O Camp.... Day 3

It's now six in the morning and i'm waiting to start the cooking of breakfast for the Day 3 of the O camp.... (i forgot what i'm supposed to cook..... sandwich? nevermind, just cook them something eidble and stuff their stomach will make them happy)

The previous 2 days was a total chaos.... i already forgot most of what happened (the classical symptom of sleep deprivation), Let me recall.....

Day 1 night.... the restaurant i chose was a mess... they cant even have the dishes ready in some 30 mins (leave alone for the fact that i have waited 30 mins before the kids arrived just to have the table ready)..... end up eating McDonald's..... In order for the repent, me and Jackie (my buddy in the "cooking" team) went to shop for food at a very uncommon time (it's already some 9 o'clock and most shops are closed....) we're lucky enough to buy some fish balls and curry.... we made some snacks and cooked some noodles.... they're lucky they dont have to sleep with empty stomach~ But it finally end up that i couldnt enjoy the meal myself..... one of the grand kids became so ill that she end up in the A&E department of QM... as a person with some medical knowledge i was asked to see how's she doing (i actually went with a Yr 4 Med Student).... she's quite okay despite for some minor dehydration.... she got a drip and was admitted to the Observation Ward and discharged the next day....

I slept for almost 8 hours that day in order to recover from my tireness...

By the time i wake it's time for the cooking again..... We had minced meat with tofu, grilled cod fish (using my previous recipe) and veggies that night... (i had taken some photos... but i'm too weak to upload them right now, so just keep waiting~) Had no idea preparing food for 30 people is that time consuming and the whole process is just rush, rush and rush (you dun wanna know how we cook the food if you're going to eat it.... LOL) they seemed quite contended with our food (somehow they became more indifferent towards food already, just as long as they're full, that's okay)

After the washing (another 1 to 2 hours) we started the cooking of dessert, sweet soup (not sure how it's supposed to be called, or maybe i'm too tired that i cant find the word, those bean product, Soya "skin" with egg soup??) then we do the washing again... it's another vicious cycle....

After that i need to do that laundry... it took especially long to dry such a large lump of clothes.... that make me end up waking through the whole night and type my journal.... i'm about to cook my breakfast..... after that i'll enjoy my nice and long sleep before doing all the cooking and stuff again~ Till next time. I shall write soon (using shall is an indication of uncertainty)......

I'm still alive (but not for long though~)

I'm glad that i'm still here writing entries during the 10 days long Orientation Camp of my Hall... It's only Day 1 afternoon (the first day start at Day 0), i felt so tired as though i've been through 5 or 6 of sleepless days already....

This year i no longer need the physically challenging part (like standing still for 30 mins during the morning drill or running madly all across Hong Kong)..... but that doesnt mean that's an easy task..... i gotta take care of my group sons and daugthers (they're the leader this year) and grand-kids on their diet and almost everything (a total of 30 plus people)...... last night is my shift for cooking dinner and dessert..... it took me and other 2 people two whole hours just to cook the food (we have Chicken wings (a lot ^^), Scrambled egg with thick tomato paste (you gotta know if you're chinese) and Pork with Chinese cucumber) (forgot to mention the rice with veggies in it..... it's the most problemetic part.... need to do so many procedure in order to get them done.....) luckily they loved the food we prepared....

After dinner it's another nightmare.... the cleaning and washing time.... spent another hour on that again....

Helped out a bit on teaching the cheers to the grandchildren later that night..... then we had sago dessert (once again, an excellent product by me and my buddies ^^)

Didnt sleep till 4 or 5 in the morning.... waking up at 6 again to help with the dishes at breakfast.... (i was more like a house-elf than human..... i spent most of my time in the kitchen, doing all the cooking and cleaning~) (nevermind, making breakfast is quite a good experience.... macaroni with ham~)

Finally tried something new..... i was the interpreter for the opening ceremony of the O camp.... pretty interesting job... but at the same time a challenging one....

After doing the dishes from today's lunch (and cleaning up the pantry for later use)... i am sitting comfortably in my room, treasuring the little free time that i had.... i guess i might sleep for a while before going out to dinner with the kids (finally a meal without fuss)..... i shall write soon~

"Something that didnt sense quite right to me..... am i too suspicious?"
"Have Faith, I believe I can get to the goal someday...... someday....."

Hall O camp~

After some 4 hours later it will be the start of the 10 days long Hall O camp..... It's also the 3rd one i have taken part in.... though this year my role is different (somewhat minor you can say), but that doesnt discourage my devotion into the O camp... just a great feeling when everyone is aiming for the same goal.... dunno what people i'll come across tomorrow, all i can do is just to wait and see~

Cooking for 30 people is a really great challenge.... i must try my best to accomplish that~~

I hope i can write often during the O camp....

Being a fool~

Shopping (and buying??!)

Count down to Hall Orientation Camp - 2 days

I have no idea why i am so into this O camp stuff..... a repent maybe? Anyways, i really enjoyed the time spent with the leaders of Lee Garden.... I am sure this O camp is going to be a successful and a good one~

Played ice hockey today.... Damn the result....

Found some time during the afternoon to have tea with my mom..... i can already predict that i wont go back to home when the O camp starts......

Went shopping at mong kok.... spending a thousand dollars on shoes and clothes..... still got the debts from the credit card usage.... headache~

Damn... this mean i have to buy a new laptop in order to attend class (i'm a die hard desktop user)..... who is the bird-brain behind all these IT teaching stuff....... I receive not a single cent from the university for the laptop..... jackass.....

Untitled....

Suddenly dont want to give this entry a title.... on one hand i'm too tired to think of a title that suit this entry, on the other hand i still havent decided on what to write..... nevermind...

Originally i wanna write something on the Singapore trip as i am looking through the photos i took during the trip.... but i'm afraid that if i write under such condition, i just cant think of the proper words to describe my feelings.... better to leave it till i'm in the right mood~

Simply another tiring day, woke up and tidied up my room (planning for study.... but turns out...), once again helped out for the Hall O camp again.... squeezed some time and went home for dinner tonight... finally have the chance to watch TV drama during dinner~~ Went back and worked all the way till now....

Nevermind.... i guess i better sleep right now..... i'm losing control of what i'm writing now....

A tiresome day....

Feeling really tired right now.... was still recovering from the hangover of last night (i'm too lazy to write about it now.... leave alone to download that photos i took in S'pore...... i promise i'll write about them when i have the time) Sorry that i bothered some of my friends last night.... well.... i'll be fine.....

Helped out in the preparation of Hall O camp today.... just 3 more days to go.....

"Hopes are always nearby if you're willing to look for them"

In Singapore now~

Finally it has come to the last stop of my journey in Singapore after 4 days of fun (and exhausting as well) trip here..... i am currently at the Airport, waiting for my flight that'll take me back to Hong Kong at 4 pm (still got almost 40 mins to go).....

My views of singapore is actually quite positive, it's neat and clean, the people here are nice, English is common here (so unlike hong kong...... that's a really good thing about singapore, i can avoid all those chinese characters in the menu and place order directly in English~~).... the city has brilliant city planning that most of its streets are lined with tall trees that provide good shelter from the stroking heat of South Asia.... Food in here are good (but you can always find better food in Hong Kong though).... Things are more or less the same price as in Hong Kong, and you can find almost the same shops in S'pore as those in Hong Kong..... so i didnt even bother to shop here (that cause a big problem..... i havent bought any souvenirs for my friends..... headache.....)... The so-called Tourist spot are not too attractive though.... I have visited most of the famous tourist spot in S'pore already, the merlion, Sentosa, the singapore zoo.... i shall write more about them in my coming entry.... O, by the way..... i have a taste of probably the most well-known singapore drink..... The Singapore Sling in their famous clubs... It's really joyful~

My internet access is about to run out..... i'm arriving HK in 3 and a half hours.... I'll write soon~

At the airport~

I am currently at the Hong Kong International Airport, time now is 1300 HKG..... I have woken up (being woken up actually) at 10 in the morning and i am still sleepy at this moment~

I went to a really nice place for lunch this afternoon..... It's a shop that you cant normally find in Hong Kong...... i had a really great double cheese burger at the BURGER KING~~~ With all it's HK branches shut down, the one in the airport is the only burger king left here..... Its burger is so great, so original, so American..... (so as it's price, 4.99 USD + tax??)... Nevermind, that burger surely cheer me up, what more can you ask for after such a good meal?

I am now going to look around in the departure area of the airport and my flight will leave at 1345, i'll try to write in Singapore~ Ciao~

Leaving~

Cant really recall what i have done in the last few days.... all i remember is the nonstop playing of movie in my room.... i'm about to run out of stock on my VCDs..... gotta go get some new one someday~ (Any good suggestions?)

Tonight i went to TST and meet with my friends (Jeff, Lo Kai, Dan and Eugene..... pretty much the normal composition of our gang).... we had Curry food as dinner in Chung Hing Tower..... it's a really new experience for me as i have never been to there before.... and the food is quite okay as well~

Jeff is leaving for US soon... dunno if i have the chance to see him again before he leave.... take care, my buddy.... see you again in two years time~ (hopefully)

"思念是一種很玄的東西"..... I just cant get you out of my head.....

I am finally leaving Hong Kong tomorrow, i will try to enjoy myself as much as possible over this tiny break of mine, hope you will see a different me next time~

Getting Older~

Somehow survived the Touch camp.... finally feeling what time has done on me...... my energy level dropped dramatically and staying up all night and enjoy one whole day of activity is no longer possible..... that's why i chose to sleep through the second day of the camp, only waking when it's dinner time~~ Anyways, apart from that, it's quite a good experience~

When i have decided on something, there's nothing to change my mind; when i opted out, please let me be.

Ordinary day~

Nothing serious happened today.... had dinner with SPOC in Mong Kok (great Jap food anyways~) and left early to do some shopping at Wellcome (i can already forsee all my time being eat up by the different O camps and Touch camp.... it's always better to prepare for the worst...), the stock should last me till mid-september, by that time i should be free and life returns to normal~

Browsing through the net tonight.... ran into some really funny facts... try it yourself.....

www.imdb.com

Try to search for "ming na" who's the chinese female doctor in the previous season of "ER"..... check the 14th entry under filmography..... suprising??

Then search "Street Fighter"..... see who's playing Cammy's role~ i just cant believe that~

Nothing happened much over the last 2 days......

Been to the Bay Wave Beach for some sunlight and swim, as its name suggest, it's really a good place for surfing.... should try it next time~

School is about to resume soon..... still got a lot of readings to go......

I was planning to stay home for a few days..... but considering the tight schedule of Hall activities..... that's more like a wish to me....

Cooking Lesson 101~

Living a pretty much idle life lately (and a boring one as well)..... finally have time to experiment with my self-created cooking recipe..... here's a successful one~

TV dinner style - Grilled Cod fish

Ingredients:
1. Frozen Cod Fish (can buy in those supermarket)
2. Herbs (My recommendation for newbie: Italian mixed herbs)
3. Garlic Salt (optional, but perfect for the lazy bones)
4. Butter (doesnt matter, but you'll need a lot of it)

You'll also need a oven~

Cooking:

1. Defrost the cod fish (though this is also optional....) (better to do so if you want to cook something good~)
2. Dry the fish with paper towel
3. Season the fish with herbs and garlic salt (amount depends on your taste)
4. Warp the seasoned fish and a large chunk of butter (essential) by aluminum foil (tight seal)
5. Put it in oven till it's completely cooked (recommended: 250C, 18-20 mins)

The food is ready~ (if you're more demanding on food, you can try to pan-fry the fish so that it taste more crispy)

It taste good, it's easy to prepare (you can even prepare that during commercial time of TV and the fish will be ready by the next commercial break), even a dummy can do it well..... and the best of all, you dun need any dishes or plates in preparation, meaning that you dun even have to do dishes afterwards.... perfect for slacker like me ^^ LOL~

I'm about to go to the beach tomorrow, gotta sleep now, i'll think of some better food (convenient food) next time.... write later~

Normal life....

No intensity, no victory..... already felt the intensity the BDS 3 course brings~ Really need to adopt a orderly lifestyle~

My cousin has left for UK, just wish her all the best~

A passage i read recently, it's good~

年輕人喜歡上了在便利商店打工的女孩,
他每天都會到女孩工作的店裡面買一包香菸,
漸漸的兩人開始互相熟悉,
當女孩工作感到無聊乏味的時候, 或者是心情不好的時候,
年輕人就會出現, 他會陪女孩說說話, 或是逗女孩開心.
女孩也知道年輕人似乎喜歡上自己了,
可是自己已經有很要好的男友,
面對年輕人如此的關懷, 自己也不知道如何婉拒他.
有一天商店外頭運來一台娃娃機,女孩很喜歡裡面的娃娃,
年輕人知道以後,就去夾了一隻娃娃送給女孩,
當天他終於對她表白,希望女孩能接受他,
不知如何是好的女孩,只能殘忍的告訴年輕人,
她和他是不可能的, 因為她已經有深愛的男友了,
年輕人聽了之後默然的點點頭,
只是自己對女孩的喜歡已經超出自己所預期的,
他不死心的問女孩,自己真的沒有機會了嗎?
善良的女孩不忍心看到原本開朗風趣的年輕人變得如此消沉寡歡,
於是她手指著娃娃機裡面的絨毛娃娃說,
除非你夾滿100個娃娃,而且一天只能夾一個.
原來女孩希望用時間來沖淡年輕人對自己的感情,
她心想,一天夾1個娃娃,最快也要三個多月之後才有100個,
而且年輕人應該不會真的有耐心夾滿100個娃娃吧!
這三個月的時間,她會盡量與男孩保持距離,
她決心讓兩人恢復到店員和顧客的關係.
年輕人還是每天到商店來,可是女孩開始變得冷淡,
他總是試著聊一些女孩有興趣的話題,不過女孩依然愛理不理.
因為她知道唯有這樣做,才不會讓年輕人越陷越深.
年輕人或許是感覺到女孩的用意,
於是他每天夾娃娃,
有時運氣好夾一兩次就中了,
有時運氣差,零用錢花光了也夾不到,只好跟朋友借錢繼續夾,一直到夾中為止.
無論花多少錢花多少時間,他每天一定會夾一個娃娃,
只是他無法與女孩分享夾到娃娃的喜悅,
因為他知道女孩有意要避開他,
為了怕引響到女孩的情緒,他只能在櫥窗外頭微笑的對女孩點點頭.
好幾次,看到年輕人因為夾到娃娃興高采烈的樣子,
女孩都想要衝出去對他說,
我是騙你的,你不要再夾了,就算你真的夾到100個娃娃,我跟你也是不 可能的!
但是一想到年輕人希望破滅的樣子,女孩就於心不忍,
她只能不斷猶豫.
就這樣1天,2天,3天..,年輕人的娃娃數量不斷的累積,
而女孩刻意與年輕人保持距離的結果,則是讓自己在工作的時後更顯孤單.
不知道是哪一天,女孩子因為在外地工作的男友無法回來陪她過18歲的 生日,
與男友吵了一架,
而那天年輕人仍一如往常的來到便利商店,
不同的是那天年輕人竟走進了店裡,
他對女孩說,
可不可以破例讓他在今天夾兩個娃娃回去,
可是因為和男友吵架而心情不佳的女孩,很生氣的當場拒絕了他.
就這樣,年輕人走到娃娃機旁,默默的夾了一個娃娃回去,
在年輕人離開的時後,他對櫥窗裡的女孩看了一眼.
隔天以後,年輕人再也沒來夾娃娃了.
剛開始女孩雖然覺得奇怪,但是仍然慶幸自己終於放下了心中的大石頭 .
可是漸漸的,她突然覺得不習慣,
因為那個每天都會為了她來夾娃娃的熟悉背影, 好像空氣一樣就消失不見了,
這時女孩才發現到,原來她心中的失落感遠遠超過年輕人所帶給她的負擔.
只是一切都... 女孩開始想念以前年輕人來店裡陪她聊天的點點滴滴.
哪怕他只是站在櫥窗外頭沉默不語的夾娃娃, 似乎都會帶給她莫名的安全感.
所以女孩每天上班時,總是不斷的抬頭張望, 那個熟悉的身影來了嗎?
可惜的是,年輕人始終沒出現,只剩下那台沒人使用的娃娃機.
有一天,女孩下班後,在店門口遇到了以前常和年輕人一起來的朋友, 她焦急的問他年輕人的下落,可是年輕人的朋友則是一臉黯然,
他帶女孩來到年輕人的家,
當他開啟年輕人的房間的門時,映入女孩眼簾的是
一群娃娃機裡面的絨毛娃娃,
以及躺在床上動也不動的年輕人.
原來年輕人的脊椎有病,必須要開刀才能保住生命,
可是開刀有一半的機率會失敗而導致全身癱瘓,
年輕人在開刀的前一天晚上,也就是女孩和男友大吵一架的那天,
希望女孩給他機會夾2個娃娃,因為他已經累積有98個了,
然而卻遭到女孩的回絕,
隔天之後年輕人手術不幸失敗變成植物人,
年輕人的母親拿了一封信給女孩,那是年輕人在手術之前寫好的:
其實我早就知道,就算夾到了100個娃娃,
妳也不可能會喜歡我,
我之所以這麼做並不是故意要造成妳的困擾,
而是希望在我有限的時間裡,
證明我曾經很用心的去愛一個人,
這樣就足夠了,
如果妳看到了這封信,
那表示我再也無法為你夾娃娃了, 對不起, 或許我的努力還不夠吧,
沒能夾到100個娃娃親手送給你..
女孩看著床邊的99個絨毛娃娃,那是99顆無法承受的真心,
眼眶裡的淚水早已決堤而出...
隔天女孩來到年輕人的家,
她將第100個絨毛娃娃放到年輕人的手中, 這時已經變成植物人的他, 眼睛流下了淚水...

What do you think?

Air ticket confirmed~

I'll be leaving town from 20th of August for 4 days, just a short trip..... if there's any gathering or reunion, please do it quick, i'll not be available after that period as O camp is starting~

Another slothful day...... woke up by Sally's call at noon.... fell asleep again till 4 something.... then went out to TST and join with my friends for dinner..... eating non-stop..... pretty much a normal day~

Currently realizing that i have reached my limits in some of my skills (eg. my ice hockey skill).... it's a bad feeling that for the first time i cant feel any improvement even if i work hard on it.... time to think of ways to push over that barrier......

Passport~

Another exhausting day.... waking up early in the morning and go to the British Consulate for the renewal of my passport.... a very effective but expansive procedure.... if there isnt the need of travel in the summer i will be very pleased not to renew it and let it expire~

Afternoon went to meet with the dental juniors.... cant believe 1 whole year has gone.... soon there will be new people joining the dental family..... (and i'm about to be a more senior student there~~)

Afternoon... just felt that i had all the documents ready and i went to Wan Chai to get my HKSAR passport..... you know, keep a spare travel document just in case..... spending money again.....

Have no idea why my summer seems to pass so quickly.... gotta do something apart from the normal routine of play and sleep~

It's late again, probably time to sleep.... i got nothing to do tomorrow so i'm about to have my long deserved sleep~ write next time~

No time left~

Totally exhausted after a whole day of work..... technically speaking, it's not work afterall.... just all sorts of tedious stuff combined....

Lack of sleep last night as i tidied up my room (though i didnt clean it tonight, i still sleep late.... darn~).... woke up in a miraculous time of the day and went to Mong Kok for the celebration of my schoolmate..... had pretty much fun there having Korean Grill as lunch and shopped a while too~

Then got my hair cut in the afternoon.... clean and fresh right now~ but still very resemble to the previous style~

Finally got my passport photo taken..... i'll have to wake in the hellish time in the morning tomorrow and renew my passport.....

Meetings, Reunions, Stuff to work on....... all these are eating my free time away..... just cant stand it anymore~

Too tired to write now.... write soon~

Summer Time~

Really enjoying myself over the past 2 days..... but recently have realized a need to do a bit of revison (after slacking off for 2 whole years, it's not too inapproptiate to start reading some textbooks, right?)

Went for swimming for the first time in a few years (when was the last time i swam? probably sometime when i'm in grade 6).... swimming is so great, good exercise and fun as well, it's time i buy some proper swim gear (i dun even have my goggles) and swim more often.

Happy Birthday to Yvonne, my dear groupmate~ Our group is having lunch tomorrow @ mongkok.....

Really wanted to have a new haircut.... especially before getting my passports.... (planned to go aboard for a short trip.... singapore maybe?)

Write tomorrow~

Trip to Lantau~

It's been quite a while before i last updated.... have been enjoying my holiday (or more exactly, my life) these few days~ Life just cant be better~

Thursday, continued on the "Full Metal Alchemist", finally finishing it... from my point of view, this manga is trying to point out that this world is so cruel, though you have spent so much effort on something, it does guarantee you'll get something from it... but yet... it might not be the same one as you wished for.... um..... pretty interesting.....

Friday, the day for the long awaited Lantau camp..... gambling, drinking, blathering..... all the vice of life you can name.... but yet we're really enjoying it (participants include me, Jeff, Lo Kai, Dan, Eugene and Ronald)..... we can basically put all our worries behind and simply enjoy life there~

Saturday, the camp goes on.... but i went out in the morning and have lunch with my cousin, who's leaving soon to Manchester for studies again.... just wish her all the best~

Night time, the party goes on in Lantau (Daniel is the birthday boy) and we just lost count how many shots of liquor we had for the night because of the stupid dice game..... great times....

Sunday.... went to meet with Jonathan, Kathy, Sally and Samuel in TST, we really treasured the time we had together (we did nothing actually, but it's great though) we end up having Jap food in Hung Hom..... really full right now~

I guess it's time to sleep now..... just felt that i cant put my words into a sensible paragraph~ i'll write soon~
