For the past year I’ve been into soccer (football) and have lately been playing FIFA 06. My favorite team is AC Milan, primarily because one of the players is Ukrainian (Andriy Shevchenko). There was a champions league game which put AC Milan and FC Barcelona against each other yesterday. The results from the game I played and the real game were extremely different. Here’s my game:
The real score was AC Milan: 0, Barcelona: 1.
The other day I was on a ferry going to Lantau Island (the biggest island in Hong Kong) when I saw something out of the ordinary. I saw two American schoolbuses on a container ship in Hong Kong waters!
And into the new high school. On Thursday, the whole high school (including myself) spent the entire morning and then some moving all the equipment, books, furniture and stuff from the old high school building into the recently built new building right next door. The original high school building is a few decades old and definitely in need of demolition (which is what will happen to it soon).
The new building is three floors tall with a roof used for badminton or something. It’s not big, some classrooms are actually smaller than the old building but the science labs are noticeably bigger in the new building. The new building now has an elevator and is completely handicap accesible even though at the current moment our school has no handicapped students.
Although I spent the entire morning moving boxes, desks and computers from the old classrooms into the new ones I didn’t see any urinals in the boy’s bathrooms. I hope that’s not the case because the last thing I want is lines outside of the toitet like always seen with female bathrooms. Maybe I just didn’t notice.
On that day, we didn’t actually get to study in the new classrooms but we will be after Easter holiday, that is on 24th of April. My first class will be Precalculus and I’m expecting the teacher to give us a test on that Monday. I’ll take pictures when I’m studying there.
The javascript and the Flickr RSS for loading up those photos was tremendously slowing down the site so I took it away. Not that I update my photos on Flickr much anyway. It’s okay, tester is still there.
We all know about Boot Camp, Apple’s new software to allow people to natively run Microsoft Windows XP on their new Intel Macs. Although this is quite a nice thing to come from Apple for both the Mac and Windows community (and a smart way to increase profits) Apple still had to poke fun at Microsoft and its Windows operating system while at it (from Apple’s Boot Camp page):
Macs use an ultra-modern industry standard technology called EFI to handle booting. Sadly, Windows XP, and even the upcoming Vista, are stuck in the 1980s with old-fashioned BIOS. But with Boot Camp, the Mac can operate smoothly in both centuries.
But that’s not all:
Windows running on a Mac is like Windows running on a PC. That means it’ll be subject to the same attacks that plague the Windows world. So be sure to keep it updated with the latest Microsoft Windows security fixes.
Apple, Apple, well I still don’t mind having Windows natively boot on my Mac when I get one. I can now gladly tick off another thing on my list of things I want to do on a Mac legally.
