Week 4

The first lecturer first talked about the needs to curb climate change and then he went on to introduce us one particularly important technology, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), which he's been spending his life researching on. CCS is related to geotechnical engineering and it is an area of study so complicated that no 30-minutes-lecture could ever clearly explain the objectives and mechanics behind the technology. However, the lecturer did give us a very interesting analogy and it sort of gave me the overall picture of how it works.

"Liquid carbon in a sausage stored in the sea", he explained.

We all know that excessive carbon emission is the big problem that leads to climate change or global warming. Therefore, the first lecturer gave an ingenious way to tackle the problem. However, this technology is not an ideal one because after a certain amount of years, the carbon stored in the sausage may diffuse into the ocean and cause the ocean too acidic an environment for many of the marine species. Well, at that point in time, I was feeling somewhat disappointed because after a long hearing of a plausible technology that could save the earth, it still will not save the earth! Then, the lecturer spent the rest of his lecture talking about what we could do as an individual to reduce carbon emission and how we can help conserve the environment.

Then, the next lecturer gave us a quick introduction to science and technology studies. He first talked about the history and the development of technology and it surprised me again (because I have heard this for the millionth time) how drastic technology has changed human’s life over a century. However, whenever a new technology appears on the surface, most people will intrinsically dislike the idea and think the new technology will never for a day work. This is exactly what happened back in the sixties when people talked about visiting the moon. Hence, the lecturer analyzed to us the reasons behind the resistance to adoption and acceptance of new technology. The two case studies that he brought up were namely “The Renewable Energy” and “The Electric Vehicles”. (Well, frankly speaking, I was not too impressed by his talk because I do believe in the power of technology and I do know the existence of people who loathe new technology. My mother will be a classic example as she still doesn’t know how to operate a DVD player thou it is not so much of a “new” IT product.”

(I left the lecture theatre after the second lecturer finished his talk as I had to rush for a production rehearsal so I missed the third lecturer’s talk.)

二百分之一個世紀的等待
終於你在sc room與canteen間的長廊上，甦醒
不至1米的距離
略25度仰角
你的黑色眼眸瞬間溫暖了我冷卻以久的
面具

以為又是另一次擦肩之際
你說：“嗨！”
（天啊！）
靈魂倏然逃出你為我設下的枷鎖
於熾熱的空氣中瑰麗地奔跑

“Adriano said she doesn't need your gi anymore. She has bought it from ma'am."
"Ok...bye"
"bye"
。。。。。。





若這是此生和你唯一對白
希望半世紀後哪個想你的晚上
（哈）風能傳遞此刻的感動，讓這沒後續的戀人絮語在空中流轉
再次提醒

사랑해.

那个超级炎热的午后，
理发店老板娘问：“为什么剪光头？”
我听了笑了笑说：“白头发多嘛！”

总觉得人一辈子总要剪一次光头。
他为入伍，她为忘他。
她为出家，他为伴她。
他因癌症，而她因他死后伤心过度自杀，然后轮回十世直到当回人满月时。

而我，原因说出来你会笑。
我的白发因你而生，黑发自然因你而落。。。

My love
虽然我们将缘止十一月
但愿我每个夏天
想起十八岁那年
曾为你
落三千
发


致：My forever love, A-levels

Happy new year!

2007-1989=18

Woosh! He is finally 18 this year and he no longer needs to cast furtive glance while entering the cinema with a M18 movie ticket!
Erm... A fresh new year and great targets should be set. As people always say, he reaches no destination if he does not know where he is going.
Wahaha... So now, listen to his goals for the year!

1. A levels year. Being a good student like him, study is the most important thing. Physics, sad to say, he has to work himself into a Physics frenzy due to the lousy teacher who has only a rudimentary knowledge of the subject. Computing, again, memory stuff. Mathematics! This is a crucial subject. Once a HIGHLY RESPECTED ASPIRANT for mathematics and yet he had gotten a C in his end of year exams! The feeling really sucks! Actuarial science is his dream and he cannot bear with this kinda results anymore! Economics... Haha... The overall Economics standard of the school is really low. So no worries to get an A in the future exams. GP! The killer paper. With his limited vocabs.. haha.. no choice but to read more and write more blogs and essays. Anyway, this will surely be a happy new year and he will definitely get a formula for badresulticide.

2. As he has said, 18 years old! How could he spend all his time mugging? Must have wonderful love story to share with the later generations of his when he is 88. Haha... The handsome guy is ready to fall in love! Wahaha...

3. Body fats. Slim down please! For goodness sake.

4. Height. Jump more! 180 is there waiting for you.

Erm... This should be parts of his new year wishes. Hope this will really be a good year for him.
