History repeats itself.

Was sleepy on Friday... because of the little sleep time that I had the night before.

Got compliment at big boss level... but my direct boss still gave me hard time...

Cant please everyone, can I?

Working and working hard the whole day...

Originally I wanted to head home early... but boss forced me to attend the inspector association dinner... I head there rather reluctantly... though the food was okay... but being there was really boring...

Fortunately after dinner, I catch the crazy dentists for a short gathering... a karoke session in TST... it's been several years since I sang... it's so much fun.

Guys and gals, we should have more of such quality times.

=

It's been so long I catch a decent sleep. I had an excellent one on Saturday morning (it could have been better if I turned down the offer for lunch)...

Lunch with Horace at East... a two dish course... spend idly there for the afternoon... simply lovely.

History repeats itself...

Once again, I have gone missing for my friend's dinner... only to be somewhere else...

I made the choice on my own free will...

Staring down from the balcony of Elements at TST.... the view was simply gorgeous.

Dreamcatcher is supposed to give sweet dreams to others, right?

=

Had a sleepless night... because I stayed at Jeff's place for Champions League's final.... with Barca convincingly beating manure 3:1....

Excellenet mauling~

=

Bro is back, again.

Went for tea and then a walk with my cousins and grandma at the park...

Wow, I've never imagine looking after the kids can be so exhausting...

=

Monday...

Lunchtime wasted as it was district lunch again...

Stayed till late... but still.... unproductive...

Gotta step up, again.

=

Logging onto MSN is the only thing that I look forward everyday.

無人拉又話唔搏,拉人又話做得多~老闆!你想點呀?

Very angry!

Was doing licence check todat and spotted a case of breach of arms licence condition... worked so hard just to make sure things were right...

What did I get? Jeers and criticism from boss...




Damn.

容祖兒,李克勤 - 刻不容緩

古巨基 - 愛得太遲

Being number one... is it really important?

Yes... I know... it's been another week since I wrote... I literally got this place abandoned for some time...

Life's okay lately.

Friday... Nothing much.... clearing files, chatting here and there and makes the day.

It's been a joyful ride home cause I was travelling with a colleague... In this job there's really very little time for human contact, coz everyone is just so task-oriented (and frankly, the so-called social function really isnt a good time to socialize... especially with all the bosses around).

Was kept under a large piece of gloomy cloud on weekend... not for any reason... but just blues and depression... probably because of the rain? Incessant heavy rain all day long... The mood was so bad that I even skipped a date with the police classmates...

Monday, a usual tiring day... files seems endless... But it's just work... I have decided to raise a notch in my training regime... starting from that day... a bit extra dumbbell weight couldnt kill, right?

Tuesday... woke up with a bit of drowsiness... I knew something was wrong... again.... a non-stop working day without knowing what I have done...

By afternoon I got a full-fledged histamine attack, also known as allergic rhinitis... Feeling bad...

Dinner with Kennon... it's been good seeing him... especially at times of uncertainty.

Wednesday... a day of eating...

Breakfast in Tsui Wai Restaurant, lunch at stanley, tea with dessert from Jenny's Bakery, dinner with a few colleagues... I'm so full now...

During dinner conversation, my colleagues gave me some useful advice... it's true, probably I need to stop procastinating and be more proactive. Starting tonight?

Finally found what I've been looking for in few weeks time... but as always, something I like usually dont come easy, nor cheap...

My wallet is much thinner now.

=

Suddenly had this thought during bath... is it really important to be number one?

I use to think this way, and my mindset was further strengthened in my days in La Salle and University...

But looking back, what does it mean?

Hapiness, yes, but is it long-lasting?

Fame, yes, but do I need it?

Sense of achievement? Is it the only way to get it?

Dont get me wrong, I'm not asking one to behave as if they dont give a shit to things... I always believe doing the task to the fullest.... pretty much like working out in gym, challenging your own limits....

There's really not much point to be comparing to others...

Just be yourself and work hard... that's it.

It's been another week.

Life has pretty much stalled lately...

It's been another week since I last wrote...

Um.... nothing too much this week.

Been interviewed by big boss... the usual thing... the annual apprasial is nothing but a drama show...

Gave up work and went for a dinner with Jeff and Alvin in TST...

Weekend...

Good sleep on saturday.... dinner went to Tai Hang for dinner....

Quite interesting bistro in that area... must find the chance to try them.

And thanks for the present, though I have yet to unwrap it.

Sunday... woke up with a bit of dizziness and nausea... really bad...

I hate that feeling...

Monday...

Boss is away...

Finally have the time to do my files in peace...

Tuesday...

Boss' still away...

Sneaked out early for a basketball match... it's quite fun.

Wednesday...

Again.... boss's away...

After three days of tranquility.... I can finally have the time to clear the files lodged in the bottom of my intray...

Progress was good.

Had a good sleep that night as I dont have to wake early the following morning... my neck strain eased a bit because of that.

Thursday...

At one point I was so happy that I've finally cleared all files in intray.... but the next second I was let down as my boys gave me a new pile of files....

C'est la vive.

Head out for a random walk in causewaybay and ran into Jo.... thanks for accompanying me in my quest to find a 'dreamcatcher'...

I would better sleep soon.

=

So near... yet so distant...

A little help, anyone?

范瑋琪 - 黑白配



This song is even more attractive after knowing the background of the song.

林俊傑 / 張惠妹 - 記得



Composer got his own mark on the song...

Though I still love the version by 張惠妹 more.

周杰倫 - 即興創作



If one say he's talented, he should better see this first.

Improvise to the extreme...

Hot weather.

Thursday, nothing much day...

Busy getting the files done...

No gym day as it was really too hot... totally melting temperature.

=

Friday...

Not-too-productive day...

Went to see big big boss today for my annual report, he's a nice guy but his words are easily predictable.... a year in crime later this year, learn as much as I can... stuff like that...

What's important... I get my point of increment.

If this year's salary raise is really 6% as proposed, that shall compensate my workload to a slightly reasonable level.

=

Not intended to stay any extra minute on a friday afterwork, I left sharp and meet up with Jeff and Alvin in TST... happy times.

=

Had a very lazy Saturday...

When was the last time I had an uninterrupted sleep?

Dinner head out to Tai Hang in a tiny bistro.... the food is okay...

Passed by a rather interesting dessert shop...

When will I have the chance to visit there?

=

Got the drive to step up a bit in my body building... found a couple of good training clips on youtube tonight...

I wish to evolve.

Premier League Winner.

Learn to respect your opponent.

Manchester United had demostrated they are worthy winner of this year's premier league, a record 19th champion of the event, and they have surpassed the prestigious Liverpool in number.

Liverpudlians, dont be upset, we have had our past glory. And the future under the "King" Kenny Dalglish's stead looks promising.

"The past belonged to Liverpool, the present to United.

But the future is up for grabs."

YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE!

In/Out tray.

Sunday...

Relaxing day at home... It's really great resting after a full week's work.

Monday...

Again... feeling the stress of files piling up... really, the feeling of being defeated...

Afternoon went for a training course... it's more like a criticism meeting from DOJ against police force... well... whatever.

I took the chance to get off a bit early and ended up at Jo's clinic... had some really great dessert in a nearby shopping mall.... dinner ended up with Jo and Ken, such funny combination.

Tuesday...

Day off...

Craving for sweet food...

Wanted to join pastry class.... anyone interested? Homemade cheese cake seems nice ^^

Wednesday...

By the time I wake, it's already 8ish... fortunately boss was not here today...

Monitored an autopsy for a borderline suspicious case.... turns out it's nothing... but it's a good chance to learn and provide training for my staff...

Was burning on full throttle the whole day in clearing files.... when I felt I've done a lot... I saw a large pile of files had accumulated on my in-tray... with most deadline by this week...

When will I get over such hardship?

I'd probably sleep soon.... tomorrow will be another long day.

P.S. Pirates of the Carribbeans... Looking forward.

Stalled...

Friday...

Though I only got off work 6ish... I need to pop back for work again at noon...

Still.... half asleep when I got back for lunch...

One thing to brighten the day was the compliment from the DDC...

I hope this is the first of many more.

=

It's quite crazy that despite working non-stop the whole day.... there're still a lot of files piled up on my desk.... what must I do?

=

Spent a few hundred dollars eating with the team, as part of the celebration for the successful operation the night before...

Jumpo prawn and salmon sashimi.... in the canteen?

I can feel the people staring.... is it really a bit too extravagant?

=

Saturday

Need to work in the police console as the supervisor...

Nice experience... multi-tasking to the fullest...

But frankly... it's a bit boring... I think a few months of stay is okay, but anything longer than that.... well.... maybe not.

=

Once you've developed the habit... it's so had not to think about it...

More of the old good times?

拉登的結論:中國是全世界唯一惹不起的國家!

拉登不滿中國與美國「勾結」,惱恨北京當局鐵腕鎮壓新疆回教兄弟,於是派出精幹弟子,潛入中國,準備發動恐怖襲擊。

第一個恐怖分子乘火車抵達廣州,剛步出火車站就遇上飛車黨劫匪,存放炸彈的背包被搶走,只能呆望遠去的劫匪背影。

第二人到北京炸巴士,在車站等了很久終於有巴士進站,但中國人一窩蜂湧到車門,恐怖分子還想排隊,終於可登車了,卻被人一腳踹下去,再也擠不上,無功而還。

第三人要炸上海的政府大樓,剛進入門口就被保安攔住,保安一頓拳腳將他打翻在地,並惡狠狠的說:「叫你鬧事,叫你上訪!」

第四個是女恐怖分子,她被派去人口最多的河南,在鬧市引爆炸彈,但剛到河南就被人販子看上,被拐賣到山區做村民的夫人。

第五個恐怖分子到山西當礦工,並帶着炸彈到礦井,成功引爆,製造驚天礦難,幾百名中國礦工死亡。他潛回阿富汗向拉登報告,但拉登幾天後將他槍斃,因為拉登一直沒看到相關報道,誤以為他在撒謊邀功。

最後,拉登決定從娃娃抓起,在中國找來剛出生的嬰兒,準備從小培養他們,沒想到喝的都是三聚氰胺毒奶,死的死、病的病,不僅沒成才,還用了他大筆經費去看病。

經過這些挫折,拉登的結論就是:中國是全世界唯一惹不起的國家。

Just for a laugh.

Operation...

"Operation successful.... but the patient died."

Sorry... suddenly remember this stupid gag.

Yea, the operation i command ended up as a success...

Never imagine the arrested persons will apologize for causing us trouble... Disclaimer: I really didnt beat up those guys, neither did my staff)

Hopefully, this will be an open and shut case.

=

Have no idea why my precedent left such a mess for me in the similiar case.... but still, I should thank him for shaping me up and be ready for this kind of operation.

=

At least now, I have one less item on my mind.

=

It's really late now and I will work in four hours, I'd better sleep. Shall write more next time.

=

Being a Taurus, I kept holding on to things... even things in the past...

Sentiments, regrets...

"You can only hold a bit in your clenched fists; by releasing them, you embrace the world."

It's time for me to learn.

Empty Office.

A day of solitary at office todaya.

All my staff went for training, while my boss went to give training to them.... I'm the only one left in the office...

Not a productive day, but it's not a bad day either.

It's such a sunny day today... I cant resist the calling of pulling out a crouch onto the balcony and enjoy a cup of coffee, while I blast the music at full volume...

Life is good, my friend.

PS. Jason Mraz - I'm Your's on my computer the whole day.

=

Operation tomorrow... wish me luck.

First day back.

As expected...

First day back in office is.... slow.

Feels like the world is crumbling...

Piles after piles of files left...

Was in quite a bad mood...

=

All these changed after lunch, when I had a jog to deep water bay and enjoy a swim there.... was so exhausted when I finish the run but immensing into the deep blue was great... so refreshing.

With a better mood, the productivity increased as well...

Cleared some files that had been sitting on my desk for months....

Although I still had many outstanding cases, I know have an idea on the exact numbers of them.... that's a progress.

=

Feeling so tired tonight.... totally passed out while travelling on the bus... side effect of extensive exercise lately?

=

It's such a happy chat tonight~

Long weekend.

Suddenly... I felt like I might have phobia + panic attack...

Friday...

Work, as usual...

Boss was in good mood and my life was easy... I proposed to conduct license check against the 'Internet cafe' (which did not require a license, but I just want to know the situation in my division and to be prepared for the possible legislation) and foot massage premises (falls in grey area mostly... coz many times the messeur served opposite sex client for body massage).... dunno if the boss was too bored and the fact that the big bosses were away, he joined for my morning stroll.... fortunately nothing out-of-hand happened that day...

Afternoon.... was supposed to clear the files but once again slacked... had a strong desire to leave the office (was it because of the rain? so gloomy the whole morning...) I ended up leaving on time-off....

Could have seen you at CU... but missed opportunity again.

Nevermind... I'm glad you're satisfied with the presentation.

=

Saturday, the first of three days rest day...

Nothing too much on saturday.... sleeping late etc.

=

Sunday

Went out in the evening with Kennon for dinner...

Head for movie spontaneously and picked 'source code'...

Innovative idea and plot.... the movie style was a bit like Christopher Nolan's... though there's a bit of flaw behind the science concept.... but it's just an entertaining sci-fi movie, isnt it?

Suddenly had a wild idea in mind... me and Kennon jogged along the promenade to Sau Kei Wan and back... it's a bit like the days in university... running in the middle of the night? You must be kidding me....

But it's good experience.

=

Monday...

once again, woke up late.

A bit of this and a bit of that...

Had dinner with family for celebration of Mother's day and the birthday of grandma...

Large birthday buns, again.

Later that night chatted with grandma... she's a lovely old grandma... I wish her well with my best wishes.

=

Surprised to know that you've seen the movie too~

When will the good blockbuster be on? Looking forward~

=

Work again tomorrow... 4 days work week again~
