Songbird

回到香港了。最近在备考,总是觉得时间不够用,又总是能不知不觉浪费很多时间。这几年大抵也都是这样的状态。最后一年了,过去的三年有得也好有失也好总算活的挺真实,回想起来每一件事每一个朋友都好像会生机勃勃的出现在面前。前一阵在家的时候塞了那张Oasis的精选集在车里,每天都会按出CD 1的第7首歌反复听着,叫Songbird,前奏响起就总是会有种说不出的感觉,脑袋里总是会闪过各种画面。努力思索着词汇想表达出来,可是就是怎么也没办法形容。只是一遍一遍的放,没办法停下来,似乎已经不是在听歌,而是在听自己的回音。罢了,不如你们都去听听,每个人故事不同,想必理解也不同。

Oasis Time Flies... 1994 - 2009

They were with me during all my hard times;
We listened to them together when we were having our best times;
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times";
But after all it was the time of us, breezy, irreplaceable and memorable, embraced with their songs;
Delighting rhythms;
Inspiring lyrics;
I missed their concert in Hong Kong, for the last time;
But they are the oasis of my life.

力挺乌拉圭队夺冠

距离乌拉圭人第一次夺冠前后70年了,距离他们第二次夺冠有50年了,凑个整,不如再给乌拉圭人一个冠军吧。我从世界杯一开始Chrome浏览器的主题就是Uruguay,不过当时倒主要是因为设计的不错而不是因为有多么期待他们夺冠,现在既然意大利没出线,阿根廷也回家了,我力挺乌拉圭队夺冠。说来这支队伍也算是坎坷,我看的4届世界杯他们有2届没有出现,可是不知为何对他们就很有好感,(可能对南美球队除了巴西都蛮有好感吧,巴西在大罗之后就没有喜欢的人了)队服的颜色也总是让人舒服的纯色,在现代足球的一潭浮夸的污水中算是有那么点小小的与众不同。半决赛的上帝之手球也给这支队伍添上了喜剧色彩。 。最好我不要是乌鸦嘴,下一轮不要被荷兰给虐了。拭目以待吧。

下图是纪念半决赛手球救主但是下一场对荷兰不能上场的哥们苏亚雷斯。

Electric current leakage problem of Macbook Pro

I ordered a 13 inch macbook pro a couple of weeks ago. I didn't expect highly on my new macbook as I'm not a big fan of Apple. A week after placing the order, it finally got delivered to me. I teared the seal off, took the machine out, plugged it in and pressed the power bottom -- everything was awesome but hold on -- my left wrist was tingling all the time if I put it on the keyboard. I slipped my finger over the aluminium surface and the closer it is to the plug jack the stronger the tingling feel is. Then I realized it is, without a doubt, an electric current leakage. I searched on google and found quite a number of similar cases on macbook pro as its frame is made of aluminum. I didn't know whether it is a design flaw or a user error, since if I use the three-pin plug this problem would dismiss, until my roommate's mbp was found no such problem. I called the Apple service center and they offered me an exchange of my laptop right away. But it took them decades to do the return, shipment and delivery things again. Hopefully I got another brand new mbp a week later.

Unfortunately... the same problem still exists, and even more seriously. This time the whole laptop is fallen -- electric current leakage is everywhere on the surface. I'm nothing but disappointed. Don't wanna waste more time on dealing with it over and over again. I'll just use the three-pin extended plug although it is much chunkier and heavier than the original one.

Everything else on this mac is just good by far. Amazing overall design and battery life. But I'm still confused about whether the electric current leakage of metalwares is just unavoidable or it is indeed a design flaw of Apple?

Peace

This video clip made me cry. It's touching regardless the controversy of the rightness of this war. Hope for peace.
