glibberish.

Just got back from Tsim Sha Tsui. Today (Oct. 1) is National Day, and me and three classmates switched to tourist mode and watched the nice 30-minute fireworks display from the harbour. After that we headed to CPK for late dinner and conversation (but I missed cofffee). That was a fun night, and is more productive than if I had just stayed home.

Earlier than that, me and Cheryl went to the Harbour Mall (also in TST) mostly to window-shop. We ended up eating at a neat burger place, me finding a good deal on a Sigma 17-70mm f2.8-4.5, and Cheryl getting tempted to buy that nice LCD TV (I hope she does, haha). Also went to Page One to look for a recommended Java book, “Head First Java”, but not finding it. I did find “Core Java 2″, which I hear is good too. Maybe I’ll buy that soon.

Speaking of Java, I have been learning it these past few days – or at least trying to. I can say that the concept of object-oriented programming is really great, but I find that I cannot yet get myself to think in those terms. I need some practice, much more for conceptualizing programs than for the syntax. But I do find the experience enjoyable.
