話說有三姊妹死後上了天堂，在天堂的門口遇見了一位天使…………

天使說：「妳們都是好人，但是要考考妳們聖經才能讓妳們進入天堂。

天使就問大姐說：「世界上的第一個男人是誰？

姊姊想了想說：「亞當。」

噹噹噹噹…………天堂之門打開讓姊姊進去了。

天使再問二姐說：「世界上第一個女人是誰？」

二姐歪著頭想了想：「夏娃。」

噹噹噹噹…………二姐也進入天堂了。

小妹看到兩個姊姊都輕鬆過關了，心想我的問題一定也非常簡單。

天使提出了第三個問題：「夏娃遇見亞當所說的第一句話是什麼？」

妹妹聽了心中涼了半截，她根本沒在聖經裡看過這樣的故事，最後她仰天哀嚎說：「OH，God！it is too hard！！」

噹噹噹噹…………

Second last day in 2011

2011 is a very unstable, scary, exciting, stunning but joyful year for me. It happened a lot of things. My brain is not function very well so that's why I would like to write down all my tearful memories in 2011;

The most important thing was I bought a house and it came with a big loan I have never had it before in my life. I am really not get used to owe something from other people especially money and the economic is very fluctuated in these few years, I was very very stressful and cried at the moment I brought this house. I am not saying I don't like the condition and environment of my house but I feel very guilty not always have a good decision in critical moment. Right now everything has been settled down I hope the housing market won't drop much in 2012 would be fine.

The second important thing was I proposed to Lau-Kit-Yan in 11th Sept and got accepted. It was a even bigger decision than housing but I think it would be a precise and accurate decision I have made in this year. My housing contract was just about 30 years but the contract I have made with Lau-Kit-Yan was about my whole life. Therefore it is not just about an important in 2011 but it is a critical milestone in my stupid life. Since I was a child I have already guessed what will my girlfriend looks like but after year and year, I was tired to think about it because not many girls passing through my life. My imagined ideal girlfriend shape already fade out. When the time I felt hopeless and just wanted to randomly pick a girl in China, I had a chance to meet her, Lau-Kit-Yan. And so I have a chance to extend the story of the completeness of normal human being life cycle.


I have a big project launch in 25th Nov 2012, I wish, I hope, I beg it will be done successfully and it will record down in my important tearful memory in 2012.

Merry X'mas 2011

Luckily we had 4 days X'mas hoiday in 2011, and thanks God I had a very joyful, peaceful, fruitful and busy long weekend. This kind of life style is something I have never tasted before. It makes me really crazy and it also makes me very happy...

Just about 2 years ago I was just a single person without girlfriend, everything was under control because there was not much to control. In the past I was pretty enjoy my life style also but of course I did complain why I do not have a girlfriend to come along with me to celebrate every festival. Right now I have a girlfriend to celebrate every big day but I feel that a lot of things are not under control, it creates more and more responsibilities in my life...

Please, if there is a God borned at 24th Dec, I hope that God can help me to overcome all the problems in 2012. Right now I am not alone, I have a bigger family to take care with. I didn't have much expectation in my past 30 years, but I beg to God that please respect to my hard working to guide me a better career path or frankly speaking please guarantee that I have at least 20% salary increment otherwise I don't know how to survive in this cruel world...

Home Sweet Home

Today is Christmas, although it doesn't mean anything to me, but I have to thank HK gov. to give me 3 days long weekend.

Life can be very simple or very complicated, just depends on how you choose the way to go. But in this cruel world somehow people always loves a wolf more than a sheep. Cathy and I attended a marry registration in a church. Both of them are Christian, they invited a priest to give them a wish. The priest had a very good presentation skill to present what is the meaning of LOVE. His words was very true, LOVE is about a "Long suffering to Obsolate all the wrong and discuss all the wrong Vocally to Encourage each other" Although this is just a funny pazzle about wording (This is always a powerful presentation skill and that's why I hate religion they use mortal to treat mortal, why don't you just show up), this is exactly the right way we have to do. I hope I can always keep it in mind.



Thank you very much for Lau-Kit-Yan to organize a very well home-made dinner for me, Merry X'mas...

Buy apartment walkthrough

1. If there is any apartment we are interested, try to show our respect to agent and request for only minus 5%. Therefore we can have a chance to negotiate with the real owner.
2. Try to get the trust from agent at least don’t let them on the other side. I have to emphasize that just “TRY” because agent will never on any side, they just use any method they can to make the deal and get commission.
3. If there is a chance to meet the owner, this is the critical moment to question as much as we can and point out defect on the apartment:
1. The wall is nearly peeled off.
2. The power cable is already used for a long time.
3. Those locks for windows and doors are not secure any more.
4. Point out which furniture they want and which they don’t want.
5. Switch on all the electronic devices such as air-cond, refrigerator, microwave, washing machine and stove for a couple minutes to make sure they are all workable because it may be included in the apartment.
6. Try the washroom and bathroom to make sure the water pressure is smooth.
4. Try to show we have serious financial problem but this is essential for us to buy a house.
5. After reviewed everything and start to negotiate the price, try to break all the promise from the beginning and ask for at least minus 9% (depend on the economic).
6. No matter what the owner and the agent say, no matter we agree their point of view or not, try to say more and expend the negotiate period for around 30 to 45mins. The point is to make everyone tired and let them know we did try our best on what we need. If at last we can get what we ask for (minus 9%), it is the ideal case, if not we better shout out and say “I am going to leave.”. The point in here is tried to have an objective decision, not just depend on like or not. Apartment is almost the same everywhere, do not jump into the trap created by agent to make any decision in one day.
7. Try to loop step 4 to step 6 for 2~3 times to squeeze for the best price.
8. If there is a chance to sign a contract, make sure the go over all the hardware and furniture again.
1. If the owner would like to take away any of those hanging cabinets on the wall, how they can guarantee it won’t damage the wall without crack.
2. Take as much as pictures on the wall, floor, door-frame, doors, light-bulb, and windows and put it in the contract and let the owner promises that it will be the same quality on handover day.
3. Move away all the furniture which hidden the whole picture of the wall to make sure there is no damage or leakage.
4. Open all the drawers from cabinet to make sure doesn’t go moldy on each corner.
5. Switch on the stove and air-cond few more time to make sure it is workable.

2nd business trip

Just completed the 12 days business trip in San Diego. Actually it was not a business trip, it was about sending 2 illegal workers there for re-inspection a ton of meters. But of course from mouse point of view it was about a jackpot of company autumn journey to release their high work load created by from company. Or I should claim that it was just about a treatment from company to heal any of those stuff who has nega in his brain. Therefore I didn't feel guilty to grab as much as benefits from this trip.

Raymond and I arrived Los Angeles mid-night of 1st Nov. Lucky I had Raymond along, otherwise I was like a handicap without legs who had no way to go to hotel because I didn't have driving licence. This was the first time I was seriously considered to take a driving course in HK soon. We just stayed in Los Angeles a quick night without any sightseeing, then headed to San Diego the next day morning.

We drove 2 hours from Los Angeles to San Diego and reached Alere at 11am. After briefing with Mike Robinson and Dustin Tano, we noticed that we had more units than expected to go through the re-inspection process. And we realized that the warehouse was the place we would stick within these 10days.

After a quick lunch we started to work. What we had to do was opened the battery door from the meter to see if there was any metal part above the plastic compartment which may cause the short circuit, if not, then put it back to carton box. No doubt that everyone will think it was a super easy job but actually this kind of routine job nearly killed me. It was hard to imagine how boring it was to do the same action for 10 hours. We started chatting, listening music and playing cell phone, to do all what we always blame the operators NOT-TO-DO in the factory unfortunately it was what we had to do to awake our brain up. . I did sympathize with what operators did in our factory.

The difference between real mouse and cunning mouse was we always had a plan for our next move. We couldn't waste the chance just stuck in the warehouse for the whole trip. We decided to "work hard" on the weekday and "play hard" on the weekend. So on 2nd Nov to 4th Nov we almost worked until 1opm, even a longer working hour than in China. On Saturday, as discussed with customer they accompanied with us to go to the harbor with cruise ship terminal. The weather was perfect on that day so we walked along the harbor to enjoy the San Diego wind, San Diego air and to scan all of the San Diego girls who ever jumped into my sight. In the afternoon they brought us to a outlet and had a great dinner nearby called Elephant Bar.

Having a tour guide was not a bad option for us, but the generation gap between between customer and us was nearly killed us. So we decided to go to San Ysidro outlet on Sunday afternoon by ourselves. It was a really good outlet, huge and having several popular brands over there. The price was not as cheap as expected but stingy mouse still could pick some shirts and souvenirs for family and gf over there.

After the charming weekend 2 little mice had to go back to do the routine boring job on the second week. In the meanwhile, we celebrated Raymond's birthday on 8th Nov. This is the first time for him to celebrate his birthday overseas. I thought it was a unforgettable moment for him because end up there was 3 different groups of customer celebrated for him.

On 11th Nov, we had completed the mission to re-inspect 16k meters which was more than expected. So we said good-bye to customer in the afternoon and continued to "play hard" in Los Angeles. As I knew that Los Angeles was a big city but very disappointed that the downtown was looked like a sin city, a lot of area just put "LEASE" on the front. When we felt "that's it" in Los Angeles suddenly we found a totally different world in Universal Studio and Hollywood. Although there were not big and stunning but at least it made me feel different.

On 12th Nov night we were ready to get back to Hong Kong. Although it was a free, relax and exciting trip, I still feel that Hong Kong is the best place I would like to stay for my entire life.

彼得：“一隻都不剩。 ”
女教師：“為什麼？”
彼得：“因為另兩隻受到槍聲驚嚇飛走了。”
女教師：“從數學上來講，應該還剩兩隻。不過我很喜歡你的思路。 ”
彼得：“老師，我有一個問題想請教您。有三位女人在公園裏各買了一根冰棒， 有一位舔著吃，一位咬著吃，還有一位含著吃，您認為哪一位是已經結婚的？”
女教師想了想，紅著臉囁嚅道：“我想應該是含著吃的那位。

Too innocent

Within these few weeks I had a very strong feeling about my life is really changing. Everything has to take care by myself. Although I still can ask for help from other people, I think this is not going to work anymore.

I remember some elder people said, "Choose a way to make yourself easier which can fit your interest.". When an innocent boy was growing up from a boy to a teenager, he listened to them to enjoy his life in an easier way and fit to his interest. Therefore he had never tasted pressure at all because he was very satisfied to himself. Even there was some external impact to him, he was very easy to forget about it because he knew it won't last for long and the easy way for him to solve it is "forget".

The first impact for him was about HKCEE. At that time he just knew that it was a very important exam, he had to study very hard to get a high mark to continue his education. But what is the purpose behind study he didn't know. The motivation was just coming from the circumstance. Therefore the HKCEE result was below average, the innocent boy can't pick the right school in Hong Kong to continue his education. At this moment he supposed to taste the despair but he did not because he got the protection from parent to continue his education overseas therefore he can continue his easier life to fit his interest.

The second impact was about living alone in Canada for education. Actually it was an luxurious move to study overseas especially in Canada but this innocent teenager had never felt any hard time because he knew all the study fee was sponsor by family, what he had to do was just about choose a way to make himself easier and focusing on his interest. Suppose living alone is a very good chance to manage his personal financial issues and also can taste the real cruel economic world but he did not because the instinct of ask-for-help tell him that he still has the protection on it therefore he can continue his easier life to fit his interest.

The third impact was about buying stocks in stock market. Be honest stock market is just about a big casino. It doesn’t have an absolute right conclusion but always about pros and cons. Not sometime but most of the time you can’t just rely on the P/L report from company but these data somehow are essential for you to make a decision. Because the innocent guy was grow up from a straight way with pre-built direction he didn’t know how to choice a direction for himself, he was so frustrate at that moment. He was kind of reluctance to do data comparison on stock market because he already get used to wait for some other people tell him how to do but not make a decision by himself. At last he lost some money on stock market the main reason was he can’t handle the pressure of the fluctuate market without direction. He can’t stand for keep losing for certain period. So he decided to pick a Fund manager to handle his money therefore he can continue his easier life to fit his interest.

Right now, this F innocent guy really has to clean up his F mind and delete all the lazy genes. He felt very sorry and guilt to all of the people who love him.

Conversation with mom

Although my specialist is Project Manager, who is trying to make any kind of decisions and lead the team toward the right direction. But be honest, I am really chickie making decision on myself.

We do not have too many chances to make a big decision during our short life. Unfortunately I feel any decisions I have made were not good enough. I have a bad habit to regret the decision I have made everytime, everytime when I feel guilty then I start to review the situation by mistake. That means I can only learn from mistake but cannot fully requiped before I make any decision...Stupid me...

After the conversation with my mom I feel I did open up my mind a little bit because she is such a problem solver. She accepted it is possible that to make mistakes but how to solve the problem is what we should do right now. Everything has pros and cons, we can't get the absolute right, what we can do is to think how to get the best for future.

Thanks mom. I won't be that stupid again, will walk ahead with brain and concentration.

Whatever it is, it is...

At this moment I am kind of understand why ppl believe on God when they are getting old...because the pressure is going to increase proportionally with your age, if you bone is not hard enough, there is no way to overcome this pressure.

God is living on top of us, of course they control the pressure on this world. Mortal like us have no power to argue with them.

I get used to absorb the defeat, right now I have to learn how to hypnotize myself (like religion's technique) to be totally positive on what I have done and what I am going to go right now...

Uncle wong

Because I am a mouse, I have to live as a mouse. During office hour I try my best to minimize the work load and optimize my personal goal. Sit quietly to pretend isolating from any noise. Walk fast to hide from all the top management eye sight. Awake when the clock hits 12:45am and 05:45pm.

As a Project AM all these technique are just piece of cake. Therefore, I can enjoy my life to work out in the gym. When I went to the gym and having some warm up, a little kid come over and said, "Are you ready for work out, UNCLE~?" Oh, I really got shocked not because I got challenge from a kid, because he called me UNCLE. Do I look like an UNCLE? I don't think so? But definitely my shape and my attitude is just like an UNCLE now...

Really poor me, UNCLE wong...

911

Today is a serious day for US because 10 years old the Twins Towers of the World Trade Center in New York was crashed by two planes. It was a very stunning to everyone but today was another thing happened which is also very stunning to me and Cathy.

Since 2 months ago we decided to rent a room in Gold Coast Hotel during moon festival for celebration. There is a very nice hotel beside a calm long beach. A lot of couple also chooses this place for their wedding ceremony. As a professional photographer I definitely brought the whole gadget with me because I want to play “Light painting” during dark night.

We arrived there around noon, after having a lunch over there we had a pencil sketch along the market. I am so enjoyed people do this kind of sketch to me especially under the beautiful weather with good mood. The guy took around 30mins to complete the drawing, may be this was still too early for him to start to work, I can’t really recognize that were me and Cathy on the paper. If this kind of level also can make business on the street, may be one day I can do it as well if I retire.

After check-in in Gold Coast Hotel, we went to the beach to enjoy the nature. Because Cathy didn’t expect to swim at the beginning, it was only myself swimming along the gentle beach. I think it is a waste if we come over the beach but didn’t jump into the water, therefore, I kept swimming until my muscle got tired. After around an hour, we went back to the hotel and have a long long break.

At night, we went to the night market for some hand making products and had a dinner in western restaurant. Afterward we went to the beach and set up the camera for “Light painting”. It was the trick begun. We had a lot of fun of drawing different kind of graphics and wordings on the frame. There was one time I tried to write a word “Marry me?” she was smiling and questioning me “who talk to who?”. I said, “Of course I am waiting for you to say this word.” Then she was just silent. Actually I want to tease her a little bit more time to bring her emotion down but after the “Lighting painting” exercise it made us really tired walking around above the sand and it was almost to rain, so we grabbed everything and went back to hotel around 11pm.

I told her I have difficult to take out the key and let her went in first, I was already asked a bellboy to put a bouquet onto the room, I supposed she will see it immediately after she went in. But she was not, she just passed-by the bouquet so I pointed to it and said, “yeee~ what is that?”, she was surprise and then turned her face from smile to laugh and said, “I don’t know what it is too~”. “Yes, it is for you and please holds it, I have another thing to show you too.” I said. After she holds it, we were both sitting on the bed. I was holding the engagement ring on my hand but can’t even say a word. I bent my body close to her and keep a breath for 3 seconds then I said gently, “Will you marry me?”. I saw some tears running on her eyes and she said, “ng ng~” Because “ng ng” is not a correct answer for this format conversation then I said again, “Will Lau-Kit-Yan marry Wong Sing Man?” She just nodded her head and said, “ng ng~, a girl like me is waiting for this question for a long time.”

From the engagement ring to this romantic occasion, I prepared for 2months already. I was impressed that she accepted my “deposit”, I also am proud of that I can have this beautiful wife to come along in my boring life.

The 365th

I am not very good on counting, time is running away without mercy. There is no reason to count it anyways because "Time" is very fair to everyone, we have the equal time for every day and every second. Why a lazy careless man like to count starting from 4th Sept 2010 because this is a very special date for this man and the other lady...

The story was happened from a cinema in Causeway Bay in Hong Kong. At that period of time, there was a man and a lady watching an action film in a very dark house. We wouldn't find out was it because the film was too scary or the house was too cold, the man and the lady were sitting closer and closer to each other. Suddenly there was a big sound and the man got stunned, he held the lady's hand tightly with no reason, then another love story was begun.

Because of this holding hands, a promise was being committed. In order to keep this promise forever, I get used to enjoy all the happiness and sadness within these 365 days just like tasting a big meal with "sweet", "sour", "bitter" and "spicy". When I was come together with her it was "sweet". When I found there was a mistake in the past but I have no way to erase it was "sour". When I feel helpless to own a house it was "bitter". When there is a nonsense argument between each other it was "spicy".

It is not easy to go through these 365 days but we still can handle it so far. Therefore, as a check point from marathon, we step back and take a rest to celebrate our success. I prepared a 16" x 20" photos for her. It is about a big theme assembled by a thousand of small pictures from these 365 days. It simply represents that all the brilliant and successful future are created by thousand and thousand of hard work which may not be easy to recognize. I believe that we will be the next. She prepared a little hand-made fish-ball and a hand-made album for me. I don't know if there is any connection between each other, but I am very appreciated that she tries to develop other skill (to imitate how kindergarten draws their pictures may be :-#). I am very impress on the album because you can feel that she put a lot of effort to classify those photos according to the time. It is very useful when I have Alzheimer's disease...

Thank you so much.

Be strong! Be brave!

Just had a short conversation with old fds last week. We were talking about our career bath future. What we had concluded was about as a employee will never have a quality of life.

Everyday is just about meaningless and low value day. We can't have our own life. We can't establish our own life. We can't let everyone knows I have a still-ok life because my life is really still not ok.What we are lacking of is about vision and brave. Local china ppl can't fight for their dream without regret. To do or not to do they have a very clear idea just like animal in the jungle. I really want to ask myself if I am resting too long or it is already my instinct? Every time when I try to take action, I always can't clear up my mind to make it happen...

Man! Be strong! Be brave!

駕駛員叔叔對我說 : 漂亮的小男孩, 我和你媽媽生育小寶寶呢, 你們一家人一起挖泥和躺在街道上, 你的壽命太長呢, 你要上天堂, 不要由我送你去啊, 在街道上躺躺吧.

說完, 駕駛員叔叔便絕塵而去, 我的手指, 包括大姆指, 食指, 無名指,尾指, 緊緊地閉合著, 然後舉起我的手向著駕駛員叔叔的集裝箱車揮手,說 : 集裝箱車駕駛員叔叔, 我也和你媽媽生育小寶寶呢.

F house

Life in 21 century is very tough. Generally seems everything is so peaceful, you can go anywhere you want and do whatever you want, but indeed ppl is hard to have a solid financial support to establish their own family.

I am a good example, I can't see a brilliant future in my career path. My salary increment trend can't give me a confident that I can buy my own house within a year. When my parent are getting old and retire, I am the only one to support the family. When I am going to marry or having a children, the burden is even bigger.

Sigh, beautiful life is only for ppl who has sufficient financial support...

Photographer courses

It is interested that everything in world is how we demonstrate the subject. If we present the subject in an optimistic way, it will have a positive response from majority, if we present it in a pessimistic way, it will have a negative response from majority. Actually what we do actually need is very subjective, sometime we don’t even know what exactly we like because we may be affected by other opinions.

Life is hard, if we make decision just following our preference, it will be easy to lose the credit from majority and isolated by them. If we just simple follow the majority preference, it is easy to lose our mind what characteristic we should have.

There is ironic news about a final year project from graduated student, he is trying to use style as property advertisement to present a 100feet apartment. In fact this is a very tiny "room" with poor condition environment, but he use the word "European Style", "return-to-the-ancients", "100% practicality", "Western materials floor board" to describe the area. The overall feeling has been totally upgrade and become very "special", "personal" and grand.

Of course everything is quite subjective but if the world is being flooded by marketing strategy, the real world is always covered by this kind of lies and it makes us even harder to find the true life.

碩士生拍片 板間房當豪宅銷 諷樓盤廣告 網上熱傳

【明報專訊】近年本港的樓盤廣告愈見豪華，有中大藝術碩士畢業生故意仿效這種做法，將在廣告中經常出現的「地產語言」，運用在一間只有16.4平方呎的板間房內，拍攝一段推銷短片「King's Cube」放到網上，希望大眾藉此反思現今租金昂貴、居住環境狹窄、示範單位不實等問題。短片至今已有逾5.4萬人瀏覽，有海外人士看後大嘆香港人「住的很辛苦呀」。

畢業作品 揭示「地產語言」

這段短片是阿Joe畢業作品，她找來同學阿文、Thomas，以及朋友阿細一同拍攝。阿Joe向來有留意居住環境的議題，為研究「地產語言」，她過去曾到「豪宅」睇樓，並收集大批售樓書。何謂「地產語言」？Joe將歸類出的方法，在這套叫做「King's Cube」的短片內逐一呈現。

賣點「實用率100％」

片段由身穿筆挺西裝的Thomas擔當主持，介紹一個位於深水埗的「別致」單位。片段先形容，單位所在地交通方便，有不同的消閒、休憩設施，方便住客。主持人之後就帶大家去看位於一幢唐樓內的示範單位，並指這座宇宙大廈可能將改名做「宇宙半島」。甫進大廈，主持人便遇上一名身穿白色禮服、手執紅酒的住客，指可見住客顯赫身分。

這個板間房雖然面積只有16.4平方呎，僅可放下一張單人牀，但主持人反以「無走廊位」、「無柱位」，以及「實用面積達100％」作為賣點，又指人手關門的舊是以懷舊主題為設計，而單位需要共用洗手間則說成是為保持房間清潔。房內物料是另一個介紹重點——「地板是用仿歐洲木物料所造」，窗台的一塊雲石亦形容是「國際頂級用料」，而且還可延伸成桌面，善用空間；房內尚設有「全天候四季大窗」，住客可欣賞窗外四季景色。

掛畫添品味 置植物變綠色空間

為令16.4平方呎的房間環境，看來更豐富，房內還添置了不少「道具」，打造生活品味，例如牆壁掛有當代藝術家作品、放有蠟燭，幾盆小植物就已可說成是綠色空間，另加上紅酒、Mac Book Pro等。不過介紹了一大堆後，主持人才說剛才所看的單位只供參考，真實的板間房除了1張牀及2塊木架，可能連窗也沒有，租金卻要100元一晚。

16.4方呎 百元一晚

除了拍片，阿Joe的小團隊還印製了售樓書，當中亦「參考」了不少現時售樓書的做法，包括將大廈「加高」及加上金光閃閃的效果，加入「精品豪宅 細膩品味」等口號來形容（見圖）。
片段現已有累積逾5.4萬次瀏覽，阿Joe說，這些地產用語影響了港人對理想生活及居所的定義及理解，但事實上它們好多的包裝，例如西裝、紅酒等根本與單位無關，故希望將這些用語套在相反的空間，讓港人反思。

Life is...

After the long relax and happy weekend, I still couldn't get rid of lazy attitude. Therefore I back to hk office for a very short time and pretending go to China immediately but actually having a breakfast near the train station.

During the breakfast of course I was enjoying the last relax moment for today, but I was also enjoying the conversation between 2 old women. They both were pretty much the same outlook, 50 something years old with classic old women curly hair and large surface area body. They were also wearing very casual dresses, some area could make you feel that they already wore them for a long time.

But the difference was here, one was the restaurant waitress and one was a customer. One was keep cleaning the table and serving the food but the other one was just reading newspaper slow and drinking her cold milk-tea. They seemed know each other for a long time, they talked closely with details. The customer kept talking about her son brought few apartments for investment and also brought a house for her about 3000 feet but it was too big she kind of doesn't like it. Although there was a very nice front yard and back yard, a numerous Mosquitos still very annoying her. That's why she told her son to pick a new one after 3 months she was stayed there. The waitress responded her when she was serving the food to me and said "oh, that is a very nice place, not too crowd but may be not convenient." "Yes a super big house is not also my favor." after these kind of property conversation then the customer left the restaurant with smiling face with the waitress.

Suddenly I feel this is a classic tragedy in this world. Rich ppl can enjoy their lovely high class environment and also enjoy the cheap price resources with poor labour friendly relationship. On the other hand, poor labour can only keep working and working to earn their limited reward and "not-really-true" respect from the world. Somehow poor ppl do have the same knowledge and attitude with rich ppl, but why poor ppl have to sell their sweat and time and also their relationship with low return? When we looked into the history, the king and nobles were just stayed in their own limited world, they earn huge and spend huge, at least poor ppl can keep their own "not-for-sale" happiness as treasure which top class never understand. But because of this "fair" world, it makes everything everyone very close, rich ppl have more freedom to do whatever they want and poor ppl just foolishly sale their sweat, time, health and peace to rich ppl with low price.

Life is...

Tired work tired

Tired, frustrate, annoying, depress, exhausted, no energy is this moment I feel...

My own world

Not because of just stepped into my 30th years, I really feel that my world is transforming to another thing at this moment.

Because Cathy's mom is on vacation during this period, I have chance to stay longer with her for couple days. We do not have any special activities or I can say we have less than what we did before, but I feel we understand each other more than before. Most of the time I just stayed at her home, we brought some DVDs and watched together. She prepared a lot of qualified delicious meals for lunch and dinner, I finished most of the dishes cleaning jobs. She did sweeping the floor, I washed the filter of air-conditioner. she likes to try making different kind of desserts, I appreciate to criticize and eat her products.

I have never had this feeling before, but no doubt that I am really enjoy the moment we stay together. It is not productive indeed to adapt to this cruel world, but it is really a heaven to stop thinking about the cruel world.

It is kind of embarrassing to say that I am always under parents protection, nothing I really have to take care of, right now I really have to take the responsibility to take care someone. I really have to step forward to confront any kind of problems because someone is really waiting for and trust in my decision. Someone really please to spend her whole life to stay together with me. Therefore I really have to be serious on my life.

Life is really hard but it does have a lot of fun. We are happy to stay in our childhood, but it is not happy to take care a child for a whole life. That's why we need to grow.

Non-stop working

I guess I am a lazy person indeed, I always question myself why I have to work every single day. Is our life already planned to work like this? Why there is not a break for us to think what we should really do on the following life time.

Even a computer if you would like to take care of it nicely, you may be shutted down for a while or re-construct those segments to filing what they did in the past, so their "brain" or you can call the harddisc can be function nicely.

I really do need a break not just about run away from work, it's about sitting at home and do what I like to do for a couple days to refresh my mind, otherwise I feel I am really not organized right now...

No promotion no hard work

No doubt working in here has quite a lot of potential, but I am tired to have such routine battle everyday without any appreciation.

Whenever the customer or the boss thinks that you are capable to work more, they just push everything on you with no mercy. Once your workload is pulling up in certain level, you must be easy to make mistakes, then ppl will blame on you and just about to shut down any possibilities to talk about reward. This cunning dirty trick I have been suffered for many thousand times.

On August, about a year after the first appraisal, I will negotiate with my manager again what is the meaning of "Program Manager". If I have to work as a Program Manager then please treat me as a official Program Manager...

Long time no blog

Time flies, too many things are coming up around me, sometimes it takes time to solve, sometimes it takes time to learn, sometimes it takes time to enjoy. Therefore it takes all of my time to write my blog.

Really a lot of challenges within last 12 months. I don't really have time to digest, no matter happiness or sadness also running away along with time.

If we cannot remember what is really happened along with our life, no doubt this is a disaster for every single person. Sometimes I feel things are too detail to memorize, I have to start writing blog again to capture every single moment no matter those are good or bad because Wong Sing Man is belonged to it.

老師在講解"乳"的含意說：「乳就是小的意思，比如乳豬，乳鴿，乳名等！」要求小明用"乳"字造句。
小明：「因為房價太高，所以我們家只能買10坪大的乳房！」老師汗，說：「再造一個。」
小明：「我人太小，連乳溝都跳不過去！」老師大汗：「不行，再造一個！」
小明：「老師，我實在想不出來了，我乳頭都快想破了！」

Business trip (Trace back)

Today is the last day of my first business trip in US in San Diego. It was a very great trip indeed because the trip was sponsored by company, I don't really have to spend a penny on this trip even for personal souvenirs!

The purpose of this trip is to retest 1806pcs InRatio meters to make sure sort out all the temperature failures. At the beginning we had a serious calculation on the working hour on this trip, unfortunately one tester over there was out of calibration therefore it decreased 20% of our efficiency. In order to see the real world from mice eyes, my colleague, Raymond, and me had to work night shift until 4am to seize the time. Finally, we can squeeze a night to downtown and half day to visit different kind of breaches.

The most amazing thing over San Diego was the weather never been badly. Sun shine, low humidity and gentle wind all the time. On the last day after having a wrap up meeting with customer, we said good-bye to the routine work place and went to shopping immediately. Because we had to return the car before 5:30pm, mice can only enjoy around 3 hours on one shopping mall to buy what they can buy over there. There were not much special things but mice still enjoyed their time to buy so souvenirs with sexy hot passionate sales to take a photo with us.

After we returned to car, customer took us to visit few beaches that are very nice. One beach calls "pacific beach" there is a lot of seals laying there doing nothing but only cleaning their body and look around on ppl as if telling us "why you guys working all the day such a fool". After the wonderful site seeing, customer also took us to enjoy the last western food as a happy ending for this trip.

Although we worked like crazy at the beginning, I am still very appreciated that I can have a breath in US San Diego and see the big world by using my tiny mouse eyes!

Happy Bday to me 2011 (Trace back)

This is the most abundance birthday I have ever had.

Since secondary school I always had a feeling that ppl never remember my birthday but most of the time I have to join the birthday party for some other ppl, this is totally not fair to me. I am not an active person, I don't like some other ppl broadcasting their birthday everyday to force ppl doing something on that day. I rather prefer there is a group of ppl really remember my birthday and treat this day as an important day. Finally I have got this group of ppl in my life. Thank you so much to my mom, Mukda, Banjob, Namo and the most important one is Lau-Kit-Yan.

When the moment just stepped into 29th May, 2011, a beautiful hand-made look-yummy-and-yummy-indeed birthday was in front of me. I was stunning because she really got a talent to made something can eat. It was about a chocolate cake with melted condensed chocolate inside which we usually call "softened heart" in Cantonese. Actually this is one of the favor desserts of her but it is also not a bad idea to force her Bf to adapt it.

During the noon time, my mom, Mukda, Banjob, Namo and I were gone to Ocean Park to enjoy my birthday free ticket. It was a perfect day, the weather was not too hot although it was in summer time. Not many ppl inside (especially Chinese) although it was a weekend. Everyone was happy although we did actually come for many times. At that moment I found life is just as simple as like this...

After Ocean Park, we took Namo to have a nap and brought him to a western restaurant call "Fat Angelos". In my imagination birthday party should always happen in western style. Over there we had spaghetti, ribs, steaks, and unlimited salad and breads. Not eating too much but felt like burst in my stomach. This was the first official time Cathy met my auntie and uncle. Funny that PhD Banjob seems trying to have a speech on my birthday lecture to talk to Cathy, I think because I was sitting in the middle and she was not likely to have a speech in English therefore the conversation was not lasted too long. After a while we have done all the foods, Cathy brought another hand-made birthday cake over. It was about a mousse white and black chocolate cake. Everyone loves it especially Namo because he can blow the birthday candle again.

I am very appreciated on everything I had received today, anything happened today will be stored safely in my brain as a treasure.

Marathon 2011

I have joined Marathon after 3 years without any exercise. My record for this year is 1:08:53, this is pretty much the same as 3 years ago.

I am quite happy with this record because during this 3 years my weight is being increased from 135lb to 150lb. It is a big burden for my legs to suffer this weight, that's why my legs are very painful and I can't even walk straight after the game.

I don't know if I am getting old or I am really lack of exercise, it is really take a long time to recover. When I was completed the game, I suppose can feel the blood circulation and very hyper at that moment, but this time I feel only tired and muscle is being tense, just want to take a bath and sleep.

I can't be like this anymore, 2011 is the year to summon the real Wong Sing Man back to the real world, the strong Wong Sing Man without the whole pack muscle in my belly.

Man Period

I have to say that these days are kind of moody due to some personal picky attitude. The more important thing for me, the more picky I will be...

Some habit (or hobby) is really not easy to change if this is already developed for many years...

+Just a joke+

命運就像強姦，你反抗不了就要學會忍受
工作就像輪姦，你不行了別人就上
生活就像自慰，什麼都得靠自己雙手
學習就像嫖妓，出完錢後又出力
工資就像月事，一月不來你就傻眼
談判就像口交，費盡了口舌也就那點收穫
捐款就像發情，一想起來馬上就要
獎金就像陰毛，掉的要比長的多
領導就像陰道，總是欺軟怕硬
開會就像亂倫，搞不清誰該搞誰
兄弟像避孕套，多大的都幫你兜著
機會較像老二，握的越緊就越大

Challenging life

I always think that I am not belonged to this cruel world, this is too hard for me. I really want a break to "Stop for a moment, think for a moment".

I understand my characteristic is kind of like an artist. I enjoy to play what I like to play until I think this is perfect. Just like how ppl create an art piece, they enjoy to create an object from nothing, trying to reshape it until it really represent the same spirit in their mind, and then modeling the object little by little until it is perfect. Unfortunately, in 20 century this is nearly impossible for us to do that in our life. We are suffering every single day for earning sufficient money for eating and living. We have no extra time to do what we like to do, I am really hate this world.

Too many comparison and too many challenging happen in this world, I am really sick on those F financial numbers, I really don't understand why everything we have done in this F world is linked to money, I really can't stand with that.
