Day 0 -

yesterday, i spent all day to plan the self-explore. i used many brain juice -o- extremely tired. at night, i started to pack my belongings into luggage. super extremely tired!! d___... when i finished "compaction" on my luggage, i get a G__ D___ GOOD NEWS!! the tripod was still under the table of prj72... my goody pc at proj lab ^^"

so, this morning, when i woke; i brought my a__ back to project lab. a bad news to me, i have had at least 5 meals today -.- 60.5kg (last week) ... 2 meals at home, 2 in airport, and 1 on plane. i think, when i get back from london, i should be somewhere around 62kg.

Day 1 -

tired !! we leave airport at around 8am and we first settled down ourselves in hotel.

later on, we headed to greenwich. we went by tube. this was the first time for me to travel by tube. however, i dun think it's difficult to travel with.

when we first reached greenwich, we first get lunch. however, something unhappy happened. we noticed that we need to reunion at somewhere we don't know ... G__! at last, we gather together at restaurant and find the way to the reunion point lately. by the way, we got to greenwich observatory! something cool is that the environment near the observatory is extremely relaxing and comfortable. i have long time no walking through a peaceful and relaxing Green Heaven.

after that, we go to the musceum nearby and "take a look". i have no time to go throught everything.. >.<>.< ) moreover, i got a new term - "light field rendering" this rendering method is not rendering the polygon, but the light way itself. that's cool!! at night, we go to a theater for a musical "mary poppins". it talks about a lady who teach the kids something to belief and behave ... "anything can happen if you let it" Good Story! - - - Day 3 - i hurt my left foot today /_\ no mood to visit although edinburgh is fantastic ... i get a book today ... the gift for myself XD (happy birthday^^ shing) on the other hand, i am very tired... carrying a heavy baggage all the day ... G__! - - - Day 4 - yesterday, we met Taku... we got a good meal, and a good tour to national gallery and the castle. today, we go to the university! in the cricket lab, i got a message "even a cricket is so small, it's already very complex" after the university visit, i tried my first visit to cathedral! that's extremely wonderful when i first step inside it. i got a "shock" when i take the first look inside! - - - Day 5 - today, i went to so many scenic spots, i enjoy the parks in london very much. the british are putting a wood into a city!! there are birds, fishes, and even wild 松鼠. at night, i went to covent garden. when i get there, some people are dancing. they enjoy their dance and the audience also. i headed to the market. someone is playing magic! good show! and good night! (an observation ... difference between chinese and british... whenever there is a street performance, chinese are audience while british are player in the performance. british yell, scream, shout when they are enjoying the performance while chinese do not. british are actually enjoying their participation instead of the performance.) - - - Day 6 - =D food tour. british, itialian, french, thai, indian, chinese... food in uk are expensive >.<>.< !! buy a hat to make myself warm ^^v

Day 8 -

this writing is written when i am drinking at the bar of the hotel in london. today, we come back from cambridge. we did take a ride on river cam. i know why mathematical bridge is so called "mathematical bridge" now... that's because the bridge use maths to build with wood without nail and it's designed by Issac Newton. G__!!

moreover, we got to dept of engineering of university of cambridge. we climbed up to the roof in the dept tour =D first time for me to climb up to the roof. (this study tour gave me a lot of "first time")

today, i chatted a lot with prof ip. he's very nice ! we talked about science park, his career, cityu's student difficulties, and machine learning. i like to talk to him as i talk to dr kwok. i learnt a lot from them ^^

besides, i talked about my fyp with my "new friend" - chu. he also talked about his "previous" fyp (fyp few weeks ago -.-") a good idea exchange ^^

(G__! a false alarm break out tonight. some of our teammates were scared, some of them were feeling nothing happened, some of them were still staying in their room, when a fire alarm broke ... i am angry... because some of them said they need to get back their belongings while some of them brought along their souvenir down to the ground ... -.-) nothing much to say, good night!

Only two days left behind from the start of our study tour~
Very excited!

Boys and gals, are you ready? :P

Hope we have a nice trip, and learn a lot of thing.

Work Hard!

Continue Speaking English...

After finished all of my tasks about teaching staff in office, my teammates and I had a meeting with Dr Clubb yesterday.

This was our third meeting and we have discussed freely with many topics: our placement works in office, our FYP proposal, our preparation on the tour.... He shard something about his family, his past experiences and other topics.

Thanks Dr Clubb very much! I will share my experiences about the tour with you and drink together~! :-)

a chance to understand more about HK

Recently, i am concentrate on my article 2 and the place that i write is Lantau Island. Through some research of this place, i found that Lantau Island is quite different from what i expected before. I some picture abt Lantau Island and found that it is really quite beautiful. From this, i really think i dun know abt HK so much. HK ppl are very busy, they all have many things to do and so do us, we hv to do our asg study the exam and test. This make us overlooked the place that we belong to. This year is the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region's 10th anniversary, and there is a theme song for this event, i dunno did u guys listen it before. if you didn't, go and listen it. I think this song is quite good that not all the singers invloved are the pop singer, you can find Mo Wah Lun is the video.

ha~I think i will try to know HK more after the exam~

Does Blogging really Help?

At the beginning of this semester, I never ever blog with English. I afraid to think in English, and I afraid to write in English. However, because of the University requirement, I took an English written language course in this semester. (A big disaster for me..)

In the course, I required to write many articles. Not long, but not short. As a result, I practiced writing a lot in the course. At the same time, I joint the study tour. As all you know, we needed to write 3000 words.. GOD.. A challenge for me. By the way, I accomplished the task!

Today, close to the end of this semester, I find myself do not afraid to write and to think in English. However, I still get many problems in using English. For example, the grammar. I treated written English as Spoken English.. Just like blogging..

So, does blogging really help on my written English?

Actually, not in grammar; but I am now comfortable to blog with English.

NameTag Design

I was running out of my energy on Database assignment, IAD project and SEP report. So I decided to move my attention to the NameTag design of Study Tour. Luckily, I enjoyed it and had a lof of fun. Here I would like to express my thanks to Kevin who taught me a lot on design. Above is my design of NameTag. Your comments are welcomed!
