Meeting President Reif

raf

 (my last “BeyoniMeeting…” post was back in Nov 2012 already…2 YEARS AGO!! shame…)

Meeting our current MIT President for the first time! Some key takeaways from the evening:

  • Love his Pope-like handshake and eye contact: very genuine, warm and strong. First he shook my hand powerfully, then he gently placed his left hand on my hand..(Urgh I hope you get what I mean). Whoa…..
  • On asset allocation among undergrad & grad students: of course the undergrads win! MIT spend around $70,000-$80,000 USD per undergrad, while only 10% to 11% undergrads are paying the full tuition fee $44,000 USD. So not many ppl know that their education is in fact subsidized by the school.
  • On edX & MIT OpenCourseWare: a 17-year old high school student in India got 97% in 6.002x (Circuits & Electronics) on edX, our MOOC platform. He really wanted to continue to take 6.003 (Signals & Systems), but the class is not offered on edX yet. He then studied 6.003 on MIT OpenCourseWare, our web-based publications of almost ALL MIT class materials, and started his own MOOC 6.003z!

蘭開夏道？

一直覺得王迪詩專欄《蘭開夏道》，用街道名為題幾有型。因為咁，有一排成日同b係度列舉「香港改得幾好聽/幾cool既街道名」（我地講d野真係幾無聊orz)

s3185692

1. Glenealy 己連拿利 (幾悅耳)
2. Blue Pool Road 藍塘道 (好有意境，好似一個深藍色既水塘)
3. Mount Davis Road 摩星嶺道 (略帶神秘感同埋邪氣）
4. Aldrich Bay 愛秩序灣 (唔係路，但譯得妙~)
5. Black’s Link （住宅地址係”Black’s Link”都幾有型 XD)

完。

Wine: From Sanity to Bliss

IMG_4156.JPG

(多謝A既complimentary ticket for HK International Wine & Spirits Fair!)

  • 去wine fair既有兩種人 – 專業buyer & 呃酒飲人士。
    專業buyer淺嘗後會吐返出黎（所以每個booth都有個spittoon），
    otherwise會好快飲醉。
    後者就會不斷飲不斷飲；
    所以兩種人好容易分辨，飲到面紅紅個d就係後者。
  • 搞 B2C 既wine fair既frontline control 都有一定難度。留左一個鐘，現場已經有人嘔，打爛野，倒瀉野，仲有嚎哭 ~.~
  • d賣家點樣先會理你？
    “我daddy都會prefer一d hmm you know，spicy D，無咁sweet個D～我想買d返去招呼下佢d clients 咁囉，hark”

淡入淡出休息和在工作
半點倦顏 略帶一聲聲感歎
我心倦疲  回望昨日那天哭與笑

記性差左，成日努力去recap以前學生時代既細節。
但相信未來既我又會後悔，我無好好去紀錄呢3年traineeship既點滴。
好啦，等我平鋪直敘講下，2014年25歲既我，平凡既星期五係點架啦。
開始！

～～～～～～

7:00am 鬧鐘響啦 T__T 可憐既鬧鐘不停被暴力㩒熄

7:30am 起身，半死狀態去刷牙洗面整濕個頭

7:40am 吹乾個頭（好彩我頭髮短！），食少少野，換衫

7:45am check下有無帶八達通（我叫發達窿），銀包，手錶，眼鏡，y盒

7:50am 落樓上shuttle，put on cream and sunscreen

（沒錯，20分鐘only，yeah！）

8:00am 到大圍火車站，上頭等（但都係要企 until 九龍塘）

排隊上車期間我既b就會起身send whatsapp比我，三年黎風雨不改都會send一句

“morning b ____ b”，

8:15am 到紅磡火車站，呢期有75折“晨早優惠”

102P，一係長到無朋友，一係快到無朋友，真係好飄忽。

今日好彩，好快就上到車啦！

8:20am 開車！因為吉車既關係，通常有得坐。

我會坐樓上左邊既位置，因為無咁曬，繼續做低頭一族篤電話。

我係HKET fans，返工第一件事睇”地產“，”工商“，”行政人員“。

今朝非常chur，連交兩份大financials 。＿。

午餐約左同事食food republic，真係好難食，哈哈哈，不過吹下水幾開心。

然後開會，做野，做野，做野，7：30pm 走。

～～～～～～

返屋企，行去太古站，落大雨嗚嗚。

係北角轉車，油塘轉車，九龍塘轉車，大圍轉車。

返屋企啦！食飯伴tvb，9:30pm Pearl 睇 “The Town”

一個based in Boston既電影。其實幾年前我已經睇過架啦

不過我已經無印象啦，真係好吖，可以當新戲去睇 ^^

呢個weekend安排緊密，要花1.5日返公司搞埋d野，

加油。。zzzz
