Because it makes your system crawl!
Merging stuff into QA and running web Wilma should not be done at the same time. My computer was totally locked up for an hour or so. Grrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

SVN
Why is TortoiseSVN called TortoiseSVN?
Because it makes your system crawl!
Merging stuff into QA and running web Wilma should not be done at the same time. My computer was totally locked up for an hour or so. Grrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

又無緣
發覺同某 d 人同某 d 事真係好冇緣嘅... 今次又冇我份~~~
如果今年10月或者下年2月再有就好喇~~~
btw, 一峰隻新 EP 值得買架 (雖然係國語! 我未買...因為佢個 payment processing system 好似唔收 foreign 發咭銀行咁啵~) 同時佢亦都好似好耐冇出過廣東碟~~~
P.S. 搵o左好耐嘅歌詞...
起點
我生命裡第一次感到遺憾
是我和你擁有不同的起點
所以今天牽著你的手開始
我會努力追回失去的時間
我會努力嘗試忘記你的缺點
直到發現它們本來是優點
如果我不能為你改變我的缺點
就請你笑一笑 親一親我的臉
路很遙遠 躲不過雨天
當雨水打在我們的臉上
快樂 不快樂 卻由我們來選
我們也許會忘記玫瑰的顏色
香檳的甜 還有淚的鹹
長路盡處我仍會 牽著你的手
微笑看著同一個終點
微笑看著一起的終點
如果今年10月或者下年2月再有就好喇~~~

New monitor at work
Yeah! Someone from CaTS (I think the acronym stands for Computer and Technical Services, but not very sure. Anyway, it's our internal IT team here) knocked on my door the other day and left me with my new monitor. I didn't get one with their last batch so I am quite excited.
It's a 20" wide screen monitor from HP (model L2045w). I got used to my Dell wide screen at home so this is definitely a welcomed upgrade. I think I can also tilt the monitor to have it display it portrait mode (vertical) - should make it easier when going through pages of codes. =)

Midwest in Janauary ...
See how "lovely" it is...
Luckily there isn't any snow or wind chill. For those living in a metric country:

Light at the End of Tunnel
With a bit help from the IRS, I should be able to achieve one of my financial goals this year, which is also one of the prerequisites if I were to move back to HK (this is getting more tempting the more often I go back for vacation). It took me almost five years but hey, at least now the end should be near. =)
Since we are talking about prerequisites, another one would be becoming a US citizens. I think I already fulfilled all the necessary residency requirements, it's just that I don't feel like paying several hundred bucks right now. I was going to naturalize a few years back when i was searching for a job - since some of the job openings required a security clearance. Since I don't think I'll be leaving Madison for some time, getting my U.S. citizenship becomes less urgent. Though the only downside is that I'm still not able to vote. :P

Brief HK Trip Recap
I will keep better track next time with my new MacBook! Bwahahaha... Until then...
* Definitely not enough time this time around. Last year (2006) I was back for 4 weeks and was bored for a week or so. This time I thought 3 weeks should be okay but apparently that wasn't the case. I didn't have time to meet up with all my friends - considering the fact that: i. Vincent wasn't in HK ii. Big Den also wasn't in HK iii. 老大要陪阿嫂 iv. Richard went to 深圳. Why didn't I have enough time (Though I was sick for a few days)!!!! So when people asked me how was my vacation, my answer? Two weeks too short. >_<
* Since no need to get any electronics this time, my shopping list was mainly clothing. Similar to above, I think I did not get all my target items at well. I should have go shopping alone in the afternoon of 29th (the day before I came back) instead of having a family day. Having mom right next to me slightly affected my "shopping mindset" (Really should have bought that tee and shirt from Zara). I think many sales people would be very happy to see me in my last week of vacation - since basically it went like this: "Well, let me try it on. Well I guess it's okay, keep it at the counter for me while i shop around for more"
* More on clothing. Biggest disappointment this time: French Connection. Number of items I like: 0. Biggest Winner: Izzue & Muji. Muji was really a big surprise. Never thought I could get like 5 - 6 items there. The rest was pretty average (2%, 5cm, etc), a couple items here, several items there. In general, the style this year was average.
* Newsgroup friends: A house warming party at Pak's and a CWB dinner. Had a great time in both occasions. Only hope that we can meet more often.
* Christmas Eve at Jasper's: Is it becoming a tradition? Well, I won't be back next (this) year during Christmas though. Maybe Vincent can pick up slack. XD
* Yuen Long: Since Jasper mentioned it in her latest blog. One of my conclusions in this HK trip is that normal dim sum restaurants no longer have 蓮蓉飽 - I'm not even talking about 白蓮蓉飽. Apparently they all switched to selling 流沙飽 instead. What a shame! I had to go to Yuen Long's 大榮華 for my 白蓮蓉飽 (but they were good - Yum). On the other hand, i definitely had enough 碗仔翅. =9
* Speaking of Dim Sum, I think there were only 3 days in my whole vacation where we didn't have dim sum. For those who are surprise, my parents do go to have dim sum almost every day since I was little (my dad's work schedule was rather atypical). So to me, daily dim sum breakfast/brunch/lunch was pretty normal. Oh, those couple days I missed? It's because I stayed up all night the night before. XD
* It was nice not having to drive. Considering the fact that I live in Fanling, a normal trip to Kowloon would at least take an hour. However, it felt much more enjoyable since there wasn't any need to pay attention to the road condition etc. Only need to remember to get off.
* Getting Back Home after mid-night. Not having to drive was nice, but finding public transportation back home was a pain once past midnight. However, I did figure out how to get home from CWB and Kowloon Bay via red/green van. I think i've seen signs for over-night green vans in MongKok. I'll try to figure that one out next next time.
* Gift for folks at work: another snack pack from 奇華 but don't know how they fared with last year's 鳳梨酥. Next trip might be tricky. Um...
That's it for now~

Return to the Blogosphere
Dev deadline? Over
Trip to HK? Over
Year 2007? Over
Well, finally have time AND mood to start blogging again! XD
Things finally settled down from my HK trip. My work schedule is back to normally and my sleep schedule is getting there as well (actually it's a bit healthier as is right now - comparing to going to bed around 3 before).
This year, my blogging resolution will be having more post than last year, which was 68. This should be a modest goal - let see whether i can achieve that or not. Speaking of blogging, Apple is rumored to announce a slim/ultra compact MacBook this coming Tuesday at MacWorld. I am extremely interested. Hopefully it's be in the right price range for me. Wondering what this has to do with blogging? Having a MacBook = able to blog in wifi-available cafes = definitely more blog post since I like hanging out at coffee shops on weekends anyway. My company does offer interest free computer loans, but i need to pay off my current PC first (since you can only do one at a time and i have ~$600 remaining with my current one).
