Daily // February 2004



February 29, 2004
Today seems really special to some of you. Nothing interesting for me, just a typical taft sunday - work, movies, work. Anyway, congratulations to Kassy's new cousin! (boy or girl?)

Spring is indeed around the corner. Weather is fine around the 50s. Suddenly remembered Dido's lyrics:

"I've always thought that I would love to live by the sea,
To travel the world alone and live more simply.
I have no idea what's happened to that dream,
Cos there's really nothing left to stop me.."
Witty conclusion to a boring sunday again?
February 28, 2004
After 4 days of boring daily and 2 days of non-daily, I guess I should really post something interesting here to make my look less dull. Wallpaper!

Hooray! Headmaster's holiday tomorrow.

Although it means that I have to work whole day for the term paper outline. Sigh..
February 23, 2004
Flipped through some of my old dailys and found that my life is always dull and boring. It seems that I am having the most boring life ever. Scary..

"The meaning of life is to find something that stops you from finding the meaning of life."
How true. That's my witty conclusion to a boring sunday.

Remember the rich kid I talked about on Jan 17th? He have actually been to 63 countries (30%). Now that is scary..

Only 17 school days before spring break. Can't wait!
February 20, 2004
Just noticed that I have only been to 13 countries (5%). Would like to visit the maldives and australia some time.

Only 21 days till spring break..

My dad confirmed that I am going with him to the cebit show in Hannover (think this is the right spelling..), Germany. Such exciting news!

As most of you probably know Sony debuted the new W1, which is said to be a simplified version of V1. It looks really interesting to me, consider the fact that it has features from V1, T1 and somehow even the P series. It inherited the V1's button alignment and its viewfinder; T1's 2.5" screen and its rectangular flashlight; and somehow P series' ring/handgrip. One good news (yes, good news) is that it doesn't come with V1's signiture features - the night shot modes and hotshoe. Anyway, looks like a pretty sleek machine.

善用你的存款
想像有一家銀行每天早上都在你的帳戶裡存入$86,400,可是每天的
帳戶餘額都不能結轉到明天,一到結算時間,銀行就會把你當日未用盡的
款項全數刪除。
這種情況下你會怎麼做?
當然,每天不留分文地全數提領是最佳選擇。
你可能不曉得,其實我們每個人都有這樣的一個銀行,她的名字是
「時間(TIME)」。
每天早上「時間銀行」總會為你在帳戶裡自動存入86,400秒;一到晚
上,她也會自動地把你當日虛擲掉的光陰全數註銷,沒有分秒可以結轉到
明天,你也不能提前預支片刻。 如果你沒能適當使用這些時間存款, 損
失掉的只有你自己會承擔。
沒有回頭重來,也不能預提明天,
你必須根據你所擁有的這些時間存款而活在現在。
你應該善加投資運用,以換取最大的健康、快樂與成功。
時間總是不停地在運轉,努力讓每個今天都有最佳收穫。
想要體會「一年」有多少價值,你可以去問一個失敗重修的學生。
想要體會「一月」有多少價值,你可以去問一個不幸早產的母親。
想要體會「一週」有多少價值,你可以去問一個定期週刊的編輯。
想要體會「一小時」有多少價值,你可以去問一對等待相聚的戀人。
想要體會「一分鐘」有多少價值,你可以去問一個錯過火車的旅人。
想要體會「一秒鐘」有多少價值,你可以去問一個死裡逃生的幸運
兒。
想要體會「一毫秒」有多少價值,你可以去問一個錯失金牌的運動
員。
請珍視你所擁有的美好時光,
特別是你可以和一些值得付出的人來分享這些時光。
別忘了....時間不等人。
昨天已成為歷史,明天則遙不可知,而今天是一個禮物,所以英文把
「現在」稱為Present, 請珍惜這份禮物。

Happy Valentine's Day!


February 13, 2004
Congratulations to K&C on her 1st Anniversary.

Got one more letter from nyu today. 4 total competing against Derek's 12. Valentine's Day tomorrow. Alone again; naturally.
February 12, 2004
Pete (my roommate): I got into college!
Me: What?
Pete: Some college accepted me. Look at this letter.
Me: What college is that?
Pete: "Saint Mary Rose"?
Me: Never heard of that.
Pete: I just checked it, it's actually a good college.
Me: I have got three of those letters, more than you.
Pete: Oh well..

In fact, I really got three. Only three while some got 9. The best one I received is probably from the university of chicago. Pretty much based on our psat result I think. Anyway, 3 isn't 'too' bad right?

My dad called a few days ago and asked if I would like to go with him the the Germany Cebit 2004 in March during spring break. What a dilemma. I thought I could stay the whole 17 days in hk with friends.

Anyway, feeling exhausted after longweekend. Still have act 1 to finish in othello and history term paper bibliography due soon. Sigh..

Finally played some tennis yesterday morning. Met three 'varsity players' and matched intensely.

Somehow feel guilty having not work for days. Hmm..
February 6, 2004
So long weekend finally started yesterday. Russell drove us to a Japanese restaurant (no idea where it is cause I slept through the drive). Food was okay. Really, just okay. Came back really late after some coffee in starbucks. Slept over in jeff's room..and found out that the ski trip, which was supposedly today, is canceled due to 'unexpected awful weather'. That's it. A boring day at school again. Probably some tennis later. Cheers.

Thank god. No quater grades for those who are doing 'okay'. Meanwhile, just leart that our yearbok costs $85. I could easily buy ten lasallians in that price.


Isn't this gadget a charm?
February 2, 2004
Quater grades are supposed to be out now although I only know my math and science grade. Both 5.0s. Pretty much all-rounded this time..unless something bad happens in history..

Wilson and I was heading for squash while we suddenly caught sight of a heart-shaped frozen pond. We looked at each other with awe, wearing an expression most people reserve for fireworks. It was pure fascinating.
