um... I found myself not entirely like the job I am doing... a lot of unnecessary overnights and bad location just make my life a bit disorder. I found it difficlt to attend my sport sections... both basketball and swim...~~ um... I need to get back o track!!!!! I honestly dont mind to stay overnight or late in office for works, but, with a reason pls... I think it is the problem on the organisation of works.... um... I dont brame on him.. he needs more experience. I need to talk with him about this I guess.. yup... 1 thing I do find him annoying. He was just too much on trying to save money for company... -_- I am not entirely sure but it's quite obvious indeed. How can he asked us to leave at 23:50 (in order to save the taxi money?) provided that I was really ill during the day but still work until late. Honestly I didn't really mind, coz I could stay in brother's home. But the guy who lives in Ma On Shan -_- did he ever think of him lerh... I wondered. um...
Daat said, it is just not worthy to quit a job only because of colleague... um... I think it is more than that... I dont think I will stay here more than 3 months.. : ) hope that I will get what I want from here during this quater of year... ^__^... btw, we won the pitch with "Rice5" haha. I guess we won the strategy instead of the layout tho. Or the client just not focus on the graphics at all. Or maybe non of us ve done what they expected and we had better sincerity (we've done 3 layouts for that pitch!!!) Not for the things I wanna win for anyway... :P haha... that will be my 1st portfolio here, I will work hard on this :) Yup, also, I dont know why they have kinda chosen Eric's layout... -_- why??? -_-.... um.... I just simply dont like it... -_-

300 (7.5)
I think I can understand why some of my friends hate this movie. Basically, the whole thing is just one epic fighting scene after another. Most noticeably is the camera work and the visual effects. To me the most odd sence in the movie is the king having sex the queen... it was soooo much unnecessary.... The plot and dialogs are of the most simplistic and quite frankly dumb kind. "I fight for freedom! I'd rather die in honor then live in shame!" how odd.. *__*
I still need to give it a 7.5~~ Every shot seems like it was intended to be a work of art. The colors, the characters, the costumes, the backgrounds... every little detail has been given so much attention. During the big fights you'll also instantly notice the unique editing. There are a lot of "time slowdowns" throughout the battles which show what exactly is happening. although, thats a bit too repetitive, the fighting sences were stunning!!! It's worth watching on screen... Just dont expect an amazing story (it's from an American commerial comic after all)... you will enjoy it for sure.

Illusionist (7)
HaHa... it's been a long time since I've seen this movie :P just havent got time to write something here....
maybe I've expected a bit too much on this... haha... I was a bit disappointed with the story... and obviously, it's not as good as Prestige although they are both talk about the same kinda subject.... well, actually quite different content...
There are so many 10/10 reviews on Imbd.... but honestly they are quite shallow... The one below, who gave 7/10, is quite to-the-point though,
The film competed against The Prestige for Best Cinematography Oscar, and has a very distinctive look, based on an early colour photography process called 'autochrome'. Philip Glass, one of the most important contemporary composers and well respected for his film scores, seamlessly maintained the flow of the movie (even if it did sound disturbingly similar to his score for The Hours). But the consummate production values and perfectly combined talent going into The Illusionist is also its weakest point. Where The Prestige hit an unsettling nerve by keeping the audience unsure of the plot development, The Illusionist, appealing to a wider market, is engaging but controlled. The surprise ending is icing on the cake of a sumptuously professional piece of entertainment. Elegant and mesmerising, skilfully saturated with stylish energy, a tale of forbidden love that will delight as an intelligent date movie or as family entertainment. Production line it might be, but top of the range. Or so we are meant to believe.

We went to Dover and Cantanboury.. !! haha it's a nice place... but you know Sunday = engineering day... all trains are just having problem all around England... you wont miss it if you have to travel by train. we arrived Dover at 2 something finally... had a pretty crap Sunday Roast... haha... visit a bit the Dover Castle... We didn't get into it coz it was just 1 hour before it close.... T__T and after we left, Euniz told me it's actually very famous inside.... shit... and we didn't even have time to go outside and see the whiteclift coz we had to catch on the last bus to go back to school with Ivan.... well... maybe I wasn't in the mood... I thought. it's okay... now I am a bit regret...although I have actually seen that in person, I never take any picture for it... um.... maybe somehow I will come back again... and I kinda think we do have to drive in order to find somewhere we can take good picture.... anyway... somehow I think i will come back again.. and then we went to Canterbury... which was a surprise, a very nice town... and they told me that's a very famous tourise attraction point indeed... haha... well... it's kinda nice.. but not that much my stuff :) Anyway... I was happy to be there... the church was nice..
um... I read an email by accident... T___T um.... feeling damn bad.. maybe I m just an extra here... bringing trouble, stop you meeting him for 10 fucking long day... come on... i m leaving... just bring him home... have a nice fuck... damn you, whatever... shit... why u have to treat me good? um.... maybe I understand you in my mind.. but I think I have a right to be angry and not thinking logically... T___T um....
A friendly worm said hi to us in Cantanboury. ^___^

Bank the checque, sort out the phone, went to office and had a nice lunch with Darius and John, swim a bit.. :) shopping a bit... so many things wanna buy... but I think I will go to portabello again get them cheaper... hope that I will have enoguth space to bring them all :P Had a nice dinner with Stef... i know you try hard to be nice to me....

A picture taken from soho square in lunch time ^__^ such a nice afternoon~
Came to Tina's home tonight^___^ thanks for letting me stay.... :) kisskiss...~~ and your nice bf Antony :D
4th day (13/03)
Honestly it is a bit boring during week days... No one was free to be with me.... just keep doing some shopping, waiting for times to go, waiting for the dinner with friends....
I went to a nice Italian restaurant with Euniz today.... :) Willium as well... it seems that he is doing okay... at least he had a chance to work in a big adv agency in London... although he don't even know what is BTL and ATL... um... just something you can tell people as an experience.. haha....
5th day (14/03)
The biggest thing I have done today is to go to the cafe which I wanted to go for long time but since its opening hours are only 10:00-18:30 everyday... everytime I couldn't make it... :P haha.... Their coffee are fucking damn great... of cause the best I have ever had within half year!
Fantastic window displace as usual in Liberty.
6th day (15/03)
Kinda waiting-for-time-to-go day.
7th day (16/03)
I went to see the exhibition Face of Fashion in National Portrait Gallery. Photos from 5 famous fashion photographers, Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, Corinne Day, Steven Klein, Paolo Roversi and Mario Sorrenti, were shown. I was totally impressed when I saw the photos in it's original size instead of a sungle page in magazines. I espeically love one of the photos from Steven Klein in which he put thousands of textures into one single picture. It was just amazing!!!
I had kinda started a fight with Stephane... because we couldn't rent a car to go where we planned... honestly I thought it's not only his fault but also mine... what made me really angry was he didn't want to wake early during his lovely holiday as usual -_- Which is so annonying when I have such a limited time... um... I know I was very kiddy temper... Didn't agreed to anything... but I had no idea of where I wanted to be honestly... anyway... we decided to go Portsmouth finally.
8th day (17/03)
We went to the train station quite early and got on the train we planned to. The rail service in UK are suck every weekend... How many engineering work they want to have? we spent almost 3 hours to there (originally 1:15 hr train) -_-.... so no point to take the train there... I got into the shop super quickly... coz Stef was showing his trademakred dark face when I do shopping... -_- Honestly there are not much to see in Portsmouth.... but... it is not that bad neither.... When u arrive a new place you never go, it is all about how much you wanna spend to find something interesting... um... that's my 7th or 8th time to go there... of cause I wouldn't find too much fun... but come on... it's not my fault to make us here... -_- um.. We took a ferry to go Isle of Wight after lunch... See... if we go out late... where do you think we could go? It would have no plan B at all~~ The pier there was very interesting!!! It was almost all corrupted... and the massive corrupted metal wall was the biggest I have even seen...! haha... there's nothing specail besides the pire. We had a bad dinner that night... in a Maxican (that's what they called themselves) restaurant. What they do was totally pub food... very bad one.... It was so amazing that someone had reserved some tables there... I can't imagine someone would eat there and come back again... even to reserve a table... Maybe, London is the only place in England where you can find nice restaurants. -_-
9th day (18/03)
We wanted to hire bike and ride to Alum Bay, the west point of the island. Luckily we couldn't find one... The road to where we wanted to go is totally unaccessable with bikes :P. Plus it was a fucking windy day! It's like the typhoon signal 10 in HK! but in a sunny day! how strange it is... It's even stronger than the one in Greece... But this time is nicer... coz the sunny weather... It seems to be less dangerous than last time. It's a super cool place though... I love there... After all these... We tried to get back to London earlier... We kinda expected a bad traffic back to London and of cause, they didn't let us down! We spent 5 hours or more in a supposed-to-be-1.5-hour journey! -_-... damn..... The ferry supposed to be 15mins. But they cancelled the normal service and replaced that with those big one for cars. And it was from another port. AND it took us 2.5 hours to cross that less than 1km sea. I was thinking to get some more gift from Portsmouth but when we arrived there.. all shops were already closed. T___T
10th day (19/03)
I had got back to POP and worked for a night with Darius.... it was quite funny indeed... Darius is getting better to work with. I worked with him until 3:30 in the morning! haha... He must be damn tired... started from 9 am to 3 am the next day... I was started from 7 tho. :P
11th day (20/03)
NO ONE PICK UP MY CALL in my last day in London!!!! Tina was not feeling well as I thought... BUT how's everyone else!? Well... I do enjoy the time by myself though... I was just annoyed by everyone missed my call!!! T___T Anyway... It wasn't a bad day. I went to the 2nd hand shop in Notting Hill Gate and sold a few of my stuff (which I wanted to throw) for £20!!!!!! haha overjoyed!!!! btw, Bernard is always giving negative response which make me really annoyed... Please stop it babe... you are sweeter than you could be... And I went to central and visit the Cafe again ^___^ yea... Monmouth I think it is one of the best coffe shop in the world!!! In the nicely decorated, closey atmosphere, super tiny shop ~~ there are only appox. 10 seats in total... Doubtless, their coffee is one of the best in London. All different kinda people, from different fields, different age groups go there... We don't mind the long queue always and the short openning hour (they only open Mon-Sat, until 18:45). We don't mind to sqeeze into the tiny seat and table, share the tiny space with totally strangers. even mind to sit outside the shop... Just want to enjoy a coffee made with heart... In that day, I was sharing a 6 seats table (you would say that's for 4 in a normal restaurant) with another 4 people. 2 came alone (40 year-old businessman and a 30 sth. English guy) and another 2 came together (look like a Mathematician or Physicist). On my back, there were 2 (very traditional english) old ladies just trying to squeeze into a table where 2 young, fashionable young ladies. It was another 2 very classy BBC were looking for seats when I was about to leave... ^__^ can you imagine the scene? Plus 2 handsome and another few very friendly staffs... No one can miss it, init?
After the coffee, I went to swim... my last swim before I go... ^___^ It was such a nice day... and then I went back stef's home... packed my rest of my stuff.. waited for Bernard a bit... and head to the airport with Stef... :) I was so so so lucky again.... I was in the same flight with Brian... haha... Well... you know... my luggages are quite a bit overweight as usual :P haha... and he just had not much to bring... :) I passed the gate again~~ (everyone in HK ar... you can't say a word ar... I am bringing a lot of gifts for you guys with me ar ^__^ wait and see la...
Yup... thanks for Stef... Although you made stuffer a lot... you tried your best to make me feel better... -__- still not very well... but I have no choice anyway.... maybe you think not even you... um... whatever...
It was a nice trip except that.
