Weekend and first A shift.

Weekend was okay.

Procrastinated as usual on Saturday Afternoon.

Was supposedly back in the office to clear files.... but you know... sleep and games always prevail.

Saturday night went out with Angela, Yvonne, Bean and Mei mei.... it's good to catch up once in a while.

Was at Biergarten... my minds drifted to some more important things...

=

Caught a drink with Michelle at TST promenade... feels just like the old days in secondary school...

A good conversation is just like a good ole bottle of wine... make you feel tipsy.

Thanks for the chat.

=

Though the conversation was cut short as I had to work as a volunteer in the UNICEF run held at Disneyland... boarding bus at 0330 hours to Lantau was something I've never done before.

In every major event there's always a group of people dedicating hours of preparation time.... and I'm proud to say it's finally done.

=

Non-stop sleeping on Sunday... 1300 till 0500 the other day....

Told you I am very good 'in bed'.

I can sleep for ages.

=

Monday.

Feel refreshed after such prolonged sleep.

And a good McDonald to start the day.

Little did I know it was the only calmness before the storm.

My first ever day taking in cases as Officer-in-charge of CID team...

7 new cases, with no arrest... Working from 0700 hours till 2300 hours....

Even my new boss think I'm of bad luck...

Well... I love challenges... I must survive and thrive.

=

Better sleep now. Tomorrow will be another long day.

Past two weeks... Life as a criminal.

It's been really tough clearing the 'dead' files that were literally unmoved since I took up the post.... but at least, I need to pretend I have worked a bit on it... deception? Yes, a bit...

Some surprise to know the inspector who was supposedly taking my post got blocked in the very last minute.... my replacement was someone I'm not very fond of... well... that certainly cut all my motivation to reduce his workload...

=

Friday night. A happy chong gathering with my WUS buddies.

It's really good to see most of them, though busy, but in good shape.

Congrats to Stephen and Wing who got married in Guam.

Time flies, really...

A quick drink at Henry House... I promise next time I will find a white wine less sweet ^^

Hope to see each other soon.

=

Saturday.

A date I've been longing for...

TST promenade was particularly gorgeous on that day... magic colour in the skies with the autumn breeze... feels like paradise.

If I were to remember only one thing in life, I will never forget the sweetness of the greentea frappaccino.

=

Later that night I worked at James' flat in preparation for his wedding... nothing too much... but just helping out some tasks.

The night joined Kennon at his place for the usual activities.... when was the last time I stayed up the whole night?

=

Sunday.

Unexpected turnout by James...

Woke by noon and helped out the wedding, which would be held on the next day.

Never imagine it's such tedious task... and that I'll have my three meals at 'Tan Tai Fung' dumplings.....

Rushed out to buy my suit at G2000 (little did I know it wont last very long)

=

When the things were set, I head back to home and had a good night sleep before waking up early as the 'best man'...

Some brotherly chat prior to his crunch time...

We endured a lot of hardship and had been 'played' by the sisters gang...

We poised and took some excellent photos...

Well, frankly, attending wedding could be quite fun too.

=

Mr. and Mrs. CHAN.

So great to see you two have overcome many hardship and unite as husband and wife on that special night.

May you two have happy, prosperous and long married life.

I hope I can be the godfather of your children~

=

The banquet... glad it's finally over....

Once I was relieved of my duties, the crazy part of me took over my body and caused an excessive intake of alcohol in short amount of time....

If you dont know what excessive is... waking up in a hospital at 7 the other day without any recollection of what happened the night before is probably a definition of it...

Shit... crazy life... even up till now I have no idea what/who get the better of me.

I could have messed things up.... and I hereby apologize... hope it's not something major.

And by the way... if anyone got any photos/clips that show what exactly happened on that night, I dont mind seeing them.... it must be pretty fun, just like the situation in that Hangover movie.

=

Tuesday.

Supposedly a work day...

But the alcohol in the brain and body forced me to sleep through the day time... I opt to do so in my office such that my boss wont get mad because of my absence...

Bloodshot eyes, clothes with alcohol stench, pale face and disorientation must make me a pretty scary figure... crazy, simply crazy...

=

Wednesday till Friday.

My first taste in Crime investigation.

Though I was not actively taking up new cases, but going over the files gave me some ideas of it.... should be quite fun, but must be a torturous job...

Am I up to the challenge?

I've got every excuse to be laid back and just defer my files (afterall, I only stand in for few weeks).... but if I were the one doing this.... that's probably me...

Just hope to do the best I can on everything.

No pain, no gain, right?

=

Thanks Michelle for her counselling... LaSallian is in fact, have great resembelence to the personality of a LEO...

Honour is everything.

But am I putting the focus on the right thing?

Career? Home? Love?

I wish to know.

Monday and Tuesday.

With some effort over the past weeks (really long week, weeks after weeks, it must have been four continuous weeks of non-stop working).... I finally manage to clear my urgent files and get my work schedule under control....

That's why I went out with Horace on Monday night in celebration for his new job.

Picked up our old times at a game arcade, a causal dinner at Ashley Road, TST and then spend the night at TST promenade sipping beer and chat... it's just so good.

Have faith in yourself buddy. There's nothing wrong on yourside.

=

My life changed totally just because of a word.

Yes.

Looking forward.

Pick up lines... and smart replies.

Man: I know how to please a woman.
Woman: Then please leave me alone.

=

Man: I want to give myself to you.
Woman: Sorry, I don't accept cheap gifts.

=

Man: May I see you pretty soon?
Woman: Don't you think I'm pretty now?

=

Man: Your hair color is fabulous.
Woman: Thank you. It's on aisle three at the corner drug store.

=

Man: You look like a dream.
Woman: Go back to sleep.

=

Man: I can tell that you want me.
Woman: Yes, I want you to leave.

=

Man: Hey, baby, what's your sign?
Woman: Do not enter. or Stop.

=

Man: I'd go through anything for you.
Woman: Let's start with your bank account.

=

Man: May I have the last dance?
Woman: You've just had it.

=

Man: I would go to the end of the world for you.
Woman: Yes, but would you stay there?

=

Man: Your place or mine?
Woman: Both. You go to your place, and I'll go to mine.

=

Man: Your body is like a temple.
Woman: Sorry, there are no services today.

=

Man: Is this seat empty?
Woman: Yes, and this one will be too if you sit down.

=

Man: What's it like being the most beautiful girl in the bar?
Woman: What's it like being the biggest liar in the world?

=

Man: Haven't I seen you someplace before?
Woman: Yeah, that's why I don't go there anymore.

=

Man: If I could see you naked, I'd die happy.
Woman: If I could see you naked, I'd die laughing.

Weekend.

Life is hectic lately, as usual.

=

Nothing much on Thursday,took a leave day compensating for election day's hard work. Brother is back and hang out with him for a while, and dinner with family that night.

=

Friday, back to work in holiday mood.

Lunch, DDC get by and celebrate the success of dragon boat team... another social function...

Met the LaSallian senior Andrew Li at DOJ. Hopefully there will be more chances of cooperation.

Josephine of WUS moved to DOJ for work... since I was in admiralty, I find her for a quick drink. And I'm glad to find Ada to join us as well.

When will the WUS people get together again?

Worked till midnight on Friday, to get rid of most file (still got loads though) and to allow myself in procrastinating over the weekend.

=

Saturday

Yum Cha with Alvin and Angie etc at Holiday Inn, TST. Food is decent the price is.... outrageous.

An early happy hour by TST promenade.... lovely weather.

Later that night I attended the retirement party of a Sergeant... it's really impressive to spend 35 years on one single job... I should probably learn from him on this aspect.

After the dinner me and my inspector mates went for another round of drink at the "Pawn", Wan Chai. Pretty posh place... And I'm glad we had such a conversation that night.

=

Sunday...

As my farewell... Me and the staff of MESU went to Police College for BBQ... not just the usual meat and wings BBQ... we are cooking cuttlefish, crabs, clams and tiger prawns.... totally luxurious.

Glad to invite Emma and Ling for the dinner as well... and my parents and brother...

Learning to let them know about my work and life... it's gonna take some time.

But it's a good night... totally full~

Spilling my heart out.

Work is.... still partially stuck... I am just doing my best to do what I must do... and I have stalled in anything extra.... I've been rather lazy at work lately, maybe rightly so.... coz boss is simply torturing my every work....

Thank you for bearing all my ranting this afternoon... I must learn to smile.

=

Dinner with my dental-mate Angela. Originally I have Jo along as well but her apthous ulcers were just too severe... (i understand completely after my sickness last week).... So get well soon and meet next time la.

Had a really late dinner in Causewaybay... forgot when was the last time we had dinner like this... never after university I guess....

Counting back, it's been 8 years since we get to know each other.... I really couldnt think of a better person to share my feelings/puzzles lately.

Thank you for listening and it's always good to have you as my friend.

I probably need to be a bit proactive.

=

Wasted another opportunity tonight... is it fate?

But I'm glad you asked.

沈佳宜... Every man got his own 沈佳宜 in heart.... but will my destiny fare better than portraited?

Busy busy.

Busy... this seems the main theme of this blog already.

Nothing much last week. Again buried my head into my pile of files... seriously, I needed a break from this post.... things are just getting too tedious lately... and I hated it.

Received my tax slip last week and I have got a strong feeling that I am being robbed... gor civil servant, we don't get to paid 13 months salary nor bonus... yet we are so lowly paid when considering our money to workload ratio... now you are telling me I got robbed of 1.5 months salary? Why should I even bother to work?

I chose the right thing in leaving office sharp on time on Thursday and Friday. Dinner in TST at a decent Italian restaurant, then had dinner and drink with sam, alvin, jeff and andy (and partners) in lkf... we ran into Michael wan, Jonathan tang and Gary leung, our high school buddies alongway... really, it's always good catching up with life long buddies like them... am I getting really old now?

Idle Saturday at home and dinner with family.

Got to work on a good ole Sunday for district council election... really bored task...

Dunno why boss got pissed today. Having the power to control everything doesn't mean you are successful... it's just a sign you are a control freak.

Passed my first standard 3 paper... still got 3 more to go...

Still... a bit disappointed as I thought I could have achieved a better result.... well... am I suited to this place?

Weakness...

Remeber a local movie sometimes ago, Alex Fong once said, "My weakness is having a memory too good."

I concur with this saying completely...

=

Some memories are just etched too deeply to completely forget...

Any minor trigger is going to stir it up again, as vivid as yesterday...

Out of some thirty thousand firearms in Police Force, how come it's that unique five number that I get?

分身術 - 容祖兒

Thank you Wyman.

=

It's been a really busy week... a compensation for slacking off last week?

=

Glad to know you're finally back... Had fun?
