香港學生為甚麼需要通識教育？我記得自己做學生時，老師最有力的說法，就是指很多大學生連公仔麵也不懂得煮，見微知著，雖然通識科不教家政，但肯定他們需要通識教育。
可惜通識教育注定難以成功。

眼見未必真
昨天有個同事用電郵傳了一張演講的宣傳海報給我，我看到講者的名字印錯了，應是"Perelman"，海報上卻是"Percelman"。於是我立即回電郵告知同事，誰知他說海報上分明印的是"Perelman"，還順便指出其實我們的眼睛時常會作弄我們。我

Tkinter sometimes has a busy-wait main loop (more or less)
One of my always-running programs is a little Tkinter-based Pythonapp. For a while now I've noticed that it was accumulating a surprisingamount of CPU time and would sometimes show up on top as active,despite me not doing anything with it. Today I finally got around tofiguring out why, and the answer is that Tkinter's main loop effectivelybusy-waits in some Python environments.
The standard way for Tkinter-based programs to operate is to make all ofthe Tkinter calls to
我的第一次。。。去SPA by MTM活動「見人」
今天，歷史性地，去了一個要見人的活動 —— SPA by MTM 最新Home Spa Sensation系列發佈會。

都說一見鍾情不可信. 偏偏男主人翁被窗外倩影深深吸引, 從此不能自拔. 金髮女子於他, 猶如來自異國的香羅小扇
A Genius Says Goodbye
最近參加了一個由兩位外國老師教授的專業訓練課程，一連十天的密集學習真的忙得透不過氣，其中一位年長的老師，學有精專，授課生動，說話也時有妙語，令我這個外行人也學得比較明白．

Sickness
When it comes to sickness, nothing comes close to the severity of a sick baby.
Mention that to parents, everyone invariably remembers the first time one's child got sick. I wasn't that impressed with the chapter on "When Baby is Sick" when I first read What to Expect the First Year . I managed to read that chapter again today; I fetched the book whilst packing the bag in a hurry to bring my febrile princess to the hospital last night. (What else could I smuggle when
