In around one month time, I will be sitting for my IAA exam. After many years of exam experience, I guess I can stay calm for it. This doesn't mean I don't care about it, but rather exam is NOT everything in my life even though they are important . 

 

I remember I came across this literature about "What are the needs for human being?". At the fundamental base, it is security, which can be defined as the need for clothing to cover nude body, a shelter to stay under, food to fill stomache etc etc. The next layer is love whether it could be friendship, relationship, family etc. After that it is the additonal stuff which is more than enough for keeping your survival e.g. having an extra pair of shoes.... Then there are wealth, career, reputation which lie at the top of the chart. 

  

Looking at the world today, I reckon the order of this chart is no longer representative. People very likely would put love at the top of the chart nowadays i.e. they are the least desirable in life.... are we transforming to robot now? or are we seeking the apporpriate stuff for our life?.....

 

Recently I have spent much of my time with Alex, a friend of mine since high school. Though a long time we have met, I don't really know him much until recent, especially his relationship history. I guess he hides that so well hahaha...... Anyway he is going to Shanghai at the end of the year to meet up with his girl friend. He looks forward to the day so much and I wish him all the best with his trip . Got a song for him.....

勤力過 捱罵過 如做錯
誰又會原諒我 懷念家中被窩
想去躲 這麼吃力 求甚麼

投入過 麻木過
磨練過 沉悶過　疲累過
其實我進取麼
時間從未敢蹉跎
賺到幾多
賺到的只是你
能被你溫柔無微的照顧
被你那麼在乎
平日有你縱壞已忘記辛苦

活著有你多好
多麼渺小都變寶
躺在平靜被舖上漫談來日旅途
回到家中便有你多好
一碗暖湯的鼓舞
沾濕我眼睛
有人祈求我歸家 來互抱

唯獨你 明白我
成就過 誰若說 容易過
曾受了氣幾多
能聽我解釋因何在這被窩
賺到的只是你
能被你溫柔無微的照顧
被你那麼在乎
平日有你縱壞已忘記辛苦

活著有你多好
多麼渺小都變寶
躺在平靜被舖上漫談來日旅途
回到家中便有你多好
一碗暖湯的鼓舞
沾濕我眼睛
有人祈求我歸家

自問已經得到
得到你比一切好
躺在平靜被舖上望浮雲在過路
回到家中便有你多好
張開兩臂的鼓舞
沾濕我眼睛
眼前繁華有幾好 來互抱 

 

 

  

Time flies and now it is nearly October. A few more months then here we go 2008!!!

 

I guess a highlighted event before X'mas is Halloween. Last year my company offered us free ticket to Halloween night at Ocean Park in Hong Kong. It was such a great night despite the relatively long query for every "ghost house" (we had privilege ticket, still a long waiting time).... 

 

Personally I don't watch horrible movie but I don't really find the GHOSTS there scary, because I kept reminding myself that they are HUMAN only!!

 

After visiting a few "ghost houses", I started to find out the fun part of 哈囉喂..... Whenever I heard my friends and other ppl screamed because of sudden appearance of "ghost", I just couldn't stop laughing..... You can just imagine they grabbed other ppl nearby without thinking of who they are..... the embrassing looks that they have..... and someone actually swore to those "ghosts"..... haha   

 

This year I am not able join this interesting event, but I am sure I will definitely take a visit and I am looking forward to..... I will probably grab Johnny Wat to go with me, since he is so experienced in 哈囉喂

Last weekend I went for a short trip to Forster, a beautiful and quiet place which locates at the north of Newcastle. I could summarise my trip in three words: relax, fun and exciting

 

I guess the most enjoyable aspect of the trip was not only the beautiful places we visited, but also the game time we had at night!! I couldn't remember when the last time I played Monopoly, it is still a fun game regardless of age!!

 

Another game that we played was "liar". I guess my high school friends would know this game very well as we used to play so often during break and lunch time back to the day of school hahaha..... and I still love this game very much 

 

Another interesting fact I found out about myself was that I can actually survive without a PC .... which is an excellent news to me!! haha 

 

Song time....

我的心已跟海風流浪
我的影同樣尋覓去向
如海鷗剪破了寂靜
如斜陽隨水蕩
隨天光走到了日落
人愛上懶洋洋

我於蒸發感覺中流汗　我的思緒像潮汐退漲
人海中飄泊似踏浪　仍然頑強闖蕩
煩囂中失去了願望　離遠了從前方向

願活在夢幻世界
身穿千尺浪
夢內沒有分國界
自由是國邦

從無緣無故的徬徨
走進歡笑開朗
如帆船微雨中迴航
不必孤身飄遠岸
能遺忘人世的繁忙
方會醒覺風在唱
從從前愁緒中離航
熱情像紅日發放

 

 

With great fortune our department had a community service today, which allows us to escape the heavy work load from the office for a day.  

 

My first impression of this voluntary work was "how hard can it be? At least the jobs can be physically solved whereas I am still digging my way out for those in the office"...... which is somehow TRUE!!

 

A group of 20+ of us were divided into small teams, the tasks given to us were: painting, furniture assemble, paving and gardening. I was forced to do gardening without a choice..... I guessed they thought I should do some gardening ....

 

As we made our way to gardening, we were surprised how much work was need to be done.... I guess the last time someone did gardening might be about 10 years ago!! ahahaha..... obviously the workers there didn't do a lot because there are some lovely "volunteers" visit them periodically hahaha

 

Overall it was fun despite the physical tiredness afterwards. I would prefer activities similar like this, which get us out of the office sometimes. 

 

 

P.S. there were photos taken during our work, will post them up.
