Last week my colleague Nelson has caught the swine flu. The government clinic gave him 2 days sick leave only. The Head of Admin is very much concerned about the matter, and advised him not to go to work last week. The Admin Dept also arranged a staff to measure our body temperature twice a day. Alcoholic pads and spay were also available at ( Read more... )

Last night my family and I have celebrated Wai Wai, my nephew's 5 years old birthday.  Wai Wai likes vehicle toys, and is a fan of Thomas.  So I have bought Thomas toys as his birthday gift, while Elsa has bought tram and mini-bus toys as gifts.  I asked Wai Wai which one he loves most, and he said "all three".  It seems that he knows how to please ( Read more... )

I have collected my JLPT 2 certificate last Saturday afternoon.  When I woke up at Sunday morning, however, I couldn't find my certificate.

I remember clearly that I have taken my certificate to home and put it on my dining table.  I thought that it must be Lam who has put it to somewhere else when he cleaned our home at Saturday night.

Me:  Where ( Read more... )

もうすぐ一年すぎた。Animelyrics.tv のなくなったこと。

今は、いいとこを見つけた。とても楽しんでいる。だけど、今度はわたしの行方を公開するつもりはない。
Dot tv のみんなが知らないとこで彷徨いたいんですから。
とはいえ、Dot tv はまるでわたしの母校だった。あの二年間、毎日みなさんと日本語で話してあって楽しんだもんだ。みなさんのかげで、自分の日本語も進んでいく。でも、別れは人生だ。みなさんが大人になって、この管理人さんの見守られることはもうない。わたしのただひとつの望みはみんなが幸せに生きてることだ。これもわたしの祈りだ。縁があれば、いつかどこかでまた君たちと会えるかな。

This morning we have experienced a blackout during office hour.  Luckily emergency lighting have been installed in our company lately and so we were not totally invisible of anything.  Later on, the Administrative manager came and said that the blackout was due to a shortage of electricity supply by the electric company ( Read more... )

Yesterday I received a coupon from the JLPT authority to exchange for a free copy of the 2007 JLPT 2 Questions & Answers Booklet together with a CD for the 2007 listening test.  I have already exchanged for it this noon.  I don't have time to read it yet, but...  it's nice to have the booklet and CD, because it means that my exam fee of HK$380 will ( Read more... )

Yesterday night I have received an annual mortgage statement from my bank, which states that I have already repaid ALL of the home mortgage due to the bank on 25th July, 2008.  Phew!  I knew that the mortgage should have been finished by this summer, but I didn't even have time to check the exact date because I am really busy.  I don't even have ( Read more... )

More and more earthquakes have been taken place recently - in Sichuan, China, Greece and now in Japan.  Some of my friends who have no religious belief of any kind also recognize that there is something wrong with this Planet Earth.  As a Christian, I must tell all of you the truth, just in case you don't know or haven't heard before.  Because ( Read more... )

Lam and I went to Macau again last saturday when the highest black rainstorm warning signal was issued by the Hong Kong Observatory.  Since Macau is so close to HK, the weather is almost the same - heavy rainstorm, thunder and flooding.  If I have not bought the ship tickets 2 weeks ago, I really shouldn't have travelled in such a bad weather.
