Phoebe came back from vancouver to take summer break. She's leaving on Monday. Aaron, TO, Tin Yee, and Joseph came out for gathering twice. The first time at Joseph's home, and yesterday at the Admiralty J.W. Marriott. We had, like always, profound discussion of all the topics in the world we could think of. These group of friends are quite unique. We are close in terms of relationship but remotely separated either by location or career practice. I talked about this ericarol.com website I've been working on to Aaron and Phoebe. However, I didn't told them the url. This ericarol.com is kind of a special place for me to mumble something...

"Over Time", the Japanese TV episode, is again, a re-run of the break-up of carol and I. This time, the story shows a even more resemblant case in terms of the characters' personal background. Sign...
My birthday was such a great one. The reason of it being so great this year is that there is plenty of people greeting me through phone and e-mail. All the best people I've ever know came to greet me! Yeah! No celebration this year. I am working on the tender proposal since nelson and his gf went off for vacation to Thailand. It's due 15 hours later! And I have to ship this proposal to Macau... along with myself since I've got an appointment there as well!
Talked to father. He's like in the really really up northern China now... having a conference there showing off his inventions. He's dating quite a number of girls, too. All too very young! All young enough to be qualified to be my gf instead of his! Had phone conversation with mom and brother in Vancouver, too. My brother, Gordon, is exploring the opportunity of working in RCMP.

Watching the Japanese TV episode called "Over Time".

Had phone conversation with dad. Miss his birthday. He told me that I had missed the Father's Day as well. Well, kinda relieve that Father's Day hasn't arrived yet so that I would still have a chance to make up for missing his birthday greeting. Called dan. Her interior design business seems to be going quite well. She said that she's probably coming to Hong Kong for a vacation. Had meeting with Eureka, louis & fanny + their new partners, daniel & steven. l & f dropped by our new office to pay visit to fung, lawrence, terence, and gavin. f, l, t, g shown l & f the work they did. I think l & f were quite impressed. Daniel agreed. Had lunch with Daniel. Chatted. He's kinda excited about the opportunity of getting the funding from the Eureka gangs but not spending on the IT related field. Funny idea maybe. But I kinda got carried away, too. His 3D inventor uncle, my father's patented inventions, blah, blah, blah... even micelle�s idea of founding her own company... blah...
nelson and his gf had dinner with their newly wedded couple.
nelson�s fond of the elder daughter of our office building�s landlord. The rest of the office gang was all excited about the younger daughter of the landlord. Fung was flirting his best with the Brenda. It�s hilarious! Elder = Ida + Younger = Brenda
Brenda, in my opinion, a less (but still) good-looking and horizontally compressed version of Monica� yeah� she reminded me of Monica� Hah�

1st June: Office moved.
Now using dialup Internet access... damn slow.
ADSL coming tomorrow.
Mr. To referred Cancer Fund programming job to us. 2nd meeting today.
Daniel was back yesterday.
Stanley called me to go to the Leon Lai concert on Friday tomorrow. He got free tix for 2. I told him to let me be his backup guest of honor! Letting Jones, the girl he's pursuing, be his date! Hope everything went well for him.

I fixed the Outlook Express bugs by seeking help from google group(formerly deja.com).
On my way to my grandmother's place to dinner, walking pass the residential building area of the Mei Foo community, I got spited on my face right from above. That's one shit load of spit I got there! Shit... First time ever in my life got spited like that...

Worst thing can ever happen to me:
My Outlook Express's cannot be open! HELP!!!

I visited my grandmother this evening for dinner and gathering. My cousin dug out some of my mails I wrote to him. I meant hand written mails but not some e-mails, okay! :-p
It was dated 13 January 1993. I was in Montreal then. I wrote to my cousin a lot then. He was my pen pal and my best friend. I wrote to him about my daily activities, my feelings towards life, and anything related to photography. I was such a photography enthusiast. I told him that I wrote an essay in class. I was also required to read aloud in the English class. Everyone in my class laughed their head off! Here we go:

Title: Once and for All

Sometimes, when people talk about beauty, I think to myself, ��I will never ever have a chance to meet a girl like her again.��

Eight months ago, when I was lining up for a ticket to a philharmonic concert, some sweet laughter came from behind my back. I turned back carefully and I noticed that three girls were gossiping. I glanced over them, and just at that moment, an extraordinarily handsome girl struck my eyes.

At the moment I saw her, she was flipping her perfect long black hair over her shoulder. A fresh scent rushed into my body, as if I had been placed in a big pasture, and could fell a warm wind blowing on me. Her laughter was like the songs that just the angels sing. Every tiny action she did had enough power to propel me to do anything for her. Her graceful face typified the golden period of the world. The fluttering eyelashes could make my spirit fled out of the earth!

Thank God! I did not catch her sight. If I did, I would have felt on to my knees due to the sudden shock. I knew the struck time was just a few seconds but it seemed I had already gone through all my life!

Although in my mind I still think it is ridiculous, it really happened.
