很久沒寫blog。但有了手機版的blog app, 試下寫番先。
今日忙裡偷閒,趁去銅鑼灣做例行身體檢查,順便行下新開了三週的Hysan Place。其實我第三次行。之前兩次都係來去匆匆。
由於有BK Mame提過有一間叫做6ixty 8ight啲泳衣好平,我便去6/F搵。她們10時多已開門,店舖面積亦很大。啲泳衣真係平到你唔信。$18件top,$18件bottom。一套bikini只要$36!
再買了strapless bra,盛惠$68。
What can you ask for!?
6/F係專為女性而設的樓層,剩係得女廁架!
跟著想食個早飯,點知未夠11點,唯有行下誠品,睇下台中的旅遊書。
11點了,上去11/F food court, 點了個韓式牛肉麵餐,$60。味道ok,但服務態度只係一般。
再回到10/F誠品,買杯天仁茗茶的珍珠奶茶,$20。本想飲芋香奶綠,不過佢地未煮好芋頭喎。
今天早上好飽足!
得閒等我寫番上兩次的「行程」。

2008 - count the blessings
There are some good things happening recently! Things are always unexpected.
1. 2 female colleagues suddenly told me that they wanted to follow me to church on Christmas eve. Although one of them suddenly fell ill on Dec 24, the other colleague did follow her friend to join another church's service! God bless them. BTW, they even sent me a Swarovski "plant" as a Christmas gift! So sweet.
2. Another middle-age male colleague suddenly told us that he has turned into God! But previously, he was a totally traditional Chinese believing in Feng Shui and other Chinese traditions. He recently faced many difficult things, causing him to learn to relax and go back to basic. He now even can speak in the "Christian language"!
3. My church finally has a Lift!!! It is really wonderful that a lift can be built after we have used the building for over 50 years! It is amazing!
Other good things in 2008:
1. My husband finished the Beijing Olympic Game IT Venue support successfully! But we need to deal with the tons of Olympic Game souvenirs!
2. I got a very good staff helping me this year. I also got more exposures in my job! It was also my first time to be a people manager.
3. I only took one day of sick leave early in the year! Thanks God for giving me good health.
4. Parents' health is good. Hope they can have a healthy life and condition.
Strange things happening recently:
1. I recently fainted inside MTR train after having dinner & drink with a friend. The train was stopped for some time due to this. I don't want to mention the details but I think MTR's service is very good and professional. But I have hurted my 尾龍骨. It has been painful for many days...

My block leave
I finally have the time and chance to go on a block leave. After months of waiting, I think my new colleague is capable enough to handle the day-to-day tasks on his own.
Originally, a block leave should be long enough for going on a longer trip (e.g. to Australia / New Zealand). But as usual, my block leave is not well-planned, so we can only go to places that can be booked in very short time period.
After trying and struggling, we failed to book the package to Ho Chih Ming City, though we have paid for the Vietnam visa (HKD300 ea.) ...
We later managed to book air tickets to Kaohsiung on Dragonair. So, we changed our plan and went to Taiwan instead.
Funny to say is, on my first day of block leave, my colleague was already updating his status in facebook as "xxx is non-stop working....."

Blue
When I say "blue", what will you think about?
Blue mountain (coffee)?
Blue mood?
Once in a Blue moon?
Blue jeans?
Blue shirt?
Blue tooth?
My company's color has finally changed from Green to Blue on Sep 24, 2008.
I recall my days working in the so-called "Big Blue" company. Now, I am with the "Royal Blue". Hope my mood is not as blue as the company's blue.
My mom is a big fans of the Blue color. I used to wear blue cheung-sam as my secondary school uniform!
That's all I can think of.

但願人長久
明月幾時有,把酒問青天
不知天上宮闕,今夕是何年
我欲乘風歸去
唯恐瓊樓玉宇,高處不勝寒
起舞弄清影,何似在人間
轉朱閣,低綺戶,照無眠
不應有恨,何事長向別時圓
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
--蘇東坡

Job Opp - Part 2
I was invited to the 1st interview. It was with HR.
The HR lady was really smart and nice. She could quickly relate what I am doing with the future job. She knew about the business pretty well. Although her last name reflected that she may be from Singapore, but I kinda like her style.
After 3 days, they called me to arrange the 2nd interview. This time the interview was with the hiring manager. He is non-IT but he had some IT background. He is a Swiss at the age of ~45-50. The first impression was not too good, as he was late for > 15 mins (where I arrived > 15 mins before the interview time)... But after some talk, seems that he liked my style.
But I kinda have turned down the agent to proceed further, as the job nature itself is much boring than my current role... even if they can pay me much more... and their brandname is also quite good... and the office is much high-class...
But I don't think I have wasted time, as I can learn about how other banks do infosec.

Recently found this from Web. Very descriptive!
曖昧是
曖昧是,比好朋友再親一點,但比情人遠一點。
曖昧是,有一點兒兄妹的的情誼,但卻不敢以兄妹相稱。大家都暗暗的明白,這段關係不可能簡單如兩兄妹。
曖昧是,你會常常在ICQ、MSN等他在線。你會設定他一在線時,系統會有online alert,你也會把他的名字floating on。而MSN就會看著他的照片,每轉相就cap出來儲存。每當見他幾天沒有在線,你就會有些擔心。
曖昧是,你會不時去他的info、日記看看有沒有更新;而且你會留意字裡行間,他對你有沒有甚麼暗示。
曖昧是,你和他會有說不盡的話題,經常細聲講大聲笑。
曖昧是明知他有伴侶還願待在他的身旁偷偷地看著一舉一動。
曖昧是會在紙上不經覺地畫他的肖像,寫他的名字。
曖昧是你和他都會替對方的一切加上意見,亦會言聽計從。例如衣著打扮、網頁外觀…
曖昧是有感覺,然而,這種感覺不足以叫你們切切實實的發展一段正式的關係。
曖昧是是明白人生有太多的無奈,現實有太多的限制。你知道沒有可能,但又捨不得放手。
曖昧是有進一步的衝動,卻沒有進一步的勇氣。
曖昧是,他不是你的情人,但似乎他比你的情人更關心你和了解你,一起時還會更開心。
曖昧是思想、行為非常接近。
曖昧是將一起或是偷偷拍下的照片儲存在極為保密的地方。曖昧是當你無名火起時,他的一句話就能將火撲滅。
曖昧是跟異性行街看見他時會四處躲避、心跳加速、手心冒汗、面紅耳熱。
曖昧是什麼也不能輸給他,讓他永遠記住你的存在。
曖昧是他恨的人你也會恨,他喜歡的人你更恨。
曖昧是他與伴侶分手,你是唯一絕對支持的人。
曖昧是,你會編一條頸巾送給他,但大家從沒有開始過。
曖昧是,雖然他不是你的情人,但他卻會對你說:「你對我是十分重要的。」
曖昧是,你感冒時有一個會在晚上打電話來,特意提你服藥,叫你蓋好被早點睡的普通朋友。
曖昧是,當你遇到問題解決不了的時候,你第一個便會想起他,而不是你的男/女朋友。
曖昧是,每當他提及他的另一半時,你會萬箭穿心。
曖昧是是為了逃避背叛的罪惡感。
曖昧是甜津津同時又酸溜溜的。往往從未開始,已叫人不安,患得患失。
曖昧是,別人以為你們在攪地下情時,你會沾沾自喜。
曖昧是,別人問你們是否在戀愛中,你會張口結舌。
曖昧是,常常掙扎表不表白。你怕表白之後,你既得不到一個情人,卻又失去了一個知心好友。
曖昧是,見到他時,你會心跳。見不到他時,你會掛念他。
曖昧是,兩個人都會互相猜度。他是不是已經暗示了甚麼? 我是不是自作多情?
曖昧是,每天大家都會聊ICQ、MSN,間中互傳手機短訊,無規律地偶然約會。
曖昧是,除了情人節之外,在大時大節和生日,大家都會交換禮物。在外地的時候,你總會記得買手信給他。他有時煮了甚麼甜品,也定會預你一份。
曖昧是,在卡拉OK時,你仍會忍不住去點楊千嬅的「有發生過」。陳奕迅的「兄妹」亦曾在你心中繞樑三日,久久不能釋懷。 李克勤的「不知不覺愛上你」當作表白的對白。
曖昧是,你很想多走一步,但又怕會嚇怕了他。你會很小心流露自己的感情,你忍不著不去著緊他,但又怕他知道你著緊。
曖昧是,兩個人沒有承諾過甚麼。但雖然如此,你願意付出的,比有承諾的情侶更多。沒有責任,但你卻很渴望去承擔,不問回報。
曖昧是是一扇門,你可以停留在門外,也可以踏進房子裡面。然而,你不可以停留在門下面。門 – 永遠不是終點站。
曖昧是一瞬間的Disequilibrium。當供求曲線還在心猿意馬地地上下移動時,我們趁機享受如夢初醒之前錯配的歡愉。有天,市場的力量會叫雲消霧散。或退或進,在無形之手掌管下,曖昧最後只會日暮途窮。
曖昧是把最喜歡的鈴聲設給他的號碼﹐每當電話響起﹐你都希望是那獨一無二的鈴聲響起。
曖昧是每當情緒低落時﹐你都會希望依靠在他的懷抱.可是他卻屬于別人的懷抱.曖昧是每當你想念家的味道﹐而他是你第一個想起的人。

好朋友
我發覺算得上是我的好朋友的人並不多. 如果無人陪我食飯我也想不到有哪些朋友可以陪我. 不過我最近在想,以下四個男性朋友其實是我最friend的人,因他們對我頗認識,又或是我會告訴他們一些很內心的事情.
我的四個男性知己:
1. FF - 荷記同事,非常細心又熱情,做事認真又肯用腦,talk得又做得
2. PL - 荷記team-mate,好多嘢都話我知或者問我意見,無mud秘密
3. RA - 大學同學加I記同事,好熟好熟,無所不談,常常寸來寸去
4. AL - 中學時期的聯校義工partner,又係好熟好熟,近年他信了主,所以更多共同話題
俾我老公見到呢篇嘢實打死我,哈哈.

Job Opp
Suddenly I am given a job opp... The bank is quite good and they can potentially pay much more... But I still want to see the changes during the merger. Also, I still like my current job nature... But it is sure that my future job title is not good, and we may not get a pay rise soon...
God, what should I do? Do You want me to try?

Never join Excelsior Plus again
The salesperson Owen Yeung is really a bad guy. When he was selling me to join the membership, he told a lot of lies, like: you can use the room coupon for nights showing fireworks, you can ask me to refill the wine and cake coupons if you have used them up.
Today, I tried to ask him all these and he denied that he has said so. I'd better send a complaint letter to his boss.
I will never ever join the Excelsior Plus programme again. Damn it!

Recent feelings
Long time no blog. But I am so happy to say that I recently got a "fans" from Shanghai and she told me that she likes my blog so much. Thanks little Helen!
Work has been busy since March. Now, my new staff has come on board and he is quite helpful and diligent. Thanks God for giving me this good candidate. If he can be a bit more aggressive, I will be very happy.
The merger is coming our way. A lot of time was spent on how to separate some components to the other consortium partners and how to integrate the remaining components with the new organization. We have to break up our existing organization into two main organizations. This is a very complicated process and caused somebody to be happy but most people unhappy.
I recently have built up very good friendship with a colleague in CKC. He is just like one of my U-mates and we can talk a lot. I am so happy that I can find someone with similar grading and experience. We can share a lot of information and it helps our work a lot. The colleagues in LH are also good to be friends, but it is really hard to find somebody that I can share and talk to, esp. on work-related stuff... Hope I can make some long-term and good friends in my AA life.
After the merger, I may be demoted to only look after Hong Kong. Also, my staff in HK, CN and TW will be separated from me. I don't know if this will affect my career growth. But I am still looking forward to working with the new team, new boss and new colleagues. Hope I can get something and meet more people. So far, the new CIO looks quite nice. Hope I will have more chances to work closer with him.
I am still looking for volunteer work opportunities. Seems that the new organization will have regular volunteer sessions to help some new immigrants from Mainland. I will try to join and help!
Spiritually, I am quite weak this year. Lots of things happening in my church, to my work and myself. Lots of stress coming to me unconsciously. But so far, God has brought me through the way. I have stomachache from time to time. I need to fix this. I also want to spend more time with my parents. But I am really very very lazy...

A mystery to be told
I still remember that when I visited Japan office in Sept 2007, Shimizu-san (Head of Services + CTO) brought me out for lunch. After lunch, he brought me to visit a Japanese temple on a small hill near the office. We had to walk up some very steep stairs in order to reach the temple. While walking up (in my high-heels...), Shimizu-san told me that he has brought a few guys to walk up this hill. And all these people got a promotion after they went back to their home country. I remembered he mentioned Ajay, himself and one other colleague in Singapore. While walking up, I was thinking if I would really get promotion. I halfly believed this... But I have to say, Shimizu-san is really a funny person and he seems to know the "direction" very well.

L之終章。最後的23天
Not sure if you have watched the movie. But I like one of the scripts in the film.
L said to the kid-size N, "No matter how gifted, you cannot change the World ... alone." Good to think about what it means.
Teamwork, leadership, learn to adopt different management styles, magnify others' good things but diminish the bad things, learn from failures, cooperation, form union with people to make 1+1>2 ...
When working as a professional, we learnt to do things smartly and diligently ... alone! But if we work in a team, we have to leverage others' talents to maximize the total effects.

Change of views
In the last class of 2007 Sunday School, I asked each of my students to list out 3 things that they want to achieve in 2008 and I asked them to share one item with the other classmates.
A male student told me that he wants to 過活潑的日子. I think this "wish" is really meaningful! Another female student told me that she wants to get to the top 25% of her class. I myself also listed out 3 things that I want to achieve in year 2008.
Item 1 was: 在工作上有突破
Then earlier this year, I really got the chance to get a promotion in grade. Thanks God! The last time I got a promotion was already in 2000... (despite I changed job in 2005). I was already so delighted. (although the pay rise % was just the same as last year)
After becoming an AVP, I felt that more responsibilities will come to me. Also, I feel more respected. Moreover, many Singapore colleagues shot me emails saying congratulations. They were so kind to me.
Near the end of January, I got a flu. I felt so tired and had to take one day off. However, after two to three weeks, I felt so weak again. This time, the symptoms were: 勁多胃氣,勁肚瀉,氣虛,好攰,不能入睡等. I finally went to see a doctor and he said this is some kind of virus. Not sure if this is 諾沃克病毒 or the previous flu got into my stomach? But this is really a new illness for me... And I could not understand where did I get the virus...
Originally, I gained 2-3 pounds during Chinese New Year but then lost about 6 pounds due to this illness!!
After that terrible illness, my husband went to Beijing to work on the Olympic project. And my work was getting more busy.
Suddenly, two things happened. 1) my team-mate finally got a post in another team and he will be leaving this team, 2) my company suddenly had an incident. And I was suddenly promoted to take over my team-mate as well as to join the incident follow-up committee. These created extra workload and stress to me. But I suddenly realized that the previous illness can be like the Chinese saying 「天將降大任於斯人也必先勞其筋骨餓其體膚」.
Right after taking up the new role, I had to go to Singapore to join a 2-day MT meeting. I was quite stressed before going, as I will meet >20 team-mates in one shot. Also, I have talked to all these people in the previous 2.5 years, but have never met them. So, I was quite nervous!! And I have not been to Singapore for over 20 years (the last time was when I was a kid). But luckily, the colleagues were quite warm and nice to me. And going along with them was not that difficult! Also, during the MT, I finally found some peers that are working on similar stuff as me and we can share the experience.
In fact, this year, I also took up more responsibilities in Church. I was elected the 主日學部長. And I have two 副部長 helping me. They are two big men in their 40's! So, I am also stressed to work with them as they have more life experience than me.
I realized that I need to learn a few new things:
1. Learn to be a new manager
2. Learn how to interview and get the right candidate
3. Learn to lead by following Bible's way
4. Learn to deal with Office Politics in a Christian way
5. Time management
6. Delegation
7. Social skills
8. Further improve English conversational and listening skills
9. Learn to drink but not get drunk
10. Learn to be punctual
May I get the strength and power from God!
A male student told me that he wants to 過活潑的日子. I think this "wish" is really meaningful! Another female student told me that she wants to get to the top 25% of her class. I myself also listed out 3 things that I want to achieve in year 2008.
Item 1 was: 在工作上有突破
Then earlier this year, I really got the chance to get a promotion in grade. Thanks God! The last time I got a promotion was already in 2000... (despite I changed job in 2005). I was already so delighted. (although the pay rise % was just the same as last year)
After becoming an AVP, I felt that more responsibilities will come to me. Also, I feel more respected. Moreover, many Singapore colleagues shot me emails saying congratulations. They were so kind to me.
Near the end of January, I got a flu. I felt so tired and had to take one day off. However, after two to three weeks, I felt so weak again. This time, the symptoms were: 勁多胃氣,勁肚瀉,氣虛,好攰,不能入睡等. I finally went to see a doctor and he said this is some kind of virus. Not sure if this is 諾沃克病毒 or the previous flu got into my stomach? But this is really a new illness for me... And I could not understand where did I get the virus...
Originally, I gained 2-3 pounds during Chinese New Year but then lost about 6 pounds due to this illness!!
After that terrible illness, my husband went to Beijing to work on the Olympic project. And my work was getting more busy.
Suddenly, two things happened. 1) my team-mate finally got a post in another team and he will be leaving this team, 2) my company suddenly had an incident. And I was suddenly promoted to take over my team-mate as well as to join the incident follow-up committee. These created extra workload and stress to me. But I suddenly realized that the previous illness can be like the Chinese saying 「天將降大任於斯人也必先勞其筋骨餓其體膚」.

蘋論︰淫照風暴 的最大教訓是 揭露虛偽 (李怡)
蘋論︰淫照風暴 的最大教訓是 揭露虛偽 (李怡)
阿 嬌 終 於 站 出 來 面 對 傳 媒 與 公 眾 了 。 她 是 遲 早 一 定 要 出 來 的 , 因 為 她 不 會 願 意 放 棄 她 的 演 藝 事 業 , 她 所 屬 的 公 司 也 不 想 放 棄 這 隻 生 金 蛋 的 鵝 。 她 說 , 她 以 前 很 天 真 很 傻 , 但 現 在 已 長 大 了 。 短 短 幾 句 話 , 她 沒 有 承 認 做 錯 過 甚 麼 , 但 實 際 上 已 承 認 淫 照 不 是 移 花 接 木 的 合 成 照 了 。
事 實 上 , 阿 嬌 以 前 並 不 天 真 , 並 不 傻 , 她 的 天 真 無 邪 的 小 天 使 形 象 , 是 假 扮 出 來 的 。 她 前 年 在 偷 拍 事 件 後 痛 哭 流 涕 , 表 示 以 後 無 顏 面 對 視 她 為 偶 像 的 小 朋 友 。 她 有 一 次 看 到 兩 個 影 星 接 吻 , 表 示 很 惡 心 , 說 自 己 不 會 這 樣 做 。 她 出 席 由 大 衞 城 文 化 中 心 主 辦 的 「 貞 潔 校 園 開 學 禮 」 , 明 確 表 示 拒 絕 婚 前 性 行 為 。 她 說 這 些 話 的 時 候 ( 06 年 ) , 同 時 在 拍 淫 照 。 本 報 留 言 網 中 , 有 人 說 : 「 大 家 鄙 視 的 不 是 你 的 放 蕩 , 而 是 你 的 虛 偽 。 」
這 句 話 可 說 一 語 中 的 。 事 實 上 , 虛 偽 的 不 僅 是 阿 嬌 一 人 , 而 是 她 所 屬 的 英 皇 娛 樂 集 團 , 這 集 團 在 淫 照 曝 光 的 第 一 天 , 即 聲 明 這 些 照 片 是 「 不 法 分 子 」 用 「 移 花 接 木 的 手 法 製 造 」 的 , 並 即 時 報 警 。 虛 偽 的 還 有 演 藝 人 協 會 , 這 個 協 會 在 前 年 阿 嬌 被 偷 拍 背 部 的 事 件 中 , 表 現 出 群 情 洶 湧 , 面 對 這 次 的 淫 照 風 暴 卻 說 「 不 單 是 娛 樂 圈 的 悲 哀 , 亦 是 香 港 人 的 悲 哀 」 。 但 除 了 悲 君 亦 自 悲 、 深 恐 自 己 的 私 隱 也 被 曝 光 的 演 藝 人 , 除 了 淫 照 涉 及 的 藝 人 , 絕 大 多 數 香 港 人 在 此 淫 照 事 件 中 有 何 悲 哀 ? 娛 樂 圈 個 別 人 的 悲 哀 , 何 以 要 拉 香 港 人 下 水 陪 著 一 路 哭 呢 ?
虛 偽 的 還 有 警 方 。 未 經 淫 審 處 對 淫 照 作 裁 定 , 警 方 已 拘 捕 發 放 一 張 淫 照 的 網 民 鍾 亦 天 , 並 要 未 經 審 訊 就 關 押 他 八 個 星 期 。 明 明 是 警 方 為 阻 嚇 網 民 流 傳 淫 照 的 行 動 , 卻 又 妄 言 鍾 亦 天 另 涉 詐 騙 案 , 因 兩 宗 不 相 干 案 件 遭 還 柙 , 實 前 所 未 聞 。 這 是 執 法 的 虛 偽 。 警 務 處 長 鄧 竟 成 自 行 「 釋 法 」 , 宣 稱 藏 有 淫 照 「 意 圖 發 放 」 也 違 法 , 警 方 的 阻 嚇 意 圖 更 為 明 顯 。
警 方 的 虛 偽 還 在 於 早 已 知 道 淫 照 的 源 頭 是 陳 冠 希 的 電 腦 , 還 要 到 處 找 源 頭 。 為 甚 麼 不 直 接 傳 訊 陳 冠 希 , 要 求 他 交 代 事 件 , 看 淫 照 是 偷 拍 還 是 被 拍 者 知 情 下 所 拍 ? 淫 照 曾 交 給 甚 麼 人 ? 怎 樣 流 傳 出 去 ? 已 知 源 頭 卻 不 找 源 頭 , 反 而 「 周 街 拉 人 」 , 更 顯 示 警 方 執 法 不 公 而 偽 善 。
虛 偽 的 還 有 部 份 傳 媒 。 它 們 打 著 道 德 的 旗 號 , 不 但 批 評 藏 有 淫 照 , 觀 看 淫 照 者 , 甚 至 還 批 評 報 道 淫 照 風 暴 的 傳 媒 , 指 摘 刊 登 經 過 剪 裁 的 照 片 。 揭 發 事 實 真 相 , 應 是 傳 媒 的 本 份 。 尤 其 是 道 貌 岸 然 的 正 人 君 子 或 打 扮 成 純 情 小 天 使 的 藝 人 , 揭 發 他 們 的 真 面 目 正 是 為 那 些 被 偶 像 愚 弄 的 Fans 敲 響 警 鐘 , 告 訴 他 們 這 些 人 的 虛 偽 本 性 , 使 他 們 醒 悟 。
淫 照 風 暴 牽 引 出 社 會 上 的 種 種 虛 偽 , 很 可 能 是 促 使 「 奇 拿 」 在 每 一 個 虛 偽 表 現 之 後 發 放 更 多 淫 照 , 並 不 斷 使 淫 照 尺 度 升 級 的 原 因 之 一 。 淫 照 風 暴 告 訴 我 們 , 有 些 人 認 為 , 只 要 關 起 門 來 , 只 要 不 被 人 知 道 , 或 只 要 沒 有 具 體 的 事 實 ( 照 片 ) 呈 現 在 公 眾 面 前 , 是 甚 麼 髒 事 都 可 以 做 的 , 是 甚 麼 謊 話 都 可 以 說 的 , 是 甚 麼 虛 偽 的 姿 態 都 可 以 擺 出 來 的 。
虛 偽 是 甚 麼 ? 法 律 上 的 虛 偽 陳 述 , 指 的 是 用 語 言 或 行 為 作 出 已 知 與 事 實 不 符 的 任 何 表 示 , 通 俗 地 說 , 是 指 一 些 使 人 誤 解 或 欺 騙 性 的 陳 述 。 淫 照 風 暴 所 帶 來 的 一 系 列 虛 偽 言 行 , 使 人 渾 然 覺 得 香 港 已 成 了 一 個 虛 偽 城 市 。
幸 而 仍 有 清 醒 的 、 堅 持 揭 示 真 相 的 傳 媒 。 幸 而 有 網 民 , 特 別 是 前 天 向 虛 偽 的 警 方 抗 議 的 示 威 網 民 。

HKU Notebook Programme 2007
昨日回港大,一心想如果啲Fujitsu實物ok,就會狠下心腸去買部新notebook.
點知七點鐘的陸佑堂已經多人到不堪切想,原來條queue係等緊俾錢.
咁睇機就唔使排隊的,但當我把玩了我想買的model兩秒之後,部機竟然blue screen.
我之後又有另一個男士一拿著部機,它又自己reboot.
我見分期付款條隊無人,就諗,多付400元可以省下很多時間,都ok.
點知,原來要先排另一條隊去對下張form先,嗰條隊又已累積了二三十人.
部機又唔係唔洗錢,都要咁排法,黐線.簡直係對所有港大畢業生的侮辱.
杯葛Fujitsu!抵制日貨!(<--突然轉駄咁愛國?)
(不過下星期又要去日本工幹和多留兩天逛逛,好矛盾的心情啊!)

最後一課
Last night I had my last lecture for the MFin programme. The time passed quickly. Dr. Carverhill could only cover a few concepts in the 3-hour lecture. I originally thought that classmates may exchange contact information or plan some after-exam activities or people who have not spoken to each other would start to have conversation. But the lecture time passed so quickly that none of these happened!
Ame Ame, don't always day dream please.
I expected to see someone, but he didn't show up. But I finally saw him when I was on my way to MTR station. He just managed to get to Admiralty. I smiled to him and he said hello to me. So, this marked the completion of my MFin lecture life! Cheers.

NB: Pain has not ended. I still need to take the last exam this week and to do the group project next two weeks.
--
But I have planned lots of celebration activities after the exam!
