84
-053#125:1:A> Because <{1> <[1> he said </[1> that <ICE-HK:S1A053#126:1:A> You know most teachers are interested in it because it ' s a new
exam <ICE-HK:S1A-053#127:1:A> I mean I expect maybe actually questions on
the new ninety-six syllabus as well <ICE-HK:S1A-053#128:1:A> But I mean some
of these teachers might have actually
already gone to the <,> you know
<{2> <[2> <,> seminars </[2> or or you know <?> Terry and Lowe </?> <{3>
<[3> <,> sessions </[3> <,,> right <ICE-HK:S1A-053#129:1:A> So anyway I
mean he said it ' s up to us <ICE-HK:S1A-053#130:1:A> If we want to start by

<ICE-HK:S1A-053#133:1:A> You know since it ' s it ' s already the second year

<,> but
already then <,> I ' ve valued <,,> the idea that I could be

</[4> <ICE-HK:S1A-054#X191:1:Z> And now my opinion is that in a marriage

<,> if you have worked <{5 > <[5> <,> </[5> you understand the pressure <,>
that a man <,> uh experiences <{6> <[6> <,> </[6> <ICE-HK:S1A-054#

164
uh pass it I mean finish off the homework herself but them uhm of course
quality counts <$B> <ICE-HK:S1A-095#171:1:B> Yeah <$A> <ICE-HK:S1A095#172:1:A> Yeah and <$B> <ICE-HK:S1A-095#173:1:B> What about her
friend <$A> <ICE-HK:S1A-095#174:1:A> Oh she stopped <$B> <ICE-HK:S1A095#175:1:B> She stopped <{> <[>
already </[> <$A> <ICE-HK:S1A095#176:1:A> <[> Yes </[> </{> she stopped <ICE-HK:S1A-095#177:1:A> But
there ' s a big problem here cos I think for the most local school students uh uhm
especially under the present Hong Kong education system it ' s like all you need
is to get through the minimum requirement <$B> <ICE-HK:S1A-095#178:1:B>
165
only interested in biochemistry and bioinformatics <$B> <ICE-HK:S1A095#203:1:B> That ' s why <$A> <ICE-HK:S1A-095#204:1:A> Yeah and and
she doesn't need uhm a <?> position </?> you know a good standard of English
or whatever <$B> <ICE-HK:S1A-095#205:1:B> But you know when compare to
other Form five students she ' s doing
already you know pretty well <$A>
<ICE-HK:S1A-095#206:1:A> Yeah yeah cos I have another like Form four
students I I have a Form four student who ' s in DGS and her English is really
<O> tut </> just flawless I <{> <[> can </[> say <ICE-HK:S1A-095#207:1:A>
It ' s really <{> <[> good </[> <ICE-HK:S1A-095#208:1:A> Yes she

a few students that uh more time on them rather than you have a lot
students which is one or two hours <{> <[> each </[> <$B> <ICE-HK:S1A095#327:1:B> <[> I </[> </{> only have one student I can't even go every

are a teacher
already </I>
167
:S1A-096#16:1:B> <[> Yeah </[> </{> <ICE-HK:S1A-096#17:1:B> I did
a lot for the whole week <$A> <ICE-HK:S1A-096#18:1:A> But you should get

already but he don't want that job <$A> <ICEHK:S1A-096#46:1:A> But what job is it <$B> <ICE-HK:S1A-096#47:1:B> Uhm
one is <$A> <ICE-HK:S1A-096#48:1:A> Sorry <$B> <ICE-HK:S1A096#49:1:B> Hong Kong like Trade what Development Department <$A> <ICEHK:S1A-096#50:1:A> Development Department <$B> <ICE-HK:S1
169
yes <$B> <ICE-HK:S1A-096#439:1:B> Whatever I don't know <$A>
<ICE-HK:S1A-096#440:1:A> Never mind you can check it on the Internet <$B>
<ICE-HK:S1A-096#441:1:B> It ' s really far isn't because William used to live in
<,> Northbridge and it ' s really close <$A> <ICE-HK:S1A-096#442:1:A>
William moved
already <ICE-HK:S1A-096#443:1:A> I didn't live with William
later <$B> <ICE-HK:S1A-096#444:1:B> Yah <ICE-HK:S1A-096#445:1:B> He

170
:S1A-097#80:1:A> Yeah they did pretty bad because they always ditched
the class like I did <ICE-HK:S1A-097#81:1:A> We ditched the class altogether
<ICE-HK:S1A-097#82:1:A> We skipped all classes <$A> <ICE-HK:S1A097#83:1:A> And then they got a D plus I got a C plus for German but it was
already the worst in my class <ICE-HK:S1A-097#84:1:A> I got a I got a C
plus and you know what <ICE-HK:S1A-097#85:1:A> In this semester we got
twenty eight classes but I skipped nine hours so I skipped like one third of classes
<ICE-HK:S1A-097#86:1:A> I even got official letter from
171
thinks <unc> one word </unc> uhm Edinburgh and Dundee <$A>
<ICE-HK:S1A-098#153:1:A> Uhm uhm uhm uhm <$B> <ICE-HK:S1A098#154:1:B> Yeah <$A> <ICE-HK:S1A-098#155:1:A> Uhm uhm <ICEHK:S1A-098#156:1:A> Good for her <$B> <ICE-HK:S1A-098#157:1:B> But she

<ICE-HK:S1B-001#305:1:A> Yes <ICE-HK:S1B-001#306:1:A> So that ' s why
you have <quote> the dead voice the the pleasure of this dead </quote> <ICEHK:S1B-001#307:1:A> Nah for for Frances okay I don't mind because Jimmy had
already married another man <ICE-HK:S1B-001#308:1:A> Why not I try
the second best <ICE-HK:S1B-001#309:1:A> I have nothing to lose <ICEHK:S1B-001#310:1:A> I don't care <ICE-HK:S1B-001#311:1:A> So what

173
<I> <$A> <ICE-HK:S1B-002#1:1:A> Now I hope you still remember the
proper way of tackling this question <ICE-HK:S1B-002#2:1:A> I told you
already <ICE-HK:S1B-002#3:1:A> Uh for any open-end question you have
to state very definitely whether you are for or against <ICE-HK:S1B-002#4:1:A>
And give reason <ICE-HK:S1B-002#5:1:A> Huh <ICE-HK:S1B-002#6:1:A> Give

reason <ICE-HK:S1B-002#7:1:A> Don't try to analyse <&> recording stops and

restarts </&> <ICE174
okay you know if depends on individual case then uh you get the mark
<ICE-HK:S1B-002#26:1:A> Is it clear girls you have to be very clear with your
what <ICE-HK:S1B-002#27:1:A> Your fact <ICE-HK:S1B-002#28:1:A> All right
<ICE-HK:S1B-002#29:1:A> Nah this type of question I told you already <ICEHK:S1B-002#30:1:A> Okay <ICE-HK:S1B-002#31:1:A> Now let ' s continue with
the topic in care for the old <ICE-HK:S1B-002#32:1:A> I think we have nearly
finished everything except the Bible passages <,> tell us very clearly the
Christian perspective or the typical view point or what what other shall we say
<ICE175
us very clearly the Christian perspective or the typical view point or what
what other shall we say <ICE-HK:S1B-002#33:1:A> Uhm <,,> the teaching
according to the Bible right <ICE-HK:S1B-002#34:1:A> All these different things
regarding care for the old <ICE-HK:S1B-002#35:1:A> So now girls have I given
you the tips already <ICE-HK:S1B-002#36:1:A> Okay let ' s look at that one
<ICE-HK:S1B-002#37:1:A> Now care for the old <ICE-HK:S1B-002#38:1:A> Now
before I go on any question <ICE-HK:S1B-002#39:1:A> Now let us look at <,>
the message given here <,,> <ICE-HK:S1B-002#40:1:A> Very direct <ICEHK:S1B-002#41:1:
176
is seventeen times seven or seven it still a number <ICE-HK:S1B002#245:1:A> But it doesn't mean Jesus doesn't mean that even seventeen
times seven <unc> three words </unc> four times four <unc> two words
</unc> finish <ICE-HK:S1B-002#246:1:A> Not that <ICE-HK:S1B002#247:1:A> That means seven means many times
already okay <ICEHK:S1B-002#248:1:A> If seventy times seven means what <ICE-HK:S1B002#249:1:A> Many many many times <ICE-HK:S1B-002#250:1:A> Understand
<ICE-HK:S1B-002#251:1:A> Uh this is a funny I don't why they choose seven
<ICE-HK:S1B-002#252:1:A> Uh you know that time many people like to choose
177
of you until you are old and your hair is grey </quote> <ICE-HK:S1B002#327:1:A> Now this is the reassurance given to God I mean given by God to
the old people <ICE-HK:S1B-002#328:1:A> So the people so people in general
think that the day when you were born the God uh God has
already what
<ICE-HK:S1B-002#329:1:A> Blessed you taking care of you <ICE-HK:S1B002#330:1:A> So when you get old God will look out <ICE-HK:S1B002#331:1:A> Nah then you say how <ICE-HK:S1B-002#332:1:A> How can God
look out <ICE-HK:S1B-002#333:1:A> Actually what this means <ICE-HK:S1B002#334:1:
178
:S1B-002#349:1:A> Okay <ICE-HK:S1B-002#350:1:A> Nah if no question
we have to move because we are really short of time <ICE-HK:S1B002#351:1:A> The next topic <,> <ICE-HK:S1B-002#352:1:A> Sense of sense
of vocation and work <ICE-HK:S1B-002#353:1:A> Uh something you have never
<?> thought </?> of but we have
already talked about it what <,,> <ICEHK:S1B-002#354:1:A> All right <,> has been included there <,> a paragraph
<ICE-HK:S1B-002#355:1:A> Now would you please try to uh <,> find out from
your own understanding <,> and <,> your knowledge <,> about the meaning of
this word W O R K <ICE-HK:S1B-002#356:1:A> What do you mean by work <

179
-003#163:1:A> Everything is being process okay <&> the lecturer
explained that the brain received every sensory stimulus and processed it </&>
<ICE-HK:S1B-003#164:1:A> So in that sense is called parallel processing <ICEHK:S1B-003#165:1:A> So parallel <,,> <ICE-HK:S1B-003#166:1:A> If you are
not uh pay attention to that particular item <,> that particular item is
already <,> in your uh iconic memory <ICE-HK:S1B-003#167:1:A> Let ' s
say you ' re reading these nine letters <,> oh no no no should be nine but twelve
<ICE-HK:S1B-003#168:1:A> Twelve <ICE-HK:S1B-003#169:1:A> Uh <,> and
then I ask you to report the first line and then you actually report it with still the
180
<.> pr </.> reproduce try to report this first line <ICE-HK:S1B003#175:1:A> And then actually you are looking it in your <.> m </.> in your
mind inside the first line <ICE-HK:S1B-003#176:1:A> So you do not have to pay
attention there because uh uh uh to to make a trace of the uh sensory
information is
already there <ICE-HK:S1B-003#177:1:A> So everything is
being process <ICE-HK:S1B-003#178:1:A> They are processed in parallel <ICEHK:S1B-003#179:1:A> This is very important <ICE-HK:S1B-003#180:1:A> So
the first nature is that <,> it is the residual <,> excitation <ICE-HK:S1B003#181:1:A> Second is that in it is processed in
181
-003#184:1:A> So if I ask you to report all these twelve letters <ICEHK:S1B-003#185:1:A> You failed to do it <ICE-HK:S1B-003#186:1:A>
Performance therefore is only thirty percent <ICE-HK:S1B-003#187:1:A> Why
<ICE-HK:S1B-003#188:1:A> Why <ICE-HK:S1B-003#189:1:A> Why <ICEHK:S1B-003#190:1:A> Because it decay
already <ICE-HK:S1B003#191:1:A> So after you report the first line <,> or at the beginning of the
second line <,> all these memory trace gone <ICE-HK:S1B-003#192:1:A> So all
these is the all these memory trace are gone so you can only report at most a
little bit over than one line <ICE-HK:S1B-003#193:1:
182
<I> <$A> <ICE-HK:S1B-006#1:1:A> And uhm at the time the opera
began uh the story uhm the woman ' s <?> host </?> husband the prince has
already dead so uh she ' s now a widow okay very rich widow <ICEHK:S1B-006#2:1:A> And when and a man uh we ' re talk uh the man <ICEHK:S1B-006#3:1:A> Let me give them the names uh we give them give uh give
names uh the man is called the <?> Dardino </?> okay <?> Dardino </?> and
the
183
fluid <?> frozen </?> later on uh <,> we shall use this equation to
investigate the growth uh using these three equations <ICE-HK:S1B-007#4:1:A>
And uh <,> you can see that this equation is derived from uh law of conservation
of mass <unc> one-word </unc> <?> and </?> energy <ICE-HK:S1B007#5:1:A> Uh in your first year you might already uh come across this
equation but it ' s in one dimensional form but this year we shall look at it from a
three dimensional uh approach because generally speaking all the fluid motion
are three dimensional <ICE-HK:S1B-007#6:1:A> So we look at it from a general
point of view and then later on we ' ll simplify
184
> and I said that <unc> two- words </unc> I mean you know write in a
very difficult manner you know writes in long long sentences <ICE-HK:S1B008#71:1:A> You remember that one sentence one sentence consists hundred
words so uh on <ICE-HK:S1B-008#72:1:A> And by time you come to the end of

sentence you
already forgot what what ' s said in the first part of the
sentence right <unc> two-words </unc> <ICE-HK:S1B-008#73:1:A> So uh his
name is in your lecture outline if you have got the out the outline <unc> twowords </unc> <ICE-HK:S1B-008#74:1:A> Now I think I will remind you that
there is a
185
-HK:S1B-009#110:1:A> So I mean it ' s like how do we come about since
the uh fifties and sixties <ICE-HK:S1B-009#111:1:A> How we come about since
seventeenth century and sixteenth century <ICE-HK:S1B-009#112:1:A>
Thinking always about human development in terms of time and this is as I ' ve
put it out
already this is really <?> role the </?> fundamental talents of
Western humanism alright to be <?> historical </?> </I>
186
review of the case so as to refresh your memory <,> <unc> two-words
</unc> <,> <ICE-HK:S1B-011#3:1:A> The Northern <,,> the Northern Petrol
Chemical Company short for NPC was a subsidiary of Northern Natural National
Gas which decided to get into polypropylene production for two reasons <ICEHK:S1B-011#4:1:A> First from production ' s standpoint it was already making
polystyrene which is a precursor of and <unc> one-word </unc> for
polypropylene and therefore it could supply many of the new raw materials for
the product <ICE-HK:S1B-011#5:1:A> Second from market ' s standpoint
polypropylene could <.> subst </.> substitutes for polystyrene which was
expected to have depressed sales because of high benzene prices and possible
shortages <
187
1B-011#16:1:A> On the side of BASF it was reluctant for market
development of new products because it had the cash flow problem and it felt
that more attention should be given to its main specialties which were
encountering difficulties <ICE-HK:S1B-011#17:1:A> It finally came to the
negotiating <,> situation that BASF was willing to sell its already developed
technology but not willing to continue copolymer research and share future
technology while NPC wanted more than the pilot plant advancement and try to
continue be <,> convince BASF to alter its position to meet NPC ' s original
expectation since it was reluctant to carry out its own R and D <ICE-HK:S1B011#18:1:A> After review in
188
firm <?> grands </?> rights to on intangible property to another firm for
a specify period of time and the licensee ordinarily pays a royalty to the licenser
in exchange <ICE-HK:S1B-011#40:1:B> Technology is one of the intangible
property <ICE-HK:S1B-011#41:1:B> In the case BASF was willing to sell the
technology that it had developed
already so BASF prefers acting as a
licenser to sell its developed <.> alread </.> developed technology to NPC
<ICE-HK:S1B-011#42:1:B> However licensing does not match the strategy of
NPC <ICE-HK:S1B-011#43:1:B> NPC prefers <unc> one-word </unc> operation
more since <unc> one-word </unc> operation involves a contract for
construction of operating facilities that are <.>
189
to NPC <ICE-HK:S1B-011#42:1:B> However licensing does not match the
strategy of NPC <ICE-HK:S1B-011#43:1:B> NPC prefers <unc> one-word
</unc> operation more since <unc> one-word </unc> operation involves a
contract for construction of operating facilities that are <.> independ </.> that
are transferred for a fee to the owner when the facilities are
already to

commit operations <ICE-HK:S1B-011#44:1:B> In the case NPC was willing to

invest over one hundred million in the R and D project to obtain technology but it
was not willing to involve in its own R and D <ICE-HK:S1B-011#45:1:B> So NPC
was finding a firm from which it could gain the
190
expert who are familiarized in the technology of what NPC needed <ICEHK:S1B-011#63:1:C> NPC can employ these expert by head-hunting <,> from
those firm who are producing polypropylene now <&> A long pause </&> <$B>
<ICE-HK:S1B-011#64:1:B> Now let ' s come to the question four <ICE-HK:S1B011#65:1:B> What <?> weaks </?> have the firms
already incurred by
going to explore in their discussions <ICE-HK:S1B-011#66:1:B> First of all their
weaknesses are exposed <ICE-HK:S1B-011#67:1:B> For NPC its weaknesses are
it had no advanced technology in polypropylene and it had difficulties in carrying
out its own R and D since it would greatly delay market entry and mean risking
191
<ICE-HK:S1B-014#2:1:A> But then I told him that uh I decide not to
cancel the tutorial class today due to the fact that I will consider it ' s benefit to
you by making use of the time okay ask any question that you come across in the
learning process on any topics or issue that we
already cover during the last
lecture <,> okay <ICE-HK:S1B-014#3:1:A> So you are allowed to ask any
question or any issue that you have either in encounter from the textbook or uh
from last lecture or even from tutorial or from tutorial questions <ICE-HK:S1B014#4:1:A> In case if you have no question to ask me <,>
192
<?> estimate </?> of accessible value then you have to look at the
section five big B <,> okay <ICE-HK:S1B-014#23:1:A> And it ' s start with the
subsection two three four and then you got a five okay and then together with
section seven big C <,> okay <ICE-HK:S1B-014#24:1:A> So for this one I think I
already explain to you in details uh in tutorial two that <ICE-HK:S1B014#25:1:A> Well the issue that you have to take into account would be the
subject matter for the <?> estimate </?> of AV is talking about consideration
okay <ICE-HK:S1B-014#26:1:A> It ' s also consideration in money or sometimes
in money ' s worth okay <ICE193
the <?> estimate </?> of the net AV and you know once you got a AV the
deduction that you can have would be two items <ICE-HK:S1B-014#42:1:A> One
item would be in terms of rates and the condition would be agreed and paid by
the <,> landlord alright <ICE-HK:S1B-014#43:1:A> And then I think we
already come uh discuss about the situation that when a tenant <,> pay
the rent okay <ICE-HK:S1B-014#44:1:A> Usually if the <?> ten </?> pay the
rate which is a usual case in practice <?> nowaday </?> in the market <ICEHK:S1B-014#45:1:A> When you sign a lease agreement with your landlord
normally the rent so paid by you will
194
the law alright and the stages <ICE-HK:S1B-014#49:1:A> And of course
as a skeleton you can see that in those case and normally for the calculation of
tax taxable income under property tax would be we may have item like the rent
common item and then you may have a premium <,,> okay and that ' s being
already a portioned according to the three or four sections okay <ICEHK:S1B-014#50:1:A> And then you may have some other items okay which is
talking about benefits in kinds <,,> <ICE-HK:S1B-014#51:1:A> And that ' s also

pay for the right of use of rent okay and then you come to have a subtotal and
then
195
for this uh assistant may be deductible okay <ICE-HK:S1B-015#71:1:A>
If you can prove that uh this is uh expense having deduct to the large one of
transactions and as result of this by hiring assistants you can earn more income
and it may be deductible and subscription to professional societies so we have
mention this
already okay <ICE-HK:S1B-015#72:1:A> Uh as a concession
this will be deductible when the both conditions are satisfied and also any travel
expense and the use of <,> a motor car <ICE-HK:S1B-015#73:1:A> Any travel
expense from home to office of course it is private expenditure and won't be
deductible <ICE-HK:S1B-015#74:1:
196
<I> <$A> <ICE-HK:S1B-016#1:1:A> Okay anyway I <.> pre </.> I
presume that you ' ve <.> alr </.> you ' ve
already done this uh reading
<,> and anyone here hasn't done it <,> you haven't <ICE-HK:S1B-016#2:1:A>
But anyway I won't be asking you a lot of say difficult questions just to I mean if
you ' ve been attentive to my lecture you ' ll be able to answer some of my
questions here <ICE-HK:S1

do think so <ICE-HK:S1B-032#256:1:A> Uhm because in the Basic Law it
doesn't actually prevent him to bring more people onto the Executive Council
right now <ICE-HK:S1B-032#257:1:A> And I think uhm the <?> current
Legislative </?> Council probably not working as well as it could <ICE-HK:S1B032#258:1:A> He should be
already making uh political appointments from
civil servants who are willing to take on a more political role to sit on the civil <.>

be looking at appointing Legislative Councillors and more people from the outside

legislators have accused the government of giving away Hong Kong
autonomy in the Chief Executive election bill <ICE-HK:S1B-034#X3:1:Z> The
government has now changed the wording but the critics are not satisfied and
will propose their own amendment <ICE-HK:S1B-034#X4:1:Z> Is Hong Kong
giving away its own autonomy <,> or does Beijing already have the right to

remove the Chief Executive <ICE-HK:S1B-034#X5:1:Z> With us discuss this

issue are independent legislator Audrey Eu <,> and legislator Tsang Yuk Sing
Chairman of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong <ICEHK:S1B-034#X6:1:Z> Welcome on to the programme both of you <ICE-HK:S1B034#X7:1:
216
<ICE-HK:S1B-034#16:1:B> In principle uh it is impossible for the <,>
SAR government <,> to modify any power uh <,> given by the Basic Law to the
central government uh central uh people ' s government <{1> <[1> <,> </[1>
<ICE-HK:S1B-034#17:1:B> Uhm <,> the any law pass in Hong Kong cannot act

Uhm uhm </[1> </{1> <ICE-HK:S1B-034#X19:1:Z> <[2> Yes </[2> </{2>
<ICE-HK:S1B-034#X20:1:Z> But but I thought you are unhappy about the
original wording <ICE-HK:S1B-034#X21:1:Z> I mean if if that the case you
cannot add a subtract from <ICE217
election when there is a vacancy <{7> <[7> the vacancy </[7> can
occur and no need to logical circumstance <ICE-HK:S1B-034#43:1:A> One is
that <,> upon the expiry of a five year term and the other is if the term is cut
short and there ' s a <{8> <[8> vacancy <,> </[8> <ICE-HK:S1B-034#44:1:A>
And uh the the government ' s bill
already provided for the acting uh Chief
Justice uh sorry the acting Chief Executive to announce <{9> <[9> uh vacancy
</[9> and to specify the date of the vacancy <ICE-HK:S1B-034#45:1:A> <{10>
<[10> So you </[10> really don't need to go into central people ' s government
path <{11> <[11> to remove </[11> <$Z> <X> <ICE-HK:S1B-034#X46:1:Z>
<[1> Oh you don't agree
218
term <,> <ICE-HK:S1B-034#58:1:B> Say <,> take this uh uh <?>
hypothetical </?> case for example <ICE-HK:S1B-034#59:1:B> If the C E <,>

already <?> vacan </?> let ' s go for a new

reasons </X> <$A> <ICE-HK:S1B-037#11:1:A> Well given the timing
and the circumstances as well as the reasons I think that she provided I certainly
don't think uh they are particularly convincing <ICE-HK:S1B-037#12:1:A> I think
uh for uh someone at that position some of the issues that she raised would have
been already considered I think earlier on <{> <[> <,> </[> when she agree to
served uh continue to serve <{> <[> uh with </[> the uh Chief Executive <ICEHK:S1B-037#13:1:A> And uh so uhm I mean personal reason of course is
something difficult to assess but I think overall uhm I I certainly don't find those
reasons <{> <[> particularly </[> convincing <$Z> <X> <ICE-HK:
221
uh the younger members of the Republic Standing Committee to
challenge Deng Xiao Ping <ICE-HK:S1B-037#187:1:B> Deng was a a court-like

<ICE-HK:S1B-037#X189:1:Z> Uhm uhm </X> <$B> <ICE-HK:S1B037#190:1:B> And I think Deng had a time had
already made up his mind to
perhaps in late uh April to <{> <[> use </[> uhm hardball tactics not
necessarily troops nut uh hardball tactics to <{> <[> crush </[> the what they
perceived as an anti-Beijing movement <ICE-HK:S1B-037#191:1:B> So I I don't
think matters would have uh uhm developed a different way <$Z> <X> <ICEHK:S1B-037#
222
a big promotion <ICE-HK:S1B-037#234:1:B> Perhaps promotion into the

it ' s also true that uhm the conservative could use this as an excuse that the uh
Tainanmen Papers have generate
already instability in Beijing and that ' s
why they should cram down on uh further of of political reform in order to avoid
uh further instability <$Z> <X> <ICE-HK:S1B-037#X237:1:Z> Is the leaking of

<ICE-HK:S1B-037#238:1:A> Uhm <,> well at least
223
maybe you can talk <{> <[> <?> for </?> </[> <$B> <ICE-HK:S1B038#167:1:B> <[> Yes yes yeah of course </[> </{> <ICE-HK:S1B038#168:1:B> <[> But before </[> </{> you know anything why do you you

Well I think on on Gary Cheng affair I I agree that the the legislators should look
into the affair very closely but in the case of of the Robert Chung affair <,> I have
some reservation because <,> I would say that the Hong Kong people have
already had their mind set on on that issue is to who is right and who is
wrong <ICE-HK:S1B-039#174:1:B> The other thing is that uh I don't very much
whether the legislature can really find the truth on this matter when there are so

much subjective element involved <{1> <[1> in the </[1> in that story <ICEHK:
225
show are there any other uh you know media interview of Legislative
Councillor and then uh a local advisor to the uh you know to the Beijing
Government Doctor Huang </X> <$A> <ICE-HK:S1B-040#110:1:A> Well I I
think that in fact if if the newspapers are some of the uh people that have been
appointed have
already started to write the article in the newspaper and
giving interviews and I think that uh in fact that we have the scenario already of
this group becoming a uh an alternative equal to the uhm Legislative Council
<ICE-HK:S1B-040#111:1:A> I think this will become more and more so in the
coming <{> <[> year </[> <$Z> <X> <ICE226
to the Beijing Government Doctor Huang </X> <$A> <ICE-HK:S1B040#110:1:A> Well I I think that in fact if if the newspapers are some of the uh
people that have been appointed have already started to write the article in the
newspaper and giving interviews and I think that uh in fact that we have the
scenario
already of this group becoming a uh an alternative equal to the uhm
Legislative Council <ICE-HK:S1B-040#111:1:A> I think this will become more
and more so in the coming <{> <[> year </[> <$Z> <X> <ICE-HK:S1B040#X112:1:Z> <[> But </[> </{> how are you going to react to that if uh you
know sitting on this show next week
227
wish to do is of course that uh uh the FS uh will in fact uh make the uh
allowances a little bit higher than what it is uh possibly as close to our sixty four
thousand uh as uh possible <{> <[> uh <,> when in the breakfast </[> <$Z>
<X> <ICE-HK:S1B-040#X150:1:Z> <[> But the Financial Secretary </[> </{>

this is first step of the negotiation <ICE-HK:S1B-040#X152:1:Z> Is there room
for manoeuvre </X> <$A> <ICE-HK:S1B-040#153:1:A> Well I think
228
might be <,> I will do so graciously and with a clear <{> <[> conscience
</[> <$B> <ICE-HK:S1B-043#43:1:B> <[> But </[> </{> the point is would
you not think that this is something which worries civil servants at this particular
juncture <$A> <ICE-HK:S1B-043#44:1:A> I fully accept it does worry <ICEHK:S1B-043#45:1:A> As I have said already we must take as our first reference
point the provisions in the Joint Declaration and the Basic Law <,> and the
Chinese I think on many occasions have reaffirmed <,> that they intend to
faithfully implement the Joint Declaration <{> <[> <,> </[> <ICE-HK:S1B043#46:1:A> Uh <{> <[> <?> whilst </?> </[> <$B> <ICE-HK:S1B043#47:1:B> <[> Uhm </[> </{> <ICE-HK:S1B-043#48:1:B> <[> If in </[> </

not the normal retirement age for <?> a </?> civil servant <ICE-HK:S1B043#60:1:A> Fifty-seven has been chosen as the guideline for expatriate officers
to retire in order to make way for suitable local officers so that we are in a
position to implement the provisions in the Joint Declaration <,> <ICE-HK:S1B043#61:1:A> As I have already said in an earlier response uh I cannot be
absolutely certain about my own future after nineteen ninety-seven <,> <ICEHK:S1B-043#62:1:A> I will serve for as long as I am needed and as long as I am

in have the capacity to do so <$Z> <X> <ICE-HK:S1B-043#X63:1:Z> Now you

' ve said
230
the dialogue because both sides feel that it is in uh their interests to reach
an agreement <ICE-HK:S1B-043#107:1:A> We remain fully convinced that an
that an agreement is necessary for Hong Kong and we will do our best to try and
achieve that agreement <,> but as the Foreign Secretary has already pointed
out we do have practical uh physical constraints in that there are elections
coming up in nineteen ninety-four and nineteen ninety-five and we must make
sure that legislation is enacted in time for those elections to be conducted <ICEHK:S1B-043#108:1:A> So we do not have unlimited time but we have not set a
231
' time like what we have said to the <{> <[> imported labour </[>
<$B> <ICE-HK:S1B-044#79:1:B> <[> No you have to </[> </{> leave in two
weeks ' time <$A> <ICE-HK:S1B-044#80:1:A> No that ' s only if they cannot
get their contract renewed <$B> <ICE-HK:S1B-044#81:1:B> Yes <,> and then
what about all all the money they have
already paid in <$A> <ICE-HK:S1B044#82:1:A> Now this is a social insurance scheme <ICE-HK:S1B-044#83:1:A>
If you go to UK and work they may not allow you to stay on forever but you ' ve
got to contribute because that is the obligation as an active uh member of the
economy and this principle applies
232
make it necessarily a crisis <ICE-HK:S1B-045#112:1:A> I think we ' re
sending the wrong message outside Hong Kong because I was in Finland at the
time when the so-called crisis came up and I heard it from London airport that
there ' s a cholera <,> scare in Hong Kong but when I came back it ' s
already under very good control <ICE-HK:S1B-045#113:1:A> So let us get
the problem in proportion <,> and I think let us also uhm adopt a much more sort
of rational attitude towards treating the problem in this right way <ICE-HK:S1B045#114:1:A> I think the measures so far adopted by the government is both
appropriate to
233
room <{9> <[9> a </[9> hundred square feet <ICE-HK:S1B046#102:1:A> Now the rent go <?> ups </?> to <,> to three thousand dollars

days ago <ICE-HK:S1B-046#104:1:A> And uh and uh for three thousand dollars
they they can have a a a one thousand square feet flat already <{11> <[11>
but here in </[11> Hong Kong you can only only have a one hundred square feet
wooden partition <{12> <[12> room </[12> <$Z> <X> <ICE-HK:S1B046#X105:1:Z> <[1> Uhm </[1> </{1> <ICE-HK:S1B-046#X106:1:Z> <[2>

234
<{6> <[6> just </[6> to say you are not pleased you are not happy with
it <ICE-HK:S1B-046#167:1:A> You got to do something <ICE-HK:S1B046#168:1:A> <{7> <[7> Because </[7> well that we we have uh a executive
lack government and we have to convince them we have to do something rather
than just saying <,> for the past few years already we ' ve been talking about
increasing the CSSA standard rate for the elderly <{8> <[8> <,> </[8> and uh
that was starting from nineteen ninety four we almost <?> setting enormous </?

And </[9> yet up to today three years later we still taking about <ICE-HK:S1B046#170:1:A> That is we are
235
1B-047#14:1:A> <{2> <[2> That is </[2> really quite an unsightly
<ICE-HK:S1B-047#15:1:A> You know uh uh scene you want to see on a weekend

I think that is
already getting people a bit educated <{3> <[3> and </[3>
getting around town is making life very <,> a big stressful <ICE-HK:S1B047#18:1:A> And also getting into MTR <{4> <[4> I ' m I ' m </[4> sure
everybody had that experience <ICE-HK:S1B-047#19:1:A> And also <&> tut
</&> if you character look at the <?> middle </?> a lot of these uh container

<ICE-HK:S1B-049#201:2:B> We <,> look at actual <,> voluntarily

at about three thousand <ICE-HK:S1B-049#206:2:B> As it happens the ratio of
vacancy reported vacancy at the level of basic operatives <ICE-HK:S1B049#207:2:B> It ' s about three point four times
237
eight <ICE-HK:S1B-049#259:2:B> Given about three or four years <,>
quite a few of these people would want to would start <,> contemplating coming
back to work in Hong Kong <ICE-HK:S1B-049#260:2:B> If things continue uh uh
to go well because they would have qualified for their foreign passport <ICEHK:S1B-049#261:2:B> They

do you think Britain or can you say right now in nineteen ninety-six and say yes
Britain is prepared
241
-052#53:1:F> But let me suggest otherwise <ICE-HK:S1B-052#54:1:F>
At Britain ' s and China ' s behest we have been attempting to converge with the
post ninety-seven political system which as set down in the Basic Law falls
dangerously short of our standards and requirements <,,> <ICE-HK:S1B052#55:1:F> I remind this council that we have
already declared our support
for the Honourable Jimmy Macgregor ' s motion on October fourteenth that the
Election Committee should be composed of the democratically elected District
Board members <,> <ICE-HK:S1B-052#56:1:F> China ' s ill-reasoned
denunciation of the proposed ninety-five Election Committee structure shows that
convergence serves mainly as a useful cover for instinctive hostility towards
democratic

<ICE-HK:S1B-053#15:1:A> Sir is Hong Kong heading this same direction or is
Hong Kong already there before we begin and has Hong Kong a proper dental

</?> will no doubt come to the defence that there is an on-going policy which is
to promote oral health education and awareness <,> <ICE-HK:S1B-053#17:1:A>
Repeatedly governments has denied access to public funded dental care by

standards of vehicle examinations are uniform <ICE-HK:S1B054#X39:1:Z> The fact is that vehicle owners do not pay anything extra for
roadworthiness certificates <ICE-HK:S1B-054#X40:1:Z> It is the CTC operators
who pay the administration out of the fees they will collect <ICE-HK:S1B054#X41:1:Z> Indeed the schedule of charges
already include administrative
costs <ICE-HK:S1B-054#X42:1:Z> I therefore see no logic or justification
whatsoever in seeking to repeal section two C of the order <ICE-HK:S1B054#X43:1:Z> Mr President if the motion is adopted this will result in a distinct
element of inconsistency on the council ' s part <ICE-HK:S1B-054#X44:1:

long way <,> to allay the business sector ' s fear over the fast pace of
the outline democratic development in Hong Kong <,> <ICE-HK:S1B056#9:1:A> The experience and insight of the members of the Business Council
should provide useful input to the government in formulating business policies
<,> <ICE-HK:S1B-056#10:1:A> Since many of my colleagues have already
commented extensively on the Governor ' s policy proposals I will confine my
comments to a few specific areas which I feel strongly <,> <ICE-HK:S1B056#11:1:A> The first area is competition <,> <ICE-HK:S1B-056#12:1:A> I
agree with the Governor that competition <,> is the key to our economic success
<,> <ICE-HK:S1B-056#13:1:A> It holds down
247
support any legislation which would give consumers more protection <,>
I ' m sceptical about legislations which would discord distort markets and
resource allocations <,> <ICE-HK:S1B-056#33:1:A> Indeed I think I oppose
those legislations <ICE-HK:S1B-056#34:1:A> We must allow market forces full
play <,> if we want genuine and not artificial competition <,> <ICE-HK:S1B056#35:1:A>
Already there are legislations giving customers the <?> full
</?> redress against unscrupulous business practices <ICE-HK:S1B056#36:1:A> However consumers seldom resort to legal proceedings because of
the troubles they have to go through in undertaking such an act <,> <ICEHK:S1B-056#37:1:A> I also disagree with the setting up of more committees or
quangos as watchdogs <,> <ICE-HK:
248
1B-057#26:1:B> At this present formative stage we will be considering a
whole range of issues including for example what competition policy is best
suited to our circumstances <,> <ICE-HK:S1B-057#27:1:B> We have an open
mind on these issues <,> <ICE-HK:S1B-057#28:1:B> In the course of our
deliberation <,> we will take into account the views
already expressed in
this council <,> and any further views that members will no doubt wish to offer
<,> <ICE-HK:S1B-057#29:1:B> I wish to assure members that the
administration will also consult other relevant organizations <,> such as the
Consumer Council <,> in addition to the Governor ' s Business Council <,>
<ICE-HK:S1B-057#30:1:B> Mr Deputy President <,> I note the
249
the Governor ' s Business Council <,> in particular about the absence of
non-business <?> sectoral </?> representatives such as those from the labour

sector and academics <ICE-HK:S1B-057#39:1:B> I would like to reassure

honourable members on this point <,> <ICE-HK:S1B-057#40:1:B> Members are
of course aware that there are many advisory bodies with multi-sector
representation
already <ICE-HK:S1B-057#41:1:B> They provide the
administration and the Governor with valuable advice <,> <ICE-HK:S1B057#42:1:B> They will continue to do so <ICE-HK:S1B-057#43:1:B> There is no
intention at all to sidestep this existing network of consultation <ICE-HK:S1B057#44:1:B> The Governor ' s Business Council will act as an additional

what as I speak <,> I ' m predicting he ' s he ' s
301
the problem he decided to sit completely down <,> this horse has been a
problem horse in the past <ICE-HK:S2A-004#24:1:B> And they ' ve had to bring
a couple of runners out either side of him <,,> and for sure and certain he ' s
going to be a late scratching <,> in fact he ' s off the big board
already

<ICE-HK:S2A-007#156:1:C> Mascot took that box seat in behind and then the
eventual winner <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-007#157:1:C> sat up against the rails in
fourth place <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-007#158:1:C> and you can see that Douglas

with this horse and he ' s just lengthening out <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-007#162:1:C>
all the way down to the line <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-007#163:1:C> he ' s just picking

the paddock parade is uh going to be the five horse here Lucky King <,> <ICEHK:S2A-008#4:1:B> his first up this season <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-008#5:1:B> looks
a big long
306
he had first up <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-009#18:1:B> just tended to wander a
little bit when he had to give chase to Classic Rizzi I don't know it may have been
the case if Classic Rizzi had got far enough in front of him that <,> <ICE-HK:S2A009#19:1:B> he ' d thought he ' d done enough already but <,> <ICEHK:S2A-009#20:1:B> when he finally got to within threequarters of a length of
uh that other horse he never really looked like he wasn't going to get there <,>
<ICE-HK:S2A-009#21:1:B> may just improve a bit more over a bit further yet
perhaps <,> <$A> <ICE-HK:S2A-009#22:1:A> Yes <,> <$B> <ICE307

evening and we can now review the action of that with our caller David Raphael
<,> <ICE-HK:S2A-009#62:1:B> <$C> <ICE-HK:S2A-009#63:1:C> Flag is up
<,> <ICE-HK:S2A-009#64:1:C> And away they go <,> <ICE-HK:S2A009#65:1:C> It ' s an even start <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-009#66:1:C> Superior Title
308
pretty early was on a line of three when they straightened up and he
takes the prize <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-012#71:1:B> now it ' s pretty close for second
Beautiful Dancer <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-012#72:1:B> and House Of Fortunes and
House Of Fortunes badly inconvenienced so great chance of reversing that they
do have the enquiry sign up
already <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-012#73:1:B> it ' s
five four nine and one as they stand and the winner number five Fruitful Always a
five year old Bay Irish bred by Ezzoud from Adacama and Robbie Burke riding for
P K Wong <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-012#74:1:B> and Number nine House Of Fortunes is
second <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-012#75:1:B>
309
the get away and coming together there just after the jump was Midnite
Mouse King and Happy Win Happy Win getting back which is <,> <ICE-HK:S2A013#90:1:B> the norm for him and likewise Blessings got back in the early part
<,> <ICE-HK:S2A-013#91:1:B> coming out in front Jet Air but taken on by Relax
favourite
already box seated the third Top tech and he ' s outside Chiu Wah
Best <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-013#92:1:B> bit of money for Chiu Wah Best tonight but

he hasn't justified it <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-013#93:1:B> to his outside was Midnite

Mouse King we ' ve got Blessings second last in your frame By Myself ' s the last
one
310
Wah Best tonight but he hasn't justified it <,> <ICE-HK:S2A013#93:1:B> to his outside was Midnite Mouse King we ' ve got Blessings
second last in your frame By Myself ' s the last one you see until <,> <ICEHK:S2A-013#94:1:B> you see Happy Win pop in and he ' s eight and nine
lengths off them already <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-013#95:1:B> into the back and
striding to the front now Relax and second spot Jet Air <,> <ICE-HK:S2A013#96:1:B> Danny Beasley was never going to let the leaders get too far away
but he travelled nicely throughout Top Tech he ' s goes up now to sit second
outside of the leader Relax <,> <ICE311
on this season ' s form I could last though so I really don't know what to
make of him <,> <$B> <ICE-HK:S2A-014#6:1:B> Yep I would uh fully agree
with you there on last season ' s form he ' d have a great chance but he looks as
though he ' s had easy enough opportunities to me
already this season <,>
<ICE-HK:S2A-014#7:1:B> ah he ' s getting a bit warm in the paddock here
tonight he does lack a little bit of sparkle he doesn't look like a horse who ' s
really in the absolute top of form at the moment <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-014#8:1:B>
his form hasn't appeared to be on
312
2A-014#18:1:B> ah I just wonder whether that stretching of his stamina
last time is going to leave a mark or not <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-014#19:1:B> he
certainly doesn't look to be quite as well as he did he ' s certainly not losing
weight like he was last season but uh he has looked better than this already
this season <,> <$A> <ICE-HK:S2A-014#20:1:A> He ' s he ' s pretty
consistent over the Valley mile uh I mean he ' s hard to hard to ignore I think he
' ll be he ' ll be there or thereabouts he should get a reasonable run from where
he ' s drawn <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-014#21:1:A> doesn't win too
313
<,> <ICE-HK:S2A-014#37:1:B> he always carry ' s a bit of condition on
him uhm I like him here tonight he looks in good good order <,> <$A> <ICEHK:S2A-014#38:1:A> He uh certainly does and Peter Chapel Hyam ' s got him
holding his form very well and <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-014#39:1:A> uh as you
mentioned already he ' s going to get a good run and certainly could make the
frame and uh he ' s a little bit of value so he ' s one to uh keep safe <,> <ICEHK:S2A-014#40:1:A> John Egan on board <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-014#41:1:A> Next
one I think we ' re going back up to the top half with
314
tierces number twelve My Man so <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-019#18:1:A> two
four three and twelve for me <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-019#19:1:A> they ' ve quite a
few changes so I ' ll quickly go through them now race one number eight Happy

<I> <$A> <ICE-HK:S2A-021#1:1:A> Yeah thank you <.> ch </.> uh
chairlady <ICE-HK:S2A-021#2:1:A> I think uh it ' s always the best for the for

the one to to speak first because uh other uh uh uh uh other speakers will have
to follow uh things which I have
already spoken uh uh <ICE-HK:S2A021#3:1:A> So I better take a lead here <ICE-HK:S2A-021#4:1:A> Uhm the uhm
the whole thing about comparing Hong Kong and China or or Western accounting
and China and Chinese accounting is uh pretty basic in the sense that in the a
foreign environment where you have accounting and
316
-HK:S2A-022#92:2:A> The other is helping users with the new word
processor with a new word interface <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-022#93:2:A> Word for
Windows is the proven <,> Windows word processor <ICE-HK:S2A-022#94:2:A>
it has been shipping for almost twenty four months as of November ninety one
and by July ninety one we have already ship over one million unit worldwide
<ICE-HK:S2A-022#95:2:A> Word for Window is also available in over fourteen
languages and we have make and we have plans to make it available in over
twenty languages in the near future <ICE-HK:S2A-022#96:2:A> Having shipped
over one million unit not only means that the product has
317
<,> they don't study accounting standard because they <.> don </.>
they have no standards <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-023#33:1:A> They have produced a
draft of standards but which has not been uh promulgated yet <ICE-HK:S2A023#34:1:A> So most probably next year onward they will have hopefully have
the first standard <,,> <ICE-HK:S2A-023#35:1:A> I have
already got a
draft with the <.> stan </.> uh the proposed standard which is uh which uh very
similar to international uh accounting standard <ICE-HK:S2A-023#36:1:A> In in
fact in many aspect are similar to uh uh international accounting standard <,,>
<ICE-HK:S2A-023#37:1:A> And <,> I think uh as far as uh university uh
education is concern <,>
318
about it <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-024#24:1:A> And so far do you have any
difficulties in understanding my Chinglish Chinese English <,> thank you <,,>
<ICE-HK:S2A-024#25:1:A> Uhm now I would like to start the tour by telling you
some general informations about Hong Kong okay <ICE-HK:S2A-024#26:1:A>
Uh the population in Hong Kong is
already over <,> six millions <,> and the
total land surface area is around one thousand and seventy five square
kilometers <,> so we have a very high population density in Hong Kong <ICEHK:S2A-024#27:1:A> The population density in Hong Kong is five thousand five
hundred and ninety <,> per square kilometers as I know the population density
in USA is
319
kilometers as I know the population density in USA is around six hundred
<,> per square kilometer <,> in Britain it ' s twenty <,> and in Australia it ' s
only three and some of my guests even told me that among these three one is
the rabbit and the other one is kangaroo <,,> <ICE-HK:S2A-024#28:1:A> And
right now is already the winter time in Hong Kong <,> <ICE-HK:S2A024#29:1:A> We have four distinctive season in Hong Kong <,> the Spring <,>
Summer Autumn and Winter <,> and this week uh <.> i </.> is almost the
coldest week <,> in this winter this year <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-024#30:1:A> Uh the
coldest temperature we ' ve got in the past is around eight degree
320
-HK:S2A-024#41:1:A> They have another houses another holiday houses
<,> in China so they like to commuting <,> from here to China <,,> <ICEHK:S2A-024#42:1:A> And if it is not the first trip for you to come to Hong Kong

or <,> if you have been staying here for a few days I think most of you have
already noticed that <,> there are many Mercedes Benz and BMW in Hong
Kong <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-024#43:1:A> And as I know besides Germany Hong
Kong is the largest market for Mercedes <,> and our government impose almost
one hundred to one hundred fifty percent tax <,> on car <ICE-HK:S2A024#44:1:A> That means <,> the price for the Mercedes and
321
housing for the housing units <,> and as I know the waiting time is at
least six years <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-024#75:1:A> So add up together you have to
live in Hong Kong for at least thirteen years before you can get a housing unit
<,> from the government <&> A BREAK </&> <ICE-HK:S2A-024#76:1:A> And
now we have
already entered to a private housing estate <,> <ICEHK:S2A-024#77:1:A> All these buildings surrounding us <,> are the residential
building <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-024#78:1:A> This is the Mei Foo Sun Chuen <,>
<ICE-HK:S2A-024#79:1:A> The Mei Foo Sun Chuen is the largest private housing
estate in Hong Kong <,> and some people even said it is the
322
Territories <,> because uh Hong Kong consists of the uh Hong Kong Island
<,> Kowloon Peninsula <,> New Territories and two hundred and thirty-five
outlying islands <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-025#9:1:A> And uh <,> first of all I will give
you a map <,> showing what we are going to do today <&> long-break </&>
<ICE-HK:S2A-025#10:1:A> So uh we ' re
already now in Kowloon <ICEHK:S2A-025#11:1:A> So uh we start our journey now <,> and uh we will first
travel to uh Tsuen Wan <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-025#12:1:A> Tsuen Wan is the uh first
satellite town here in Hong Kong <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-025#13:1:A> Hong Kong got
only an area of a thousand and seventy <.> s </.>
323
of that </?> you have actually twisted the motion <ICE-HK:S2A026#54:2:A> That ' s not a real and full American style committee style system
so what ' s the purpose and what is your aim to insist to inject the American
style committee system to Hong Kong <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-026#55:2:A> In the
present and future constitution constraints already laid down on the power <?>
of </?> Legco <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-026#56:2:A> And <?> the </?> American
Congress <ICE-HK:S2A-026#57:2:A> What did constitution grant it <ICEHK:S2A-026#58:2:A> The power of the House of Representatives to initiate bills
through raising revenue <ICE-HK:S2A-026#59:2:A> For example like taxation
policy those things <ICE-HK:S2
324
<ICE-HK:S2A-026#59:2:A> For example like taxation policy those things
<ICE-HK:S2A-026#60:2:A> But the Basic Law Article seventy four stated that
bills which do not relate to public expenditure or political structure or operation of
government many be introduced with the written consent of the chief executive
<ICE-HK:S2A-026#61:2:A> And this already pose limitation of the power of our
Legco <ICE-HK:S2A-026#62:2:A> And this is actually the constitutional
constraints <ICE-HK:S2A-026#63:2:A> And what ' s the purpose of the many
constitution simply to inject it through American style committee system as what
you have proposed <ICE-HK:S2A-026#64:2:A> And that this relates to other
325
the constitutional constraints <ICE-HK:S2A-026#63:2:A> And what ' s
the purpose of the many constitution simply to inject it through American style
committee system as what you have proposed <ICE-HK:S2A-026#64:2:A> And
that this relates to other question what is the ultimate goal of all Hong Kong

people facing the drastic transfer of sovereignty

already approaching <ICEHK:S2A-026#65:2:A> Then stability is the main <?> stake </?> we have to
maintain so as to achieve a smooth transfer and smooth convergence <ICEHK:S2A-026#66:2:A> Do you think that Hong Kong is able to afford any rigid
constitution which will cause crisis that antagonize China <ICE-HK:S2A026#67:2:A> I mean do
326
ad hoc groups is what we need <ICE-HK:S2A-026#79:2:A> Most
important of all what are the problems without Legco and this is the burden of
proof by the proposition <ICE-HK:S2A-026#80:2:A> Be clear that we do not
advocate any stagnation <ICE-HK:S2A-026#81:2:A> In fact in the present
situation there are already incremental changes in our Legco <ICE-HK:S2A026#82:2:A> Significantly former OMELCO panels already transformed into a
Legco <.> ma </.> panels as it will <unc> one- word </unc> <ICE-HK:S2A026#83:2:A> And being <.> cur </.> being established corresponding with

administration <ICE-HK:S2A-026#85:2:A> The problem
328
of the chief executive <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-026#95:3:A> That ' s a really
negative power <ICE-HK:S2A-026#96:3:A> I mean if you are gonna to give that
to me I wouldn't feel too happy <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-026#97:3:A> Also they claim
that it has no permanent expertise <ICE-HK:S2A-026#98:3:A> Well Janice ' s
already answered that one so I <?> would just </?> leave that <ICEHK:S2A-026#99:3:A> I ' ll move on to structural efficiency <ICE-HK:S2A026#100:3:A> They say <?> that </?> there ' s no efficiency <ICE-HK:S2A026#101:3:A> Legco has been known to pass <?> a bill </?> in thirty minutes
through all three hearings <ICE-HK:S2A-026#102:3:A> To
329
trying to explain to uh to the Americans <,> is that <,> economic
success and prosperity has to come ahead of political and human rights
development <ICE-HK:S2A-028#61:1:A> Not the other way round <ICE-HK:S2A028#62:1:A> If you look at Russia <,> Eastern Europe <,,> doesn't work <ICEHK:S2A-028#63:1:A> So therefore <,> since China is
already on the uh
reform path it is absolutely critical <,> for for uh US to maintain our MFN status
so that we can continue to trade with China <,> help China and its modernisation
<,,> and then in turn it will help <,> the rest of the population in improving on
human rights and other <,> political <,> uh evolution <ICE-HK:S2A028#64:1:A>

Kong <,,> <ICE-HK:S2A-031#51:1:A> And down here at the bottom of
our itinerary sheet we have we have included the map of Hong Kong <ICE-

HK:S2A-031#52:1:A> And well I think you all realize that Hong Kong is just a very
tiny dot on the world map and this has shown all of Hong Kong already <ICEHK:S2A-031#53:1:A> And Hong Kong is basically made up of four parts <ICEHK:S2A-031#54:1:A> We ' ve got the <?> frog </?> - shaped Hong Kong Island
down here and cross the Victoria Harbour <,> cross the Victoria Harbour we have
the Kowloon Peninsula and to the north of Kowloon we have the New Territories a

of them are telling the truth they did not they did not mean to tell lies but
they ' ve got different versions of truth <ICE-HK:S2A-031#101:1:A> So that ' s
the interesting part of living here or staying here <,,> <ICE-HK:S2A031#102:1:A> <?> Well </?> I don't know whether you realize or not but we are
already in the New <.> Terri </.> Territories area <ICE-HK:S2A031#103:1:A> The purpose of this tour is to draw you away from the busy area

333
<,> throughout the debate our side has repeatedly mentioned this <ICEHK:S2A-032#9:1:A> That the real American style system should include the
power to initiate bills <.> lik </.> including the power to initiate bills concerning
public expenditure <ICE-HK:S2A-032#10:1:A> This is part and partial to the
committee system <ICE-HK:S2A-032#11:1:A> And I ' ve
already talked so
long about this <ICE-HK:S2A-032#12:1:A> So I ' m not going to go on it
anymore <ICE-HK:S2A-032#13:1:A> But ladies and gentlemen be reminded that
we have mentioned about it <ICE-HK:S2A-032#14:1:A> And also <,> the
American style committee system <,> what we think that it would introduce by
introduction of
334
:S2A-032#24:1:A> Without <unc> one-word </unc> find other ways to
improve or to further enhance <ICE-HK:S2A-032#25:1:A> And also monitory
powers <ICE-HK:S2A-032#26:1:A> Ladies and gentlemen we have mentioned
that to monitor government is not only the work of the Legislative Council <ICEHK:S2A-032#27:1:A> In fact we ' ve already advocated in <?> purpose </?>
like relaxing or repealing the Official Secrets Act but they have not responded
throughout the debate that this is in fact an incremental change that would be
better than bringing in into Hong Kong a totally foreign and revolutionary
committee system <ICE-HK:S2A-032#28:1:A> Ladies and gentlemen as we have
mentioned from the very
335
for good quality but at this stage what we need is made in Hong Kong
which suits the uniqueness of the situation <ICE-HK:S2A-032#34:1:A> Thank

you </I> <I>

<$A> <ICE-HK:S2A-032#35:2:A> Good
evening ladies and gentlemen <ICE-HK:S2A-032#36:2:A> At this hour tonight I
think all of you including me are
already very tired and especially
exhausted by the confusing arguments of our opponents <ICE-HK:S2A032#37:2:A> Well let me thank them for their research on the <.> constitu </.>
on the uh American Constitution and also their research on the American style
committee system <ICE-HK:S2A-032#38:2:A> I want to say that your research is
not wasted <ICE336
one this year <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-032#73:2:A> Let me repeat the points
that we have raised before ladies and gentlemen <ICE-HK:S2A-032#74:2:A>
First the American style committee system <ICE-HK:S2A-032#75:2:A> In fact I
don't want to waste time to <?> drawl </?> into this because I feel you with an
open mind have
already understood that <ICE-HK:S2A-032#76:2:A> Well let
me bring you to the Hong Kong context that is the problems that we are facing
<ICE-HK:S2A-032#77:2:A> First we do not have sufficient expertise being built in
the Legislative system to deal with the <?> problem </?> <ICE-HK:S2A032#78:2:A> Second there is relatively low efficiency
337
American style committee system are permanence formal structure and
style as well as openness to public <ICE-HK:S2A-032#82:2:A> These will bring
about advantages of effectiveness expertise and accountability <ICE-HK:S2A032#83:2:A> These advantages in fact totally and rightly solve the problems in
Hong Kong that now our Legislative Council is facing and these are
already
explained in full detail by our speakers <ICE-HK:S2A-032#84:2:A> Ladies and
gentlemen our argument is clear <ICE-HK:S2A-032#85:2:A> We don't want to
contradict the Basic Law and we don't want to antagonize Beijing Government
<ICE-HK:S2A-032#86:2:A> Even our governor Chris Patten believes that there is
a danger of
338
from the third speaker is that they are contradicting themselves because
they said that they will not confine themselves to monetary terms but summing
up from him though it is all from monetary terms so please don't confine
ourselves to the monetary payments <ICE-HK:S2A-032#104:3:A> Sacrificing
one form with another is a form of payment already <,> <ICE-HK:S2A032#105:3:A> So what is the example <ICE-HK:S2A-032#106:3:A> If the third
world countries could export more tax <unc> one-word </unc> their need to sell
the timber would be less desperate <ICE-HK:S2A-032#107:3:A> If Europe ' s
farmers were not protected then the land values would be lower so as
339
this new style Legco which has for the first time eighteen directly elected
members and twenty one from functional constituencies seventeen appointed
and three government officials senior government officials <ICE-HK:S2A033#58:1:A> And many of you will probably be wondering how is this new Legco
going to work <ICE-HK:S2A-033#59:1:A> And uh I think already our colleagues
and government officials are getting a taste of you know how things uh will
change uh <ICE-HK:S2A-033#60:1:A> One thing that we have been discussing
and we will discuss uh will continue to <.> dis </.> discuss is the setting up of
committee systems whether <ICE-HK:S2A-033#61:1:A> Well I actually I was
quite

340
<ICE-HK:S2A-033#129:1:A> Do it in Legco and give us the chance
immediately after the statement is made to ask questions <ICE-HK:S2A033#130:1:A> Then you can go on and release the press <ICE-HK:S2A033#131:1:A> But of course we would have been we would have asked
questions
already <ICE-HK:S2A-033#132:1:A> The press would have seen us
asking questions then they don't need to come to us <ICE-HK:S2A033#133:1:A> Then you can the the government official can go on and <?>
release </?> them <ICE-HK:S2A-033#134:1:A> So that ' s another thing that I
would like to see happening <ICE-HK:
341
can <,> get from the Po Leung Kuk Archives <ICE-HK:S2A-039#70:1:A>
Testimonies of destitutes staying in the Po Leung Kuk <indig> lauh guhk uaahn
fuh yuh hau gung bouh </indig> and as far as I know uh after I have uh <.> wri
</.> written up uh my thesis I know that uh the Po Leung Kuk uhm had
already uhm made a systematic uh <.> tran </.> uh translation uh of
these uh works uh so maybe uh you may get different names uh <,> <ICEHK:S2A-039#71:1:A> The name may not be testimonies of destitutes staying uh
in the in the Po Leung Kuk <ICE-HK:S2A-039#72:1:A> Uh I don't know uh what
names they
342
-HK:S2A-041#38:2:A> All these are is the same amount of people going to
be crossing <,> at uh let say five a m in the morning <,> <ICE-HK:S2A041#39:2:A> This is absurd <ICE-HK:S2A-041#40:2:A> And secondly uhm <,>
they have mentioned about the economic cost <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-041#41:2:A>
As my captain has already mentioned <,> there are economic cost problems <,>
such as the infrastructure human resources and the cost effectiveness <,> and
uhm they mention that there is not there is not a need for people to watch over
the uhm to watch over uhm there is not a need to increase the labor <,> if there
' s a twenty-four hour border crossing <ICE343
state <,> just is not up to the competition <ICE-HK:S2A-045#21:1:A>
And if we do have this twenty-four hour cross uh opening on the cross-border <,>
what would that be a symbol <,> that we are not keeping our people in and that
we are encouraging them out <,,> <ICE-HK:S2A-045#22:1:A> Besides <,>
Hong Kong China already has an international arbitration center <ICE-HK:S2A045#23:1:A> What makes you think <,> that they are going to <,> uh <?>
usualize </?> Hong Kong ' s uh <,> legal ' s uh <,> legal services or the
economic services <ICE-HK:S2A-045#24:1:A> Do you think that they are really
lagging that behind us <,,> <ICE-HK:S2A-045#25:1:A> We have to stand <?>
344
kicking our doors wide open <,> that because of this more convenience
<,> uhm <.> beca </.> uh this the some these are some of the good points the
opponents had been talking about <,> but they have not been looking at the
long-term <,> consequences of this twenty-four hour cross border open access
<ICE-HK:S2A-045#27:1:A> And although it is
already happening <,> it is no
justification <,> to bring out this <.> m </.> more than a policy change <ICEHK:S2A-045#28:1:A> However <,> why twenty-four hours <,> they ' ve also not
talked about it <ICE-HK:S2A-045#29:1:A> It is although it is already happening
<,> do you think that <.> techni </.> technicians and professionals actually
work twenty-hour hours <ICE-HK:

<ICE-HK:S2A-045#30:1:A> It is the whole symbolism of its all uh of of these all
<ICE-HK:S2A-045#31:1:A> The Hong Kong is losing its ground <ICE-HK:S2A045#32:1:A> Next of all I talked about crime <ICE-HK:S2
346
do not <.> exacer </.> exacerbate the problems <ICE-HK:S2A045#72:2:A> There simply is no <.> re </.> correlation <,> between these two
things <ICE-HK:S2A-045#73:2:A> And then assumption number three that they
have made <,> they assume that <,> this policy <,> this practice in is infeasible
<,> and is cost <.> in </.> ineffective <,> but we say <,> that <,> this is not
true as
already defeat this point is already defeated by our speakers <,>
since we provided you that the alternatives say the smartcard <ICE-HK:S2A045#74:2:A> It will not increase the manpower <ICE-HK:S2A-045#75:2:A> It
will not <,> waste our resources <,> because we ' ve also quoted the some <,>

348
presume that <,> the China ' s accession <,> to the WTO <,> is
detrimental to Hong Kong <,> but we say <,> that ' s not true <,> because we
can create a win-win situation <,> in both Hong Kong and China <,> because
Hong Kong can provide the hi-tech hi-tech hi-tech to uhm expertise and
knowledge to China and we Hong Kong have
already established a long

<,> <ICE-HK:S2A-051#61:2:A> Well okay <ICE-HK:S2A-051#62:2:A> Now just
imagine you uhm you find uh you want to have uh your own company and also
imagine that you ' ve <.> ha </.>
already had a good product <ICE-HK:S2A051#63:2:A> You have good guys like Howard <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-051#64:2:A>
He has drawn up an excellent advertising campaign for you to sell this product
and you also have help from excellent people such as Jeff and his team to help

tablespoon for one portion <,> three quarter tablespoon for my other portions it
' s double alright and then I got oil <,> or water is already in there you can also
add in a few shakes of pepper if you want to <,> alright <ICE-HK:S2A052#71:1:A> So oil <,> is about a tablespoon <,> one for one portion that is for
my <,> double alright <ICE-HK:S2A-052#72:1:A> So everything is in there <,>
you mix <ICE-HK:S2A-052#73:1:A> So you got a <
353
-053#60:1:A> Okay <,> now <,> I have to say what is retailing profit
<,,> <ICE-HK:S2A-053#61:1:A> A retailing profit is <,> when you buy <,> when
you buy the goods from the factory <,> and the price have to be fixed and when
you sell it to your friend your consumer your customer and the also the consumer
price is also fixed already <ICE-HK:S2A-053#62:1:A> You don't have to adjust
that and you are not allowed to adjust that it ' s what it ' s keep a fair market
<,> so when you <,> when you buy it and sell it you can earn <,> at least or
around thirty percent <,> around thirty percent probably sometimes twenty-nine

is the uh computer in those days <,>
<ICE-HK:S2A-054#8:1:A> And it
' s in <?> walls </?> and <?> room full </?> of it <ICE-HK:S2A054#9:1:A> And this is probably just one meg of memory <,,>
<ICE-HK:S2A054#10:1:A> And of course today you can fit all of those into a little PCB board
like that and
already most more than the uh uh last two pictures in this
middle area <,>
<ICE-HK:S2A-054#11:1:A> And until the nineteen fifty this
man probably is <,> recognized as the father of CAD <ICE-HK:S2A054#12:1:A> He joined the computer technology and the uh <,> radar
technology and he draw lines <?> on </?> interactive <,>
<ICE-HK:S2A054#13:1:A>

355
and it ' s very large <ICE-HK:S2A-054#16:1:A> And you can see it ' s
quite similar to the radars <,>
<ICE-HK:S2A-054#17:1:A> And that is the
mainframe computer <,>
<ICE-HK:S2A-054#18:1:A> And this is quite modern
one is in the sixties <,> end of sixties <,>
<ICE-HK:S2A-054#19:1:A> <?>
We ' re </?> using that
already to uh do computer aided design <ICEHK:S2A-054#20:1:A> The example is that it is a goblet being uhm drawn on the
computer <ICE-HK:S2A-054#21:1:A> It is in the form of a wire frame <,>
<ICE-HK:S2A-054#22:1:A> And to uh provide a surface and the solid model onto
this wire frame you
356
uhm drawn on the computer <ICE-HK:S2A-054#21:1:A> It is in the form
of a wire frame <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-054#22:1:A> And to uh provide a surface
and the solid model onto this wire frame you can present it to the computer as an
object <,>
<ICE-HK:S2A-054#23:1:A> And in those days <,> they are
already using advanced technology like texture mapping onto the goblet so
that you can see it ' s a uh actually on the surface of the goblet <ICE-HK:S2A054#24:1:A> But it ' s actually not the same thing <ICE-HK:S2A-054#25:1:A>
It is by a technique called texture uh <,> texture mapping <,,> <ICE-HK:S2A054#26:1:A> So

technology like texture mapping onto the goblet so that you can see it ' s

called texture uh <,> texture mapping <,,> <ICE-HK:S2A-054#26:1:A> So
they are
already doing things like uh uh futuristic architectural design
visualizations <,>
<ICE-HK:S2A-054#27:1:A> Uh in those days the fly through
of <,> <unc> one-word </unc> try to fly through of of the city uh all done in

the thesis downloaded into my PC already okay <ICE-HK:S2A-056#5:1:A> It only

or not guilty <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-063#63:2:A> In the course of my
summing up <,> I will endeavour to tell you what is the law to be applied to this
case <,> and to draw your attention to some salient features of the evidence
which I hope <,> may assist you in your deliberation <,,> <ICE-HK:S2A063#64:2:A> You have already heard speeches from counsel <,> both for the
prosecution and for the defence <,,> <ICE-HK:S2A-063#65:2:A> You will give
very careful consideration to what they have said to you <,,> <ICE-HK:S2A063#66:2:A> However I must tell you <,> what counsel said in their speeches is
not evidence <,,> and is not binding on you <,> <ICE-HK:S2A-063#67:2:
364
into two category <ICE-HK:S2A-065#11:1:A> First is robbery <ICEHK:S2A-065#12:1:A> Second category is the sexual offences <ICE-HK:S2A065#13:1:A> You have been told and no doubt you will be uh uhm directed in
due course by his Lordship about the burden of proof <ICE-HK:S2A-065#14:1:A>
My friend have
already addressed you on that <ICE-HK:S2A-065#15:1:A>
Basically it ' s very simple <ICE-HK:S2A-065#16:1:A> You just have to be sure
having heard the evidence and consider the evidence you have to be sure uh that
you are are are are to the extent that you for sure that these Defendant had
committed the offence <
365
side uhm uh of of it <ICE-HK:S2A-065#57:1:A> Uh you ' ll remember
that Doctor Wong confirmed and told us that there is no evidence to show sexual
intercourse <ICE-HK:S2A-065#58:1:A> Again qualification is as far as Doctor
Wong is concerned that she had washed herself <ICE-HK:S2A-065#59:1:A> And
<,> I ' ve already told you what weight <?> Defendant will be </?> placed on
the evidence about having washed herself <ICE-HK:S2A-065#60:1:A> So that

<,> basically is is the evidence of uhm of Madam Lam <ICE-HK:S2A065#61:1:A> In itself is doubtful for recent charges submitted to you <ICEHK:S2A-065#62:1:A> But if you match that against the
366
defendant have does not have to prove his innocence at all <ICE-HK:S2A068#30:1:A> Before you can convict him you must be sure of his guilt <ICEHK:S2A-068#31:1:A> And that is the same thing as being satisfied beyond the
reasonable doubt of his guilt <ICE-HK:S2A-068#32:1:A> A phrase which you
have already heard <ICE-HK:S2A-068#33:1:A> Let me first tell you what the
prosecution needs to prove in the presence offence of robbery <ICE-HK:S2A068#34:1:A> The prosecution must prove that the accused did together with Hau
Chuen Sum and three other persons <,> steal Hong Kong dollars seven million
and French Franc six hundred thousand which belonged
367
you think that the evidence is sufficient to prove that they are guilty
<ICE-HK:S2A-070#52:1:A> And you are sure that they are guilty <ICE-HK:S2A070#53:1:A> Now <,> what does it mean <,> that the burden of proof is on the
prosecution <ICE-HK:S2A-070#54:1:A> My friends have explained it very clearly
to you
already but I would like to add this <ICE-HK:S2A-070#55:1:A>
When the verdict remains with the prosecution it means the defendants do not
have to prove anything <ICE-HK:S2A-070#56:1:A> And therefore it is not
required of them to go into the witness box to give evidence <ICE-HK:S2A070#57:1:A> They do not
368
in <.> res </.> in respect of the rape but also in respect of the attempted
rape and <,> the indecent assault <ICE-HK:S2A-070#135:1:A> There is no other
evidence except the victim ' s bare words that she had been indecently
assaulted <,> by by the by the Third Defendant </I> <I> <$A> <ICE-HK:S2A070#136:2:A> Miss Sze had
already drawn your attention to quite a number
of discrepancies between the oral evidence of Madam Ng given in the court and
what she told the police in various witness statements <,> she gave in the
beginning of nineteen ninety three <ICE-HK:S2A-070#137:2:A> I would refresh

already got
driving licence . <ICE-HK:W1B-004#175:2> It makes me feel interested in
learning to drive . <ICE-HK:W1B-004#176:2> But I don't know whether I should
learn now or after I graduated . <ICE-HK:W1B-004#177:2> It will be difficult to
spare time having lessons if one is working . <ICE-HK:W1B-004#178:2> But I

Jordon </-> <+> Jordan </+> is coming back to play basketball . <ICE-HK:W1B009#108:3> This rumor started on last week that he announce that he retired
from baseball , and will practice with Bulls on Monday and Tuesday . <ICEHK:W1B-009#109:3> That is the indication of coming back . <ICE428
are no other ways to communicate with them . <ICE-HK:W1B009#243:6> One very interesting feature in HKU especially in the English
Department is that many Dr. learn to speak Cantonese . <ICE-HK:W1B009#244:6> In addition , I need to make new friends or else I will be lonely in the
university . <ICE-HK:W1B-009#245:6> Although , I have
already got some
good friends in the university , usually my former classmates , they study
different subjects and we have little time to meet each other . <ICE-HK:W1B009#246:6> To solve the problem of feeling lonely , I make a lot of new friends
from different faculty , different departments and different backgrounds . <ICEHK:W1B-009#247:6> I got to know these
429
her middle ages , she is getting fatter than before . <ICE-HK:W1B009#259:6> In the past she only got about 40kg but now she has got 46kg .
<ICE-HK:W1B-009#260:6> We all remind her to keep a watch on her weight as
too fat is not so good for her health . </p> <ICE-HK:W1B-009#261:6> It is
already 1:30a.m . <ICE-HK:W1B-009#262:6> I better stop here . <ICEHK:W1B-009#263:6> Write soon ! <ICE-HK:W1B-009#264:6> Love , <ICEHK:W1B-009#265:6> Christa <ICE-HK:W1B-009#266:6> 12/11/92 </I>

-HK:W1B-015#116:7> Dear Peggy , <p> <ICE-HK:W1B-015#117:7>

and the letter i received yesterday , <ICE-HK:W1B-015#119:7> it is so great that
i can receive both of them . <ICE-HK:W1B-015#120:7> i haven't checked my

already since i think that i will not have any mails
. <ICE-HK:W1B-015#121:7> but since now i know you will be sending me some ,

i will surely check when i have time . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W1B-015#122:7> i

Governors of the HKAC held on 6th June 1994 . <ICE-HK:W1B-017#5:1>
As most of the HKAC project funds reply on sponsorship , sponsor for free
ticketing system to the HKAC as a project was suggested . <ICE-HK:W1B017#6:1> It was resolved that the Urban Council &obrack; UC &cbrack; should
be approached for this purpose as the UC has
already been subsidizing the
HKAC in using the said ticketing system , the Board believes that an extension of
this subsidy should be acceptable to the UC as this would allow more funds to be
available to the HKAC in presenting more/better programmes . </p> <p> <ICEHK:W1B-017#7:1> Your name was given by Mr. Paul Young , representative of the

to cater for the anticipated increase of workload . <ICE-HK:W1B017#49:2> This is the rational behind the requested relocation as discussed in
our previous meeting . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W1B-017#50:2> Instead of
exercising the planned relocation , to extend ARIC ' s tenancy on 1 April 1994 for
six months at the present location and at a reduced market rental has
already been a reduced market rental has already been a concession upon
your request . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W1B-017#51:2> To enable ARIC to have
more time to plan for its budget for relocation , as a gesture of goodwill to
support the arts community , the Hong Kong Arts Centre once again agrees to
extend ARIC ' s existing tenancy at similar
448
workload . <ICE-HK:W1B-017#49:2> This is the rational behind the

&cbrack; . <ICE-HK:W2A-002#54:1> Unlike the State apparatus which can be
experienced in tangible forms of repressive agencies , the Ideological State
Apparatuses function unconsciously , being already installed and inscribed in
various institutionalized social practices . <ICE-HK:W2A-002#55:1> Ideology

to body forth its expression . <ICE-HK:W2A-007#25:1> Hence , they
should , in accord with its medium , transcend methods and practices pertaining
to general and comparative literature study . <ICE-HK:W2A-007#26:1> It follows
then that a viable and distinct methodology for the investigation and study of
Chinese-Western comparative drama is in order , in addition to what has
already been made available by Chinese-Western comparative literature
study in general . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2A-007#27:1> At this point in time ,
some initial steps have been taken . <ICE-HK:W2A-007#28:1> One has seen

works addressing themselves to comparing the concept of theatre in China and

the West , Grotowski ' s Poor Theatre and Chinese theatre , aesthetic ideals in
470
analysis , Dr. Sato points out that the two Asian plays were written under
the influence of Ibsen ' s romantic play , and that among them , there are
enough parallels in dialogue , characterization and dramatic techniques to
warrant a case of influence and reception . <ICE-HK:W2A-007#50:1>
Reasonable as it sounds , Sato ' s article is informative , pointing out what has
already been known generally , and could use more in-depth cultural and
aesthetic analysis . <ICE-HK:W2A-007#51:1> The interesting aspect of Sato ' s
article , however , lies in its intra-Asian comparative literature perspective , and
raises a curious question : How do the Chinese and Japanese writers , in this case
, T'ien Han and Sato Koroku , differ or resemble each other
471
construct rather than an ontological given . <ICE-HK:W2A-009#7:1>
Furthermore , they have affirmed &obrack; through rereading Walter Benjamin
&cbrack; the power of translation to provide a new lease of life &dash; an afterlife
&dash; for the &lsquo; original &rsquo; . <ICE-HK:W2A-009#8:1> Post-colonial
translation theorists , meanwhile , have alerted us to the unequal power relations
that always already exist in the transfer of texts across cultures , and to the
operation of translation as the ideological handmaid of imperialism . <ICEHK:W2A-009#9:1> This ties in with studies on norms of translation &dash; first
initiated by proponents of the poly-system theory such as Itamar Even-Zohar and
Gideon Toury . <ICE-HK:W2A-009#10:1> And , lately , Theo Hermans

The gigantic mass is immobilized before the eyes . <ICE-HK:W2A-010#7:1> It is
transformed into a texturology in which extremes coincide - extremes of ambition
and degradation , brutal oppositions of races and styles , contrasts between
yesterday ' s buildings , already transformed into trash cans , and today ' s
urban irruption that block out its space ... <ICE-HK:W2A-010#8:1> Its present

accomplishments and challenging the future . <ICE-HK:W2A-010#9:1> - Michael

Legislative Councils . <ICE-HK:W2A-011#10:1> They are in turn
supported by other appointed members in the Legco . <ICE-HK:W2A-011#11:1>
But the institution of a democratically constituted chamber , though subject to
qualification , ruins that practice . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2A-011#12:1> In
strictly legal sense , the Governor is empowered to dissolve the chamber of
blatantly veto bills already approved by it , if he finds the situation beyond
control . <ICE-HK:W2A-011#13:1> This may perhaps help reassert government
authority . <ICE-HK:W2A-011#14:1> This measure may also compel members to
take to compromises in order to avoid another election . <ICE-HK:W2A011#15:1> Be that as it may , the question then lies in whether the
administration could

endeavours . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2A-011#64:3> In fact ,
biotechnology has been identified by the Technology Road Maps , a group of
Hong Kong top-ranking scientists and technologists , to be one of four industrial R

&ampersand; D areas that should be given priority . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2A011#65:3> Furthermore , it has been contended that firstly Hong Kong is
already lagging behind in the biotechnological race and secondly it would
take an exceedingly long period of time , up to twelve years in the case of a
generic drug prototype , just to complete the product development phase . <ICEHK:W2A-011#66:3> Hong Kong simply cannot afford to wait for serendipitous
discoveries to start the production process . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:
475
is very often reduced to a one-shot deal and there is rarely a true meeting
of minds . <ICE-HK:W2A-011#85:3> This is largely an issue of attitude . <ICEHK:W2A-011#86:3> Presumably there is ample room for Hong Kong industrialists
to improve communication with scientists . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2A-011#87:3>
Quite a few entrepreneurial researchers have
already been lured back to
Hong Kong by setting up of bio-technological R &ampersand; D facilities at the
Hong Kong Institute of Biotechnology and the Hong Kong University of Science
and Technology . <ICE-HK:W2A-011#88:3> Together with both local and Chinese
scientists , they will no doubt be able to find a place among the foremost
biotechnological research teams . <
476
> <ICE-HK:W2A-012#5:1> It might sound outlandish to pose such a
question , especially when the Government has pointed out time and again that
the policy decision to intervene as little as possible has been a sound one , and
that the industrial sector has been doing just fine . <ICE-HK:W2A-012#6:1>
Furthermore , some actions indicate that the Government
already has an
industrial strategy . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2A-012#7:1> In a bid to enhance the

competitiveness of Hong Kong industries and boost R&D and human
resource development &obrack; HRD &cbrack; , the Government has established
a multi-million dollar industrial technology centre and a new university . <ICEHK:W2A-012#8:1> Plans for an Industrial Development Council &obrack; IDC
&cbrack; to further what is being done by the Industry Development Board
&obrack; IDB &cbrack; are
already at an advanced stage . <ICE-HK:W2A012#9:1> The Government is also considering setting up a science park and a
third industrial estate for hi-tech development . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2A012#10:1> The establishment of this new infrastructure , however , must be
accompanied , if not preceded by , a specific strategy . <ICE-HK:W2A012#11:1> Calls still abound for better
478
difficulties in carrying out the programmes . <ICE-HK:W2A-012#96:1>
Restrictions on transferring hi-tech from the US to China , for instance , may
hinder growth of local high-tech industries and diffusion of technical changes to
the Pearl River Delta area . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2A-012#97:1> The
Government may also have to refrain from : &obrack; 1 &cbrack; supporting
industries
already partly through the product life cycle; &obrack; e &cbrack;
rationalisation; &obrack; 3 &cbrack; providing export subsidies; &obrack; 4
&cbrack; supporting firms that are incapable of penetrating export markets; and
&obrack; 5 &cbrack; supporting firms that are already competing successfully in

export markets . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2A-012#98:1> That is to say , the

Government may want to support : &obrack; 1 &cbrack; small to

changes to the Pearl River Delta area . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2A012#97:1> The Government may also have to refrain from : &obrack; 1 &cbrack;

markets; and &obrack; 5 &cbrack; supporting firms that are
already
competing successfully in export markets . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2A-012#98:1>
That is to say , the Government may want to support : &obrack; 1 &cbrack; small
to medium-sized local firms; &obrack; 2 &cbrack; firms competing in areas where
the entry barriers are relatively high; &obrack; 3 &cbrack; technologically
progressive firms; &obrack; 4 &cbrack; firms in early phase of development;

<ICE-HK:W2A-013#111:1> The development of new towns and the
building of more hotels have
already been mentioned . <ICE-HK:W2A013#112:1> The expansion of enrolment in tertiary educational institutions is yet
another reason , leading to a fall in the labour force participation for the postteen population . <ICE-HK:W2A-013#113:1> While all of these developments
can be justified in one way or another and I am not arguing against these
developments in general ,
481
one-third of the Legco members are now directly elected , significantly
raising its legitimacy as a representative public forum . <ICE-HK:W2A018#16:1> This is also a giant step for Hong Kong in shredding its colonial past
as far as public policy formulation is concerned . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2A018#17:1> In addition , the composition of the Legco is already close to the first
Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region as stipulated
in the Basic Law . <ICE-HK:W2A-018#18:1> The new Legco should take
advantage of its new composition , its added legitimacy and the recovering SinoBritish relations to open a dialogue with the Chinese authorities on the issue of its
status . </p> <p> <ICE482
only serves to illustrate the Government ' s short-sightedness and poor
diplomatic behavior when faced with a tough negotiator . </p> <p> <ICEHK:W2A-018#89:2> It is high time the Government reviewed its China policy and
demonstrated an ability to mend fences with the Chinese Government . <ICEHK:W2A-018#90:2> This is particularly important now because Hong Kong is
already in the second phase of the transition period. The Government is
not forced to choose between an effective administration and a new airport .
<ICE-HK:W2A-018#91:2> But it is forcing itself into a corner by refusing to
realise that to steer Hong Kong through this transition period , it must change its
colonial style of administering Hong Kong . </p> <

of surgery , we found it important to use electrophysiological monitoring to guide
us through the spinal cord . <ICE-HK:W2A-021#176:2> In recent years , local
neurosurgeons like to have intraoperative monitoring backup in spinal work .
<ICE-HK:W2A-021#177:2> This has incurred additional strain on the already
depleted service of the neurologists and the electrodiagnostic units . <ICE-

cases with the greatest confidence and safety . </p> <bold> <h> <ICEHK:W2A-021#179:2> THE FUTURE </h> </bold> <p> <ICE-HK:W2A021#180:2> Knowing our capability in treating spine pathology , we are trying to

are forced to learn three things simultaneously for every new word: the
pronunciation , the meaning &obrack; and associated usage and grammar
&cbrack; , and the writing system . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2B-006#22:1> British
and American children
already speak the language when they come to spell
the words . <ICE-HK:W2B-006#23:1> Spanish , Vietnamese , Russian , Korean or
Arabic children are familiar with a phonetic writing system of their native
language by the time they have to spell English words . </p> <p> <ICEHK:W2B-006#24:1> Children on the mainland and in Taiwan are taught an
auxiliary phonetic
492
:W2B-006#26:1> Only Hong Kong children must learn English
pronunciation , its meaning and , in the form of dictation , English spelling
without any knowledge of phonetics . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2B-006#27:1>
Chinese dictation is far more humane . <ICE-HK:W2B-006#28:1> There are only
the strokes and the shapes to remember , not pronunciation and meaning , most
of which they
already know . <ICE-HK:W2B-006#29:1> English spelling is
taught the way it is because this is what literacy has meant for thousands of
years in China - to recognise the written word . <ICE-HK:W2B-006#30:1>

mostly foreign , literature on English-language teaching . </p> <p> <ICEHK:W2B-006#39:1> The Education Department is absolved since it has
already given advice to schools to emphasise reading , listening and

The next thing that will follow is to label as democracy what in substance is plain
authoritarianism . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2B-011#120:2> Civil liberties will be
more exposed to curtailment than ever . <ICE-HK:W2B-011#121:2> Already the
process has started . Using a provision in the Public Order Ordinance for the first
time , the police recently arrested activist Leung Kwok-hung and student leader
Christopher Fung Ka-keung at their homes for organising an unlawful assembly ,
an offence punishable by three years in jail . <ICE-HK:W2B-011#122:2> The
offence stemmed from deliberate refusal to give

leaders are denied entry to the mainland , one of them , Lau Chin-shek , has been
given special permission during the past year to visit his ailing mother in
Guangzhou . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2B-013#38:1> As Mr Lu of the Information
Centre rightly points out: &ldquo; There are already many thorns in China ' s
side who live in Hong Kong . <ICE-HK:W2B-013#39:1> Adding one more , Li
Shaomin , makes little difference . &rdquo; </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2B-013#40:1>

the Chinese-language <it> Ming Pao </it> on Thursday , Tsang Yok-sing ,
chairman of the pro-Beijing Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong
Kong , wrote: &ldquo; &obrack; The &cbrack; Li case . . . does not set a
precedent . <ICE-HK:W2B-013#84:2> The central and SAR governments have
already shown flexibility in policies concerning the entry of ` sensitive
persons ' . &rdquo; </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2B-013#85:2> This is because the Dr
Li case could become a dangerous precedent , from the perspective of Beijing ,
blurring the parameters of &ldquo; one country &rdquo; and paving the way for
future challenges to the principle . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2B-013#86:2> In

of the Basic Law which appeared to differ from remarks by the National
People ' s Congress Standing Committee . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2B-

013#105:2> The Government , while no doubt disappointed at the result , had to

emphasise the independence of the Judiciary . <ICE-HK:W2B-013#106:2> But it
also needed to make it clear to Beijing that the SAR had already represented the
central Government ' s interests by asking the court to consult the Standing
Committee prior to giving its ruling &obrack; even though the court decided not
to do so &cbrack; . <ICE-HK:W2B-013#107:2> On the Falun Gong , SAR leaders
toed Beijing ' s line in branding it an evil cult . <ICE-HK:W2B-013#108:2> But

the Chinese Communist Party issued a set of interim guidelines on the
promotion of cadres in both the party and state bureaucracies . Dubbed &ldquo;
Memo Number Five" , the document stipulated that systems under which officials
were required to take the blame and resign needed to be put in place . <ICEHK:W2B-015#22:1> Since then , many local governments have
already
installed schemes to hold office bearers accountable . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2B015#23:1> Section chiefs and department heads in the Longgang district in
Shenzhen , for example , can be removed through internal ballots . Even the
Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has recently implemented a similar system .

504
undermine an orderly programme of family reunion . </p> <p> <ICEHK:W2B-017#14:1> In the past four years , there have been 2,202 reported
cases - 232 involving illegal immigrants - of mainland women delivering babies in
Hong Kong and seeking the right of abode for their offspring and , eventually ,
themselves . <ICE-HK:W2B-017#15:1> The Government cannot encourage this
trend when it is
already struggling to accommodate more than 150 legal
arrivals from the mainland every day within overtaxed social , health care ,
housing and education services . <ICE-HK:W2B-017#16:1> I have been one of
those advocating a radical review of the current immigration policy and the
addition of a new category of investors and skilled workers to generate the

higher education in Hong Kong , issued by the University Grants
Committee , is the latest in a long line of government-commissioned prescriptions
for healing an ailing patient , with one distinct difference: the report ' s prognosis
comes principally from a foreign physician . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2B017#93:3> The jury is still out on the Sutherland report , but it has
already
generated heated debate among pundits and university administrators on a
number of issues , among them the controversial Credit Accumulation and
Transfer System &obrack; CATS &cbrack; . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2B-017#94:3>
CATS permits students to enrol in courses away from their home institutions ,
with the latter being subsidised for each additional student admitted under the
scheme . <ICE-HK:W2

said about the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong
&obrack; DAB &cbrack; - though for the opposite reason that the DAB 's proBeijing position is unlikely to lead it anywhere either . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2B018#47:2> The ultimate goal of a political party is to grab ruling power ,
although it remains arguable that party politics has
already been shunned
in the SAR , with the Government establishing the rule that whoever becomes
Chief Executive must sever party links . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2B-018#48:2>
Under the existing system of selecting a Chief Executive , it seems no Democrat

could ever make it into that office . <ICE-HK:W2B-018#49:2> Neither could a

member of the DAB , such as
507
and give them a wide meaning , it is also possible to read them in a
narrower way . <ICE-HK:W2B-018#104:3> And if we agree that the Basic Law
gives legislators the power to initiate laws , it is logical and reasonable that a
more lenient interpretation should be adopted . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2B018#105:3> In addition to the already-mentioned three &ldquo; forbidden
areas" , Article 74 also requires a legislator to seek the Chief Executive ' s
consent before being able to introduce any bill relating to &ldquo; government
policies" . <ICE-HK:W2B-018#106:3> What criteria the Chief Executive should
adopt to exercise his discretion is anyone ' s guess . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2B018#107:3> Earlier this year , I sought
508
services tax . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2B-019#38:2> So far community
and business reaction to the report is quite negative . <ICE-HK:W2B-019#39:2>
Indeed , a poor economic climate is not conducive to raising taxes or fees , not to
mention introducing a new taxation . <ICE-HK:W2B-019#40:2> Economists also
worry that a tax increase may further dampen an already stagnant economy as
a result of less disposable income being available to consumers . </p> <p>
<ICE-HK:W2B-019#41:2> The politics of taxation is such that at times of
economic booms , people do not generally accept the need for a tax increase and
, when the economy turns bad , they doubt if the society can bear the burden of
more
509
taxes . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2B-019#42:2> In the present gloomy
days , the government owes the public a strong case to justify new taxes . <ICEHK:W2B-019#43:2> It is not good enough to say there is sufficient revenue to
pay for its operating expenses . <ICE-HK:W2B-019#44:2> An immediate
question to ask is whether the government has
already done enough to keep
the public sector lean and efficient . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2B-019#45:2> With
the bulk of recurrent expenditure &obrack; some 70 to 80 per cent among
departments &cbrack; taken up by staff salaries and related costs , and the civil
service predominately &obrack; over 95 per cent &cbrack; on permanent and
pensionable terms , the room for the government to

they feel more pain or are more likely to suffer when a thunderstorm is
imminent . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2B-021#98:3> The drop in barometric
pressure is well-accepted as having a direct effect on tissues in the joints . <ICEHK:W2B-021#99:3> As the pressure in the atmosphere drops , gases and tissue
in the joints expand so the
already crowded space - filled up with inflamed
tissue and fluid - gets even more cramped . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2B021#100:3> Pain nerves tell the brain when things are just too cramped or there
is too much pressure on tissue or bone . <ICE-HK:W2B-021#101:3> So those
pain nerves start firing away when the barometric pressure drops . </p> <p>

</p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2E-005#89:6> The splitting of the roles of chairman of

The Philippines has

Hong Kong ' s status as a major air-cargo hub . </p> <p> <ICEHK:W2E-007#99:6> We have supported a full opening of all air routes since the
wider economy of Hong Kong has little to lose and much to gain from more
competition , lower fares and consolidation as an air cargo hub . <ICE-HK:W2E007#100:6> Singapore has
already gone this route . The counter argument
that this leaves Hong Kong little leverage to force an opening of the US domestic

be . <ICE-HK:W2E-009#47:3> And with the advent of technology , which

television replays to help referees make difficult decisions , a practice already
adopted in rugby and cricket , is not the answer . <ICE-HK:W2E-009#49:3>
What is going to happen after the referee has stopped the game and the replay
shows no foul has been committed ? <ICE-HK:W2E-009#50:3> The game will

. </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2E-009#83:5> As a Special Administrative
Region of China , a socialist country that rejects Western-style democratic
government , Hong Kong ' s advance towards full democracy will always be
subject to the dictates of Beijing . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2E-009#84:5> But the
point that must be borne in mind is that the Basic Law has
already promised
Hong Kong will ultimately have a chief executive and all members of its
legislature elected by universal suffrage . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2E-009#85:5>
So the issue should not be a matter of whether but when Hong Kong will have full
democracy . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2E-009#86:5> Mr Qian has indicated that
Hong Kong ' s political development

and all members of its legislature elected by universal suffrage . </p>
<p> <ICE-HK:W2E-009#110:7> As the <it> South China Morning Post </it>
pointed out in its editorial yesterday , the issue is not whether , but when , Hong
Kong people should be allowed to choose their leaders through the ballot boxes .
</p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2E-009#111:7> Hong Kong
already has a free press
, an independent judiciary , the rule of law , and a largely clean and corruptionfree civil service , i.e . all the elements of a liberal democracy . <ICE-HK:W2E009#112:7> The only missing , and arguably most important , element is an
electoral arrangement that allows the people to choose their favourite candidates
to run the government . </p> <

Qichen expressed the central Government ' s desire for Hong Kong to
proceed slowly towards the goal of universal suffrage , hinting that the SAR
should not go too far ahead of the mainland in terms of political development .
</p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2E-009#114:7> But we would argue that under the policy
of &ldquo; one country , two systems" , Beijing has
already allowed Hong
Kong to operate under a different set of social , political and economic systems ,
namely capitalism . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2E-009#115:7> A liberal democracy
with an electoral system based on universal suffrage is part and parcel of
capitalism , and an essential element of its elaborate mechanism of checks and
balances . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2E-009#116:7> At

:W2E-010#23:2> However , it is the sheer audacity of the executives '
conduct in keeping US&dollar;3.9 billion &obrack; HK&dollar;29.6 billion &cbrack;
off the profit and loss account by transferring it out of operating expenses and
classifying it as capital investment that magnifies the cause for concern . </p>
<p> <ICE-HK:W2E-010#24:2> The excuse from its auditor , the
already
doomed Andersen group , that WorldCom ' s chief financial officer failed to
disclose the transfer , is breathtaking . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2E-010#25:2> The

required close scrutiny to discover the scale of it . <ICE-HK:W2E-010#26:2>

<ICE-HK:W2F-002#47:1> But ... &rdquo; </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2F-002#48:1>
My mind wasn't made up yet , but I saw my dad had
already made the
purchase and was going to leave . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2F-002#49:1> And at
that time , I knew that I had no time to lose or else I wouldn't have my gift .

:W2F-002#51:1> With my head down and body tensed , my nervous voice
asked &ldquo; Dad , can I have my Christmas gift too ? <ICE-HK:W2F-002#52:1>
Can I have a toy as my gift? &rdquo; </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2F-002#53:1>
&ldquo; Why didn't you say it any earlier ? <ICE-HK:W2F-002#54:1> I ' ve made

troublesome ! <ICE-HK:W2F-002#56:1> Leave now , why do you like toys so
much , you are such a big child , huh? &rdquo; </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2F002#57:1> Definitely , I knew these were excuses . <ICE-HK:W2F-002#58:1>
And my dad continued his harsh murmuring while leaving . <ICE-HK:W2F002#59:1> Unintentionally ,
564
:W2F-002#59:1> Unintentionally , I took a look at my dad ' s face . <ICEHK:W2F-002#60:1> It was strict , angry , cold and harsh . <ICE-HK:W2F002#61:1> Why did he face me with such an expression ? <ICE-HK:W2F002#62:1> What was wrong with asking for a Christmas gift ? <ICE-HK:W2F002#63:1> My siblings had got for theirs
already . <ICE-HK:W2F-002#64:1>
His serious look and frightening eyes were blaming me as if I had cheated on an
exam , stolen in shop , been caught by police or even murdered somebody .
<ICE-HK:W2F-002#65:1> &ldquo; Why is that ? <ICE-HK:W2F-002#66:1> Why

school , comforted me when I was sad or brought me to the doctor when I was
sick . <ICE-HK:W2F-002#136:2> Once when I asked her to accompany me to the
doctor ' s , she just replied : &ldquo; Kid , how old are you ? <ICE-HK:W2F002#137:2> Primary three

doctor how you feel and that ' s it ! &rdquo; </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2F002#139:2> Once , I did wish I could have another mom . <ICE-HK:W2F002#140:2> I wished for a mom who could support me in every way , give me

<p> <ICE-HK:W2F-003#78:2> When I get into the building , it is 12:00 am , half
an hour earlier than my duty should begin . <ICE-HK:W2F-003#79:2> The last
guard has already packed his luxuries collected all these years &dash; the
blanket , the folded bed , the old blue magazines , and , the latest horse racing
tips collection . <ICE-HK:W2F-003#80:2> I just can't understand why people
nowadays throw things out so easily . <ICE-HK:W2F-003#81:2> See ? <ICEHK:W2F-003#82:2> My radio , which I got from the 15th floor
567
was a bit more practical &semi; he was hoping that these carvings would
become antiques and that he could make some money out of them . <ICEHK:W2F-006#78:1> Before returning to Hong Kong , my parents told our relatives
to take good care of those carvings which were really quite old &semi; some were
sixty or seventy years old
already . <ICE-HK:W2F-006#79:1> Their ages
have increased by ten years since then . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2F-006#80:1> I
remember that my great-grandfather died just one year before our journey to

<ICE-HK:W2F-007#49:1> Wei blocked my entrance into the kitchen with her

about the rules of forest . <ICE-HK:W2F-014#64:1> He didn't owe her anything .
<ICE-HK:W2F-014#65:1> He left the caterpillar , without saying one more word .
</p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2F-014#66:1> His legs were long . <ICE-HK:W2F014#67:1> After a few steps , he was

yours . <ICE-HK:W2F-014#190:3> Mom said I ' m still too young . &rsquo;
<ICE-HK:W2F-014#191:3> &lsquo; I was
already the mother of two children
at your age . <ICE-HK:W2F-014#192:3> You ' re now a woman . &rsquo; <ICEHK:W2F-014#193:3> Bonnie lowered her head and looked at the earrings .
<ICE-HK:W2F-014#194:3> Her eyes sparkled . <ICE-HK:W2F-014#195:3> She
closed her palm to hold the earrings tight , smiled and looked at me . <ICEHK:W2

like a croaking crow , which spiralled round over my head , keeping me
distracted from my work. </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2F-016#6:1> 'What will the bad
luck be ? ' <ICE-HK:W2F-016#7:1> I kept asking myself and pretended to be
typing on the keyboard . </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2F-016#8:1> 'Hey Sherry .

Everybody left except you and me . <ICE-HK:W2F-016#11:1> What stuff are you
working with ? <ICE-HK:W2F-016#12:1> The promotion for the fireworks display

of black coffee without asking me what I like to drink . <ICE-HK:W2F-016#54:1>
It had already become a ritual that made him feel masculine . <ICE-HK:W2F016#55:1> After the waiter had gone , he resumed the conversation , '
Sweetheart , you know what ? <ICE-HK:W2F-016#56:1> I ' ve been dispatched
to work in the headquarters in New York. ' Nick announced it in an elated tone .
<ICE-HK:W2F-016#57:1> He continued , ' Can you believe it ? <ICE581

:W2F-016#194:1> She could give you advice whenever you felt confused .
<ICE-HK:W2F-016#195:1> But she knew that she would pass away someday , so
she kept it , hoping it would guide you when she was no longer around . <ICEHK:W2F-016#196:1> And now , I give it to you . <ICE-HK:W2F-016#197:1> I '

Stroking its worn-out surface , I sensed my mother ' s self-determination. </p>

could not decide. </p> <p> <ICE-HK:W2F-016#215:1> The next morning , I
woke up with Brownie on my side . <ICE-HK:W2F-016#216:1> It was seven .
<ICE-HK:W2F-016#217:1> I took the early ride to the airport . <ICE-HK:W2F016#218:1> When I arrived the airport was already thronged with people .
<ICE-HK:W2F-016#219:1> 'Sherry! ' I heard a voice of delight yelling out from
the herd of a crowd . <ICE-HK:W2F-016#220:1> It was Nick . <ICE-HK:W2F016#221:1> He ran towards me and held me tight in his arms. </p> <p> <ICEHK:W2F-016#222:1> 'Sweetheart , I ' m afraid I wouldn't see you
