Turbo Pascal for Windows

Posted on by

A day in year 1995, somehow, I needed to take a ferry to Hong Kong Island. Before that, I went to the Star Computer Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui. I found a box of Turbo Pascal for Windows. More likely, I went there when I came back from Hong Kong Island.

More more likely, I went there and saw the box before going to Hong Kong Island; and then went there again to buy it when I was back.

I needed that for doing my programming homework. It cost me 299 HKD.

Throughout that school year, I did almost every exercise in my programming textbook, at the cost of my Additional Mathematics and Biology time. However, for my programming projects, I still needed to test them under Microsoft Pascal, because it was what my school computers ran.

Even during moving house in 2019, I was still not willing to throw this box away.

搜神記 3 | Extraordinary, 3.2

.

Do not ask your children to strive for extraordinary lives. Such striving may seem admirable, but it is the way of foolishness. Help them instead to find the wonder and the marvel of an ordinary life. Show them the joy of tasting tomatoes, apples and pears. Show them how to cry when pets and people die. Show them the infinite pleasure in the touch of a hand. And make the ordinary come alive for them. The extraordinary will take care of itself.

只要敢遠飛  亦能自創我的煙花紀
神是我自己  若然目光高過聚散分離
奉承你  因往日雙眼無珠不停放大你

想快樂不靠神跡  才懂創世紀
