忙忙忙

本來有份出去做 survey, 諗住正哂啦,而家又唔係好熱,可以出街行行行一日當做運動都好,但最後都係被迫留左喺 office,仲要我負責 prepare 所有出街街既人既 map, 唉.

不過算啦,咁我就話哂都係佢哋既頭頭,一嘗做小頭頭既滋味.但,其實其中一個出街街既人都唔服我既,不過話之佢.今日咁啱都幾凍,都算我好彩唔駛出去食西北風.

公司上個星期勁清閒既後果就係今個星期好忙囉,不過有得忙都好,好過冇野做等炒魷魚.睇情形,下個星期都係會繼續忙.

四月中,公司會有改動,唔講係乜住,因為都未正式 official,總知就唔係升職加薪(係都唔區!),但其實都應該係事在必行,到時再講過,I hope this change is for the good. 一方面好多未知數,另一方面可能會係學野既好機會,究竟是吉是禍,一切要留待下月分解.

放縱

唔理 super 既要求,最後就係乜都冇做。

屋企後園呢,好多雀仔,呢幾日又回暖,d雀出番哂黎,好多吱吱喳喳既聲,但一d都唔覺煩。唔做公司野,出左後園睇左一陣雀,但唔敢走得太遠,因為唔知幾時又要衝入厠所。

都影左少少相,後園既雀仔之中,最有特色既始終都係火紅既cardinal。

睇完左雀,打機。嘩,發現原來我好耐未打過機喇,well... 係好耐未自已一個人打機。打左都幾耐,中途又出左去睇左一陣雀同red squirrel, 再打過,然後要開始準備dinner同聽日既lunch, 其實我真係覺得自己好適合做退休人士 or 家庭住婦囉。

用痛苦換取返黎既一天休閒又快將完結喇,真係快樂不知時日過。

好老細

尋晚食物中毒,肚痛左大半晚,今朝打左電話返公司就繼續瞓,諗住起遲到返工,最後都係決定唔返,因為要出門太危險了。

咁就同上司講話都係唔返啦,instead of telling me to rest at home, he asked me if I can work from home.  有冇搞錯,公司呢排根本就唔係好多野做,上個星期五仲係冇野做冇到勁無聊,做乜要我喺屋企做啫,d野又唔係急既,我聽日返黎先做都得啦。

On the other hand, intead of saying that my super is too mean to me, maybe I should be grateful that he let me stay home...

喺屋企,邊有心情做野架,尤其是d野唔係急吖嘛,做佢個頭,我做少少,又完全集中唔到精神,加上 remote desktop, 有時個mouse or keyboard 個feedback好慢,做到忟,不如唔好做。反正我都係pay by the hour, 我唔claim你錢咪得囉。雖然呢排係幾等錢駛,但有時都真係情願喺屋企發吓呆。

蒸排骨

前晚人生第一次蒸排骨,ok喎,幾好味喎.

基本上,連詹占都讚我呢一兩年內廚藝大進,wahahahahaha...
不過,以我之前既煮嘢能力,要大進其實不難,即係由1進步到2,就有100個巴仙既進步;但由100到101,就只有1個巴仙既進步;咁我本身係接近零,就算只係進到 0.5,我既進步就是 infinity 啦!hahaha...

回春不成

尋日先話大地回春,整鬼佢,今朝又落雪.

尋日見好似咁暖咁,同詹占約埋食完飯去散步,為將來既退休生活作練習,點知勁大風囉,氣溫 literally 急降十度,認真凍到痴肺,行左唔係好遠就決定都係打道回府.

雖然好凍,但都係好既.皆因我呢幾日,日日放工心情都幾差,都唔知點解,唯一既解釋係提早更年期.但尋日出左去行一陣,返到屋企心情好好多.

行左唔係好耐,但都影左幾張左,evening 影無腳架真係唔係好掂,唔知係咪飲得太多咖啡既原故呢?In any case, 決定下次再去傍晚散步,如果攞相機既話,就唔爭在攞埋腳架.

大地回春

近幾日回暖,是春天到嗎?

我唔討厭冬天,唔會好似好多人咁每一次落雪都 complain, 但 right now, I'm totally ready for summer to come. 近兩日回暖,更加令我希望夏天快到,I miss running on the field and sweating like a pig.

其實四季之中,我最唔喜歡就係春天,成日都濕 lup lup 咁,仲記得以前喺香港朝早返到協記嗰時,d枱同d牆係可以出哂水架喎,勁誇張.而我係好唔鐘意落雨架,傾盤大雨都還可以,最唔鐘意就係毛毛雨毛毛雨咁成日落唔停,開遮又唔係,唔開又唔係,唔知佢想點.春天的好處就是代表住夏天的快將來臨.

夏天,令我好想去觀星.Really love star observation, 每一次當我躺在每天星斗之下既時候,總是覺得跟大自然好親近,跟創造既神好親近,同時亦覺得自然很奧妙.每次與星同眠,心都是好平安同好舒服的.

當然,我最討厭的就係嗰d死人蚊,我好憎佢哋但佢哋又好鐘意我,真係寃孽.

觀星,有人陪我嗎?

Mouse Problem

It's computer's mouse, not the animal.

I had been skeptical about the Apple mouse even before I bought the computer cos I simply like my logitech mouse that I bought for my old laptop too much. It's not fancy wireless or anything. In fact, it is wired but it's simple 啱我手型 and I just loved it. But as 腎腎 said, it looks nicer to have to whole setup of the same style so I have been using the Apple mouse ever since I got the new computer.

I have had problem with the speed of the mouse from day one. I'm the kind of ppl who like to set the sensitivity of the mouse motion to pretty high. I used the max setting on my Mac and I still find it too slow. I hate it when I have to lift the mouse and then put it down in order to move through the whole screen. Some ppl do not mind it and do so even when it's not necessary (like some ppl in my office) but I don't like it. I want to be able to move through the whole screen in one continuous motion.

For ppl who might now know, Apple mouse only has one button, not two like most mice do. And its scroll button is a ball that can be turned in any direction. The one button thing was the one of the main reason y I didn't switch to my logitech cos I for sure will try to do right click instinctly. But last week, I couldn't take the tracking speed of the apple mouse anymore. I decided to give my logitech a try to see if I can get a better speed out of it. And .... I LOVE IT. I found the perfect speed that I want to operate with. And to my surprised, I realized that the right-click button is actually implemented!!! Awwwwwwwwwwesome! With the apple mouse, if you want to pop up the menu that u normally get with a right click, you have to use the keyboard in combination with a mouse click. I am quite a keyboard person at work but it's a bit annoying to have to do both mouse and keyboard at the same time at home cos my hands tend to freeze at home so that I normally like to sit on it or put hand in pocket etc. I'm so glad that the right click works.

The only thing is the "back" button on my logitech. It doesn't do the "back" action on the browser but activates the "space" instead. In case I can't find a way to override that default behaviour, I will just have to live without the convenient "back" button on my mouse and have to actually press the "back" at the corner of the browser instead. Also, I lost the 360 scroll button on the apple mouse as well as the nice look for the whole apple theme. But none of them is a big deal, really. I am simply so happy with the current tracking speed of my mouse.

Yay for logitech!

Church Website (Advertising Post :P)

Wa... Friday already. This week kinda flew by.

Have been working on web site stuff on my free time at home. I have two websites to manage these days. Both of them comes from church. I inherited the management of this one site about 1.5 years ago and it has been a bit of disaster. The original site wasn't written too well so it's quite hard to manage. Luckily, most of the things on the site do not change too much so it's pretty low maintenance. I have done some changes to it but it still looks quite ugly. well...it's probably my fault. I should have done a better job on changing its look but I really don't want to...

Another site is a new born baby. It's the website for my own church. Ya, my church hasn't had a website all these time. 真是有夠 outdate 的. Anyway, this one is starting from scratch so I can get all the files and scripts organized the way I wanted. From finding web host to actually writing the html were all done in solo bcos in the tiny aging congregation that I'm in, not many ppl could help me on that. 但也由於是一手一腳的包辦,所以是很有心機的去做啦.Although it's just a very simple website, I'm no designer so it took me a quite a long time to finalize on the layout and design of the page. It's still very simple but I like it cos it's clean and neat. And that's pretty much the best I can do by myself without an artist to help me on the art side of the page.

Content 方面,shamefully, 真的是很不濟,因為也是我寫的,跟我一起讀過中學,認識我的人也知道我作文是多麼的叻.I have asked ppl to help me but I didn't get any response, 無奈地唯有自己從其他教會網頁左抄左抄的拼出來.

還有要做的是 English + Chinese. Chinese 仲要 traditional chinese + simplified chinese. 本來有個可以打中文的教友可以幫忙的,but again didn't hear much response. 咁一不做,二不休,continue solo. Hope that he can help out in the future updates of the site. Right now, I just want to get it done instead of leaving it hanging.

Finally everything is finished last night. Honestly, there's really not that much on the website right now. Mostly having the site so that ppl know that we exist. Content 方面,還是慢慢的 expand 吧.There's also not much pictures on the site (besides the gallery page). Asked for pictures and once again, no response. 唯有有時間的時候自己去拍完再 upload吧.

After so long, here's the link:
http://www.torontoclc.org

Comments and suggestions are welcome. Can either tell me directly or use the comment form on the website bcos the forms are submitted to, of course, me! haha...

I'm glad that I can use what I've learned in work in web programming 去為教會出一點點的綿力, maybe that's y I'm still stuck with this job! ha.
