Good bye to U

Today is the last day of U in Hong Kong, he will back to home town, and most probably go to UK office. We went to sham tsang for farewell dinner.

I will miss him. :)

National Treasure: Book of Secret - Switch off your brain before entering cinema

Nicolas Cage, one of my favorite actor, it is the reason for me to watch that movie, well, the movie is so so, not much surprise, but enough for entertainment.

But don't try to figure out the weakness of story, it is too easy to find.

Warlords - 投名狀

Nothing to do at Christmas night, saw U online, so dated him to have dinner together, then, gathered with J to watch Warlord. The reason for choosing this movie is simple, cause, it is the movie i can think of and both J and I haven't watched yet. And of course, it provided english subtitle, so U can watch without translation.

I didn't expect that it is so bloody, but I think it is a good movie. Someone said it is good cause it used a lot of $, but I don't think only money can make a good movie, see Heros, I don't really like that.

The story is simple and lots of area for thinking, like brotherhood, love, power and anti-war, message are simple but fair enough. And of course, actors are performed quite well, I started to like Jay Lee. :)

Bee Movie - It is only for under 18

Read from poster, said it is another movie that comparable with Sherk and Madagascar, s o I am expecting it is same class as Sherk and Madagascar, but i am completely wrong!

The CG is good, but the story is only for under 18. Kind of boring.

my new toy - Ricoh GX100

bought before went to Korea. Found it is not good in indoor, but the shot in outdoor is excellent.

Life after CFA

2 weeks after CFA, still have no relax feeling, cause I had to catch up for the schedule of product release, worked in office till 10:00 for few days, and prepare for the business trip to korea.

Super busy even in Korea, worked till 2:00 am for first few days, then, after my boss in US started her vocation, my life become easier, at least, I dont have to reply her email bombs.

my life in korea - day 7

Went to the Korean house, a village that specially for tourist, displayed several traditional korean style houses.

3:30 pm. Took the airport bus to aiport. Back to HK!

my life in korea - day 6

Woke up at 11:00! Shower and then went out to the most famour palace in Seoul, Gyeongbokgung. I was very lucky to catch the tour visit at 1:00 pm. The scenes in the palace is very nice. ^_^

Left at around 3:00, ahead to watch JUMP, a non-verbal performance in Korea, the show has the elements of korean culture, tae kwon do and acrobatics. A very interesting show.

After the show, I found my wallet is lost. Not sure whether I dropped it or being stolen. >_<>

my life in korea - day 5

arrived office at 09:50 am, switched on the laptop, started to work for while, waited for other colleagues. Well, it is not a working mood day, everybody get ready, and left office at 10:15 a.m.. Today is the wedding banquet of two colleagues, SJ and L. They knew each other in office and dated for 2 years, only few colleagues discovered that. haha ..

The wedding was hold in function hall in University, most people dressed in formal, but i was wearing jean! The photographer even asked me to stand at the last row. :P

The wedding ceremony is in western style, not much different with HK, something interest is, the bride has her own room for photo taking, she just sited on the sofa. Much more comfortable than in HK.

After the wedding, everybody went back to office and prepare for another event. Annual Dinner! The dinner was in Japanese style. Nice food, nice soju. And there is snow outside. It is my first time to see snowing. We even played snow fight outside the restaurant.

After dinner, we even went to Karaoke, but, u know me well, I don't know any Korean songs. So, I just acted as photographer, to picture down the dance in Karaoke.

The snow became more and more heavy, when i just enter the hotel, snow on my shoulder melted cause of the warmer. The water even dropped to floor, what a shame.

my life in korea - day 4

woke up late again, but luckily, I am not the latest one. K has to check out from hotel. So, i waited him lobby.

Arrive office at 10:30, meeting and meeting, and working. What a busy life. Went to have Japanese food with colleagues, yummy!

Still busy after lunch, K went back to Hong Kong at 7:45, A is not free tonight, so, I went to have dinner with Korean Colleagues alone. The restaurant is a localized place, very Korean style. The food is good.

Went to Dongdaemon with CH and HK, my Korean colleagues, they are so nice, picked me to there, and taught me how to take Subway, subway in Seoul is a very complicated system, over 200 subway stations. I guess i will be messed up if I go alone. -___-

So cold outside, -5 I guess, but many Korean ladies wore short pant, brave! Dongdaemon is a crowding place like Mong Kok or even more energetic, those shops opened for 24 hrs!

Ate some korean local street foods, I dont know what is that, but all tasted good, cause all are hot! So marvelous.

my life in korea - day 3

Cant woke up on time, rush for shower, then left hotel at 9:35.

Another meeting at 10:00, lated for 10 mins, what a shame.

Went to have ginseng chicken soup with soju, taste good, I started to love that.

Kept busy after lunch, then, forgot what I did actually, then time for dinner.

Went to have dinner with Korean development team, i found that Korean like soup very much, they have soup in every dish. The funny thing is, they put rice in soup after finished the dishes.

Went to Gangnam with K and A, many people are there, just hang around and ate some street food. Good taste.

my life in korea - day 2

Woke up at 8:30 a.m., my hands were dry out, and bleeding... so terrible.

finished shower and dress up, I like having shower in winter, at least twice per day! The feeling is so good.

9:30, left hotel, so cold outside, I guess there are only 3 degree on street.

today is a meeting day, finished tons of meeting.

went out for lunch with colleagues, forgot what I ate already.

Having dinner with big boss, great Korea BBQ and soju, the taste is beautiful.

Back office after dinner, some Korean colleagues are still there, then i worked till 9, back hotel to continue till now. Time to sleep.

my life in korea - day 1

It is the first day in Korea, very cold here, -1 degree at night, Korean colleague said there may have rain tomorrow. O... my god.

Today is not a easy day, dated K at 8:25 a.m., arrived airport at 8, went to cathy pacific check in counter, chose the short queue, thought I must be able to meet K on time. However, 8:25 a.m., still queuing for check-in; 8:35, queuing for check-in; 8:45, queuing for check-in; 8:50, my turn finally, I complained of long queuing time, the operator said it is due to system problem on cathy pacific check-in system -____- . What a shame.

starving for food, rush to cafe de coral, used ten minutes to finish my breakfast, 9:35, ran to gate, the last one get on flight, safe finally, i hope.

Arrived Korea Incheon Airpoirt at 3 something, K lost his luggage, but the staff in Korea is quite helpful, we waited around 30 mins, lucky enough, they found the luggage finally. Someone took the luggage, and thought it was belonged to him. -___-

Good time is coming, went to have dinner with Korean colleagues, a very traditional Korea cooking style, kimchi, bean sprouts and sausage, a strange combination.

Back office after dinner, started raining, it likes freezing me, thanks KH, he return to office and took umbrella to us.

CFA - 1 day to go

聽日考CFA了. 今日居然病左, 想是早兩天在公司冷親. 雖然只是傷風感冒, 但鼻塞和流鼻水的感覺很難受. 鼻子下的皮膚因經常磨擦而損了, 很痛. 還要溫書, 邊個古人話小病是褔? 小病是褔這結果, 只有在得閒病時, 而病才出現!

好~ 又是回到書枱前面既時候.

CFA - still have 6 days to go

仲有六日, 十二月二日, 會係我最後一次CFA LEVEL 1, 如果FAIL 左, 我就會放棄啦... 讀CFA 好辛苦, 最衰係, 我又係一個好心散既人, 少少野, 會distract 左.

但, anyway, 都最後一個星期, 俾D 心機啦..

球迷狂熱 - 英格蘭對克羅地亞

annyeonhaseyo?

今日K 有d 事, 無返Office, 得我一個同韓國果邊開會, 傾左成個鐘, 傾晒D公事, 係度傾D 閒偈, 韓國同事忽然好認真咁話有個問題問我,

er ... 你... 係唔係韓國人呢?

緊係唔係啦!

仲以為佢問乜添, r 晒頭. 我好好奇咁問佢, 點解有D 呢個誤會架呢.

佢話, 早前, 有個同事去完香港office 返黎, 話俾佢地知架喎 (!?).... 嘩, 真係, 唔係嘛, 我只係同果個人打左個招呼咋喎. 何以見得我係韓國人呢? 唔通我個樣真係似到咁?

經過一輪研究, 總於發現左個原因!

原來我個 surname 係有韓文架喎, 仲要係大姓添. 但千祈唔好問我點寫, 我唔知喎. 上網搵左好耐, 都搵唔到, 都係遲D問下D 同事先.

Hi, my name is Apple

星期日去左R 屋企，睇BB，BB 幾得意，好多頭髮。但我唔係好敢抱佢，驚一下唔小心整親佢。S 帶埋老婆同埋個仔黎，佢個仔叫浩洋，三歲，讀緊K1，都好鬼精靈。起初浩洋好鬼cool，唔係好理我，後尾佢見我居然講得出佢手上果隻McQueen 句招牌對白：我閃，我閃。仲唔止，我仲識Sally，Mater (亞麥)同Hudson (藍天博士)，佢即時對我另眼相看。佢都唔知，我睇Cars 幾多次，哈哈。

浩洋後尾仲拖住我行，懶 friend 咁，但唔知點解，佢只係識叫我做 apple，真係r晒頭。
