About Me

  • About Me: I hate boundaries. Nothing upsets me more than people putting things in water-tight compartments. Crossing boundaries...You travel across knowdege, time, and whatever else your mind takes you to. It would be really interesting if I wake up one day and find myself becoming a member of the opposite sex!

    2007年夏去到四川成都公幹,順便遊歷都江椻、熊貓基地、青城山等地,回來後一心想在2008年再到成都公幹,誰料成都取消了,又遇上大地震,實在可惜!2008年春,我走遍雲貴,還是離不開大西南
  • cocotat3000
    多少因為不服氣,不能到北京公幹,於是自行於10月18至21日往北京自由行,見了鮑生兩次,看了中國電影博物館和軍博。我不排除今年再去一次。

    1979年9月30日,香港地下鐵路通車,我跟吾兄、姑丈、姑姐試乘,至今仍有當日的紀念票。談到搞大型建設,特區政府還不到港英的十分之一!
