Very excited, today I got the move-in date confirmed for my newly-rented server rack. I’ll move in the servers to the data centre this Saturday afternoon. First stage, 4 servers first. When they get stable, I’ll gradually move in more from other places. I also chose one new server to test-run Red Hat 9, it seems quite stable so far. I really want to retire the server at Pacific Supernet, it is dying. I just hope that it dies later, not before next month please! Due to the overwhelming workload these two days, I have not yet read the Brief for this Saturday morning’s Criminal Advocacy Assessment, I am getting worried, I don’t want to be scolded by the Judge! Time to get some sleep, I woke up very early today and last night’s Champions League Final was so boring!

For more than a year, I have never had a day like this. Getting up at 9 am, liasing with clients. Arrived in Client A’s office at 11 am to collect payment, then ate a delicious tea lunch with my coach. Fixed some technical issues at Client B’s office before 4 pm and finished meeting with Client C at 5 pm. What’s more, I played a tennis game at the pleasant Sandy Bay before I met up with my buddies at Tsim Sha Tsui at night for dinner and movie. That’s a Korean movie rated III - Marriage Is Crazy. Thanks for my best friends Melody and Elva bringing me to this movie, it is a nice one, I enjoy the story as well as the sex scenes, haha!

It is really productive, I should not have spent 4 hours yesterday trying to trouble-shoot that network before I conducted some “research” on those issues. It turned out that I only needed one minute to get that problem solved today! Oh my god…Anyway, I eat so much today because I feel really happy and energetic, and I guess I should reward myself too. Today is not yet over, the Champions League Final is waiting for me! Go go go Juventus!!!

Very very strange…when the exam is over, my biological clock seems to be getting back to normal (hope that would last). Maybe it’s because I still have to wake up rather early (around 10 am) and never idle for the whole day, I feel very sleepy at 12 midnight already. Now I already want to go to bed, I used to feel sleepy only after 4 am during exam! Today I’ve done many things, one of the biggest things is to finalize a full rack rental deal with a data centre and bought two new servers. The expected move-in time is by the end of this week, I am very excited about it, it feels like moving my own home! When these two servers are settled, I will gradually move in other servers like the old one in Pacific Supernet and the one in Mega iAdvantage. Don’t ask me how much all these things cost….I could only tell you that I need to starve for that!

Today is the first day of a new chapter in my life - my “post-PCLL” life

I am told by many to take a good rest after the exam, but I don’t know why, I didn’t care much about the result and still feeling anxious today. Probably because of the problematic mail server or I have too many things that I wish to do and unable to do them all at once. I am a very rushy and impatient person, I act as soon as I think of something. It is very stupid as I sometimes did the wrong thing without “using my brain” first but I still have not corrected this. Anyway, my mind couldn’t rest so I didn’t have good sleep last night. I played 3 hours of tennis in a hot and humid weather and feeling great with the sweat. Then I ate one of the best crabs in town, a steamed crab cooked with wine! What’s bad? Probably only my near-dead firewire hard disk still frustrating me. iChat or ICQ me if you wish to meet up for a date!

Just can’t describe how I feel right now, or how I felt when I walked out the examination hall at 5 pm - 30 mins earlier than the scheduled time. After all these years, I am so adapted to this kind of exam pressure and various related physical and mental effects. I think I have handled them very well over the past year and as always, firmly stick with my plans and objectives - achieve the best results with the least time and efforts I could afford. Unlike some students, no more exam thing is left on my mind right now, I have forgotten that I should “worry” about the results - come on, this is not Belle’s style. “Let’s have some fun” means working on the long-awaited projects for me, I feel even happier to work than to go out for drinks or what, tennis is an exception, as always. Hey guys and gals, time to call me out!

What a relief! My mail server ran into serious problems and I spent the whole night fixing it until 3 am this morning. I only studied for 2 hours before I went to bed at 5 am. It turned out that I could still wake up and walk normally into the exam hall! I was so sleepy that I struggled for 15 mins after the exam began, honestly, I really thought about sleeping a little before I began writing! Luckily I hold back myself and dig my head into the questions. The 3-hour paper last like forever! I kept watching the clock and finally this moment came! I feel so excited all day because not only 90% of the exam done, my mail server got back to work and even my PowerBook’s problematic firewire port got back to normal too! I rewarded myself by buying 4 computer books and eating A LOT at dinner. Should I watch the UEFA Cup Final tonight too?

A whole day of fooling around. Started by playing in PhotoShop to make my own mail icon, then “played” by my linux server #1 - all emails larger than 1MB couldn’t go through since May!!! What the hell?!! Checked everything and still have no clue, I am so upset! You know I am not a patient person, so I went to the last resort after trying a few hours. I decided to speed up the server migration (didn’t know that I have a new linux server?) and migrate those accounts (mails, web files, settings…) one by one. I am so fed up with the ISP of server #1 - it proved again and again - you get what you pay for. I really wish I could put my skills learned in Civil Procedure into practice by suing this company!

Just read through various headlines on mac sites and found out this lovely Lego Mac. Lego is my favourite (and only) toy when I was a child, I remember I could play Lego all day without feeling bored. That’s a magic to combine my two favourite things and it works!

The story was first reported by the BBC. UK Mac consultant Daniele Procida has created one of the quirkiest Macs ever seen - a unit made entirely of Lego. Procida used the electronics from inside a broken PowerBook 5300 in the construction. The unique Lego Mac is a fully functional 603e100MHz PowerPC Mac with 32MB RAM, a 750MB hard drive, CD-ROM, floppy disc, 10BaseT Ethernet and Mac OS 8.1.

No no no…it is not yet completed, but the toughest exam is done today! Yeah!!! I reward myself by playing 3 league matches tonight until I couldn’t feel my feet! The exam was, as expected, harsh. This is the first time I took an exam in the afternoon and I think it makes not much difference. The paper was 3-hour and I ran out of time - this is a good sign though. The criminal part is relatively easier, I am always more interested in criminal things. The civil part….damn….totally not those popular main topics as every one guessed. I guess a lot of people would fail this time, I may be one of them but I would just look forward to the two left on Wednesday and Friday. Meanwhile, let me take a good rest and play Unreal 2003 on my PowerBook!

In less than two day’s time I have to squeeze everything about Criminal and Civil Procedure into my head. If that is not a mission impossible, what could that be? As I always say, panic doesn’t help. So I don’t panic and went out for tennis tonight. Really feel lucky because the rain started to downpour once I returned. Then I tried to do a little study during the F.A. Cup Final (Arsenal won a consolation prize finally) and prepared to carry on until I fall asleep. Exam are harsh, but that’s what makes the holiday precious. I keep reminding myself that there is only one more week to go and then I could do whatever I wish. However, I have to be realistic though, my current physical conditions would not allow me to focus continuously for 3 hours or more, I think I should spare my energy for the exam itself.
