    Ups n Downs

    it's been so stimulating in past month.. 
    we just have had the first "3 generations" family trip to TsingDao, six ppl with 7 ppl van.
    the trip was great, full of laughter and fun...  however on the day the train clashed, we were so close .... 
    we just learned the news at the dinner while the local friends said they saw it in the afternoon and
    were discussing about the rumors that it was the America ordered Tibetan to do this.... 
    It's really uncomfortable to heard the news....
    anyway, we still managed to complete our wonderful trip and head back to HK..
    however we even not yet sorted out the photos we took on the trip, another heart-breaking news was released.. .. 5.12
    as I know most of my friends were just can't help that tears running out every night when they saw the sad reports..
    and then one of colleague's father was death suddenly that reminds me of my father's death several years ago....
     
    so last month, I was soo happy and was sooo sad... Life is full of ups and downs...
    The Buddism is very difficult to achieve... at least to myself...  such an ordinary little life in this big big world.
     
    wipe off the tears, work hard, give more support to the ppl around me, paid the tax, ....   and looking forward to a brighter future is the best I can do...

    May Peace be with our Country

    There's been difficult times for our Mother land this few month... 
    幸得天的blessing, the Snowstorm didn't get much worse.. and with the effort with our true hearted leaders, Mr. Wen and Mr. Wu...
    The effect was reduced and it's glad that all of us are sooo generous to give a helping hand to our country!
    these days, a more political issue in Tibet was raised, our country was formed by a lot of different races was an old fact!
    with generations and globalization, I think it will resolved one day... 
    What make us so disppointed was that we saw the "Violent Monks" on street!
    Anyone believe in Buddism should praise and act Peace!
    Even the citizens there were not yet quite civilized they still should guard "Peace"...
    I was used to respect those monks in Tibet.... however after all these.... I begins to wonder whether it's because Buddism
    was an too old that some of the believes were twisted nowadays?  or...
    Are innocent citizens being misled by their leader? and are their being used by the "World-known thief- USA"?!
    Peace is so important to us! It's nothing better than having our own republic to growth strong!
    without dig deep into the Tibet issues before and was used to feel sympathic for the monks and Tibetans however after this event....
    some questions pops up in mind...
    Wish that we can get over with all these!
    Whatever the religions is, whatever the race is, the most important thing is...  resolve everything in PEACE!
    No more violence. Please!

    Long time no see.... Movies

    As being damn busy last year, missed lots of good films...
    So this time just lucky enough to catch up with the HKIFF!
    watched the first picked movie this morning, it's Appleseed: EX Machina
    BRAVO! sooooo GOOOD, especially you feel so close that you find actions shot in the way you always realized it's a film from John Woo..
    that's what we call...."signature"! This animation is really really exceeded my expectation!
    Coool  however it included too many big meanings that still need some digestion however in terms of entertaining, it's already got my Full marks!

    let me rest in peace..

    soooo unhappy last week...
    I was expressed clearly that I won't work too late and no Overnight work in this month for my professional exam when I join this team 4 months ago..
    their respond is positive. so I stay with them and work hard for months...
    but last week my senior force me to work late again... I decided to leave on 9pm last Wednesday night, my senior come to give me a "black face".
    on the next day all seniors come to push me and force me to work until everything is done!
    then I was worked overnight on thursday night until friday noon!
    I was sooooo unhappy! I'm not the leader in this team and project, I have gave advice to the seniors that it will not work if they do it in this way...
    then why I'm the one to suffer for their wrong decisions and bad management?!
    even today I was on my annual leave, they still calling me for other works...
    I was sooooo  flustrated!
    Life is not all about work!
    Today I have think a lot,... 
    I should stop, take a rest, take a well thought of what I am  doing now...
     what do I want? what should I do?....

    Murphy's Law

    So so ture....

    Murphy's Law

    It tells the real world...

    • A slice of buttered bread, when dropped, will always land butter-side down.
    • When you need an item that is in a heap, it will always be the one at the bottom.
    • Buses take ages to arrive, but when they do they always arrive in sets of three.  There actually is a logical explanation for this: the first bus is slowed down because of the time needed to let passengers get on and off. The subsequent buses are (typically) not allowed to pass the first bus, so you tend to end up with a full bus followed by a line of empty ones.
    • The day you forget your umbrella, it pours with rain.
    • When graphing, the graph paper is always one square too small for the perfect scale
    • When caught in a traffic jam, the lane that you are in will always be the slowest to move. This also has a logical explanation. In general, the lane with the fewest cars in it is most likely to move the fastest. Therefore, since you're statistically more likely to be one of the members of the lane with the most cars, your lane will more often than not be the slow one.
    • Nothing is as easy as it looks.
    • Everything takes longer than you think. Or, everything takes twice as long as it should; excepting that which appears easy, taking three times as long.
    • Anything that can go wrong will go wrong, and at the worst possible time.
    • If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong.
    • If something simply cannot go wrong, it will anyway.
    • If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop.
    • Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.
    • If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
    • Nature always sides with the hidden flaw.
    • It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.
    • Whenever you set out to do something, something else must be done first.
    • Every solution breeds new problems.
    • Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
    • Junk will grow to fill the available cupboard space.
    • All small objects of value will disappear when set down.
    • If you make it idiot-proof, someone will make a better idiot.
    • When you put your pants on without looking — they will always be on backwards.
    • Good/Fast/Cheap - If you need something good fast, it won't be cheap. If you need something cheap fast, it won't be good. If you need something good cheap, it won't be fast.

    有点儿... 那个..

    Work load have been dramatically reduced in the last 2 weeks...
    so the recent life flooded with gatherings, movies, exhibitions...
    feel quit comfortable ^^
     
    however new assignments were given, one is quite easy... well... I thought...
    the other one is "confidential" again.....  I become pretty reluntant to do any "high confidential/ controversial" projects..
    have to be very careful. so I have to avoid talking about my works...
    I'm glad that I'm always be "trusted" but keeping secret is such an extra burden to me....
    especially when the objectives seems deviate from my belief....
    conflicts...  confuse...
     
    haven't talk about love for long long time.
    recently there're 3 gentlemen expressed interest to me.... however feeling kind of...  just hesitate..
    I think I live quite well recently... well, generally speaking..
    starting a new relationship may endanger my quality of life...

    我去看凤凰了

    经过了三个月非人的工作, 我以"逃"的速度飞了去凤凰.
    很高兴, 我还是来了, 只是没有了Z的陪伴...
    一直都很想去看看,
    想看看从文的边城, 也想看看永玉的故乡.
     
    离开了工作的地方, 才有时间想想别的事.... 
    例如发一吓白日梦...
    这几个月, 发生的事也很多. 只能"明明白白我的心"...
    只能体会... 
     
    话说远了. 此行还去了张家界, 感觉很舒畅.
    ...活着真好.
    另外很久没blogging了, 想不到还有人不停来访. 很意外哩!
    可是一回来, 又得忙个不知所措, 才短短的一个来月已有两个同事quit了...
    扫兴的话就不多说了.
    有空的话我还是会回来发发牢骚的..

    談論主題 不要錯過半個世界

     

    引述

    不要錯過半個世界
    (  文章分享 ) ● 常常很驚訝地發現,許多人根本沒有異性朋友。這個世界上,不是男人女人各佔一半嗎?為什麼許多人卻只活在半個世界上?為了這樣一個令人扼腕的遺憾,在前兩年曾經寫過一篇文章,談到一位名作家在過半百之後,想到年輕時一起讀書、玩樂的女同學中,不乏私心傾慕,卻礙於膽怯未能深交者,如今回顧半生,幾乎沒有可以開懷暢談的女性朋友。他感慨之於,寫下一句話:『我...後悔錯過了半個世界。』
     
    文章刊出後,引起不少迴響,當時有一部上映中的外國影片還以『不要錯過半個世界』為號召,大做廣告。仔細反省自己的文章,並無驚人之語。那麼這許多迴響,只能證明一個簡單的道理:有太多人和那位名作家一樣,驀然警覺,已經錯過了半個世界。朋友,人人都需要。只要談到異性朋友,卻不免令人躊躇不前。傳統的教育,把性別分得太清楚,男生和女生不是雞和兔子,不會放在同一個籠子裡。就這樣,孩子長大成人之後,始終未能以平常心來看待令半個世界。也因此,很可惜地,被禁足在自己畫的粉筆圈裡,未能踏出傳統的禁忌。
     
    單身也好,結婚也好,一般人都很少有結交異性朋友的機會,更罔論透過異性,來了解更廣闊的天地。結交異性朋友,在人類已經邁入電腦時代的今天,仍然顯得困難重重。而能否突破此一障礙,關係到許多人一生的幸福快樂。單身的人尤其應該朝這一方面多多努力。一個人還沒有固定男女朋友的時候,對異性往往抱著一時偏差的態度。最常見的心態是,『他接近我是不是有什麼目的』、『我只想認識可以結婚的對象』、『對方的條件如何』。這種開門見山選擇對象的功利心理,使許多人徒然錯失按部就班認識異性的良好機會。
     
    交往的對象太少,幾乎沒有選擇比較的可能,這是過份功利的人最大的悲哀。記得學生時代,班上有一些活躍的女生,穿梭各種活動之中,結識了不少男性朋友,她們稱這種作法是『養魚政策』。把魚養在水池裡,養得愈多,觀察得愈久,愈容易找到適合自己的大魚。養魚政策,聽起來好像很現實,不過仔細尋思,卻也有它微妙的道理。朋友交得愈多,觀察得愈久,愈容易找到與自己氣味相投的人,異性朋友、同性朋友莫不如此。一個人如果沒有從年輕時,即養成結交異性朋友的習慣,那麼很可能在一輩子當中,錯過無數值得結識的至交好友,這樣的人生待到回顧時,不免遺下『此情可待成追憶,只是當時已惘然』的憾恨。

    異性朋友,有的年輕,有的年長,有的爽朗,有的拘謹,這些差異並不重要,重要的是我們以平常心與他們來往藉著他們了解男人與女人的不同,也藉著他們探索人與人共通的契合。 單身的人不妨適度調整自己的心態,不刻意逃避異性,也不要從功利的角度審判對方,讓彼此在平凡人的無心交往中,打開另一扇大門,欣賞另一片美麗風景。也許會發現,放下自己的孤僻、偏見與警戒,另一性居然可以做最好的朋友。 ^^*

    談論主題 Give me a hug

     

    引述

    Give me a hug

    在澳州雪梨鬧區街頭提供陌生人免費擁抱,而引人矚目的男子Juan Mann,近日來在網路上爆紅之後也首度開金口,闡述他這種行為的內涵。
     
    “Free Hugs”的活動傳達一種“來自陌生的關懷”。Mann說,這是讓大家笑容綻開的一種方式,“因為只要有一個人跟我擁抱,就會帶動從旁經過的五個路人臉上的微笑”。想想每天都有機會遇見許多陌生的臉孔,大家目光接觸時大多都帶著警覺,排斥,甚至敵意,大多時候我們是為了免於傷害,所以選擇保持距離,我想更大力,更誠摯的擁抱,得到的溫暖和理解應該遠多於疏遠帶來的誤解和傷害的。
     
    通常,Mann在街頭攬客時,還會高舉一張寫著「FREE HUGS 」的牌子,向路人表明自己用意,他雖然在街頭任意跟人擁抱,卻也一直堅持幾個原則:不透露真實名字、不給電話號碼、也不藉此跟人約會或發生任何關係。
     
    Juan Mann在YouTube上的擁抱影片,9月22日張貼,目前累積瀏覽人次已經超過5百萬,留言也達一萬兩千則,我相信大家對於人性還是有期待的,期待更溫暖更信任彼此的可能。這影片我怎麼看都看不膩,每次看每次感動。
      
    I WANT A HUG TOO!!!下次看到我要給我抱一下喔,就當是拯救我吧。

    天意?

    上个月resign, 老板唔批, 几经周折老板终归收了信.
    点知last day, my senior 有急事飞咗番英国...
    为了"义气"... 我一口应承顶住...
     
    是性格做成命运, 还是天意呢?
