太順利了...

得有點過份...
下次應該見 COO 了

follow my heart

the direction, i thought, is very obvious...

final round...

final round tomorrow in kowloon...

see what will be waiting for me..

再接再厲

okee.. today we try to have the interview in tst ymca during lunch time.. let's see if it will materialize..

anti-climax

went early to central, had a wee pear juice @ mix while refreshing my memory with my own cv.. went to the reception to get a visitor pass, went to 35/F via the lift, then took 3 elevators down to 32/F.. waited at the reception for a while, then waited in the meeting room for a while, and then the secretary came in and told me my interviewer, the head of x & yy, called in sick... great!

maybe a signal to me that the other opportunity is really the one..

套裝出場?

駛唔駛o甘大陣仗!!!???

重出江湖

will have a formal interview tomorrow morning at 08:30... the last formal interview i have had should be 18 months ago, when i had my interview for the current job...

the agent 'tipped' me that the interview will be harsh to me, to imitate the demanding hiring manager... well... i didn't say anything to the agent, but then i don't think i have to tolerate unacceptable manner / behaviour...

we'll see... :)

兩個獨當一面的女歌手 -- two unique female artists of my generation



沒結果
作詞:周禮茂 作曲:李迪文 編曲:杜自持

鬧哄的約會告終 感覺驟變空
空似是街邊的風 凍或還是痛
擁抱著晚風 怎算是抱擁
不敢在心中洶湧 你臂胳你面容
你在情動
在這夜多麼的想你
明明明白不應再想起
愛吧就來愛吧就來愛愛我吧
用我一晚自尊去換你
在這夜可不可給我
從來沒這麼情慾過
愛吧就來愛吧就來愛愛我吧
算了吧 吧 沒結果 沒結果
或許我是野花 偏你是野草
怎再又裝作不知道 你亂懷亂抱
知道又怎麼 你一笑我便醉倒
不要又心中洶湧 你眼眸你熱唇
你是情做
想你是我 想你是我麼
不過又心中洶湧 你氣味你汗滴
你的愛火
想起你的是我 想起你不是我
長夜過 長夜過
在這夜是我是否我
再想著你又怎結果
Oh my baby Oh I want you back Ooh-oh...
I need your love Ooh-oh-oh...

Career woman?

am i a career woman? everyone in the office said i am...

well, i must have been working hard in the office...

another old song...

love comes naturally, but it requires efforts to maintain...

相愛很難 (梅艷芳/張學友)
作曲／編曲：陳輝陽填詞：林夕監製：陳輝陽／蔡一智

女：最好　有生一日都愛下去　但誰人　能將戀愛當做終生興趣
男：生活　其實旨在找到個伴侶　　面對現實　熱戀很快變長流細水

＊女：可惜我　不智或僥倖　　　對火花天生敏感　
男：不過　兩隻手拉得太緊　
合：愛到過了界那對愛人　　　同時亦最易變成一對敵人　

女：也許相愛很難　　　就難在其實雙方各有各寄望　　　怎麼辦　
男：要單戀都難　　　受太大的禮會內疚卻也無力歸還　

女：也許不愛不難　　　但如未成佛昇仙也會怕　　　愛情前途黯淡　
男：愛不愛都難　　　未快樂先有責任給予對方面露歡顏　

女：得到浪漫　又要有空間　
男：得到定局　卻怕去到終站　

合：然後付出多得到少不介意豁達　　　又擔心　有人看不過眼＊

Repeat　＊

合：無論熱戀中失戀中　　都永遠記住第一戒　別要張開雙眼

a 18-year old song...

listening to the songs written by 林振強... a song caught my ears... it's 劉美君's 事後... the song was written 18 years ago... and the lyrics are so 'open', even in the standard nowadays...

作詞：林振強　作曲：杜自持

飄浮　如夜那般半睡潮浪之中
輕輕輕飄浮　浮在那舒暢內和微濕中
疲倦了　懶理秀髮披面龐
含著笑　再吻吻你的汗
毫無重要　懶理世界的轉動
活在浮在暖暖臂彎之中
回味　亦覺精彩
千個浪　又像喝彩撞來
曾全部　受你主宰
死去活來　
回味 亦覺可愛
想起你　在我之內
曾全部　為你張開
死去活來　
飄浮浮在這因你在而亂的毯
此刻心頭　紅像你火吻後而紅的肩
仍是醉似永遠醉得未完
無話句　卻說了我甘願意
全無後悔　我愛徹底的體驗
我願意明夜　仍是再有這麼一天
