Playstation Move!!!!

今天是一个好天。我知道沙田新城市廣場现在一直都有搞Playstation Move的宣传活动。可惜一直没有机会去试玩,到今天。很巧的是,同事提议到新城市廣場lunch。而且很巧的是,要试玩必须要消费300港元以上才行,而我刚好为大家买了单。就这样,和我另一个男同事就浩浩荡荡的到试玩现场去!



Today certainly is a great day! I have known for a while there is a promotion event in Shatin New Town Plaza for Playstation Move. However, I just didn't have the chance to go and have trial, until today! Coincidentally, my colleagues suggested we have lunch in Shatin New Town Plaza. To try the Playstation Move, we need to have spent over HKD300, which I didn't know. And, very coincidentally, I paid for the lunch first. With that receipt, finally me and my colleague went to try out the damn thing in a very excited mood.

我们很异口同声的选了试玩"Time Crisis: Razing Storm"。结果一上手就不想停。这一只Move握在手里,手感不错,不会太轻(我担心太轻会有玩具的感觉),而且感觉上质量很不错。至于玩起来,Move的准确度和反应度还真的很不错(和某一个品牌比较是好多了!)。真的很不错,很好玩,很准确!我想我会再9月15号的时候入手!



Both of us made the same choice to try out the game "Time Crisis: Razing Storm". Eventually, we both didn't want to stop playing the game. It was very exciting and fun game. When I hold Move in my hand, it feels very fit, very smooth, and seamless. It is not too light (which I am worried it would make the thing feel more like a toy), and I do perceive the quality is good. Precision, responsiveness and sensitivity of the Move is just as good as I want it to be. To be fair though, the game is really about shoot it all, so, I just wave the thing and shoot like a mad man, but when I tried to point at something, it did point to where I want it to point. In conclusions, I will order one on 15 September 2010!

Everything is connected...

I always, always have problem with bringing work back home (well, you can of course argue that I shouldn't have done that, and tell that to my bosses). And, I already have two big external harddrive, yet, they are never sufficient, nor convenient. I have been struggling with myself, debating with myself if I should spend HKD 1000+ on something I might or might not need. And, that has been continued for almost 2 freaking months! Considering my salary is not high, freaking high living expense in Hong Kong, carrying huge debt on my shoulders, I need to be careful with what I am spending.



Then, two weeks ago on a Sunday, I have made the decision: "What the hell, just buy the damn thing and get over with it. You can spend some money you earn with your sweat and tears, literally!" Also, I am very depressed because of the getting-to-no-where work. In fact, I really hate bringing my heavy, clumsy, old-because-of-cost-cutting-that-they-give-me laptop back home for work every weekend. Do I regret of buying it? Up to now, no.

Buffalo Live 1-TB Network Attached Storage (NAS)
costs me about HKD1200. What it offers is really what I can use, either for entertainment or for work. OK, it is not that advanced that you can remotely access the storage from outside the home network (well, I read somewhere it could be done with some port forwarding setting on the router, but I am too lazy, at least not at this moment). Now, with this damn thing, I can store all my stuff (songs, TV shows, photos, etc.) and being accessed by my Macbook, Asus EEEPC, and PS3. It is the center of thing that connects everything I have. Even for work, I can just upload to it, and download at work or vice versa, without carrying the damn laptop or even the thumb drive. It is sufficiently convenient so far. Finally I could tell myself, I have spent my hard-earned money wisely!

No where to go...?

来香港已快一年了。时间过的真的太快乐!工作是非常繁忙的,壓力也愈來愈大。沒有辦法,公司請不到一個有經驗的人來管理我,所以我也只有自己管理自己。連大老闆都說過我先在是在干兩個人的活。可笑的是,我反正不覺得公司是重視我的,我也只有自我重視了。算了,對於公司,我也心淡了,不想在去奢求甚麼。我也很坦白的告訴大老板,“I have nowhere to go”。有幾個比較好的同事也離開了,可想而知整個department的士氣有多“高“。還好我這個人比較positive,工作上得不到甚麼滿足,唯有盡量在日常生活中得到一些歡樂。我是一個非常懂的自娛的人。一天待在家裡也不會悶慌,也許這也算是宅男的一種。我有一大堆的書可以看,有一大堆的電玩(PS3,PSP,NDS)等著我玩,也有一大堆的音樂美劇動畫等著我享受,再不然還有一些朋友可以混混時間。太豐富了,但是也很可惜,大多的週末都得窩在家裡苦幹。必須學會NOT CARE,因為其實公司裡也沒有會care。

最近很喜歡聽一些黑人同胞的音樂,可以推薦幾首個讓大家聽聽看。首推Rihanna的”Fire Bomb"和“Photographs”,再推Keri Hilson的“Knock Me Down”和“Alienated"。接下來是Akon的”Be With You“和”Freedom“,還有最近才發現他的B.o.B和他的兩首“Don't let me fall”和“Airplanes”。公司裡一有機會都讓這幾首歌轟炸自己消壓。



最近雖然都很少玩電玩了(工作重要嘛),但是一有機會都會偷閒一下。最近入手了幾個等著我開包的PS3遊戲例如“Batman: Arkham Asylum”, “Metal Gear Solid 4”和“Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition”,個個都是經典之作,而且因為“RE5”會支持Playstation Move,所以就狠下心買了。



除此之外,從沒有間斷只要有機會(如上班路上)就會玩的PSP遊戲“Persona 3 Portable”。最近還考慮入手“Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker”,還有非常期待即將來臨的“Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep”和“Valkyrie Chronicles 2”。



除了這一些不是很有意的玩意,我也很喜歡BBC的紀錄片。一下子很放心的入手了一大堆DVDs,真的可以花很長的時間來學習學習。而且每次看這一些紀錄片都會有莫名的感動,經常可以提醒自己,人類是很眇小,別把自己看得很大!



真是一個多姿多彩的生活。我的哲理是: no matter how shallow or trivial or meaningless it is, find something in your daily life that can cheer up your boring routine a bit, then it really worth it!

Proud

我家是一个小康之家。父母都希望自己的儿女成才。至今,我是唯一一个比较幸运能到国外学习工作。我很不喜欢我的亲戚,大部分都是一群内心污浊,希望自己好别人倒的混蛋,尤其是我家隔壁的一家。我真的觉得自己很幸运不用每一天对着他们,我家人就没有如此幸运了,每一天都被别人“单单打打”。还好,我的弟弟还很看得开。就是自己的父母没有办法,太容易受他们的言语影响。我弟弟的那一店铺真的经过了不少的风浪,“梦之园”(Facebook)才能在6月23号正式开张。我真的很开心。先不论到底生意好不好,但是万事起头难,至少现在我的弟弟不会整天好像无所事事的样子,终于能好像个成年人那样担起一点责任。我真希望那群混蛋能真正的shut the fuck up, and mind their own damn fucking business!

My family is just a normal family - not rich, not too poor. Till now, I am the only one who is blessed to be able to study and work outside Malaysia. I dislike my relatives, some of them are just a bunch of assholes especially the ones that live next door who like to belittle others in a hidden yet noticeable way. I honestly think I am lucky enough that I don't have to face their ass faces everyday, but my family is not that lucky. It is blessed that my brothers are optimistic enough to face those ass faces. However, my parents just sometimes can't take it that much and got influenced all the time. My brother's restaurant (co-owned by two of his other friends) has been facing a lot of difficulties and obstacles before open for business. Finally, on 23 June 2010, Dreams Shabu Shabu (Facebook). I am really happy. Set aside if the business is good or not, everything starts in hardship. At least now my brother doesn't seem to some punk who is jobless and directionless all the time. Finally he can really be man and take up some responsibility. I seriously hope those assholes and assfaces can shut the fuck up and mind their own damn fucking business!

7月17号,中国报为“梦之园”做了一个专访“為你實現夢想樂園”。评语还不错。我深信只要用心去做的话,没有事是做不成的。而且听老妈说老弟很用心,每一天都亲力亲为的煲汤,买材料,开门,等等。已经忙到瘦了一圈。听到他们说没有生意的时候,我会很担心。但是听到他们周末满座忙不过来的时候,我会很欣慰。另外一方面,我希望我的弟弟能帮我减轻一下我的财务问题。让我能有多一点钱让我好好安排我的未来。现在在香港不是说工作不开心,只是有时候真的压力太大了-无论是工作上还是生活上。真希望能有所改善。要有所改善也只能靠自己!说到底,I am proud of my brother!

On 17 July 2010, China Press has done a piece on Dreams Shabu Shabu, titled "Utopia that fulfills your dreams". Not bad reviews. I truthfully think if you use your whole heart to do something, it will succeed gradually. I heard that my brother lose some weight because of the restaurant - he has to get up early to make the soup, buy those materials, open the restaurant, etc. When I heard their business are not so good on some days, I got worried. But, when I heard that they are busy like hell on the weekends, I am happy for them. On the other hand, I hope my brother could help me reduce my money burden a bit, so that I could really plan my future. Working in Hong Kong has its ups and downs. Sometimes, it can be very stressful, not only from work but also from daily life. I sure hope it could be better soon, and to better it, I have to do it myself. Anyway, I am proud of my brother!
