重返中大校園

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.

1st Day in Japan

Hi, I did arrive Japan finally. Its realli frustrating of not knowing any Japanese before coming. We first got on the right Narita Express Bus but to the wrong car. The different cars of the train will split to different route later on. So, we had to got out. Luckily, a nice Mama helped us to tell the captain that we got the wrong car!

Then, we arrived at the Ikebukuro hostel. There’s no internet connection and the room is quite small... Hope Ken wouldn't mind that... T-T

We had a great dinner at a Ramen restaurant. The shop keepers know Mandarin. The ramen is really nice!

We are now inside an Internet cafe which is quite ok... Communication is the most troublesome thing! /_\

PS. Holy shxt! my period arrived so early that I dunno if I could still go to hot pot!!! I found it out when I got trouble on the plane. Luckily it was not too obvious....

Seeya.

Ninth Day of End of Term Trip

I've moved to Washington DC yesterday night. Due to bad bad weather in NY, our flight delayed for more than an hour. Then, it took more than 40 minutes to take off. Anyway, through this spare time, I read my Sophie Kinsella which I loved to read. The story is better than the last few novels of hers. However, I just finished up to 120 pages....

Yesterday we slept in Best Western Hotel. It's just about 3-star hotel but it's the most comfortable place to sleep throughout our trip. I slept after I bathed until today 915am. It seems that I'm not too well and need a lot of sleep!

Today, we went to the Pentagon. There said no photography of the Pentagon property. However, I really couldn't figure out that one is the Pentagon! It's just a damn place...

Then, we went to our hostel - HI-WASHINGTON. It looks really like to a student hostel, similar to Grace Tien's Hall. It's quite OK for this price. Good location indeed.

We went to the ChinaTown nearby to have our lunch. The waiter could speak Cantonese which is a bonus! The food is very delicious!

Then, we went to the Spy Museum, which shows quite a lot of spying-stuff like bugs, invisibe inks. It's like having a security class again. We saw the Enigma again. XDD Then, we walked a lot from the Washington monument, Jerreson Monument, Lincoln Monument to the Albert Einstein Monument. My legs are like no more belong to me!

We then took the Metro to the Union Station, hoping to find something good to eat. However, their prices are really high. There's not much choices as we went there quite lately. So, we had McDonald's again for a meal.... I just think we had too much McDonald's throughout our journey.

After the 2nd day of my stay at DC, I prefer DC rather than NY. NY is just like another Hong Kong, where life is very stressful. People in NYC appeared to be less friendly than in DC. Plus there is more places to go in DC rather than in NY. But, NY would have more opportunities. It would be a better place to find your dream.

Seventh Day of end of term trip

Today, we woke up a little bit late due to late laundry ytd. Anyway, it's much better than in March, our wake up time is around 9pm. We kept on tasting frozen cakes, the freezer is so strong in fact... Angria appeared to be really busy today. She kept on typing SMS messages. I thought it's something related to her new friend who hit her off.

We went to the Central Park today. It might even bigger than the Victoria Park in HK but we aren't that into it. :p Then, we went to the Metropolitan Museum of Arts which is as big as the Art Museum in Chicago. I hate paintings after all... It's so hard for me to watch millions of paintings all at a time. I feel dizzy in the afternoon and had to stop visiting. So, I just sat down at the lobby and take a nap. It makes me so sleepy after taking the Cold pills. After taking a nap, I feel much better. :)

We walk around St. Patrick's Church in the 5th Avenue. Wow! It's so so so BIG!! I like the Catholic churches, they are marvelous! Then, we visited the H&M without buying anything.

At night, we walked a long way to the 吉野家 near Time's Square. It's so tasty and so full! But, it's really cheap when compared to other restaurants.

Sixth Day of End of Term Trip

Today we finished our 6th Day of journey. It's frustrating to settle the hostel fee in the morning. The worst thing is we dun have enough money and had to walk around to take money out from ATM machines.

Then, we arrived TKTS store in Times Square at around 1030am. TKTS is the one selling cheap boardway tickets. However, the man told me there's never Wicked cheap tickets. So, we just bought 3 Mama-mia! tickets. After paying for the hostel fee, we all have no cash in our hands. We had to go back and take money out and line up again... Anyway, we finally got our tickets, each USD61 included tax.

We walked around the New York Public Library which is located at 5th Avenue. It's quick big but i can't find any interesting books. There's a lot of Japanese restaurants in the 5th Avenue. We bought a quick lunch in one of them and had them outside the NYPL. I ordered a beef rice bowl but the beef is quite thick. It's not as good as I expected.

We watched Mama-mia! at 2pm. I slept nearly for the whole show... T^T What the XXCK!!! After that, we went to the Columbia University which is at the 110th Street. The buildings there are actually packed extremely close to each other, even closer than in CUHK. Maybe this is the difference between NY and Champaign. I bet Columbia University isn't famous of engineering school though.

At night, we went to the Times Square Ruby Tuesday. It's really expensive, around USD25-30 per head. Maybe tomorrow we could go to the China Town once again to have a real nice+cheap dinner.

In most of the subway stations, we could find SingTao newspaper with the Earthquake as the headline. It's really horrible. What is the real reason to result such a tragedy?

5th Day of End Term Trip

After trained by Connie for 3 days, we finally could back to a more traveler-like journey. I woke up today at 8am successfully after a real good sleep. Then, we left our hostel to Starbuck for a quick breakfast. My iced coffee tasted good but it's too cool!!! Anyway, then we try to go to buy Broadway ticket without success. Having wasted 1 hour, we then went to the Battery Park and then took the ferry to visit the Statue of Liberty.

There's really huge number of visitors going to visit the Statue just like we did! We lined up for the tickets, for the security check, and then for getting on and off the ferries. We wasted most of our time in between the Islands in lining up. It's crazy!!

Then, we went to the Wall Street when it's nearly time to close offices. We sat down at a real grand public area for a light Teaset: @2.5 Sushi. It's very cheap, juz USD1 per head which we got it because the guy forgot to take his money back when he purchased his MTA ticket. :p We then realized that we missed taking the photo of the Bull at the Wall Street so that we returned to it after visiting the WTC. WTC is now a rubbish place but it's really sad.

Finally, we got to the China Town before 8pm. It's kind of late that we could hardly find shops that were open at that time. Fortunately, we did find a Chinese restaurant of low prices. The food is very good! They served us with Tea which is free of charge. We had unlimited amount of rice as much as you can fill your stomach full. We ordered 3 dishes, but the "fried oyster with eggs" was kind of disgusting. Anyway, this was a very delicious meal! :)

After that, we traveled back to our HighBridge Hostel at Harlem. The Harlem street was as poor as yesterday's. It's quite scary! Anyway, I had come back safely under the guard of two "strong" men. :)

PS. Just read the news about XiChuan, it's really sad. The earthquake is juz like the one happened in Chinese textbook: TangShan. Hope the aid comes quickly and people there could be saved as soon as possible.

Forth Day of End Term Trip

I've landed safely in Halem, NYC. Halem is a black-people area that many people said it's dangerous here. Anyway, please dun panic. :)

Today we went through the 4th park in Disneyworld - Hollywood Studio. It's ok but in fact i'm a little bit tired of simulation game. I know the feeling of free fall isn't real so i stopped panic. But I still don't dare get into the real ride. I'm really afraid of the feeling of free-fall even though it's like a metre high. Ken is so kind to me that whatever "exciting" game I dun play, he didn't play either. He lost lots of chances to play those "amazing" ride becox of me... Anyway, I did try one indoor ride with little free-fall but accelerating so quickly. I cried just after the game started. :'( The whole group of people dare not persuade me playing exciting games anymore.

We left the MGM studio today after 2:30pm. We were realli in a rush that we have to catch the MEARS bus at 3:30pm! Unfortunately, the cab driver drove us to the celebration instead of the Radisson Celebration! I noticed it lately. Anyway, the cab drove us back to the right place after I appeared to be unsatisfied. He charged us at USD22 which is in fact lower than the morning cab price. :)

Then, we travelled to NYC where I am now. We three people always travel with "excitements". It's like adventure. It seems not many HK people dare to come to Harlem cox this is actually a place for the black and the environment is quite bad. (I saw mouses running in between the railway!!! Isn't it NYC?) We arrived Manhattan at around 11pm and could only find McDonald's. I could only think of one reason to go to a less tourists populated area, that is to find food at a lower price. Tonight, I and Ken shared a "2 cheese-burger meal" with "4 McNuggets" at USD4.5+1+tax. It is a good deal!

Now, we landed to the Highbridge Hostel, it's much better than expected. We've got some room-mates. We knew a gal of mixed Asian and Holland called "angria", a Greece name. She is nice with very good English! She's a dancing teacher too! Wow!!

Anyway, time to bed. Seeya. =]

First Day of End term trip

This is the first day of my end of term trip. I and Ken just got 2.5 hr-sleep to carry on with our trip. We first checked out at the Sherman Hall front desk. I hope there's nothing wrong with my room. Otherwise, I have to pay for USD25 for the stupid cleaning fee...

I, Ken, Hendry, Connie and Ivan had a great Amtrak journey this time. I liked talking with Ivan! His story is very interesting! I jealous him of studying at UIUC+Internship at a very very good computer company.

After that, I, Ken, hendry just thought we're going to the o'hare airport but the fact is, our destination should be Midway airport. Oops... Luckily we had Connie who notice us. But, we just got there lately that we couldn't put our luggage in. We've got lots of liquid like shampoo, cream, etc inside!

Finally, I, Ken and Hendry just change our flight to a later one and left Connie alone to meet with Qin who was in Orlando before us. The flight is quite low priced and safe! We arrived Orlando at around 10:11pm, a +1 timezone when compared with Chicago.

Orlando is really very inconvenient that subway could hardly be found. We bought a USD32 round-trip shuttle bus from MEARS. It's really very expensive!!! Anyway, we got to the hotel at 12 midnight. So, just write soon. =]

Goodbye My Room

I'll check out just around 4-5 hours later and carry on with my trip. I really can feel a sense of how time flies. it would be very glad to have come here, it's the most amazing thing to have been here. i like urbana-chamaign. the people here, the shops, the enviornment, i love them all. i can hardly find another place gives me such a memorable experience before.

it just like i've been moving here a month ago. i dont even know where did my january and feburary went. the winter here actually did ruin my mood. it would be happier if the weather is not that bad. But after all, it's just kind of experience, right? I've taken a lot of photos of my room, I'll show you all later. This room is so nice to me, it's biggest room i've ever had! I have a "private" bathroom of my own too!

Actually, today would be the second last day of enjoying my life at UIUC. It's really incredible. I talked with many native speakers and I find out my English has improved a little bit. it'll be more preferable to have a 1-year exchange program. I would suggest it too!!

I could not even find something I realli regret about. What I learnt here could never be learnt in HK. I would not that familiar with socket programming if I were studying it in CU. This is realli amazing to have been here. Though it spends maybe the whole of my money, I have no regret in doing so.

18th Thursday @ UIUC

今天過了最忙碌的一天，要KO的工作還挺多的，足足寫滿了一張紙！

今天起來煮個靚飯，已經下午一時，然後努力完成餘下的一百頁can you keep a secret? 為的是要今天內還掉之前借的書和DVDs，為明天的quit宿做好準備！終於兩點前完成喇！之後背著好重重的書出發去！

然後去Engineering Hall辦什麼Housing award的手續，It's crazy! 我跟本不知道什麼原因要我填表，然後白白浪費了我一個小時才知道是send錯！

晚上interview，好驚連astri都唔收我T^T 我在21-26不能聯絡得上呀，不要這麼對我啦 T_T

18th Wednesday @ UIUC

今天七時正考試，考numerical method，入去不消廿五分鐘就將40條MC做完，當中有些是顯然連term都未聽過（上課時一定沒有教的喇！），有些不肯定，有些做完又做；結果是怎樣我不太介意了，因為都走佬咯，有什麼比珍惜這裡的最後兩天更重要？

* 請不要以為我回港了，我還有東岸和東京之旅向著我招手～

之後努力埋首東京之旅的準備，好擔心去的景點太多，又怕玩得不夠全面看不到日本的風味，不過，jamjam說得對，不要太貪心，到頭來可能將事情弄得更糟！好啦，如今我的revised version是有溫泉（希望生理期生生性性！！）、築地、新宿、outlet、一些博物館，建少的建議是：不要shopping太多喇，反正東京購物都較貴；不過，買化妝品和平價貨品一定不能少的！*v* 今晚印了很多notes出來，將printer都印壞 :p

寫下明天要做的事情，很多很多，應該做不到運動的了，遲些再返champaign的時候再去CRCE血拼啦！ ** 到時候可能又會因為要埋首東京的資料搜集而取消CRCE之旅...

2009年

各位同學和教職員

老校園 新建築2008年4月25日的立法會財務委員會會議，正式批准撥款3億3,820萬，供中大興建五幢建築物，分別供晨興、善衡與和聲三所新書院使用。

中大在2007至08學年提供的核准政府資助學生宿位為5,926個，而中大現有政府資助學生宿位只有4,066個，即尚欠約1,860個這類宿位。這五幢新建築落成後，共可增加1,500個宿位，有助補足短缺數目。

這五幢建築物可望在暑假動工興建，首先進行圍板和地盤清理工程。鄰近大學體育中心、供晨興和善衡兩所書院使用的建築，預期 2010年年底竣工；位於士林路的和聲書院則於2011年3月完成。另外，位於大學站側的酒店及旅遊管理學院新教學樓，已完成地基和地盤平整工程，現正興建上蓋。這座教學樓毗鄰新教學酒店，預計在2009年12月完工。

最後，兩座興建中的新建築，也將於本年內相繼完成。位於李達三樓舊址的新教學樓，將於9月竣工；座落新亞書院的霍英東遙感科學館，則會在10月建成。以上各工程進行期間，無可避免會對教職員和學生造成滋擾和不便，希望各位能多加體諒、包涵和支持。

不消2009年，中大已經面目全非。唉。

18th Tuesday @ UIUC

懶洋洋的我已經無心戀戰了，更加不想再理日本之旅的行程，越看就越煩！好多東西要準備呀，好像現在準備已經遲了些，唉，聽說新宿沒有太多便宜的東西可以買，台場一定要去啦，大江戶溫泉又好像好正好想入住，但行李又可以放在哪裡呢？T^T

今天終於將行李放好在ivan房間裡，ivan好好人的幫我將行李由一樓抽到上四樓！！仲勁過做dumbbell！然後又提我們要記得dl盡UIUC的免費software才好！對啊，差點忘記了！一口氣馬上下載了vista+XP+visio，還有很多很多，幸而Harddisk還有15GB的空位，可以用盡！

嗯，努力KO Numerical method，然後可以繼續埋首看sophie kinsella的書ss，真的好好看，強烈推薦給喜歡看BJ單身日記那種故事的人看，sophie kinsella的書真的沒有深度，不過夠頂癮！*v*

PS. 自私。

18th Monday @ UIUC

踏入最後一星期了，這個blog應該不知不覺間伴著我十八個星期之久！我想，待我返港後再看看幾個月前的我，應該會好回味的了。 =] 所以，我才會每天都盡量keep住寫寫寫，那怕在這裡看得最多的人就是自己！

今天我又跑步去了，成績有進步，有六個圈之久，雖然跑到第六個圈還有氣的，不過因為呼吸得較差，好多氣跑到肚子裡，所以乾脆做其他運動好了。加強Byebye肉的訓練，合共兩set，每set有二十下；然後肚腩的訓練，patpat位的訓練，希望這幾天的訓練有效啦！臨走前上磅，我輕多1lb *v*

自信

星期四晚點算好
我覺得我會爭輸
我唔知點先可以爭贏
通常覺得自己一定掂既最後都係爭輸，我唔想輸
我唔想做失敗果個

ivan, 乜我平時真係咁confident？/_\

17th Sunday @ UIUC

昨天考完試後一直沒有眠過，去了第二次Far East入貨，因為之後幾天比較閒，可以做飯給自己和kenken吃了 (L) 最開心的是吃到我喜歡吃的全旦面/蝦子面，又可以慳錢，昨天買了的USD12夠兩個人吃三餐的了，即是每天是2/head，平時兩蚊夠你買一枝coke罷了！還有，我房間都蠻多吃的，有subway value meal不想吃的Lays chips，有平時好愛吃現在好討厭吃的mashmallow，還有古古力沖劑、貪得意買下的奶茶茶包（都幾難飲... ）、winnie送的烏龍茶茶葉（好香好正的，為我security+OS考試打氣呀！）、媽媽臨走前給我的心心參茶、kenken姨姨送的五花茶（其實是kenken的不過已經給我佔有了XDD），６天裡能夠用得完嗎？T^T

今天努力為日本之旅做好準備，之前看到池袋的百貨公司全部都會在2100關門，我之前以為是11pm，今天才驚覺是9pm! 我們530pm才到達narita airport，去到全部都關了啦 -.- 我不想第一日就要浪費掉呀！

實在好像考完試的心情，因為下一科頹爆numerical method星期三晚上七時才考，太多時間又不想浪費，於是好好利用CRCE的福利！考試期間的CRCE蠻少人，不過都有些人在努力做運動中，特別是肥婆（個肚腩大到好似有左BB咁... ）。跑了五個圈，然後繼續做weight train，要加緊hips和手臂的訓練喇，我有預感去旅行的時候那些部位又會再現喇 /_\

沒有kenken的做運動日子好悶呀... 做完半小時就走，再去Far East入貨，因為帶不夠錢的關係，只買了很少很少的東西，買下好貴的味噌湯，不過應該幾好味罷。回家才發覺，原來我都還有些未用過的湯，例如一個金寶Broccoli cheese。好，目標是星期五前吃光這些東西！\_/

17th Saturday @ UIUC

第一個UIUC考試日，七點鐘起身的我極度黑仔，首先今天叮mini-pizza做早餐吃的時候，明明包裝上寫明5min，但是去到4分鐘的時候居然燒焦！微波爐冒煙，然後kenken聰明得馬上將微波爐門打開，令到所有煙都冒出來！房間裡的煙霧探測器響起，我心想：半小時候要考試囉喎，唔係搞ｄ咁既野呀？最後，我倆執好行李馬上閃人！

一邊考試一邊想著家中會不會著火呢？令到試卷本身已經不會做，現在又不專心，一定收皮喇 =[

之後早半小時走人，回家看看，幸而一切平女無恙！只是房間比較臭了點 :p 然後ken將港紙千元的書賣掉，還好有一半的錢！不知道我的257會否賣到，舊1版的numerical method，如果五塊美金就算了吧，將他帶回香港啦。

今天security exam好x難，沒有一條有100%把握，我一邊做一邊想：嘩，留空咁多唔係幾好喎...我的結論是：i've screwed up with all my exams!

嗯，剛剛執好行李喇，原來我的隨身物品那麼少的，不消半小時就收拾好 XP 還未考完試就要執行李喇，因為下星期要將行李放在ivan家中～我想我應該夠位，再加埋kenken的空位，我想日本之旅都不用買吧？！

聖火

在UIUC校園裡面沒有什麼olympic game的氣氛，我看到的都是從新聞上看到的片段，我想討論的不是CNN主播的那番話，而是看到某人xanga說：香港人因為奧運變得愛國，令言論自由都容不下。

我覺得這種講法不正確，當然，追求民主追求言論自由的人會覺得如果連去示威都不准，那麼香港講了幾十年的言論自由不就失去嗎？不過，追求自由還追求，有必要在這個「節日」底下去做這樣的事嗎？這是一份尊重嘛，你會不會在新年流流捉人家的痛腳來講一番？難道除了傳聖火的日子外，就沒有其他的日子可以示威嗎？這樣示威又代表什麼？既然大家歡天喜地的辦喜事，為什麼要掃大家的興，難道再遲一天早一天去做又不行嘛？

去年十二月中大的畢業典禮裡面，抗議董建華領銜、要求特首增加福利的人將當天氣氛搞到不倫不類，這次在奧運傳聖火事件裡面又要將場面搞得不體面。這不是面子問題，而是對主持、對大會的一位尊重。就好像你去看電影，將電話關掉不去傾電話，這樣又可以叫做失去這論自己麼？

17th Thursday @ UIUC

Hey, today is the reading day. reading day is just a day for you to revise for your exam. however, the fact is, for an undergraduate here, you'll have a lot of subjects to go thru. how can u finish them within 1 day?! worst of all, US exams are likely to packed into juz couple of days. you may have 3 exams on the same day,each lasts for 3 hours!! CU exams are much "lighter" when compared here.

anyway, juz 2 days left. i shall be revising my OS and security together. T^T today when i wake up, i juz stop myself from dl-ing last friends ep03 which i wanna watch so much! >_<

ok. time to carry on. suddenly, i found i've got a lot of stuff to work on after my security exams... the worst thing is to plan better for my tokyo trip... T^T
