After watching "Changing Lanes", I went to the CCC (the computer repairing shop) and get my computer back. Supurisingly, the PC is back to "normal", but the shop assistant (repairing exeprt) advised me better back up all the files and recover the PC again!
I did try, but somehow......
after I have back up something into a compaact disc, but ego did win my super-ego and tempt me to online... then my PC back to "normal" again ~ the status before I took it to repair...
Then, stupidly, I got to use the recovery disc, leaving GB and GB of data away (washed by the computer itself), beside hundreds ( even thousands) of songs, I still lost a lot of photos (like those I scan to the computer, like my first cheque from one of my students
How silly and how careless I am?
and so the PC too, how come it can be so easily to get ... ... halted
Could anyone tell me?

[Changing Lanes]
I did wait to watch such a good film from the theatre for months
The background music is wonderful and the casting is good too!
But the story is too DARK (always focus on the bad sides and the evil beneath our "human nature" !)
But it's so good that we can see a good (and probaly warm) ending instead of a blue ending at the end of this motion picture !! ~ the movie is really a deep one ~ can't make us think a lot (as least more) on ourselves and the society or the entire speices of human being
But if I really need to say, then Samuel L. Jackson probably can't get the academic awards in the actor of the leading role (his performance is better ~ in " Unbreakable", not this one! And I do think that if the lawyer is not acted by Ben Afflick ~ but by some other guys... then the ending would be much darker!
As Ben is probably a popular guy, so he can't be too bad (too fxxx) in a movie, isn't it?
"Changing lanes" ~ somehow our lives can change a lot by the others as the story said so and the 6 billions people who are living in the same planet, is probably inter-related... you know what i'm saying?

Today, I bought another THE DOG from McDonald's to my sis (this time is a Pavilion)
I brought a wonderful Mc Rice with Filet shared it with my student (it's really delicious!)
But you know what, I did tell the crew at the counter that "I'm in a hurry!" for at least five times (but she just pretended that I was joking ) and she's smiling (probably not lovely one, but really digusting!)
She even forgot to call the rice for me and forgot that I was buying a "DOG"!
~ If I miss a 521, I am need to use 20 minutes to wait for another one ....
and yes, I really miss one, so I take the minibus (route no. 43) to get there again! The fare is higher, the time is longer and the speed is lower (I spent 30 minutes on the ride ~ if I take 521, as least 10 minutes faster) ~ so I won't take the minibus the third time again as I thought in the future....
Luckily, the rice is really deliciously!
And I eat a lot as soon as I back home too (I eat 2 more bowls of rice and 3 bowls of soup besides the Mc Rice) ~ I do like to talk the story in Cantonese!! But if I really use Chinese~ probably I will say a lot of dirty words to that crew ...So, I use English again~
and today's is the end of my first semester (should be on Friday) ~ so anything worong?
probaly ~ but don't try to figure it out from me, ask my teacher(s) or lecturer(s)
If you really want an answer from me (I will get extremely angry... ...)

Yesterday... (yes, again I am talking about yesterday, but not today....)
~I went to Parklane with Lung for the English Oral Exam with Lung on foot.
We saw a beautiful sky with falbous clouds, shining colours of the early evening...
I said to Lung,: Isn't it wonderful (beautiful), with so beautiful clouds in the sky?"
Lung,: Yes, but somehow they are everchanging just like those girls in the entire world." I replied,:... ... ... ..."
We got there ontime and we did social with harry, Tin Yee, Vanilla and Vivian where I forgot that it was Vivian's Birthday!
And I got an "excellent" question with a reasonable marks... ... ... ....
I got to comment on recent news story where it's really challenging and I think Lung did much better than me! So, I wonder howcome my mark is (much) higher than his.
And I wonder why we can have the test earlirer than Jasmine and Kobi... ... (Eliza told us that it's because Jasmine's eyes hurt and she got to go to a clinic)
Finally, we saw then right after we reach the 2nd of the Parklane Centre (but we didn't greet to each other...)
~After that, I get to my student's home ontime and back to home right after that and took the broken PC for repair in the town centre with my dad. We got there by a taxi...
On the taxi ride, we chatted with the taxi driver, whose surname is Kwok, where we really found that the Economy of HK is really........... So, he said he should be so glad if he can earn over $ 200 a nite (til 4am) and just regarded that if someone told him he earned over $500 as joking (as he should feel happy as long as the day he didn't need to lose)
And we take off early soon after the meter turned to $13.7 instead of $12.5 and walk there instead of wait til the meter readings change a few more times.
I bought a Pug from the McDonald's to my sister with a Filet-O-Fish to my dad and a hamburger to myself. Back home by a route 66 KMB.
~That night, I watch a TV program in the TVB Pearl called " Sahara with Michael Plain", the BBC documentary is really wonderful and I wonder they can live in such a poor place in Africa but much happier than those living in MDCs and modern cities like HK... And I knew he wrote a boook with the same title too (selling $265 in Page One), so I am waiting the publishing of VCDs or DVDs... ...
Without computer that night, I still sleep after 2 am... (isn't it ridculous?)
~Today, I had my Chinese Oral exam already, but the mark is not very good (may be lower than 60%)
Then I "sit " Andrew's last Maths Lesson... and soon after I have my last Crit Think lecture! I can said my first semester is over! (as Mr Stephen Wong said the CLP lesson last week is the last one and as I have taken my Chi. Oral test... there's no need to come on Friday too~ and our wonderful "Just In Lamb" just said to all his students that he won't teach the last lesson of all his section! and tomorrow is my day-off . So, isn't it "wonderful"?

[December 2, 2002 ~ A Day of Preposterous]
Yesterday was the second of December 2002, where it should be a normal day as usual...
But to me, many strange things happened...
First at the mid-nite around 2 a.m., my PC hanged; so I choose the restart program by seleting from the "Start" menu. But after 5 minutes... my PC just sit still didnt back to normal (can't get back to the WinMe program...) then I press the "restart" key from the main body of the computer... ... Then my PC just reported to me that "It can't locate some shots of program from the system files (How come?!) I used about an hours to get my PC to the safe mode then choose to restore the computer with some shot of self-repair programs. It failed! I finally sleep at 5. Then wake up again at 8. Then I phone to the Tiny to help me on the situation of my PC.
Strangely, it was the first time I found that the operator (or the tele-helper) of the Tiny Co. Ltd is so patient on answering their customer questions... He told (taught) me some methods and instructions which may help~ But still it can't work at all (The PC seemed to give me some hope, but after 15minutes, suddenly` It just said to me "Windows Protection Errors...... The System is halted" To me and to the computer itself, it's extremly PREPOSTEROUS!!
I should have lesson in the campus at 1030, but I tried to help the PC til 1002, then I rushed myself back to the last tutorial section of Critical Thinking. (I reach campus at 1033, but yet over 50 % of us was not present yet. It's not usual! And it's not usual to have such shower pour down from the sky in the December, here in HK. (and the rain just stopped as soon as I reach the campus)
And don't know why, just I myself have finished all the Exercise given by Lecturer Lin. Yet, as usual, he used he extremely patient manner (and extremely slow speed to finish our last tutorial section, with some questions in the exerciae undone! But, don't ya don't that it's really the last section... Hah!!!
After the class, four of us (Hang, Jasmine, Lung and me) just rushed to the library without anything to eat for lunch (til 6 pm).
As my PC has been broken down. So, I run to the PC to check my webail as soon as I reach the Library. And I wrote to the afcd to reconfirm my partication in the "International Hiking Day" coming on the 7th and 8th of December, as previouly I reply my particiapation slip to the wrong e-mail a/c in the AFCD. (isn't it strange that we need to send mail to the third guy instead of the one who send us the e-mail about the activities??! To me, I found that it's ridiclous! After sending this message, I found that Eliza (my English LCC001 lecturer send a e-mail to me) *notice that the time is on 0930* From the mail, Miss Eliza said she is busy on checking our work to count in our marks into the final score. So, she could only check my extra work later! Isn't it wonderful we got such a hardworking lecturer to help our English? She's really so great that she can teach a lots to us and help us a lots in her interesting lesson...
But soon around 3pm, one of my friends who was still self-studying in the Library told me that Eliza fall ill that she can't hold the Oral Exam on Monday!
How come? Remember she's just send a message early in the morning? Just in a few hours, why she could fall ill easily! Just worry about her as she's really a great mentor to me (and she may need to spend a lot of extra hours to finished those "unfinished" exam)
In the afternoon, around 1630, I reach to one of my students' house as usual to help him on revision for 1.5 hours. But this time it's so unusual that he gave nothing for me to drink (usu he even gives some biscuits or bread for me to eat)
Then after 1800, I leaft and take 521 to Nim Wan (another student's home) But this time just as soon as I go downstair... I found I miss one 521. Then I used to wait for 20 minutes to have another 521 to get there, just as usual, this time, the bus was full! (luckily that, this time no one get in the bus from the back door (exit) of the bus. I reach there at 1840, then I found that the student still got a lot of homeworks unfinished where he's already got 4 days holiday! Before I left, his mother give something nice for me to eat (two delicious chicken wings and a bowl of soup with pig leg)It's sp Wonderful!
But when I reached the bus stop, I found that I miss another 521 again...... How come? it's the second time already! But luckily, I just need to wait for about 10 minutes this time for another 521. (ridculiously, it was the same 521 ~ serial number 108~ with the same bus driver) And I reached Sam Shing bus stop in just a minute, then I just rushed to get bus route 505 to get myself back to home
I nearly miss the bus again! But Luckily and Fortunately! I reach the bus and I just used only 20minutes to get myself back to home from Nim Wan (usu it takes over 30 minutes!!)
Back to home, thought I need to have my oral exam today (Dec 3), I just sit in my mother's room to watch the TV program on Mr Grennspan! But doing nothing except dialling to my friend to see if they are interested in tutoring a Primary 4 student (I didn't post any notices in supermarket! So I just don't know why some one will call me again to seek tutoring)
I sleep after 2am again, sit still to wait for the scan result of the PC (I found that in this morning those it said no problem was inside the hard disk) still it can't operate at all! How come?
and some other things really PREPOSTEROUS is that the radio program I heard during that time! (for those interested in the hypotheis of the fate of our planet or our own species~ plz listen again in the www.rthk.org.hk search for the program called "yehmama yehpapa" in Radio 2)
~ and the most interesing and most ridculious things happened to me is that I wrote the dairy talking things happen in yesterday instead of today's again!~
Luckily I can said today that Eliza recovered ! Isn't it wonderful?
