Trip to BJ
stay in HK for 2 weeks and fly to BJ for 1 week. Hopefully, this is a
good sign that my team in PRC is settling in. (Of course, there are
still a couple "issues" need to be solved in terms of my team dynamic.)
Today, it's time to fly to BJ again today. When I arrived at the
airport, I found that there are quite a lot of people waiting for check
in. The queue is really long. Just realized that because of the
Typhoon yesterday, a lot of flights were delayed. The airport is still
"digesting" all the delay. My flight has already delayed for 35 mins.
Hopefully, it won't be further delay. The good sight is that I just
heard the announcement on the boarding gate. Hopefully, that'll mean
the plane has arrived.
(I'm keeping my finger crossed and see whether I will get an upgrade
this time... (^_^))

Double Quarter Pounder
During a dinner with 千年蛋 before, he mentioned that the Double Quarter Pounder is available in HK and it is only available after 9pm.
I recalled that before when I was in Canada (and when I was young), I used to have the Double Quarter Pounder quite often (and a couple of refills on the Coke, yes, refill is free in Canada McD).
Last night, finally, I have a chance to give it a try as I was leaving the office late and haven't had dinner yet. Got one at the McD near my home. Of course, I ordered the one without pickle so that the burger is fresh. It is GOOOOOOOD! (But it is a bit too much for a supper!)

新车落地
出车后,在昨天已经跑了100+km。对新车的感觉很好,控制得宜,而且感觉应该会比以前那部车省油有点(当然,不会比Pirus省油。另外,"新"的效应都有助于省油)。部新车的最大问题是车身很长,在泊车的时候需要加倍小心。另外,现在在考虑的是当One Island East开张以后,在公司的泊车费用能否保持现在地价格将会成为很大的疑问。
昨天其中用新车到的地方是在八乡的"旦王花"(一家泰国餐馆)。"旦王花"的环境不错,值得跟大家介绍一下。有兴趣的话不妨一试。它就在大榄隧道(向元朗方向)收费处八乡出口,再走5分钟车就能到达。(沿途有路牌指示)

每年一度
上有呕吐,所以基本上3天内没有食任何东西!
当然,都没上班三天!
每年到这季节,都小不免要病一场。身体的抵抗力真的有点差。点算?

越南之旅 - 第二、三天
越南之旅 - 第一天
来到越南的第二天,现正在等从胡志明市到河内的飞机。
昨天下午到了胡志明市,入住密糖朋友的Service Apartment。胡志明市的天气很热(接近30度),跟香港完全两样。
来到越南,到现在为此基本都是吃。密糖朋友昨天晚上带了我们先去了一个Bed & Breakfast的区报了星期六去Co Cu Tunnel的city tour。然后,她再带了我们到一家叫Til的越南餐馆用晚餐。据说,Bush到越南时都是在这餐馆用餐。食物的水准很好,跟平常在香港所食的越南菜不太 一样,而且价钱约是香港的一半左右。

今天早上出发之前,密糖朋友再带我们到Pho Hua食牛肉粉当早餐。水准一样的很好,尤其是那个汤,yummy yummy!

另外,值得一提的是,胡志明市的房价都算颇高。密糖朋友说有一个新的Estate,700尺左右都要卖200万港币。她住的Service Apartment约1,600尺左右,租金都要4k美金。我觉得比上海还贵。
现在先把一些热若re-sized过的相片post出来,等到有更好Internet Access的时候再把一些好相post的Flickr上。

再次出血
(刚才尝试到Canon的网站登记之镜头的保养,但系统说有点问题。星期一需要打电话去问一下。不知会否被永成欺骗了?!?!?)
现在下来的问题是我需要确保这些镜头上的投资能最大的使用。当然,我跟Honey计划在春节后到越南休息几天将会是这些投资的第一次使用。
Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM

Lens Performance Survey
Came across the following site. It seems to provide a comprehensive evaluation on the different lens. Problem is: I'm not sure how to read the #s???

镜头的选择
初步锁定下一个出血目标: Canon EF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 IS USM
但在wide angle方面,还在 EF 20mm f/2.8 USM 与 EF 28mm f/1.8 USM 之间犹疑。更加复杂的是 EF 20-35mm f/3.5-4.5 USM(zoom capability) 及 EF 24mm f/2.8(价钱)都是可考虑之选。
估计需要找机会到Canon Showroom一次,对比一下几个镜头的差别。

赛马
今天因工作需要,Honey要到沙田马场。考虑到我从没去过马场,我都跟了一齐去。
马场内的气氛真的不错,每当每场赛事结束时,粗口都会满天飞!(我只是在赛道旁边,没有机会进那些贵宾厅等)
当然,马场是一个很好供拍摄的地方。下面是几张相片供分享。
10元的入场费算是很划算。当然马场的主要收入不是在入场费。就像我一般,我都买了一条3T。可惜没有中。我只是跟着苹果日报的"贴士"买的,但结果都中了7只马!
