回想上次八號風球又不用上班的日子，便要想到兩年前的九月十四。記得那天早上還是三號風球，下午才掛上八號。當時還是尋找工作的我，對三號或八號根本沒有甚麼期望，我只期望收到一個通知。想不到，那天早上，我一連收到兩間公司的取錄消息。

那一天的印象真的很深，我還記得我上了RF的網站，看到他們的「現場」工作環境。我真的覺得他們在八號風球下還繼續工作。事隔兩年，又一個八號風球不用上班。明天後，我真的不用再上班了。

下個月便開始三個月的無薪假期。同事們感到很意外吧，他們都會問候我未來三個月的動向。我想，他們更關心我三個月後的狀況。

是去？是留？我心裡沒有絕對的答案，但既然環境容許我去我留，我還是專注那三個月的時間吧。

記得一位VCAST同事離開時說的一番話：”There are 3 months in one season. Usually that represents changes of weather and behavior. And in business world, that is good enough to evaluate a person’s success, whether you agree is justifiable or not. For this time around, it is happening to me.”

三個月內除了要創一番事業，我還想給一點時間給自己，給家人，給神。真的，生活不應只有工作。希望那三個月，自己有一個突破。

Time flies and things change always. I’ve been working in RF for two years. The second year was totally different from last year. Working with new colleagues and new projects brought me much more challenges. I had to work more independent and mature. Managing projects is still hard to me. Most of the projects were behind the schedules so it let me work overtime again and again. I never mind to work overtime but I just feel exhausted.

I remembered that I asked for more back-end programming last year but I prefer more front-end now. Ha, I was totally obsessed to the fancy javasrcipt effects. Besides, scripting language is more efficient to the web development. I’ve already spent a huge amount of time on compilation.

During my first year, I heard that the office will move to the Kowloon side but RF’s office is sharing with another company now. The working environment collapsed. There are no creative center and table tennis anymore. Yet, it make development and AS team work more closely. Sometimes it’s kinda interesting to hear their gossips. However, I dislike to hear the conversation between the clients. Sigh, managing people is definitely a big task.

Although I still believe web development is my career, I found unsatisfactory in my soul. The playground is no longer existing in my life. Thus, I just wanna have a change. I quite appreciate that my manager always consider my requests. He let me take 3 months no pay leave. Somehow I feel guilty that I leave the company and make development team more collapsible. People even wonder if I’ll come back in next year. In fact, it’s still a question to me. Anyway, as I said, time flies and things change always. Let’s see the rest of this year. May god bless me as the first year.

看過一些人的一生，原來只是為了一個簡單的想法而生活下去。縱使那個想法並不偉大，但只要一直堅持下去，總會影響身邊的人。人與人之間就是那麼奇妙，一個人，一個想法，也可以改變他人。

喬麥麵師傅如是，科幻小說作家如是。

九月份總是想起很多往事，記得零四當年的今日就是我第一次寫網誌的日子。某程度上，寫網誌培養出我寫網頁的興趣。因為我不太在意網誌的內容，反而是那些排版，分段和表情符號。

最近空閒的日子多了，不過不是去寫網誌，而是去寫網頁。哈，現在好像倒轉了，因為寫網頁而想去寫一寫網誌。

一年容易又中秋。一如以往，楊氏宗親繼續在水塘做路霸。等了兩年，終於可以在水塘上網，但是我們對著電腦仍然無所是是，還是繼續玩燈籠，食月餅。

今天青年聚會的題目是置業，準備期間聽到不少升斗市民的聲音，特別是青年人。那一些被稱為八十後的一代對買樓置業多抱有負面態度。對他們來說，申請公屋資格早已超過，政府又停建居屋，私人樓也是負擔不起。難度要窮一生的精力和時間，去為一間只有數百尺的房間去奔波？值得嗎？與其左擔心右擔心，倒不如求信心，讓神給自己看見天上的產業。

Summer was over. Phase two of CFA website finally launched. Thanks god that we can reach the official launch date. In fact, I were kinda worried at the beginning stage but it proved again that grace is sufficient to use.

Somebody slept. Somebody quit. Somebody I miss. Things happened a lot during this summer.

Our systems aren’t like Mac OS X that there is no time machine to go back to any stages in the past. However, we can push everything in the cloud and then have a good start with a new system.

People killin’, people dyin’
Children hurt and you hear them cryin’
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek

Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
‘Cause people got me, got me questionin’
Where is the love?
