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!

中文堂上, 老師好勞氣咁教訓 D 學生.

老師 : 大家留意, 以後 D 作文, 週記, 唔該用 D 文雅 D 既字句,唔好用廣東俗話, 冇人識睇你地寫乜野 !!

一星期後, 小明份週記係咁寫.

昨天我出街玩, 正在過馬路, 沒有留意綠色行人過路燈有沒有亮著,忽然間, 有輛集裝箱車衝出來, 幸好駕駛員叔叔能急停下來, 而我卻沒有損傷.

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.
