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。

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。
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。

It has been about two weeks since my boy’s school resumed lessons. Other than having to get up earlier to take him to school, I have the luxury to have more spare time in the morning.
As we did not have any outdoor activities for quite a while, my wife suggested to visit the Mount Parker Country Park today.
不經不覺間兒子回校上課已兩星期多,除了要早點起來陪他上學外,早上卻多了些空閒時間。
很久沒有往外走,今天太太建議到柏架山郊野公園行山。

Hello guys! It has been a long time since my last blog!
Today I’m going to share some interesting rules in Mathematics that is about “How to determine whether a given integer is divisible by a fixed divisor without actually performing the division”.
After a hard day’s housekeeping work, I finally sat down, picked up my guitar and played along those videos suggested by YouTube.
忙了一整天,終於可以坐下來,提起結他跟隨著 YouTube 推介的 video 一起彈奏。
我家兒子原先報考了今年四/五月舉行的 ABRSM Grade 8 Piano Practical Examination (英國皇家音樂學院八級鋼琴術科考試),但因應年初疫情,考試被迫取消。為免浪費數個月的試前準備(其實是高昂的學費),我亦跟隨學院的建議,申請了年尾的考試。
最早認識到 Bon Jovi 是我剛大學畢業的那個年代,和很多年青人一樣,第一首接觸的是 1986 年 11月 Billboard #1 歌曲 You Give Love a Bad Name。
不經不覺又一年,舊車續牌前又要先來個驗車。
經舊同學介紹,早上駕車到炮台山附近的車房作年檢及政府驗車。
