H1N1 pandemic at wei lun

28/8 15:00
獲悉對人類豬流感測試呈陽性反應
可能我是確診人類豬流感眾人當中病徵最輕微一個

22-23/8
早在 o camp 首兩三天回來跟組期間,懷疑睡眠不足又早起上班關係
開始感到有點不適,首先是頭痛,後來發現低燒
於是服了必理痛,病徵亦幾乎消退

其實當時也有部份 freshmen 感到不適,發燒,也有到急症室求診
這是習以為常的,每年 o camp 都有這種情況

24/8
到了 high wall 時候,開始發覺更多 hall mate 患病
有的發高燒已休息,有的仍然撐住
蝌蚪當中更有多個發高燒,情況一發不可收拾

25/8
到了翌日 o camp 被宣佈暫停
所有人出入都要戴上口罩及大規模消毒樓層
很多 hall mate 去了流感診所

26/8
o camp 被宣佈終止
所有人被建議回家休息或隔離,但是仍然有一部份人選擇留在 hall
有兩個 freshmen 確診
14:00
到西營盤指定流感診所求醫

27-28/8
多個 hall mate 接連收到電話表示確診

直到現時為止,有鑑於多個 hall mate 都確診 h1n1 豬流感,包括自己在內
可見其實大部份人都已感染 h1n1 病毒
分別只是沒有病徵,輕微病徵和較嚴重病徵
有病徵的都做了測試並經證實
沒有病徵的做測試結果都會是一樣

不應該根據病徵的嚴重性而制訂不同程度的衛生標準
加強個人衛生措施的目的是防止病毒散播以及預防感染
有沒有病徵都應該嚴格遵守
因為大家都曾在 o camp 內交叉感染
大家都不知道確實的感染途徑
現在應該做的是盡快康復及將環境徹底消毒

對於大學對流感發出的指引更是難以理解
發現病徵的便要回家隔離
回家是隔離還是繼續散播家人?
留在這裡是散播還是隔離?
沒有事的人繼續留下是增加感染風險還是安全?

大家不應對患上流感的人加以標籤
他們是受害者,已經接受自我隔離,失去正常社交生活
況且已經戴上口罩,便不會再有飛沫傳播
只要做足個人衛生措施已經非常足夠
過多的敏感反應只會令人際關係疏離,令人反感
if we begin with people
we should begin with the ones around us

late summer 2009

moved back to hall
and back from the trip to taiwan

the trip was great
it was the ever trip hanging out somewhere away from here
and the ever best time holding my beloved's hand day by day, night by night =]
all stuffs left here as flying away, memories brought back as the flight gone back
new days coming, new life as usual, with a different mind

my internship is ended, followed by a part-time duty
to complete not completed
i know taking this job would be a bit as busier as another fyp
2 fyps and a tuition job right now
wondering whether all aspects can be handled properly
forgive me please as something is gonna go wrong

o camp started as usual, but a special one
suspended on the 6th day
due to the spread of flu and fever everywhere in the hall
7/f suffers most heavily
people got fever one by one, including jo sons & daughters, cores and me
same situation in other floors
sought flu clinic this afternoon and tamiflu is prescribed
while 1 hall mate got confirmed at the same time
people are moving out this afternoon and common areas are being disinfected
now i'm suspected and i think i am the one
wearing mask all the time
and quarantining from family and my beloved
because they should not be infected

what everyone can do now is sitting and waiting
maybe waiting for symptom coming up
maybe waiting for suspected to confirmed
maybe getting recovered
anyway a special, half-passed o camp this year
and the availability of coming orientations is still uncertain...

busy summer

i've been working non-stop during my internship period. several positions and stuff have kept me busy for over weeks. endless trial and error from my work, website banner, frequent fyp meetings and preparation deadlines, though summer still hasn't come to a half, hockey regular practice, and now preparation for the coming trip to kenting. rarely i could leave the office, back home directly and take a rest for that night. i could never imagine how valuable an 8-hour sleep and a free afternoon at weekend are before working in this so-called office hours. dare say i'm absolutely not ready for leaving the school and living in this way for the rest of my life. let me get back my wonderful beautiful hall life full of joy and freedom soon. enjoy my last summer vacation and my last university life.

postscript
losing memory and my consciousness
- no idea of why giving that response or behaving like that

at the end of my life

i found i lost memory quickly
when it's come to the 2nd summer in my university life
i have no idea what i've done in the last one
and something happened in my secondary school life is kind of missing in my mind
i used to have so many college schoolmates
at least 5 years we're going to the same place every morning
but i can't recognise someone on facebook was once a schoolmate in college
how about classmates? how about my friends?
who are they? how did we know each other?

i found i'd refuse to meet someone long time no see, especially in a mass gathering
i prefer a small one
while we're getting farther, our conversation is getting fewer
who made us close friends? and who tore us apart?
are there any forever friends?
or just seldom gathering?

time passes by in this way
and my memory is losing at that rate
spending my whole life chasing after this and these
at the end of day, will i still remember why?
will i recognise who i am?

i don't know why
i just know that it's the end
at the end of my life

nervousness

這個禮拜得到了「神經緊張」
很莫名奇妙
那徵狀是無時無刻都在想某幾件事
無論食 lunch,坐地鐵,即使知道自己很累,但是都沒法在巴士上入睡
我知道這是因為最近的壓力比較大
我嘗試拿出 ipod 聽音樂
結果是很用心地留意歌手唱出的歌詞
無法享受那些一直都很美妙的旋律

最近的壓力其實來自我的實習工作和 fyp
上班已經來到第四個星期末
自問好像沒有做出甚麼成績
我感到有點迷茫,其實他想我做些甚麼出來?
倒是不斷閱覽了很多很多不同的資料
由最初的 asp.net, ms sql, axis video encoder, seetec...
到最近的 opencv, openmp, opencl, cuda, ati stream api...
很多很混亂
首先要清楚自己想做甚麼,然後要確定該軟件的用途
有時候看得太多 documentation 會感到困惑
一大堆 option,要自己適當地選擇合適的應用方法
有時候他又會說其實是怎樣怎樣做...

最近 fyp 的工作不知不覺間便展開了
reynold 說要一星期開一次會
不明白為甚麼要這麼趕急
現在的生活已經令我連自己的私人時間都沒剩幾許
還要事先閱讀四份長達 12 頁的 paper
實在太辛苦
其實我也不明白這個 topic 要做甚麼
到底完成了對社會有甚麼貢獻,有甚麼可應用
這令我喪失了對此奮鬥的興趣
直至早前的一次討論,事情才逐漸明朗
開始知道做甚麼,也相信會有三個同伴一起並肩作戰
心裡的不安才得以釋放⋯

不過「神經」仍然是有點「緊張」
聽著音樂仍然只聽到歌詞
今天很累很累了,今夜可以睡個夠嗎?
