Catch-22

The phrase Catch-22 make me laugh the whole day.

Based on wikipedia, Catch-22 is " The archetypal Catch-22, as formulated by Heller, involves the case of John Yossarian, a U.S. Army Air Forces bombardier, who wishes to be grounded from combat flight. This will only happen if he is evaluated by the squadron's flight surgeon and found "unfit to fly." "Unfit" would be any pilot who is willing to fly such dangerous missions, as one would have to be mad to volunteer for possible death. However, to be evaluated, he must request the evaluation, an act that is considered sufficient proof for being declared sane. These conditions make it impossible to be declared "unfit.""

Do you find this have something to do with you? No idea? Have you find a job you want to do and it said" candidate must have 3 years experience". However, this 3 years experience can only be required when you first enter the job. This is catch 22. So don't be discouraged, when you see that, and you should recognize it is a catch.

丫髻山 尖鼻咀 流浮山漫遊









Golden Coast








Cheung Chau
















CUHK (Chinese University of Hong Kong)


I don't know what it is called in English, but I love it. It is an advertisement board.
The site is named: Sky Man in One.








Singing Contest.




I had a chance to walk in Chinese University of Hong Kong. CUHK is one of the top university in the world. It is on the hill. I love their chinese medicine garden. It is so big, they have their own museum, several libraries, and many things. It is so good.

Not really. These pictures were taken on Sunday. Why do I say that? The university is so dead. It is not on Spring break. Even if you have the best video game in the world, but without people it is nothing. That's something make Benedictine College so great. It is small, but it is very alive. If I have to choose an university again, I will choose BC.

Ground Zero, America and Osama bin Laden

I remember I was indulgent enough to make an expensive trip to New York City in Spring Break few years ago. When I walked by ground zero, I was emotional and sad for those who lost their family. Today, I am rejoice for the news that Osama bin Laden is dead. This news means something to me even though I am not American. At the same time, I read a quote today; it said, by Golda Meir, Israeli politician in 1898-1978, "It is true we have won all our wars, but we have paid for them. We don't want victories anymore." I am not here to say the money was not necessary, but if America continue to get involve into something not their business, such as the rebellion in Libya, then they also created more enemies even they can win.
