Six degrees of separation

Do you believe in six degrees of separation? I do. Six degrees of separation basically means that we are all only 6 persons away from each other. I remember watching a TV programme on the BBC some years ago about a journalist who was trying to find someone through six degrees of separation. If I remember correctly, in the end she succeeded. It's a bit like Friendster, where you can meet friends of a friend up to three degrees.

The reason why I suddenly think about six degrees of separation is because I'll be meeting my primary classmates this Sunday - one who used to be in the same p.m. class as me (I haven't seen her since I left Hong Kong and moved to the UK back in 1987), the other is a friend (from a.m. class) of my p.m. classmates. It's going to be my fourth time meeting primary classmates in London. It kinds of feel weird meeting old classmates in London and not in Hong Kong. I found out today my old classmate attended the same University as me and she knows some of my friends, this lead me to think about six degrees of separation.

The world is very small indeed.

Olympic - London 2012? No way!

I really cannot see how London could cope with an increase number of people travelling on the London underground during an Olympic. You've guessed it! Once again the tube was delayed today, but the most annoying thing was that they didn't make any announcement for 20 minutes before announcing "the next train will arrive in 4 minutes". The train arrived going to Edgware, not the destination for me, so I went to take the Piccadily Line instead and then caught a bus home. Another tiring day, not due to work or an early session at the gym, but due to the tube delays, again!

Happy Chinese New Year!

Happy Chinese New Year!

Same as previous years, there is not much of a Chinese New Year atmosphere in the UK. Well, it seems the British people will enjoy the celebration more than me, as there will be a big celebration at Trafalgar Square and China Town this coming Sunday.

Anyway, I wish everyone Good Luck and most importantly Good Health in the year of the Rooster! 祝你雞年行大運!
