Bonjour!

Tu as bien?

I have done a quick calculation - in the past few years, I have spent around 300 hours on French learning, not very much time, but definitely not a short period.  Awkwardly, I have had never put a foot onto the soil of L'Hexagon.

Yesterday, an advertisement of three 2-week French immersion trips popped up in my email.  It was so tempting!!  Acceptable fee, reasonable school time, host family staying and captivating sight-seeing sum up a perfect gateway at the perfect right time timing (during the kids' summer holiday, a good escape from heavy parenting duty), but how can I put all burdens to my beloved hubby's shoulders, in terms of financial support and child caring?  In Chinese, we describe this as "無義氣"!

And the most important is, I want to sail along La Seine with you, my hubby!

Hopefully, there will be one day... hopefully.

恐懼

人們都應有免於恐懼的自由。

Star Wars 中的尤達大師其中一句名言就是"Fear is the path to the dark side, fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering"。

當一個地方的人每天活於惶恐的生活中，他們的精神面貌都變得扭曲，對有權勢的噤若寒蟬，對年輕的窮兇極惡。

2016 New Year's Resolutions

Hello there!

Long time no see my secret garden.  I have experienced all ups and downs in 2015 and now I decided to move on bravely to the new year.

I guess I am a minority because I did achieve my new year resolutions in past years.  It is time to set some goals for myself.

2016 New Year's Resolutions

1. Write more  - both professional writings, sharing, blogs and scripts
2. Be confident - I found I was (and am) far more stronger as I believe
3. Read more especially professional related books
4. Continue my French learning adventure (this does need some confidence and persistence hahah)
5. Be brave to take adventures
6. Drive more
7. Pamper myself - eat well, exercise, use high quality skincare and make up products, buy minimal clothes but in high quality
7. Keep family at the centre of my life, as usual

I do not need a radical change of myself, I am sure all small steps of exploration would lead me to a fruitful 2016.
