A Breath of Fresh Air

  • 剛剛看了教授一篇長文.. 咁耐睇左幾篇,好似篇篇都係哩類.. 客觀,平實,科學之餘盡量帶點人性.. 想搵篇冷冰冰 ge 都冇.. 奇哉怪也!點 publish 架!哩篇就話賀壽 je.. 其他呢?

    有個人在路燈周圍的地上用雙手和兩膝爬著,尋找他丟失的鑰匙。他的朋友經過這裡,就跟著他一起尋找。找了很長一段時間沒有結果,朋友問他是否肯定鑰匙確實掉在路燈旁邊。他指著身後一條幽暗的小路,回答說:「不,我是在那邊丟的。」聽到這句話,他的朋友目膯口呆。「那你為什麼要在這兒找呢?」回答是:「因為這兒燈光更亮。」

    喻體原來係,搞乜鬼要做跨學科 ge 研究.....

    well, 鑰匙孔多數係 one to many ge..
    一支壞鬼左.. 用到爛.. 咪用過支囉.. 咁先係家嘛..
    有 d 人.. 就係爛到無可再爛都係要用同一支黎開鎖..
    開倒鎖.. 但.. 開得好鬼唔爽囉.. 咁又何苦?

    本來你要用支爛 ge 都冇問題..
    但你唔可以搞到人地都要用你支爛 ge 黎開家嘛..
    你自己開慣.. 就話開倒 je..
    最 cost-effective ge 做法.. 就係換過支鎖匙..
    一家便宜兩家著..

  • yeah, tomolo, I am going to practise my translation skills~~ at around $1 per~~
    in terms of word use, this is gonna be something of the best quality
    as far as Chapter 6 of HK IS Chinese textbooks are concerned~~
    well, may not be the best.. but pretty darn close..



    btw, I'm considering whether to "defer" my MA..
    I think this decision really makes sense for me..

    first, I would need every dollar to survive before I have income again..
    second, I need to be ultra-concentrated.. and any distraction is not gonna be welcomed..
    third, I lose the interest for now ..
    fourth, it would give me a back-up plan when things don't pan out,
    and in case I can recover my interests in it some time later..

    I think it is something I should do.. perhaps at a price of $500?? let me check it now..

  • feel like being appreciated at office..
    it certainly makes my life much easier,
    now that I have earned my rights --
    to yawn, to moan, to yack, to gossip, and to be angry,
    to let out my emotions.. and.. to share my ideals, if you allow me to use this word..

    but more than that is, by earning these rights,
    you can then help create a more enjoyable workplace which,
    like it or not, is where you have to spend the majority of the day..

    still, at the end of the day,
    why would all that matter?
    the appreciation, for example?
    It doesn't translate to anything solid..

    one more observation I've made along the way..
    it seems to me, that the hatred toward stupid seniors is universal..

    and you've to consider yourself lucky if you find your seniors lovable (or respectable)..
    admirable?? those that you can really learn a lot from?? even luckier~~

    the "we" will form a solid united front,
    to stand against the tyranny..
    well, only when the tyrant is not around..
    I am sick with all these..

    It is just too bad that we have to choose a wrong enemy to begin with..
    It makes no sense to me, because editing should be about improving the texts,
    rather than trying to satisfy someone so intrinsically nonsensical..

    the ultimate enemy, should be, those who set-up a stupid scope for us to start with..
    the curriculum planning committee.. if it is indeed their name..

  • 中大個郵箱俾 1XX MB 相 zut 爆左.. 唔怪得今個月收唔倒 library e-mail..
    其實.. 咁樣 send 相法.. 真係好變態.. nlb..

    頂.. 個郵箱爆左咁耐.. 會唔會有 "重要" email 架..
    例如.. paper pick-up 之類..
  • arrived office starting 8:25 am and left at 6:40 pm..
    time is ticking fast these days.. perhaps it is just too uneventful..

    I used to believe that time flies when you're happy..
    and crawls when you're not..

    But here's a new theory..
    Time flies when you're purely wasting it..
    Spend it on something "meaningful",
    and you can feel the passing days with hearts..
    It is only through this can you say,
    every day starts fresh outright..

    Or else, you wake up in the morning,
    not wanting to wake up, but still you've gotta do it..
    What a pathetic state it is.....
  • don't know what to say.. the news is just too horrible.. RIP..
    but.. it isn't just news.. it isn't just a story..
    these things did happen..

    I bet our hearts have hardened all through the years..
    that.. no news is really striking by now..

  • I've heard it a few times these days, "you're still young enough".
    Which says, I'm reaching it fast, the critical age. What else can it be?
    For another year or two, job security still means nothing.
    And that, is certainly a blessing.
    And you certainly need to make something out of the blessing.
    Or else, forever doomed, you are you are.
    You're forever doomed, you are.



    Being paid for OT gorgeously for July. Perhaps I have to OT more, just for the heck of it..
    Starting tomolo, perhaps!



    觀察生物觀察左成日.. 完全冇 feel.. 冇讀 Bio 係差 d 架喇..
    聽日繼續觀察..



    Revisiting some basic mathematics. The brainwashing just misses the point!!
    Too bad I am stupid enough not to realize anything like that before..

    Understandably, you can't teach the underlying reasons to everybody..
    But, the exercises should be designed such that "historic discovery" is possible..
    More often than not, it is through climbing up the historical ladder can you really learn something..
    Not for exams but for joy.

  • 口頭講左會辭職~~ 希望 d 同事間唔中會有 freelance 關照~~
    I did ask, in person, finally, whether part-time would be an option~~
    and the answer is, hard d wor~~ as expected..

    好眼訓呀!做 Editor 最慘就係用眼多過用腦..
    前者會盲.. 後者會生鏽.. 咁落去真係唔得..
