Girls talk

Recently one of our secondary school classmates had to had an operation, luckily she recovered well and now is taking rest in home.

Such 'unfortunate' event ironically let all we young ladies stayed together again. We visited this friend and had gathering in the hospital, we had lots of girls talks, like what we did frequently during secondary school period. One of us teased that we just took this excuse (someone's operation) to meet each others.

Then I was updated that our classmates are working in various fields, like social workers, business, mass media, flight attendants, insurance, etc. Not many of us got married, some are having stable boyfriends, several of them are strugging in chaotic love affairs, quiet a number of them work quite well in their jobs, others decided to live or study oversea to explore the plaent. I feel so amazed that we were still schoolmates from the same school 10 years ago, now all of us are having diversified life path.

Ladies, hope you all the best. God loves you and have a wonderful plan in your life!!

Singing in the rain

It keeps raining for several weeks. I feel so hungry! (Yes, there is no correlation between the first and second sentence).

I love cooking. After we moved out from our parent's home, Jeff and I rarely dine out, especially during the weekends. We love to cook whatever we love to eat, for example, I always make soup with apple.

I just realize that I also have potentials to be a good mother, at least I know how to cook.

People in different life stage will have different thought about life. A person in 28 years old could have endless possibilities. You could be surprised by countless things in this world because you are still very young and embrace curiosity. I want to think out of the box and act out of the box, I want to explore my endless possibility.

Life is not dull, only what you think make yourself dull, remember that perception is actually a self-constructed subjective feeling, it helps you to understand the world, but it is not a reality or an absolute truth. Widen your heart and you could embrace the whole world.

Be faithful to myself

I supposed to have a really work-free and relaxing weekend, but a phone call from 'someone' almost ruined it.

She phoned me in the afternoon and told me to be careful as I had not signed up for an extra work. She sounded so helpful and caring, but I did wonder her intention. After I finished the phone call, I felt so upset and miserable, I wondered if it is my fault for not signing up that extra work.

Jeff saw that I was so depressed, actually I had been pressurized for quite a long time. I had my own thought and my own philosophy, but suddenly I started to think if my philosophy is not applicable in this real world. When I started crying, Jeff asked me to stop. He urged me to believe myself, to trust my talent, and to listen to my own thought, don't compromise with other's ridiculous expectation, otherwise I will lost myself, and people will torture me more.

And I know that job is not everything of my life. Rather, job is the least important things comparing with my family, my health and my wisdom. I don't want my family to be upset because I ignore him and only concentrate on my work.

I found that I discuss such kind of topic in this diary for almost a year, a bit pathetic, isn't it?

I should be faithful to myself, to believe the 'force', like what Jedi do.

Torture

Kelly had gone crazy today. Her emotion fluctuates like period, in monthly basis. Today Miss R offered her internal presentation, she got a conceptual mistake on a slide. Our flammable Kelly felt extremely frustrated instantly and scolded her in front of all colleague, then we all research executives were the next victims. Kelly commented that we are hopeless and 'bloody', yes, she used the coarse language to describe her employees. I wonder if a boss has the right to insult his/her employees and deprived their dignity just because he/she is the one who pays the bloody salary?! Could that limited amount buy the respect which we deserve to get?

Then someone just comments that among all regional offices of our company, research executives in Hong Kong are inferior comparing with other regions, it is because the education system molded us to be less competitive. Frankly, I do think this is bullshit. I don't think we are inferior, yes, we are different from colleagues from other countries, but each of us has our own talent and strengths, each of us is special.

We are so proud of Miss R that even Kelly screwed up her presentation at the very beginning, she could hold back her tears and managed to complete the presentation with strong confidence. Three cheers to her.

Can this case explain why the employee loyalty is so low among Hong Kong working class? I believe what happened in our company today is not an unique case.

Have a nice day!!

Feel that I have an obligation to contribute some positive energy to this cyber world. I wish to tell everyone that I enjoy today so much!!

Today, I boosted up my productivity to maximum and finished two work tasks. I could manage to leave office around 6:45pm.

I had a lunch with my friends this afternoon, we talked a lot.

I received a comment of last piece of diary from my lovely classmate Billie - she was the first classmate who sit next to me when we were in form 1.

Jeff and I had a very nice dinner in a Japanese restaurant, yummy!!

Then I sit on my bed and am writing this diary. A totally normal day but it is so cool!!

Stay healthy and young

As I had suffered from flu and cold on and off, I made up my mind to keep myself healthy and young. Herebelow are the tips from elderly wisdom, book and my experience.

1. Sleep well - both quality and quantity should be concerned. To have a nice sleep, I try to have a cup of hot chamomile tea with honey before going bed, the sweet aroma helps me to relax
2. Exercise - Practise yoga or other aerobic exercise at least 3 times a week, at least 30 minutes each time.
3. Taking supplement - I know that someone reject this idea so much because they believe the nutrients could be gotten from daily dining. However, my smart Daddy suggests Omega 3 fish oil pill does work.
4. Avoid make up if not necessary - frankly, someone could have make up everyday but still have fair skin, but unfortunately, it is not my case. Make up becomes a burden to my face when it lasts a day long. Seems that it is wiser to keep my skin breathes and glows naturally.
5. Pamper myself, facial treatment frequently.
6. Outdoor activities - Staying indoor with strong air conditioner only makes me dull, should absorb golden sunshine during weekend.
7. Reading and watching movie - beautiflying myself internally.
8. Be happy, learn to let go - don't be too serious for every tiny little things, it could just speed up the aging rate and deepen the fine lines on face.
9. And the most important is, having an open mind, accept myself and everyone, should love and care myself!!
