入油記

今日做mobility testing, 問Doug借車. 佢話架車冇咩油, 我check過之後, 見到上晝都應該夠油, 決定照test, 食飯先同架車入油. 我唔熟路唔知邊度有油站, William話第一城有; Sunny話大埔有.

話咁快十二點, 一行7人響photonics集合. Again我唔熟路, 於是由Michael做車手. 由於第一城泊車唔係咁方便, 一行人決定出發去大埔汀角路茶座. 架車冇咩油, 一出大埔公路就搵油站. 不久就見到CRC標誌, Good. But wait, CRC LPG? Doug架車唔係食石油氣架喎... Sunny又一傑作:「我日日都見好多車出出入入架? 唔係油站咩?」又可能Sunny響加拿大太耐, 搵左個名副其實既Gas Station!

Too bad, 冇人知道最近既"Gas Station"響邊. 車既油唔係仲有好多, 我地仲驚到唔敢開冷氣. William響地圖search油站, 我地眼光突然轉移到椅背既CALTEX紙巾合. 我打電話去大埔既station, 問佢地響邊. Check地圖要過橋, 又行錯左路喇! 要響d小路掉頭, 好似學車咁三手軚掉頭. 最後見倒CALTEX粒星, 原來前後仲有Shell同Esso. 「CALTEX啦, 係佢救我地唔使推車.」

個故仔仲未完. Michael:「入滿佢.」服務員:「唔該開油缸蓋丫.」全車人又大笑一聲. 搵左一兩分鐘後, 服務員再加一句:「係唔係司機位旁邊呀?」Got it! 最後入左$550, Jerry簽卡. 服務員:「唔該寫埋車牌丫.」再次笑聲. 唉, 揸左阿Doug架車成個月咁耐, 我地三個都冇人記得個車牌. 阿Paul:「你可以報警架喇, 呢架係偷車黎...」

最後開番冷氣, 曆時三十分鐘既入油故事終於完結, 向汀角路茶座進發.

GO! 肚餓呀~

The Yale Dream

IT's busy these weeks, much more busy than I could imagine back to January.

Called Dean Gary in an attempt to arrange a meeting tonight. It's glad to know finally he can go to Yale University for his Ph.D. For sometime I have also dream of doing Ph.D in the US and to be a professor. While no one knows will my dream come true, Gary has done it. However he is not very happy with it. Why? Probably it’s due to a lack of enthusiasms and confidence. I’ve never seen such depressed Gary. Hope he could get upbeat later this year. I want to have his smiling face on my Master graduation photos, if he could ever come back in Nov.

Looking back what have been done in a little over a year, I’m doing quite well comparing to my friends or classmates. While it still remains a mystery for what the things will be if "Dream come true"; that’s certainly not bad for not, at least up to this moment.

Have so many things want to say that I have confined them all inside. Definitely I need a break.

Incredibles

Tried this one from the site of my frd.

Mirage
Which Incredibles Character Are You?

brought to you by Quizilla

Haven't watch the movie yet. Probably I'll know "myself" better thru the movie. Does anyone get any idea of this character?

Interview

Scheduled 14:15, I arrived Marry Building at 13:45. After handing in those documents and references, the interview started at 14:00. Mr. LAM and Mr. NG gave me a briefing about the interview, and then I started giving them an introduction of myself. The whole process is interesting and I learned a lot. Mr. LAM as the training leader tended to ask questions to understand my logical thinking; while Mr. NG as the investigator focused on giving me role play to test my response in handling different situations.

Finally the interview ended at 14:50, which was scheduled to be 20 minutes at the very beginning. I learned a lot during the interview though I wasn’t satisfy in some of my response. Mr. LAM finally added they didn’t expect interviewees could answer all the questions perfectly, unless you are already a law-enforcer or you are a criminal.

Personally I knew more about the post I’m applying for. I didn’t expect good news given my performance against Mr. NG. The bottom line is: my strength lies in analyzing, if that happens being an investigator couldn’t give me the chance to utilize my skills, I’d rather leave it for others as I could perform better somewhere else. I didn’t gamble, didn’t smoke, didn’t have drug and didn’t one night stand, I’d not feel comfortable if I have to work in an environment like this. That’s simply not me.

Let's see what I get after a month.

生日快樂

今晚(3月3日)係我一個好朋友既生日.

不知不覺我們認識快三年了. 好想在這一天跟你親口說一聲「生日快樂」. 我知道是不可以的了, 只有在這裡寄上我的祝福.

身處異地份外感到寂寞. 上一次生日響日本出Trip, 好想打比一個朋友, 希望的只是這邊聽筒的一句「生日快樂」. 結果在東京寂靜的街頭, 一個人喝酒.

我就是個這麼在乎details的人.

巧合

中四住良景既時候, 因為鍾意模型, 成日去碼頭一間模型屋, 結果中六響碼頭返學.

A-Level果時因為女朋友鍾意Kitty, 成日去鑽石山荷里活廣場既Sanrio Shop睇下送咩比佢, 結果入左科大, 鑽石山變成返學轉車站.

Year 3同一個朋友既親戚補習, 一星期兩日去黃大仙, 結果響九龍塘返第一份工, 黃大仙變成返工轉車站.

第一年返工同兩個朋友多左見面, 一個住沙田, 一個響沙田教畫, 於是好多時去沙田火車站食飯. 結果而家響科學園返工, 沙田火車站變成返工轉車站.

巧合的是: 碼頭, 鑽石山, 黃大仙, 沙田火車站 - 我本來都不認識. 然而, 最後佢地都變成中轉站.

這是否意味著ICAC Interview會唔得? Let's see.
