Last day

This is my last day working here, surprisingly I didn't feel so sad leaving here. I'm really looking forward for the new job. Wish me good luck!

But I really miss my colleagues here... It's so great that I've made so many friends in the workplace, in which I've never expected!

Thanks for the memories you have given to me, please keep in touch!


My last day as an EGG

綺貞 . Macau

喜歡綺貞的live, 真的很正!

更棒的是, 原本在露天廣場的免費演唱會, 竟然因天雨關係, 改為在劇場舉行, 等了兩個半小時的我們更可以坐第二行!!!
澳門文化中心的工作人員又安排一個室內的房間讓我們等候, 換了在香港一定由得我們在烈日下曝曬/風吹雨打...
那裡的工作人員真的十分好人, 演唱會後第二天我們再到那裡央求綺貞的poster, 二話不說便給了兩張! :D

綺貞老了, 更有女人味, 但歌聲依然動聽. (還有她新燙的曲髮~)
期待她的新CD, 還有3天~~


my lovely 綺貞

運氣

今天,我終於明白什麼是運氣.

有時不只是三成能力,七成運氣... 如果有十成運氣,有能力與否已變得次要.

不過,上天是公平的.
我信有得必有失,只是我看不見而已.

Happy yet NERVOUS

Glad that my training is coming to an end in one month's time.
Hurray, no more log book and reports!

Yet another challenge is coming - I'll be in a new job afterwards.
Though really happy, I'm getting a bit nervous after accepting the offer. In the past 3 years, I could seek my colleagues' advice and comments, and they endure my mistakes and wrongs as I'm still a graduate trainee. I'm not sure if I can meet my new boss's expectation and do well on my own.

I really need more confidence.
I should trust my ability, rite?
Cheer up, wylie!!

New Page of Life

As another two of my lunch buddies will leave the office, we had a dinner tonight as some kind of 'farewell' functions.

The dinner was crazy. But we all enjoyed and had a wonderful night. Frankly, we just laughed all the way and didn't know what exactly we ate!

Sadly, they were leaving (some already left) coz of current office policy, but I'm glad that they have their new career, and starting a new journey of life.

Good luck to all of you~

I'll miss our times in GEO!

Album of the Month

Although I no longer have summer vacation, I am really having summer vacation when listened to this album: sunny and relaxing.

The simple arrangement with acoustic guitar gives you a sudden feeling of enjoying the sea breeze at the beach, escaping from the heavy work...

Sunshine is wonderful if you don't need to work!! (especially struggling with awlful site work under the burning sun, oh, I'll out to site tomorrow again!!!!)

Highly recommended: Good People, Belle


Jack Johnson - In Between Dreams

我的豆瓣!

It's fun to have a review on movies, music and books you've come across.
I just love this idea!

I work very hard for the past 2 days, just to input the film I've watched, and music I've heard.
There's still a lot of movies, songs and books I'd like to read...

to be continued... (for the rest of my life)

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!!!!

I have always longed for a movie for this wonderful fiction, and it comes to reality!
It's just soooo great!
I think Tim Burton is the right person for directing this film, who is well-known for his strength in managing highly imaginative stories.
Johnny Deep exactly matches my image of Willy Wonka: weird, strange-looking but smart!

Roald Dahl is my favourite children fiction writer, his stories are simple but always to the point. Thanks to Quentin Blake, you can extend your imagination of the characters through his illustrations.

It would be so great if we can really have: ice-cream that won't melt under the sun, chewing gum with all taste, and the amazing chocolate factory with Oompa-loompas (surely better than Disneyland...)

It'll be showing on 11thAug, still have a month to wait...

P.S. By the way, my nickname in ICQ comes from one of the character in this story, do check it out! :P

話劇

五年後再上劇院看話劇, 遙遠的親切感又回來了.

多年前因為謝君豪愛上話劇,五年後因為一張地鐵海報令我有再回到劇院.
以前只看有謝君豪,蘇玉華,及羅冠蘭的,那是fans效應.

這次只有四個話劇團演員,一個佈景由頭做到尾,也一樣好看.
這麼簡單的場景和角色也只有話劇可以做到.

其實,只要有故事,演員交戲,比那些無聊電視劇好看十陪.

Just sooo great to sleep as much as I could!

Just haven't written for some while. I was busy reading a new book, my review will be coming soon~ so keep check here!

Hope everyone's enjoying this great weekend (with sunshine, finally!)

Finally... lovely clouds!

誰在寬容誰?

This is a forward message received long long time ago. Sometimes, we are doing exactly the same thing towards our friends, or even someone we don't know...

一天晚上，有個女孩在機場等候飛機，離起飛還有幾個小時，於是她在機場商店找了一本書，買了一袋甜餅乾之後找了個地方坐下。　
她酷愛讀書，所以聚精會神的沉浸在書?，卻無意中發現，那個坐在她身邊的男人，竟未經允許就從他們中間的袋子?抓起一兩塊甜餅，塞進嘴裡。
她試著迴避這件事，避免在大庭廣眾發怒。她繼續讀著書，並使勁嚼著餅乾， 看著時間─ ─當那個偷餅賊繼續消耗她的甜餅的時候。時間一分一秒地過去， 她也越來越氣憤，她想:“我要不是這樣寬容，一定當眾讓他出出醜，可惡的偷吃別人餅乾的人！”　
每當她拿一塊甜餅，他也跟著拿一塊。當只剩下最後一塊時，她猜測他會怎麼做。他的臉上浮現出善良的微笑，並略帶拘謹，他拿起最後那塊甜餅，並把它分成了兩半。　
他遞給她半塊，自己開心的吃著手中的另一半。女孩從他手中搶過那半塊餅，心想：“天啊，這傢伙還挺有意思，他無禮的吃了我的餅乾，連聲謝謝都不說一句。”
當她的航班通知登機時，她如釋重負地鬆了口氣，收拾起自己的行李走向門口，並拒絕回頭看一眼那個吃她甜餅而且忘恩負義的傢伙。　
她登上飛機，舒適的坐在座位上，! 然後找到那本快看完的書，當她把手伸進皮包時，她意外而吃驚的摸到了一袋沒有開封的甜餅！！！！　
如果這是我的，她後悔地自言自語道，那剛才另一包就該是他的，而他卻盡力與我分享本屬於他的甜餅！　
可是已經太遲了，她無法道歉了。飛機進入雲層，她望著厚厚的雲層，心情是那樣的沉重和難受，那個忘恩負義的偷餅人竟然是自己。
生活?， 很多人養成了習慣，不斷在以懷疑的眼光審視著身邊的人，哪怕那些和自己一點關係也沒有的陌生人。我們甚至還懷疑自己是否受到了那些善良陌生人的“挑釁和侮辱”。在我們深深地厭惡這些身邊人的時候，是否會想到， 我們也許誤解了他人。…

Sunbathing

I missed the sunbathing weekends we had last year. We woke up early in the morning, drove to the beach, and enjoyed the nap under the wonderful sunshine.

This year, we can have a new place to sunbathe! No need to travel a long way. :)

Just hope it won't rain so heavily during the weekend!!

Day 21

Thankz god, still have 21 hours and it's over.

I know, everything will be back to normal.

All I have to do is WAIT...

Day 19

昨天是媽媽生日,我的堂弟妹們給媽媽送上香吻,很溫馨,逗得媽媽很開心.

做女兒的我卻只會說句"生日快樂"...

年紀大了,越來越沒有勇氣表達自己的感受,自己的愛,尤其在家人身上.

勇氣,你到哪裡去了?

********************

做人要知足常樂
willie, 謝謝你的提醒.

********************

我捕捉精采的畫面
可是一閉上眼 顏色就褪掉了
我穿上最舒適的t-shirt
可是一脫下來 身體都僵硬了

我選擇我最想要的
可是一個人呢 反而笑開了
我丟棄對我最好的
可是一關上燈 全部都回來了

直到有一天 我徹底昏睡了
我太累了 我放開了
直到有一天 我失去了
太矛盾(狼狽)了 眼淚掉下來了

百分之八十完美的日子 - 陳綺貞

5. 美國餐廳裡,三叔的咖啡與煙,和我的洋蔥湯的氣味
6. 表哥的"獅子頭"與他的綿羊仔(只是玩具!)
7. 相機快門的聲音
8. 三叔的結他,四叔的小提琴...
...

這些就是我吧...

Day 10

I think most ladies have experienced the painful long queue in order to 'answer the call of nature' when hanging out. Although hygiene has been improved in the recent years, sometimes we'll avoid using the toilets due to 'wonderful' smell.

The following is an interesting article about public toilets:
By the way, I didn't know there's an association for Toilets, haha.. :)


Adapted from SCMP
Guidelines fail to close the lid on toilet furore

The newly improved ratio between male and female public toilets has failed to please women - and a man has come out in their support.

In a recently released code for new shopping arcades, department stores and entertainment areas, the Buildings Department says the ratio should be increased from 1:1 to 1:1.25 - or five women's toilets for every four for men.

But Hong Kong Federation of Women chairwoman Peggy Lam Pei Yu-dja said yesterday the ratio was insufficient and should be increased. "There just aren't enough toilets for ladies, no matter at the airport or public places," she said. "First of all, shoppers are mainly females. And ladies need more time to use the bathroom. Men can finish their business much quicker."

Hong Kong Toilet Association vice-president Lo Wing-lok said a study last month found the ideal ratio was 1:2. "We observed that on average a man takes 70 seconds while a woman needs 96 seconds," he said. "The 1:1.25 ratio is not enough."

Women's Coalition for Equal Opportunity spokeswoman Christina Wong Wai-yin said the ratio should be based on the amount of time spent by the sexes in toilets.
"Female toilets aren't women-friendly and hygiene is a problem," she said. Women had to "master the skill of sitting on an empty chair" to avoid touching the seat.

A Buildings Department spokesman said the 1:1.25 ratio had been recommended pending completion of a review of regulations.
"There's an urge to improve the [toilet conditions] and we hope the industry will co-operate as soon as possible," he said.
The spokesman said the ratio was based on the present situation and estimated population growth. It could not be enforced by law.
The existing requirements were developed in the late 1950s.

Many major shopping areas have already improved facilities for women. Sun Hung Kai Properties said it had been improving toilets at its malls over the past three years and the ratio at its malls was 1:2.
Swire Properties said the ratio at its Festival Walk, Pacific Place and Cityplaza malls surpass the department's recommendation.

Mrs Lam suggested the city follow Japan's example, where "machines change the toilet seat cover sheet automatically. This is very hygienic".
She also said there should be more space between wash basins to give women more room to do their make-up.

Day 9

As the eldest grandson of my dad's family, and also the eldest in my own family, I never knew my brother has so many pressure because of me. I even dunno he's living under my shadow...

I thought I am always the first one to blame for if I have done anything different from what was done by my parents/uncles/aunts. On the other hand, I have to look after the younger within my family, or set up a 'good example' for them to follow. Now I realized my brother had shared a similar burden just like what I have. I'm not a responsible sister...

I should have known it earlier... promise will talk and share more with him.

Just visit my friend's blog, totally agree with what she said!
