还剩下两天...

就等着一起JUMP! 离开地球表面~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

最靠近的天堂10

在薛鸣关的骨灰坛前, 许伊婷静默地站着.
她的黑眼圈有点深, 虽然如此, 素颜的她却依然美丽.

只是这层美丽裹着一抹淡淡的哀伤.
她从没想过要将心爱的人推入火化场是如此惊心动魄,
却又刻骨铭心的.

如今一切只剩下这一坛灰烬.
上面有他的照片,他最爱的自己的照片.
照片上的他笑得很灿烂,仿佛所有病痛都离得他远远的.

黑色洋装上仍有几处未干的泪痕,
许伊婷整了整自己的装束后, 回身准备离开.

"嘿,你准备走啦."
林立雄正从正门进来.
"嗯, 我想去看看关的父母,他们已经先回去了."
"哦, 你等我一下好吗,我载你去,我只想和阿关说几句话."
"嗯,那我在外面等你,我需要呼吸一下新鲜空气."

许伊婷对烟过敏, 庙里的烟火时常让她觉得吃不消.
她并不打算站在那里听林立雄说话.

林立雄将一束鲜花插在薛鸣关的骨灰坛旁边.
俯下身,眼带眼泪的说:
"阿关,你真的很傻. 我会帮你好好照顾伊婷的,这是我对你的承诺."


庙外空气一片清新,是下过雨后的关系.
一束阳光从厚厚的云层中射出, 打在许伊婷脸上.
"我要好好过."

The 5 things I discovered about Singaporean guys

They are indeed different from us Malaysians..

5) They converse in Hokkien
According to what I know from the others, guys from Singapore will anyhow learn to speak Hokkien during their NS (National Service) period. In Malaysia, we do not have NS (well, now we have, but I think you will be forced to learn Malay instead of Hokkien), that is why you normally see people speaking Hokkien (still majority of JB people are Hokkien), Cantonese, Hakka, Hainanese...

4) Their topics, when within a group, will always be related to NS
From past experience, when a group of Singaporean guys begin chit-chatting, for some reasons, it will always turn up to be NS-related, regardless of whether there are other ladies or foreigners in the group. One comment I wish to make is that, they like to tell jokes that I personally do not find it funny at all, perhaps I lack the experience.

3) They are relatively immature if compared to Malaysian guys
Put it this way, I do not know many friends that lives in Malaysia, most of my friends and colleagues from Malaysia now works in Singapore, and most of them are very matured in their thinking and had full plans for the future. For those that are not very highly educated (SPM/O'levels), they have plans to further their studies part-time. For those who have been earning a substantial amount for living, they tend to plan for investments -- Not something I see on Singaporean guys in their 20's. I believe this is due to the need of independence from Malaysians working in Singapore -- you are working in other people's country, and you are on your own.

2) They really talk, a lot
I'm not sure if I talk a lot as well, but sometimes they talk so much that you really felt like telling them to stop talking and return you your peaceful time. This is especially true when there are girls around -- So, we must talk a lot to impress huh?

1) Their English is always better than ours
Many people can't tell the difference between a Singaporean and a Malaysian. In this case, judge based on their English standards. You see mine, so koyak, then you know I'm Malaysian liao. :) Also, Singaporean guys like to use chim-chim words, I would liked to use, but I don't know any -.-

热啊!!!~~~~~~

不懂这是什么鬼天气来的,
最近只要一离开有冷气的房间,
汗就会豆大豆大的流下来~~~

天空明明布满乌云,
空气却是静止的闷;

然后轰隆了几声便不了了之.

才要进入干季,便如此了不得.
今年是否又将创记录的热呢?

好恐怖啊.

Got my new phone

As mentioned earlier, I finally got hold of my new dream phone, K810i!~~~

You will need to use it to believe it, even PY was very impressed with it also, it is so much more nicer than k750i (my previous phone, though I've used to using it, and really can't bear to part with it >_<), and PY's W800i :D

Woohoo!~~~ Empty phone set 640...

640, less 2 years plan upgrade 180,
460, less 100 M1 discount voucher,
360, less k750i trade in 150 --->
$210, not bad considering I get a free SE bluetooth to come with it :D

Another funny conversation -_-

昨天晚上PY和我在聊天...

我: 鲸鱼是不会游到赤道区的,它们都是在北回归线和南回归线附近活动的.
PY:不~~~是~~~~啦~~~~澳洲那里不是有鲸鱼出没的吗?
我:(三条斜线) *打开地图*看,澳洲这里就是南回归线啦...
如果你想有鲸鱼出现在新加坡的话,就要它可以想办法游过印尼先.
PY:不~~~是~~~~啦~~~~你懂不懂我为什么那么肯定鲸鱼会出现在新加坡?
我:(无奈)为什么?说来听听看.
PY: 因为新加坡是自~~~由~~~港~~~嘛,鲸鱼可以自由进出.哇哈哈哈哈哈...
我: Buang
PY: 我发明的欠扁问答题~
我: 很好笑咯T__T


*结果PY自己笑了10分钟,她终于知道为什么每次我发明了一个冷笑话会自己笑不停,虽然别人不觉得好笑 _-_

Funny Conversation

我有个朋友叫Steven,我和PY有天谈到了他,结果我想考一考PY,看她醒目不醒目.

我: Eh, 你知道吗? Steven 他有洋名的耶.
PY: 真的吗?叫什么?好听的吗?
*我笑到不行...*
PY: 你做么笑到酱?
*还在笑...*
PY: (忽然惊醒)啊!~~~~~对喔,Steven的洋名就是Steven喔..

最靠近的天堂9

"阿关!刚才的考试你觉得怎样?" 林立雄走在薛鸣关旁边,抬着头看他.
薛鸣关长得很高,大概比林立雄高了十五公分,
但由于身体较容易觉得疲累,所以薛鸣关在求学生涯中,
并没有机会好好利用自己的身高在各种体育活动上,
这也造就了他非凡的学术能力.

"哦,还好吧,不会很难." 薛鸣关回答道.
"是吗?~~ 我看我应该会被当掉了,前几天一直忙着打电动,
都没时间好好读书." 林立雄无奈道.

林立雄不喜欢读书,唯一的嗜好就是坐在电脑前玩线上游戏.
他也很喜欢自己写写程式.
总之,和电脑有关的一切事情他都有兴趣就是了.

"你还有脸说出来,人家都是因为读书没时间玩电脑,
你倒是因为玩电脑而没时间读书." 薛鸣关没好气地说.

"哎呀,人生不就那几时十年吗,在有生之年我们就应该做自己喜欢做的事啊!"
林立雄理所当然地说.

这时候一个女生从他们俩身边走过, 大大的眼睛与清纯的浏海头,
是那种走在路上你也会多看几眼的美少女.

"薛鸣关!~~~~~~~~~~" 那女的大叫道.
薛鸣关转头看着那女的,疑惑地道, "许伊婷,什么事啊?"
"你..." 她开始紧张.

"阿关,我要先回家了,今天开始可以好好地玩我的电动啦!再见!"
林立雄识相地找机会离开.

"哦,再见啦."


走廊上就只剩下许伊婷和薛鸣关.
"你...今天有空吗?"
"啊,什么事?"
"我想说考完试了,大家轻松一下,出去走走好不好?"
"就我和你?"
"啊..怎么啦,不行吗?"
"你是在约我吗?"
"啊!~~~~~你怎么能那么说,我可是淑女耶,淑女是不会主动约人的."
"那你干嘛叫我出去啊?"
"我....我就是想找个人陪嘛,不行吗?"
"就是想约我出来陪你吗?"
"我....我才没有啦!算了,不和你说了,我找别人去."

... 满脸通红的许伊婷眼角泛泪,
转身离去.她很恨自己鼓起勇气的告白,
下场竟然会是如此.

"等等."
许伊婷停下脚步.转过身来,薛鸣关已经追着上来了.
"我不要你约我,因为你是淑女,淑女就应该让男生来约嘛,好吗?"
"你是什么意思?"
"我想约你,我们今天晚上去看电影好不好?"
"啊?"
"怎么,不肯赏脸吗?看电影前我带你去吃好吃的意大利料理好不好?"
"啊?"
"你怎么啦?就我们两个人哦..."
"啊?"
"喂...你怎么啦?"
"啊... 我以为我在作梦."

"傻丫头, 你到底肯不肯和我约会呀." 薛鸣关伸手拨弄许伊婷的头发,
许伊婷忽然觉得心跳加速,眼冒金星.
"啊?"


下一秒钟,薛鸣关已轻轻地将许伊婷拥在怀里,
在她耳边小声耳语:
"我喜欢你,你也喜欢我的,对不?"

天旋地转,心跳大声得连自己都听得见.
许伊婷不敢相信这是现实,她朝思暮想的白马王子竟然也喜欢自己.
或许这是她二十年来最感动的一天.


躲在远处的林立雄,无奈地看着眼前发生的一切 --
自己所爱的人, 不爱自己.

It's official -- Toyota Vios :D

After many hours of negotiating and test driving, we have finally decide to go for Toyota Vios!~ It is still a bit over our budget, but nevertheless very satisfying :D

I mean, this is the first time we're going to own a car of our own..

The car was quite good, spacious for me, and a lot nicer than the Proton Kenari I used to drive back in Malaysia.. :D

Hope we can get the car soon.. :D should be within 6 weeks ba!~~~~

最靠近的天堂8

门铃响起,许伊婷披上外套起身开门.
门外站着一位约莫六尺高的男人,
短短的金发和很深的轮廓, 单眼皮很容易让人误会他是日本人,
虽然他是道道地地的华人.

"林立雄, 你那么快就来啦." 许伊婷似乎认识这个男人.
"嗯,我刚好在附近办事,接到你的电话就直接过来了." 那男人说道,
嗓音出奇地干净清亮却又不失温柔细致.

"嗯,是关的电脑," 许伊婷尽量让自己的声音显得平静,
这几天来,每当薛鸣关的名字从她口中说出的时候,
她总是痛得好像有把刀在她心上又划开一道新的伤口.
"我想把他的文件处理一下,还要通知他的联络簿上的朋友..."
她已经没有办法继续说下去.

林立雄趋前给了许伊婷一个强有力的拥抱,
这让许伊婷很意外,她并不习惯抱着薛鸣关以外的男人,
但是林立雄的拥抱却不让她感到抗拒 --
她反而觉得安心 -- 或许此刻她需要的是一个坚强的人来保护她,
或许,她需要的是一个可以显示她脆弱的情绪的管道.

"我知道你很难过,不用勉强自己振作起来,
振作起来是好事,但阿关是我们俩都很亲近的爱人朋友,
我知道你的感受."

"嗯" 许伊婷心情稍为平复了一点.
"可是关的电脑加了密码,我没办法进去,
我想到你是个电脑专才,你可以帮帮我吗?"

林立雄看着许伊婷,眼神中夹杂着复杂又浓郁的悲哀,
"嗯,没问题,他的电脑在哪里?"

许伊婷带着林立雄来到书房,电脑还开着.
"你想喝些什么?我给你倒来." 许伊婷询问道.
"嗯,红茶好了,不要糖." 林立雄看着电脑,头也不回地道.
"十多年来你还是一点也没变." 许伊婷笑了,这几天来的第一次.
"有些习惯是一辈子也改不了的."林立雄抬起头来,看着许伊婷说.

许伊婷转身准备倒茶去,待林立雄确定了她已经不在视线范围内了,
他便在电脑前坐下,并输入了"05061303"来作为密码.
户口旋即登入.

"果然..." 林立雄猜的果然没错.
他赶紧开始寻找一些会让他担心的资料,
他必须在许伊婷回来前将它们处理掉 --
最好的方法,就是将他们拷出来,并彻底地从薛鸣关的电脑中给删除掉.
对于林立雄来说,这再简单不过 --
他知道许伊婷对于泡茶的执着 -- 她为了要可以泡好茶,
会花上五到十分钟来过滤茶叶,烧好温度适中的开水, 等等..
因为红茶也是薛鸣关生前最喜欢喝的.

电脑荧光屏上显示出薛鸣关的工作文件夹,
林立雄熟练的翻找,终于在一个不起眼的文件夹中找到了他要的东西.
"这小子真是大胆,"林立雄想道.
"伊婷她不能再受到打击了."林立雄拿出自己的便携式硬盘,
插上电脑后,开始将资料拷到他的硬盘中.

Spiderman 3

片名: 蜘蛛侠3 Spiderman 3
导演: Sam Raimi
演员: Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco

今年是名副其实的"续集"年, 除了早前看过的"死亡笔记2"之外, 最近就看了这部蜘蛛侠系列里的第三集作品. 接下来就还有Pirates of the Carribean 3, Shrek 3, Harry Potter 5 等...

我想说的是,拍续集从来都是吃力又未必讨好的. 领教过Pirates of the Carribean 2 的敷衍塞责, 对于Spiderman 3,一开始其实并没有给予太大的希望.

直到我看到传说中的黑蜘蛛侠的造型,方惊为天人 -- 酷眩极了.

然而,电影并没有办法延续这种惊喜,这或多活少和我期望的有所差别.

电影很热闹,220分钟的感官刺激和导演惊人的拍摄手法(运镜之行云流水又自然融入特效,这一点值得满分), 至少不会让你觉得闷. 然而,不觉得闷不代表不会纳闷.

纳闷如此巨大的仇恨竟然会烟消云散; 纳闷如此颠覆人性让蜘蛛侠使坏究竟是反映现实还是让梦想幻灭; 纳闷故事中这许多的生命与生命在撞击中为什么竟是如此肤浅地以一句"我原谅你"作结尾... 太多太多的纳闷,让人看了容易迷失方向.

电影企图说的太多,归根咎底是因为人性的复杂与脆弱. 所以我比较喜欢看Superman Returns, 至少善恶分明, 能够让人寄托梦想又不至于狠狠将你栽下 -- 和蜘蛛侠的苦尽甘来却迷失自我完全不一样.

还好电影还有Kirsten Dunst, 从Jumanji 里就觉得她的美丽将是经典(那年她只有13岁), 如今虽然在戏里超龄演出(谁不是?看看Tobey Maguire还在演大学生)却依旧让人迷眩.

还有, 整个黑色不明物体,给我的感觉是雷声大雨点小. 如果故事结尾所发现的黑色物体的弱点属实,那它应该早就无法在处处噪音的美国城市里生存了.



阿木给分: ＊＊＊／（３　１／２）

Guys are... guys 2 ^o^

Another conversation took place while we were dining..

Me: VT, my coursemates: Desmond, Tommy, my trainer: J.


J: *Looks at Tommy* So, are you married?
Tommy: *Almost choked* Do I look that old? I am only 24 leh.
J: *Embarrass* Whooooooooaaaaaaaaa I'm sorry about that
Tommy: Its ok, everybody says I looked wayyyyy matured.

*For those that have no idea how Tommy looks like, picture Eric Lim at a fatter version*

VT: You ok liao la, I born in 1981, but on a few occassions, when I took cab, the driver will ask me how many kids I have leh.
Desmond: Wahpiang! So jialat ah..
VT: Yalor T__T
J: Guys, you will need to control your temper under such circumstances!~ I mean, NEVER LET others know how old you are~ Like me, you can't tell that I've been working in Singapore for 6 years, went back to Manilla for 7 years, and now back to Singapore for another 1 and a half years...
Tommy: You just exposed your age -.-
J: OH GOSH! But I think its ok, just remember, don't let the beautiful ladies know how old are you.. What were we talking about just now? Oh ya, Tommy, so do you have a girlfriend?
Tommy: Ah yes..
J: Cool! But you don't intend to get married yet?
Tommy: I still so young, don't want la..
J: That's right! I mean~ don't get committed so early.. you know, when guys get till 30-32 years old, they will begin to have some assets..
Desmond: You mean money?
J: Well, yeah.. Money, status, and the charisma where...
VT: Where what?
J: Oh boy God, I'm committing another sin, forgive me God, .. where you will get to date many pretty ladies, then you will be presented with better choices~
Tommy: Sir you sure seem to be experienced
J: *Laughs* Philipines ladies are exquisite... Singapore ladies too... and you know, I have been to Jakarta for 6 months, the ladies there are... Oh my god, I am a sinner, they are so feminine...



Conclusion: Our trainer is a big color wolf ^o^

Guys are... guys -_-

Observe the below conversation --

Scenario: Our trainer was taking us to some restaurant for lunch, he met with another guy at the lift lobby.

Trainer: J, Trainer's friend: G.

J: Hey G! How are you?
G: J! You're back, how's Philipines?
J: Well, I started missing my son and wife the moment I stepped on Singapore's soil..
G: Ah, how sweet, do you plan to bring them over?
J: Ah yes! I will be applying for them to come over to Singapore once my PR gets approved. By the way, G, these guys are my trainees (points to us), and guys, this is my good friend G, he's from Greece.
G: Oh hi!~ (After some formal introductions... they went back to their conversation, and we're now in the lift)
...
G: So J, how do you find Singapore thus far?
J: Beautiful! Courteous people, very clean streets, punctual public transports... and ya... beautiful ladies! Especially on the MRT~
G: Oh boy, you'd better don't let your wife knows about this~
J: Nah, I won't be able to look at any of the beautiful ladies when she's around, my eyes will always focus on her..
G: That's cruel! You know~ I have been married for 17 years, I have now the permissions to look at beautiful ladies~
J: Thats cool, I've only got married two years ago.
G: You got to wait for another 13 years then..
J: So, I'll be able to look at beautiful ladies after 15 years of marriage?
G: Well, its just that 15 years later you don't bother how your wife reacts already!
J: Ah hahaha.. Oh God, I committed a sin, forgive me God.
G: Ok then, see ya! Have a nice day my friends!


-_-

Objective Set!~

The fifth program that I plan to do during the year has been confirmed... it will be a Blog Engine running under the .Net Framework 2.0!~~~~~


Not sure if its going to work, but I'm tired of needing to search the web for Blog Engines under .net 2.0 and can't find anything free -.-

Hasn't been in the nicest mode to blog... the Blogger has drive me nuts recently... the editor for new post is not behaving like it should be... weird formatting + weird panel... .something is obviously wrong, and I can't actually edit my posts! -_-


Ok... been to the Microsoft Certified course on Core Data Access today, it was easy -- because today's supposed to be an introductory to the new ADO.NET framework, nothing much was different if compared to the one on framework 1.1...

However, my advice to you all out there is that DO NOT attempt to take any Microsoft Certified course on Visual Studio 2005 if you do not have any prior experience in programming in .net...

There were 5 guys on my class, 2 of them from NTU (they are students, but I do not know where the hell did they have the money to attend such courses), where they do not have programming experience in .net, and they quarrelled with the trainer (who obviously stated that "the course assumes that you have experience in data access, it treats as an upgrade to the new framework, we will not be teaching you beginner's stuff") because "we want to see those drag and drop stuff, i don't want to see these coding stuffs".

To me, the kids obviously came to the wrong place, why on earth does Microsoft certifies them for dragging and dropping data components onto a webpage without writing a single line of code?


That is something I will never understand, why kids nowadays do not know how to appreciate learning opportunities? I've had enormous fun today, as I am not in a pressurized state of mind to learn new things for the sake of new projects, I got to learn things at my own pace and explore the potential usage of new features -- with the help of a qualified trainer that always tell me the standard way of coding -- THAT IS FUNDAMENTAL isn't it?

I mean, we should KNOW how to code before we begin doing those "drag-and-drop" stuffs, isn't it?

PY 与我 (驾车篇)

我必须承认我这个人很迷糊,
虽然大部分时候我都装得一副很精明的样子.

我是那种在路上即使迷路了也要装作知道自己要往什么方向走的人,
这一点,和我老爸100%相同.
所谓虎父无犬子,我当然也继承了我老爸这一毛病.

不过这次要说的,不是关于迷路的故事,而是关于迷糊的故事.

话说有一次,PY的堂妹结婚 (就那么巧,是我高中时期的同班同学),
我就负责做司机载送她和她家人赴宴.
从家里出发的时候, 我仔细地检查过所有东西,
我的衣着没有问题,头发没有问题.
车子装满了油,轮胎也有风...

一切安好,出发往PY家!

来到PY家门口,比预定时间早5分钟,这是我的习惯,
在可能的情况下,不要迟到 -- 不然会被骂.

正当准备下车的时候,我忽然一惊!
我的鞋子咧?


原来那时候的我,因为驾车经验尚浅,所以通常都是脱了鞋在驾车的,
所以我是到了PY的家门口准备穿鞋下车的时候才发现 -.-
原来我忘了穿鞋出门!~~~~~~~

没办法,只好硬着头皮打电话给PY, 结果是她的妈妈拿了一双旧皮鞋出来给我穿..

当然,我因为这件事,足足被笑了三年...
全家上下都知道我的厉害了T__T


如果你以为这种事只会发生一次,那你就错了,
因为我后来有一次和PY出去吃饭的时候,竟然又忘了穿鞋T__T

结果她必须帮我去买一双鞋才可以...
经过这次事件以后,我就努力学习穿着鞋子驾车..
好不容易现在都不会有这种问题了T__T

真不好意思>_<

Got my temp license finally!~~

Took a day's leave, went back JB and requested to cancel my driving license, so that I can convert my driving license to an SG license...

Well, the weather was damn hot, the queue was damn long, and the journey back was full of sweats and heat -_-

BUT I FINALLY PULLED THROUGH, wahahahaha

well, at least i'm able to drive with the temp license, not too bad at all, can go look out for new car liao!!!

My new dream phone

Ok, enough saying about SE W950i, I gave it up totally as it does not come with a camera function. (All all this year I've been wanting a SE W950i, and I didn't notice it has no camera till 2 months back).

And so, I went on with w850i, but I didn't have much feelings about it also... I would have bought it if not for this phone -- K810i :D

But seems not out at M1 shops yet... must wait lor :D

IRHM! :D

Just in case you do not know what that meant -- It means "I Really Hate Mondays" :D

I was so motivated to come back office and clear out my workload, and yet I failed to sleep again -- I was sound asleep by 1 am, yet PY woke me up because she had the same sleeping problem I had, so I accompany her to talk a while, and she fell asleep while talking -_-, that left me alone, and when I tried to resume my sleep, I failed! >_<

I was only able to sleep around 4:30 am, and woke up 7:30 am this morning =_=, damn stoned T__T

Anyway, at least I'm not the only one that hates Mondays :D Everybody seems to have something to buay-song about Mondays! :D That made me felt better sia

失眠啊

最近应该是因为上个星期劳动节放了五天假,
每天都快天亮了才睡,然后又很迟才起来,
所以一要回去上班就很痛苦.

痛苦也就罢啦,现在连周末我也是不懂要如何调适...
早早睡,早早起,脑袋一片混乱又模糊.
不知道要做什么.
就赖在沙发上到现在.
哈哈.

Phew...

I went to register myself for the Basic Theory Test (a prerequisite for me convert my MalaysianDriving License into a Singapore Driving License) yesterday at AMK's SSDC, the rain was big... the shock I received was even bigger >_<

The counter lady told me in a very unfriendly tone (call it impatient if you like, I don't know why are there always people that despises foreigners, the previous guy that she attended is a Singaporean, and she was very polite): "The earliest date available is two months later, not changeable!".

So I chose a test date -- 6-July-2007. According to my plan earlier, I expect to be driving during that time already >_<

I remembered that we are able to change the test date as long as somebody cancelled an earlier test date... all online. So I went back and checked... wahaha! 29th June -- good!

I immediately changed my test date from 6-July to 29-June... but the process was very... risky. You would need to cancel your current test date (ie. giving up that slot of yours) before engaging in another time slot... WHAT IF somebody else took up that time slot a fraction second earlier than me? T__T

Luckily I got that time slot... and when I was home after dinner, I checked again (around 8pm), woohoo! 6-June~~~ Again I took the risk to cancel my test and re-register :D

At 12 am midnight, I logon to check again, and ^o^ 8-May!~~~ Which is next Tuesday, I was so happy that I'm able to take the test next week, which is almost 2 months earlier than the counter lady's comment of "Not changeable!" :D

And now, I will officially sit for the BTT next Tuesday morning, 9:15 a.m. T__T Hallelujah!~ I aim to pass in one attempt ah!~~ Huat ah!~

部落格 -- 潮流产物还是一种文化?

我想写的东西其实没有如标题那样严肃,
纯粹只是一种有感而发的念头而已.

开始写部落格,原本想做的就是提供自己另外一种写作的管道.
于是我从几年前(两年多前吧)所开始写的部落格,
内容完全是以散文与小说为主.

后来发现,其实自己更需要一些抒发情绪的地方,
于是部落格(对于我而言)又有了新的意义 --
一个在网上记录自己生活点滴的地方.

这期间,部落格变得很流行.
几乎人手一个 -- 因为设立部落格不需要费用,不去管它更不用负责...

"流行",所以大家都要跟风写部落格...
有段时间我还真的很乐此不疲,因为每天都可以上朋友的部落格读文章.
可惜啊,好日子不久矣~

现在回看起来,有人的部落格一年多来都没有再发新帖,
有的人索性把部落格给删除掉..

当初的一片欣欣向荣,衬托如今的萧条荒芜,
当真讽刺.

"全球有6亿个部落格,可是会持之以恒写下去的又有多少人?"
好像是在阿不的部落格上看到的.
哈哈,至少我还在写.

回到公司上班的日子

千百个不愿意啊,
奈何... 再不来赶工的话就休想全身而退>_<

今天无论如何逼了自己起个大早,
假,如果再放下去就会变成一种惰性.
人类的惰性是很可怕的,我尝试过两个月不工作的怠惰,
简直如毒品般死缠着你..

还好,这一次只是五天的假,而且这一次回来,
感觉有很多想法在脑袋里,要付诸实行,结果可能还会不错.

加油啦!~~~~

Recap: Programs written

On new year's day I made a Plan 2007 that stated I would write at least 5 applications during this year... here is a recap of what I have done thus far:


1) Typing Tutor Admin Module
Now its possible to generate XML files for the Typing Tutor program. However, I have yet to begin implementing the Typing Tutor program -_-, I had done this once in VB6, and would like to try out the new features in VS2005 :D

2) PiczHunt (Formerly known as PhotoMatch) Admin Module
The admin module for PiczHunt is ready, and I am currently using it to generate puzzles for the PiczHunt application. Why call PiczHunt? Because PhotoMatch seemed to be a trademark taken up by some photographers website -_-

3) PiczHunt Game
The application is still under beta testing, but seemed fine to be completed before the year ends.

4) BizFantast Puzzle Portal
A new portal for BizFantast, at http://www.bizfantast.com/puzzleportal. Players are now able to create their own puzzles :D

最靠近的天堂7

许伊婷肘靠着书桌, 困惑地望着电脑荧光屏.
自从薛鸣关病重以来便再没有打开的电脑,
有着两人普通的电脑帐号.

许伊婷从来没有登入薛鸣关的户口 --
那是两人之间的默契 --
亲密如两人仍然需要有各自的空间,
所以即使小如电脑的登入户口, 他们仍很有默契地选择分开使用.

这是许伊婷第一次企图登入她丈夫生前使用的户口.
然而,她却呆着了.

她从没想过薛鸣关竟然会在他的电脑户口上加密.

"为什么要加密?"
她随手试了几组密码,不外是两人的生日或名字缩写,
但是都没能成功.


许伊婷没有办法抑制自己的好奇心, 她原本是想要登入薛鸣关的户口,
并找出他生前的朋友好通知他们他的死讯.
然而许伊婷现在想着的并不是这些东西,
她只想知道薛鸣关究竟为了什么要把户口锁起来?

要找出薛鸣关的密码,对许伊婷来说是不可能的,
所以,她决定要找人帮忙.

Something new learnt

I was trying out the photoshop tutorials available on the Internet, and I was damn impressed on how creative they can be :D

I learnt how to make photos into pencil sketches, nice huh? (Click on the image to see the larger version, which is clearer :D)
