Why does it always rain on me?

Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shining
I cant avoid the lightning
Oh, where did the blue skies go?
And why is it raining so?
Its so cold
I cant sleep tonight
Everybody saying everythings alright
Still I cant close my eyes
Im seeing a tunnel at the end of all these lights
Sunny days
Where have you gone?


Today, I feel it's raining, in indoor area. So strange.
I put my hands, try to feel the rain.
Sudden excitement, sudden saddened.

A post titled "Korean invented chinese language"

大意是, 有人認為韓國人發明中文字. 我對這些無聊的幻想沒太大興趣, 倒是有人的回應較有意思, 在此節錄一下.

no one invented language

sorry to cause you vexation about this...

the Koreans didn't invent Korean;
the Chinese didn't invent Chinese;
the Koreans didn't invent Chinese; and
the Chinese didn't invent Korean.

In the beginning...

there were Altaic grunts and there were Sino-Tibetan grunts. These grunts differed already because they were separated by time and a distance farther than a prehistoric man would dare venture, so that there was no contact between these two grunting groups of prehistoric people (you know, they didn't have cellphones or TVs and stuff like that). (And this point in time might already be halfway through the history of language development.)

A group of Altaic-grunting people traveled far to the east very early on. They were split among themselves by distance and seas. Some grunts developed into Manchu grunts, others into Korean and Japanese grunts. They have been separated from the other Altaic-grunting peoples for so long, it's hard to make a solid connection, nonetheless, their relation is quite likely.

The other group grunting in Sino-Tibetan also got split up over a vast area. The Sinitic grunts developed over time into a Chinese language. They recorded their speech and ideas in bone engravings that matched the monosyllabic nature of their speech. Over time this expanded and reformed until it developed into Chinese characters, specifically fit for the Chinese language.

Meanwhile, the peoples grunting in Korean and Japanese eventually developed into two distinct languages. However, they had not developed a way to record their speech and did not make such bone engravings like the Chinese did. But with civilization and the spreading of the three populations, they soon came into contact with each other and the Koreans and Japanese thought the Chinese way of writing was a good idea, and so they learned it and used it where they lived too.

But both these Korean and Japanese speaking peoples soon realized that not only was their languages polysyllabic, unlike Chinese, but the Chinese characters didn't match their language well. The Koreans worked hard to create a writing that would work for their own language, and it wasn't until the 20th century that it got full acceptance, but by that time so many monosyllabic-based words (including 2-syllable words) from Chinese were being used in the language (even everybody adopted Chinese names!!!), they also kept the Chinese characters, even if not using them at the very minimum continuing to educate their children.

The Japanese also developed a writing system of their own, one adapted from the general shapes of the Chinese characters, since they weren't as creative as the Koreans or the Chinese. They even thought the Chinese characters were so great that they enforced them to fit into the rules of their own language, along with all the other scripts they developed, and they even enforced them onto their local names, even though these names are unrelated to Chinese. In fact, many grown Japanese are even confused to the point that they tell their western colleagues that these characters are indeed of Japanese origin.

The Koreans also get confused about this matter as well, and although the characters clearly do not fit the grammar, syntax, or syllabic nature of Japanese and Korean, they are still greatly confused by this matter. The Uyghurs have a similar grammar, syntax, and syllabic nature as Korean and Japanese do, but they abandoned the idea of applying Chinese characters for writing their language.

In fact, it was the Chinese that were the creative ones. Not only did they invent their writing, but paper, (ink?), printing, medicine, (and does anybody have a more expanded list of all the thousands of inventions?), and one I saw recently, an object that detects earthquakes and their magnitude. Chinese inventions can literally fill volumes of books. How do the Koreans and Japanese compare?

Let me ask you: is it just me or are the Koreans trying really hard to claim to have invented something? Do I feel a little bit of jealousy here? Or even copyright infringement, false claims?? All the things they're good at manufacturing such as cars, ships, electronics, were mostly invented in the west already. The only thing I can think of is basically their own cuisine and Korea's hangul. And then, these aren't things that people use much around the world, not like cars and electronics. Although, I do hear westerners say "let's get some Chinese take-out", I rarely hear "let's go have Japanese" or "let's go have Korean" or "let's get sushi" or "let's get kimchi".

So even in the area of cuisine, it seems that Chinese has better standing throughout the world than Korean or Japanese does.

In conclusion...

I don't think the Chinese get enough recognition for their inventions. That includes Chinese characters. Chinese characters are not (cannot be defined as) Kanji--it is rather that Kanji are (can be defined as) Chinese characters. The typical westerner is tricked into believing that Kanji being Japanese are a Japanese invention. Even I was tricked this way until I investigated. They may have changed the look of a few here, and added a few there, but they're not the invention of the Japanese. This is the same for Korean too.

I even heard once, but I cannot prove it or give the source, that the Chinese were on the verge of inventing a car many many centuries ago while Europe was still in the dark ages and suffering from plagues and death, but the technology didn't advance far enough due to political unrest. Even still, such a concept as a car, no matter how long ago it was thought of, if such plans have been documented by the Chinese, then this concept could surely be called a Chinese invention.

So I don't give a care about the names dongyi, shang, dawenkou, or whatever, the Koreans cannot be claimed responsible for any of the Chinese language or inventions. A Korean should not try and deceive people by digging so far into history so that others will be easily tricked into believing they are a true race of innovation. They are the most backward, selfish, inward looking people I have ever met, and until recently have always been against any development happening in the world outside of Korea. They have always positioned themselves as the "little brother" of China (read: �p�̧�, hah--look at the shape of their peninsula), and throughout history they always ran to the "real and only" recognized emporer in China for help and guidance. China has had open communication with the west through the silk road and with the wise teachings from India for millennia. They have been open to the world, and have been innovative themselves providing their inventions to the world. Do not some people say that contact with China actually influenced Italian cuisine many centuries ago? What did Korea and Japan contribute to Europe? Hangul? Kimono?

For all the pride running through the blood veins of the Korean, if the Chinese had an ounce of it, they would be a greater nation than they are. How could they let the Japanese trample them in WWII? The Chinese should rise up and be proud of everything that is Chinese, and do not let the Koreans and Japanese take the credit. Maybe they should have taxed the Japanese and Koreans for using their characters, or force them to abandon the script if they would not be willing to be part of their empire. But that goes to prove to you how benevolent the Chinese actually are and that they were willing to allow the outer lying barbarian tribes attempt to educate themselves. Besides, it was their forefathers such as Confucius, Mencius and many others teaching and spreading humane values, all such wise forefathers that the outer lying barbarians lacked.

Nobody invented language. There was a natural need for communication and it evolved naturally.

Computer Science

星期二晚上課, 和上一講一樣, professor不時大話西遊~~ 有同學不太喜歡, 說難聽點, 好像有點"呃學費". 我倒是不太介意 (反正更呃學費的都上過). 反正照講那些課本內容多無聊, 老實說有幾多會真正有用? 倒不如聽一些其他東西.

Professor提到近年的Computer Science本科生收生質素每況愈下, 在整個大學中排尾幾. 其他大學的收生更惡劣, 竟然大部分的學額由副學士生填補. 在此同時, 人人都爭讀金融, 人人造夢要入Morgan Stanley. 真令人感慨! 曾幾何時, 我當年選科時, Computer Science是熱門科目, 排名也和Computer Engineering相距不太遠. 雖然不算是精英, 但算是中上. 聽到這個消息當然不太開心. 但現實歸現實, 大學這個象牙搭始終要和供求社會接軌. 沒人選就自然要收少一點學生, 委縮也沒辦法.

Professor認為, 這個現象很快會取得平衡, 當這一陣子的金融泡沫爆破, 意味著香港的地位給上海取替, 應該會有較多同學讀回電腦科目. 這讓我想起兩點. 第一, 我記得讀書的時候, 老師曾說過, 認為在十年內香港的金融地位不會被上海取代, 但十年後就難說. 算算日子, 十年早過去了. 我覺得急速取代中, 這日子絕對不遠, 可能連四, 五年都不用? 現在很多人趕去讀的, 當讀出來, 好可能已經不中用了. 就算多好景的行業也一樣. 第二是, 在上一次的同學聚會, 有一半同學已經轉行, 不再做電腦. 如果嚴格些選, 真正做 資訊科技行業的, 即純IT, 不是在其他行業做電腦的, 可能10個也不到. 這是收生問題嗎? 不是. 這是資訊科技的工不夠嗎? 不是. 是我們離開了那個行業. 我們根本不願花青春在科研, 沒把握的行業上. 如果沒有金融業的支持, 我認為只會更少人選讀IT.

我記得, 我初時畢業時還以為讀Computer Science會有較大的優勢. 寫一個較優質的program, 別人行出來的要10秒, 你用2秒, 不是更好嗎? 做事不久便發覺, 事實是, 根本沒人會理會. 你跟別人說Big-O, Travel salesman problem, 別人也不明白你在說什麼. 當然, 那是一個訓練抽象思維, 邏輯推論的過程, 在極端的情況下是有用. 但我覺得, 一個稍有智商的人, 也會做得一樣好. 有沒有讀這些理論, 反而不重要.

公司在年初開例會時, 經理曾提示我們未來要加緊學習business knowledge, 又說未來一年會在內地怎樣怎樣拓展. 好明顯, 對我這種純IT背景的人是一個強烈警號. 少人讀Computer Science不是一件可悲的現象, 而是一個反映現實的自然現象. 有什麼動機? 有出路嗎? 反正都是要學會計/金融, 為什麼不早一點學?

:O 要睡了

今時今日咁的服務態度

自從我打guild wars後, 就發現和記寬頻出海奇慢. 一打pvp就"現哂形", 呆左係度, 活生生給人打死. Pve呢? 打兩三小時的elite mission就會在個多小時後(一半之後)斷線. 再加上前幾個月無啦啦上唔到網, 咁好的服務, 係時候要轉下.

於是我去年十月頭打電話去和記寬頻要求終止合約. "小姐, 你的約到下年一月才到期wor, 我地唔可以咁早同你終止合約架. 請你十二月再打來啦." 咁我問, 係咪十二月打來就得, 有咩手續. "係呀, 十二月打番來1222, 按@#$再按1就可以的了. 請問仲有冇野可以幫到你?" 喔, 冇啦, 唔該哂.

十二月時, 有人打來問我續唔續約, 我梗係唔續啦, 順手話要cut服務. "如果而家終止合約, 係需要填番份表格再郵寄俾我地. " 咁你fax張表俾我啦. "公司規定只可以郵寄表格. 而家咁多假期, 需要兩個星期的工作天先可以寄到. 你合約到一月尾, 但我地要一月頭至寄到, 你填完再寄番, 約二月中先可以中止" 而家先十二月, 二月中咁耐? 點解唔可以fax? 你地冇fax機? 冇email咩? "公司規定只可以郵寄" 你用咩來郵寄? 要兩星期咁耐? "公司規定, 最長時間要兩個星期的工作天內寄到, 一般不用兩星期時間" 你地外判左去印度? 兩星期可以寄到美國再寄番來都得啦. "公司規定..."

成個鸚鵡咁, 我有咩計. 唯有等兩星期.

期間, 又有一個電話打來問續約. 我唔制啦梗係.

今日, 話咁快, 兩星期早已過去, 但我又事忙, 忘記左打. 今日下午番緊工, 好緊張de 緊 UAT的bug時, 電話響到.

"請問係咪X小姐? 我係和記環球電訊打黎架..." 心諗, 打得來真好, 兩星期過左啦wor, 點知...

"你係我地的長期客戶, 請問黎緊係咪會繼續支持我地呢?"

頂!!! 當時真係冒名火起. 即時發火鬧: "我咪話左cut囉, 你地仲打來做乜??? 你地寄張表寄左兩星期都未寄到, 攪乜架... 外判左去火星都唔駛咁耐呀? 間咁大的上市公司, 連email fax都冇, ...."

佢見咁的樣唔對路, 即刻話自己係宣傳部, cut服務要打番去1222直線.

好! 火都黎埋, 我就同你打去熱線度cut

一接通熱線, 即刻講件事始末, 鬧和記點樣過份, 不如俾個回郵快郵信封拒, 又或者dhl, 反正咁平, 等拒有效率d. 佢見我咁嬲, 都唔駛30秒就forward我去終止服務部.

一接通電話, 都未講任何野, 我即問服務員的全名, 我再repeat多兩次, 以示我會確實記得她. 仲問埋拒直線, 不過拒話冇直線. 跟住我就講和記幾咁冇效率, 身為間電訊寬頻公司竟然連fax, email的服務都冇, 都算啦, 仲要寄兩星期寄到無左影.

"請問邊位同事同你講要兩星期呢? 我地只需要一星期工作天..." 之前條友玩我?

我於是話: "我等左你同事好耐啦wor, 咁有冇d快捷方便d的方法?" "有! 我可以即刻fax俾你. email都得". (>u<)""~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

番到屋企check mail, 果然收到. 問CS全名果然有效. 我今晚就填左張form, 聽朝去郵局寄掛號. 要知道, email同fax都有機會寄失, 我驚和記的職員一不小心收唔到, 咁就唔好啦!

OT的日子

今日又OT啦~ 嗚~ 10小時45分鐘. 這是人的生活嗎?

自己真是笨蛋, 工作給人做, 自己便不用做啦, 但又不是懂得這道理. 但理想和現實總有那麼一點點的距離. 嗚嗚嗚~~

我是笨蛋嗎? baka desu!

在公司樓下的food court吃什麼呢? 我想吃烏冬. 但是那間小吃counter的幾個店員已經認得我了, 我有點怕叫每次都叫的鰻魚烏冬 -- 我怕那人說: 又是你呀? 你是貓嗎?

還好, 吃得飽飽的. 生活就是為了吃, 有飽飯吃都不錯喔!

深呼吸一下, 望望時鐘, 十時45分了~ 剛下火車, 很冷! 已經沒商店可以買好吃的麵包了, 只有七十一, 也只有小牛蛋, 說謊蛋糕和蛋卷可吃. 還好, 還有早餐吃.

收到一大堆賬單 -- 嗚~ 令我支出增加, 不想理.

回到家, 一放下袋開電腦, 登上我的RPG MSN messsenger -- guild wars. Missy NPC和我說hi. 還好, 還有npc應我.

十一時, 要打電話給紐約的同事問進度如何. 沒人聽 -- 太好了! 我也不想理公司的事. 留下口訊便收線.

看看myorc, 看看其他人的blog, 十一時五十二分.

呆左10分鐘

雪人放假了


公司樓下的商場food plaza, 有個好可愛的女雪人公仔. 每次路過, 都忍不住停步看看. 隨著2007年的來臨, 在她附近的男雪人消失了. 我知道她很快會放假 (定係被肢解?). 在她走之前, 影低她可愛的樣子 ^o^.

番工

一月二日, 千萬個不願意, 但都要上班. 眼訓到死呀!!

一月一日Guild Wars入面有禮物帽派. 每三小時一次, 試問一日唔食唔訓有幾多個三小時? 識計數的話都知唔係8個, 係9個!!! 又要出街, 海底cable又慢的關係, 令我雖然用緊HKBN100mb極速, 但感覺尤如56k!!! 我有兩個a/c, 要各拿4頂帽, 共8頂!!! 即係話平均每次起碼拿一頂! 否則要9個小時有多先可以拿哂!!! 雖然已托人VNC去我部機幫我拿帽, 但都lag到飛起!!! 結果我係1月1日晚上11時迫入最busy的district, 死都唔走, 等到1月2日凌晨1時. 開住兩個window, 一次過拿5頂帽!!! 哈, 好crazy!!!

每到新的一年, 又會有d不切實際的幻想, 希望新的一年脫胎換骨, 最好變靚d, 又中六合彩, 下個月退休....

現實係殘酷的. 醒下啦!

舊年讀書果度, 學到一句野好正 -- Plan is nothing, planning is everything. 都係時候想下要有d咩目標.

今年最想的係唔想讀書住. <== 懶呀!

第二想的係拍拖 <== 冇人要呀但係!!!

第三想的係升職加薪 <== 好有難度呀!!!!!!

第四想的係學煮野食 <== 呢個簡直係"Impossible is nothing!!!!!!!!!"

第五想的係睇少d八卦雜誌同蘋果, 睇d專業的, 例如Time, Fortune, cnn, CCTV...

好快, 已經將年頭一兩日有的熱情無情地淋熄左, 因為實在太不可能了!!!

A bit busy recently

心情指數: -10

最近工作上有點忙, 每日都番十一個鐘, 成日OT到8,9點. 坦白說, 很累.

和以前有點不同, 現在主要是分配工作, monitor同事工作結果, 開會, email. 簡單d講, 少左寫program.

累的原因是, 因為沒時間, 所以monitor得唔太好. 加上同事learning curve慢, 明明講好的工作, 可以跟我說誤會了, 或者說做好, 但結果總是做錯. 分配工作後永遠有很多問題. 工作做完又很多錯處, 要我執手尾. 我自己要答的email已經很多, 每日有3,4成時間開會或是和其他人討論等等, 還有其他東西要analyze, 真正做工作的時間只有很少. 還要我答你的問題和執手尾?

前兩天是UAT開始, 我根本沒東西可以給人UAT, delay了. 我心情很灰, 因為我已盡了力. 我叫同事check了兩次, 他們說沒問題. 我一行個program行唔到, 我很想知他們的check是check了什麼. 我忍不住發火, 頗大聲地問 -- "你唔明可以問, 我可以教你做, 但assign俾你的工作不可以糊裡糊塗. 你不問就代表懂, 那就要做好." 那一刻我很生氣. 明明Email寫得那麼清楚, 怎麼另外一個同事做得好好的, 你卻做成這樣子? 你叫我怎向上司交待? 要delay也不能這麼醜, 爭這麼多吧??? 太沒面子了. 向來我的工作態度都是: Get it done! 別人給我的工作, 遇到問題就想辦法解決. 一遇到問題, 隨意send個email就放下了, 等別人執手尾, 那算什麼???

這星期有美國new york的同事過來幫我set server. 幸運的是, 她很好人, 願意幫我做這些她根本不用做的東西. 在她的幫助下, 終於過了難關, 大部分也解決了. 經理都沒有怪過我什麼, 我很感激, 因為他真的很忙. 而我對於不能準時交貨感到很慚愧, 但我真的盡了力.

今日晚上8時, 我一個人在執手尾. 其實今天算很好了. 經理見我還在做, 過來問我還欠什麼. 當時我很生氣, 我生氣我希望我執的手尾是較"高難度"找出來的, 而不是隨意已能找到的bug. 我很坦白的說我在fix這樣的bug, 很不開心. 我忍唔住流了眼淚. 在更差的情況時, 我也沒喊. 其實我心情不是很差, 但我也不知道為什麼會哭起來. 其實經理觀察力很強, 很明白我的狀況, 於是幫我分柝一下. 我後來也冷靜下來, 不過走到洗手間仍然哭了一會. :( 可能這陣子又考試工作又忙吧.

我想我有時真的是太"好人"了. 經理說得對, 在必要時, 語氣要強硬一點, 也要清楚表達要求. 我覺得真的有點難度, 希望明天會好一點啦~

:( 好眼訓 ZZZzzz

好忙呀

好耐冇寫diary了. 上次寫的時候又係呢句, 再上次寫都係呢句... ~_~"""

呢輪身體唔太好, 咳左一個月了. 最初是發燒感冒, 發冷又無胃口, 基本上完全不似人形. 一個星期後好番, 點知就開始咳, 一咳就是一個月了. 情況一直有好轉, 但已經轉化為敏感咳, 非常難斷尾. 每日夜晚八九點開始就不停地咳, 咳到十二點一點. 總要咳到無氣無力才"收聲". 我試過夜晚十點便睡覺, 但結果都是咳聲. 上星期六晚咳到凌晨四點, 跟著星期日便一隻牛形熊貓咁. ;( 經理send了一封warning email俾我, remind我準時番工, 我好無奈. 每晚十點就訓, 但要咳醒, 攪到無精神, 可以點? 但唔通同經理講我咳咩 (都唔駛講啦)..... 但轉頭諗, 咳大哂咩. 人地俾錢請我番工, 唔係請個病人.... 又唔係第一日病, 有咩籍口? 自己都講唔出口啦! 唯有挨眼訓啦.

好慘呀, 日頭又冇乜野, 起碼可以話係咳少d, 但一到夜晚八九點開始就發作, 睇醫生佢好似唔多理我呢個病徵咁...肺又照埋. 唉, 都唔知點.

呢輪工作上又忙了很多, 有時要加班, 工作堆積一天又一天. 不過感覺都幾愉快, 比幾個月前的我感覺多了衝勁. 之前擔憂自己的英文太差, 現在都習慣了, 可能是聽多了, 沒有那麼"緊張", 反而可以更自然. 幸運的是, 人事上沒有什麼問題. 比起舊公司的boss, 現在的經理很有責任感, 不會"瀉"(點寫呀?)膊, 什麼都可以一起討論解決. 我亦感到自己較以前independent. 我記得初入公司第一次開會, 我覺得我所有的同事都非常厲害, 可以很有條理地交待各自的工作, 而且每人都可以非常獨立地處理一件事, 一點都不用旁人費心. 現在我覺得我也有進步, 應該不久可以更加獨立呀 ;)

唔寫啦, 都係早d訓啦, 唉.

今天, 就和平日一樣, 但卡樂B死了.

很平靜. 可能年紀太大了. 他近來很少走動.

好耐冇寫blog

原來我好耐冇寫blog啦! 耐到我自己都忘記左有幾耐; 耐到我連自己個blog URL係 http://janetyung.blogspot.com 都忘記左, 去錯左 http://cattle.blogspot.com !! 耐到我有太多野想寫但係唔知寫乜好.

講番先. 呢幾個月發生左好多事. 咁正常呀, 我又唔係植物人, 每一日梗係有好多事發生架啦.

首先, 我身體差左, 哈! 肥左好多囉, 但都唔太覺ge, 除非你好耐冇見我!

第二, 我轉左工. 自從畢業後, 我非常懶搵工, 於是一日又一日咁留係舊工司. 生活過得平靜(又平淡), 日復日, 月復月, 一切變得太理所當然, 簡單d講, 好似退左休咁, 做野冇衝勁.

對自己太無要求的我, 不知道要搵咩工. 老實講, 咁多年來自己的路都在一條火車軌上面走, 只要乖乖地沿住條火車軌行, 既冇意外, 又平坦, 開開心心. 但出來做野邊有條火車軌架, 咪出事囉, 哈~

而家份工叫轉左industry啦, 雖然都係做IT野. 但個感覺好fresh, 起碼覺得好新奇, 很想學習. 太長時間做同一樣的野, 真係幾閉. 而家我的skill set都幾weak, 所以出番去外面都唔知點算, 見步行步啦唯有.

其實都算習慣左新工, 唯一的問題係我對accounting / finance的知識太貧乏, 加上英文listening超差, 唉~~~~ 無奈呀簡直. 英文呢d死症, 冇得救.

第三, 我買左部notebook比媽咪. 真係服左佢呀~~~ 咁大個人都有興趣學電腦. 其實都好辛苦下, 又要做野, 又要學野, 仲要學倉頡同上網. 阿媽咁興奮, 我梗支持啦. 雖然佢話用我部舊腦就算. 講真呀, 係就好少少啦, 咪買部dell俾佢囉, 仲install緊software. Dell呢間公司真係幾惦, 我上佢個購物網站買電腦, 買的過程非常享受, 係我網上購物以來最快樂的經歷. 你可能會話: "大佬! 你買咁貴的野, 梗開心啦, 咁貴都唔開心, 真係貼錢買難受咩!" 唔係架其實, 佢個網真係惦.

好多癈話添, 呵呵呵.

第四, 呢輪睇左本書叫"鬼嫁日記". 講一個可憐的日本丈夫怎樣受家中的"河東獅"欺淩. 又真係幾可憐ge, 我一路睇一路諗, 乜真係有咁ge人架咩? 惡的女仔我都見過, 都幾難頂架. 講咩人呀, 我都算幾惡. 不過書中講的老婆真係好恐佈...... 我諗, 佢一定好靚, 否則點會有人肯要架! :P

第五, 呢輪好懶, 冇做運動.

第六, 呢輪打多左機. :P 我開始左玩Final Fantasy Online XI (以下簡稱FFXI). 好不幸地, 時間匆匆流逝, 過左差唔多兩個月我都仲係level 9..... 哈! 無計... 好鬼悶呀真係, 成日要打蜜蜂, 雀仔, 地蟲升level, 間中仲會比d 大turtle追. 有時turtle二人組(一大一細)會一切出動, 如果一不小心打左小turtle, 大turtle會幫拖, 好易瓜柴架! 一瓜左又跌level, 仲要行好遠路報仇!!! 一諗起就傷心了 (哀) 聽d高level的人講, 呢隻game好鬼變態架, 乜都講錢, 冇錢冇level. 咁錢咪就係現實生活比錢買FF代幣果度來囉......唉~~~ 咁鬼現實的世界, 令現實已窮的我更加灰. /___\ 當然隻game都幾可愛ge, 靚的景, 靚的公仔, pve來說都真係幾俾心機 (大佬, 收錢架wor)

至於Guild Wars, 都仲有玩啦當然, 不過多數weekend囉, 始終weekday都係冇乜時間, 更重要係冇精神.

第六, 呢輪成日都冇乜精神, 覺得每日都好多鎖事要做. 一個人住真係煩好多, 乜都要自己理, 洗衫清潔執屋洗碗, 仲要打機, 你話幾忙! 加上而家迫住要搭地鐵, 休息時間又少左, 多左無聊諗野的時間囉.....有好有唔好...... 我多數用來睇書~~~ 係囉係囉, 即係八卦雜誌囉. 哈~

第七, 年紀大左, 唔想玩icq, msn.....email都懶check... 唉

第八, 我而家番工仲遲到呀. 都唔知點算...... 而家番工果度有個好大的噴水池. 呢個池好可愛架, 係一個大大的圓球形水桶係中間, 水就由東南西北射入去水桶的頂部. 由於佢係圓球形, 當水未盛滿時, 水的重力會令球搖搖下, 好大聲架! 如果我上班時見到佢搖搖下, 即表示我冇遲到, 或者遲好少, 否則即係遲到. 好不幸, 我好耐冇見到佢搖來搖去的可愛樣子啦, 嗚~~~

要訓啦要訓啦, 否則又遲到, 又miss左水桶搖來搖去.

When You're Gone

Hold onto love that is what I do now that I've found you.
And from above everything's stinking, they're not around you.

And in the night, I could be helpless,
I could be lonely, sleeping without you.

And in the day, everything's complex,
There's nothing simple, when I'm not around you.

But I'll miss you when you're gone, that is what I do. Hey, baby!
And it's going to carry on, that is what I do. Hey, baby...

Hold onto my hands, I feel I'm sinking, sinking without you.
And to my mind, everything's stinking, stinking without you.

And in the night, I could be helpless,
I could be lonely, sleeping without you.

And in the day, everything's complex,
There's nothing simple, when I'm not around you.

But I'll miss you when you're gone, that is what I do. Hey, baby!
And it's going to carry on, that is what I do. hey, baby...

150cm life

今日在旺角逛時, 故意走一趟二樓書店尚書房, 已經很久很久沒有看書了. 沒有看書的日子, 人總是很枯燥.

坦白說, 很失望, 見到的書都是 "簡易數獨", "我可以不上班嗎?", "沒有股票經驗賺了二百萬", "如何管理時間和金錢", "醜陋的日本人", 等等. 這些白痴書有人會買的嗎? 光看書名就不想看了. 結果買了兩本最正常的書, 其中一本是"150cm life".

"150 cm life"是一本單色繪本. 作者本身是一個只有150公分身高的女子, 用她的150cm角度去細看生活的點滴, 真的很有趣. 我本身是155cm, 有很多地方真的"感同身受", 哈哈~ 不過好欣賞她用很獨特的角度, 把一些自成長以來都習以為常的, 都娓娓道來. 例如, "共撐一把傘時, 總是別人為自己服務". 又例如在讀書的年代, 坐的總是在最前, 擦黑板總是不夠高, 擦不到; 坐火車又會迫得很辛苦.

看到這兒我自然地想起讀小學六年級時的三件趣事. 第一件是排座位: 班主任說老是矮的同學坐在前面吸黑板的白粉, 高的同學就不能近看黑板太唔公平了, 於是弄出一個"每天轉座位"的計劃. 每天的座位是昨天的座位的右一行及向前上一格. 例如, 昨天坐右三, 今天便右二, 後天便右一, 再後天便坐最尾排了. 這個古怪的安排令我很興奮, 因為終於有機會坐到最尾了, 可是看黑板的確難了. >_<

第二件事是, 選班長的事. 一般而言每幾個月都會選一次, 揀一個班長, 兩個副班長. 有一次, 老師說老是女生做班長太不公平了(!?), 於是提議由班上的男同學做班長. 這個提議真好, 因為班上只有三個男生, 不用選了. 加上老師又說, 只有三個男同學, 差不多四十個女同學, 怕他們會被欺負, 於是安排他們坐在一起. 這也可能是對的, 印象中, 我們都幾鍾意欺負他們. (邪惡的牛呀!)

第三件是, 三級戲院的事. 讀小五時我才搬到大埔住. 小一至小四都坐3號校巴的. 3號線的校巴特別少人, 走的路線是油麻地至太子至學校, 早上的路線會途經碼頭和果欄, 那兒是超多人和很大"橙"味的. 附近有間三級戲院, 每次我們這群小朋友都會"擰"向左面(果欄), 因為如被發現不"擰"向左面, 便會"不幸"地望到右邊三級戲院的宣傳板, 會被笑"咸濕"的. 其實, 果陣都唔會明套戲講乜架啦, 有乜所謂, 不過我真係冇望過, 究竟個宣傳板究竟係咩模樣呢?

Why Does It Always Rain On Me?

食lunch時天陰陰, 突然想起呢首動人的歌

Travis
Why Does It Always Rain On Me?


I can't sleep tonight
Everybody saying everything's alright
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all these lights

Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning

I can't stand myself
I'm being held up by an invisible man
Still life on a shelf when
I got my mind on something else

Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning

Oh, where did the blue skies go?
And why is it raining so?
It's so cold
I can't sleep tonight
Everybody's saying everything's all right
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of the lights

Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning
Oh, where did the blue skies go?
And why is it raining so?
It's so cold
Why does it always rain on me?
Why does it always rain on....

懶呀~

好耐冇update diary了.....

因為生活沒有太的變化, 非常的規律! 番工, 吃飯, 放工, 吃飯, 打機, 訓覺. 最近公司改了制度, 要我們在九點十五分前番到公司. 對我這種沒規律沒時間觀念的人來說, 真是極度痛苦. 起初大家日日熊貓咁, 扒在桌上睡(扒桌熊!?), 後來習慣了. 現在過了半個月, 大家又故態復萌了...哈~~~

最近很少看書. 真是太懶了. 我一向認為, 幾忙都要睇書, 咁樣先不會心靈空虛. 呢輪少左行二樓書店, 連書都少看了..... 反而在看一本叫Number Theory的書. 咁學術的書我不向都唔會睇架嘛! 哈~~~ 諗起就好笑... 二百幾蚊薄過copybook的書! 痴線架真係, 點解我會買ge? 真係傻傻地.....

呢輪生活很悶. 我又重看了一遍《小王子》. 可能小王子太可愛了, 在地鐵見到郭晉安扮小王子的造型, 真的很嘔心. 小王子是多麼的天真無邪, 怎能找一個四十歲的大人來扮呢? 唉!!!

上星期東周刊跟蹤"步步高"的媽媽, 看她怎樣為"入魔"兒子祈福. 初時看封面覺得"有咩好睇". 看內文時, 感覺是, 很心酸. 一個家庭, 在缺少了一個子之主, 只餘下兩個女人一個小孩, 家庭和心理的負擔是這麼大! 如果警隊可以給他們多點援助就好了~~~~ 傳媒的報導真的令他們很難生活下去, 簡直是迫死人!

尋晚和guild wars一個player chat, 聽到一個好感人的電影故事. 一個女的知道男的要去西班牙, 在臨別時說了一句西班牙話. 男的問是什麼? 女的說是再見. 男的後來才知那句話, 原來是"愛你一生一世"的意思. 雖然我很討厭這種橋段, 還要借我愛的西班牙語過橋, 有點太造作. 不過有時人要浪漫一點才有趣嘛! :P~

這時突然想起Ricky Martin的Te Extrano Te Olvido Te Amo. 找找mp3先!

I'm currently listening to "Michael Jackson - Gone too soon". Thx Joanna's ogg :)
