愛的宣言

生活 (m-life) December 29th, 2007

SunYuen

放假放到不知時日過.
Touch完iPod,Touch HTC .
天天看書看電影,每天睡到自然醒.
這,就是這幾天的寫照.
上"臉書"網,看到阿新與阿苑的照片,
驚醒夢中人,他倆在香港的婚宴在今早舉行了.
如果不是已去過他們在英國的婚禮,
還有我三個月前才去過香港的話,
我現在一定已經在香港了.

看到照片裡熟識的臉...
中學同學、老師等.
好像做夢一樣的.
最近的夢跟現實有點分不太清楚.
一定是生活太悠閒所致.

繞過大半個地球,
一切就是這麼近又那麼遠.

希望新苑過得好好的,
牽手,白頭到老.
老朋友,雖然人不在香港,大家心照.
看到這一則愛的宣言,忍不住笑出來.:)

吃喝拉睡

生活 (m-life) December 28th, 2007

人啊.最重要的就是那麼簡單.
能夠有得吃,有得喝,拉得好,睡得飽.
那就代表心理身理大概正常.
一直以來,我都是有福之人.
吃香喝辣,腸胃健康,
更不曾嘗過失眠滋味.
這一段時間,我終於嘗到了.

P.S. Thanks for all your greetings :D
Happy holidays to you all.

有時帶孤

生活 (m-life) December 25th, 2007

孤。

讓人想到的是:鰥寡孤獨、孤芳自賞。

沒有人可以信任.

又在原地踏步.

感覺就像是,

在死胡同裡.

*對不起,嘗試樂觀積極,但實在是受不了.一屋瘋子.
破壞了節日的氣氛.

Happy Holidays!~

生活 (m-life) December 24th, 2007

Finally… holidays have started. 1st day of the holiday, almost got sick. Luckily, no need to work til Jan 2. And after 14 hours of rest - I’m doing ok now.

Just wanna say MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you.

This year I haven’t sent out any card except for the elderly (70+) overseas and the company clients. Towards the end of this year and early next year there are going to be a lot of weddings in HK. Wish you all the best.

A few more days and it will be year 2008. In the new year, I hope everyone will succeed in whatever s/he is pursuing. Find a dream, a direction and go for it. Work hard but remember not to burn yourself out. Here are something that I try to remind myself from time to time.

1. Show appreciation and don’t take anything for granted - whether it is your family, friends, colleagues, boss or anything in your life.

2. Know yourself better - your strengths, weaknesses, personality, interests, passion, body, etc.

3. If you find yourself working 24/7 and still can’t get things done, there must be something wrong. Sit back and rethink, sometimes it’s good to be lazy - i.e. be creative and think about how to work smarter.

4. Make sure lessons are learnt. Take notes and remind yourself of your mistakes / failure. Think about why you made that mistake and how you can prevent that from happening again. It applies to school, work, personal relationships and even stock market, etc.

5. Prioritize and Focus on one thing at a time. Multitasking doesn’t mean you do everything all at once - instead it means to me that I have to evaluate my priority list more often and while focusing on one thing at a time, the big picture still sits in the back of my mind.

6. Keep your promise - it’s important.

7. On the other hand, learn how to say NO. Otherwise, you’ll end up overloading yourself, not doing the best you can, and even not being able to deliver what you’ve promised.

8. Have an open mind and be willing to try different things - food, music, movies, arts, sports, languages, travel - the list goes on and on. AND be willing to take on new challenges.

9. Read at least a few pages a day. I believe 99% of the authors put 100% of effort into their work. Reading is the one of the most beneficial activities that anyone can think of. Of course, pick some good books from different subjects, not just comic books / magazines.

10. Pick up at least one kind of sports. Stay active and healthy.

11. Save a portion of each of your pay cheque for investment / rainy days. Without savings ($), there’s no freedom, thus no happiness. Being able to work on something that you are passionate about is a luxury, a blessing. If you don’t have passion in your current job / career, at least the savings can support you in finding something else you like… or at least you can have the option of saying “I’ve had enough!”

12. Live in the moment. If you’re at a party, enjoy your time there; If you’re working, do your very best; If you’re performing / presenting, just do it with heart - no need (too late) to worry about anything. If you’re not happy now, there’s no point worrying about the future. Do it with passion. Hug, Kiss, and Make love with passion.

Omega 3 - 1One night. Wanted to try something healthier and lighter. Thought about this “Omega 3″ restaurant near Kennedy and Hwy7. (What a weird name for a restaurant - sounds like I’m eating vitamin supplements.) Got there around dinner time. The restaurant was at this Chinese plaza, facing Kennedy Rd. Went into this place at a cold cold night. The wallpaper looks like an aquarium. The tables were quite far apart. Looked like something was missing. Yes, there’s no separator (e.g. plants, glass dividers, etc.) in the restaurant. Sometimes I’m quite amazed how human perceives space, design and concepts… I guess we are all “preloaded” with ideas and concepts. When something doesn’t fall into the norm, it just doesn’t look right.

Anyhow, I wasn’t very hungry that night. The menu was very simple. There weren’t a lot of items to choose from. The price range was great. Besides the vermicelli/soup rice, they offer a few side dishes/desserts (on the 1st picture).
Omega 3 - 2

We ordered two bowl of vermicelli. One was “Fresh fish, cuttle fish and chicken balls”, the other one was with the “Sliced sea snail and sliced beef”. Tried a piece of the sea snail. Wasn’t impressed. However, the portion was overall large. We kinda regretted that we ordered two bowls - but it would look a bit strange if we are sharing 1 bowl though… The soup was good. Saw they put “no MSG” on the board. I would say the food did taste a bit bland.

Omega 3 - 3 Omega 3 - 4

We also ordered the grilled fish. Lots of small bones. Was ok.
Omega 3 - 5

Second time. I went there with my mother. She ordered the same thing that I had before (3 types of fish/meal balls) but with the addition of “sliced sea snail”. With this additional ingredient - price went up by $1.60. Feel kinda fun to do this - counting the dollars and cents - which I normally don’t do and hate to do. But I feel like an accountant or a business analyst somehow. Was the marginal utility that I got from the “sliced sea snail” able to justify the additional cost of $1.60? The answer was… No. The taste of the sea snail wasn’t that great. Not sure if that’s because they’ve boiled the snail for a long time.

I ordered the rice with soup. I like that they use wild rice - which is still a bit chewy even after being soaked with soup. However, this time, we both find the taste was stronger (and quite salty). Quite different from my first experience (again, inconsistency in the quality of food). The service was really slow. One lady looking after all the tables. She forgot to give us tea, the vermicelli came w/o the sea snail, and took a long time to get us the bill. Don’t get me wrong - the lady was polite, but restaurant didn’t have a good flow/allocation of staff.

I would say it’s probably worth trying it once (for the fish soup and the healthy part of it), but I don’t think you’d like to go back.
