在部門午餐的那篇我沒記下我買了甚麼當禮物去抽獎,那就順便在這邊寫吧.為甚麼?因為柏送給我的,剛好就是我買去抽獎的!
我問柏禮物是甚麼,柏說:「是很無聊,但...」那時候,我就已經猜到花紙包著的也是poika!因為我也是這樣介紹我的禮物!果然英雌所見略同.不同的是,我送的是淺黃色的蠟燭,橘子色的頭;而收到的呢,是白色的蠟燭,紅色的頭.不過無論是甚麼顏色,他們都一樣可愛!
柏,謝謝!

Wow, it's only Friday night 11.15pm! People are sure now better at forward planning.
And, out of curiosity, I checked the next show (12.xx pm, Sunday):
Well, with the difference of $30, I suppose this is not so surprising after all.

Do I love Paris? I'm by no means a big fans of Paris. But I have to admit that I have not seen enough to comment. I've seen dog poos all over the streets, even on Rue St. Honore. I've seen big beautiful houses/apartments, with huge windows on the front. I've met old French man who walked straight past us when we tried to ask for direction in English. I've seen the biggest crowd ever in a museum, queueing up to see a painting which is shielded behind a glass case. I've seen the biggest herd of Japanese tourists, scurrying over here and there, with a tour book in one hand and numerous Chanel, Gucci, LV, Celine... paper bags in the other. I've seen the clouds as Johan-Barthold Jongkind has painted in his The Seine and Notre-Dame of Paris. I've been to the Chinatown where it has the best Wen Zhou fish and shrimp balls soup and Vietnamese (!) beef noodles I've ever had (well, actually there's another one in D.C., but I have no idea where the shop is)......
But, I haven't seen the artistic Paris where the artists have gathered around to show off their talents. I haven't lined up to go to the top of Notre Dame. I haven't spent enough time, sitting in any of the gardens, to imagine what it would be like to be a Parisian, now and in the past.....
Is it a city of love? Did I feel love is all around? Not really, seriously. If you move to the more realistic part of the city, you'll see that romance might have been a collective imaginationary product. But then, when everyone was standing on Champs-Elysees, counting down to the first second of new year, kisses, hugs, and (maybe?) love are definitely all around. (Well, I was just a little skeptical... how many of the crowd was a local Parisian??)
Nonetheless, it's an enchanting city. It'll make you think of it once in a while, and even to the extent that you want to fly back right away.
I miss Paris. So, Paris, Je t'aime, I'm definitely going to see it.
Well, by the look of it, it's isn't exactly exam time yet, but it'll be busy month-end reporting period. And it actually means that I have 3 months to finish reading 1984, familiarize myself with Mahler 7, and...
火場面積廣達460公頃,燒毀逾66,000棵林木。記者事後乘直升機從高空鳥瞰火場,一 片翠綠的樹木全被燒光,光禿的山頭焦土處處。漁護署會種植20萬樹苗,包括生長較快的台灣相思,估計10至20年才可恢復原貌。
政府飛行服務隊的直升機共向火場投擲200萬公升水彈,是歷來最多;消防處則出動280人次,帶山草草拍及水泵步行上山救火,部份火場在400米高處,消防員需由直升機空降。
拖延、耽擱的習慣(Procrastination).當完美主義者因為太害怕做得不夠完美而遲遲不去完成一件事時,最後只會把工作延誤堆積,增加失敗的機會.即使不直接導致失敗,亦會覺得每天總有做不完的工作.厲害!我終於找到一個非常legitimate的理由不去完成我的工作了!
其實今天的考試不難,起碼比昨天的好多了!縱使如此,有些同學還是「慷慨地」捐出講義筆記等來起爐.一邊燒筆記,一邊詛咒(昨天那科的)教授,一樂也!
在這麼好的場地(背山面海呀!!),有這麼好的夜色,當然要好好慶祝一番,安慰一下自己過去兩個月的勤勞.即使只有一天的時間休息(星期二馬上開始秋季下學期),大家還是玩得很盡興,畢竟我們都還年輕嘛!
