Emi Fujito - Longer
Longer than there've been fishes
In the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars
Up in the heavens
I've been in love with you.
Stronger than any mountain cathedral
Truer than any tree ever grew
Deeper than any forest primeval
I am in love with you.
I'll bring fires in the winters
You'll send showers in the springs
We'll fly through the falls and summers
With love on our wings.
Through the years as the fire
Starts to mellow
Burning lines in the book of our lives
Though the binding cracks and the
Pages start to yellow
I'll be in love with you.
Longer than there've been fishes
In the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars
Up in the heavens
I've been in love with you
I am in love with you...
Angelic voice.

Good Monday.
Maybe I was just the workalcoholic deep inside me...
I felt a bit of delight when going back to office for work.
It's kind of sick.... but on a positive thought, I loved my job thus far.
=
Morning was devilish.... eyes glued together from the lack of sleep...
Boss was kind enough... nothing too much the whole day.
Breakfast as usual before Jason and Angel (my inspector friends) called and ask me out for lunch...
We had a brief lunch in Nam Long Shan... happy times.
Call me when you have time for dinner, I can show you around in Aberdeen. Seafood, anyone?
=
Once again, plan did not work out well...
Wanted to clear files, but I ended up noting one of the troublesome, triad-related bar's liquor licence was expired.... enquiry with liquor licencing board revealed no renewal had been done.
Bingo. Time for some actions.
=
I stayed in the bar for 20 minutes and was smoked like a smoked salmon...
Finally got the warning done.
Little did I know the amount of paperwork that follow....
Nevermind. Everything is a learning process.
=
I end up leaving the office at around 9ish...
It's good that I finally got some files KO'ed.
Still 3 large files and more smaller ones... must do my best tomorrow.
=
Someone's in a jubliant mood today... possibly from the day off?
Positive emotions always spread like disease... And I can feel it too.
Lovely.

Get a grip.
It's been a lazy week, again.
Friday... it's basically a day wasted...
Only notable was the 'unlicensed school' case referred from Education Bureau.
Had lunch with boss in Ap Lei Chau... seafood as usual.
Worked a while and it's district happy hour...
Once again.... work got piled up.
I hate that feeling.
=
Friday dinner... had a meal with my long lost friend...
It's great seeing you again.
Seems like we both face problems lately... be strong and we shall overcome the problems.
All the best, mate.
Thanks for the drink at "Sugar". We can hang out anytime.
=
Saturday... started the day badly as I was awake by the drilling from above.... when'll they finish their god-damn renovation.... it's been months already.
A lazy afternoon... then head out for dinner in Mong kok...
=
On my way back I ran into another long-lost friend... but I'm sorry to say he's kinda weird... a funny encounter?
=
It's great knowing you'll have a long holiday (relatively long), have fun and looking forward to seeing you.
=
Sunday... not a good day.
Time wasted mostly.
It's time to get a grip on myself.
=
Dirk Kuyt gave me something to cheer about~
Liverpool 3:1 Man Utd.
You'll Never Walk Alone.
=
Received a phone call tonight, from yet another old friend...
It's only today that I know what you're thinking in your mind...
You seems to have grown a lot, did you notice?
But still, your happy character is still there :)
=
I am, at a crossroad again.
I can't see the exit yet...
All I can do is to do my best in everything... and to wait till the future unfold itself.

Thursday.
Nothing much at work...
Been busy whole day clearing files...
Really really busy.... but without really knowing what I've done.
=
Today my boss told me to be less tense with my tasks.... am I really over doint it?
=
Night...
Enjoyed a good night out with an old friend.
Sometimes, something just never change. Like friendship.
I cant believe is 7 years already.
It's been joyful tonight.

Diligent.
Working hard alone is no use...
Must learn to work smart...
I felt defeated by tonnes of files that went through my intray today...
But, still one point I should feel happy for.... my legal cover had passed the big boss' scrutiny.... and it's good to go.
One less issue to worry about.
=
Nothing much else today...
It's been normal.
Gym is good in the afternoon.
=
Dated a few friends for dinner in the coming days... it's time I re-live a normal social life.

Hectic.
As explained yesterday, I started the day with a slight handicap.... My intray was already full when I first set foot in my office.
That wouldnt be such a problem if my boss will let me be and work my file through...
After I submit my 'amended and amended' legal advice cover report to him around noon.... he thought it'd be nice if I can give some lectures to all uniformed branch staff on how to handle a scene of death... given my medical background...
Well, on this aspect, he's absolutely right... I did have the expertise in forensic science... but he wanted the presentation to be done at 3 in the afternoon.....
Just 3 hours left for a presentation that is going to last for 30 mins, with 100 audiences?? That's a bit too much, isnt it?
"It's simple, just a few power point slides will do." <- How dare you dream of ppt as well?
"Please also amend the checklist for handling death case." <- Boss, how many pair of hands do you think I have? Are you out of your mind??
Screw it.... I'm the kind of staff who wont say no to boss.
I used my own way to relieve stress.... grabbing two colleagues and put on my running shoes... a short jog to deep water bay is good.
During the jog I basically had the skeleton of the topics laid out.... I basically stopped the operation of my whole unit just to cater for this unnecessary/outrageous demand.
Inbetween 1400 hours and 1500 hours.... I'm a writer, a thinker, a commander, a manager, a typist, an angry man and a depressed small potato, all in one. Fortunately with the help of my colleages, the tasks were completed just 'in/on' time.
When I took the stage, my scripts were still hot from the laser printer....
The presentation goes alright... it's good that I still have some tricks up my sleeve that I could 'wow' the crowd (given that some of them are old serving officers.... they've seen it)
I'm not too satisfied with the quality of powerpoint.... but given the effort, I can have no complaint.
=
My mind drifted back to the days in college/university.
The 'what the hell' attitude had pushed me to the same corner many times before.
Messing around in pantry till late (5 in morning), only to remember I got a presentation at 9 later that day....
A can of red bull and some half hour work.... I got an B and some who've worked the whole week only got C....
Been chilling out in LKF or playing MJ with floormates right before the day of final year 1/2 exam... a good McDonald breakfast as starter and my exams were fine...
Procrastinating as I struggled whether to continue studying Year 5 Dental.... when I gave up my all and lived a 'social withdrawal' life....
Only in the last minute that I got some inspiration.... I should not waste my life...
One weekend... I rushed up a log case report that sums up my 5 years of training and my elective studies...
I even get distinction for the Viva exam....
Those were the days....
Really memorable experience...
It seems, man's potential got driven to the fullest extent at the time of crisis.
And I'm glad I'm always a believer of "Less input, Maximum output"
It worked.... again.
=
My current job is great.
There's not even a single second of boredom.
Every second is with new challenges.
Sometimes, a bit of stress is what we needed.... it drove us better.
Just gotta learn how to manage the stress.
It's the adrenaline rush that makes me high...
The mind was so clear when I need to focus...
It's so spiritual, Zen-like.
=
All in all, it's been a great day.
=
PS. I wanted to watch the 'King's Speech' more and more...
When'll everyone be free?

Shocking News Monday.
Monday
Finally submitted the files on legal advice (again and again)..... my direct boss seems to have accepted the work, only minor changes.....
But one day the file wasnt on its way to Department of Justice, there's still things to worry.
=
My desk was flooded by files.
Really.... I shouldnt have let 2 of my staff to go on vacation last week....
Now they're bombarding me with all their files, in the same time... I felt what's like to be in the middle of quicksand and tsunami.... just no where to hide and i'm feeling breathless....
Gosh.
Working for six plus hours straight and I still have eight 'personal data' reply left.... not to mention my scheduled 'death report' writing and my revision time....
What happened...
Feeling a bit helpless as it's the first time I realize no matter how hard I work, there's just no way one can finish all files in a day...
100+ files (with minutes) done... a new record for me, surely.
=
Despite all these workload, I still squeezed some time for gym during lunchtime.... one very bad news...
I GAINED 10 POUNDS IN THIS TWO MONTHS....
What happened? It cant be true, can it?
I first thought the balance was wrong.... but when I double check my weight at home, I knew this is no funny matter....
Gotta run more and burn away all the excess... (seriously speaking, part of the weight is muscle... but my body fat raised a bit too....)
=
Was forced to leave office at 7, as today is the day of 516 passing-out anniversary.
Went out to meet with the brothers (only the guys were there tonight) and Walton Sir...
In such a relaxed setting, we had so much fun~
It's been great guys~ Let's keep in touch.
=
Work is important, but it's never as important as family and life.
=
Had a great conversation tonight... HKIFF or movie? I'm looking forward already.
