Chinese Fonts on Mac

I think that New Mac users may have a problem with displaying Chinese (標楷體) in Word Documents, the reason is quite simple, In Mac, the font is displayed as another name - "DFKaiShu". In The following link, you can find a new font file that has the same name - 標楷體 as windows.

If you open up Office documents, it will be fixed. Also, if you created a document in Office for Mac with 標楷體. Windows users can also read it.

Searching the web for Mac softwares

Nowadays, My life was "hooked" with Mac (and MMK), well, I have been searching for Mac related software lately, trying to boost my MacBook's productivity. I have now got myself a copy of the MS Office 2008 (cause I need to work on my work stuffs), a collection of Adobe softwares, including Photoshops, Flash, acrobat, Illustrator, dreamweaver, etc.

I am still looking for 3D game for Mac, not because I am particularly into Mac games, but I really would like to see how well the MacBook perform with new Display processor.

Anyway, I still have loads to learn about Mac. I think I will start by learning Adobe Photoshop seriouly, as I think I will be using it to edit photos quite often later.

Bye for now.

其實煮食是我其中一個減輕壓力的方法，熟識我的朋友可能還知道我會上網、彈琴、看書等等。而玩遊戲機，多數是乘車時消磨時間的吧。

朋友們，你們又有什麼減壓的方法呢？

Birthday

My birthday was on the August 10th. However, celebration started on the 8th.

Gigi arranged a group of my colleagues to have dinner on the 8th August, and as that day was the opening of Olympic games, we decided to have dinner in a restaurant that have live TV broadcast. So we enjoyed the evening.

On 9th August, Gigi, Raymond, Jess, Queenie, Alpha and Jason arranged a dinner in Ruby's Tuesday to celebrate Isabel and my birthday. Isabel found out in facebook that our birthdate was on the 9th and the 10th of August. So we decided to celebrate together.

四川地震 - 人性醜惡一面

Macau Trip (March)

After going to Singapore, I have actually went to several trips. I went to Macau for two days in the begining of March, Went to China for three days, and went to Macau again with my colleagues at the end of March.

Well, the main purpose for the first Macau trip was to let MMK do the Bungy Jump. (it's crazy gal!! )




Anyway, we went to a number of new casinos like the MGM grand and the Venician. Enjoy the photos:

Singapore Trip

Resently, I went to Singapore for 6 days for an Student Immersion Programme, well, I ain't the student, I am one of the five teachers that take care of the 24 Primary 4-5 kids. Well, most of the fee was paid by The Ministry Of Education (MoE) in Singapore, so I didn't have to pay.

Well let's summarise what I have done these days.

We left Hong Kong on 18th Feb, the flight took about 4 hours, and we were greeted by the Deputy Headmaster of our partner school - Seng Kang Primary School (SKPS). We went straight to our lodging place in Downtown East, and we called it a day after the seafood dinner at East Coast.

Day 2 and Day 3 we had professional exchanges with colleagues from SKPS where our students had lessons in their school. We had a City tour around Singapore's Famous Merlion and the city center in the afternoon of Day 3.

Day 4 and 5 are sight seeing day, We went to Little Indian and Kampong Glam, where the Indian and Malay people gathers in Singapore. We also went to Chinatown, I bought some Roasted Pork Jerky. Lastly but not least, we took half a day to tour around Singapore Zoo, It was an eye opener for our kids.

As for souvenir, Most of the stuff I bought are food. It's because Singapore's food were quite delicious. And I have always wanted to buy Bah Kut Tah (肉骨茶).

Let's check out more of the photos
