What I only care about is Global Warming

Too much personal stuff to worry, feel so tired and wanna wipe all of it out of mind.

Now I only care about the Global Warming. SCMP today stated we almost reach the highest average temperature of the recent million years, just 1 more degree celsius.

This is not only a Global Warming, but also a Global WARNing.

Does this news make any difference of your life today?

I love this global village, but I still buy take away food.....

I am a lucky thing?

Everyone thinks I am a lucky thing - I have a supportive family, a very nice husband, a lovely kid, and a career.

However, how come I still feel desperated sometimes? I always feel guilty... If I spend time to my family, I worry my work and my colleague; while I work late, I feel bad for not spending quality time to my husband and my baby.

I can imagine how bad is when only the father stays with the kid, but mommy is absent from that picture - if this happens always.

I worry that if I miss out somethings and I don't know at the moment, but when I turn my head back, I will regret for it.

Baby grows much longer and bigger, but I just realized it last night, I really do want to stay with him, I miss him terribly, and I just discovered that I take all the work Jeff done for granted, which is so unfair to him.

Am I a lucky thing?

Working bees' Club

Wow, am sitting in front of my home PC, finished the last piece of work. Many jobs piled up in office but I don't have energy to bother them. Anyway, I finished somethings I targetted to complete it by today.

I decided to bring work back home because I want to stay with my baby, even though he becomes more friendly to his nanny than to me.... It is kinda pathetic but I have to accept it. No one asks me to be a working mom but just myself. My family told me my baby will recognize me as his REAL mother, when he grows a bit older.

Today is Jelly's birthday. Our clients threw a surprise party in their place, right before a phone conference. I assumed that someone over the phone will send a distance greeting to him by singing a birthday song, but finally no one did that.

Another two meetings tomorrow, am thinking about how to schedule my 'milk production' slot.

Somewhere over the rainbow

Jeff took this photo yesterday. A rainbow emerged over the Tolo Harbour, what a dreamy view.

After he saw the rainbow, Jeff rushed back to office and bought a mark six, because he assumed seeing a rainbow is a sign of luck.

Well, you can expect the result... today we should get back to our working place as usual.

Anyway, the weather is getting a bit well today!

Shake Shake

Can't believe Earthquakes can happen in Hong Kong.

Last night an earthquake reached Richter scale 3.5 struck Hong Kong. People felt the tremor in Wong Chuk Han. The epicentre was in Dangan Island.

What ashame that I had no idea about the earthquake history of Hong Kong, as a Geography student. Anyway, I got the following information from this morning SCMP:

The strongest earthquake to strike Hong Kong was on February 13, 1918, measuring 8 on the Richter scale. Damage in the city was light but 1,000 people were killed in Shantou, Guangdong.
The second-strongest quake, on September 16, 1994, measured 6.5, 50 times less strong than the 1918 one, rattling the city for 30 seconds.

Boring

I am having a KFC lunch alone, frankly, very lonely.

It's better to sit with my friends, at least we can talk silly things when we are bored to death.

Don't know when the rain will stop.

Tomorrow my whole company will have an incentive tour to Burma, but I will not join, because I cannot drop my part-time job - milk production.

That means I will be more lonely tommorrow and next Monday. Anyway, I guess I can get use to it.

Sigh, really have no mood today, hope I could finish my work earlier this evening.

Yesterday

Yesterday I saw a women matched her shoes and dress perfectly - both in dotty pattern, same colours.

Yesterday I finished the reading of 'Size 12 is not fat' by Meg Cabot. Don't know it is a detective story before, but still very amusing as her others' books. I will pick another book to read tonight.

Yesterday I received the confirmation letter for a salary increment. Not a big fat one, but out of my expectation. It is worth to celebrate... you know, in your life you may not be that lucky to have many chances to be surprised by the salary increment, right?

That's why my father-in-law keeps saying human should run their own business, not being employed.... But the weakness of this theory is - if everyone becomes a boss, who would work for them?

Have no mood to work today, the office is freezy, had heavy downpour this morning.

Challenge

Yesterday I planned to offer a training to the new hirers, then it turned out the three boses put their noses into it and sit in the presentation. It could be a really stressful situation because I didn't expect them to audit it and it was foreseeable that they would challenge me for the sake of challenging me, but I still performed pretty stable, at least my heart did not bounced like a wide horse.

Except, I broke the laser pointer when I played with it nervously.

The presentation was not perfect at all but I think they had positive comment on it, and I do have some important learnings from this whole process... such as... don't try to argue with you audience sometimes, bear in mind that this is not a pure academic discussion like what we did in school, in order to strive for the truth.

Instead, presentation in market research is much more about how to manage your audience and to be aware of the dynamic inside.

I will let them know their salary increment to me is worth!

Autumn arrives

Am in good mood because the weather is extremely comfortable. Cool breeze blows across my face every morning. The temperature drops slightly to around 24 -28 degree. Isn't it very nice?

Last weekend I indulged myself with a luxurious facial treatment, and went to the park on weekend with Lucas. Just wonder that I become a complete mom now - bring kids to park on Sunday and cut off all those late night activities - it sounds not that cool, but more healthy, right?

Should maintain a good mood because it would be a big waste if you feel sad in such fine days. Not many comfortable days in a year in Hong Kong... thanks to the sub-tropical monsoon climate and the air pollution!

Beautiful vs. Pretty

What is the difference between these two words? These are my definitions:
Pretty - sweet, good looking, cute, young
Beautiful - stunning, gorgeous, irresistable, elegant, charming, brilliant, chrismatic

I always feel 'pretty' is an adjective for 'girl' only, while 'beautiful' always come with 'woman'. There are many pretty girls in the world, but much less beautiful women, it is because 'Beauty' is not only about the outlook, but also the sustance inside.

For example, if Nicole Kidman is beautiful, Jessica Simpson is pretty.
If Maggie Cheung is beautiful, myself is pretty. Hahahahah, just kidding, but I mean it, hahahaha!!!

You can give me some examples, it should be interesting!!

TGIF again!!!

The world is so lovely because God made the world in 7 days, except the Sabbath day (Sunday), you could have one day break in a week. Then, my bosses give us another free working day on Saturday.

In all of my previous jobs, I worked 5.5 days/per week, it is a bit painful because you don't have this 'Thanks God It Friday' feeling on Friday, and you don't want to hang out with friends in Friday nights because you have to wake up early on Saturday morning.

If I really wanna change my job, I will definitely look for those 5 days work only. Just a gut feeling, the employers of those 5 days works are more considerate and respect the staff's personal time.

I book a facial treatment tomorrow afternoon, I haven't had it since I was pregnant, it's time to pamper myself!!!!!

Jude Law guy

Just read Samantha's Xanga, she said she has a client looks like Jude Law..... How come I haven't seen anyone with Jude Law look appeared in our office before??

Not sure if she is talking about OUR British client we tele-communicated with last Friday - he has a strong British accent (of course, it is nothing special unless he has a strong HongKonger's accent), we raised him a nick-name Mark Darcy.

However, last time Ally told me he is alike the new Super Man, instead of Jude Law.... Wow, look like either of them is very okay, I think!!

When I was small...

...I was a copy of my dad.
