I'm back.

I feel quite bad for not having updated my blog as often as I did before. But I'm glad to see one or two of the xanga mates still generously leave me comments.

There's a couple of things on my To-Do List and the followings are in progress:

1. Keep adding long-lost friends to my newly registered msn to make sure we keep in touch with each other.

2. Reading books which were nicely given by friends.

3. Jogging (Today I only did 7 laps , farrrrrrrrrr behind my target! Will lift up the spirit and take a step further next time!!! )

Glad to know one of my colleagues is a drama-lover! Looking forward to checking out some nice drama together from time to time.

這幾天, 心情平靜, 工作不太繁重, 可以準時回家看「宮心計」!

同事的親戚起初患上感冒, 繼而頭痛﹑發燒, 昨日進了心切治療部, 得知病菌已到了心臟, 現在心臟功能只剩下四成……

同事邊說邊哭, 聽者心酸……希望她親戚早日痊癒。

I was going to write about my birthday. But now, sadness and pain wash over me. Don't want to write anything......

Dear mates,

Would you please leave your msn to my email? I'm no longer using my old one as I forgot my password.

Looking forward to seeing you all again~

Came back from Singapore for a two-day conference. Glad to meet colleagues from offices in other countries though the conference wasn't exciting as I expected.

蔡鍔與小鳳仙

是一則可歌可泣蕩氣回腸的愛情故事

萬里藍天鵬翼

直上扶搖

那堪憂患餘生

萍水姻緣成一夢

幾年北地胭脂

自悲淪落

贏得英雄知己

桃花顏色亦韆鞦

他們的分離是如此動人......

「......曾經滄海難為水

除卻巫山不是雲

認識你令我取次花叢懶回顧

但是何等值得

人生得一所愛

夫復何求

你在我生命中的出現

足夠令我回味一生。」

Basically my msn is dead, so I haven't been in touch with friends for a while. I wonder how my friends are doing.

I was initially thinking to register for a new account, but it is unlikely that I'm going to it due to long hour work and heavy workload every day. Having said that, these two weeks have been enjoyable and interesting. Colleagues and my supervisor are nice, friendly, approachable. The team I'm currently working with is kinda mixed with people from different countries. I'm the only Chinese. I like the firm culture and I'm comfortable to be part of the firm so far .

Back to single life again.

Today is peaceful and fruitful.

Gotta take good care of myself (I miss dinner quite often lately)!! Doing exercise is on my to-do list (at least once a week). Thanks to the scotching hot weather, I easily sweat! I don't think I need to do long hour exercise.

Camping 28/08/09 - 29/08/09

We went camping on his birthday at 浪茄 (MacLehose Trail 2), one of the hottest sites for camping in HK. He used to go camping, so he got all the equipment and gear ready. We carried our heavy bags walking for about 15mins to get to the beach (I couldn't even lift up his bag! ). We arrived at about 5pm.

It was my first time to go camping, so everything seemed so interesting to me! Upon arrival, he started to assemble the support rod to raise the dome tent. The tent has 2 zippered tent doors and an air mattress as bedding. He gave me 2 camping water bags to collect water, each of which has a tube with on/off switch. Basically it is used in the same way as tap water. He also had a set of utensil - simple yet handy! When I was cooking, it reminded me of the time when I was young playing 煮飯仔 ! We had hotpot, "Bo Chai Fan", carrot & meat soup for dinner - simple yet delicious !

In midnight, the weather suddenly changed. The wind was shifted to our direction and it was getting stronger and stronger. I even saw lighting above the nearby island! I was a bit worried cux trees were around. He quickly hammered in the tent stakes for a secure tent. Luckily the strong wind did not last for long and it didn't rain at all. The sky was starting to become clear. In a short while when I looked up the sky, it was completely covered by stars! I've never seen such a beautiful sky (except in the space museum)!!!!!! WoWo was sleeping so well next to me. She was even dreaming (her hands and legs were held up) !

We had a first cup of milk tea under the sunrise. Sitting on the beach with the sea breeze along, it was a very relaxing morning! The sun always comes out early in summer. It was scotching hot in the afternoon. We couldn't wait to go swimming. WoWo was so excited, running and jumping around. The beach wasn't big, but there were about 25 yachts lining up, instantly making the sea crowded.

We brought some fruits, "baby" watermelon, apples and pears. Apple is WoWo's favourite fruit.

We finished packing at about 4pm. I had a good sleep, probably I was too sleepy after camping.

What the best about camping is that I can entirely keep myself off from work (though I haven't started working)/ worries. We didn't check out the time in the whole day.

Apart from hiking, I would say that camping is another good choice for city workers to relax during weekends.

Just 2 weeks left before I start working, finishing off 3 months loooooooong vocation.

It's a luxury of having time with no limit, fun with no worries, work with no stress. I'm truly enjoying this holiday.

Sunday night we went to Dada Bar & Lounge to enjoy jazz music performed by a live band.

Yesterday I woke up at 4am to try the first taste of tea at 瑞記茶樓 at Tai Mo Shan! Surrounded by bird songs, we were sitting at the restaurant having 7 dishes of dim sum! We then hiked from Tai Mo Shan to 梧桐寨. It's my second time to go to the waterfall. WoWo was so excited along the way and we were happy to see her swimming so freely at the waterfall. It's been a year I haven't got any hiking practice. The hike seemed so difficult to me, especially when I was walking down the hill. My legs could barely bend at the end. 辛苦他了! WoWo ran back and forth to make sure I sticked around. She is always energetic!

I made up my mind in front of God, marking the end of the prolonged decision-making process.

Concentration, with no regrets, is what I should hold for the path ahead.

With courage, I look forward to developing my professionism in years ahead.
