Packed my PC and stuff. Maybe over the 20Kg limit.
Get some Lavandula, wish to plant them in home.
Yet to decide the gifts for relatives and friends. Maybe it's better to let it.
Ann visited me out of suprise and gave me a red pocket. She experienced some family problemr elated to her young son's family. Wish she can recover soon and it's hard to do something to help with the problem. As this is a matter between two persons.

Country roads,take me home
(Bill Danoff/Taffy Nivert/John Denver)

Country roads,take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me home, country roads

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountain, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains
Growing like the breeze

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me home, country roads

All my memories gather round her
Mine is lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine
Teardrop in my eye

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me home, country roads

I hear her voice in the morning
Now she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me home, country roads

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me home, country roads

Take me home, country roads

Enjoy the nice trip to chesterfield. Took many photos and visit many places. Even the traveling time is quite long (1.5 hours from Hull to Chesterfield).
So tired now ... need to pack my PC and stuff tomorrow.

I'm leaving
到處留情
作詞：黃偉文　作曲：陳輝陽

十二號　漫步加州的樂園　遺失一臉幽怨
沒對你　再有留戀　十六號　沐浴九州的溫泉
遺失痴心一片　大概我　情緒快要復元

手裏　行李　送檢　再不過重　沒有懷念
自嘲　自傷　自憐　已成過期舊證件
逐點漏低掛念　直到沒法心軟

沒故意　留下底片　捕捉　幸福的片段
這張明信片　路邊一角任選
沒故意　提及辛酸　換取　陌生的掛念
不知你那張臉　留在那間酒店？

二十號　大笨鐘的陰影前
還清所有虧欠　贖過了　我那晴天
廿六號　復活島的古蹟前
留低貪嗔癡怨　或藉故　忘記帶往樂園

禱告　在聖母院　我的聖母　沒有復現
默哀　在山手線　旅途太長　夜太短
號哭　在彰化縣　害怕被你聽見

沒故意　留下底片　捕捉　幸福的片段
風光明信片　並非寫信地點
沒故意　提及辛酸　換取　陌生的掛念
P.S.再說一遍　前事已經湮遠

AI exam finished - undergraduate study finished.
Take some photo with my classmate and lecturer, I know that I won't see them again in the coming year. Or even in some case, for my entire life. I enjoy the days that we worked together for assignments, examinations and study. These experience are treasures in my life. Thanks for my lecturers and my friends.
Demonstrated the process of setup server to Ka Wai and Ka To.


告別校園時
唱：李克勤　作詞：潘源良　作曲：小栗昌彥

一天一天的我在期待放學
一轉眼卻要告別校園
一張一張的快樂同學笑臉
粉筆似的消失不再遇見
終於終於不懂得老師所講
祇知道　此刻想多聽一遍
終於終於不需要再管積分
祇恐怕　更多的考試未見

*
這校園　這班房　這走廊
這禮堂　告別時　是我心的家鄉
到未來　那一方　人飄泊路茫茫
仍然在這裡找到一點點光 *

#
OOh...　曾同遇上
今孤身走遠方　誰願這樣
OOh...　昂然踏上　雖分開走遠方
明晨能共創 #

To sir with love　　　　　　Lulu

Those schoolgirl days
of telling tales and biting nails are gone
But in my mind
I know they will still live on and on
But how do you thank someone
who has taken you from crayons to perfume?
It isn't easy but I'll try

If you wanted the sky
I would write across the sky in letters
That would soar a thousand feet high
'To Sir with love'

The time has come for closing books
and long last looks must end
And as I leave
I know that I am leaving my best friend
A friend who taught me
right from wrong and weak from strong
That's a lot to learn
but what can I give you in return?

If you wanted the moon
I would try to make a start
But I would rather you let me give my heart
'To Sir with love'

Accident could happen - today step on a slug next to my pc, so horrible.
AI revision again - final stage.
Visited a friend's home in Beverley, enjoy a nice dinner with them. Somehow, I don't have much chance to have dinner with them in the coming year. Become the computer technician again - virus scan, patch/device installation, language setting, fine tune, etc.
My friend's relative guest that Ka To is the eldest son, followed by Ka Wai and I'm the youngest one among three brothers. So suprise about it - she said that because of Ka To is well-built (fat) with compare to us.

Do you remember the night we walked hand in hand and sang that song for my departure three years ago?
Today　　
詞： 周禮茂　唱：梁詠琪

離開 這一刻感覺不會忘記
朋友 抱擁告別明天各自遠飛
難得 並沒傷感依依不捨顧慮
重拾昨天 樂趣一堆
曾經 每一天相約找美麗去
陶醉 美的故事互相勉勵去追
曾經 望著天空一起哭泣至睡
臨別說起 亦笑相對

#
別了依然相信 以後有緣再聚
未曾重遇以前 要珍惜愛自己
在最好時刻分離不要流眼淚
就承諾在某年 某一天某地點 再見

TODAY WHILE THE BLOSSOMS
STILL CLING TO THE VINE
I'LL TASTE YOUR STRAWBERRIES
I'LL DRINK YOUR SWEET WINE
A MILLION TOMORROWS
SHALL ALL PASS AWAY
ARE WE FORGET ALL THE JOY
THAT IS OURS TODAY

Repeat # #

Now it's time for me sing to myself to fairwell UK, UK's friends and my university. Also looking foward to "在某年 某一天某地點 再見".


Orginal English version
Today　　　　　The New Christy Minstrels
*
Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries
I'll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
Ere I forget all the joy that is mine today

I'll be a dandy and I'll be a rover
You'll know who I am by the song that I sing
I'll feast at your table
I'll sleep in your clover
Who cares what tomorrow shall bring?

Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries
I'll drink your sweet wine

I can't be contented with yesterday's glory
I can't live on promises winter to spring
Today is my moment and now is my story
I'll laugh and I'll cry and I'll sing(*)

六月九日前的信 (Last mail pre 09th June) - 節錄
"我不是為了後悔/內疚/面子/尊嚴而令自己去愛/追求你
更不是為了控制/擁有你;
而是你在很久以前已經成為我生命中的一部份."

若生命等候 黃凱芹

幾多足印重踏　你我這一生中
心總想想個明白　每次我都很痛苦
生命你是如何開始　我可有選擇
生命你在何時了斷　那可以推測

＊
若這生命再等　就會一生變空白
若這生命再等　任那光陰去踐踏

不必給我旁白　過去了的可解答
心只想想你明白　那裡有真把握
生命已是重重錯誤　錯中作選擇
堅強信念無從說服　我想你手緊握

重唱　＊

當緊握一對手　那怕多一個傷口
奉獻生命也好　亦勝一生去等候

當緊握一雙手　那怕多一個傷口
不必管它可否　讓理想可以追求

抱著你的日子 彭羚
曲：梁偉丰 詞：黃偉文 編： Ricky Ho

聞說你的心傷了
最後卻沒法等我治療
自己將傷勢醫好了 期望也動搖
難怪你都心灰了
再沒寄望我可慰寂寥
仍體恤的說不緊要 然后背著我哭了

*
應該抱著你的日子
沒時候 伴隨在側是迫不得已
情事與世事 都要專注
可惜只得一副心思
應該抱著你的日子
沒時候 伴隨在側做看守天使
難道要壯烈 戀愛一次
必須拋開一切皈依 再共處
(必須花光整副心思 去下注) *

和你買的飛機票 最后變做這張碎字條 :
倫敦的積雪等不了 原諒我獨個走了

Repeat * *

Power of Infinity
English version of "Get Along" theme from Amine "Slayers"

Keep on going on a journey for a long time
I know it's my destiny from my birth
but I never feel so lonely, never scared and cry
somebody will be waiting for me

On my way, it's stormy night, I can see no light
but I never stop on my long journey
yes, my blood is already boiling to the limit
Nobody can hurt my body and soul

All I ever look for something you looking for
never give up to hold it so firmly
it's my life, it's myself
I will go to the top, I will be the winner of my life

Fly away
I know the meaning of true liberty
so can feel the power of infinity
whatever happens to me, I can get over it with a smile

Fly away
I know the meaning of true liberty
so can feel the power of infinity
Don't stop believing it
till the day I can get my dream

wandering to find out my dream
beat it wrong, try again

do not use this power to the vice ever
in my mind, reason whisper to me
if I find somebody to flatter the evil
He is my enemy just right away

I can change idle days to the glorious days
with my magic to make the exciting world
it's so easy to be happy, easy to be wise
do you want this precious talent of mine?

some of my friends say they would be myself
cause I can do anything so certainly
be so tough, its OK!
I will go through the air, I will be the winner of my life

Fly away
I know the meaning of true liberty
so can feel the power of infinity
whatever happens to me I can get over it with a smile

Fly away
I know the meaning of true liberty
so can feel the power of infinity
let's keep the faith together
till the day we can get our dreams

wandering to find out our dreams
beat it wrong, try again

Fly away
I know the meaning of true liberty
so can feel the power of infinity
whatever happens to me I can get over it with a smile

Fly away
I know the meaning of true liberty
so can feel the power of infinity
whatever happens to me I can get over it with a smile

Fly away
I know the meaning of true liberty
so can feel the power of infinity
let's keep the faith together
till the day we can get our dreams

wandering to find out our dreams
beat it wrong, try again

Kokoro wo Hiraite (Open your heart - 寶礦力廣告歌, Zard) words by Sakai Izumi

English
(Open your Heart)

It may just be that
I'm not the person you're thinking of
But though it's strange
When I hear your voice
I feel so much more at ease

I never want to forget this moment
Even if reality changed to memory
Even though you don't say it
You feel the same way, don't you

Having deep relationships
Wasn't something I was good at
But when I'm look at you I see
You're impatient, just like me
Such a thing must be irresistible love

We sat together and just watched the people
Walking down the streets through a gap in the buildings
The passing of time saddened me
And I snuggled against your shoulder

My dream Your smile
The more I try to forget, the more I come to love you
Even though it's a misunderstanding...
Open up your heart

No matter when it is, I'll throw myself
Into your arms, without losing my way
Your dream, I believe
So open up your anxious heart

HK.yahoo.com can't access since yesterday, same problem with the e-mail server. What happened?
There was a research about the importance of email to the IT related people. It was found that some people agreed that impact of losing email service was even more than many aspect such as losing job.
Called Sister Ann Cheung and chat with her for a while. She is fine and still working in the flower factory. She asked me if I will come back to UK for the graduation. She advices me that will be one of the most meaningful moment in my life. I know this is a bit of strange to tell her that I will come back a year after for my brother's graduation. I clearly know that I didn't achieved an acceptable performance throughout the three years university study, moreover, I know that I will have my Master graduation in future. Also family fiancial status don't allow me to make ANY silly decision right now. It is my responsible to help family on reducing the loan problem related to Ka Wai/Ka To's study. As I'm the one push them into university.

Human beings are motivated by the reachable target, knowing how to define and march advance to the target is essential.

Fair Wind
Theme from Anime "Slayers"

My baby you don't know
how much I love you behind of you
Cause (you) always look (at) the front
to get your dream in future

My baby you don't know
whether you meet with an accident
It's (a) lonely like a bird
but it's a really free like (a) bird

I know I just a fair wind, it's OK
You can go to everywhere
I believe my love and believe your love
Go across ocean and blue sky

Baby don't be afraid
If you try to fly away
with a tiny shiny wing, I'll be follow(ing) you
everyday and everynight
Baby don't be afraid
If you stay by breaking heart
through the lonely shady night
I'll be hug your pain
whenever and forever

My baby keep in mind
how much I love you beside of you
This way is hard like hill
but it's a really sweet like (a) kiss

I know I just a fair wind, it's OK
You can go to everywhere
I believe my soul and believe your soul
Go catch exciting chance and dream

Waiting for the arrival of this day
When You Tell Me That You Love Me (Diana Ross)

I wanna call the stars
Down from the sky
I wanna live a day
That never dies
I wanna change the world
Only for you
All the impossible
I wanna do

I wanna hold you close
Under the rain
I wanna kiss your smile
And feel the pain
I know what's beautiful
Looking at you
In a world of lies
You are the truth

And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me

I wanna make you see
Just what I was
Show you the loneliness
And what it does
You walked into my life
To stop my tears
Everything's easy now
I have you here

And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me

In a world without you
I would always hunger
All I need is your love to make me stronger

And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me

You love me
When you tell me that you love me

Don't Make Me Wait For Love
Kenny G featuring Lenny Williams
(Preston Glass/W. Afanasieff/Narada Michael Walden)

Sitting here just staring at your picture
Waiting for your call
So unclear, I'm hanging on a notion
We could have it all

Time and time again you tell me to be patient
But we can't let love slip away

Baby, don't make me wait for love this time, oh
Ooh, oh, darling a love like this is hard to find
Don't make me wait for love

Hmm, I close the blinds and try to hide the darkness
Fall asleep alone
Give me a sign, a man ain't supposed to face life
Standing on his own

When you're near me I can't help but see forever
Come and rescue me tonight

Baby, don't make me wait for love this time, oh
Oh, oh, darling a love like this is hard to find
Can't you see I need your love, I need you

Baby, don't make me wait for love this time, yeah
Oh, oh, darling a love like this is hard to find
Don't make me wait for love

Oh, oh, oh, baby, don't make me wait for love this time, oh
Oh, oh, darling a love like this is hard to find
Can't you see I need your love, I need you

Baby, don't make me wait for love this time

Ka Wai buy a hp printer today, cost 55 GBP - quite expensive in my view.
Ka To is very excited about extension on assignment hand in. However, I really doubt about if he can finish them. Ka Wai on the other hand, hand in all of his assignments today.
Suddenly think of a book called "dirty tricks" read two years ago, maybe read it again later.

中學時(F4?F5?)曾經看過一本書叫[中國人可以說"不"], 書中充斥各式各樣看似"客觀"的觀點. 不斷鼓吹民族主義, 對抗外國形形色色的"欺壓". 當時覺得此書狹隘的觀點十分可笑和不設實際, 作者好像是活在自我陶醉與幻想之中, 缺乏面對現實的勇氣. 不禁令人聯想到充滿香港特色的"維園亞伯"和"人大政客".
不過今天本人突發奇想: 為何沒有人出一本書叫"香港人可以說不"(Hong Kong-ian can say no).

Do you remember this song? The song you sent to me when I left HK?
野孩子
主唱：楊千嬅　作曲：雷頌德　填詞：黃偉文

就算只談一場感情 除外都是一時虛榮
不等於 在蜜月套房 遊玩過 就可自入自出仙境
情願獲得你的尊敬 承受太高傲的罪名
擠得進你臂彎 如情懷漸冷 未算孤苦也伶仃

明知愛 這種男孩子 也許只能如此
但我會成為你最牽掛的一個女子
朝朝暮暮讓你猜想如何馴服我
若果親手抱住 或者不必如此

許多旁人說我不太明瞭男孩子
不受命令就是一種最壞名字
笑我這個毫無辦法管束的野孩子
連沒有幸福都不介意

若我依然堅持忠誠 難道你又適合安定
真可惜 說要吻我的還未吻 自己就自夢中甦醒
離場是否有點失敬 還是更轟烈的劇情
必需有這結果 才能懷念我 讓我於荒野馳騁

明知愛 這種男孩子 也許只能如此
但我會成為你最牽掛的一個女子
朝朝暮暮讓你猜想如何馴服我
若果親手抱住 或者不必如此

許多旁人說我不太明瞭男孩子
不受命令就是一種最壞名字
笑我這個毫無辦法管束的野孩子
連沒有幸福都不介意

明知愛 這種男孩子 也許只能如此
但我會成為你最牽掛的一個女子
朝朝暮暮讓你猜想如何馴服我
若果親手抱住 或者不必如此

許多旁人說我不太明瞭男孩子
不受命令就是一種最壞名字
我也笑我原來是個天生的野孩子
連沒有幸福都不介意
