Life is really unpredictable...
Umm... life is really unpredictable...you'll never know what you will get.
I have been back almost 4 months.. and things seemed to have run smoothly.... I mean.. nothing dramatic happened to me.
Got a job I wanted, got 'promoted' to another position, 3 weeks after I started the new job. And now.... here I am... sort of wondering why God showed me this path... sort of wondering why I am walking down the road I chose.
But don't get me wrong, I am not regretting at all. It's just ... I don't understand why!
May be... it is part of God's master plan for me.

One week gone
Just after one week of work orientation, I begin to wonder what sort of things I will be doing? I am sort of excited, yet worried about if I am capable of doing it well.
Oh well... what will be, will be, let it be...
Oh well... what will be, will be, let it be...

Gotta work
Well... finally got a phone call from the human resources manager on Friday, offered the position I have always wanted to try... Clinical Research Associate. Getting this job seems so easy, everything seem going so fast!! And again, I can't believe my luck.
I have actually applied/sent my application to this company in the beginning of this year, I was just going to try if there were any positions available, and I end up having this HR manager telling me to keep in touch with her to find out if there are any upcoming positions available, and here I am... after going to interviews just 1 or 2 weeks coming back from UK, I am offered this position.
Sometimes, I wonder if God is being nice to me, or has my prayer worked? Or is everything already being set-up by our creator, I just need to follow the signs and do what I am suppose to do??
Anyway, I am glad that I have this opportunity to experience things I have always wanted to do.

Gathering
It was a holiday yesterday, and I finally managed to meet my high school friends for afternoon tea. We had a really nice time, good quality time to talk about things... and of course, I am delighted to hear that a good friend of mine, Margaux, is getting engaged & getting married 'hopefully' next year.
That makes me wonder, what is the purpose of life?? Is it to achieve things you want to achieve? To search for love, and be able to hold on to it? To have children and continue life ever after?
Different people seem to have different goals, I am happy for those who is achieving or have already achieved what they are looking for.

Don't let your dream die
Hold on to your dream
Hold on to your promise
When your world seems to be falling apart
There's always a beam of light in the end.
Never give up.
Don't let your dream die

Song for a friend of mine
Over the rainbow by Arlen-Harburg
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
...there's always something over the rainbow
... and in an Irish saying...
there's always a golden pot in the end of the rainbow....
...there's always hope!

Perfection??
I noticed that I have been searching for perfection.
Looking for the best, flawless things...
Am I too stubborn? Am I being difficult? Am I being unrealistic?
...I am just looking for something that makes me feel better, make me feel complete as a person

Lucky for me
I have been back for two weeks now. And I have to consider myself as lucky...
Lucky to have so many supportive friends and family.
Lucky to have a nice and sweet partner helping me to adjust to the life in Hong Kong.
Lucky that I don't really have to worry about day-to-day things.
Lucky to have a couple of chances to go for job interviews.
I am greatful... and I really appreciate the things I have at the moment.

Well... I am back. I have been waiting for a past 6 months for this moment and I am really glad that I am home.
I just wish I could do more to help to ease the workload of getting things ready for this apartment.

It is my last 2-3 days in the UK. And I am now in London. Can't think of anything to do in London though. I guess I will just relax a bit and do some window shopping.
It is a luxury!!

You better take care of yourself... I am banning you from shopping for the apartment. You need to wait for me to come back, and I want you to rest, eat more & sleep more!!

Enneagram
你是個很冷靜的人，總想跟身邊的人和事保持一段距離，也不會讓情緒輕易表露。很多時，你都會先做旁觀者，後才可投入參與。另外，你也需要充分的私人空間和高度的私隱，否則你會覺得很焦慮，不安定！你也很有機會成為專家，例如電腦啦，漫畫啦，時裝啦，因為你對知識是非常熱愛的！
好辨、抽離思想型的人常常觀察身邊的事，卻很少參與，所以感情投入也很少。還有，他們好辨，很執著，卻少有「辨輸」的空間和量度。對知識的執著固然重要，但經驗生活中所得的體會也非常可貴，希望你們取得平衡，得到最多！
心情highhigh時理智型能夠以超乎尋常的洞察力去觀察每一件事情，但他們的洞察力並不著力放於人際關係上，反之他們喜愛學習、研究新事物，能專注於事物上，卻同時忽略了人際關係的處理。
情緒downdown時無疑，理智型喜歡研究、愛學問、並愛將收集得到的經驗和資料建構成理論。但他們可能會太固執於自己的觀點上，當有不同意的意見時，便很容易激發好辨的潛能，對別人冷嘲熱諷、認為別人太笨，無法認識真理，對大家的關係造成傷害。
朋友看你是「好有腦」、「幾固執」、「幾cool下」、「成日都唔理人」
提升有時努力努力走向「八仔」，有大將之風，勇於冒險，而會將構思付諸實行。
後退有時注意注意若他們走向「七仔」，就變得不切實際，只會言過其實，孤芳自賞，口若懸河地扮專家。

Sick
Got a call from Dad today while I was at work... it's funny that he couldn't recognise my voice, but yet, he asked to speak to me in chinese (weird... if that person isn't me, then he should really speak English, right?)
Anyway, he told me off for not seeing a doctor...poor me.

Thank you

Advertisement - AIDS awareness
I kind of like looking at advertisement... I think it is a genius piece of work....
And I found this one online... about HIV....
"WOULD YOU PICK A PIECE OF MEAT OFF THE STREET & STICK IT IN YOUR MOUTH?
THINK AGAIN?
DIDN'T THINK YOU WOULD. HIV ISN'T THE ONLY TO WORRY ABOUT. YOU CAN GET INFECTED WITH GONORRHEA & SYPHILIS FROM UNPROTECTED ORAL SEX.
PLAY SAFE, WEAR A CONDOM"... THIS ADVERTISEMENT IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY .. THINK SAVE http://www.afa.org.sg/thinkagain/
There are quite a lot of misunderstanding about HIV & AIDS, that only homosexual people get them. In fact, HIV does not discriminate, it affected heterosexual men, women and even children!! So, the chance of getting infected by HIV isn't limited to homosexual population.
Everyday, there are about 8000 people die from AIDS. So be supportive... be protected!!

This is life
Life is always full of disappointments.... no matter where you go, what you have done, who you have met... there are bound to be people around you who disappointed you; there are always situations that failed you... this is what I learnt a long time ago... and you will rarely find me asking for help from anyone.
I didn't need to live long to see the ugly side of human being, but the ones I have seen...made me the person I am now.
I do not believe in others and I do not rely on others... I believe I am the person who should be in control of things around me. I would rather have people asking me for help, rather than asking them to help me.
And from now on, I need to work harder, not to let people putting me and my loved one into any vulnerable position.

My lovely Easter treat
What more can I ask for? I am born to be a lazy person, esp. on Sundays....
After I went to the Easter fair, I went to a coffee shop to enjoy my cup of lazy sunday coffee. (why is it a 'lazy sunday coffee'? - that's because I believe that Sundays should be a cruisy, lazy day, when you pop into a coffee shop, have a cuppa, and enjoy the rest of the day by listening to music... and refresh yourself!!)
While I was enjoying my lovely double shot coffee, I thought... what am I going to do with my 2kg of succulent, lovely, mouth-watering strawberries?.... I have decided to make a strawberry salad tonight!!!
Ingredients:
2 quarts mixed salad greens
1 cup strawberries, very ripe
1/3 cup canola or other mild flavored oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon water
salt and pepper
It is going to be lovely!!!
Easter Sunday
Umm... it is nice that I get Easter Sunday and Easter Monday off, although I wasn't planning to get Monday off, but anyway... it's nice to have 2 days off.
Went to the Norwich Easter Fayr (donno why they call it fayr...shouldn't it be fair?) And they have heaps of shacks..... and this is one of them.
And I bought myself a punnet/box of strawberry!!!... This is my Easter treat.

To all the politicians in the world
Dear Mr. President PINK (f/ Indigo Girls)
Dear Mr President
Come take a walk with me
Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly
What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep
What do you feel when you look in the mirror
Are you proud
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why
Dear Mr. President
Were you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
How can you say
No child is left behind
We're not dumb and we're not blind
They're all sitting in your cells
While you pay the road to hell
What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
Let me tell you bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
You don't know nothing bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
Oh
How do you sleep at night
How do you walk with your head held high
Dear Mr. President
You'd never take a walk with me
Would you
What have you done to our world??

Retirement fund
Just on my way back home, on a taxi... I heard this financial consultant talking about retirement and savings...
she said.... people have never properly thought about their retirement and never figured out how much they need when they retire... and that's her tips on retirement funds...
If you are 26... the percentage of savings (which would be your retirement funds).. would be half of your age... then take the percentage as your goal... i.e. 13% of the income should be used as retirement funds... And if you are 40, then you should save 20% of the income as retirement funds...
But the retirement funds should be invested on something instead of putting it in the bank....
Umm.... I better save up more then...

天使是什麼樣的？
Sweetheart,
Do you remember, when we were in Sydney museum, you asked me what I think about angels and how they should look like?....
像昨天撿到你的皮夾還給你的老太太。
像告訴你，你笑起來的時候眼神好亮的計程車司機。
像喜歡向你展示看來平凡的新奇事物的小小孩。
像願意和你共享他午餐的窮人。
像向你展示，只要你相信。致富的機會極大的富人。
像當你迷路時，指示你方向的，不期而遇之陌生人。
像當你覺得自己沒有朋友時，觸摸你心靈的一位朋友。
天使以不同的形象，不同的年齡，和不同的膚色出現。
有的有雀斑，有的有酒渦，有的有皺紋滿面。
他們裝扮成朋友，仇敵，教師學生，愛人，和傻子。
他們生活不會太嚴肅，他們輕裝便服。
他們不留下地址，也不要求回報。
當你不注意，你會視而不見，當你仔細瞧，處處可見他們的蹤影。
Angels are everywhere, they are amongst us

Hung up
Mum called early this morning, when I called her back, she seemed she's got something to tell me, but she didn't coz' she had to go out for a movie.
When I call her tonight, she just asked a couple of questions about when my contract finishes,when I am leaving, and whether I've got something lined up when I get back to Hong Kong.
Then, when I asked her about her eye sights.... she said that's nothing she can do about it, and hung up.....
All I can say is...... I think it is weird.... and a bit bizarre. Is she trying to tell/ask me something?

Heavy snow in March
Met Office Warning Of Heavy Snow Thursday March 15, 04:07 PM
The Met Office has issued a warning that heavy snow falls are on the way for parts of the UK, starting on Sunday and persisting until the middle of next week. The blizzards will be driven across the country by cold northerly winds and disruption to roads, rail and air travel is likely.
The first significant snowfalls are expected overnight on Sunday and during Monday.
The change in the follows a period of above average temperatures for much of Britain.
Experts say the mercury will drop to as low as -4C for parts of Scotland, northern England and Wales.
Stephen Davenport, senior forecaster for MeteoGroup UK, said: "That's really quite a drop. Not only that, we will have biting north-westerly winds with significant wind chill to make it feel even colder.
"These north-west winds are dragging colder air from the Polar and Arctic regions. Scotland will see lots of hail, sleet and snow by Sunday.
"Most parts of the UK will have a risk of passing flurries of snow showers but it may be prolonged along the east of England particularly in East Anglia where it may accumulate overnight Sunday to Monday."
He added that the conditions are not untypical for March, which he described as a "changeable" month.
Environmentalists are warning that the cold snap could prove fatal for many animals that have emerged early from their hibernation because of the mild winter.
Moles, squirrels, dormice, bats and hedgehogs are all at risk.
Biologist Dr Tim Sparks said: "Many of these animals need to feed every day.
"If there are several days where they can't access food because the ground is frozen or covered in snow that can lead to death."

The Cloud...
My colleagues were just talking about how lucky some people are (having a very nice, charming & good looking partner, and yet the person himself/herself is so ugly)
There's a reason why they are so 'lucky'. I was told by one of my professors when I was still in university.
Three good friends (let's named them A, B & C) went to heaven together. God welcomed them into heaven and also warned them about "the cloud" in heaven. God said to them, 'You can go wherever you like, but don't step on the grey cloud.' Then, the three friends enter into heaven.
One day, B & C met A, and she's with a very ugly guy .... and they asked A, 'What happened? Why is this guy with you?'. Then A said, ' I should have listen to God, I shouldn't have stepped on the grey cloud. And now, this guy is my soulmate in heaven!!'
Then a couple of days later, A & C met B, and she's also with a very ugly guy. And she also explained to them that she stepped on the grey cloud!! Therefore, she's stuck with this ugly guy forever.
And, another couple of days later. A & B met C... and they were so surprised that she got a very handsome, charming guy next to her. They were very curious, and asked C. ' How come you are so lucky? Why is this handsome guy with you?' But C kept quiet.
.... And the handsome guy said.........' It was me who accidently stepped on the grey cloud.'
So.. ladies and gentlemen.... that's why some people are so lucky!
(N.B. Personally, I have nothing against ugly people, please don't take it as an offence. I believe there's no ugly people in the world. )
There's a reason why they are so 'lucky'. I was told by one of my professors when I was still in university.
Three good friends (let's named them A, B & C) went to heaven together. God welcomed them into heaven and also warned them about "the cloud" in heaven. God said to them, 'You can go wherever you like, but don't step on the grey cloud.' Then, the three friends enter into heaven.
One day, B & C met A, and she's with a very ugly guy .... and they asked A, 'What happened? Why is this guy with you?'. Then A said, ' I should have listen to God, I shouldn't have stepped on the grey cloud. And now, this guy is my soulmate in heaven!!'
Then a couple of days later, A & C met B, and she's also with a very ugly guy. And she also explained to them that she stepped on the grey cloud!! Therefore, she's stuck with this ugly guy forever.
And, another couple of days later. A & B met C... and they were so surprised that she got a very handsome, charming guy next to her. They were very curious, and asked C. ' How come you are so lucky? Why is this handsome guy with you?' But C kept quiet.

我要對家人好D
"隨著自己愈長大，看著父母親臉龐從年輕變憔悴，頭髮從烏絲變白髮,動作從 迅捷變緩慢，多心疼！ 父母親總是將最好、最寶貴的留給我們，像蠟燭不停的燃燒自己，照亮孩子！而我呢？有沒有騰出一個空間給我的父母，或者只是在當我需要停泊岸時，才會想起他們 ....其實父母親要的真的不多，只是一句隨意的問候：爸、媽，你們今天好嗎？」 隨意買的宵夜，煮一頓再普通不過的晚餐，睡前幫他們蓋蓋被子，天冷幫他們添衣服、戴手套 ....都能讓他們高興溫馨很久。"

Relativity theory- the humorous side of Einstein
"Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love.
How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love?
Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like a hour. Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That's relativity." - Albert Einstein

[轉帖]一個人能夠給別人最珍貴的禮物是什麼?
一個人能夠給別人最珍貴的禮物是什麼？
「你覺得一個人能夠給別人最珍貴的禮物是什麼？」 這是我在紐西蘭採訪時，同行一位美麗女子問我的問題。
我覺得這問題很有意思，於是，也拿它問了許多人，答案林林種種，很有趣。 包括：真心、讚美、誠意、體貼、智慧、尊重、包容、感情、愛、關懷、等等。
而我印象最深刻的答案是，問我問題的那位美麗女子說的兩個字：時間。
好友失戀了。為了療傷止痛，我們一群手帕交陪她逛街買東西，企圖轉移她的注意力。 一個星期後，其中某位知己對她說：「妳應該把帳單全部寄給他，要他還錢。」 「為什麼？」她問。 「分手費啊！」 她嘆了口氣說：「他還不起的，因為我把最好的時間給了他。」
有個過了適婚年齡的朋友，天天埋頭工作，他的家人心急的不得了，四處安排他相親，不停幫他介紹女朋友，但似乎沒什麼眉目，我問他：「你到底喜歡什麼樣的?說個條件，別人好幫你留意。」 他想了想說：「我想找個我願意把時間花在她身上的人。」
一位被愛擊傷的女孩，多年來始終不曾打開心門，讓愛再生。 旁人一直以為她等的是曾經滄海的他。 是，當他回過頭想與她再續前緣時，她卻不給他機會，拒絕了他。 她說：「我不是忘不了他，我捨不得的是從前相戀的那段時間，但我們回不到過去了。」
「時間無涯的荒野裡，沒有早一步，也沒有晚一步，剛巧趕上了！」 這是張愛玲的名句。 恨早或恨晚的愛情，都是一種遺憾，都只能錯過。
只有在對的時間，愛情的樣子才能美麗。 我想找個我願意把時間花在他身上的人。
珍惜一個願意花時間在妳身上的人 把握每一個願意為妳下心力的人
最珍貴的禮物 ~ 是願意給愛的人自己的時間

白羊座
開 朗 熱 情
白 羊 座 的 人 令 人 覺 得 他 開 朗 而 熱 情 。 即 使 他 內 心 是 有 那 麼 點 害 羞 ， 表 面 上 仍 可 以 很 自 在 、 大 。 方 當 一 頭 白 羊 愁 眉 苦 臉 時 ， 只 會 出 現 在 他 家 裡 鏡 子 中 。 他 再 傷 心 ， 就 是 不 會 在 別 人 面 前 擺 出 苦 旦 臉 。 好 強 ？ 可 以 這 麼 說 。 誰 不 好 強 呢 ？ 其 實 白 羊 座 的 人 仍 會 向 朋 友 吐 苦 水 ， 但 真 正 的 眼 淚 ， 你 是 看 不 到 的 。一 群 朋 友 ， 開 開 心 心 的 ， 在 陽 光 下 嬉 耍 ， 是 白 羊 座 最 懷 念 的 美 好 時 光 。 悲 鬱 的 人 生 絕 不 是 白 羊 座 的 人 所 嚮 往 的 ， 不 幸 陷 入 時 ， 他 也 會 極 力 設 法 讓 自 己 不 要 太 相 信 會 就 這 麼 過 一 生 ， 他 全 心 希 望 有 一 個 新 生 活 。
愛 恨 分 明 不 吃 回 頭 草
白 羊 座 的 人 愛 恨 分 明 ， 愛 就 是 愛 ， 恨 就 是 恨 。 不 過 Ａ 型 白 羊 ， 對 「 恨 」 這 個 字 眼 沒 多 大 興 趣 ， 他 是 不 愛 就 是 不 愛 而 已 。 在 愛 情 上 ， 白 羊 是 相 當 乾 脆 的 ， 不 喜 拖 泥 帶 水 ， 屬 於 行 動 派 ， 要 求 立 見 真 章 。 他 們 最 不 能 忍 受 一 廂 情 願 。凡 是 白 羊 決 定 不 要 的 東 西 ， 絕 不 會 再 撿 回 來 ， 否 則 他 無 顏 面 對 自 己 。 不 吃 回 頭 草 ， 也 是 白 羊 座 人 好 強 的 證 據 。 由 於 白 羊 座 對 愛 情 具 有 童 話 格 ， 要 求 純 潔 、 唯 一 與 童 稚 心 的 戀 情 ， 與 舊 情 人 復 燃 愛 曲 當 然 是 白 羊 座 不 屑 的 。 談 戀 愛 時 ， 白 羊 座 的 人 是 不 會 騙 你 的 ， 大 可 放 心 。 但 是 他 的 愛 意 來 得 快 ， 去 得 快 。 除 非 你 有 超 強 的 吸 引 力 ， 一 旦 一 頭 白 羊 陷 入 不 可 自 拔 的 情 網 時 ， 你 要 抽 身 ， 也 就 很 難 了 。 那 將 會 是 悲 劇 的 下 場 。 你 也 得 不 到 好 處 。
樂 觀 乃 天 性 不 是 不 悲 觀
白 羊 座 天 性 樂 觀 ， 但 長 大 後 遭 遇 到 的 事 了 ， 他 們 也 會 悲 觀 到 了 極 點 。 只 不 過 悲 觀 歸 悲 觀 ， 既 然 不 想 死 ， 活 下 去 就 得 樂 觀 點 ， 日 子 才 會 有 趣 些 。 因 此 白 羊 座 的 人 只 不 過 是 不 把 悲 觀 當 一 回 事 ， 並 不 是 不 悲 觀 。 而 他 們 樂 觀 的 天 性 極 具 感 染 力 ， 你 得 穩 著 點 ， 以 免 誤 陷 入 一 塌 糊 塗 的 樂 觀 絕 地 之 中 。 白 羊 行 使 俠 義 的 性 格 ， 使 他 能 結 交 許 多 剖 心 相 見 的 朋 友 。 但 是 他 對 朋 友 的 要 求 也 很 高 ， 不 少 人 受 不 了 白 羊 座 對 朋 友 的 殷 殷 期 許 。 自 然 啦 ， 白 羊 對 情 人 、 對 丈 夫 （ 或 妻 子 ） 、 對 同 事 ， 也 都 有 些 標 準 在 心 中 測 量 。 與 標 準 不 符 時 ， 他 便 會 覺 沮 喪 、 食 慾 不 振 。 現 實 的 人 永 難 成 為 白 羊 座 人 的 朋 友 。
爆 發 型 的 浪 漫
白 羊 座 的 人 當 然 是 漫 的 ， 但 是 是 屬 於 爆 發 型 的 浪 漫 。 公 羊 、 母 羊 皆 如 此 。 一 點 一 滴 積 出 來 的 浪 漫 ， 對 白 羊 座 來 ， 強 度 不 夠 ， 只 覺 累 贅 、 厚 重 ， 這 種 浪 漫 容 易 分 叉 、 斷 裂 。 白 羊 座 喜 歡 在 慶 典 的 夜 晚 ， 與 情 人 並 肩 仰 望 煙 火 在 夜 空 中 爆 放 出 光 芒 萬 丈 ， 而 那 也 正 象 徵 著 愛 情 發 生 的 瞬 間 ， 浪 漫 不 過 了 。當 白 羊 座 處 於 浪 漫 的 瞬 間 ， 幾 乎 沒 有 什 麼 事 可 以 挪 動 他 們 的 感 性 。 浪 漫 過 後 他 顯 然 全 已 清 醒 ， 接 下 來 端 看 那 瞬 間 爆 發 的 浪 漫 ， 到 底 能 在 他 的 記 憶 中 存 留 多 ， 久 才 能 知 他 到 底 有 多 在 乎 曾 經 發 生 過 的 感 動 。 因 此 ， 你 也 可 以 推 論 出 ， 工 作 、 事 業 、 婚 姻 、 友 情 都 不 在 白 羊 浪 漫 的 範 疇 中 ， 他 對 這 些 反 是 以 細 水 長 流 的 方 式 經 營 。 「 徒 步 越 過 愛 琴 島 是 可 能 的 ， 你 只 要 逐 島 跳 過 去 就 行 了 」嗨 ！ 我 在 這 裡 ，不 必 等 到 風 吹 草 低 見 牛 羊 的 那 一 刻 ， 你 便 會 遠 遠 看 到 有 隻 羊 在 拚 命 蹬 踢 他 強 健 的 小 蹄 子 ， 在 半 空 中 跳 躍 ， 向 你 打 招 呼 ： 「 嗨 ！ 我 在 這 裏 。 」 是 的 ， 白 羊 座 的 人 就 是 這 麼 令 人 覺 得 他 開 朗 而 熱 情 。 即 使 他 內 心 是 有 那 麼 一 點 害 羞 ， 表 面 上 仍 可 以 很 自 在 、 大 方 。 當 一 頭 白 羊 愁 眉 苦 臉 時 ， 只 會 出 現 在 他 家 鏡 子 中 。 他 再 傷 心 ， 就 是 不 會 在 別 人 面 擺 出 苦 旦 臉 。 好 強 ﹖ 可 以 這 麼 說 。 誰 不 好 強 呢 ？ 其 實 白 羊 座 的 人 仍 會 向 朋 友 吐 苦 水 ， 但 真 正 的 眼 淚 ， 你 是 看 不 到 的 。 一 群 朋 友 ， 開 開 心 心 的 ， 在 陽 光 下 嬉 耍 ， 是 白 羊 座 最 懷 的 美 好 時 光 。 悲 鬱 的 人 生 絕 不 是 一 頭 白 羊 所 嚮 往 的 ， 不 幸 陷 入 時 ， 他 也 會 極 力 設 法 讓 自 己 不 要 太 相 信 就 這 麼 過 一 生 ， 他 會 全 心 希 望 有 一 個 新 生 活 。
正 經 八 百 的 ， 會 要 他 的 命
白 羊 座 出 現 在 高 貴 、 華 麗 的 場 合 中 ， 不 會 顯 得 格 格 不 入 ， 但 是 他 自 己 卻 難 受 得 要 命 ， 因 為 他 不 能 自 在 地 蹺 二 郎 腿 ， 不 能 在 高 興 時 放 浪 形 骸 。 正 經 八 百 的 ， 會 要 他 的 命 。 一 般 社 會 上 流 行 的 娛 樂 ， 白 羊 座 都 能 欣 然 加 作 ， 但 是 他 本 來 就 有 的 獨 特 娛 樂 品 味 也 不 會 放 棄 。 也 就 是 說 怹 很 愛 聽 歌 劇 ， 但 也 喜 歡 到 卡 拉 Ｏ Ｋ 高 歌 一 曲 。 基 本 上 ， 白 羊 座 的 是 很 雅 、 俗 共 賞 的 。 他 們 的 適 應 很 強 ， 但 又 隨 遇 而 安 。 在 白 羊 的 心 中 總 是 有 一 個 更 好 的 天 堂 在 等 著 他 。 白 羊 座 的 人 對 於 生 命 力 旺 盛 的 人 ， 特 別 注 意 。 他 喜 歡 被 專 家 領 導 ， 不 會 隨 便 懷 疑 ， 一 旦 懷 疑 便 打 入 十 八 層 地 獄 。 而 他 成 為 專 家 時 ， 也 不 要 隨 便 懷 疑 他 ， 如 果 你 不 能 拿 出 令 他 心 服 口 服 的 證 據 ， 你 將 永 不 能 再 從 他 那 裏 得 到 訓 誨 。
若 不 能 舉 足 輕 重 ， 寧 可 自 動 消 失
白 羊 座 的 人 常 因 過 度 自 信 而 衝 動 行 事 ， 又 因 衝 動 行 事 失 敗 而 自 毀 信 心 。 對 白 羊 座 的 人 來 說 ， 三 思 而 後 行 是 比 較 好 的 。 在 一 個 團 體 中 ， 白 羊 座 若 不 能 舉 足 輕 重 ， 他 寧 可 自 動 消 失 ， 並 且 不 會 以 任 何 藉 口 。 消 失 就 消 失 了 ， 這 裏 不 是 我 的 王 國 ， 他 把 自 己 在 團 體 中 的 角 色 看 得 很 重 ， 相 對 地 也 願 意 承 擔 更 多 的 責 任 ， 他 不 會 認 為 自 己 可 以 不 勞 而 獲 。 一 旦 勞 了 還 是 沒 有 獲 得 的 時 候 就 絕 不 戀 棧 。他 的 自 尊 心 強 ， 你 的 一 句 「 老 實 說 」 會 傷 他 的 心 許 久 。 如 果 你 問 他 會 不 會 表 演 空 中 飛 人 ， 他 心 中 盤 算 自 己 應 可 勝 任 ， 便 會 點 頭 ， 答 應 你 一 個 後 的 表 演 ， 這 一 個 月 中 他 就 會 勤 加 苦 練 。 而 對 於 自 己 沒 有 把 握 的 事 ， 白 羊 座 的 人 是 不 至 於 去 強 出 頭 的 。
愛 情 是 一 生 中 最 大 的 課 題
白 羊 是 很 容 易 不 耐 煩 的 。 在 戀 愛 中 ， 你 得 把 那 些 小 把 戲 收 藏 起 來 ， 他 可 受 不 了 什 麼 「 考 驗 」 之 類 的 事 。 既 然 愛 他 就 應 該 信 任 他 。 不 管 公 羊 、 母 羊 ， 他 們 對 愛 情 都 是 十 分 認 真 的 。 對 他 們 來 說 ， 愛 情 有 兩 種 ， 一 種 是 真 的 ， 一 種 是 假 的 。 假 情 愛 情 ， 極 易 發 生 在 衝 動 而 善 感 的 白 羊 座 身 上 ， 但 很 快 會 結 束 ， 並 且 會 像 是 從 未 發 生 過 。 真 正 的 愛 情 ， 是 白 羊 座 一 生 中 最 大 的 課 題 ， 他 總 覺 得 這 個 課 題 怎 麼 寫 也 寫 不 完 整 。友 情 與 情 是 白 羊 座 不 可 或 缺 的 兩 大 支 柱 。 當 愛 情 沒 著 落 時 ， 他 們 可 靠 著 這 兩 大 支 柱 中 的 任 一 項 ， 發 展 他 的 事 業 。 即 使 他 十 七 歲 時 就 有 了 結 婚 的 對 象 ， 但 到 了 七 十 歲 若 未 結 婚 ， 他 也 仍 在 心 中 保 有 一 個 結 婚 對 象 ， 這 是 他 的 樂 天 知 命 所 使 然 。
相 信 小 精 靈 的 孩 子
僅 管 白 羊 座 的 人 長 得 人 高 馬 大 ， 他 仍 是 個 孩 子 ， 他 一 直 保 有 天 真 的 一 面 ， 即 使 長 大 了 ， 他 還 是 相 信 世 界 上 有 小 精 靈 的 存 在 。 有 時 白 羊 座 的 人 相 當 幼 稚 ， 可 是 他 絕 不 是 不 聰 明 ， 他 的 反 應 可 快 得 很 呢 ！ 他 有 帶 頭 當 第 一 的 強 烈 欲 望 ， 做 第 二 免 談 。 所 以 他 做 起 事 來 動 作 很 快 ， 甚 少 優 柔 寡 斷 。 他 非 常 自 信 ， 深 信 自 己 處 理 事 務 的 能 力 無 人 可 及 。 他 也 從 不 向 命 運 低 頭 ， 僅 管 挫 折 一 次 又 一 次 的 出 現 。 他 信 任 所 有 的 人 ， 很 少 會 去 懷 疑 別 人 是 否 會 對 他 不 利 ， 而 他 的 勇 敢 也 使 他 能 不 斷 地 站 在 最 前 面 。 與 白 羊 座 的 人 相 處 時 ， 你 必 須 注 意 一 些 重 要 的 關 鍵 ， 他 是 個 喜 歡 爭 先 的 人 ， 這 是 所 有 白 羊 座 的 天 性 ， 所 以 有 時 你 必 須 要 有 心 理 準 備 。 他 說 話 或 做 事 都 相 當 直 接 ， 很 少 會 跟 你 拐 彎 抹 角 ， 他 也 相 當 誠 實 ， 只 要 一 說 謊 就 很 容 易 被 人 察 覺 。 他 是 個 不 擅 處 理 細 節 的 人 ， 所 以 ， 如 果 你 想 請 他 處 理 些 較 細 微 的 工 做 的 話 ， 倒 不 如 自 己 做 還 來 的 恰 當 些 。
開 朗 熱 情
白 羊 座 的 人 令 人 覺 得 他 開 朗 而 熱 情 。 即 使 他 內 心 是 有 那 麼 點 害 羞 ， 表 面 上 仍 可 以 很 自 在 、 大 。 方 當 一 頭 白 羊 愁 眉 苦 臉 時 ， 只 會 出 現 在 他 家 裡 鏡 子 中 。 他 再 傷 心 ， 就 是 不 會 在 別 人 面 前 擺 出 苦 旦 臉 。 好 強 ？ 可 以 這 麼 說 。 誰 不 好 強 呢 ？ 其 實 白 羊 座 的 人 仍 會 向 朋 友 吐 苦 水 ， 但 真 正 的 眼 淚 ， 你 是 看 不 到 的 。一 群 朋 友 ， 開 開 心 心 的 ， 在 陽 光 下 嬉 耍 ， 是 白 羊 座 最 懷 念 的 美 好 時 光 。 悲 鬱 的 人 生 絕 不 是 白 羊 座 的 人 所 嚮 往 的 ， 不 幸 陷 入 時 ， 他 也 會 極 力 設 法 讓 自 己 不 要 太 相 信 會 就 這 麼 過 一 生 ， 他 全 心 希 望 有 一 個 新 生 活 。

白 羊 是 很 容 易 不 耐 煩 的 。 在 戀 愛 中 ， 你 得 把 那 些 小 把 戲 收 藏 起 來 ， 他 可 受 不 了 什 麼 「 考 驗 」 之 類 的 事 。 既 然 愛 他 就 應 該 信 任 他 。 不 管 公 羊 、 母 羊 ， 他 們 對 愛 情 都 是 十 分 認 真 的 。 對 他 們 來 說 ， 愛 情 有 兩 種 ， 一 種 是 真 的 ， 一 種 是 假 的 。 假 情 愛 情 ， 極 易 發 生 在 衝 動 而 善 感 的 白 羊 座 身 上 ， 但 很 快 會 結 束 ， 並 且 會 像 是 從 未 發 生 過 。 真 正 的 愛 情 ， 是 白 羊 座 一 生 中 最 大 的 課 題 ， 他 總 覺 得 這 個 課 題 怎 麼 寫 也 寫 不 完 整 。友 情 與 情 是 白 羊 座 不 可 或 缺 的 兩 大 支 柱 。 當 愛 情 沒 著 落 時 ， 他 們 可 靠 著 這 兩 大 支 柱 中 的 任 一 項 ， 發 展 他 的 事 業 。 即 使 他 十 七 歲 時 就 有 了 結 婚 的 對 象 ， 但 到 了 七 十 歲 若 未 結 婚 ， 他 也 仍 在 心 中 保 有 一 個 結 婚 對 象 ， 這 是 他 的 樂 天 知 命 所 使 然 。
相 信 小 精 靈 的 孩 子
僅 管 白 羊 座 的 人 長 得 人 高 馬 大 ， 他 仍 是 個 孩 子 ， 他 一 直 保 有 天 真 的 一 面 ， 即 使 長 大 了 ， 他 還 是 相 信 世 界 上 有 小 精 靈 的 存 在 。 有 時 白 羊 座 的 人 相 當 幼 稚 ， 可 是 他 絕 不 是 不 聰 明 ， 他 的 反 應 可 快 得 很 呢 ！ 他 有 帶 頭 當 第 一 的 強 烈 欲 望 ， 做 第 二 免 談 。 所 以 他 做 起 事 來 動 作 很 快 ， 甚 少 優 柔 寡 斷 。 他 非 常 自 信 ， 深 信 自 己 處 理 事 務 的 能 力 無 人 可 及 。 他 也 從 不 向 命 運 低 頭 ， 僅 管 挫 折 一 次 又 一 次 的 出 現 。 他 信 任 所 有 的 人 ， 很 少 會 去 懷 疑 別 人 是 否 會 對 他 不 利 ， 而 他 的 勇 敢 也 使 他 能 不 斷 地 站 在 最 前 面 。 與 白 羊 座 的 人 相 處 時 ， 你 必 須 注 意 一 些 重 要 的 關 鍵 ， 他 是 個 喜 歡 爭 先 的 人 ， 這 是 所 有 白 羊 座 的 天 性 ， 所 以 有 時 你 必 須 要 有 心 理 準 備 。 他 說 話 或 做 事 都 相 當 直 接 ， 很 少 會 跟 你 拐 彎 抹 角 ， 他 也 相 當 誠 實 ， 只 要 一 說 謊 就 很 容 易 被 人 察 覺 。 他 是 個 不 擅 處 理 細 節 的 人 ， 所 以 ， 如 果 你 想 請 他 處 理 些 較 細 微 的 工 做 的 話 ， 倒 不 如 自 己 做 還 來 的 恰 當 些 。
Dilemma
I believe there's already a path set-up for all of us to go through...may be it is called fate, and that, God would guide us through it.
But what if....
I do not walk the path that God has created for me. Instead, I choose to create a path of my own... a more winding one. Would God still help me to get through the tough challenges I will face?
I don't have an answer to my silly question at the moment, but I believe...God would answer my prayer.

A couple more weeks left
I have 7 weeks left until I go back to Hong Kong. I have finally popped-in to the rental agent and sorted out the notices.... and inventory checks. Called all of the utility companies to cancel payments.
Suddenly, I realised that... it take a long time to build up /set-up things, but it only takes a few minutes to demolish everything.
-- This leads to another important thing in our lives....
For a relationship to work, it takes a long time for two people to build up trust between each other, don't let small things ruin the long-built relationship, it doesn't worth it!!!

Another book....
I think I must me quite desperate to read more books these days.... I think I am going back to my old self... a book worm??!!
Violin books 4 U
Spotted the music theory books in the store today... they are the ones that I use when I started learning piano... they are exactly the ones that I used 21 years ago (Good things never need to change!!) And I thought it is better to stick to The Royal Schools of Music.
I hope you will find them useful.
Finally
I have always wanted to read this book - "Faust" - by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe. And I found this book in the bookstore today... so I bought it!!

How would you react to this programme if you are a heterosexual? How would you react, if you are a bisexual? And how would you react, if you are a homosexual?
Is it bias? Is it untruthful? Is it 'promoting' homosexuality? Is it inappropriate? Or is it just a reflection of what is going on in the our society (i.e. minority group in HK)?
Is homosexuality such a forbidden topic in the modern society? Or are we just limiting ourselves to see or to accept what is outside the norm - the majority moral believe?
Is our society breaching the basic human rights? Discriminating the minority group? If homosexuality is not being classified as a phycological disorder scientifically, why are we still forbidden to talk about it in public, in this case, the government sponsored television programme? Where is our freedom of speech?
HOMOSEXUALITY.....is just a matter of how much Hong Kong society can accept this sensitive topic at this stage.
And personally, I believe homosexual couples would be able to get married in a couple of years time.
It is just a matter of moral evolution...

The Sound of Music
"The Sound of Music".... it is the first movie introduced by my mum when I was about 6 or 7 years old, and I fell in love with this movie ever since.
I have watch this over and over again in the past couple of years (I think I will never get sick of watching it), and now... I cannot believe I am humming one of the songs almost every night to my lovely partner......
alright... the lyrics is for you, my lovely sunflower.
Edelweiss

It is snowing out there at the moment (23/1/07 21:48 Norwich-UK).I was just going to the kitchen, and when I looked out from the window... it's white everywhere...
Got myself a cup of tea... and then I was looking out.... it is quite a beautiful scene... white walkways, with a couple of foot-marks on the ground, the grass and the shrubs covered with a thick layer of snow, all the cars are covered.... it is very bright out there, I guess it is the reflection of the snow which makes it bright and clear!!! And I thought, wouldn't be nice if you are still with me, it would be just perfect!!
Then..suddenly, I felt really really lonely....I just wish I can share the beautiful scene with you.

A man also died after being blown into a metal shutter at an industrial estate in the Strangeways area of Manchester.
While England experienced high winds, Scotland has seen its first major snowfalls of 2007.
The weather has been causing problems across the country, including:
Some 100,000 people have been affected by power cuts in the Godalming area of Surrey.
More than 30,000 electricity customers across the north east of England, Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire were without power
More than 60,000 homes in Lancashire and the south Lake District were without power after lines were damages
More than 25,000 homes lost electricity in Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire
Scottish Power said around 30,000 homes were without electricity in Cheshire and mid and north Wales due to the adverse weather
Thousands of homes have been left without power in an area from Oxford to Poole and Chichester, the North East and across Central's Midlands' network
Lord's Cricket Ground in London was left strewn with debris after winds damaged its roof
In Kent, Dover port has reopened, and the M25 Dartford river crossing and the Sheppey Crossing were shut
There was snow and ice in County Durham, where part of the A68 at Tow Law was closed for a short time after lorries and cars skidded into ditches
Strong winds have brought down part of a roof onto a busy shopping street in Hereford city centre
Twenty-six mariners have been rescued from a damaged British container ship in the English Channel 50 miles (80km) off the Lizard in Cornwall
There were 192 flights cancelled at Heathrow, 39 cancellations across Scotland, five at Southampton and two at Stansted. Cardiff also saw flights scrapped. More than 80 flights at Manchester were cancelled. Flights from Liverpool John Lennon Airport were suspended for a time.
On the roads, the Highways Agency said both the M48 Severn Bridge and the A282 Dartford crossing were closed due to high winds.
The M25 junctions 29 to 30 were closed in both directions as were the M1 junctions 30 to 31, M11 junctions 6 to 10 and M18 junctions 4 to 7.
Network Rail said 50mph speed restrictions were in place across the whole of England and Wales.
London Bridge station closed for the rest of the day after glass panels fell onto the concourse.
Virgin Trains cancelled all services on the West Coast route, and First Great Western was forced to run a shuttle service between Paddington and Reading.
Cold snap
Forecasters said wind speeds in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, would pick up throughout the day, reaching 60 to 70mph in some parts and 80mph on high ground.
Scotland has seen its first major snowfalls of the year
South and west facing coastlines were expected to bear the brunt of the storms.
Central Scotland Police said several cars became stuck in snow on the A809 near Killearn, while Strathclyde has seen snow on the M74 south of Hamilton, Lanarkshire.
The Highways Agency has advised all motorists to take extra care and to plan their routes in advance.
Friday is expected to be calmer but the country could be facing a cold snap next week.
Despite an unusually mild start to January, forecasters have warned that temperatures are likely to plummet beyond the weekend.

算命...人生? believe it or not?
◎您是財富的太陽，和藹可親，為人大方，十分有福氣，可以享受物質生活，對身邊異性有很大的幫助。熱情有禮，喜歡有智慧，守承諾的人。個性開朗，熱心大方，不會斤斤計較，具有領導特質，不容易接受他人的指揮。◎根據命理來分析您的個性，潛意識，以及行為模式，您是屬於「太陽命」，因此您天生具有太陽的特質，開朗活潑，熱心大方，不會斤斤計較，也不喜歡搞小團體，對於公理正義非常執著。太陽在天空發光發熱，因此您天生具有老大命，也有領袖命，有表現欲望，但也有犧牲奉獻的精神。太陽不會依自己的喜好來照耀大地，每一個地區都會受到普照，因此您喜歡一視同仁，公私分明，不喜歡有人假公濟私，或搞小團體。太陽每天東昇西降，規律運行，沒有人能改變太陽的軌道，因此您也很有規律性以及耐心，極少半途而廢，而且您也不能接受有人命令您要做什麼，或不做什麼。此外，您喜歡老實誠信的人，不喜歡自以為是的人，而能讓您佩服的人，多半是有想法，才華與智慧的人，能夠在心靈上讓您提昇的人。您的一生，像太陽一樣，發光發熱，受到眾人矚目。但是陽光有時候也會被烏雲遮蔽，讓您覺得力不從心，有時候陽光炎熱，您善意付出，卻造成別人的壓力，也會讓您很無奈，這些都是您的磨練，只要您經得起外在的考驗，不怨天尤人，進而學習成長，一旦通過考驗，您的成就將不可限量，是領袖級的人物。◎您本命五行金太旺，呼吸系統機能比較弱，容易呼吸不順，感冒咳嗽，或有氣喘等症狀。◎根據命理分析，您天生呼吸系統功能比較差，在年輕的時候不會有太大的問題，頂多是容易鼻子過敏、流鼻水、咳嗽、感冒、胸悶、腹瀉或便秘，但是如果您現在不照顧呼吸系統，隨著年紀越來越大就很容易導致鼻竇炎、氣喘、肺炎、支氣管炎、大腸息肉、直腸炎等問題。因此您不能過度勞累，而且千萬不能抽菸，要維持正常作息，早睡早起，才可以保護先天比較弱的呼吸系統。此外，所謂「病從口入」，人類大部分的疾病來源都跟飲食有關，根據中醫理論，食物可以分成金、木、水、火、土等五種五行。您可能偏好吃重口味，辣口味的東西，像是麻辣火鍋，四川菜，應該都符合您的口味。因此，您的細胞中，充滿太多「金」的五行，會導致健康，財運與事業的不圓滿，建議您平時最好能飲食均衡，菜色均衡，則陰陽五行調和，生活美滿幸福。◎但是您八字缺水，先天水的機能也比較弱，容易疲累，要注意婦科的保健。◎根據命理分析，您天生腎水系統比較差，所以容易感覺疲倦，冬天常常手腳冰冷，體力似乎不如人，因此無法從事需要大量勞力的工作。在年輕的時候不會有太大的問題，但隨著年紀越來越大，腎水系統需要更多的照顧，不然很容易有血壓、心臟、婦科的問題，甚至容易導致失眠、憂鬱、腦神經衰弱、腎功能異常、聽力異常、膀胱炎、尿道炎、月事不順、或其他心血管功能疾病等問題。因此您不能過度勞累，要維持正常作息，早睡早起，多接觸陽光，多走出戶外，少吃油炸食物，才可以保護先天比較弱的腎水系統。此外，由於體質偏向燥熱，您會想要喝冰的飲料，但是千萬不能喝，此外也要避免房事太頻繁，以免傷了元氣。此外，您是屬於行動派的人，不喜歡拖泥帶水，拐彎沒角。因此，您做事快速有效率，但是欠缺縝密的思考，運氣好的時後一帆風順，運氣差的時候白忙一場，所以一生常常起伏不定。如果您想改變這種現象，最好每天要留一些時間給自己思考，多想想平常沒時間思考的問題，這樣可以有助於您做出正確的決策。只要您做事能三思而後行，有正確的方向，再加上您的行動力，那您的命運將會有很大的改變，身體健康，財運順利，事業圓滿，家庭幸福。◎簡易愛情分析，您是屬於雙方平等，保持距離的愛情。您的愛情不是屬於濃情密意的那一型，反而有一點像朋友，雙方地位比較平等，相互間追求一種平衡。您不是小鳥依人、百依百順的女生，也不容易找到很聽話的男生。◎您愛情的模式，根據命理分析，在您生命中出現的異性，常常第一眼就很容易喜歡上您，只要對方追得到您，您們的愛情會火速發展，雖然感覺很甜蜜，但不容易長久，常常半途而歸，因為要從頭到尾都維持相同的熱度確實有點難。一般來說，異性對您的第一印象都會覺得很不錯，尤其您有才幹又有魅力。但是隨著交往時間越長，您的熱情不再，衝勁不再，新鮮感不再，取而代之的是爭執，雙方都不願意退讓。換句話說，您很容易被人喜歡，因為得天獨厚，所以也就不太滿足現在擁有的。相反地，您的戀愛對象對於您會非常滿意，如果您要分手，他會死纏爛打來維繫感情。因此，如果您在等待美好的愛情，您可以試著把自己的外在美收斂起來，讓對方不是只因為看到您的青春美貌或聰明才幹而跟您交往，而是要對方真心覺得適合您才跟您交往。如此之前的桃花都會煙消雲散，而真正的愛情也將降臨。在人生的旅程中，您的戀愛或結婚對象很容易出現，多半是「近水樓台先得月」，因為常常在住家附近，學校，社團，或是工作場合見面而認識，一不小心就天雷勾動地火，迸出愛的火花。至於，結婚的對象，因為比較早熟的結果，因此您很有可能會早婚。若是您到現在，對象還沒有出現，您身邊認識的人中，長得最俊俏，長得最帥的那一位就是了，只要您真心誠意給對方一點暗示，幸福就在您身邊。◎簡易事業分析，您的工作類型大部分都需要專業，從事一些技術導向的工作。這類型的工作，需要專業知識，經驗累積，以技術為導向。◎每一個行業中都有不同的職位，而您的工作類型，不論在哪一個行業中發展，大部分都需要專業，從事一些技術導向的工作。例如，財務、金融、會計、資訊、工程、律師、法務、顧問等擁有專門技術的工作。這類型的工作，需要專業知識，經驗累積，以技術為導向。如果您選擇從事這類型工作，您會比較順利，輕鬆，也更能發揮所長。但是世界上跟您一樣有專業的人很多，唯有不斷進步才有無可取代的價值。另外，您的工作類型容易產生下列迷思。一、越是專業的人多半從本位角度思考，不容易跟其他領域的人溝通。二、越是專業的人越不喜歡油腔滑調，阿諛奉承，除非上司有眼光，否則不容易得到提拔。三、越是專業的人只專注於自己的領域，對於其他領域缺乏興趣，所以一旦進入領導階層，在整體策略上，容易見樹不見林。此外，對於其他工作領域，像是文化藝術的工作，協調整合的工作，瑣碎事務的工作，或體力勞動的工作，都是您比較不適合的工作類型，您會覺得乏味無趣，不願意做，也做不久。◎簡易財運分析，您每次缺錢，很自然就會有錢進來。未來的您，很會賺錢，但也很會花錢。◎根據命理分析，您每次缺錢，很自然就會有錢進來。未來的您，很會賺錢，也很會花錢。您從很年輕的時候就知道錢財的重要性，因此您會比一般人更早開始理財，所以當別人在揮霍金錢，享受生命的時候，您在計劃未來，所以未來自然能夠累積更多的財富。此外，您天生比較精明，不會在不必要的地方花錢，但是您會有許多計畫性的支出，您也希望未來能夠自己當老闆，有自己的事業。如果以一生的時間來衡量，您今生大部份的財富會被您儲蓄起來，或是理財，或是置產，或是投資創業，或是投資自己。之後，這些財富大半會遺留給夫家。

I am looking forward to leave.
I am looking forward to leave.
Back from Rome
Went to Rome and Vatican for a long weekend... It is amazing....Rome and the Vatican has always been the dream place I wanted to go for a very long time.
Going to the Holy City, is like a dream come true for a Catholic. And there I was, finally standing in the St Peter Square, looking at the St Peter Basilica. I felt...completed. It was a strange feeling. And when I got into the St Peter Basilica, I was stunned by the peacefullness I felt there. I felt calm...it was a feeling I have never felt before!!
After my trip to the Vatican city, I walked to the other attractions like the Pantheon, Colosseum, Piazza Spanda, Piazza Novona... etc. And I had a couple of nice Italian coffee, and of course Italian food, and they were supurb!!
(N.B. Nearly got pick-pocket)

Stressed?.... it is just the beginning
I am feeling a bit stressed lately.... I have just been organising myself on information about registering as a pharmacist in Hong Kong. The more I read about it, the more I am stressed.
I have to sit and pass THREE exams in order to get registered. And knowing myself... I am not exactly the exam genius.... in fact... I absolutely hate sitting exams... and I hate to fail the exams.... but again, I like the challenge it gives me as well.... (typical of me!!)
I guess I really need to study hard for the exams... but I better enjoy my holiday first!! Then, after my lovely holiday in December, I better train myself as if I am in the military camp....
As I said... it is just the beginning

Achievement of the day
Whoa... I have done 3 medicine use reviews today..... I think I am ahead of the other teams... but I shouldn't slow down, otherwise they will catch me up soon.
7 more to go!!!!
...umm....I think I am converting the energy of missing my partner to getting more medicine use reviews (MURs) done.. Is it a good thing? Or is it a bag thing?

Meeting with team manager
Well.... soon after my review from yesterday, I have organized a meeting with my team manager, to work out plans to improve our dispensary procedures. (I must say... this is very efficient of me!!)
Basically, can't really do much at this stage because the store manager doesn't really want to change anything before the end of year. But we did worked out some solutions to help with communication issues, and decided to hold up the weekly meeting.
I am actually quite surprised that they have no idea how to set up systems for meetings, have no idea what it is about, have no template for the meeting minutes, how it is suppose to work, and it is such a BIG organization!!! I guess I really have to work hard to get the message through, to my team (so that when I leave for good, they know what to do) and to convince the store manager that we must continue with the weekly meeting. (She was going to cancel the weekly meeting, can you imagine that?)
Thus I found out that, before I came onboard to become a permanent pharmacist there, it was really a big mess! HONESTLY! No organizational skills, no communications, and no systems at all!!! And the team manager actually was hoping I will stay there forever, so that the place will be organized. Haha!!!
I guess I have to write down how I am going to tackle this 'disorganized organizations'... how ridiculous!!
It will definitely be a big challenge for me

Review?
Had a review with my two managers... quite a nice review I have had.... based on performance and achievements....
Went through quite a few issues involving my dispensary environment and worked out solutions for quite a few problems as well. I am quite satisfy with the outcomes.
And of course, the most important thing is that both of my managers recognised my contributions towards the company (after a short 6 months) and therefore, they are promoting me to become a consultant pharmacist. (sounded quite good for my CV - but... too bad... will have to wait until next year for a pay-rise.... and by then, I'll be long gone. But that doesn't matter. )
My goals for the rest of the year (ending in March) is to be the best known pharmacist to have done the most medicine use reviews on my beloved patients, helped my dispensary staffs to become the best team within the group, and of course, help all my staffs to get the incentives and the highest pay-rise we could get!! - I think my goals are easily achievable!!
I feel that I have achieved something great so far in these short six months, and that I have learnt quite a lot, both personally and professionally, got appreciation from my two bosses. What more can I ask for? Being a pharmacist is always what I wanted, and I love my job, and I get the self-appreciation while I am on the job anyway. Thus, in the end, I have gained quite a lot than what I expected, which is better than any other rewards!!)

Got the job!!!! Yeah
When I was told that you have got the job, I was so happy that I want to hug you and kiss you right away (unfortunately, i wasn't beside you).
Yvonne babe, I am so proud of you. And I am glad that you have got the job you really like.
Don't worry about me, I will drop you off to work, pick you up for lunch and pick you up after work. I promise. I will make myself busy that way, and to be honest, I think I will really enjoy that... and of course being a house-wife.
Muah... muah... muah...
(I am so excited for you that I kept smiling like a silly person at work today)

When I am feeling down
When I am feeling down, I have to tell myself ' it will be over soon'.
When I am feeling down, I have to tell myself.... 'you better start counting down the days'
When I am feeling down, I have to tell myself...' you better start packing up your things and get ready to fly over'
When I am feeling down, I look at the pictures and videos that we have taken together, they made me feel better
When I am feeling down, I have to be strong... because I know that it is just a temporary thing....
I know that...after these tough days, I'll see my angel waiting for me on the other side....
There's always light in the end of the tunnel. Never give up my faith!!

Wedding
22/11/06
I went to my family friend's wedding in London yesterday. It was a very nice wedding reception, met the groom finally, quite a nice guy. And my friend was wearing a very nice wedding gown. And suddenly, that made me realised.... the most beautiful thing that could happen to a girl is that...she is marring the man she loves, and in her beautiful wedding gown!! I could see the happiness in my friends' eyes. That is the moment of determination, the moment of foreverness.
Then I wondered how Yvonne would look like in a wedding gown... it was just a thought... and would I be lucky enough to be the person in her eyes at that particular moment?

Trip to Milan
19/11/06-20/11/06
-Caught the earliest flight to Milan-Bergamo Airport. Bergamo is a small airport, but it is not too far away from the city of Milano
- Took the airport shuttle to the Statione Centro
- Met up my two friends in Milan. Apparently, they have already done heaps of shopping the day before I arrived. They have been to Prada, Gucci... etc... you name them, they've probably been there!!
- Then, decided to have a very nice Italian lunch, so we went to this posh restaurant and I had a salad called San Remo
- Finally, I was shown how to take the metro (underground train), and we went to Duomo, there's the Duomo Cathedral, and Piazza Duomo
- Those two girls just went crazy with their camers when we got there, started taking a couple of pictures and then the nice shops finally caught their attention and there we go... shopping!!!
-We basically shopped the whole day and the girls just couldn't get enough. We went to almost every single shop.... and of course my friends came out with bunches of stuffs in the hands.
-After all the shopping, we decided to have dinner (by the time, it was almost 8pm) and we went to this Italian Restaurant which my friends said it is always packed of people, and that it must be quite a nice place to have dinner.
- We ordered a salami piazza, seafood spaghetti, a salad and a bottle of red wine. God... that wine is a very good wine. Me and my friend just finished the whole bottle between the two of us.
The one thing I noticed when I was shopping in Milan, is that Italian (or Milanian) seem to love shopping with their dogs. Normally, dogs won't be allowed into any shops... but you can see people taking their dogs into those Gucci ... Prada shops... I think it is just eye-opening. And Italian men... oh... they are quite good looking and well dressed.... and they love shopping as well... I could see quite a lot of guys shopping with their dogs as well. I guess shopping with dogs is just another fashion statment in Milano.
Talking about those shops... all the shops in Milan are just hugh... and just a Zara store would have at least 5 stories... so you can imagine the other shops... but regardless of the size of the shop... they are still packed with people and their dogs!!
The trip to Milan is an eye opening experience, but I would really like to go there with my partner, Yvonne. When I was there shopping with my friends, I could just imagine how excited Yvonne would be when she sees all those things...... and I am sure I will bring her there one day.

[轉帖]Khalil Gibran的作品﹕什么是愛
Khalil Gibran非常生動地描述了愛情：愛情可以給您帶上皇冠，也可以送您去斷頭台。愛情會滋潤你成長，也會斷送您而使您滅亡。愛情會攀登您生命之樹的最高一枝，而情吻您受陽光之普育而心奮的枝葉。愛情也同樣會占据生命中最深之處，斷除您生命之根基，使您离開本土。
您就是滿地的散麥，愛情會將您捆綁。
愛情不停地敲打您，使您脫离麥草而赤裸。
愛情將您拋向天空，不斷楊場而篩選。
然后帶您到磨房，放在兩石之間磨成面。
愛情把您和成面，放入神圣的烈火。
把您烤熟放在餐桌上，變成神圣的食品。
愛情就是這樣一個過程。她會讓您認識自己，衹有在這一過程中，您將會成為生命和心靈的一部分。也就是說，舉世聞名的愛情之歌功頌德者，就是這樣描述了神祕的愛情。的确，對愛情做出明确的解釋很難。深刻的理解愛情的含義更難。在每一個人頭腦中，對愛有著不同的理解和不同的定義。大部分人，會突然的愛上一個陌生人。如果詢問這些戀愛者，您愛上了對方的何處？他們也許會做不出，很具体地回答。但這一問題，對戀愛者的雙方來說非常清楚，雙方彼此都會非常敬重對方。這是誰也不能夠否定的，絕對的事實。
無論愛情何等的奧秒和神祕，她衹是，您心目中和感覺上的一個過程。她總會体現于您的軀体。在您的生活中重复。Gibran描繪的實際上也衹是，愛的一种具体形式。愛的其他形式在人類的生命中祕密地存在著。
愛情是一种自我的表現，愛情是一种自我的滿足。愛情是一种需要，或者是需要的滿足。愛情是一种傾向于祕密的轉換和公開的過渡。不管怎么說，如果您愛上具体的一個人，您會感覺到，在您的軀体上會產生著，意想不到的，許多變化。您也會意識到，自己身上的變化是前所未有的。如果這种現象，在您的生活中產生，也就是說，您在戀愛。那些現象的本身就是愛。無論這种异常的現象，是長期的，或者是短期的，無論是痛苦的，或者是歡樂的﹔她都會成為，您生命中的一种財富。將永遠的銘刻在您的心中。
總而言之，您作為一個，有著生命和靈魂的人類，在一生中，不談戀愛是絕對不可能的。愛情就象陽光，無論您怎樣關閉您的心靈，她都會找机會照射進來。愛情將披荊斬棘，所向披靡的。所以，我將給您的忠告是：不要為了對愛下定義而枉費心机。您的心以及您的生活，將會告訴您，對愛情最為合适的定義。

Gone
Finally..... it's been six months since we have arrived UK.
When me and Yvonne went to London this Saturday, I didn't really feel that she is going to leave this place. I knew she needs to go. Today, when I finally had to send her off to the airport, saw her checking in at the counter, walked her to the departure gate....I suddenly felt that... this is 'IT'---- I finally had to say goodbye to her.
I knew I will see her again when I go back to HK in December, I knew it is just a short time away from each other...I knew I shouldn't feel sad about all this... but I am!
We have been through so many things together. Like....arriving in the UK, getting ourselves to the hotel in Beccles, , getting a flat in Norwich, buying a car, getting to London, shopping for groceries, having a cup of coffee on our lazy sundays, travelling around UK, going to Santorini together... We did all these things together!!!!
And when I had to take the airport express back to London city, take the underground, then take the train back to Norwich... I felt that there's something missing... I am missing Yvonne by my side.
Although Yvonne is gone... for a short while... I will still have to live the best of my life... and be strong for Yvonne. I promise.

Trip to Santorini, Greece
I am getting more excited these days as it is just about 7 days until me and my partner head off to Greece.
The place we are going is called Santorini (仙度雲尼島) in Greece, and staying at a small town called Perissa, which is in the South East of the Santorini Island. I am looking forward to watch the sunset in Oia (pronounce as Ee-ar 伊亞 ), because the sunset is 'the best' in the world. Looking from the steep hill in Oia over to the volcano, with the deep blue colour of the Aegean Sea. I think it will be superb!!

"How do you solve a problem like Maria?"
Just a while ago, I was just watching an english TV show called 'How do you solve a problem like Maria?'
The show was about auditing a group of young girls and judge who can be the Maria Von Trapp in the Sound of Music- starring in the London West-End theatre.
It just happened to be the semi-final of the show, the judges were just commenting on one of the 'Maria' Siohban "Beautiful Maria" and Andrew Lloyd Webber commented Siohban as "delicious".....
THEN..... my lovely partner, Yvonne, asked if I find her 'delicious'?.........
to be honest, I find her more 'mouth- watering' than delicious!!!
(FINALLY... the show ended with Connie being "the Maria".... Congrad.!!

I am back... from Sydney
Whoa... I couldn't believe that I am back from Sydney, back from my dream and back to reality. I had the most wonderful days there with my angel.
We went to Paddy's market, Taronga Zoo, The Sydney Botanical Garden, The Blue Mountains, Sydney Opera House, The Rock, Darling Harbour... and I felt like we didn't have enough time to spend with each other, although we stayed there for 5 days. {Sigh} No wonder some people says, when you have a good time, you feel like time flies.
God.... I think I am still dreaming and I wish I will never wake up from this dream.

Offer......
My manager just offered me a deal to stay on-board. It sounds like a pretty good deal, pay rise, pay for my post-graduate studies, return airfares to UK for 6 weeks registration.
The package sounds good.
Shall I take it? Or shall I not?

過客
在我們的生命旅程中﹐最常會遇到的是我們的生命過客。有些...會出現得很長久﹐ 一直陪伴著我們成長﹐一直陪伴我們走﹐直到走到最後。有些...出現得很短暫﹐消失得很快...但他們所留下的足印﹐卻令我們一生難忘。
