祈望

祈望

作曲：林子祥
作詞：潘偉源
編曲：陳志康

祈望你會振翅向著遙遠目標高飛往
祈望你擦破海風棲身理想中的對岸
祈望你以串串美夢眠過萬千的晚上
別我以後莫回望

祈望你會恕過帶著仁愛內心多開朗
祈望你以每點真一一細賞身邊快樂
祈望你會獻上漂亮微笑在漆黑照亮
別我以後莫回望

* 願你高飛前路往休擔心晚風與夕陽
你的一生是我夢
前路更闊更漫長
用你的心攜著我一生中我總會在旁
承受你每片感觸一一烙在心上

祈望你以勇氣撥落微雨耐心的攀上
祈望你也會展開星光遍灑溫馨晚上
祈望你以志氣每日承諾內心的盼望
踏上歲月路途上

執房

執房摷出一堆舊物, 忍不住睹物思人感慨一番。
一狠心, 全部丟掉。
爽。

每一個明天 - 陳奕迅

August Update

CMA board report result is out! Almost officially a CMA unless some horrible things happened - and the chance of such occurrence is so slim that even a pessimist like me would dismiss it as too remote to worry about.

**************************************************************

My beloved netbook was so sluggish that renders it useless. If anyone is old enough to remember how a cassette tape sounded like when the walkman runs out of battery - that's exactly what I heard when I play my tunes on iTunes. Virus scan/Spyware scan turned out nothing, CCleaner and Defrag didn't do the trick either. The only option left is to reformat the netbook, but here's the catch: there's no CD/DVD drive in the netbook, so how can I reinstall Windows? After spending entire day looking for ways to boot the computer using USB key, I gave up and went to buy an external DVD drive instead. After 30+ times of restarting the netbook looks like the baby is back.

Only one mystery remains: Why is the "System" PID 4 took up 100K+ memory when the system is not running any programs even after reformatted?

**************************************************************

The laptop is running well still but it is already 6 years old. The back-to-school deal are tempting, and since I'm done with school, I have all the time in the world to rid of the crapware and tune the new laptop to my likings. Some of my fav applications may not be available in Windows 7, will to see how to get around that.

**************************************************************

Found a FB app called F.B. Purity. It is absolutely fantastic if you are tired of weeding out the real updates from all the game updates from your friends. The app can be downloaded from http://www.fbpurity.com/

Learning my new job while providing training on my old job. It has been a rough transition but starts to see light at the end of the tunnel. New job is really different from the old stuff I used to do, it is refreshing to see things from different angle.

This song has been looping in my head for the past week.
個人喜歡張宇那種比較「有力水」的演繹, 陳慧琳版太K歌Feel了。

GET OUT OF THERE!

Bye Bye Italy!

睇住班意大利影帝輸波出局, 個心涼快非常!

又: 今年賭世界杯做莊嘅簡直賺到笑。

我只在乎你

當年看到這段就狂笑, 10年後再看... 再也笑不出來

最近比較煩

買衫記

在屋企附近的小Boutique執到好嘢, 一條 Columbia褲只售$20, 抵到爛!

又話說老豆為我看中一件大衣, 著我試身。兩老看後頻呼「好cute好cute」, 不禁有點啼笑皆非, 心諗「我都一把年紀啦,你估我係老萊子咩...囧」

好在件大衣款式 Classic, 我諗我都仲 Carry到, 否則任兩老點讚我都唔會買!

(又: 有人讚都唔高興, 我有時都覺得自己好L煩)

好 ● 熱

已經超過一個禮拜錄得30度以上高溫 , 對肥人如我者簡直係「心痛苦 比處死更難受」!

天氣咁熱 , 最開心莫過於「飲番杯冰啤凍酒」。不過每日一啤恐怕會令肚腩漲到可以虛報Mat Leave嘅萬劫不復之地 , 唯有忍口。慘!

"XX化"

在一個相當優質的Blog上赫然發現"優化"這怪詞:

http://martinoei.wordpress.com/2009/04/21/%e6%9c%ac%e5%8d%9a%e5%ae%a2%e7%9a%84iphone%e5%84%aa%e5%8c%96%e7%89%88/
"本博客的iPhone優化版"

我認為:

大部份"XX化"的形容詞都是直接翻譯英文"xx-ize"等字,中英雜交("歐化")的產物。

但如有現成的中文形容詞可用就應避免用"XX化"的這種膠中文。

又:

不是逢"X化"皆膠, 偶然也有佳作:
"赤化" - 令人馬上聯想到血流成河的畫面。

Easter long weekend

盛情難卻, 去了朋友的教會 Open House。

牧師是典型死光社人, 只對性議題有興趣, 社會公義隻字不提。又把進化論扭曲得面目全非來「證明」「人的偉大」。

這種沒水準的牧師非常趕客 :P

**********************************************

悶了一個上午後決定去 Hero Burger 試試。

評價: Premium 價錢, 不外如是。

看 Hero Burger 開到一街都係, 怕且都會步Krispy Kreme 後塵咯。


呢個 Weekend 真黑仔。

Delay No More

This morning I need to get in office early to do month end stuff so I took the 6:28 am GO Train, and guess when it arrived at Union? 8:22am

40 min train ride turned into a 2 hr journey on my busiest day of the month. Lovely. (Yes I am psst)

**********************************************************************************

I have subscribed to the Go Alert email so let's see what we get about these delay...

Email #1:

Richmond Hill passengers may expect a longer commute than usual this morning due to equipment issues in Richmond Hill. Please visit http://www.gotransit.com/publicroot/en/status/showtrainbus.aspx for updates.

This message was sent on: 4/7/2009 6:54 (am)


Email #2:

Richmond Hill train service is estimated to be delayed over 30 minutes due equipment issues. Update to follow.

This message was sent on: 4/7/2009 7:11 (am)


Email #3:

The equipment issue at Richmond Hill has been resolved. The Richmond Hill 07:28 - Union 08:10 train trip is estimated to be delayed 15 minutes from Richmond Hill and the Richmond Hill 07:58 - Union 08:40 train trip is expected to operate as scheduled. Please visit http://www.gotransit.com/publicroot/en/status/showtrainbus.aspx for updates.

This message was sent on: 4/7/2009 7:37 (am)

***************************************************************

My thoughts:

1. My train was 6:28am and the first email alert wasn't sent until 6:54, almost 30 min after the fact. (They can argue that an alert will only be issued if the delay is 30min or more, but considered that I can reach downtown from RH in 30min if I drive on a traffic free day - the email alert doesn't sound too useful to me.)

2. The 6:28 train departed RH at 7:12 and reached Union at 8:22 am this morning, so can someone tell me how this is possible: "The Richmond Hill 07:28 - Union 08:10 train trip is estimated to be delayed 15 minutes from Richmond Hill" (Email #3).

3. There was nothing in the bulletin board or the Go Alert saying how long it took the 6:28 train to reach Union. I would love to see if they will include this delay in the statistics at all, or if they will just play the number game (how many times of >15 min delay, so this is only one count; and as Email #3 indicated, even their statistics for the duration of delay is questionable).

4. GO has increased their fare every year and I don't see much improvement in their services.

5. Almost Every train trip are 5-10 minutes late and they won't include those "minor" delays in their statistics.


GO Train, stop calling yourself environmentally friendly - You are not. People drive to work because of your incompetence.

痴線事件簿 - 電話

如常在家使用電話交費 ---
"9" - (以為自己在公司, 用9打街線)
"1" - (1800 電話)
"1" - (手震, 打多左個1)

電話通左, "This is the police station...."

Sh*t....打左911!!!

Sorry一輪後對方說, "Nonetheless, the police needs to come by to make sure you are ok."
於是面懵懵地迎接差人哥哥 >_<

(還好差人哥哥倒是挺友善的)

TTC 顛佬

在繁忙時間搭TTC遇上一個手拿一大桶天拿水 (重點!), Hi嘢 Hi 到口水鼻涕長流 (Literally 長流果隻)的顛佬。心中暗叫不妙,腦海登時出現天拿水焚人/車的畫面,嚇得急急離開車廂。

TTC閘口班大帝究竟幹舍的??

I made it!
