Absent-minded

I dunno why but I'm just a kinda missing the days back in Beijing. Do you guys still remember this?

首尔一周

到首尔一周了，还没开始上课。所以要么宅在房间要么就四处游荡。游荡的问题就在于语言不通。韩国人看到我们一伙人一定会先看着我讲韩语，因为我不是白人,总被以为是导游什么的。 -__- 那我也就不客气了，每次都听完大叔大妈说一堆韩语，然后很坦地摇摇头说一句，我不明白，:-D

礼拜五下午吴昊从美国回来在首尔转机，就出城来找我玩。多亏了韩语中文都很牛逼的LES同学从牙山赶来，我们得以解决语言障碍:-)。在这么个还陌生的城市能和遇到这些个朋友突然会有种他乡遇知己的流泪的冲动T_T

在学校里基本还没找到机会说中文，宿舍里面估计快三分之二是加州那边来的，很多是ABK，所以一眼望过去是亚洲人的样子也千万不能随便下结论。九月一号开学就要抓紧学韩语，以便能在附近生活自如一点。

贴一张首尔站附近某大街黎明前的照片，那天通宵后刚好在天亮时路过顺手拍下。

All go without saying, and always have, always will.

One month in Beijing

转眼就从北京回来了，这些日子也一直没有更新博客，仿佛这一个月是做了场梦一样。在北京的日子很开心，认识了一班好朋友，也见到了很多老朋友。我喜欢上了北京、爆肚和卤煮火烧。北京留给我的记忆已经远超出了简单的对城市的感觉，他让我有种不知源于何地抑或源于何事的眷恋。走街串巷一个多月，现在我很熟北京了，司机想要坑我那已经是不可能的了。我想多年以后，我也不会忘记在凉凉湿湿的雨后走在七九八的一行人，不会忘记那条上班要走的燥热漫长的路以及一起走在路上的同学仔们，还有月初的雷雨交加和月末的烈日当空，门口的王府井小吃街和店里播放着的不搭调的音乐。不是ONE NIGHT IN BEIJING，我们也可以留下许多情。

这几天在香港很忙，处理完了好多学校里的事情，今晚回家，礼拜四就动身去云南了。如果丽江真如传说中那么好，那就请让我用一周时间在安静的世外桃源忘掉所有的烦恼吧。

Solutions to the "Disk Error" and "hal.dll missing" problems during the installation of Windows XP on Mac

I came across a problem when helping a friend to install the XP SP3 on her Mac Air through Boot Camp 2.0.

After partitioning the hard disk using Bootcamp, the Air restarts and the Windows is normally installed until the partition choosing screen.

If I choose to install the Windows on the partition previously created by boot camp and remain the format unchanged, "Disk error" information appears after my next restart (before the normal "windows xp" shown on the screen).

However, if I choose to delete the partition then rebuild and format it (no matter by NTFS or FAT32) afterwards, “hal.dll missing or corrupt” message appears after restarting the Air.

The "Disk error" problem is because the Boot Camp 2.0 merely segments the partition but does not create it in the Windows format. Thereby we need to format that partition again during the installation of the Windows.

However, since there is an unpartitioned space of 128MB after boot camp creates the mass partition in which you expect to install the Windows, if you delete the partition, it will be merged with the 128MB space and the two parts will be formated together. It creates the hal.dll problem because the 128MB unpartitioned space must not be touched during the installation.

Consequently, the way to solve the problem is:

1. Create the Windows partition using Boot Camp in Mac OS conventionally and restart the computer.
2. (Very Important) Press F10 after the drivers of Windows are loaded (a black screen will show up very shortly between the blue screens, press F10 when it shows up!!).
3. The Recovery Console will hence start up. Type C:\>format c: /Q /FS:FAT32 , remind that the spaces before and after /Q must not be eliminated. If your root directory is not C:\ then change it to your root directory. And if you want NTFS, just use NTFS instead of FAT32.
4. Press Enter and restart your computer. Then just follow the normal procedures to install the Windows and you will Succeed! (do not need to format the partition again in the later installation)

Hope your new operating system works well!

这个期末我丫力大

今天考完了BLaw，又开始背Marketing，脑袋愣是清不空，看着ppt就犯晕，高三背历史政治好象也挺顺利的，这回算是卡带了。3门考试中间，突然又有通知要去interview，太不靠谱了。大家都考完歇菜了，我还得守着讲义，只能望梅止渴一下，这三天过了，暑假就以欺实马的速度飞奔而来了。现在我压－力大阿，回头再接着写。

猪流感

今天香港已经确诊一个猪流感的病例了，虽然都已料到香港不可幸免，但是真的确诊的时候还是有点神经紧绷。电视里紧急插播的新闻让人不禁联想，是不是又会开始人人自危的日子？希望大家保重，减少出门，或者就索性囤积粮草，如果宅，请深宅...
