因為趕summer workshop的緣故,雖然回港只有三天,jetlag依然未過,但必須返IE LAB繼續努力喇!黃色暴雨的一個早上,我依然早上八時就起床了.... 乘港鐵的時候幸而沒有再下雨 :)
返校園途中,居然給我遇上了在UIUC讀PhD的一個中國人!真巧!哈哈!想不到他竟然覺得中大校園比UIUC校園漂亮得多...
重遇很多人,IE Lab的燕姐、到現在都覺得我幫過她的何太(還要打趣的跟ken說是否想住近d志文XDDD)、Oliver、Simon、Leo和KK。
半年的變化很大,好多東西感覺已經變得好陌生,對人的感覺亦是;時間可以令一個人由謙卑變得自大,那些經歷好像可以令其無限量驕傲。我好怕變成這種人,我不要做那些識少少扮代表的人。
Summer workshop又做錯事,因為未弄清楚而做是會有因快得慢的惡果,應當小心!
回到中大,又面對跟UIUC的學習氣氛差一大截的環境,我要小心提醒自己,記著那時候做system programming的時候,寫code的那個樂趣,堅守著從ivan身上學回來的那份堅持。
看來,我對香港還未能夠完全適應,那份寂寞的感覺又再襲擊我,雖然我知道我不是寂寞的。

Jetlag: 已經一個星期了....
不知道是因為jetlag的緣故還是什麼,自從由太平洋返亞洲之後,我一直都有個奇怪的現象:晚上十一時開始(或者更早)一定好眼訓,第二朝七時至九時一定會睡醒後就再不能入睡,一到晚上六時後開始有睡意,九時半會有睡眼出現,隨時可以睡得著!我好像好不健康的樣子... /_\
昨天將半年的頭髮剪掉,Rhys說我的頭型還可以,兩層layers還在,頭髮又不太厚,基本上只能輕輕修一下(oh my God!就這樣就HKD128?!)。跟rhys的對話,我開始懷疑自己是否能夠稱為一個大學生,社會上面好多東西都沒有認識過,好像除了自己專業裡的知識之外(其實IE的知識都未學識!),其他什麼都不會,對社會認知不足,還有一個月的時間,我可以改變這個局面麼?
王志焯,我幾時先可以好似你咁叻?

My Journey ends
Finally, my half year paradise-like journey ends. It is absolutely an amazing exchange programme to UIUC, knowing a lot of nice people there. I enjoyed everyday in UIUC, juz because I have nothing to bother with. I could concentrate on my work since no shopping and no malls. I liked hanging out on every Saturday with Ken to Walmart/Meijer to buy our food. Ya, it's really like working on the home of us. :)
I traveled to different places in US. It would be definitely the bonus for me to have received a lot of financial aids from different parties so that I could be able to fulfil my dream. I have to thank Ken for subsidize a lot for me, especially many many meals! Thank you so much!
It was a real long winter in Urbana-Champaign, the hardest as ever. I could not imagine how I could be surviced from the extremely cold weather. I remembered last time it was about -20C in Chicago. How could one suvrvice under such bad weather? Anyway, we made it! :)
From the many places I have traveled, I love Urbana-Champaign the most. It was quiet and less dense. You could have ample time to think about the deeper side of yourself. I enjoyed sitting in the library in the afternoon doing nothing. Washington DC is good, but it is too HK-like. Urbana-Champaign is totally different from Hong Kong, not many shops, restaurants. I think that's how you could feel American life.
Tokyo is quite attractive. People there are really nice and helpful. Some waiters don't know English but they try really hard to explain stuff to you.
Anyway, I finally get back to Hong Kong. I feel really stressed at home. (In fact, I did not miss home after the first month in US) I missed my American life a lot! Anyway, it's time to go back to reality, rite? Life is difficult but I have to carry on with it. I will suit myelf in!
PS. Ken, really thank you so much for helping me a lot in this journey. It wouldn't be that perfect without you. I love you. :)

4th Day @ Japan
Hm... ytd I was extremely tired that I slept for the whole trip... Ken was unsatisfied with me as wherever I went to, I was sleeping. We went to the outlet but I juz bought a little. I bought a Nike sportshoes for juz HKD250 but I bet it was out-dated. I dun care that in fact. XDD We went to "Toi-cheung" ytd for the nightview. But the weather was so bad that we could barely see anything. Smog covered everything!!
Today, I felt a little bit better. I think shopping is a big problem for me. I hate shopping now! I felt dizzy all the time. We walked around Shinjuku again (I need to buy my cosmetics...) for Shabushabu. It was very nice! =] We then comprimised to go to LaQua Spa which is quite new in Tokyo. It was located at the TokyoDomeCity where one of the world's fastest roller coster is located... I was inside the LaQua hotspot refreshment area now. I feel good! The staff is nice. Though they know a little bit of English, they did try their very best to explain things to me! :)
Hm... I will be back very soon... around 24hrs. In the remaining time, I had to try my best to play as hard as I can!!!! \_/

2nd Day @ Tokyo
Hi, again, I'm in the Internet cafe now. Today went to the `gut-cheung-tsy' and shinjuku. At the first stop, we stayed at the park for more than an hour. Then, shop at Muji and Uniqlo. I bought a little there. In fact, it's not as cheap as I think....
In shinjuku, it's very tired!!! How come Tokyo JP station have no seat for people to rest at?!
Anyway, I still miss Champaign where I learnt not to shop too much. Now, it turns out that I am not as addicted to shopping as I was before. But, we ought to buy something for both of us...
Seeya.
