又覆診啦
今天又到周醫生那裡覆診,等了很久(等他吃飯盒),但實際見的時間很短,皆因一切正常!
This is my first blog. 希望每日也有一些事可記錄下來,否則那日就好像是白過。
Attended a class on negotiation skills yesterday and today. Among all the rules, I found the following enlightening:
以前在一些港產片聽到「今晚打老虎」這詞語,不知道有什麼含意,原來廣東話「今晚打老虎」與法文comment allez-vous發音(可參考這裡)非常相似。comment allez-vous,原來是英文的How are you?
Phish, or phishing
Spoof, or spoofing
最近有項調查指出,香港的體質指數,包括體重、血壓、肌肉關節柔軟度、肌肉力量與耐力,均自30歲起下降。資料顯示,愈多做運動,體質便愈好。有醫生建議市民,每周進行3 - 5次中等強度的體能活動。中等強度的體能活動,可令人輕微出汗、體溫上升、心跳加速,但又不致於令人說話吃力,成年人應每天運動累積30分鐘。看來,久違了運動的我,要加把勁了!
Coup d'état, or simply coup, is a sudden illegal, often violent, taking of government power, especially by (part of) an army. It is a French word:

春秋時,吳起為魏國西河太守,商文是他的上級。一天,吳起不服地問商文:「我在你手下當差難道是命中注定的嗎?治理國家,使百姓順服,君主和大臣齊心協力,誰做得最好?」商文說:「我不如你。」吳起說:「誰為大王的臣子時,大王的威望更高?咱們倆分別辭官,誰走後對大王的威望影響更大?」商文說:「我不如你。」吳起又說:「疆場上,一聲令下,能讓全軍將士奮勇向前,不顧生死,咱們倆誰最棒?」商文說:「我還不如你。」
Google 推出Google Image Labeler,表面上是一個遊戲,隨機配對兩位使用者,在雙方的瀏覽器上隨機顯示圖片,讓大家憑直覺為這張圖片想出相關的字眼,若兩人輸入的字眼相同,便可以獲得分數並繼續玩下一張圖片,如此反覆進行,直到遊戲時間結束。說穿了,其實是Google叫世界各地的使用者免費幫它們為影像做 Label,從而增加Google圖像搜尋器的效能,果然高招!
「千羊之皮,不如一狐之腋﹔千人之諾諾,不如一士之諤諤。」
曹操為了要消滅袁紹殘餘勢力,打算征伐烏桓。但是烏桓並不好打,許多下屬都不主張。雖然曹操最後決定出征,也獲了勝,但其實勝得也很險。
Five years ago, two planes crashed into the World Trade Center and both towers collapsed within two hours. I had to work at CFO that night......and I spent most of the time watching TV and website for the latest news.......
今天我和老婆參加了堂家組活動,一如以往,活動遲了開始,亦遲了結束。還好的是,我們終於可以看到早前拍攝的訪問與短劇,負責攝影的阿畢出了很多力,值得讚賞。閒談間,我發現原來阿畢和我年紀非常非常接近,只比我年輕.........三日。

My son bought me a tie last week. Finally, I got a chance to wear it in the TV show! Very sharp! I love it!
Ceci and I went to the Information Centre of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority. It houses books and journals on central banking and related subjects. Since it is at the 55/F of IFC II, we can enjoy the magnificent view of Victoria Harbour over there........including The Belcher's!
Tonight we had dinner at California Pizza Kitchen (Times Square) with Ceci's GPA colleagues. Both food and service are good. Will try again!
