So every line of code required a punch card (see Episode 1), and obviously for a poor student like me I had to find ways to use less card as each card costed some money. You know, the more bugs the program had, the more cards I needed to re-program (i.e. re-punch new cards). And [...]

with a DVD lately (note: a genuine copy of DVD). It’s the Rod Stewart’s One Night Only - Live at Royal Albert Hall. Great music, songs, and performance … even though Rod is already 60 years’ old. I never knew a man can be so handsome when he is sixty and dressed in bright yellow [...]

Today is a sad day, because it is the last day for many of my friends to play bowling (after 20 something years’ passion) … and it all began from a happy day a couple months ago, that was the day one of my friends moved to a new flat …
