記低上個禮拜去「旅行」去咗邊
day 1
返大陸，惠州探親，呆坐，睇柴九，夜晚瞓覺俾蚊咬
day 2
去咗深圳布吉搵舅父，落車嗰時淋住雨過天橋，同狗仔玩，吸二手煙
呆坐，夜晚食所謂粵菜，實質唔知咩嚟，夜晚俾蚊咬，冇風扇又冇冷氣
day 3
坐車返羅湖，坐大巴去番禺，途中個司機開到肯定超過 120 咪，左 cut 右 cut，狀甚恐怖，驚心動魄，完全唔敢瞓覺
跟住坐公車去星河灣，點知去咗星河灣國際公寓，要搭穿梭巴士過返酒店嗰邊
四點幾要搵嘢食，就咁行出去啲路旁嘅石壆，行咗去兩條公路匯合處，要同啲車鬥快衝過去，有如搵命搏
根本嗰個時間冇嘢食，上咗架的士兜咗我哋去好遠，聲稱嗰道先有好嘢食
嗰道叫洛溪食街，好似真係有好多唔同風味，不過唔係食野味就係食辣嘢，我發覺原來成個中國咁大大部份嘅風味都唔啱我，我都係鍾意食西餐多啲
佢哋要成五點先會開門，呆等超過半個鐘，好彩食嗰間東北美食都算 ok
跟住諗住搭返的士返酒店，點知行咗成三四條街都冇的士
跟住返到酒店個心先定返啲，有免費接駁車載我哋去長隆睇馬戲
馬戲都幾精彩，環境唔算太差，由於係行程一大重點，所以算係幾滿意
之後返去又有車接，成架車都係得我哋四個人
睇柴九、謎，浸浴缸，飲咗罐啤酒，借咗隻 dvd 嚟睇，點知畫面唔啱嘴形，夾硬要聽法文先搞得掂
day 4
食自助早餐，嘢食 ok，不過我都係鍾意香港嗰啲早餐，有包有蛋有碗粉
原本諗住去廣州食晏，點知成日係咁落雨，叫咗架的士車我哋去返番禺客運站
點知上咗車個司機坐地起價，我哋又喺返公路嘅天橋底落車，截咗成半個鐘都冇的士
結果有個揸私家車嘅見到我哋傾掂數俾我哋上
返到羅湖又話要去華僑城嗰邊食嘢，搭地鐵去到又搵唔到
企咗喺地鐵站出口等咗成半個鐘
嗰間嘢食上海嘢，都唔差嘅，不過嗰時我已經筋疲力盡，重要俾人怪責，非常委屈
終於可以回程返香港，返到嚟一天都光晒！
總括嚟講，旅行唔係唔鍾意，不過又要顧住佢哋啲魯莽嘅衝動同埋唔理智嘅決定，每次都要我用心咁鋪排一吓我點睇佢哋咁又有乜問題，事後重要俾佢哋反咬一口，真係唔知咁辛苦為乜
最滿意都係揀咗睇馬戲同埋間酒店，好在佢哋啲服務同表演都幾有質素，有啲出乎意料
真係好怕同佢哋外出旅遊，同埋好怕再去啲咁唔文明嘅地方，啲生活好難適應
好想自己真正咁去一次旅行
旅行原本唔應該係咁

google latitude
I'd like to introduce Google Latitude to you.
Google Latitude is a late Google product that gets your friends know the geolocation of you. That is it tells you where somebody physically is. It provides 2 ways as media to get the geolocation - mobile & iGoogle. On mobile, it is added to the Google Maps and located by cell ID or wireless connection (WiFi), whereas on iGoogle, it is entirely located by wireless connection.
How it works
According to the help articles, Google's WiFi location database is developed by getting use of the MAC address of the nearby WiFi access points. That is, it learns from the MAC address of the wireless access point that you have connected to and locates where you are. As what I have tried, the accuracy of the location is up to few hundred meters of the access point. And what Latitude claims is, similar to the access range of a WiFi router.
Applications
By inviting and confirmed by your friends, you can share your geolocation with your friends and see where they are. (Just give it a try!) And, Google has issued 2 more applications - Google Public Location Badge and Google Talk Location Status. The former one lets you publish your location on your blog or website, like what you see from the side bar of my site. The latter just shows your city-level location in text on Google Talk, as well as Gmail chat.
Privacy
The first idea that comes into my mind is that how can Google get my geolocation so accurately with which I just connect to the Internet and open the webpage. It can just locate my country with my unique IP address. Also, how is the information handled? Who else can see where I am when I am moving from here to there? I wonder if somebody else could use the same means to locate me and trace me...
I hope Google really carries out what it has promised in its strict privacy policy and handles it well as long as it always tries to store personal and private information of every single user in its database.
Add me if you've enabled it.

seven lonely days make one lonely week
Seven Lonely Days - Georgia Gibbs
Seven lonely days make one lonely week
Seven lonely nights make one lonely me
Ever since the time you told me we were through
Seven lonely days I cried and cried for you
Oh my darling you're crying
There's no use in denying I cried for you
It was your favourite pastime making me blue
Last week was the last time I cried for you
Seven hankies blue I filled with my tears
Seven letters too I filled with my fears
Guess it never pays to make your lover blue
Seven lonely days I cried and cried for you
剛好就是過了七天，歌詞第一句很深刻，聽起來很貼切
歌詞不是我的意思，只不過近來對這首懷舊經典金曲提起了興趣
皆因早前在 youtube 看了一段紀錄香港六十年代生活的片段
背景音樂正是《Seven Lonely Days》的國語版本《給我一個吻》，由張露主唱
片段的懷舊古典音樂，加上昔日香港的環境風貌
令我這個生於八十年代末的後生小子感到很有趣味
說回這首歌，在網上找了好幾個不同版本
獨是喜愛這把聲音和演奏，來自 1953 年 Georgia Gibbs
她是誰？大概就是一位五十年代的美國歌手吧
嘩，當時我的父母也未出世
不知道你喜歡張露的《給我一個吻》還是她的《Seven Lonely Days》？
想看上述片段的可到我的 youtube channel，在 favourites 裡面

2nd internship interview
今天去了第二份工的 interview
內容沒甚麼值得提及，聘請我就甚麼都可以了
之前的一次實在帶給了一個極噩的噩夢
不好多提
interview 後因為要放鬆心情排解壓力，總要找點別的事來做
但又沒人相伴，於是開始無目的地的漫遊
先到黃埔新天地打機
想看《天水圍的夜與霧》，但星期四才上映
然後向紅磡未看清楚的地方探索
紅磡街市，馬頭圍道，和衷街休憩處，佛光街──最後竟去到旺角！
想起星期三可到博物館免費參觀，便乘鐵路到太空館
還以為可以買票看天象廳節目，怎料維修至六月三十日
沒多久收到樓友的電話相約吃飯，於是又乘車回旺角⋯
今天的行程算是 irrational 吧
呀，我就是需要一部 personal 的相機
我就是喜歡這樣 =]

elements cannot be recycled
話說頭先去了 elements 圓方睇戲
出門之前在 hall 拎起份昨天的 am730 來讀
看畢, 由佐敦道天橋入口走入商場直到九龍站入口一直找不到棄置的地方
走到櫃檯前詢問: "請問這裡有冇廢紙回收箱? (遞起報紙)"
"沒有" 一個好肯定的答案
再向戲院方向走, 一路東張西望...
木區, 不應該是紙張的來源嗎?
在火區購票之前在一個垃圾筒前丟下了這份很有環保意識和價值的報紙
原來今時今日講環保環保太入腦
不能把這套帶出街
儘管把廢物回收再回收
但是一個把五行智慧 - 萬物之源 - 帶到城市的概念居然沒有三個基本的循環再造意識
實在強差人意
我很後悔拎起份報紙這個決定

60 x 2 > 100
他們都說你很懶散
常常不去上班 剛好陪我早餐
感情也許平淡 但卻坦然
我就是喜歡擁你入眠
他們都說你太凌亂
總是游手好閒 有很多壞習慣
要花多少時間 不想去感染
能夠一直擁有 已經很圓滿 我何必多談
每個人都不是愛神 有誰能夠一百分
感覺不依賴理論 只要能對稱
複雜的世界 太多不安的靈魂
有個及格男人 也是種福份
兩個人變成了我們 現實比電影感人
一對六十分 超過了滿分
愛你是我的天份 不需要劇本
愛沒有明確的標準 只要你認真
你沒有燦爛的雙眸
但是你卻能夠 笑得晶瑩剔透
計較你的疏漏 提再多要求
倒不如伸出手 把你的所有 慢慢的享受
兩個人變成了我們 現實比電影感人
一對六十分 超過了滿分
愛你是我的天份 不需要劇本
愛沒有明確的標準 只要你認真
六十分 - 蔡卓妍 - 桐話妍語 (2008)
-------------------
關於這些，有一份同感
「兩個人變成了我們，一對六十分，超過了滿分」
這是一條簡單的算術題
原來這些，就是這樣計
蔡卓妍其中一首最好聽的歌
