Recently, I spent quite a lot of time cleaning up all my toys. With some struggling, I managed to sell some of the rarely used items and picked up all the other little brothers for reunion.
這段時間忙於清理自己的玩具，經過一番努力，終於把不用的賣掉，亦把分佈各處的小兄弟帶回家中團聚。

With the outbreak of COVID-19 across the world, demands on video conferencing and live broadcasting jumped up drastically. Another source of demands were actually coming from those people who were in lockdown state and sharing of video recording and live broadcast becomes one of their works or pastime. These activities imposed a tremendous pressure on the global demands of equipment like Video Cam, WebCam and Microphone across all of the online shopping platforms like Amazon.
近期從社交媒體上的討論得知，全球對視像會議、直播的需求隨著武漢肺炎的廣汛爆發而大增；另外因為很多網民被困於家中，製作網上視頻和直播作分享亦較之前為多，引致對廣播器材的供應構成一定壓力。據説好一些器材如 Video Cam，WebCam 及 Microphone 在 Amazon 等網購平台已出現了供不應求的現象。
Once the booking of the ABRSM Performance Grade Examination has been made, candidate or his/her guardian has to upload the performance examination recording to the ABRSM Portal.
完成了 ABRSM Performance Grade Examination (英國皇家音樂學院表演評級術科考試) 的預約後，考生需要於選定的限期內呈交錄影到 ABRSM 的考試網站。
Just like most of the people in Hong Kong, running out of space is always one of the major issues. Months ago, I decided to convert (or rip) all my Compact Discs to digital format. Over the past 30 to 40 days, I have ripped around 300+ CDs and now it came to its final stage.
又是土地問題，早前決定要把家中所有音樂CD轉成數碼檔案。經歷數十天，完成了約三佰多隻CD，今晚終於踏入尾聲。
Back in early 2020, I had not written any review post for year 2019 or resolutions for the coming year. Partly because I was very busy running my own takeaway shop, but the major reason was that I was feeling down at that time, couldn’t charge up to work out any plan for myself.
2020 年初，我沒有為已過去一年埋數，更沒有訂下新的一年目標，除了是忙於食店的事務外，主要是因心情低落，提不起勁去思考來年的方向。

Ever since I have got my wireless EarPods, time spent on listening to music has increased quite significantly. Without exception, this also applied to today’s family hike.
買了無線耳機後，聽歌的時間比之前多了好幾倍，今早和家人行山也當然不例外。
My family had another hike on Christmas Eve, or to be more exact, morning of Christmas Eve. This looked like kind of strange Christmas celebration, but we can’t help as this is the norm of the year. You can’t go abroad, no group gathering, and probably hiking is a more safe activity. However, my family still have to go in group of two, in order not to violate the social gathering ban and got arrested.
2020 年的平安夜，其實只是早上的日子，和家人去了行山。沒法子，經歷了不一樣的一年，外遊不得，朋友聚會又不可以，戶外行山應該較安全，只是一家人仍要分成二人一組，避免違反限聚令而被捕。
When my blog has accumulated 50000 pageviews, I had written a milestone post to mark this little achievement of my blogger journey. Other than this, I had also started taking Advertisement.
十一月中在我的網誌完成了50000次瀏覽的目標後，我寫了一篇里程碑的文章，作為我博客人生上的一個小小標記。除此之外我還做了一件事，就是為我這個網誌開啟賣廣告之門。
My friend has shared with me her first self filmed video tonight. To my surprise, she managed to present the solid contents fluently for more than 20 minutes without any preparation. Seems like this budding KOL is full of potential.
朋友今晚分享了她第一次自拍的視頻，在沒有任何事前準備下，除了內容充實外，她亦能流暢地演繹了二十多分鐘，看來這個末來 KOL 潛質真不可低估。
I love music since I was a little boy. However, growing up from a not so wealthy family, I did not have the luxury to learn any musical instrument and listening to music on the radio was my greatest pleasure.
自小已很喜歡音樂，遺憾當年家境不太富裕，沒有學習樂器的機會，從電台聽歌便是我最大樂趣。
Time flies and its December, ABRSM Performance Grade Examination finally opened for online booking in Hong Kong.
轉眼又到十二月，ABRSM Performance Grade Examination (英國皇家音樂學院表演評級術科考試)終於開放網上預約服務給香港考生。
A friend of mine told me last night that she would get a new TV for Digital TV Broadcast service. This reminded me the old Analog TV Broadcast service will come to an end effectively on 1 of December.
朋友昨晚談到要買電視接上數碼電視網絡，令我不其然想起舊式模擬電視廣播會在十二月一日正式停播。

I normally went hiking in the Mount Parker country park, which is easily accessible and with sufficient distance as a workout. Hiking in the New Territories seems to be rare to me but I had one with my old classmates in Tsing Yi last month.
平日行山大部分時間都會到柏架山，主要是因爲交通方便又有足夠的路程。相對在新界的路線則較為少去，但在過去的十月尾便與老同學們到遠方的青衣島走了一轉。
Early in September, I had upgraded my old Windows based Intel NUC with a SSD. It ran swiftly for all my day-to-day works except one thing, Wireless network support is still missing. In case I would like to use the NUC as a multimedia player, this will impose some constraints especially on cabling and device placement.
早前為家中的 Intel NUC 更換了 SSD 後，日常運作已非常暢順，用起來亦很稱心。稍為美中不足是欠缺無綫網絡的支援，如要作其他用途，在擺位及網路配線上便較不方便。
On 18 October 2017, I published my first post on this blog.
For a typical techie like me, taking up blogging might seem a little bit wired and quite a lot of my friends were really surprised.
2017年10月18日，我在這裏發放了人生的第一篇文章。
對於一個從讀書、工作都是典型 Techie 的我，入手寫網誌是一個很奇怪的開始，亦令身邊很多朋友感到驚訝。
Eric Clapton was asked about how it felt to be the world’s best guitarist.
His response: “I don’t know. Ask Prince.”
