開始教新的小提琴學生
雖然是P1…卻比P3的表哥「老積」得多
還好也樂意跟我傾談，只是有欠坦白…
跟表哥不同，他是被媽媽迫才學的
這勾起了我小時在《娃娃看天下》中讀過瑪法達的一句話：
「天總是給沒牙的人吃麵包」
很懷念失去了的整套《娃娃看天下》
到底這對他是種幸福，還是鳥籠？
有時，我也會掙扎於長輩的勸告跟自己的想法之間
畢竟，我與後輩間也有這麼的一場角力，尤其在任職過的組織中
又想起《燕詩》，我好像很喜歡把事情扯上這中三讀的課文
還記得那回Samantha在O Camp中來電問我文中的尾段，我是何等雀躍
怎樣也好，希望能引起他對提琴的興趣吧

晚上在Shooters聊天，嚐了Hawaiian Punch 跟 Peach Heaven
不俗
跟母親大人辦年貨
她的精神狀態看來不太好，希望沒什麼事…

計劃失敗，終在赤柱享用晚膳
在電影中心取了最新一期 ArtsLink
回家後才驚覺二姐跟智海合作的連載經已刊登
再看一遍，深感自己文字的無力
她提起的那個比賽，到底還該不該一試？
在鏡子裡又一次看到年齡危機的埋伏

晚上在稻香吃剩不少食物
不可再如此浪費
今天珠三角發展失利，我一定會捲土重來

小提琴學生今天進展不錯，可惜仍未掌握某些技巧
對於一些抽象的概念，如何教予小朋友是個很大的挑戰
多收了一個小提琴學生
希望他是乖巧的一類吧

近來比較清閒，可以多幹點喜歡的事
不過心情卻仍未放鬆，仍在憂心AISU的人手問題
其實AI是一個很重要的課題
剛剛才跟二姐談到人工身體部份從Physical演化到Biological層面的變化
在”Godel, Escher, Bach” 一書二十周年版出版五年後的今天大家仍對AI漠不關心的同時，很難想像香港還可以被稱為一個有國際視野的都市
這兩年來大學多了一點人工智能的課程和講座，算是一個進步
我仍相信我的目光
–
狀態仍未完全回復，得加把勁
跟Yan 在二時許通電話至五時許
很久沒有跟朋友在凌晨時分如此聊天，不過倒是一件樂事
聽罷大家周遭的事，愈來愈認同在年少時交友要慎而擇之
又談到了早前跟二姐說起的「痛苦」問題
無痛是很可怕的，《叮噹》裡也有如此一個故事
因為這樣，又想到了MIT那份Robotic Psychology 的論文
想起了跟二姐談及AI的多重Abstract World
於是又聯想到Vivian Chiu那個記者問題跟幾天前留的Quote
有時，我會想我是否該活得比較Dada一點
YDC的首次會議
沒貨…
雖也算是有貨出不得，但…似乎我的意念也有點窮盡
要努力脫險才成…
AISU Final E
To a number of members, our union was not doing quite well in the previous year. However, I’m quite satisfied with the performance already, considering so many uncontrollable personal conflicts amongst the people.
Well, it’s never an easy job to start this union as AI’s something new and complex to most of the people in Hong Kong and there’s also deep misconception that AI is just some hard science. We’re not running a business, which should be market-oriented at most of the time. AISU is a dream, of all those who believe in the missions of it and we should always keep in mind the objectives but not the superficial success. An organization like this is never a success when it’s deflecting from its missions, no matter how many people know the name of it.
Despite this I do support Michael’s suggestion that we should consider the market trend, but only in terms of the form of activity.

I recall the words of Oscar Wilde “Ah! Don’t say you agree with me. When people agree with me I always feel that I must be wrong”
Watched “Phantom of the Opera” at AMC in Festival Walk at night
Haven’t watched any movie for really a long while. Felt good.
Bought a lot of food from the renovated Park’N shop “TASTE” before that. Quite full~~
Met Howard But when I just arrived at Kowloon Tong MTR Station. It should be 3+ years since I met him last time.
Yum Cha at UST and then went to Lai Chi Kok to get a new palm case.
Called Walter on the way. Well…his tone made people felt it’s like a secret visit to Ying Wa with the other guys. Originally I planned to go home afterwards yet I changed my mind after knowing thier visit to alma mater as I was really close to it.
Stayed there for unexpectedly long but didn’t meet lots of teachers. It’s nice to know that things are fine there, except for the Math Olympaid performance.
Then we went to Cheung Sha Wan for tea and chatted a lot. Totally can’t remember when the last time I met Ying Wa guys other than my year was.
Taught violin as usual. It’s really nice to see the student getting some significant improvement. Hope he can keep it.
Anyway, I’m still a bit stressed for his mother’s expecting him to take violin exam at the end of the year.
Went to Mong Kok and ate something in Hui Lau Shan there. It’s always great to eat. Haha.
Originally wanted to see Chinese doctor today….but the clinic just got its opening ceremony today…errrr…maybe I should go to the Tai Wai one these days.
Then rushed to Wan Chai to get the BR form. Gotta plan carefully for that.
–
Went to Prince Edward afterwards to quote price. Hope it’s a good try. Then had tea time at a small Taiwanese restaurant near the MTR station. The food tastes good.

Got hired for teaching Olympic Math in Tai Po. Well, the mother was the VP of AIESEC many years ago…How interesting!
~~UYL Announcement~~
I’ve upgraded the server and installed a third party album program. Now you may view the photos at http://ns2.dotmotive.com/~uyl/album
I’ll write a better one ASAP. For the time being, please be patient.
As the photos are quite large and image resizing is a CPU intensive process, it may take you some time to load the photos. I’ll migrate the script to a more powerful server soon.
Quote of the day
A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.

UYL reU again~~ wow. never had such frequent reunions since F.7.
Went to HKU for grad photos…I’m the only CU person again.
Well, I went “Yum Cha” with family in the afternoon but it was kinda late this time so I called Stephanie and asked them not to wait for me…and GOSH…I encountered traffic jam and went for ironing my gown so I arrived kinda late. It’s really a pity that I’ve missed some interesting moments.
Hoho we went to the vice chancellor’s house door and shouted “Good evening Professor Tsui”. I suddenly recalled the “children’s day” photo we took before.
We went to the Japanese restaurant Suzuki in CWB and had quite some dishes. It turned out that we all felt like just having appetizer at the cost of $80 per head. So when Samuel and Carol came we switched to a Vietnam restaurant and we were full at last!!
Many people looked tired and left early. It’s my first time ever to see Gary having not really much to say. Anyway, we still had a good time.
Kuji then joined and leaded us to a restaurant owned by his hallmate. The atmosphere and drinks there were quite good. We chatted till 12:xx there about career, life, academic stuff and a lot others.
Errr…seems that my memory is going wrong and I’m not that abreast of news. Gotta watch TV news more often.
Death of Zhao Ziyang
Heard some critics bullshitting around

Got some old photos from Katy and laughed at our “potato” look.
Q: What should a university student do?
A: To watch a 50-something-year-old man carrying luggage and having a hard time to get off the school bus without lending a helping hand, until he has waited enough to get on the bus.
That’s what I saw today in CUHK.
*There’s an important announcement before I start the diary entry.*
To UYL fellows,
I have converted our ANNUAL NEWSLETTER to pdf format (42MB)!!!
Well, it’s almost 4.5 years since the day of completion. I owed so much to Kuji for that he had done most of the editorial work.
I’ll get it printed one day~~
At the moment, it’s downloadable at:

06/01 跟 07/01 兩晚都給了 UYL ReU
UYL 的 ReU 總是充滿歡樂的
那一種歡樂，並不如派對般燈光閃爍跟歌舞酒氣營造的一種
該是一種比較富足的感覺，肉麻點說是發自心底的滿足感
記得 Samuel 的 info 曾有過這麼一段:
「距離似乎很遠
感覺卻親切
朋友
不須太多裝璜
只要曾經認識
大概便是永遠認識」
至少，UYL 讓我覺得如是

急急忙忙的一天
因為有人不能參與翌日的 UYL ReU，是夜特地安排了多一次的 ReU
怎料…遲到…給Ivy罵了一頓
然後在時代廣場大電視下等Samuel
還未等到，卻碰到VHui 跟Victor Chan
Samuel到達後還跟VHui無聊了一番… -_-…遲大到
又是Shooters…
當晚有 Ivy，Kuji, Samuel，Silvi
後來還有Viki加入
都是談談大家的近況、去向
還以為Viki已經知道跟G分手的事…
看來大家的消息都很不Update，就像我ReU前兩天才知Donald已回港工作
然後VHui跟Victor Chan 到來坐了好一會
Ivy離開時仍然滿口遲到一事，errr… 她看來真的很惱…
還真巧，當晚在Shooters不單碰到Donald，還有我們做Com時的Camper、Jeffrey跟Samuel的師兄等
不知該說大家有緣還是從沒「進步」
除了VHui跟Ivy早走，12點左右剩下的五人到茶餐廳吃過夜宵便各散東西
對於要上班、上學的大家，相信這已是很晚的聚會了
教授小提琴以後，回家收拾點東西便趕赴UYL的ReU
在銅鑼灣信和廣場的潮樓
連Carol在內有12人出席
雖然一些本來應約的臨時因事未能赴約，不過經已很難得
Vienn最終也是來不了，不過即時照相寄了一個MMS給我們
大家都覺得她有很大的轉變
叫了一個1180大元的十人套餐，竟然吃剩不少東西
不過食品質素還是蠻好的
小聚跟大聚各有好處，我都同樣嚮往
離開了酒家後還在街上閒談了好一會，好像是UYL ReU的例牌現象
在地鐵站還發生了一件很好笑的事件
一班能夠在大家聚在一起時「長不大」的朋友，其實很可貴
期待下一次的ReU
Kafka…
You’ve stopped me from me from running and sleeping tonight.
“Metamorphosis” is really interesting. Yet I’m more touched by the critique.
「…最重要的地方不在葛雷格的痛苦，而在他身不由己地加諸父母與妹妹的負擔，反映出卡夫卡面對家人的匱乏感…」
I’m a lucky one… but my friend / friends…
Amongst his masterpieces that I’ve read up till now, I appreciate “In The Penal Colony” the most. It’s really horrifying and especially so when I think about a person who regards such experience the reality. Despite this, it’s an excellent piece of work that the development of the story is so strange and unpredictable, yet fascinating. Another piece that has marked the deepest impression should be “The Judgement”. It actually reveals accurately Kafka’s relationship with his father. Again, my friend appeared in my brain immediately for the story of her father and her…

Haven’t really read, except journals, design magazines and technical books, for quite a long time. Reading makes me feel comfortable and contented. It’s now time to read more. This semester I am relatively free. Gotta pioritize the un-attained ambitions.

很晚才回家
午飯吃了久違了的滷水乳鴿跟潮州滷水鵝
晚上接到外出邀請，因種種事而擱置
然後獨個在快餐店吃了個「元旦大餐」，隨餐竟有玩具附送
02/01/2005
看了 “Polar Express”，蠻有趣的
拾回一點童真之餘，歌也很好聽
還有打機跟買六合彩，當然還是中不了

晚上到牛頭角吃大排檔
然後發生了一件慘痛的事，畢生難忘
但仍安慰…

回家後跟Margo談了一會ICQ
想不到大家都是同一因由而久沒跟對方談話
有趣
03/01/2005
重返校園，不知將是如何的一個學期
要全力以赴
下課後吃了令人驚喜的一頓飯
然後輕鬆快樂至晚飯

在雜誌讀了則關於一個香港攝影師的訪問，原來跟葛民輝合作過
獨眼攝影師，用「傳奇」形容的確沒錯
我要記下「劉家輝」這個名字
04/01/2005
尖沙咀的一個黃昏
檢查牙齒->打機->吃甜品->打機->晚餐
然後在街的暗行跟獨腳老頭買了些什麼
打擾了著實有點不好意思，真想買多點東西
不過買得超值，也真開心
因為達到了目的呢 🙂
想像著將來的自己，現在真的要生活得健康點
