Mrs. Au Wedding

Instead going for the RE christmas gethering, I choose to go for Ms. Au ( my history teacher in F.6-7) Wedding first even I was not directly invited by her.

I havnt seen her since F.7. I believed that she can't recognized even we met on the street :P. Anyway, it is a moment full of joy. This is the first time a witness the wedding in the Church . It is .sooooooooo GREAT!
They are blessed by Father's , sister and brothers and everyone else in the Church. They are 2 become one now! May God bless them Happy together FOREVER!!!

Sentence in my mind now:
As quoted from Ms Au :幸福唔係必然．我倆是完全不同性格的人，一lup一 tut，中間的空間是由其他人的blessing, 我倆先會結婚．　

For the Tsunami last year today 26/12/2005: 珍惜眼前人．

P.S Sorry to my RE classmate, please leave a present for me ar~!!!

Witness my 三姑姐batizism this afternoon. She cried as she was so happy to see us witness this unforgettable moment with her even his son was not there for some reason.

Amongst the 姑姐s, she should be the most dependent one. Her lifes changes alot esp when my grandpa and her husband passed away years ago. I knew she should be completely breakdown, as even I can felt the pain in every Tsing Ming Festival.

With her trust in God, seems her tense become eased. She is no longer alone now. I can share her happiness after she become part of the God's family.

Last but not the least, my another 姑姐 ask me ' When will be yours (batizism)?' I can't reply.

Get connected to my mentor again!!

Carmen,

Great to hear from you and it sounds as if you are getting some good experience at the Lands Department. As you rightly say we do need to rethink some of our administrative and empowerment procedures to ensure that it is not possible for developers to manipulate the system and I genuinely believe that the Government lease must be the ultimate control document and that you cannot leave important matters which allow developers additional GFA to the discretion of others.

It would be nice to catch up in the New Year. Give Maria a ring and fix to come in to the office for a chat.

Meanwhile a very Happy Christmas and successful 2006 as it is your APC year.

Best wishes,


Nicholas Brooke
Chairman
Professional Property Services Group

Interim Report !! K.O

Finally submitted the interim report this afternoon.
Gotta celebrate! together with the Christmas!!
I finally feel the Christmas today!!!

Soo many things want to buy...so many things need to buy!

New office, new supervisor.

Super exhausted this morning. Because Carrie (the other ESG) and I were urgently assigned to update 18 comparables developments for valuation (about 40 units each) of the residential development above the Nam Cheong KCR station.
We received this task on 1230 yesterday but the deadline is by 530. Surely we cant finish as the PC room for comps will be closed at 530 sharp. Not until this afternoon, at about 3. WE finally finshed updating, without having lunch.

My new supervisor, Xenia is famous for her abilty, her attitude and her ''tone'' of commenting others (esp. towards ESG) . Luckily she is more nice now when compared then 2 years before, at least, I never heard of someone cried after blamed/insulted by her this year.

While self-recommend to follow this 'famous' supervisor, I already expected this kind of task will come. Yet, she should be the best that I can learn from.

中山兩日遊

昨日與朋友們到中山兩日一夜，住中山星晨花園，arrived there at about 6pm. 到小肥羊食晚餐，位位$40．
今早去了划艇仔，飲茶後到草莓埸採草莓，接著去按摩，按腳，好舒服呀～
然後回港．
經過今回返大陸，我諗都係時候換回鄉卡，otherwise 會再比人...-__- 難怪既，畢竟係９年前影的相．．．．．

Milton Lau is my most respected tutor in the university.

【明報專訊】一名理工大學建築及房地產學系講師，昨凌晨懷疑醉酒駕駛私家車，在長沙灣十字路口被另一名同樣涉嫌醉酒男子駕駛的七人車攔腰猛撼，私家車失控打白鴿轉碰及在路邊等客之的士。大學講師及七人車上兩名女乘客受輕傷，兩名司機事後俱涉醉駕被捕帶署。

兩醉司機下車激烈爭吵
涉醉駕的理大講師柳志康（42歲），頸部扭傷，連同七人車上兩名受輕傷女子梁╳美（24歲）和關╳群（26歲）一併送院，經敷治後全部出院。警員事後到場替柳及七人車司機何╳亮（29歲）進行酒精呼氣測試，證實兩人體內酒精含量俱超出標準，將兩人拘捕帶署，稍後準以5000元擔保外出，下月11日返警署報到。
柳在理大建築及房地產學系任職講師，記者事後致電其辦公室，惟一直無人接聽。據現場消息稱，柳駕駛的私家車內，有數本從理工大學圖書館借出的書籍。根據理工大學網上資料，柳原留學英國倫敦大學念經濟，其後再進修有關房地產、會計及法律等，擁有多項專業資格。
現場為長沙灣東京街與青山道交界十字路口。事發昨凌晨2時37分，柳獨自駕駛本田雅廓私家車沿青山道向旺角方向行駛，當駛至上址路口時，突然被一輛尾部貼有大型貼紙的白色七人車攔腰猛撼，因撞擊力猛烈，私家車車頭氣袋彈出，繼而打白鴿轉，尾部碰及一輛泊在路邊等客之的士，的士司機連╳忠無受傷。
3人輕傷送院
七人車車頭嚴重損，車上兩名女乘客受輕傷，何無受傷，下車與柳理論。
據悉，兩名司機在理論期間發生爭執，後更愈吵愈激烈，適逢有巡警途經見狀，以為有人意外後欲大打出手，於是通知上峰增援，大批警員到場始發現雙方並無打架，遂召救護車將傷者送院。

1st day in Valuation

The situation here (physically) is far away from my expectation.
I really need some mentally support.
Or..maybe I just think too much!?

God, please help me to overcome that......

Last day in DLO/HKE

I will be posted Valuation Section at North Point Goverment Office tomorrow until my contact ends (Sept 2006) together with 12 others ESG. SEems a big family~he?

THE INTERVIEW WITH GOD (copied from a friend's xanga)

I dreamed I had an interview with God. "So you would like to interview me?" God asked."If you have the time?" I said. God smiled. "My time is eternity. What questions do you have in mind for me?"
"What surprises you most about humankind?"
God answered...
"That they get bored with childhood,they rush to grow up, and then long to be children again."
"That they lose their health to make money...and then lose their money to restore their health."
"That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present,
such that they live in neither the present nor the future."
"That they live as if they will never die, and die as though they had never lived."
God's hand took mineand we were silent for a while.And then I asked..."As a parent, what are some of life's lessons you want your children to learn?"
"To learn they cannot make anyone love them. All they can do is let themselves be loved."
"To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others."
"To learn to forgiveby practicing forgiveness."
"To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love, and it can take many years to heal them.""To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most,but is one who needs the least."
"To learn that there are people who love them dearly, but simply have not yet learned how to express or show their feelings."
"To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently."
"To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves."
"Thank you for your time," I said humbly. "Is there anything else you would like your children to know?"God smiled and said, "Just know that I am here... Always."

DLC this morning

DLC this morning. Just 2 cases. Again is DLO/ S & W (not my district actually), but as a ESG, I will grasp every chanse to hear.

Both the cases are related to Royal Yacht Club. First, is the renewal of recreational lease at Middle Island. Second, is the proposed Short Term Tenancy (STT) for boat storage somewhere adajcent to the lot.

The lease is going to expire on 24.5.2006 and the RHKYC therefore apply for an renwal for extra 21 years. Its a straight forward case, despite some disussion over the old and new version of the lease and the maintenance of the rock behind the club house.

The second one is the proposed STT near the club. It is currenly Seabed .(which is defined as 'Land' also in the view of Cap 127). RHKYC asked for a piece of land for boat storage in 1990. Reclamation is proposed since 1995. However, Permanent land granted is not supported. STT is resulted. (problem: Reclamation in STT nature? will that be reform back to seabed once the STT is expired? probably wont.. but LACO reinstated : ''Please dont expected it is a Permanent land grant, its just a STT''...funny case, last 15 years already.)

SO..thats last DLC I attend here in DLO/HK. I shall move to HQ/V next week.

Perhaps Love
