Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam Defeated

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam in Sri Lanka are finally defeated. I don't know if that's a good news or not, but at least I won't have to worry about the people I know and love that's currently in Colombo...

Touch Dual 16key -> 20Key

Changed my Touch Dual (P5500) into a 20key version (P5520)
if only i can find how to change the key mapping into the 20key version as well :P
a change in PID, according someone in xda-developers
Pictures after the break

Before :

After :

p.s. if anyone is interested, QW launches internet explorer ,AS launches start menu (like the 16key version), L is backspace, ZX is message, OP DEL ENTER ALT doesn't do anything.

20070322

Time sure hell files. It's nearly end of March now, exactly 2 months away from my first exam. However, in the past few weeks I seem to have lost the interest to do any school-related stuff, e.g. write programs... etc. I few like I'm struggling with the programming mainly, occasionally not understanding what the hell's going on in the lectures. Not a terribly good start then. That said, I don't seem terribly bothered to spend more time revising or writing programs. I guess I really need to polish up my academic computing skills this holiday. The computing stuff that I'm good at doesn't apply to the academic side at all. Bollocks. Ooh...and there's the accounting stuff as well. Duh.

OMG EXAMS

In that case, I really really need to polish up my programming skills.

On a happier note, I can come back early June!

I've been back in Bristol for slightly over a week now, and I'm still working on the programming coursework. I barely did any till today. I must say I'm a bit disappointed about a friend who promised to help me over a week ago, and I haven't heard from him since. He's not even replying my IM messages. (Not you, T. It's that guy I mentioned in your blog comments. I know you're very busy, so don't bother unless you have the time.)

Anyway, just finished supper, and should get back to work now.

p.s. Started playing su doku these days. Rather fun.
p.p.s Happy Birthday Steve!

Lost my music

作詞：畑 亜貴
作曲：神前 暁
編曲：神前 暁
主唱：涼宮ハルヒ(C.V.平野 綾)

星空見上げ　私だけのヒカリ教えて
あなたはいまどこで　誰といるのでしょう？

楽しくしてるコト思うと　さみしくなって
一緒に観たシネマひとりきりで流す

大好きなひとが遠い
遠すぎて泣きたくなるの
あした目が覚めたら
ほら希望が生まれるかも Good night！

I still I still I love you！
I'm waiting waiting forever
I still I still I love you！
とまらないのよ　Hi！！

眠りのふちで　ユメがくれる想い出の One day
あなたの言葉には　少しウソがあった

離さないよとキミだけだと
抱きしめたのに
約束がフワリと暗い夜に消えた

大好きなひとよいつも
いつまでも探してしまう
きっと目が覚めても
まだ幻を感じたい Morning

I lost I lost I lost you！
You're making making my music
I lost I lost I lost you！
もう逢えないの？　No！

大好きなひとが遠い
遠すぎて泣きたくなるの
あした目が覚めたら
ほら希望が生まれるかも Good night！

大好きなひとが遠い
遠すぎて泣きたくなるの
きっと目が覚めても
まだ幻を感じたい Morning

I still I still I love you！
I'm waiting waiting forever
I still I still I love you！
とまらないのよ
I still I still I love you！
I'm waiting waiting forever
I still I still I love you！
また逢えるよね？　ね！！

ah...screw it...

theo, or anyone for that matter, do you know how i can change the whole blog to utf-8 without re-publishing all posts? i chose big5 as the encoding for the blog, and been regretting that ever since, but too lazy to actually do anything about it...

update : the blog is now in utf-8 format, and i'm half way though the process of republishing the blog. the japanese lyrics should show correctly now. 20061015t

What's your Emotional Quotient?

Your EQ is 107

91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that.

Well...sounds right...

And you?

What's your Adventure Quotient?

To you, adventure without innovation is like going back to the dark ages. Humans have progressed and so has technology. Our calculations reveal that you are the Well-Equiptped Achiever.

You have a true enthisiast's appreciation for top-quality technology and equiptment. For you, it is not simply about getting the gear. It's the curiosity of how you use it to heighten your next experience. Your adventures demand the time to learn the intricacies of any new product or idea. Your wealth of knowledge is no secret. Others seek your expertise before deciding what to buy.

Seems quite right, considering it's from Land Rover a bunch of Ph.Ds.

So, what is your AQ?

Happy Mothers'/Birth Day

To Mom & Ming...

落花流水　陳奕迅

曲：Eric Kwok / Eason Chan
詞：黃偉文
編：Eric Kwok / Jerald
監：Eric Kwok / Jerald / Eason Chan

流水　像清得沒帶半顆沙
前身　被擱在上游風化
但那天經過那條提壩
斜陽又返照閃一下　遇上一朵　落花

相遇　就此擁著最愛歸家
生活　別過份地童話化
故事　假使短過這　五月落霞
沒有需要　驚詫

流水很清楚　惜花這個責任
真的身份不過送運
這趟旅行若算開心
亦是無負一生
水點　蒸發變做白雲
花瓣　飄落下游生根
淡淡交會過　各不留下印

流水　在山谷下再次分岔
情感　漸化做淡然優雅
自覺心境已有如明鏡
為何為天降的稀客　泛過一點　浪花

天下　並非只是有這朵花
不用　為故事下文牽掛
要是　彼此都有些　既定路程
學會灑脫　好嗎

流水很清楚　惜花這個責任
真的身份不過送運
這趟旅行若算開心
亦是無負一生
水點　蒸發變做白雲
花瓣　飄落下游生根
命運敲定了　要這麼發生

講分開　可否不再　用憾事的口吻
習慣無常　才會慶幸
講真　天涯途上　誰是客
散席時　怎麼分

流水很清楚　惜花這個責任
真的身份不過送運
這趟旅行若算開心
亦是無負一生
水點　蒸發變做白雲
花瓣　飄落下游生根
淡淡交會過　各不留下印
但是經歷過　最溫柔共震faf

追憶

一向都有在房間裡高歌的習慣

今天在唱林子祥的"追憶"﹐唱到"...首次跟他喝啖酒﹐然而自他離去之後我問..."的時候﹐竟然哭了出來。

應該沒事吧...

追憶　林子祥

童年時候泥路裡伸頸看
一對耍把戲藝人
搖動木偶令到他打筋斗
使我開心拍著手
然而待戲班離去之後　我問
為何木偶不留低一絲足印
為何為何曾共我一起的
像時日總未逗留

從前在那炎夏裡的暑假
跟我爸爸笑著行
沿途談談來日我的打算
首次跟他喝啖酒
然而自他離去之後　我問
為何夏變得如冬一般灰暗
為何為何曾共我一起的
像時日總未逗留

從前共你　朦朧夜裹
躺於星塵背反後
難明白你　為何別去
留下空空的一個地球

徘徊悠悠長路裡今天我
知道始終要獨行
閒來回頭回望去追憶去
邊笑邊哭喝啖酒
然而就算哭仍暗私下慶幸
時日在我心留低許多足印
從前從前曾共我一起的
現仍在心內逗留

從前誰曾燃亮我的心
始終一生在心內逗留

Personality Tests

Recently loads of personality tests appeared in a HK3Zone.

So far, I found out that...(chinese, sorry)

你是一個在心智上處於成熟的人。每天精神奕奕，充滿自信，同時又很受到朋友的信賴，唯一的缺點就是你對日常生活乃至人生的態度稍嫌嚴肅了點。

你的人際關係障礙就是缺乏話題。和大家在一起，你總是找不到有趣的話題，或是你和其他人談話時，老是有話不投機半句多的感覺，所以建議你應該多多充實自己，懂的事情多了，自然就能和別人侃侃而談。

你是個設定計劃的高手，而且往往能在短時間內冷靜並處理任何突發事情，但做事不夠認真、乾脆，略有拖泥帶水的傾向。

太著重結果，只許成功，不許失敗。一旦受挫，很久都仍深深不忿的。

你會很熱情對待朋友，也喜歡結交不同層面的人。你會很希望了解身邊的人，而且因個性鮮明，人綠總是不錯。

你負責責任的程度６０％，算是不過不失。偶然會因為太大壓力而逃避，故不易有一番大作為。

你的死穴是戀愛 床是身心休息，也是戀人纏綿的地方，會選擇床表示你對戀愛有很多錯綜複雜的感覺。作朋友時你可以自然相處的一行。一旦變成戀人時你就開始患得患失，變的很膽小。或許是過去很有被情人背叛的經驗吧，你比較適合跟老實的男孩交往。

Oops, that sort of tells the truth but it's for girls only...

這個不可以、那個不能做，這就是大家對你的印象。別人雖然常常稱讚你的老實可靠，但是這也同時意謂著你是一個無趣、凡事不知變通的人，你應該勇於嚐試不同的生活方式，讓生命更有趣。

你的個性很沉穩，做事不會毛毛躁躁，也不會拖泥帶水，適應還境的能力很強。賴床的時間恰到好處，能與現代的都市生活的節奏互相配合。

待人處事皆非常冷靜，絕不會感情用事，你就像畢卡索一樣，充滿藝術家憂鬱的氣質，但是在面臨緊急狀況時，你能力持鎮定，不慌不忙地處理事務。這樣的你，很難與你的伴侶維持火熱的感情，你總是靜靜地分析對方的一切。另外，由於內向的個性，也使你極富責任感，但個性稍嫌保守，所以你的內心很難燃起一股熱情

你喜歡過夜生活，不愛受傳統價值觀的束縛，充滿自信，往往有與眾不同之處。

別人認為你是一個新鮮的、有活力的、有魅力的、好玩的、講究實際的、而永遠有趣的人；一個經常是群眾注意力的焦點，但是你是一個足夠平衡的人，不至於因此而昏了頭。他們也認為你親切、和藹、體貼、能諒解人；一個永遠會使人高興起來並會幫助別人的人。

聰明又可愛，而且擁有又純又真的赤子之心，和你在一起，總會有很多令人意外及驚喜的事，再加上你那活潑開朗的性格，予人有無窮無盡的精力及魅力，不過某些時候，總會被誤會為隨處放電，事實上，只是你喜歡交朋友的性格令人有誤會吧了！在你眼中，對情人有著無限的憧憬及期待，你希望與愛人的故事就像童話一樣純潔及完美，一個能與你同甘共苦的人便是你所需，不過奇怪的是，你對伴侶要求不多，反而一個與你心靈相通，就算不常見面的人，大家的心裡有對方就已足夠了。
與車厘子拍拖秘訣：必須要有耐性，因為車厘子天生缺乏耐力，如果伴侶都是一個沒有忍耐力的人，那麼兩人一起便會產生很多麻煩，與車厘子拍拖，嘗試給予多些時間，讓車厘子了解你，你也多點了解車厘子，你將會發覺車厘子的人絕對是一個外冷內熱的小孩子。

Leavers' Book

My leavers' book entry...

��Cassio��, is a special but rather hilarious name to be called. However, his name does not make his life any embarrassing; instead, remarkable. He always carries a grin on his face as if nothing can make him bend his brows; this complexion gives his friends a mature image and reliable feeling. Although I realize it is tough to be able to smile in front of despair and difficulties, it is he who influenced me with his optimism and taught me how to smile. He is unique and especially with his character, his strong character which eliminates ��foreign�� opinions. As a result, we stand no grounds to argue with him and always end up having to admit defeat. Apart from that, he is immensely well-tempered. Interestingly, this Cassio is not good at mental arithmetic at all unlike his famous brother ��Casio��; but rather a close friend of IBM. I saw him once standing on his ��beloved�� IBM laptop and started to bounce, at first I thought he must be insane, but after that I asked him why, he said he was just confirming IBM��s claims. (Does it sound even more insane?). Without a doubt, he pursues outstanding computing skills which solve problems for his friends. As far as I know, he loves photography. He once spent 3 hours on a piece of work just to seek the perfection. On the other hand, he is obsessed with yoghurts; I have never seen him having a meal without a large bowl of yoghurts in front of him for the past 6 months. Although it sounds a bit like a clich?, it is our pleasure to meet you!

Thank you Ivan!
