Thoughts beyond my life & my travel - Bel

After 4 lessons of archery, it's the first time for me to record my scores. I guess mine was not too bad though the target was not far at all. Of course, it's nothing compared to those who practised for a year or more. Their score was like 220 or above. Hardly they shot score less than 9. But I'm sure I could do it if I'll do it for months. My week of entertainment wasn't as good as planned. The Eason's concert last Friday was not as good as the news reported. I didn't like the fast songs, the costume and the animation. I sat a bit far from the stage this time, feeling less connected with the singer. The movie Amazing Grace shouldn't score 7.8 in Internet Database. The plot was great but it's rather fragmented and hardly could arouse the emotion from the audience. The drama on Hong Kong TV media was a disppointment today. I should have gone to see the music festival in Macau with the free ticket given by a friend of mine. Anyway, I was indulged with...

Though " Becoming Jane " didn't receive good review, I went to see this movie anyway to learn more about Jane Austen. Somehow, transforming the love story of a famous writer could be a hook for many fiction fans. I've been into love with "Pride & Prejudice" and "Elizabeth Darcy" in her novel. She's wit, brave, intelligent, elegant and fearless. Obviously Jane Austen based on her first love to write the First Impression, later it's called Pride & Prejudice. Elizabeth and Jane as in P&P are exactly the copy cats of herself and her sister. The sisters were very close to each other. Balls were the fashion of the time and the good spots to socialize. They were not afraid to show their emotion and love to pursue men. Finding husbands were essential. Being calculative on how much income one receives was important at the time. It's not quite understandable till I saw these two movies and read more about the historical background of ...

It's a bit shocking, yet amazing to read the news about a scientist working on the possibliity of humans marrying robots. Read this: "My forecast is that around 2050, the state of Massachusetts will be the first jurisdiction to legalize marriages with robots," artificial intelligence researcher David Levy at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands told LiveScience. Levy recently completed his Ph.D. work on the subject of human-robot relationships, covering many of the privileges and practices that generally come with marriage as well as outside of it. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21271545/wid/11915829?GT1=10450 Somehow I believe more women may be interested in having a robot as a partner than a live human-being if we can programme the robot into a desired one. At least it's free of hassle and free of many relationship programme.

So I found a chance to go for a short golf trip soon. See what I've just got? A new golf bag. It's nothing special but it's smaller, lighter and more handy for carrying across the border. Now I've got new golf shoes and new golf bag. I'm ready to go for it!

Have you ever felt you knew a person and realised that you didn't? Once I was told one of my IT colleague actually knows how to speak Swedish as he decided to go all the way to Sweden to see the world. Now he wants to compete in an International Taekwondo Competition to see if he can break more bricks than his competitors. Interesting? Then my intern talked about she has been teaching private pinao classes for almost 10 years. What? She started to teach when she's 14. Young generation in this decade is really multi-talented and mature early. Today, I learnt from my yoga teacher that she is also a hair-stylist. Right, I probably should go and try it out to see whether people can have totally different talents. So, should I explore my second job other than my profession? What can I be? Maybe I can be a yoga teacher too. And I probably enjoy doing some less brainy jobs in a golf club when I retire. But I'd better finish my study first.

Stuffy weather was only suitable for indoors activities. I went to see the Sotheby's exhibition with a friend and witnessed how the real auction was like. I had enough of fake photo shooting and video shooting. TV and cinemas were not the real things either. Somehow it's a bit surprising to see how many rich people were out there. A picture was auctioned out in a minute or two, followed by another one and another one. I stood there for 5-6 minutes and 5-6 photos were auctioned out already. It's quite mechanical for the auctioneer, not an exciting tight bid as one could see on TV. The most popular display section was the jewellery and watches. Perfectly green jade, sparkling enoromous diamonds and precious antiques from our ancient history all caught our attention. Quite many interested buyers examined the pieces closely with torches, manifique glass inch by inch. Oh, how come so many people appreciate and know how to tell whether the antique is real or not. Women were not ...

Have you ever craved for something? It can be a chocolate, a dream house, a Mercedes or round-the-world ticket. At this moment, I just yearn for finishing my study, then I'm free to read the books I prefer the best, travel according to my schedule and idle when I don't need to think or do anything. Study part time in the evening is never like the student life I used to have. People don't get together or are as close as before. We all have our own lives, our busy schedule to cope with life, family, finance and many more. I don't bother to deal with my classmates and I feel more close to classmates from other stream than my own class. It's a bit strange but I care more about whom I like rather than who are in my class. I booked a session with the photographer I used before for corporate photo shooting. Thanks god! I could make it this week to meet the schedule despite many told me that the rooms were available and how difficult it was. I just kept calling and praying ...
