert organized by 903. Well, it's WAYYYYYYYYy far out at the Asia Expo (we later found that time required to commute back and forth is as long as the concert itself!) but then overall the concert is well worth it :D



The theme of the concert is "10 yr - review". The whole show is about 3 hrs (2050 to 2330), with 7 sections with a storyline (although weak), trying to ask the audience to review whom they've love, what they've learn, what they've got etc in the last 10 yrs. Also remembering some of the big stars like Lo-man, Leslie, Anita, Lam Mun Chung & Wong Jim together.

Nice run down as far as one can tell all 6 singers have been well prepared and put efforts to rehearse. Audio setting is a LOT better than many recent concerts I've been. For the individual live performance-wise, I think miriam hasn't done enough homework and didn't really "warm up" until later part of the concert; eason was soooo into the concert, barvo! hocc can dance VERY WELL and i think her voice is a lot more "stable" now!! Joey - well, nice voice, but found that she can't sing others' songs well, nor she can duet good w/ others (swap many songs in between); Leo - just average, not much special; lastly andy hui - well, he can really sing, but then it's a pity he can't survive in the entertainment business like before due to his behavior...

one of the surprise is that at the very end there's a surprise guest - Sandy Lam!! Although i'm not a fans of her but i think she is really a great singer - none of the female singers tonite can match w/ her performance.

One of the many good things - there's practically NO TALKING / BLOWING WATER in between!! Just plain music! :D Good show!

Another Friday's Happy Hr...

So tonite big den fly aeroplane (what's new!?) hahah.. so anyway, turn out only my friend and cute classmate came for happy hr *LOL* ANYWAY, it was cool to just get together and have a few beers -esp. after a FEW hrs WAITING at HSBC V.V Anyway, it's always good to get together, well, probably except the fact that we had just a bit too much peanuts XDDDDDD

one interesting thing my friend pointed out though - although i have been back for so many yrs, most of my "new" friends (whom I know AFTER i came back and can get well / along) are mostly w/ "out of HK" background. I didn't really think about it until my friend pt it out - well, i don't think it is something "bad" - but definitely i think it's a "problem".... is it b/c i still haven't get rid of that "gwai low" style? am i just being discriminative? or???

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

ANYWAY.... i just think the most important thing when it comes to friends are having a good time together, regardless whether we're drinking beer / wine / dining (or in this case, "study") *LOL* Back to the point, i think i've to admit that even nowadays I still think (and feel) that it's just so much easier to "click" w/ those "out of HK" background ppl if u know what i mean...

ANYWAY.....

after the drink (+dinner) my friend and i were thinking to watch 神探 (Mad Detective) at Taikoo but then when we got there all good tickets are sold (well, it's FRIDAY!) hahaha.. oh well, maybe some time later - also realize that I haven't been to a movie for a very long time... hmmmmm

Life is suppose to be more "in order" but frankly speaking the last 2 "free" wks are just totally screwed... okay, after tmr (903 concert) and sunday (Captain's wedding banquet) I will switch back to a "more-normal" life style - as 1st module of CPM exam is less than 10 days from now! >.<

New Start~~~~

so, here it's, new layout! :D

i also formatted my computer today - the display card just wouldn't work properly... so, backup all the stuffs in the last 6 months (just picts is 3.5+Gb!!!) *LOL*

Well, just like any other time w/ new computer - need to reinstall and setup whole bunch of stuffs (like the Wireless V_V... oh, i think iTune will be a pain too)... I am wondering if i should buy m/s office and acrobat writer.... HMMMM....

and i really need to clean up my room this wk.... *LOL*

new start, it's time, to start a new life - at least from the personal level (still looking for jobs)... well... i know pisces too... but hmm.. i'll take it step by step XD

hmm...

i guess funny that i always have many guys around me in my life.. yet i can't find one for life....

Miriam + Daniel...

was just surfing youtube and found some of miriam's songs... i still don't remember why i skipped this movie?? but probably this video has the whole storyline already... daniel is sooo cute XD

千杯不醉 (Drink drank drunk)

but of course the "best" (i think first?) movie between miriam and daniel is Love Undercover (新紮師妹)

2nd one is funny too (but i think the theme song 咬唇 is a bit "not fitted")

But between Miriam and Daniel, i think the best is 飛女正傳 MTV... hahahahaha


P.S. I don't remember watching these interviews before woh:
新紮師妹2 拍攝花絮 - 芳華再現

新紮師妹2 拍攝花絮- 情傾黃埔江

新紮師妹2 拍攝花絮- 方麗娟悍衛愛情

Skip class for dinner?!

no calculation... cute guy vs. boring teacher - i chose the "more interesting" one XDDDDDDD

This wk's review...

well, want to jog down this wk's event... i've been very bad in blogging these days (too much time spent on facebook i guess! XD) Anyway, i don't think there's much "difference" than any other ordinary days :P except the fact that other then Monday i've never got up before 10 *LOL* (well, hopefully i can change that to 9 by this wk) :P

so Monday was my last day at work. yep i think i've downloaded all the stuffs i wanted (although may not be appreciated anyway). So, that's it. I'm STILL WAITING for their pay cheque (yeah, they still haven't pay me!!!!). To be honest for the last few days from time to time i've a flash thoughts of "regret" that i quited so "early" - but then i keep telling myself if i haven't quit they won't let me stay anyway. Afterall i still think my decision is correct.

So i've been keeping myself busy (for?) haha.. well, i should have study for today's exam (*LOL*) but didn't really start until like Wed XDDDD Tuesday i just had dinner w/ ah goh and man's family w/ mom at Thai Simple. Mom got me tiramisu birthday cake (yeah!) so it was great :)

On wed (birthday), actually didn't have much birthday celebration *LOL* Went to visit grandma & grandpa's grave - it has been a LONG time since the last time i visited them. I got some cakes, milk, and duck wings (as one nite i dreamed about grandma having chicken wing haha). i do miss her though, time sure flies and she had left for 2 yrs... hmmmmm..

After that had dinner w/ ASAT folks at Dan Ryan - Captain's turn to hand us his wedding invitation. well, frankly speaking i think Nelson being there is kinda weird but anyway, guess just had a gathering time and who cares :P had ice-cream (at Pacific coffee again!) afterward so didn't get home until like after midnite

well, Thursday i just stayed at home and had dinner w/ mom (yeah, john fly me aeroplane)... oh well, really go irritated by his childish behavior some time, but oh well, had a long discussion w/ gerry - and afterall i think i shouldn't be so stubborn on things anyway

Friday had dinner w/ aunt connie and grandma - it's kinda weird - just awkward. i don't enjoy the dinner, can't feel the bond and etc etc.... (and made me waited 40 minutes for them to show up! gosh!)... hmmmmm

last nite had dinner and drinks with eric and rest of purdue gangs... well, it was okay to hang out i guess... nothing much special though (as half of the ppl graduate after 2005!!) ha... oh, richard is getting marry next Sept... 2nd after vicky in our gangs...

today's exam was alright and the module 2 had finally finished.. 1 down, 3 more to go (and 4 more public exam to go). Need to study for module 1's exam on the coming wk. night class was canceled so just got home and had dinner. mom isn't home during wkend as usual....

so, that's i turn to another "digit" of my age XD

Annual Dinner - Bubba Gump (and Cheesecake Cafe)

ops, some old entries XD

===
so tonite (Nov 11) went to the annual dinner w/ my eating buddy - MY TURN to pick! *LOL*

know about this Bubba Gump restaurant during last visit of the Peak w/ Ceci & Andy - and many of you might have know Forrest Gump is my all-time-favorite - so this yr i just wanna chk this out :D

Hmm.. well, i forgot my camera so i didn't take much picts - the rest. decoration are just awesome - as forrest quotes is everywhere - and they've funny signs everywhere like "Run Forrest Run", or "Stop Forrest Stop" (to stop the server for assistance)

Let's dig in what we've ordered... well, we've ordered Cajun Shrimp as appetizer, the sauce taste good but think would taste a lot better if the food is HOT instead of just temperature warm! then we'd caesar salad (so-so)... for entree we ordered shrimp scapmi and shrimp linguine - my shrimp scapmi taste good but the portion is just a bit too big! :P haha I'll give 5/5 for my drink though - "Jenny's favorite" - it's actually quite refreshing as i didn't expect the taste to be anything special (it's strawberries, cranberry juice, and raspberry non-fat yogurt)


me w/ my food! *LOL* and the garlic bread is nice too! :D

although we're sooooooo stuffed we still ordered desert - chocolate chip cookie sundae! (alright, this is taken when we're almost done wakakakkakaka)



Service level - I'll only give a 3/5, $ wise i think it's 3/5 (at the Peak of course expensive ga la). i didn't ask them to sing a birthday song for me as i heard 3 times during the time i was waiting for eating buddy loh (hahaha, huge line at the Peak Tram woh). We did walk around the peak after the dinner - nite was spectacular (very clear sky!) but it was a bit chilly so didin't stay too long...

took the tram back down to admiralty (it's super crowded!) i had a great time and feel very grateful eating budding squeeze out his busy schedule and celebrate for me. :)

P.S. i can't believe they now charge ppl $20 to go out the roof of the Peak building to see the view! it used to be FREE! $%^&^%$#@

P.P.S. went to Megabox Cheesecake Cafe for eating buddy's birthday - food is alright... cheesecake is fabulous - and i couldn't finish my linguine so gotta take home :D

No more "serious" happy hr on wkday!

so last nite ended up happy hr at Inn Side Out from like 730 - 10(?) just kinda lost count how many beers i had (wakakakkaka) - well, i guess JUST below the line as I STILL KNOW HOW TO GET HOME BY MYSELF XD

*LOL*

It feels good to expand the social network. seeing more things and "out of the box". and some times some ppl can just click, u know what i mean? I don't remember when was the last time i can know someone and call "friends" that is not through work. It is also good to know that things u're doing facing at work is not the "only" world... i guess networking with ppl in the same field really helps out, which i found quite difficult previously...

Anyway, one side note is that this type of "serious" happy hr (i.e. serious drinking) isn't really my cup of tea XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD *LOL*

P.S.
- Actually i had.. like 3/4 beers... 2 i ordred... the last 2 glasses someone ordered and insist sharing (@_@;)
- No, it wasn't a date, it's a social gathering with classmateS XD <-- note that "s"
- FYI he's another scropio too! *LOL* (and cpm14, i didn't bring a hororscope book with me, although i think ur idea is quite "innovative" wakakakakakka

what else is going on.. oh yeah, i am/was SICK - seriously, not faking... got that big infection thing comes back.. on antibiotics for the last 5 days already but not yet fully recover...oh well the Dr. said it's recovering so I guess i just need to give it some time to heal... i think i might have got a cold too.. starting to have headache today >.<

mom is on "honeymoon" this wk so i'm home alone w/ elvin. the living room is already like a mess hahahahahahahahaa okay la, can clean up later ma wakakakaka..

talk about next wk... although last day is Monday, next wk is pretty much fully book - well, actually the dinner started just Monday - katie's treat! hohohoho... and then followed by the 2nd "annual" dinner w/ eating buddy this Sat (HERE on my request!) wakakakkaa.. then Monday nite class, Tuesday i guess i should have dinner w/ mom.. Wed dinner w/ ASAT ppl, thursday reunion with Eric S... Friday free? and Sat k woh keekee

so busy XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

oh, and not to mention, this Thursday will meet up cute classmate! hahaha (but of course, just for class stuffs) :P

I'll never sleep in the MTR again... >.<

On the way to work i ran into one of my classmates this morning - but man, it's sooo embrassed when he said, "oh i don't wanna disturb you earlier" and i was like "SXXX, how in the world i don't realize we're on the same train for the whole 20 min!?

it's because i WAS SLEEPING @#$%^ *&^$#@

I should have just read my book all along.... and show the "better" side of mine ma!!!!!!

*Alright i know it's kinda funny when i look back, but i am totally totally not expect to run into him on the way to work as he spse to WALK to work daily - taking MTR today just b/c he has to go to China for biz trip*

geez.. no luck XD

mood swing...

i really thought i've put you down - but NOPE, it's wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy the other way around!!!!

but then at least u don't know - if i were in your position i'll also feel terrible as i'll feel so squeezed and running out of space!!

Negative energy has been evaluated to a level that is reaching.. oh i don't know! decision at work has been made, and i don't think that's what bothers me all along, just a matter of a few more days... so what's it then? everything i "feel" can make my tears comes out.

what's it? maybe it's the marriage? but at one side i know that it's nothing much i can do... i'll just let it flow...

but then what's it????????????????????????????????????????

my friend always said i think too much... i also feel like lately i think WAY TOO MUCH - am i sick and start imagining things?? i even imagine how it would be if you're just right here this moment!

but of course, i know it's not going to happen...

was watching the Healing Hands III earlier, 1st episode of the 3rd season tonite. it's just sad to know that 唐永全 (Jackie's dad) has passed away due to SARS, and at the end of 1st episode also Tracy committed suicide. Why making everyone dies? i still think Paul goes the best with Jackie. (not even Tracy). maybe b/c of 1st impression? I feel sorry for Paul, and Henry too. maybe they just want to make the drama "dramatic".

but in reality life is bitter anyway

hmmm... i think i'll go crazy when i start sitting home and do nothing in the next few weeks.

FW: horoscope vs. ur loved one.... (appledaily)

so i'm 疑心重又小器, don't mess with me! hahahahaha

(well, i think only 50/50 true je) hahahahaha just another reference loh.. jhohoh

星座露底　摸透情人

一個人的優點，同時是他的缺點，聽來矛盾，卻也有其道理。例如凡事有主見的人，他也容易流於固執；對別人不斤斤計較，就難免自己也隨便起來，做事得過且過。今日就看看各星座性格中隱藏了的缺點；讓你全面掌握愛人或工作上夥伴的優缺點 知己知彼，百戰百勝啊！

金牛座 - 固執死撐不認錯
金牛座以固執馳名，當他認為自己是對的，便絕不輕易改變，更自以為 IQ 及 EQ 高人一等。就算結果錯了，還是死撐，不肯認錯。

對付方法：小事由得他從錯誤中學習好了，大事則惟有在他固執己見前作出提醒。

白羊座 - 自以為是太可笑
白羊座的聰明，有時只是井蛙之見，以自己生活的細小世界，看待世界及別人，視野狹隘；他們卻自以為聰明，還要看不起別人，實在可笑。

對付方法：給他多點時間集意見或訊息，別急於跟他爭拗。

雙子座 - 虛有其表扮晒
雙子座只會做對自己有利的事，並且用盡方法掩飾其不足，又喜歡「借用」他人 idea ，跟他相處日久，自會發現他虛有其表；一切只因他缺乏安全感。

對付方法：別輕信他誇誇其談，給他一份安全感，讓他敢說真話。

巨蟹座- 怕人中傷乜都記
巨蟹座的人記憶超強，就算是芝麻小事，他也能在二十年後記起，你或會佩服他有的強勁記憶能力，但實情是，他們因怕被人中傷，惟有記下所有事，以便隨時反擊。

對付方法：一是裝作沒記性，別跟他計較；一是比他更強，事無大小都要一清二楚，但這樣太辛苦了吧！

獅子座 - 讚美至聽
獅子座是一個聽不懂他人說話的人，有人說他懷話，他認為那是妒忌他；別人對他好言相勸，他覺得那人背叛他；只有讚美的說話，他才會相信，面子對他來說，凌駕一切。

對付方法：對咁自大人，一係擦晒鞋，一係講拜拜，隨便！

處女座 - 最緊要家開心
處女座的人永遠只看眼前事，從來不會有遠見，就算知道將來對他會造成傷害，也會不顧後果，典型只求眼前歡。因他覺得船到橋頭自然直，天大的事總能解決。

對付方法：不斷製造驚喜和新鮮感，才能留住他，否則他就會移情別戀了。

天秤座 - 永遠失衡的秤子
天秤座是凡事講求公平、公正，口中老是想對所有人公平；實際上最不公平的便是他自己，公正永遠只會落在他身上，用自己一套獨特的方法去衡量別人。

對付方法：要不經意地給他甜頭，他數時，覺得其他人亦冇蝕底。

天蠍座 - 疑心重又小器
在天蠍座的眼中，所有人都是低等動物，卻不知道在別人眼中，他可能連動物都不如！常懷疑別人欺騙他，一切源於他的自私和小器而已。

對付方法：如果遷就解決不了，就要講事實，說道理。

人馬座 - 軟皮蛇沒骨氣
人馬座最擅長在事情搞砸後，第一時間逃之夭夭。直至東窗事發，還會沒事人一樣，出來和眾人「緝兇」。最可憐的是，他還以為自己是世上最聰明的人，只有自己才想到這樣做。

對付方法：所謂捉賊拿贓，捉姦在床，必須快過他揭發真相。

山羊座 - 墨守成規野心大
山羊座表面看來，很有情趣，性格開朗；時間長了，便會發現原來一切全是假象，實情他是個墨守成規的人，表現出開朗活潑，只因他的野心，希望朋友有朝一日，能助他踏上成功之路。

對付方法：享受他給你的生活情趣，但時不時要回報一下，這樣大家 Happy，又一日。

水瓶座 - 我行我素走精面
水瓶座的人自以為精明，只不勞而獲；從不關心別人對自己的看法，總之我行我素，如你想糾正他的想法，他只會反駁你，更奇怪何以你的思想如此奇怪。

對付方法：比他更精刮，算到盡，他自然知難而退，也明白精得滯是幾咁討厭！

雙魚座 - 混淆現實與幻想
雙魚座是個幻想主義者，腦海只會想些超現實的事情，常認為自己想的都可行，終有一天可實現，活在自我世界中，嚴重的時候還會把幻想及現實世界混淆。

對付方法：既然充滿幻想，不如叫他從事創作，定有所成

it's here it's here!!!!!

it's here it's here :D






P.S. well, i KNOW it's not going to be the CORRECT version.... hahaha.. now should i just keep my "collection" with 2 WEIRD edition?
akkakakakakaka

P.P.S.i didn't know US post office no longer offer vessel shipment - REALLY????

Updates updates...

okay, as complained by a "certified (dead)" blogger I will give a CPR to my blog :D

just want to jog down some random misc. stuffs...

Today: it's here it's here it's here!! just got the notice from the post office (okay, i THINK that's it, i don't know, let's see tmr! XD) well i didn't expect it arrive so quickly?? i thought it was shipped by VESSEL Hmm... maybe he didn't send it out by himself but only send through online arrangement?? nevertheless it's HERE! :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

earlier tonite - went hh w/ some of the purdue folks - it's nice to get around with some YOUNGER folks :D too bad not many can make it but still good to go for hh - it's always nice to have a beer :) then went to "window" shopping w/ natalie, sometimes i think she's just soooo naive - i mean, in a 'good" way if u know what i mean. it's so comfortable to hang around w/ someone u don't have to worry about... very difficult these days to know new friends w/o the sense of "pushing away / keeping distance" if u know what i mean

this wk was a "okay-wk" at work - in the sense that ppl @ work do not give nonsense time consuming / energy wasting meeting - just ive up on me (Oh well)... i'm still struggling between the decision - i thought i had made the decision, but today i AGAIN have 2nd though. Still have NO CLUE what i will / wanna do?? best scenario is of course w/o choosing either decision..... i don't know... let's see.

haven't studied for the 2 wks as last wkend went to Kenting + Kaoshung with yekini... it was quite a rush trip (finished almost ALL tourist spots in the shortest time!!) hahaha... sure had fun though... next time we need to plan for a more relaxing one :D here's my "harvest" during taiwan trip:

(side note: probably spent too much on books!!! also got another book Completing in a Flat World by the Li & Fung's brother.. think will be quite interesting~~)

need to catch up some studies tomorrow... :P

Before the trip talked to cees for like 2 hrs for 1 bad news and 1 good news... oh well! she also wrote me a "pre-caution" email today and i replied with a 3 pages long email... didn't have a good chance to catch her up on the phone though.. hmm.. maybe during the wkend i spse....

alright i'll stop.. .it's 0338 and i better get some sleep - then get up and go to the post office before it closes at 1300 :D

i think i realize what the problem is...

it's the difference between "us/we/ours..."vs "i/me/my"

while u're in my every single "phrase" of my "spring autumn big dream", i see your version is only "you"....

that's the reason why "it's not clicking" yet, neither's fault, just, "not matching...

Concert Review: Miriam's All About Love 2007

it has been a long time since i went to last concert (when was it?!) Anyway, so last nite went to Miriam's concert - it's the 1st nite :D hohoho

with the recent canton pop female singers i like miriam all along - as a person i think she's very "real" in many occasions, and also her songs are very k-able ma~ :P I didn't realize it has been THREE yrs since her last concert (i think i went to that one as well)... i'm surprised there's quite some songs i don't know (probably before my days in HK)... but in overall i think the concert has been well planned, many new ideas / figures / fresh feelings (Including half an hr game show in between - look under your chair to see if you've been "tagged" for free watches!) hahaha.

well although i didn't win any watches I did enjoy a lot :) i still have no clue what's the hair stylists are sponsoring for the dancers' hair designs - as practically the wear hat all the time!? hahahaha.. and oh, i think one of the best part is this:



koo is so cute hohohohohohohoho XD

One things after miriam changed her company is that - she didn't LAUGH THAT HARD as much anymore - oh, and not to mention, she talks like Leon (xxx - depends on "yuen"...)

wakakakakakaka

did have fun... thanks for yekini always being there and go to show together :) next time i won't shout that loud!! hahahaa

墮入愛河的男女，愛得癡纏，愛得轟烈。然而一旦失戀，就好像世界末日。如果當戀 情消逝，你仍抓緊不放手，整天沉醉於緬懷昔日的甜蜜，不停思想分手的原由，並拒絕發展新的戀情等這些徵兆，那麼你便有可能患上「非君不要」失戀症候群了。以下的測驗可讓你知道自己對失戀所持的態度是否健康。

分析
A. 認定一人

你對戀愛抱有非常「純 潔」的憧憬，認定這是命中注定、「非君不要」的戀情，所以不能接受失戀的事實，並認定對方是生命中最好並唯一的情人，常緬懷過去。

病情嚴重程度：★★★★

藥方：要放開胸懷，認識多些不同性格的異性朋友，由普通朋友開始，讓自己對其他異性發生興趣 。

B. 舊情難忘

當 戀愛結束後，雖然你會很理智地忘記戀情，重新開始，只是當新戀人出現後，你又會想起舊情人，甚至對新戀情抱有罪疚感，覺得對不起以前的男/女友。

病情嚴重程度：★★★

藥方：所有讓你想起舊情人的東西都要拋棄，如相片、電話號碼、Email、禮物等。他的一切都要在你腦海中消失，集中精力開始新的戀情。

C. 偶爾失神

對 於擁有豐富戀愛經驗的你，在處理失戀時能夠表現理性，馬上收拾情緒積極地發展新的戀情。但說到底都只是頭腦上明白，稍一不留神便想起舊情人的種種。

病情嚴重程度：★★

藥方：應發展多方面興趣並多學習新事物，讓自己沒有時間想往事。而且，讓自己煥然一新有助遇上新的戀情。

D. 重蹈覆轍

你 是完全不介意失戀的。你認為失戀後，便應該馬上四出找機會發展新的戀情。然而，由於缺乏反省及對愛情的激情不足，每次失戀都不斷重蹈覆轍。

病情嚴重程度： ★

藥方：你的缺點是缺乏耐性的思考及對戀愛缺乏投入感。應該多看一些電影及小說的愛情巨著，從中學習戀愛的課題，並增加自己對愛情的感動。

Another post for my dinner tonite....

So it's weekend and mom isn't home and so i decide to cook tonite... XD

well, i was out around lunch time as i've to stop by the post office to mail 3 parcels to HI, MI and IL (hahahaha..) anyway, so on the way back i was thinking about what to have for dinner (as i don't wanna climb 6 floors again!) hahaha...

so what to have?! well, i feel like trying another wine from the wine shop nearby, and considering i can cook 'italian based" only (wakakkaka), i decided to have some fettuccine with white sauce....

i got some canned soup (clam chowder), and the noodles - then go to the wine shop - and GEEZ, it won't open until 3 pm!??!? WHAT?! it was only 13:30! #$%^&*#$%^&*(

FINE, so i went to another park'n'shop to finish my shopping (the one near my place sucks - they don't even have the cream needed for the white sauce base!) I tried to pick up some wine too but all they have are either too dry or - just red wine @_@; i figure out anything i've at home is probably better than what they've there! XD

so ANYWAY, here's what i'd tonite:

• Potatoes - just boiled, flavor with garlic salt, italian mixed herbs
• Chicken filet - pan fried with olive oil, similar seasoning as potatoes, adding a bit more black pepper
• Sweet peas - boiled

and added some cream sauce with white mushroom on top of it (not the "gold mushroom.. hm... i don't know what it call?!

oh, wait, that isn't quite yet done, this is the "done" version:

yep, turn out i didn't have any fettuccine - as i figure out the potato shall fill me up alright. (I was thinking to have mashed potatoes - but noah, too much work) wakakkaa...

turn out the taste is really okay ga ! hahahahaa.. just that it got a bit cold (i cooked too slowly gwa)... and it's a pity i didn't have any wine to go w/ the meal loh...

hahaha... time to sharpen my cookery skill again :D

become dumper...

while yekini is talking about 強迫症, I think i'm totally addicted to the internet (facebook / email) - and one more thing - NDS...

"...強迫症是焦慮症的其中一種，患者透過重覆思想或行為，焦慮意識就會減低。當焦慮感加強，重覆行為又會再次出現。患者通常都知道自己備受重覆行為所困擾，但沒法子停下來。..."

i used to "forbidden" myself to play NDS during wkday (it's so severe!!) but now i played daily - same game - i don't know what I'm doing, just "played" - not even watching TV completely... what's scarier, is that one of the program is "brain training"... repeating some "brain exercise" daily (used to be), u know... and seeing my "brain scorecard" i found that my brain Q has be on a downward trend!!!!! although the sloop is quite flat, but definitely i was "dumber" than i was a month ago!!!

OH NO!! what to do now?? i think it's b/c i keep playing a "relaxing" NDS game, and not doing enough brain training (er... not to mention the ppl working aroud w/ now)....

i really need to study more.... read more, and play nds.... V_V

weird dreams - test subj??

i always have weird dreams (more weird that i remember quite good amt of it...).. figure i shall start blogging my dreams XDDD

Dream of the day - Test Subj...

Last nite i dreamed that i was a "medical testing subj" - testing" a new medicine or sth...

so i was lying on the "surgery" bed (those stainless steel type)... and they injected something into me.... From my understanding that injection suppose to "decompose" me into particles and "reunite" me in the other place - u know, just like those "space travel" in sci-fri...

but after they injected the thing i realize (from the Drs around me) that the injection doesn't work what it suppose to - i saw their face are w/ weird expression - and the only thing i know is that my hair changed to yellowish grey (no mirror around but i had super long hair then)... my muscle became hard and I don't feel a thing...

My friend thinks it's FUNNY but i think it's scary loh @_@.... Maybe it's b/c i watched Doraemon the day before?!

wakakakkakakakaka, alright, it's indeed kinda funny XD

Thai Simple Kitchen....

well today i am so stupid - i THOUGHT there was class but NOPE, there wasn't... @_@; ANYWAY so, i went for thai w/ yekini instead (and yes, i had "dinner" before) wakakakakkaa

so the first one is snack - it's called "woh" "ba" - rice crispy with a special sauce (taste like curry).


turn out it's very good - the rice crispy is very fresh (crispy, still hot!) and the curry is very tasty!! wow, it's really good and out of expectation...

then we've tong yum gong - well, to me it's just so-so - the taste it strong, but i think it's a bit too salty - can be a bit spicier, and i think for some reason can't taste much of the seafood...


lastly we ordered this "wooden bucket rice" (afterall yekini haven't have dinner yet) - it looks just so-so - but then after we mix it we found it's also very tasty too!! i mean, the depth of taste is very rich.... yummy!!!!


I think it's really a surprise (maybe we haven't expected much?) i mean, i think it worth to wait for half an hr (although we got there at 9!!!) a definite on "will visit again" list :D

Price wise is absolutely okay, i think this is definitely better than my 'used-to-be' favorite thai restaurant in Times Square.. hahahaha

After dinner also ran into Adley on the way to bus stop (we chose to walk 2 bus stops - the one down on the other side of Victoria Park - we were just too full (can't even finish the meal!) i can't even remember when was the last time i met him in person!! must be years ago.... so he has changed his job and moved to Wong Tai Sin... wow... i think i should call him out and catch up with him...

it's just... so different.... my friend said one's life depends on oneself rather than family... true.. but still.. it's so.. just so different....

anyway, although i've a bad hair day... thanks for yekini being my company for such a great meal :D

Mid Autumn Fest and Misc....

Well i know i know, it isn't the best pict - just taken when i was taking elvin to bathroom w/ my mobile XD so okay la...

so what did i do for the mid autumn fest? well, sadly i was home alone - well, not quite as I was w/ elvin... well, too bad that i needed to take him to the vet during day time (yeah, some problem w/ him AGAIN).... but hopefully it will clear up within the next few days (yeah, after all my $$ gone AGAIN!)... hmm.. what else.... slept in very well - probably slept too deep so i got - "sleep" "short""neck" - neck still hurt today @_@;;''

what else... well, i did do "traditional" thing for mid-autumn fest - ate moon cake (too much~) hahaha.. .and ate "crystal pear" - mom also made some "icy skin" mooncake which i also ate one XD (small one la of course)....

hmm.. what else?! nothing much la.. haha, no study, nor cleaning up my room - just like another typical holiday XD

***now you know what i didn't blog much - just nothing special*** kekeke

A (back dated) note from Venetian Resort Hotel - Macau

Almost forgot - last weekend went to Macau (for a bit more than 24 hrs) - and stayed in the legendary Venetian Resort hotel - haha, of course i'm not paying USD400 per nite out of my pocket - it's company sponsored leisure trip (yeppy!!) a total of 170 ppl went! wow...



Well, what can i said? i'm just lucky as it turns out my assigned roommate "disappeared" and i've the Suite ALL BY MYSELF! hohohohoho.. it's so crazy... the room itself is LARGER than my apartment i'm staying in HK now @.@ Of course i had a LONG and WONDERFUL BATH wakakakakakkakakaka... they even have TWO TV in the room - one opposite the beds (have i mentioned it's 6X6?!) and the other one located in the little living room area... a fax machine, free internet (too bad i don't have my laptop)...

here's the video... YES, i KNOW YOU CAN'T TILT for a video, wakakak but still!!! it's just crazy kekekeke

Current listening - Avril Lavigne

Girlfriend

Tonite's dinner...

Well although mom cooked with a dozen dishes (literally!) and got both the fridge filled, I wanna have something difference tonite:


Actually it's b/c on the way home i pass by a nearby wine shop - so just ask the lady for a white wine which is "sweet, not too dry"... turns out this is indeed pretty nice (maybe don't have much expectation?!) it's not dry at all, and not too sweet / fruity... pretty nice

Updates... miscellaneous

all of a sudden wanna write blog in Chinese... but oh well, don't have a handy way, so forget it..

haven't blog for a very long time.... timing, mood, laziness.. etc etc... "new" work is still stressful - quite a challenge indeed. the job nature itself is easy no problem, but the EQ required is terribly HIGH standard...

2 out of 3 classes just started this wk - was an intensive wk as 1 of the classes reschedule to this wk (so 3 classes altogether).. man, it's very tiring (mentally) to have 2.5 hrs lecture after work.. I just have to hang in there... for another 10 months minimum.....

in terms of relationship... some times it's really out of anyone's control... when i think things are "low" it actually wasn't too bad - and when i think things are "doing okay" it always strike my back... I guess i'm not "sad" or anything, just disappointed after all these yrs someone still doesn't understand me as much as i expected (why expect at the first place lei!?)

Reminds me of Wyman's lyrics


OH well.. still my favorite k song....

on the other hand i do thankful for the friends i've.. although some just "blow water" daily, still shows the "heart" and sincerity - and not to mention those who's w/ me side by side and takes up all the crabs i repeat and repeat and repeat all the times... i really do feel lucky and thankful - "what i do w/o you" - as stated on my MSN, is not to a particular individual, it's to all ppl around me - those who went crazy concert w/; those who just hang out w/ me and sing k / talk on the phone marathon; those who went fine dining w/ me, those who... just around me - or just ask how come i haven't blog for a long time. You don't know a little word / act can mean so much to me and cheer up my day! :) *alright, those who said will have dinner but turn out haven't met for the last 3 months and the souvenir from my US trip 2 months back still lying in my room so you better treat me double dinner when u're back from ur heaven holiday! hahahahahahaha

"Saving" my life....

DAVE~~ THANKS FOR "SAVING" MY LIFE... ;P I can't imagine if i ever have to migrate to sth like gmail... you know you're the best!!!! THANKS FOR SAVING MY LIFE.... XD

When it comes to different horoscope.....

Hmm.. your view?

星空傳說：巨蟹座　愛到殺死你

人與人交往是一門大學問。從星座的角度去看，因性格受星座影響，不同星座的人，交朋友的態度自然不同。如果你想改善人際關係，就要先看看自己是甚麼星座甚麼性格了。

與人相處時不要老是表現出一副不耐煩的樣子。有需要就要請別人幫忙，別裝強。與愛侶感情出現問題時，先主動踏出第一步吧。你喜歡遲遲不作表示，讓倚靠你的人感到失望。

巨蟹座 十分愛
對於和你親密的人，你給予的關愛幾乎令人窒息，給大家一點空間，你反而會發現他們更會親近你。由於你感情真摯，有些人會很喜歡你的真誠和率直，但記──不是人人都能接受你這種獨特的個性。

金牛座　 多藉口
對於你做甚麼事都有藉口有解釋，大家會感到不耐煩。當然有些人會明白你是個正直誠實的人，接受你就是這種人。不要對自己要求太高。處事應該用腦去想，不是用心去「想」。

雙子座　太直率
對於身邊最親密的人要多些關心。雖然你只是想說出你觀察所得，但也不用經常那麼直率直言。注意：有些人相當尊重你和重視你的意見，所以說話用詞要多加小心。

天蠍座　愛指揮
即使是身邊親近的人，你也不會聽取他們的意見，這實在需要改變。雖然有些人一直分欣賞你，不過他們因為害怕被你控制、指使而不敢親近你。有時你會表現得害羞和內向，令人迷惑。

處女座 太自信
你自信自己的意見才最有用，因而輕視別人的意見，這不能不改。花多點時間在計劃和發展的策略上，這對你的人際關係會有改善。你處事往往沒想清楚就去做，結果是要用雙倍時間去收拾殘局。

雙魚座　愛叻人
對於不少人來說，你是個「謎」一樣的人，吸引不同類型的朋友，而且努力去令每一人開心。你比較喜歡跟那些有才幹或有優越條件的人做朋友，而對那些性格死板的人有點不耐煩。

人馬座 愛冒險
你合群、愛玩，喜歡結識朋友。不止一次，那些你視之為朋友的人卻不懂得重視你的友好關懷，令你相當失望。你心胸廣闊，慷慨大方，喜歡冒險。問題是有些人會認為你偏執。

天秤座　重友情
你重視友情，只要你對自己要求不那麼高，與別人的關係就不會那麼緊張，也不要把別人的缺點和過錯看得太重。你對朋友忠誠，也希望別人同樣待你，但你最好對別人的要求放低一點，否則只會失望。

獅子座 　忽略人
雖然你希望與人相處時令人開心，而你也相當慷慨，但你往往不理別人說甚麼，所以有些人認為你不過是做自己要做的事。只要你對別人給你的訊息加以注意，就會在人際關係上有極大改善。

水瓶座　欠細心
你往往只看到粗略的局面，而忽略了明顯的地方。只要靠近一些去看那些與你重要的關係，就會發現你和朋友的友情比你想像中的好。如果你是正常的「水瓶座」，你會低估了那些與你親密的人的忠心和有深厚的關係。

山羊座　求長久
你忠誠、挑剔、有野心和願意付出。當你結識一位朋友，就會希望做一生一世的朋友，但有時你過於苛求和固執。有些人會欣賞你的正直、潛能和豐富的經驗，不過當接近成為成功人士時，你卻和他們保持距離。

When it comes to jealousy....

well well well.... scropio is famous as "easily jealous" hahahah... was just reading appledaily earlier and found this... have to agree to certain degree

順 口 溜 ： 醋

男 人 不 吃 醋 ， 感 情 不 豐 富 ；
女 人 不 吃 醋 ， 家 庭 不 和 睦 ；
小 孩 不 吃 醋 ， 學 習 不 進 步 ；
老 人 不 吃 醋 ， 越 活 越 糊 塗 ；
大 家 來 吃 醋 ， 社 會 才 進 步 。

Typhoon # 8 - PABUK

SO PABUK (帕布) was weaken when it past through us yesterday morning - but then it regain strength AND BOUNCED BACK - so now everyone's home as we've typhoon #8 since today 14:30 (well, i didn't leave office until 15:30) though...

well, only 2 hrs off, still good though.... on the way home it was crazy - first of all, all mobile line were jammed since like 2 o'clock (reminds me of new yr's eve or sth).... then my MSN mobile was so not stable - MTR was crazy - i've never seen so many ppl jammed on Admiralty platform (during transit)... I stayed there for like 15 min before i got my ft on the train - and it was just sooooooooooooooo crowded!!!

anyway, glad i'm home now.. that's all matter i spse :D

and for your information - the last time HK has Typhoon #8 was dated back in July 2004 - wow, 3 whole yrs we haven't enjoy "the day off" due to typhoon (again, i know, it shouldn't be a nice reason to take a day off)....

anyway, glad to be home early :)

P.S. i think the Weather Channel & HK gov't do entitle to certain credits for ensuring our citizen's safety - u know? my friend just told me they still have to go to work (no warning from the gov't or system to follow) even though they've a THREE FEET FLOODING!! that sucks!

Typhoon... not...

so i was thinking we'll have a day off tmr as the typhoon just HIT HK right on spot - and DREAMING of a day off...................

but nope, the typhoon has became weaker and become a tropical storm @.@

well, think in the other way, shall feel blessed as if it's really typhoon # 8, maybe a lot of family will suffer..

oh well, better stop dreaming and get ready for bed....

In memories of Uncle Andy...

Today is the day when Uncle Andy (三姑丈) left us.... just got the news from cousin a while back..

well.... actually i've never met Uncle Andy - he left HK and return home (UK) way before i born - and never has he come back (at least not when i was here in HK). I only "know" him through picts - know that he's a handsome guy, and love my dear auntie connie deeply.. a typical Brit - very gentleman type...

it's a pity i never met him in person, cousin said he left while he was sleeping - guess that's the best way for a patient to go - with least pain...

rest in peace, uncle andy, hope we can know each other in person next life....

"you've the right to remain silent".... con't....

So after 9 days it had been... the "silent" broke.. but then.. i'm already half way done the book

Queen's Pier...

Well in the last few days news it kept coming up w/ protesters trying to stop the gov't of removing the historical place - Queen's Pier at Central.

皇后最遲明日清場 - 林太單刀赴論壇 兩陣各不相讓

I personally don't have much attachment to it (ha, i'm still young) - yes, i feel sad that they moved the old Star Ferry (well, mainly is b/c it's so inconvenient now! so far away from 720 station)... Well, anyway, back to the pt, while I've no doubt that Queen's Pier is really "historical" - Queen Elizabeth? Prince Charles and many other Governors of HK had boarded there... many movies were taken place there.. etc etc.. YET, those ppl camping there and trying to stop the gov't just kinda annoyed me - of course, they've the right to express what they feel - yet, the decision of removing it - i'm sure, is not only started recently - it should have "consultation" period a while back?

at one pt of time i wanna go there and take a pict too - as a memory or sth - but then w/ all those ugly banners? i don't wanna remember the place like that...

besides, the gov't already doing relocation plan... so what's the big deal?? i mean, i don't know, maybe i'm just not care / sensitive enough w/ "historical" stuffs....

I don't know if the gov't "do it in the right way", i didn't really look into details of who's right / who's wrong - I just think some times we've to move on from the past - same w/ real life - easier to say than to do, of course.... but.. just need to some time...

星期天休息(Appledaily)：陶傑
友情，有時只是共擁回憶中的一宵月影

《哈利波特》第七集問世，全球暢銷。一本小說超越了國界，得到全世界讀者的喜愛，一定有不 凡的地方。《哈利波特》講巫術世界，以英國的寄宿學校為背景，小說的情節富有英國的地域文化特色，然而幾個人物之間堅貞的友誼，卻訴諸人類的普世情感。

小孩子看《哈利》，情迷書中的魔法世界，都把自己代入主角哈利波特，而不知道哈利是一個孤兒，不知道沒有父母的童年是多麼悲痛。成年讀者看《哈利》，反而更喜歡哈利的好友榮恩（Ron）。榮恩是書中的綠葉，榮恩比較平庸，哈利得到全世界小讀者的恩寵，榮恩活在哈利的 影子。但榮恩來自大家庭，他填補了哈利波特的孤獨，他是哈利的好兄弟，危難時總站在他這邊，他與巨人象棋對決、對付佛地魔。對於哈利，榮恩不計利益，他們不是成人世界的「合作夥伴」，而是真朋友。成年讀《哈利》，最情傷處，就是驚覺真正的友情，只在童年和校舍的樓廊和青草地之間滋長，離開了學校，那樣純潔的友情歲月卻一去不回頭。

英國小說描寫友情是高手，像福爾摩斯系列的福爾摩斯和華生。一個是偵探，一個是醫生，華生的專業判斷往往為福爾摩斯破案提供科學的靈感。因為十九世紀末，英國的許多謀殺案都流行用毒藥，偵探身邊有一位醫生朋友，往往為作者省了許多解說的筆墨。史提芬史匹堡監製過一部電影《少年福爾摩斯》（港譯《魔笛追魂》），講福爾摩斯與華生在寄宿學校結識的經過，可見英雄情義 ，往往侶出少年 。

《哈利波特》的中國讀者，不知會不會為書中的友情感動呢？中國文學許多珍品，是友情薰焙出來的，像李白和杜甫之憐才相惜，兩人各自的朋友圈子，許多詩贈好友的口占之作，都成為流芳後世的紀錄，一部唐詩三百首，簡直是中國知識分子的友情之書。宣州謝朓樓餞別校書叔雲、贈衞八處士、贈孟浩然、江南逢李年，那是一個華采風流的年代，中國人懷情重義，信守盟約，朋友擁有的優點，不是眼紅嫉妒，而是互相欣賞。做李白和杜甫的朋友，即使沒有他們的才華，也何其幸運，一個名字，隨詩篇的題名和註釋得以攀留千古。

看《哈利波特》，榮恩這個小朋友特別令人疼愛。他知道哈利的名氣比他大，同是一家巫術學校的同學，榮恩也不無一點點兒童常有的醋意。朋友的定義，是在看見另一個靈魂之中映照的自己，為了公義，榮恩和哈利，還有一個妙麗，組成了決戰邪的神聖同盟，對朋友不離不棄。一個人榮華富貴的時候，圍附過來的酒肉相識多；失意倒楣的時候，剩下的知己還有幾人？蘇軾的赤壁賦，記述了蘇東坡與一個無名的朋友泛舟赤壁時的一段對話：「壬戌之秋，七月既望，蘇子與客泛舟遊於赤壁之下。清風徐來，水波不興。舉酒屬客，誦明月之詩，歌窈窕之章。」這時候，蘇軾在朝廷得了文字獄，貶謫黃州，在政治上，已經是待罪之身，以他的詩人性格，並無東山再起升官發財的可能。在人生低潮的時候，官場上趨炎附勢的酒肉酬庸，不落井下石，也一早就跑光了，只剩下一位好朋友陪蘇軾月夜泛舟，飲酒對談，與他杯澆塊壘，歌解鬱結，而且為蘇軾指點人生的迷津。「蘇子愀然，正襟危坐，而問客曰：『何為其然也？』客曰：『月明星稀，烏鵲南飛』，此非曹孟德之詩乎？」正是這位好朋友，先就赤壁夜遊的水月之思，發表了生命有涯、天地無的一番哲理，這才引發蘇軾的悟，把人生的失意，豁然想通，得到「自其變者而觀之，則天地曾不能以一瞬；自其不變者而觀之，則物與我皆無盡也。」最後二人相笑大喜：「相與枕藉乎舟中，不知東方之既白。」讀赤壁賦，為蘇軾的文采絕倒之外，最令人感觸的，是東坡何幸，擁有這樣一位好朋友。這位高人，沒有留下名字，他的音容議論，也隨同赤壁那明淨的月夜和我們的大文豪一起不朽。

沒有友情，也就沒有中國文學；沒有俠義，也沒有了中國文化的古典精神。不但李杜相從，蘇子與泛舟的友客留下了佳話，在江湖綠林，由荊軻刺秦的易水風蕭，到大刀王五的去留肝膽，兩千年來的中華兒女，經歷了多少戰亂，相濡以沫，兩忘江湖，友情的香火從來沒有斷絕過，直到「反右」的告發，「文化大革命」的摧殘，人情斷絕，倫綱傾圮，最好的朋友，往往成為檢舉自 向「黨」表忠的「反革命言行」的最凶險的敵人。今日大陸，連中國當局都承認「國民素質」空前危機：寡情薄恩，失信無情，一切以金錢利益為盟，連擇偶也講「條件」，現代的中國，如果還有所謂「文學」，詩歌和小說，還有幾篇是友誼的紀錄？

《哈利波特》的榮恩，與赤壁賦的無名客一樣，境界高低容或有別，情操之高尚，中外古今都是一樣的。中國的兒童讀者，讀《哈利波特》的華文譯本之際，只目眩於書中的魔幻奇情吧？對於榮恩這個小角色、好朋友，多半都會忽略的。到他們長大了，或許會明白多一點。讀《哈利波特》，掩卷難忘，最是這個在去霍格華茲的火車車廂偶遇的紅髮小雀斑，他打開一個盒子，面跳出一隻青蛙。在人生中結識這樣的朋友，一生無憾，孤兒哈利波特失去了倫理，贏得的卻有更多，當古老的火車，在九又四分三的迷離月台出發，穿過青的山嶺，越過渺藍的崖岸，奔向黑夜魅祟的霍格華茲的古堡學校，一輪明月，迷懸在大西洋的夜空，那片詭幻的光華，盈虛如彼，逝者如斯，正是醉催蘇東坡和他的朋友在赤壁入夢的一夕光景。

"you've the right to remain silent"....

it has been a wk already... i guess afterall "talking to each other daily" is only MY initiative....

just the thoughts of having a piece or 2 of the dark chocolate u gave me can help me to "cast a Patronus".... esp. whenever i feel u're so far apart - yet i don't dare to take too much / too often - as it'll run out, i know, sooner or later...

and the 1st box is almost gone.... :(

anyway, there's no school of Hogwarts.... i'm just a Muggle... one that has been kissed by the Dementors...

Mission Complete: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows

so i'm like a wk behind many of you - yep, I only finished HP7 just now.. was going to finish it last nite, but was feeling sick so saved that last 20 pages for today after dinner...

Hmm.. agree w/ Uarzen that the book is very fast paced (i think i shouldn't even read his comment although he claimed it's "spoil free"!) hahahahaa... anyway, the book indeed is good, so many fighting battles - and just moving so fast!!!! it's very dark on the other side, too many deaths to deal w/ - not to mention one of my favorite character died like right at the beginning!! (who's that?! well, dig out my ICQ user name!) hahahahahhahahaa

Anyhow, i do feel like the ending is "huh? just like that?! what?! it's over? have i missed something!?" and the last last ending i think is a bit "drawing legs for snake"....

Anyway, it has been.. 6 yrs for me since i started reading HP - still remember i only started it in 2001 after wondering why Dirk (Hagrid to me!) reading a "children's book" - and ever since i just got so hooked and bought Book 3 from UK Bloomsbury directly (since back then HK release later than UK - and that, of course, is the most expensive HP book i bought! charged in GBP!!!!)... hahahahahaha

Also started the 1st HP newsgroup ever in HK (ha, am still groupmaster - although i'm under my invisible cloak ever since.. the last few yrs!?) hahahaha.... watched HP1 at Admiralty while someone is visiting HK that winter (and with the newsgroup cosplay ppl too!).... watched HP 2 @ AMC, and the 3rd one in Amsterdam!! Oh, and of course, the HP door hanging thingy I got from Boise still on my door.....

it's a bit sad to see it "ends"... i guess it's like departing w/ a friend - even though it's not the first time i depart w/ friends whom i know for long - and every time i wonder if that would be the last time we ever cross in our life - well, in real life most of the time wasn't (although still sadden me), yet for HP case, i don't think i'll re-read it in a short time - some times letting go and letting memories to fad is a good way anyway....

anyway, for those who hasn't read / finish the story - happy reading :)

Sleeping in a funny way... :P

so elvin sleeps in the room at nite (with a/c!) ever since he's back home... here's one i took just now - and he sleeps so deeply that he doesn't even notice a thing when the flash went on!!


can u see he's actually half tilted? :P



elvin does sleep in funny ways :P I just hope his neck / back won't hurt when he wake up :P

走迷路的情侶

分析
你對愛情非常執著，從來沒有自己的生活空間，將全部的關懷放在所愛的人身上，有時過分干涉使對方無法消受，而你卻又難免感到委屈而牢騷滿腹，因此建議你愛得輕鬆一些，給彼此一些空間吧!

Elvin's home....

After spending 3 days in the clinic my dear son can finally get home........ although it's ONLY the beginning of the treatment - still have to take antibiotics, and also quite a few #s of skin medicines - but at least he's home - he's finally home...

i think he's still a little upset (ha, have the big "la ba" collar around his neck), but i think he did show some improvement since he left home....

i'm just glad that he's back... back home....

thanks again for all who's pray for him :) i hope he'll recover and show better result on the test 10 days from now...

add oil elvin :)

Day 2 in the clinic...

so today is the 2nd day elvin's in the clinic - got off work and rush to tin hou (tried to get off sharp 5:30 but it's just not possible), anyway, luckily i got there before 6:30 so can still meet son (one weird thing - at 6 o'clock MTR is actually NOT crowded!!! had seats!!)

So anyway... i think i was in a much better EQ situation today (than yesterday) when discussing elvin's situation with the staff (geez)... ANYWAY.. it's not really a troke - but rather the vet suspected he got tick fever - one of the very last things i would like to hear.... Elvin's temperature is still high today, and to the vet tick fever is a lot worse than his skin problem so they've started him off the 20 days antibiotics treatment (and his skin problem will only come next - for now they only got his right palm bandaged with some medicine)...

he is still on 吊鹽水... the dr. said hopefully elvin's body will respond to the treatment quickly... that's the "best scenario" - his temp has to come down, and the blood platelet has to climb up back to normal....

i saw him tried to get up when he saw me.. but he's still very weak...

geez... really heart hurt :( i really hope he will recover and rest there just a few more days.....


P.S. a very good reference for dog's tick fever (some english down the page)

P.P.S. Thanks for all your calls, SMSs, MSNs, msgs to show u care... thanks... it really means a lot... ;~)

Updates - Elvin is hospitalized....

so i maybe half a day late to rush Elvin to the Vet.....

:(

the dr said he's overheated (what's the english word for 中暑 stroke?) I was kinda surprised b/c i don't even bring him anywhere - most of the time he just stayed home!!!!!

and the nurse said that it's probably b/c we only left him sleep in the kitchen at nite (which kinda offended b/c he has been living w/ us like that ever since he was with us - he's not the type of dog from alaska or sth so how do i know he needs a/c 24 hrs???) ANYWAY.. he was still okay 2 days ago, why all of a sudden he's NOT okay?? it has been hot ALL WEEK this wk since last wk, why only now??

the Vet took him in and said he has to be "吊鹽水", hospitalized and "observe"... the nurse said situation is really bad as he's over heated (she claims its' so high that she can't even take her body temperature!) anyway, since he's over heated his blood vessel may also be "amplified" and may cause internal bleeding - which won't know in the until later (is it really THAT SERIOUS!??!?!??!) he can't walk b/c his palms and feet are all infected (due to the high body temp)....

i heard she ordered other nurses to get ready setting up ice pack / cooling towels.....

no clue how long he'll stay, only know we can only visit him daily from 14:00 - 18:00 (who can make this hrs when one has to work!!!) omg... I'm not ready to loss elvin yet.. his toys are all over the living room, what do you mean he's leaving?????? no, i'm not ready..........

life sucks....

Elvin's sick!!!!!

don't know why he couldn't stand up - something's wrong w/ his hands.... poor puppy so poor that he can't walk around - usually he jumps all over me when i got home every day... but then today when i got home he just sit there - looking at me - trying very hard to get up - but failed!~~~~

:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(


I'll take him to the Dr. tmr afternoon - i JUST HOPE that the Dr. can really help him (to me his palms look pretty normal to me!)

*sigh.... so worry :((((

ID4....

I wanna play fireworks together as well lei

*sigh* :(

Danish aries said....

You will find someone. Open your eyes. Put this pisces thing aside and try any others opportunities. He really do not deserve you.

Everyone have one or two this kind of emotional burden evenafter they married. If you are lucky, it could be in a naive, harmless memory. If you are obsessed, it could be a real burden.

hmmmm

Day dream: what if we win mark 6?

went out with wittybb and her sis last nite for dinner - among the many things we talked about, of course couldn't miss the 33 million (HKD, of course, not US!) Mark 6 lottery - what IF, yes, what IF I win???????

had numerous talk about winning mark 6 (ha, even a daily topic now!?) go back to school - oh, and of course, the travel around the world talk....

how come we've all those UNREALISTIC talks and dreams "together"? do you know that lies become "real" after numerous talk?? sigh... why am i still "wasting" my time in unrealistic dreams.... why should i bother?

and why we've to go to work??????????????????????

FW: Don't care...

i haven' t chk out my friends' blog for a while... and a great time to catch up their blog during the long weekend... here's something - well, too me, 深雪's writing is a bit too "girly" - but then doesn't hurt to know about it gae....

唔著緊

有些女孩子容易得到愛情幸福，不因為她特別迷人又或可親，而是，她特別的無所謂。

男朋友減少致電，她會想，唔緊要啦！男朋友失約，她也是唔緊要啦！男朋友送的禮物不夠體面，她同樣也是一副唔緊要啦的態度。

然後，一天，男朋友良心發現，向她致歉時，她仍是笑笑口說一句：「知你忙嘛，唔緊要啦！」結果就是，男朋友愛死了這個女人。

男人都像孩子，鍾意反叛、不守規矩、不聽話，過了熱戀期後，他就想逃離愛情的牢籠，於是，他會做出許多失約、不致電伴侶的行徑，目的就是讓伴侶明白，她不一定是他想在將來共度餘生的女人。

當男人感到女人想捉緊他，他就會想離開。

就在這個期間，若然，女人以一種「唔緊要啦」的態度去面對男朋友的疏離，男人反而會轉變心態，他覺得這個女人竟然不想縛住他，在愕然之餘，他就會反過來想縛住這個女人了。

她看來甚麼都唔緊要、唔緊張，於是，男人就自己緊張起來了。

在熱戀期之後的一段時期，是關係的關口，男人可能在此關口降溫，又可能在此關口提升愛情的熱情。很多女孩子以為，在這關口中努力付出，關係就得以挽救，然而，真正的拯救態度反而是「唔緊張和唔緊要」。

如果你本身是愛情緊張大師，就要學習如何去唔緊張。都是這一句：無論你愛得有多深，你最緊張的人，都應該是你自己。

女人的本性是謙厚的，當一段感情失落時，女人會怪責自己、檢討自己、改進自己。無論情況如何，女人必先自省，然後才再在外面找答案。

但許多情況是，男人的本性才是感情破裂的真相。如果，你的男人愛結識女性朋友、多情、花心，那麼，任由你再賢淑美麗聰敏性感，他都一樣會有外遇。就算你出盡力改善自己到達環球小姐的質素，結果都不會改變。

如果，你的男人野蠻、兇殘、不講道理，那麼，任由你是天使化身，你都無法感化他，到頭來他都一定會傷害你。甚至，這種男人，投十次胎都化解不了殘暴的天性。

女人要學識接受某些愛情不是錯在自己，而是，你遇上某類人，就會有某類結局。看吧，若如你遇上一個溫和、有責任感又真心愛你的男人，你就多數會幸福，姑勿論你靚唔靚、有幾醒目。

當你在第三次約會時，你大概已可以推測得到這個男人的本性，以及你們的結局。無謂逆天意，也不要以為愛情或是你能改變他。雞就生雞蛋，鴨才會生鴨蛋，這是最淺易的道理。

甚麼愛情智慧都假，最重要就是揀一個對的人，揀一個你預料能有好結局的人，就已成功了一半。以後每結識一個男人，就想像和他的結局吧！然後你就發現，你比任何一個算命師傅更準確更獨到。

Fw: Do I really KNOW you?

From a friend's blog.. hmmm... do i really know you?

要找到真愛 便要找一個懂你的人
這個人也許並不是十全十美
但因為他懂你 所以你就認為他是十全十美的

就是這麼一個懂字
懂是什麼？

當你遇到挫折時 他不說一句損你尊嚴的話
當你意氣用事時他絕不遷就而會娓娓解說事理給你聽
當你心情不好時 他絕不和你一般見識而大吵大鬧
當你遠隔千里難得見面時 他也深信你
當你愉快時 他也愉快而且會告訴你
當你煩惱時 他也煩惱但不會輕易告訴你

懂 是需要多少的了解 多少的體諒 多少愛心
要找一個懂你的人 也許很難 但要有信心
找一個懂你的人 也期許自己做一個懂他的人

hmm... interesting....
