Hero? Or, Zero?

最后的最后，我还是决定了申请一台HTC HERO，用Smartone Vodafone的3G系统。机器虽然是“免费”的，但是每一个必须缴交244港币（无限上网，千分的电话时间）。用了几个星期后，觉得还可以接受。Android的系统刚用起来的时候还不是很习惯的。但是一段时间后，你会开始接受它的好处，比如说全新的7个界面让你完全自由的customize。这一个feature我还是挺喜欢的。要我投诉的话，就是手机的输入“键盘”，感觉上没有iPhone的灵敏。而且，好像还挺难操作的。而且，可能由于时时刻刻都3G的原因，电池很快就会消耗掉。但是，Android提供的app，有一些还是非常好用的，好像一个app能让我所在的地方附近找吃的，喝的，玩的，非常方便。


At last, I got myself a HTC HERO from SmartOne Vodafone. I am using its 3G system nowadays. Yeah, the machine is "free", but it costs me HKD244, which includes unlimited Internet access and thousands minutes of free talk. After few weeks of using the machine, I think it is still quite satisfying. The Android system is quite OK, it has some features that I like, such as 7 interface that allows me to freely customize. Some of the apps are quite useful, one of which allows me to locate the restaurants, etc. nearby where I am in real time. One thing I want to complain about the machine is the input "keypad". I don't think it is responsive enough, compared to iPhone. Moreover, the battery power is consumed quite quickly probably because of the 24-hour 3G. In overall, so far, I like it.

Busy... lifestyle

很忙。真的很忙。很累，真的很累。也许是因为我还在适应着7点钟做gym的习惯，也许也是因为我还在适应新工作的需求。还好，同事都很帮忙。而且工作之余我们还有一次的“打边炉”（就在我家）。所以还可以。只是每一天工作12小时是很累人的。

Very busy, extremely busy. Very tired, terribly tired, almost every day. Perhaps it is due to the fact that I am still adapting to this new habit of waking up at 6 gym at 7. Or, perhaps I am still getting used to this new job, which can be high demanding sometimes. Luckily, colleagues are quite helpful and friendly. In fact, we had a steamboat at my place one time last week. However, working 12 hours a day can be really tiring.

i-Thai and C-Jade (谢谢Vivian, Ryan和Claire)

昨天Vivian同志到上海来公干。托她的福，我们到沙田新城市广场的I-Thai吃了一顿非常丰盛的晚餐 -- 一只咖喱螃蟹已经够杀了！吃得真的很饱。过后就和她到处逛逛购物。然后，另外两位上海同事到了（Ryan和Claire）。我们又陪他们到悦翠小厨看他们进餐。反正我也吃了一碗绿豆沙。反正是一个非常奢侈温饱的星期天。


Yesterday, Vivian came to Shanghai for business trip. So, thanks to her, we went to Shatin New Town Plaza I-Thai had a very full and heavy dinner -- one curry crab was certainly more than enough. Very full. Afterward, we walked around, shopped a bit. Then, two of my Shanghai colleagues, Ryan and Claire have arrived. So we went with them to C-Jade Kitchen. I didn't have anything except a bowl of green bean soup. Anyway, it was a very full Sunday!

A day out in TST, again

是的，我又到尖沙嘴一趟了。也许是因为在那里住了1个月的原因，所以开始对那里熟悉一点。而且我也想到海港城里的索尼专卖店看看。天气也不错。结果我也只是走马看花，没有买什么（幸好！）。


Yes, I went down to Tsim Sa Tsui again. Probably because I have stayed in TST for about 1 month before moving here, that's why I am a bit familiar with the surroundings there. In fact, I like to go to Harbour City to check out the Sony shop. It was a nice weather, and I didn't buy anything (luckily!).

Mid-Levels

我想去了gym后，我不想呆在家里，所以决定出去走走。而且在路上还可以听Dan Brown的audiobook （话说回来，还真是一个路上“看书”的好方法）。结果到了香港岛的半山区闲逛。原因很简单，我没有来过这个地方。7点左右还到了一家新加坡参观“Shiok”吃了它的nasi lemak。价钱不菲，不过算了，久久一次。然后回去的时候发现原来从香港站可以搭东涌线到荔景可以转荃湾线到葵芳好要近很多！怎样都会比搭荃湾线到中环站近多了。


After gym, I didn't want to stay in. So, I have decided to go out roaming around a bit. In fact, I could listen to Dan Brown's audiobook on the road (in fact, it is really a great way to "read" on the road). Eventually, I went to Hong Kong island Mid-Levels. Simple reason, I have never been here before. Then around 7-ish, I went to Shiok, which is a Singaporean restaurant to have a very expensive nasi lemak. Well, I figured once in a while it is OK to spend a bit of money. Afterwards I came home. I realized that get on Dong Chung line from Hong Kong station going to Kwai Fong (interchange at Lai King for Tsuen Wan line) is much nearer than taking the Tsuen Wan line from Central station.
