In the evening, I returned to Tim Hortons to eat what was becoming my usual: two hash browns and an oat milk iced coffee. I should, maybe, go back to croissants, sometime. There were Sinospheric customers. There was a robust East Indian customer in a corner. One South Asian vendor commented, "Viktor is still like an embryo!" At home, I listened to a radio app on my tablet: Zouk Hits, Southeast Asia Psychedelics, Baroque, etc. It was the 27th of December of 2024.

As science advances as some describe it, into itself, - by creating technology which is then subsequently of a higher complexity than the ideas it is to help explain - complications often can arise, such as a need for higher education for those who utilise it. This may not be a negative complication in itself, but gives rise to another problem: that this causes education about the subject's fundamentals to be sacrificed for the training in the utilisation of ever changing technology.

隨住科學進步，正如有人所描述嘅咁，進入咗佢本身， - 透過創造技術，而呢啲技術隨後嘅複雜性比佢幫助解釋嘅想法更高 - 經常會出現複雜嘅情況，例如利用呢啲技術嘅人需要接受高等教育。呢個本身可能唔係一個負面嘅併發症，但係會引起另一個問題：呢個會令到有關呢個科目嘅基本知識嘅教育被犧牲，以培訓利用不斷變化嘅技術。

Don't worry, the directions are simple. Just drive two blocks, take a left, drive five blocks, take a right, drive two blocks, take another right, drive three blocks, take a right again, drive one block, take a left, drive three blocks, take a right, drive three blocks, take another right, drive a block, realize that you're exactly where you were before and that all this previous instruction was completely pointless, and drive one more block in that direction. Got that?

“You’ve got to have strong electric to have strong water and wastewater and broadband,” DiLoreto says. “You’ve got to have a strong road system if you're going to feed your ports. You’ve got to have strong ports if you're going to ship your goods and get your goods into this country. And, without the roads to support that, what happens when [goods] wind up on the ports and can’t go anywhere [because] congestion is a problem?”

「你要有強大嘅電力，先可以有強大嘅水、廢水同寬頻，」迪洛雷托話。「如果你要為你嘅港口供水，你就要有強大嘅道路系統。如果你要運送你嘅貨物同埋將你嘅貨物送入呢個國家，你就要有強大嘅港口。而且，如果冇道路去支援呢個情況，當［貨物］喺任何地方都出現唔到問題，噉會發生咩事？」

The 2nd of March of 2022 was somewhat uneventful. I went to the pizzeria in the morning. There were some old folk with white hair. Homebound, I saw on the sidewalk an Oriental boy squatting, wearing orange and yellow. He got up and walked away. Some landscapers were at a yard. There was an orange-vested handsome labourer fiddling with his machine tool by his vehicle. For lunch and dinner at home, it seemed special with steamed tofu and fish on rice.

2022年3月2號，我朝早去咗間薄餅鋪。我朝早去咗間薄餅店。有啲老人家係白頭髮。返屋企，我見到喺人行道上面有個東方男仔蹲緊，着住橙色同黃色嘅衫。佢起身行開。有啲園林設計師喺個院子度。有個橙色背心嘅靚仔勞工喺佢架車旁邊玩緊佢部機床。喺屋企食午餐同晚餐，有蒸豆腐同魚上飯好似好特別。

If you're trying to change your habits, don't just set goals involving changing those habits. Change your identity, your perception of yourself, that led you to adopt those habits. Think about what kind of person would have your desired habits, and tell yourself that you are that kind of person. Then, do things that that kind of person would do, not because you're trying to be someone else, but because you're now trying to be yourself, your new self.

如果你想改變你嘅習慣，唔好淨係設定涉及改變呢啲習慣嘅目標。改變你嘅身份，你對自己嘅認知，令你採用嗰啲習慣，諗吓咩類型嘅人會有你想要嘅習慣，同埋同自己講你係嗰種人。然後，做啲嗰種人會做嘅嘢，唔係因為你嘗試緊做其他人，而係因為你而家嘗試緊做你自己，你嘅新自己。

Japanese like the number 14, which they interpret as meaning "to die alone"; however, the number 24 is not really popular amongst Japanese people. Such numbers are a no-no to Chinese, who think that the number 4 is just unlucky; however, that number is sacred to Japanese. The number 54 is acceptable to speakers of Cantonese, for whom it means "not dead." Chinese prefer the number 3, the "life" or "birth" number. Japanese and Chinese people have different cultures, of course.

日本人鍾意14號，佢哋解釋呢個數字係「獨自死去」嘅意思；但係，24號喺日本人當中唔係好受歡迎。呢啲數字對中國人嚟講係唔可以嘅，因為佢哋覺得4呢個數字只係唔好彩；54呢個數字對講粵語嘅香港人嚟講係可以接受嘅，對講粵語嘅香港人嚟講，呢個數字嘅意思係「未死」。當然，日本人、香港人同中國人嘅文化唔同。

Can I have a ticket? "Yes, you can. In fact I'd recommend this one." "But I mean: can I buy a ticket?" "I'm surprised you're asking me that question. How do I know if you can buy a ticket? It depends on what's in your wallet." "Come on, you know – I'd like to buy a ticket." "And I can sell a ticket." "What a stroke of luck! So give me a ticket, please!" "There you go." "Finally!"

In the late 1980s and in the 1990s, a couple of my favourite singers were Enya and Tracy Chapman. With headphones and a disc player, I listened to their music at my software workplace, an old brick building, the windows showing the harbour and railroad tracks that went beside the quaint Gastown district of the city of Vancouver, BC. I wore then a heavy dark-blue winter jacket with shoulder straps; it made me look like a student soldier from the 19th century.

喺八十年代末同九十年代，我最鍾意嘅一兩個歌手係恩雅同特雷西查普曼。我帶住耳機同碟機，喺我嘅軟件工作場所聽佢哋嘅音樂，呢個係一座舊嘅磚砌建築物，窗戶顯示住喺卑詩省溫哥華市古怪嘅加斯敦區旁邊嘅港口同鐵路軌道。當時我着咗件重嘅深藍色冬裝，有肩帶；令我好似19世紀嘅學生兵噉。

In the raining morning of the 26th of March of 2022, I ate a cheese pizza slice and drank iced diet cola at the pizzeria. On the big screen with sound off was a show about cheetahs in a savannah. In the grey afternoon, I was there again to eat a butter chicken slice and drink a cold diet cola. On the big screen was the rerun of the cheetah show. Homebound, I saw my Oriental lady neighbour pressure washing her driveway.

喺2022年3月26號嘅落雨朝早，我喺披薩店食咗一片芝士薄餅，飲咗冰凍嘅節食可樂。喺大銀幕上面，有個關於大草原上嘅獵豹嘅節目。喺灰色嘅下晝，我又喺嗰度食咗個牛油雞片同飲咗杯凍嘅減肥可樂。喺大銀幕上面係獵豹節目嘅重播，我見到我個東方女士鄰居壓力大噉洗緊佢條車道。

My neighbours, the Wongs, who are multiracial from Fiji, seem intimidated by, and simultaneously jealous of, Latinate culture. Once a British colony, Fiji was never a "donkey" as was my homeland, the Philippines. I suspect that many Anglophones with less than a university education still squirm at long acrolectal Greco-Latin words in English, and they try to settle in their basilectal Anglo-Saxon speech. Tangentially, I much admire French-influenced paradises like Tahiti and Mayotte. Maybe, the Wongs should learn Dutch.

我嘅鄰居，阿黃，佢哋係嚟自斐濟嘅多種族，佢哋似乎對拉丁文化感到恐懼，同時亦都妒忌，斐濟曾經係英國嘅殖民地，從來都唔係我嘅祖國菲律賓「驢」，我懷疑好多未受過大學教育嘅英語人士仍然會試圖用佢哋嘅英文語言，而佢哋嘅語言亦都係粗略嘅。我好佩服大溪地同馬約特呢啲受法國影響嘅天堂。可能，阿黃應該學荷蘭文。

It is the 5th of June of 2013. Esperanto is like daikon, a large, elongated, white radish, although it was its creator Dr. L.L. Zamenhof who assigned the green colour to this language. Nowadays, I concentrate more on Lojban because it has a non-Eurocentric perspective, although at times its sound reminds me of Greek somewhat. It is like the baklava pastry, but purple. Interlingua is in the back of my mind always. It is like some kind of coffee, but bluish.

今日係2013年6月5號。世界語就好似大根噉，一種大嘅、細長嘅白蘿蔔，雖然係佢嘅創造者 L.L. Zamenhof 博士將綠色指定畀呢種語言。今時今日，我更加專注喺 Lojban ，因為佢有個非以歐洲為中心嘅角度，雖然有時佢嘅聲音令我有啲諗起希臘文，但係紫色係我腦海入面嘅。

I would have thee to understand this, and would tell thee before all that sit here, and before the ancients of my people. If thou wilt take possession of it by the right of kindred: buy it, and possess it: but if it please thee not, tell me so, that I may know what I have to do. For there is no near kinsman besides thee, who art first, and me, who am second. But he answered: I will buy the field.

Words such as "azul," "tanemmirt," and "aselmad" are modern Berber. They come from various Berber dialects and are not known in the Kabyle dialect. In fact, Kabyle uses words such as "ahla" for "hello," "ṣaḥḥa" for "thank you," and "ccix" for "teacher," and all these words are Arabic loanwords that are used and understood from Mauritania to the farthest reaches of Saudi Arabia. Denying the existence of the Berber language and modern Berber is completely useless and it is usually politically motivated.

「 azul 」、「 tanemmirt 」同「 aselmad 」呢啲字係現代嘅柏柏爾人，佢哋嚟自唔同嘅柏柏爾方言，喺卡比爾方言入面唔識由毛里塔尼亞到沙特阿拉伯最遠嘅地方，否認柏柏爾語言同現代柏柏爾語言嘅存在係完全冇用嘅，而且通常係有政治動機。事實上，卡比爾用「 ahla 」嚟表示「你好」、「 ṣaḥḥa 」嚟表示「多謝」、「 ccix 」嚟表示「老師」呢啲字，而所有呢啲字都係阿拉伯文嘅借詞，由毛里塔尼亞到沙特阿拉伯最遠嘅地方都用到同理解。
