Uninvited- alanis morissette

This song came into my mind this morning.

"You 're in a wired (werid!?) position.. it does affect the level of openness... " Seems that I should never go there. I went there, hoping that I could lower the bar, but still the bar was set. I feel a bit disappointed when hearing that.
Shit.. what the hell is going on here. All the foul words are flowing in my mind, such as the f word, d word, and dls.

The first thing I had in mind when I woke up this morning is: 不如今日 sickleave 啦... I really wanna be in comma today. Messy, that's all I can say about my mind at that moment, that's why I wanna get into comma and then just leave all the things behind. But... remembering that I got something important to do, I just let myself getting up 15mins later than usual, and then went to work. Still... I am the first one arriving the office today.

After working for the whole day in cra yesterday, i went into Sai Kung to join their camp. Just got nothing work keeping warm, I took a windbreaker and a sleeping bag.

Arriving there at 10pm, had bbq till 12 and then played and talked till 4am... Got up at 10am... the late sleep won't compensate.

Got home at 2pm, but my family was out and I got no key of the home, so I went back to Kennedy town to sleep... till 6pm... and went back home for dinner.

Slept again after dinner till 930pm...

The brain doesn't function well at this moment... just said what i said.

Not deep enough, keep going...

Went to HMV after lunch, listening to 林海峰's 三字頭...

The songs of the whole album.. I like the beat and the rythmn... just that I didn't listen carefully to the lyrics. Anyway, interested on it.
Sometimes, I really dunno what they have in mind...

Ha, no wonder after I found the video clip of Michael Jordan interview in the 60 minutes, it also showed in ATV world lastnight. So many may have seen it. Yes.. it's correct, it said those participating in his basketball camp had to pay fifteen thousand dollars (USD15000).... that's more than 100k HKD...shit...

And just remembered in the interview,

"Bradley asks if Jordan ever imagined when he started playing basketball that one day he would be running a half-billion dollar company.

“No, I never really thought about it. All I thought about was doing what I was good at and letting that open up a lot of opportunities for me and choosing from that point on,” Jordan says. "

Dunno why, I think even reading his book, interview, and video over and over again, I won't feel bored. Every time I read or watch it, I will get more understanding. Really wanna buy his new book, "Driven from within".

Do I open up enough opportunities for myself and my career?
-.- . . .--. / - .... . / ..-. .- .. - .... / .- -. -.. / .-- .- .. - .-.-.- .-.-.- .-.-.-
Never think about problems, look forward solutions.

Tonight coxed the 4... Originally, we planned to row 4x tonight, but since there's no one who can be the cox, we didn't row at last. Sorry that Go Lo have come but did nothing...

Hope that the thing I bought suits...

Happy Birthday!

What the hell is going on here...
Michael Jordan still flying high- CBS News

The video is here. You may also have to download the codec here.

"Michael Jordan is not ready to walk away from basketball completely. He hopes to own an NBA team someday. And while he knows he’ll never play again, he is cocky enough to think he could.

Asked, if at age 42 he could play again in the NBA and make a contribution, Jordan says, “Oh, yeah. Sure. Even though, physically I can’t do it. The mind says, ‘Yeah, I can still do it. And I still think I can do it better than most in the NBA.” "

These days, the issues of career, friends, relationship, team kept bothering my mind, one at a time... Any instability in one aspect affected my mood towards other aspects.

Get something organized first. Just looked at the list of the new guys this year, got the determination to handle them, so now feeling better, just a bit better.
中環填海為交通 商業發展不宜多- from Mingpao today.

Frankly, I don't like to see the Victoria Harbour getting smaller and smaller. I dun wanna see the Star Ferry Pier removed (Cos I took pictures there with my dad, when I was 2 years old). But if it's for relieving the traffic congestion and if there will be a beautiful harbour front later, and if this is the LAST reclamation in Central, it's worthwhile.

But remember the aim is to reduce the traffic congestion, not creating traffic congestion. If another crowd of commercial buildings will be there, it will lead to the flow of cars through those areas. So the capacity of the newly built road will soon be saturated. So will there be another round of reclamation? This is useless and meaningless even the Harbour becomes Shing Mun River (Remember long time ago it's Shatin Sea), or even the Harbour is filled.
See what it is...

dls... 唔好係咁咳得唔得? 又或者帶番個口罩得唔得?
Reading those words, I really wonder if i am that cruel. 玩? I never think of joking concerning that aspect. If I am really a killer whale, I would not have come and beg for pardon. I am sweating again, while the temperature indoor is 24 degree celsius. Obviously, it's not about the temperature of the surrounding.

10k single, 49:15.

Rowed with Ying Kei. Mm.. really dun wanna think much about other things while rowing, so why dun we just row non-stop? Starting from 0 mark, then we can finish 10k at the finish mark. It has been long time I didn't try 10k. This time rowing with someone together, I can become more focused, and it feels like much easier to row. With such a long distance, how to avoid wasting your energy is much more important, so it's needed to pay much more attention on every single stroke. And since you 're rowing upstream and downstream without rest, you have to adapt to the different environment quickly so that you can go on effectively.
How come I sweated even the office turned on the air-conditioner (it's 23 degree celsius...)? 莫非真係有野令我汗顏? mm... seems I gotta get this thing done first before anything.
Tonight, I just joked around for a few seconds, saying "賠啦..." while walking past ric and bowie.

Actually I like to joke around (if I can). Maybe some ppl will say I made bad gag (I dun like this word, actually, even my little bro doesn't like it), but I just like to do that. However, I cannot do it while in the new guys training, cos I have to look around and make sure everything is ok. Also, I want to set an example to the new guys. Come on, trust me, I dun like to 擺款. If I can be the other, I would like to be the one joking around and hanging around.

But exactly during those seconds, I forgot about that and those words just came out naturally.

唔通真係有自唔在, 攞苦來辛?

Those few seconds reminded me of the words Lok said yesterday, Natural High.

Just got the photos of the inter-branch basketball game...Before the start of the game...
台長話, 獎都俾你拎埋啦, 仲想點呀? 做埋二月就好扯啦吓... (just kidding)
It's such a pleasure to play with them.
Dunno why there's such a problem in the system, it keeps sending me an email at 59th minute every hour, it's like an alarm! shit...

Even I finished a task before the deadline, I should go on to the next task as soon as possible. That's not the way to waste something you earned.

My mind just stopped working effectively in the afternoon, again it 's wandering around. Gotta stop day-dreaming!

Sunday, October 23, 2005

Really hope that I can have your smile. (You means more than one)
For the love of the game.

Once you developed the interest in it, the mental part is easy.

The love of the game begins when you can play well? It maybe true, but not absolutely. For me, when I can play it well, I will start to hope I can play it even better. But the love, or in the beginning, the like, comes from the thought that I will be able to play it well someday. Or the reason is much more simple: it's because you like it!

Maybe the interest is disturbed, or distracted by some failures. Maybe you think you worked so hard but still you didn't get any result. Who playing the game didn't work hard? Having this burden will prevent you from going better, or it may even stop you. I experienced failure in my fourth year, with this kind of burden. But later, I told myself, I play it for the interest, and I will be able to play it better next time.

I just remembered what I said today, I had already have a target for the new guys last year since the start of the year. Maybe that's why I could be in focus on training them. Do I have any target for the new guys this year?
Went to cra to host the "continuous course" in the morning ( I am a participant, too, haha) and then went to cityu to watch the Inter-U swimming competition.

PolyU was going just TOO fine. Over these years, I never saw Mrs Ngai looked so calm and confident in this event. Before she would be tensed till the end, but this year she just looked so calm. PolyU Boys led the others by 20 or something. Though the Girls lagged behind the first, the situation was certainly in control. As expected, we won the Overall Champ (for two straight years).

But I think everyone of us, will never forget that event, cos it was near perfect, but something just made it not totally perfect. In the Boys 4x50m freestyle relay, it was such an exciting event. Even we lagged behind at the first and second lap, we finally crawled back and won the first at last. We all cheered! We won, isn't it just perfect? But just at this moment, a bad news came. We were disqualified because one of us jumped into the pool to celebrate.... before the event was completely finished. That's why we were disqualified.

What we got were an Overall champ, a lesson, and a problem. The lesson is actually simple: don't be overwhelmed too much unless it was really certain, cos there was really such a rule, though no one may remember and no one will think they will violate it carelessly.

The problem is, how to handle the situation, how to stand down the situation. I think someone is still unable to get control of the team. I just wonder if the coach can control the team, as the team contains more and more athletes having strong swimming background. If it 's possible, then how?

Watched the Sixth Sense again.

It's no longer scary, rather i think more about what it meant. Bruce Willis saw the boy and he came to help the boy as a way to help the one he couldn't help before he died. Maybe he died because of the one he couldn't help, he came back to "pay the debt". Still, I still feel the ending attractive, when it came to the fact that he was dead actually.

I remembered I watched this film with a girl in the cinema. I asked her out because I liked her, but I never know that she had a boyfriend. How embarassing it was, haha. Nevermind, we have been good friends since then.
Slept at 1:35am lastnight, and got up at 730am...

Any sleepiness? No, none. Maybe it's due to the rowing lastnight, or maybe it's due to the conversation lastnight, haha.

No matter if the problem is solved by me, I am happy to see the problem solved, cos I am the one who care (most).

Finally got my new pair of shoe~
Though it's the same pair of shoe, it's of different color. Hopefuly it will give me the same feeling.


By the way,
Found great difficulties in such a restricted environment, not being able to do what I want easily....hai.

Friday, October 21, 2005

Took a sick leave today... due to sorethroat at the morning...
Or maybe due to laziness... Maybe my job allowed me to be lazy sometimes, I am not taking this advantage to get lazy... until it's necessary.

So it's a day of staying at home, so that I can do some household stuff. Seems there 're much time, but actually not. I can do as many things as I can, or even there 're not enough time for me. Suddenly, my mum popped up from my mind, she told me to subscribe to a new mobile number for her, because of Fung Shui reaon, ha. She even told me to change my own number too... shit... I dun wanna give up my number I 've been using for 7 years.

Be myself first. I often remind myself of this these days. It doesnt mean I have to be self-centered, or even selfish, but often thinking how other think and feel of what I was doing is just not necessary. Just put your concern on, give the optimum care to others is ok, then at other times, just act naturally. The more you play it naturally, the higher the chance you can archieve what you want.

Maybe because I can't be myself, i find it tensed and difficult to do what i want to. The more you concern the expectation of your "audience", the harder you can play it naturally.

Started a new project today, it is about UV forecasting.

This project is less complex than the previous ones, what I gotta do is to extract information from several sources, and then put them into an equation to get the final predicted value.

No matter what, starting a new project made me excited, because i gonna create something new.

Just remembered what Lok said, creating is easy and happy, while maintaining is not as easy and happy as creating.
When I woke up this morning, I found that what i was doing was quite familiar. Seems that I saw it in a dream before. We will see the future in the dream, but we won't see it clearly if it gonna be true.

Just picked up this book again, "The Last Season- A team in search of its soul" by Phil Jackson. I haven't finish this book, but now I will read it from the start again. Last time I read it, I wanted to know the inside story of the Lakers, the relationship between Kobe Bryant and Phil Jackson. This time, I read it to know more about how he handled the conflicts inside the team.
Seems it's quite hard to have such a clear view in HK, except the Golden Week. The air quality is so dependent on the mainland.

And the air quality in the office is so dependent on my colleague. He kept coughing these days. Maybe that's why I don't wanna stay in the office after 5pm.
woo... the stock market just kept going down...

HSBC just costed $120 per share... it seems to be a good time to buy.

But... what happened...

Crazy....

Tuesday, October 18, 2005

Feeling quite tensed today, facing so many problems.

Going back to gym, so good that Steve suggested to ergo, so me, sun, and steve ergoed together. At least, found a way to release some pressure.

Contradiction, while feeling annoyed in the trouble, later I may think it's worthwhile. Let say I got some kids later, I have to know what they think. Unlike my dad, I should talk more to them, not only at the moment they leave to be on their own.

Mm... after having dinner at home, I went back to my place. Sometimes I wonder why I sleep at another place, but anyway I have been living here for 8 years. Bought something to fill up the fringe. Washed the clothes. Played the piano for a while, playing the theme song of the "Piano". Paid more attention while playing this song cos I wanna play it better. Seems got it smoother now. Later I can just relax and play faster. Though I have to handle these household things, I enjoy doing this. This is a way of life I want, just that I dun want to do it alone all the time.
十萬火急!

點拆...
Showing concern to the crews.

We 've been through the stage of being crews. We may know the problems that the crews encountered in their second year, but we may not remember how we solved the problem, or how others helped us to solve the problems. Or we may even have not come across the problems.

That's the same thing as rowing yourself and teaching others to row. However, it's not about technical expertise, it's about psychological expertise. It's about how much you understand your crews, and the approach taken in understanding. Since it's totally another perspective, we have to accumulate our experience in this area. But first, we need to have the concern- the heart to understand.

It reminded me of something talked about in an article in mingpao today: 利人精神.

天啊...我側邊的同事係咁咳...
Just talked to my boss's boss's boss- Assistant Director...

Actually he did most of the talking. On one hand, it sounded like he told me to find opportunity somewhere else, but he also suggested me to think about the road ahead after this job. Since time has changed, ppl dun have to worry about supporting their family (partly true, partly wrong). So they can pursue their goal, based on their interest. He said ppl in my age should look long-term, not short-term. We should think about what quality of life we want in the coming 40 something years. He suggested that I can also consider studying a PhD.

This just reminded me of what Lok talked to me before; he was thinking about the quality of life he wanna achieved. It just made me wondered if what both of them said is based on one assumption: that they 've already satisfied the basic need of their life. That's why they had such thoughts.

Anyway, my boss's boss's boss really looked like my uncle, no matter the look, and the behaviour. So the feel is so close.
So much to learn, so much to think.

Heart and Desire.

Be myself first.

Sunday, October 16, 2005

Let's work it out together.

It's the camp matter that made them thinking that the club matters were interrupted by the team matters. To me, I think each side can help the other. That's why I didn't include any course during those period since I started planning.

When it sounded like "family" matter, I thought of the words in 童夢奇緣. But I 'll never wanna be the dad, haha. He's the dad, not me.

科際籃球比賽- 冠軍.
冇想像中咁激烈, but very tired.. maybe because I taught the star course in the morning.

Anyway, I had one more memorable in HKO.

Watched the Hitch tonight with my family. I think it's possible.

Friday, October 14, 2005

Rowed with 亨 tonight. (Where Fung Ying Kei has gone... he should be here tonight.)

Long haven't row double with him, last time should be in Japan Cup. After all, we 're partners, even though the feel is a bit rock at the beginning, we started to catch up the balance easily.

After mastering the skill, it's fun to row with different ppl actually. It's like after you learnt a musical instrument, you can play with other people together. It's actually a Jam session!
Is there something wrong with me today? How come I worked so efficiently? (I am not praising myself)
And I even dun feel sleepy today. I am really like a cow today, just rushed and rushed.
Maybe I saw the deadline today, but most importantly, I saw the way to go.
When I know the way to go, I 'll be confident that I will be able to finish the job. Then I will do it even faster.

So after beginning with the end in mind, gotta find the way to go. Otherwise, it's not even a hope, but only a wish to achieve that.
Usually what I hope will not happen (at least easily), but what I don't hope will probably happen. So I better dun hope too much.

AJ 14 Retro gonna be out on 24 Oct.
I like to listen to the phone-in programme of RTHK, "千禧年代", more than the one in CR 881, because sometimes the hosts described and analyzed the act of the government officials. Like today, 周融 said Tsang has transformed from a official (官) to a politician (政客), by looking at the style of his talking. He's now more controlled, while also more funny and more confident. After hearing that, i really wanna watch again the Q&A session between the Legco and him. Besides what they really talked about, there must be much more to see in their faces and their acts.

蔡子強 said Tsang: 師承彭定康 超越彭定康...

Just looking at this, can you imagine what's this?
It's related to rowing...

See here:

Before lunch, we attended a talk hosted by the Postmaster General, 蔣任光.

"Reaching out as a mean of reaching in."
"Complain as a gift"

Had lunch with Lok again.
As usual, we talked about life, relationship. We can talk about these with something new each time, cos these topics are in fact big topics. 要學, 學一世都學唔完. Maybe we can make a compilation of what we talked, and call it "與阿樂的人生十二課"

今日的重頭戲- 科際籃球比賽. 雖然傷兵滿營, 但希望可以勝出.

Get enough rest! (to all busy ppl)
曾特首 will present his first policy address tmr... (website: www.policyaddress.gov.hk)

When I was in p.5 and p.6, one of my classmates had already started to pay attention to the policy address of the governor. He would go to get a copy. He asked me if I wanted one copy also, I said yes, then he got one for me also. Totally I got copies of the policy address of two years. At that moment, I only knew there might be changes in the tax rate, but I dunno how much it affected the taxpayers (my parents). Now that I am a taxpayer, it started to concern me.

Besides tax, policy on other aspects are also significant. Let's have a look tmr.
馳車天地
Quite enjoy driving. Drove to Tseung Kwan O to visit my grandpa in the old-age home, driving back home is quite enjoyable. After paying the tunnel fee at Lam Tin, it is a non-stop driving, until it comes to the Kennedy Town. 揸車要講順勢; 順勢加油, 順勢轉彎, 順勢過線. I enjoyed driving maybe because of this. I enjoyed rowing maybe also because of this: 順勢.

能夠順勢, 做好事都可以得心應手, 事半功倍. 所以勢真是好緊要. 冇勢當然就要造勢, 但情況就會有點似逆水行舟.

Monday, October 10, 2005

Just remembered that I have to submit the original of the documents to the police dept today!

But I forgot to bring, shit.

Gotta go back home and get them...

This is really a life-and-death matter... how come I 'd forget...

maybe my mind is occupied by something, or many things these days..

I like the weather today, it's really autumn.

我喜歡秋天是因為它令我可以用盡每吸的一口氣..( 雖然它間中也給我淒涼的感覺...haha)





This is quite a touching movie. The two kids are cute...

Saturday, October 08, 2005

終於做左全日最期待的事, 今天就好似為這而活. 老實講, 我真是很久沒有這麼期待過...

雖然出了一點意外, 但我會當係對我的一種考驗. 能通過這次考驗,對人生一定有莫大益處.

我覺得以往我就是受不了這種考驗, 所以給人不好的印象... 希望我今次算是合格吧.

Btw, when taking the MTR train towards HK, I saw a girl dressing like going to bar or club, I really wondered if she's going to Wan Chai also. In fact, she really got off at Wan Chai station! But nothing special, getting off there doesn't mean she would be going there...

Friday, October 07, 2005

Played basketball with the colleagues tonight. Quite enjoy playing tonight. I hope I can help my branch to get into the final of the inter-branch competition. Shit... I wore AJXI to play tonight, though it felt great to play with it, but after ward I found that my toes are wounded... I think I can only wear it to play only with a thicker socks...

While waiting for bus back home... I was thinking I could play well with them cos I am still in 30, while most of them are 30 or something. But soon I realized there's something wrong of what I thought in mind! How come I am in 30 now? I am still 27. There 're still two more years to go, how come I think myself being in 30?

Suddenly... I realized something- that somehow I set a deadline for myself, that's 30. Actually the word 死線 keep in my mind. Please note that it's in Chinese rather than English. Maybe I remembered this word from a blog article,
" 對啊,知道何時是死線就可以好好計劃一下人生.
只是,我們跟本沒有機會去
知..."
Actually I do think we don't know when is our deadline (frankly, I think if it's in Chinese, 死期 maybe a better word than
死線, haha, more powerful, and stronger), but we can set a deadlline for ourselves. That's what I did unconsciously, setting 30 as a deadline... to achieve something.
I think I always need to have something to prove, no matter to others or to myself, in order to keep myself motivated.

That's why I 'd like to think (or put) myself in negative situation, such that I will try to change the negative to positive. This can be an advantage or an disadvantage. Not to mention the advantage, the disadvantage is that if I can be cheated...ha
Oops, gotta catch up with what's going on in Google..
When seeing this page, I am so surprised (maybe i am too late) to know there 're so many services provided by Google.

Another technology needed to be focus on: AJAX (Asynchronous Javascript and XML). Google made use of this technology in its Google Earth.

Here is an explanation of AJAX.

Suddenly have the mood of collecting things again... maybe because i got the gratuity. But actually half of my gratuity will go to the Revenue Dept, ... cos i have to pay tax...

But anyway, I suddenly have this intention. The target is Eason's previous albums. By listening to some of his songs, I will remember some past days. Maybe I would say, those songs are the keys to unlock some of my memory.

Also, I wanna wrap up some of my shoes, which I won't wear on the street. Though those are sports shoes, it's just too big deal to wear them on the street...

Found a way of protecting the shoes in hk-kicks.com- Link

Checking my bank account this morning, I finally got my salary, haha! Also, I got my gratuity for my previous contract. Getting my gratuity means I got13 months of salary for one year of work. That's great...

Mm... I 'm looking forward to the arrival of my Air Jordan 3...

Quite enjoyed when watching the Austin Power together with my two brothers. (My little brother said he was to 溫戲... actually he just wanted to remember the scripts). I could keep laughing when hearing the guy saying "One Million Dollars" instead of "One Hundred Million Dollars"... And even me, I can remember certain scripts now.
A: Seems the big boy is coming back.
B: O in fact, he never left us. It's still providing high quality meal at competitive price.
A: Shut up!

This is one of the 笑位 these days, I think I can laugh at anytime when recalling this. Another 笑位 is... "生力岩晒我地!"

感到無能為力...
I 'd feel sorry for I cannot make it be friend, but enemy.
Had lunch with TWW... we talked about relationship matter. He said he was a bit surprised when I started a relationship two years ago. Maybe at that time, he had already realized something. Maybe if we meet each other in the team last year, or this year, I won't have that. So it maybe due to the environment...

What he said is quite inspiring... 融合. I agree with this. What's more I think of this word, Synergize, 協同. 兩個人一定要有一些不同之處, 而大家都會欣賞大家不同既地方.

Took a leave today for the interview, i think it's worthwhile.

When gathering the documents, i thought I lost my HKCEE and HKALE certificates! Luckily I found at the bottom of the drawer. The certs are put together with some other documents in a file, which I used when going for the interview in HKO. So.. it meant that I haven't been going for a job interview for two years.

Thinking about the questions that would be asked in the morning, then after having lunch, had a shower before going out. Everything is fine, and feeling comfortable. Only while waiting outside the interview room, I felt a little bit nervous, but after a while, I nearly fell asleep! Waiting for 20 mins...

Then when talking to the interviewers, I started to get back my confidence. I thought of myself being a salesman, selling a product- me... Of course, I won't do hard-sell. Just wanted to tell them that over these years, what I did is meaningful, and that I could do it effectively. I don't mind being challenged. I still remembered two years ago I went to have interview for ICAC post, I was being challenged by a few questions, then the interviewer said " Mr Wong, are you losing your confidence? Why don't you speak up?" I won't let myself being in this kind of situation again.

Long haven't been dressing in a suit. Actually I like to wear suit (except that in hot summer). When being in certain moments, I feel dressing in suit is a kind of respect to others, and it's my pleasure to respect them. Even though there are many others wearing suits on the street, which made every body looking similar, I still like to wear suits.

Regatta 4... it's time for them to harvest. For those who got reward today, good job! For those who hadn't, keep going, you will be the one next time!

Bad temper... am I really that bad? I think it depends on whom I talk to. I just wanna treat every body equal, but still I cannot. I am looking for a fair ground situation. I dun wanna say that I am not responsible for my bad temper, but remember interaction is a more-than-one-party matter. Anyone involved is responsible.

Had a drink last night.
Just woke up... if someone unknown hasn't call me, I will continue to sleep.

Feeling a bit dizzy right now, I think I feel tired because of rowing lastnight, more than being affected by the alcohol.

There's fun, while there's something really inspiring, touching.
