A Quick line

I'm coming back to London on 24th September and study Electrical Engineering again.

Home at last

This is not intended to be a concisive update, in fact I'm doing this on a high speed screeching bus heading back to my home in HK. Just spoken to a couple of mates here, they're pleased that I'm back to say the least.
Well I've a lot to update but whether I bothered to do them is another question. I'll tell you more once i had back home.

Hen Wlad fy Nhadau

Suddenly I have an urge to post this here. Perhaps I was stirred by someone posting Scarborough Fair (via sf)?

Welsh Words

Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion enwogion o fri.
Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwlad garwyr tra mad,
Tros ryddid collasant eu gwaed.

CYTGAN

Gwlad Gwlad
Pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad;
Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.

Hen Gymru fynyddig, paradwys y bardd,
Pob dyffryn, pob clogwyn i'm golwg sydd hardd;
Trwy deimlad gwladgarol, mor swynol yw si
Ei nentydd, afonydd, i mi.

CYTGAN

Os treisiodd y gelyn fy ngwlad tan ei droed,
Mae hen iaith y Cymry mor fyw ag erioed;
Ni luddiwyd yr awen gan erchyll law brad,
Na thelyn berseiniol fy ngwlad.

CYTGAN

English Words

The land of my fathers is dear to me,
A land of poets and minstrels, famed men.
Her brave warriors, patriots much blessed,
It was for freedom that they lost their blood.

CHORUS

Homeland! Homeland!
I am devoted to my country;
So long as the sea is a wall to this fair beautiful land,
May the ancient language remain.

Old land of the mountains, the Eden of bards,
Each gorge and each valley a loveliness guards;
Through love of my country, charmed voices will be
Its streams, and its rivers, to me.

CHORUS

Though foemen have trampled my land 'neath their feet,
The language of Cambria still knows no retreat;
The muse is not vanquished by traitor's fell hand,
Nor silenced the harp of my land.

CHORUS

Chinese Version by myself ﹙祖傳之地，又誤譯為大地之父﹚

祖傳之地，我心所繫。
騷人墨客齊頌我美麗山河。
歷代志士，捨身取義
為祖國自由奮鬥。

副歌

祖國！祖國！我熱愛的祖國！
讓四海保衛壯麗江山，
令古老語言傳萬世。

亙古山河，詩人之國。
四方嵠谷，和藹秀麗。
河水瀠瀠、溪流潺潺；
吾愛吾土，深入心扉。

副歌

鐵蹄雖至，俘虜吾土；
祖國語言永不退縮。
梵音未滅，豎琴繞樑；
勿陷敵手曲莫停。

副歌

Please note that only the first verse it used for the anthem.

My plans on this blog space

Yes, yes, I know I've almost abandoned this space for a few months. I just haven't got the incentive to write down my thoughts here as things weren't going to well on my side. I've decided to re-post comments I have made in other places here to prop up my blog.

The Year of the Dog

狗年祝賀大家身體健康，讀書的學業進步，工作的心想事成，做生意的財源廣進。

helathy year. This is a reminder of the Year of the
Dog.

New Year Greetings

I should have been busy at the end of last term since I procastinated a lot, especially I left quite a bit of work for this holiday... Even my plans in revamping this blog has to take a back seat because of my coursework. So I think that's why although this post started before 2006, it finishes on 5 January, before I left for the flight back to London.

Well, the year 2005 has been a hectic year for myself and a lot of people. It is certainly the year that I died from the myth of "easy success". The not-too-well results from my finals have great impact for me. It makes me think harder what I should do, and planning out my future...

To be Continued...

Anyway, Blwyddyn Newydd Dda/新年進步/Happy New Year!

My Sesame Street Personality Test

Cookie Monster You scored 66% Organization, 35% abstract, and 37% extroverted!

This test measured 3 variables. First, this test measured how organized you are. Some muppets like Cookie Monster make big messes, while others like Bert are quite anal about things being clean. Second, this test measured if you prefer a concrete or an abstract viewpoint. For the purposes of this test, concrete people are considered to gravitate more to mathematical and logical approaches, whereas abstract people are more the dreamers and artistic type. Third, this test measured if you are more of an introvert or an extrovert. By definition, an introvert concentrates more on herself and an extrovert focuses more on others. In this test an introvert was somebody that either tends to spend more time alone or thinks more about herself. Monster and I personalised You are somewhat organized, more concrete, and more introverted. Here is why are you Cookie Monster. You are both somewhat sloppy. Actually you are probably a lot less messy than Cookie Monster. Cookie Monster can be messy when he is eating, but he doesn't usually lose things. You are probably mostly organized. You have a good idea where you put things and you probably keep your place reasonably clean. You aren't totally obsessed with neatness though. You both can be concrete thinkers. Cookie Monster knows what he wants (cookies!) and he consistently works toward that goal. You probably know what you want in life, and you have a real plan toward achieving it. You are both introverted. Cookie Monster only thinks about himself when he says "Me want cookies." He rarely thinks of the affect he has on others. For whatever reason you are uncomfortable in social settings. You probably have one or two people that you are close with. You'd rather do things by yourself and you dislike working in groups. The other possible characters are Oscar the Grouch Big Bird Snuffleupagus Ernie Elmo Kermit the Frog Grover The Count Guy Smiley Bert If you enjoyed this test, I would love the feedback! Also if you want to tell me your favorite Sesame Street character, I can total them up and post them here. Perhaps your choice will win!

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 76% on Organization You scored higher than 8% on concrete-abstra You scored higher than 8% on intro-extrovert

Well, that's quite expected actually, many people used to comment that I'm quite like Cookie Monster. By the way, if you don't know, Sesame Street used to be my extra favourite TV programme, I demanded it to be recorded and replayed through-out the day when I was like 5 and 6!

I'm back on the Internet...

Well, since I went back home and reprimanded of my appalling exam results, I haven't blogged for quite a while.

Since I have now got internet connection at my London flat, I can make comments on other blogs and write my own blog again. I'm really sorry for the long wait you might have encountered.

Also, I haven't changed my template yet, due to general laziness, I'll sort that out before new year (that is if I can finish my other academic stuff.

A Poem from my sister

Here is a poem from my sister. She asked me if I could publish it, so I publish it here.

River of Enternal Friendship,
Flows into Everybody's Heart,
Ends to love feather
which tickles Everybody's Heart,
All rotct apple of peace all divine.

Under Refurbishment

This blog site would be changed to a more active site as I'm going to move my active postings from Xanga to here. In the mean time please still go to my Xanga site for my blogs. ALL previous posts in this site are deleted from now on.
