備戰中

In the middle of preparing for an opening.
Busy. Busy. Busy.
Starting to get sick.
Can't get sick.
Too busy to be sick.
Long weeks ahead of me.
がんばってよ!!!

Multiples of Three

自中學時代, 小芬最喜歡的中文字就是個 「鬱」 字. 最鍾意之處當然是因為它筆畫多啦! 還記得有一次上中文堂, 小芬呢個竹升妹公然 challenge 寫錯個 「鬱」 字的 Missy, 弄得她狼狽非常. 回想時還感幾分得意. 只因她是應得的! 中文未夠班就不應誤人子弟! 成日教錯字!

到了今天, 小芬還是努力不懈學好我的祖國語言但很可惜, 科技先進令到現在的中國人(包括小芬在內) 難免有執筆忘字的煩惱. 不過, 小芬還是要努力擴闊自己的詞彙因為我識得的字實在太少啦!! 所以近幾年小芬比較喜歡的網址就是香港中文大學的 《粵語審音配詞字庫》. 是小芬學中文的天書也!

有一次無意中找到中國字最多筆畫的 「龘」 字, 一共48畫. 比起只得29畫的 「鬱」 字簡直冇得比! 不過三個 「龍」 字寫在一起又真係冇乜難道呢. 所以小芬還是鍾意個 「鬱」 字. 想起 《最緊要「正」字》 曾經有個博士說過將 「五行」 那幾個字 x3 都是字呢. 最常用的當然是 「木」 和 「火」 不過小芬成日都忘記三個 「金」 的讀法!

金 x3 = 鑫 (音: jam1 音)
木 x3 = 森 (we all know this one)
水 x3 = 淼 (音: miu5 秒)
火 x3 = 焱 (and this one)
土 x3 = 垚 (音: jiu4 搖)

接著看 《正識第一》 時, 得知三個 「魚」丶「牛」丶「羊」 字亦可以搭起來成字. 看 《掌上明珠》 時, 我已經學了個 「驫」 字所以小芬又一次證明看 TVB 是對我有益的!!

The Sun!

OMG OMG OMG, do I see the sun out?!?! After an eternity of rain?!? Okay fine... 10 days straight seem like eternity, k? I sure hope the sun keeps shining!

Epic!

Last night marked a big milestone in the life of my PC. For almost a year now, I haven't been able to do any Windows Updates due to stupid error no. 80070424. Damn you, MS! For eleven months I've been looking for a solution without having to reformat. This week, I was this close to wiping the comp clean but last night I thought, I'd give the wonderful interwebs one last chance to land in my lap a solution to my poor PC's misery. Then I found it! God must have been looking over my shoulder, pitied my PC, or something! LOL~!

A small little link on one of the bajillion solution pages out there to teach you how to get rid of the damned 80070424 error (that I have read at least sixteen times in the past year and yes, I remember this number off by heart now) lead me to one comment that basically said: "READ and read it carefully". Uh, duh... can we say... grade school?? So, Windows Installer does not equal Windows Modules Installer and trustedinstaller.reg is NOT trustedinstaller.exe!! Well, of course not! Seems like I had overlooked the word MODULES but since I just noticed that I'm a moron, I tried the solution and yes, now my PC can do updates again. Hoot!!

After 76 updates, I decided to call it a night and resume the updates tonight. Fingers crossed that it doesn't cause any more problems. Booyah!!

Now to file my income taxes... -_-""

FREEZING!!

Okay, it's May already. You know the term: April showers bring May flowers? Well, it's MAY!! Where are my flowers?!?! They're too cold to bloom, duh! Go away, nasty cold, wet, rainy days, and may the warm spring weather embrace us!!!

I demand my share of vitamin D!!!
