Thank you Mouse's help and advice for buying a new AntiVirus Program --- NOD 32, and step-by-step instruction for clearing virus through Phone ^___^

The conclusion is that even an educator, his/her computer can also be very dirty.

Is changing to Mac is the ultimate solution?

Violin Day:

Morning: DipABRSM Program Note Teaching

Afternoon: Violin Class teaching, including one class no ppl come...hoho ^__^.  2nd class students are good and willing to learn.  But got one terrible information from them (the previous teacher told them),

"Add olive oil to lubricate the peg if it is too tight!"

Fuck! Am I too stupid as a violin player for a long time or she is too advanced?  What about peanut oil, corn oil, pig oil, etc if i like other taste/smell @____@

Thus, Miss Dxxxx Yxx from APA should always be BLACK LISTED

----------------------

Wan Chai, famous (cooled) milk-tea, 雞批和菠蘿油, once i bite them, i feel they are super FAT!!!!!!!

Orfeo visit

Nowadays, such customer service doesn't work!

How much is this violin?  How much for teacher's rate? How much this mute?  How much for teacher's rate?  What is the brand of this E-string?  I haven't seen before.  How much?

ALL can't be answered within a few min!!!!!!!!!!

Finally, the Boss, Danny Chan comes out and answers me for awhile, then go away!!!

(i bought back my super expensive violin mute @_____@)

----------------------

Sushi Dinner, waited over 1 hour.  Nothing special, especially the "famous" long sushi @____@ No fish taste @_____________@ while the sashimi on rice is quite ok!

Fact is always hard to accept.

At this moment, it seems that I am on the never-return road (不歸路) going very far from my HOMES: home of mine and home of academy.

一個人食燒肉燒鴨飯+奶茶走甜是不好受的.

CUHK, HKU, BU, APA, Columbia, Chicago, Stanford, etc...

Finally I have time to post my recent photo-works @ Lee Hysan Concert Hall:

Ginny and Shing (23rd June 2006)

Joe and Ka Yan (30th June 2006)

--------------------

Teaching violin class:

First class: no students come

Second class: 3, and we further scheduled the extra lessons in the coming 2 weeks!  Excellent and they seem a bit interested to play violin!

 

4th July 2006

This early morning:

"The program committee has reviewed the proposals for the Music & Nature Symposium, and I regret to inform you that your paper, "The Love for God and Nature: Transformations of God, Stars and Birdsongs in Olivier Messiaen's Éclairs sur l'Au-delà . . .," has not been accepted."

I must go on for the next Goal!

----------------------------------

The first time in my life doing this:

打卡

You really can't imagine in a secondary school, and as a violin teacher, you need to do this to indicate your arrival and leaving time !___!

Make a new friend, he invites me to "jam" pieces in leisure time.

Teaching Violin...students...ai.......

1) not practised as usual

2) no one comes

3) smelly... ~________~
