一切還好

很久沒有寫，
有點兒生疏。
朋友們都各奔前程，各有各忙。
最親近的接觸，應該就是facebook newsfeed。
剛看完林海峰的 Talkshow,印象最深刻的就是他一語驚醒夢中人：
到底，從什麼時候，會殷勤打電話給你的，都是連一面之緣都沒的陌生人？最頻繁的溝通竟然update Facebook status?

重新去定位溝通的意義，尋找生存的根據，才能發現快樂的根源吧。
心中有很多想法，卻往往沒有勇氣去為自己的情感，信念，抱負去背起責任，承擔，反而時間都拿來丟到生活的庸碌。

努力掌握中。

下次再見

找到天使了

Summerlong - Kathleen Edwards

明天的記憶 - 孫燕姿

在我最深處 有過你祝福
有花瓣的飛舞 淚眼的凝固
輕撫 一路上成長的紋路
再默讀 那些愛的倉促
猶疑的腳步 堅持的酸楚
可是我很清楚 別在乎付出
潛伏 內心最柔軟的感觸
回憶的泥土 讓生命有厚度
讓明天把今天給記住 不是因為孤獨
因為我們追求的專注 不管它起起伏伏
讓今天把明天變特殊 未必因為幸福
因為我們努力不服輸 從來不曾退出

回頭不可數 被誤解的路
現在我弄清楚 那讓我成熟
潛伏 內心最柔軟的感觸
長成了大樹 讓生命有高度
讓明天把今天給記住 不是因為孤獨
因為我們追求的專注 不管它起起伏伏
讓今天把明天變特殊 未必因為幸福
因為我們努力不服輸 儘管失誤
讓明天的記憶不模糊 不是因為孤獨
因為我們執著的態度 不管它起起伏伏
讓今天把明天變特殊 未必因為滿足
因為我們過得不含糊 從來不曾退出

The conversation between Ms J and I

Work and love.

We came to the same conclusion.

It is time to MOVE ON when the situation goes...

1. Decent benefit and environment, yet the career prospect is vague and almost close to non-existant. ( You know there are people "waiting in line" to get promoted)

2. There is no apparent significance with/without you being in the company in terms of realistic operation to spiritual connection. (especially to the point that they will keep you happily for now, but if you attempt to ask for more, the company would rather give up on you.)

So now, what you have to do is...

1. Accept the fact that sadly, you do not have special/unique value to your company and can be replaced with minimal effort.

2. Launch yourself in an environment where you are valued. Yes, it is risky. But come on...why would you want to hold a piece of sugar-coated shit when you can just free and relax your hands?

Then there comes the dilemma,

there is always one piece in your heart,

making you to hope that the current situation is not as bad as you think,

what is bad is your perception.

Yeah. Basically it is like Inception the movie...wait a minute, did I get to a conclusion really?

Egg Tart*

9 days

before I step out from probably one of the most comfortable work in Hong Kong

32

32 days

before new challenge

But I am not worried,

because it is like rewinding the old school time,

where we are in the same classroom,

lunching together,

walking on the same path going home like the good old times.

You are the egg tart, always gives warmth to my heart.

The world changes you, or you change the world?

In reality,
there are frustrations, disappointment, unfairness.
The inhaman long hours of work,
the complicated love affairs,
the unanticipated hit of flu/cold after a night of sleep,
the fatal disaster in places like Japan, etc etc etc.
None of these can be the motivations of life.
They make us question, why the hell are we dealing with these?

Stay Strong.
Like the Japanese after 311 earthquake, tsunami and the on-going nuclear crisis.

A 60-year-old couple was rescued after 3 days and he came out saying "no problem, I've experienced the Chile Tsunami, let's just rebuild everything again together"

Like I said,
it is all about attitude.
To persist, to believe, to change.

First of all,
you have to accept the cold, hard fact of life ---Nothing is fair.
Laws are product of human vanity to try to acheieve fairness.
Human maneuver appears feeble in the power of nature.

However,
external envioronment is not a reason, or an excuse, to give up our beliefs and goals and what we cherish.
We always should attempt to make changes.
It is the persistant and powerful attempt that matters, not the end-results.
In the process, you will achieve something, even if that is not what you have anticipated.

"Stay hungry, don't settle." A wise advice from Steve Jobs.

Do not get trapped by the frame set on you.
Be the one in charge of your point of perspective.
You are the framemaker.

Word of the day - INFINITE loop

An infinite loop is a sequence of instructions in a computer program which loops endlessly, either due to the loop having no terminating condition, having one that can never be met, or one that causes the loop to start over.

You sense it. The danger. But your body has not even the smallest strength to pull yourself away. You are hoping that your intuition goes wrong for one in million times. It is like those horrible dreams that you fall into the endless dark hole. You know you are doomed to fall in any second, yet this one cell in your brain is telling you to see if there is another route ahead.

Attitude

A while ago when I went to the Four Seasons cafeteria for lunch,

I came across this quote when reluctantly waiting in a line,

It is seemingly inspiring and shines some lights on the doubts and hesitations in my life.

“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes."

-- Charles R. Swindoll

I never know who this Charles R. Swindoll is,

but my belief in importance of attitudes is fully reinforced in his words.

Everyday,

squashing into the packed MTR compartment with half-closed eyes,

lining up for take-away sandwiches and salads outside of Citysuper,

absent-mindedly staring at the lights along coasts of Victoria Harbor on the star ferry,

the routine and repetition slowly drives me numb to the revolving world.

It is crucial to look forward and beyond. While being thankful to the daily blessings, we have to constantly rethink and remind ourselves that we shape our own lives, and not let the world lead us.

Business Plan 4 - Checking in everywhere in anytime..keee*

So I was having dinner with two old friends the other day,

we started to dicuss the recent new function in facebook -- CHECK IN!

Everyone is checking in all over now.

You can check in to your favourite bookstore, boutique, restaurant, you name it..

Hmmm.. Sounds fun!..But wait a minute...

Then people start thinking a little bit deeper...

What if I am up to something, and my bf/gf/mom/dad forces me to check in immediately??

So should I just give up my iphone for that!?

Don't be silly..

So my business plan provides a creephole for your secrets.

1. You can log in to facebook with ANY iphones, it is not exclusive on your own iphone.

2. You don't have to be at the EXACT place. The iphone ( yours or anyone's logged in your account)

has not be CLOSE enough to the stated place.

Joining my service, you can check in at anywhere in Hong Kong on your command.

I will have a network of buddies, that "hea" around all spots, and I will pay by commission to them whenever the fulfill your command, accordingly. Since most likely you will be on the phone, I will take your command in the form of iphone application.

You can choose to pay an unlimited pass monthly, or one time pass (which of course in a much higher cost).

As my business grows, I might extend the service network into a global basis.

Ha. ha. ha.

白天不懂夜的黑

我們之間沒有延伸的關係
沒有相互佔有的權利
只在黎明混著夜色時
才有淺淺重疊的片刻

白天和黑夜 只交替沒交換
無法想像對方的世界
我們仍堅持 各自等在原地
把彼此站成兩個世界

你永遠不懂我傷悲 像白天不懂夜的黑
像永恆燃燒的太陽 不懂那月亮的盈缺
你永遠不懂我傷悲 像白天不懂夜的黑
不懂那星星為何會墜跌

不懂我傷悲 就好像白天不懂夜的黑

Linda Scott - I've Told Every Little Star

Linda Scott - I've Told Every Little Star

Why haven't I told you

Oh babe
I've told every little star
Just how sweet I think you are
Why haven't I told you

I've told ripples in a brook
Made my heart an open book
Why haven't I told you

Friends ask me am I in love
I always answer yes
Might as well confess
If the answer's yes

Maybe you may love me too
Oh my darling if you do

Why haven't you told me

A DICTATOR of Taste

So I was watching Gossip Girl the other day,
and Blair was so depressed when Dan told her that "You are the dictator of taste!"
"Yes, that's right," she smiled, then off to chase her dream again.

Everyone should be a DICTATOR of SOMETHING.
With that something, you vision the future, create the best, and defeat the rest with absolute confidence. You do not have to be the best at it, nor get the deepest knowledge about it, nor own the most fabulous experience with it. The SOMETHING is what you care and hold a strict standard or threshold with. IT HAS to be done in your way. The standard can be high/low, bizarre/classic, crazy/logical.

It is like the unstoppable feeling of tapping on someone's shoulder and tell him/her that her blouse's label is flipped out and make them fix it otherwise you will help turning the label in for him/her.
It is like the tickling feeling on your finger tips of restoring the piece of chocolate left on the border of a plate to join the other pieces lining up peacefully at the centre of the plate in a buffet.
It is like the words almost slipping out of your mouth when you hear some wrong concepts or stupid doubts in random conversations overheard in a bus or MTR.

This something also drives your passion because it triggers your irrational acts,
stimulates your motivation because it has to be YOUR way and no tolerance in slight deviation or alternative.

It can be food, car, books, architecture, fashion.... you name it.

I think I found mine, when I enjoyed my whole hour reading and discussing the difference between cable-stayed and cable-suspension bridges.

緣份

地球的人口接近七十億，兩個人能在茫茫人海裡相遇，怎可能不是「緣」？但關係能否持續下去，卻是「份」，並不是單方面的努力所能維繫。
我重視「份」多過「緣」。「份」體現了雙方的共同付出，經得起時間考驗。至於「緣」，不過是一場相遇而已。相遇又如何？相遇大曬嗎？相遇了就等於相愛一生？你以為百年難得一見的「相遇」，其實每秒鐘在地球上可能發生七萬幾次，沒有什麼大不了。真正大不了的，是相遇以後，相愛一生。

From Daisy Wong [ http://www.cosmopolitan.com.hk/blog/826/blog-post/love-sex/3069]

Everyone fancies that magic moment, to fall in love. Falling in love takes only seconds. The excitement of getting to know someone new, reveal the mysterious thoughts, the tickling feeling of stomach and the pounding sound of heart beats.

But a relationship is so much more than that, 份 is what we can build on through care and tolerance and trust, yet 份 is always something that we Neglected and Denied when a relationship ends.

If 緣 is a gift from god, then 份 is the part that shows the power of love, the gift that you handmade for your love.

But disagreeing with Daisy (which seldom happens...), I think 緣 and 份 are important. Because, after all, with out 緣, you won't even have a chance to start developing 份.

Like everything else in your life, when God gives you the present, you would still have to cherish and make a good use of it to appreciate.

My 23rd Birthday

Thankful,

is the one thing I feel in January, the first month of 2011,
the start of new journey, the rejuvenated energy to ambitious goals.


All are made significant, and special because of you, my family and friends.
You are the guidance, support and belief.
With you, I am brave enough to move forward to the unknowns, as I know I always have you to fall back on.
With you, I see and believe in the goodness in myself.
With you, I learn how to love and care.
And lastly, I will take the chance to be a bit more cheesy in my birthday,
to thank god. I am truthly greatful to be closer to You than I ever have in my life.



Be a better self everyday, Chan Wing.
