My Life as Open Source

剛得知George Harrison 病逝的消息，有點震驚有點難過，永遠不能忘記他彈Sitar 發出的聲音，佩柏軍士寂寞之心俱樂部樂隊是我最愛的一張唱片，George 的一首自彈自唱的Within You Without You 鬼斧神工Sitar 更是迷離幻化。據說他臨死前的心願是希望：「大家彼此相愛」

皇上御書，今個聖誕大假由廿二號放到明年三號，不過由於我們已決定今年聖誕不外遊，所以到時多數|在家裡孵蛋。

不景氣之風終於都吹到公司，節流同裁員下個月正式開始。本來想過趁還有工作今個聖誕去日本豪一次，兩條友去的話所有費用要使三至|個，有感前途不明朗，一下子用三|個有點不明智，老豆話個袋有十蚊使兩蚊好喇！外遊大計就此擱置，去不成旅行，可以買玩具玩，買GameCube 主機save 卡一張手製兩個加兩個game，成個假期在家打大亂鬥同奧利瑪Pikmin。

下個月十號要飛，剛好那個星期千與千尋上映，等左咁耐卻陰錯陽差不在港，未能第一時間欣賞宮崎駿老師的新作真係唔抵！激死！

打開報紙知道iPod 街有得賣，打算用明年的利是錢買！正！一千首歌的容量同火線連線只花十秒便抄了一首歌，不被迷惑才怪！

近期打算拍賣部位珍藏幫補零用，不過思前想後樣樣都不忍，點算?

I play with the color a bit and this is the xmas edition for my diary. I have no creativity of my own at the moment. This one probably won’t last too long, I get tired of bright colors really quickly. Then again, I get tired of dark colors really quickly too. Am I insatiable or what?

Have been listen to Faye Wong’s latest record non-stop for the whole nite. I’m tired and have to go.

I’m starting to think a PDA is more convenient than a MP3 player, I can drop down notes and keep track of all the meetings, contact details, itinerary and listening to MP3 when I’m on the go. And most importantly, they’re both at about the same price around 3K. My dream PDA is Sony PEG-760C, it’s running Palm OS so I don’t have to worry if it’s not Mac compatible, I have the memory sticks for it already cuz I have Sony Digital Cam. With its hi-res screen, slim and light-weight package, everything is just so Perfect. However, the price is just too pricy for me. Aw! Dream on. Or I can get it with my double pay or bonus at the end of this year. That pops another problem, we’re suffering the economic depression and it’s un-wise to spend a large sum of my saving. Also, something is happening at my work next week, it’s the layoffs. Although I will be in demand, it seems not the right time to spend.

The Sony Aibo is too darn cute! Even I couldn’t afford it.

It was such a good day, received a bunch of flowers from Derek at work and consumed loads of cakes. And my boss brought me a mug. Everyone is being So sweet to me and I love ‘em all. I love my mom too, cuz 23 years ago she was in labour for nearly 10 hours to gave birth to me while my dad was gone for biz trip. My granny took her to the hospital and got settled. I was born on November 28, 1978 at around 11pm, weighing 8 lbs. 20 oz. I was Huge, heh!? And I’m their first child, 4 years later my sis had made her arrival and then another 4 years I have a brother. My parents love kids, they do! The funniest thing is we’re all born on the year of World Cup. Ha!

I would love to keep on typing but I’m too tired to go on. Off to go.

收到聖旨下個月十號上杭州五日北京兩日天津一日。經常出差，想買電子手賬，既可聽mp3 又可以記錄客戶資料等等雜項，不過一部雞雞地又要合要求的Palm 好貴，作罷。只買mp3 player 的話，Sony 果d 細細個得32mb 都要兩千左右，算來算去，始終都係iPod 最抵，三千蚊5 gigs 容量最多載一千首歌。不過經濟唔好，公司現在要節流，分分鐘明年凍薪，都係儲個錢傍身好了！

dvd drive 換了，非常感謝友人的義助，如果唔係煩死我了！

因為昨天過得好，順帶今天也是開開心心的，整天都想著那十隻可愛的豆腐，無啦啦都�|笑，同事們說玩物喪志，想來如是。

收到好消息，dvd drive 有貨可於星期�|更換，呢段無歌日子終於都完喇！不過好鬼邪，每次收到電話時我當時都是同阿皇上商議要事，下個月中又要飛，誑_京那邊要開設辦事處，所以今次要去北京天津搞租寫字樓等等雜務。唉，一上一落有損耗，無論係身體或荷包上。不過又有些少開心，又可以去京城一趟。上個月在北京買的cashmere大衣可以大派用場，真係落雪也不怕落雨也不怕，就算寒冷大風雪落下。。。唔知有無機�|打破個人體驗最寒冷紀錄零下十度呢？

唔知�|唔�|回杭州的廠呢？到時阿房宮已經裝修好了，我以為當完一次禮部侍郎教班猴子做人同欽差大臣監督興建阿房宮以及打點一切大小事項（打小報告）後就ok。以後再上去都只是掛單找檯坐，點知皇上恩賜張寫字檯給我，不過一切言之過早，都係遲下至算。

走在外地，�|突然間覺得「我是香港人」的身份格外重要，不是大香港主義，而是從來都不覺得香港是我家，從來都不�|因為自己是香港人而覺得有甚麼了不起，從來不�|說咱們香港人甚麼甚麼，忽然有人問妳從那裡來？那刻覺得香港很親切。每次走在街上總有來自各地的遊人向我問路，外國人也好外省人也好，偏偏他們問的問題我都懂答。可知道從外表上我已經blend in 人群中。

不過有好多野我唔抵得，對於我來說，在starbucks 飲啡咖睇”英文”雜誌是件超平常的事，可止英文，德文法文日文意大利我都睇，不過是睇圖而已。但對於認識的國內人來說，這可是件大事，非要向全世界brag 不可，因這是”高檔消費”也，真係超頂唔順超嘔心！她們還批評我戴的定情手鐲，甚麼款式過時還以為香港女孩很時�|云云，我不�|理，心裡�|說Thanks, it’s a Tiffany, you know. 諗起都覺搞笑。

Today was a nice kind of day. Yeah. We slept, we ate pancakes, we went to a movie, we saw Amelie. Sweet dreams of romance, surprises and good deeds set to accordion music, I loved this warmie French movie. And I cried at the end cuz all of sudden, things that bother me in the past couple days doesn’t matter anymore and I feel changed. Nice sort of day, no? Yes. I got Derek’s xmas present, Chogokin robot series No-6 and I got Kubrick To-fu series for myself at the lowest price $240 for the whole set. They’re too darn cute!

Last night I started working on a new diary layout. Just starting to get bored with this one. I want something xmas, so I’m going to put it up as soon as I can.
