Pyjamas on a busy street

Yesterday noon time,
when I was walking in the crowded "Rua de Pedro Nolasco da Silva",
near the shopping malls area,
I was attracted by two middle age ladies,
both of them were wearing pyjamas,
one in small blue flower pattern,
while the other,
in  small pink flower pattern,
they also carried their handbags,
enjoying the time by browsing around the shops,
from their outlook,
I could tell they were visitors from mainland China.
It was really a funny picture comparing with the other pedestrians.

I really wanted to take a picture of them,
but gave up at last,
as I didn't want to get into trouble!
 

All about Love

Just few nights,
I finished the book written by the Taiwanese writer Ms Liu Hsia
- "Hsinglintzu"(杏林子),
I love the stories very much,
because I could enjoy it at my leisure time,
at a relaxing mood,
and getting to know several great stories about love.

Actually,
if we pay attention,
we can find plenty of love stories around us,
there are a lot of love stories in the world!

Something is missing

Under such extraordinary hot weather,
I have stopped going out for exercises,
thus,
for the past few weeks,
my routine has slightly changed,
and it seems that I miss something to do.

Hope the summer is ready to leave,
and the beautiful autumn comes!

人生交叉點Crossroad in life

This afternoon,
heard a familiar voice outside my office,
it was N from Portugal,
who stopped by and said hello to us.

It was two years ago,
he decided to go back to Portugal where his permanent job and pension fund was there.
If he could choose,
he said he would like to stay in Macau,
where he has a lot of friends and he loves the life style here.

Not long after he was back to Europe,
the economy of Portugal has becoming worse.

During his adjustment period,
we know he would be homesick for Macau,
and may be back to Macau one day.

More than Two and a half years has passed,
ten days ago,
he came back to Macau for a prospect job arrangement,
however,
it didn't work out at last.

He said he also made some good contacts for job during this brief visit,
but no time for our gathering,
as he is leaving tomorrow morning.

Good to hear the news that he decided to come back,
bad to know that he is still searching for the job,
and in our conversation,
he worried the high rent and inflation here.

Life is full of decisions,
though there are  a lot of uncertainties ahead,
we need to make our own decision,
we don't know whether it is good or not,
but at least,
we give it a try,
we have a better insight ahead!

書緣

每天都經過星光書店,
但已很久 沒有入內打書釘,
不禁回想從前看課外書的日子.

小時候,
爸爸每天都買華僑報,
喜歡看它的副刊,
周末則買香港的星島,
內容更是豐富精彩,
舅父則訂閱讀者文摘,
我都可以找到我喜歡看的內容,
津津有味,
閒時爸爸又買我一些漂亮的書-
兒童樂園,老夫子,13 點,
目不暇給.

稍大時,
哥哥更是看書超廣的人,
我亦有大量的科技書本補充,
近在眼前,
不費吹灰之力,
包括可以早同學一步,
有所認識,
數,理,化,英.....
唯一欠缺的是小品,愛情小說,.

至上中學時,
校內小小的圖書館
第一個給我遇上的是杏林子的作品,
之後,
反而是S借給我的嚴沁小說,
給我沉醉於少女夢.

中學畢業後,
K借給我她的紅樓夢,
竟然給我在很短時間內把上下兩冊看完,
真是令我自豪.

之後有一段時間,
周末有空,
必定往星光打書釘,
只看不買.
開始認識很多中文作家的作品.

那時,
除了讀會計的課本,
很少看英文讀物,
更可況是英文小說.

此外,
記得去美國讀書的學校資料,
都是多得從書店的書本取得,
滿足我完成大學的夢想.
上大學時,
注重資訊,
一有空就往圖書館去,
每天及每周看大量的報紙及雜誌-Wallstreet,newsweek, Economist. HBR,..
亦培養了速讀及精讀的樂趣,
如今亦是書不離手的書呆子.
在書海中,
我是如此渺少,
但我仍是一個貪心的人!

青玉案-辛棄疾


東風夜放花千樹,
更吹落,
星如雨,
寶馬雕車香滿路,
鳳簫聲動,
玉壺光轉,
一夜魚龍舞。
蛾兒、
雪柳、
黃金縷,
笑語盈盈暗香去,
眾裡尋他千百度,
驀然回首,
那人卻在燈火蘭珊處。

母親的故事

My day?


In the afternoon,
L's son from England commented my e-mail English,
simple, clear and precise.

Early evening,
met E's mother on the street,
while she was with one of the ladies from my dancing class,
we didn't know each other very much,
as I am not very talkative in my dancing class,
this lady complimented my dance.

Thanks for all the compliments,
in certain occasion,
I am just a little bit better,
as I started the learning process a little bit earlier,
anyway,
I need a quote to remind myself!


無論在什麽時候,
永遠不要以為自己已經知道了一切。
不管人們把你們評價的多麽高,
但你們永遠要有勇氣對自己說:
我是個毫無所知的人。
—— 巴甫洛夫
 
 
 
 

豬扒蛋飽

下午茶於西灣的西灣安記,
原本想飲小小東西,
一眼看見有豬扒蛋飽,
心想,
很吸引,
惟中午已食了很多東西,
問K是否願意和我分享一半,
結果要了一個試,
新鮮出爐的豬仔飽,
加上剛炸好的入味豬扒及煎蛋,
很豐富,
很有滿足感,
較MacDonald的來得更親切美味,
另外叫了無花果蜜,
一次滿足了我的食慾及周日聚舊暢談兩個目的!

GOOD NEWS FROM SIU

Skype with S,
and got a good new from her,
excited to share her BIG news!
Wish her all the best and I am counting the days for her.

富豪海鮮酒家

最近該酒家新裝修完,
今天上去飲茶,
很"新"鮮的感覺,
包括那建築裝修物料的味非常重,
地方很寬闊,
人不是很多,
不用等位,
坐得也算舒服
有很多高級海鮮,
夜晚做火鍋,
食物選擇很多,
餐牌上看見一個叫大牌檔炒鴛鴦,
查問下原來是芽菜炒粉及麵,
因為酒樓的炒粉及麵都是差不多,
所以叫了一個,
雖然用了接近2倍多街市的大牌檔價,
上桌是很有鑊氣,
但也算是大廚的功夫,
色香味齊,
其他的食物都不錯,
混醬腸粉非常滑,
雞腳很入味及剛好嚼碎,
小籠包很多汁,
小小的迷你珍珠雞不怕油膩,
牛肉球很爽甜(有馬蹄),
馬拉糕也很不錯,
總括來說,
有一定水準!

三鄕-銘珠粥粉

星期六早上,
來了一個巴士遊,
終點是中山三鄉,
路過一間新店,
早上已10時多,
店內仍很多人,
招牌是馳名的三鄕濑粉
吸引了我入內,
正猶豫食什麼時,
想吃牛腩,
老板說已賣完,
改叫燒鴨濑粉,
心想,
不要給我一絲絲小片的肉,
我寧願收貴一些,
端上來的是一碗有5-6塊燒鴨湯濑粉,
也算有肉,
濑粉很爽滑,
雖然一定有味精,
但整體是好味的,
原來只是人民幣7元,
經濟實惠早餐.

此店原來有很多店,
成功有道理!

金沙888自助餐 Sands 888 Buffet - 2012.8.24

因為從未試過吃金沙888的自助餐,
同事說本月有葡國燒乳豬,
所以終於試了,
真的是很失望,
沒有什麼驚喜,
又沒有亮點,
食物普通,
服務一般,
兩個字,
不值!

11 golden rules to live by

http://www.savvysugar.com/?page=4

Working hard and being smart with your money aren't things you just should do because they seem virtuous — these behaviors ultimately allow you to get more enjoyment out of life. You'll have no regrets when you're able to accomplish what's important to you because of your savvy ways. These are 11 golden rules that I try to live by; click through and then make a list of your own.

Live Within Your Means

In order to be truly independent, it's imperative to live within your means. Your freedom is limited by owing money to anyone, whether it's a credit card company or a family member, so set yourself up for an unrestricted life by saving for the things you want and spending with a plan.

Work Hard

Your job and the salary you command are your biggest assets in building wealth. Do your best at work and take the steps to make yourself indispensable to set yourself up for the highest level of success.

Research Before You Act

Whether you're comparing travel package and a la carte prices for a vacation or looking up a company to see if it's legitimate, research is almost always worth your time.

Avoid Buyer's Remorse

Feeling guilty just doesn't sit well. Avoid buyer's remorse by asking yourself these questions before making a purchase: Do I love it? How often would I wear or use it? Can I afford it? Could I find it cheaper somewhere else?

Avoid Saver's Remorse

There is such a thing as being too thrifty for your own good. What's the point of squirreling away so much cash if you can't splurge occasionally on yourself and others? Include an amount of discretionary money into your budget to spend on things that you might not desperately need, but would make you smile.

Strive For Happiness

Finding a job that makes you happy most of the time is possible, and it's worth taking risks to discover what fulfills you. If for one reason or another you're stuck in a position that isn't ideal, at least strive to end your day with something that does make you happy.

Go For Quality, Not Quantity

Stuffing your closet with items that will fall apart in three months is a silly way to spend your hard earned cash. Buy a smaller quantity of things that are made to last, and you'll be the owner of higher quality items that look and feel like they're worth your money.

Face Your Weaknesses Head-On

We're not perfect, but admitting that you have weaknesses and doing your best to improve will allow you to continue growing. Invest time in yourself to be the most well-rounded person you can be.

Save For the Predictable and the Unexpected

We're all going to face retirement someday, and the best time to save for it is now. The golden years are inevitable. On the other hand, we also need to be prepared for the unexpected, like job loss or a medical emergency, so that we can remain in control of our finances even when other things aren't going our way.

Negotiate

Doors aren't closed until you hear the word no. Negotiating things like salary and benefits can get you ahead of the game, and all you need is the confidence to ask.

Set Goals on Top of Goals

Cap the feeling that you're going through the motions by revising your goals when you've accomplished your old ones. Whether it's saving for a vacation to a place you've always wanted to visit or considering the next step in your career, there's always something to keep you moving and motivated.

5 Important Questions to Ask Yourself Every Day

http://www.lifehack.org/articles/communication/5-important-questions-to-ask-yourself-every-day.html#

1. What was the best thing that happened to me today?

This question helps us to be positive, happy and appreciative.

2. What could I have done better today?

What mistake did you make that you will avoid in the future? Think about ways to improve in this area in the future.

3. What is the most important thing I must accomplish tomorrow?

This question will help you focus on what is essential.

4. What new thing can I try tomorrow?

Life is a journey of discovery. We need to keep trying new things every day, no matter our age. What new approach or experience can you try?

5. Who is the most important person (or most important people) in my life and what am I doing for them?

Creative Director / Professional Photographer

Because of work,
met a professional photographer,
my impression to him was not good,
for the first meeting,
he was late for 10 minutes,
for the second meeting,
he was late again - for 30 minutes,
I called to reconfirm the meeting time,
he didn't answer my phone.

By the time he arrived the meeting room,
he asked - "Aircon, please!",
it seemed that he ran to catch up the time.

I realised that he didn't have a watch with him,
and at the end of the meeting,
he said the didn't bring his mobile,
and asked for using the phone to call people to pick him up,
what an artist 's style!!

Sometimes it is good to live without watch/ mobile,
but for a work life,
I think watch and mobile are important.

By the way - he is a portuguese !

天丁醬油

因為喜歡吃麵,
對醬油有一定要求,
不斷尋找有新驚喜的牌子,
家中常用的是日本的昆布醬油,
早前試了一隻說沒有防腐劑的頭抽豉油,
惜沒有什麼特別,
最新試了一間老店出品的"天丁醬油",
為老抽,
撈麵不錯!

轉來的小故事:

簡單單的被關心的感覺
一位退休教授,跟老妻過著優游的生活,早上一起爬上小山崗舒展筋骨,下午他料理陽台的花草,又或看看雜誌,妻子則和朋友到咖啡室聊天。他們唯一的女兒,在美國定居。
一個晚上,朦朧間他感到床墊濕了,是老妻尿床。他推推她,發覺她已沒有反應。
節哀順變。」不少親戚朋友說。「謝謝關心,我會的。」
他極有禮貌地回答,沒失方寸,一派學者風範。暗地裡,他部署一切。花草贈給鄰居,向人借的書籍郵寄送還,然後,走上律師樓立遺囑。全部準備好了。在月圓的晚上,銀光薄薄的灑滿一室,他亮起微黃的檯燈,寫下最後的話。面前,是一瓶藥丸。瓶子上,他看見老妻微笑。
就在他打開瓶蓋的時刻,電話響起。他拿起電話筒,一把熟悉的聲音傳來:「爸爸,我在機場,我好想陪陪你。」他猛然醒覺。
老教授向我說完他的故事,喝一口香片,緩緩道:「最有效防止自殺的東西,不是學術修養,不是心理醫生,不是豐厚財富,原來是一種簡簡單單的關心的感覺。」
因為重要,請多傳一次:
1.
這個社會病態報導多,鼓勵人心的少。
2.
我們其實是他人豐厚財富的一部分,值得多存一些。
於是我轉貼了上述的小文.

Getting in the bus.

In facebook, J posted a picture with the following comment:

"Sneaking through the back door - The problem of (Macau) traffic is not only infrastructure but also (some) people..."


I presented mine as:
"Agree, but it seems to me some of "that kind"of people are from mainland China, or some of them are picking up the "chinese" way of doing things from China"

六個故事的重要啟示

Forwarded from my friend Angela, nice sharing!


一. 7年前他為了出國拋棄了未婚妻,現在事業有成,他開始愧疚,聽說她過的不好,他想去彌補。­

他去到了她的魚攤,她在刮鱗,邊上蹲著一個男娃,模樣有幾分像他,他心裡一震。­

她突然停下,指著隔壁攤的男人:你咋還不給孩子做飯呢!他松了口氣,轉身走了。­

她遞根煙給隔壁攤男人:剛才不好意思­

【 不願意做你的累贅 不願意讓你帶著愧疚過一生 】­



二. 父親在洗車, 兒子拿起小石頭在車門上劃起來. 父親見此大怒, 拿起扳手就打了下去,

後來兒子被送到醫院, 證實手指骨折. 面對父親, 兒子輕聲說道: "爸爸,手指會好的,

不要擔心了." 父親內心無比自責. 一怒之下, 沖回去要把自己的汽車給砸了.

他看見兒子劃的痕跡: "爸爸, 我愛你."­

【 有些事是否在看清之後再做決定更好呢 】­



三. 草原上有對獅子母子。小獅子問母獅子:“媽,幸福在哪裡?”母獅子說:“幸福就在你的尾巴上。”

於是小獅子不斷追著尾巴跑,但始終咬不到。母獅子笑道:“傻瓜!幸福不是這樣得到的!

只要你昂首向前走,幸福就會一直跟隨著你!”。 ­

【 刻意的追尋 不如勇敢的往前走 成功又有多遠呢 】­



四. 有一個盲了的女孩,她一無所有,只剩下她男朋友,男朋友問她:“如果你眼睛好了,能和我結婚嗎?”

女孩答應了。­很快,女孩可以移植新視角膜,也很快回復視力,但她發現她男朋友也是盲的。

男朋友向她求婚,女孩拒絕了,最後男孩只說了一句話:“take care of my eyes.”­

【 照顧好我的眼睛 】­



五. 他向她求婚時,只說了三個字:相信我;­

她為他生下第一個女兒的時候,他對她說:辛苦了;­

女兒出嫁那天,他摟著她的肩說:還有我;­

他收到她病危的那天,重複的對她說:我在這;­

她要走的那一刻,他親吻她的額頭輕聲說:你等我。­

這一生,他沒有對他說過一次“我愛你”,但愛,從未離開過。 ­

【 這個世界有不會表白的人 但誰說他們一定缺少愛 】­



六.兒子養不起年邁的母親,決定把她背上山丟下去。傍晚,兒子說要背母親上山走走,

母親吃力地爬上他的背。他一路都在想爬高點再丟下她,當看到母親在他背上偷偷往路上灑豆子,

他很生氣地問:“你灑豆子幹什麼?”結果母親的回答讓他淚流滿面:“傻兒子,

我怕你等會兒一個人下山會迷路。” ­

【 父母的愛伴隨著你一生 哪怕他們已經年邁 】



拜讀完這六個故事以後我感觸良多,轉來跟朋友們共享。故事也許不只是故事,內中蘊含著大道理,只要我們善於感悟,就一定會受益無窮的。

Urgent local problems cannot be solved by distant resources.

"遠水不能求近火"

Received a call from my friend,
and was asked to do something,
I am not reluctantly to do so,
but considering the fact -
"one cannot fight a fire with water from far away",
I am afraid that the effort is very minimum.

What a Tourist City!

Hot summer time,
with a lot of tourists in the Largo Senado area,
the crowded streets remind me the time when I was in Santorini,
that means the places are just for the visitors.

This afternoon,
when I was waiting for the transportation back from Venetian to Macau,
I was among a lot of mainland visitors,
it seems that Venetian didn't have a good management on the allocation of the resources,
on the busy weekends,
with a lot of tourists,
for every 20 minutes,
only a small bus with 20+ seats for transportation to the Nam Yuen Pier,
which is closer to Largo Senado,
the heart of old town Macau,
as a result,
the queueing line was extremely long,
the people were getting angry,
when the bus came,
all the people in front rushed to the bus,
trying to get in the bus as quick as possible,
it was really chaos.
all of the people there were mainland visitors,
the bus was quickly overloaded,
thus , the driver asked the people without seat to leave,
however, no one did so,
the staff and the driver called the security guards and explained to them,
the bus could not leave with overloaded passengers.
still, all the people inside the bus kept on sitting,
nobody came out even though the other bus came.

I was in the second bus,
and got in and left the crowded place,
don't know the outcome of the people in that bus.

My father commented that -
the place is like Gongbei,
I was inspired by his comment,
yes, Macau is really a mainland city,
it is not an internaitonal city,
in terms of the quality of the people (visitors) here.

小美人結婚了818

昨天在Facebook 第一次看見Maria M的status 是 on line,
且時間是非常長久,
只是say 了一聲hi,
數小時後看見她的婚訊,
"I'm getting married in the morning, ding dong the bells are gonna chime..."
她在教堂結婚的消息各人欣喜萬分,
回想她的典型白女孩的特徵,
蘋果型的臉蛋,
藍色的眼珠,
短而帶微曲的金色頭髮,
與林青霞少女時的面型輪廓很似,
白嫩的皮膚,
附帶上一點點的雀斑,
她是念歷史系的,
在軌跡上從沒有和她同課或一起工作,
只不過是朋友Delois 及Shilley的宿舍朋友.
彼此在飯堂及看電影的時間聚在一起而認識的,
她永遠面帶笑容,
和藹可親,
說話甜美且有分析力,
故有很多異性追求者.
真的很開心她找到了她的Mr. Right!
在地球的另一方送上遙遠的祝福.

Additional note - 2012.8.23
I just learned that with her husband's previous marriage, Maria gets 3 young grandkids, unbelievable!!!!!!
So nice!


周日下午四點的午餐- 拉麵小路

,


因為看畫展,
遲了吃午飯,
最後在小路吃拉麵 -
秘製醬油豚肉拉麵,
已是下午茶時間,
不用等位,
上麵的時間也算快
端上來的白色碗子非常熱,
盛著淺棕色醬油弄成的豬骨湯,
是全碗麵的靈魂,
回味無窮
明顯是下了很多功夫,
拉麵外有豚肉,大豆芽,紫菜,海帶絲,蔥粒,芝麻,
拉麵沒有什麼特別,
但是,已是不錯的了.
48元,服務很好呢.

NIce talk and update

Don't like to call people very often,
as I don't know whether it is right time or not,
but for close friends,
we usually know each other's schedule and once in a while have a great chat on weekends.

Yesterday chatted with M and this morning chatted with K,
had a great talk and exchanged news,
nice to hear K is going to have two trips in coming September and October,
especially the one to eastern europe!

渭城朝雨浥輕塵,客舍青青柳色新。
勸君更進一杯酒,西出陽關無故人。

觀書有感    朱熹


半畝方塘一鑑開,天光雲影共徘徊;
問渠那得清如許,為有源頭活水來。
昨夜江邊春水生,艨艟巨艦一毛輕;
向來枉費推移力,此日中流自在行。

贈劉景文  蘇軾


荷盡已無擎雨蓋,菊殘猶有傲霜枝;
一年好景君須記,最是橙黃橘綠時。

金縷衣   杜秋娘


勸君莫惜金縷衣,勸君惜取少年時;
有花堪折直須折,莫待無花空折枝。

有約  司馬光


黃梅時節家家雨,青草池鎕處處蛙;
有約不來過夜半,閒敲棋子落燈花。

"獨愁" - 孟郊

獨愁(一作獨怨,一作贈韓愈)

前日遠別離,昨日生白髮。
欲知萬里情,曉臥半床月。
常恐百蟲鳴,使我芳草歇。

Conversar

Quando acabei os meus cursos de universidade,
voltei para Macau.
Não mante contato bem com os meus colegas muito,
porque não tenho muito tempo para escrever.

Como a semana passada,
arranjarmos o tempo da premeira vez - de falar com a minha colega de E.U.A.,
mas, não cosegui de acordei muito cedo de 6 de manhã de Sábado.

Por isso,
outra vez fixamos hoje para a conversar - o tempo da minha manhã e a noite dela.

Esta manhã,
acordei cedo e tomei um bom pequeno-almoço,
mas,
não consegui-la,
apenas a sua caixa de correio de voz,
uma vez que ela trabalha em turnos,
eu não sei quando podemos nos encontrar no ar.

An unexpected half-day off

Thanks for the typhoon Kai Tak,
no need to go to work on the beautiful Friday morning,
the streets were very quiet,
no rain,
no storm,
and many people stayed outdoor with the No.8 signal was still on,
most of the shops starts their normal business at 10,
while the wet market, banks, government departments are still closed.

What a nice Friday morning,
I gain some extra time,
and making a special soup at home!

Song - 一點光 Shine a light


〈一點光 (Shine a light)〉
主唱:譚詠麟
曲:Timothy Gordine / Andrew Jackson
詞 : 向雪懷
編曲:劉志遠 監製:Joseph Ip

遠方這一片天
正偷偷看我怎麼做
怎麼一對手 可伸進這風暴 ~ oh..
找到風缺口 何以不好 ~
是否不屈 ~膝 避不開給雨推倒

前面或許就是懸崖
仍然活得相當痛快
能陪伴所愛 這刻不太壞 ~
你手中一點光送我
逃離在黑夜被長埋
頭頂天的我 不怕失 ~ 敗 ~
So shine your light Shine your light

有你給我溫暖的 身擋衝擊會很驕傲
只跟雙腳走 可走進了新的路 ~
不想 失去的 才會得到
或者不憂 ~心 便不必朝晚祝禱 ~

在前面或許就是懸崖
仍然活得相當痛快
能陪伴所愛 這刻不太壞 ~
你手中一點光送我
逃離在黑夜被長埋
頭頂天的我 不怕失 ~ 敗 ~
Shine a light Shine a light
Shine a light Shine a light light




So shine a light Shine a light

With all my best wishes

Two weeks ago,
met my schoolmate on the street and learned that one of our teachers L broke her arms for almost two months,
since I am the kind of coordinator among our school friends,
thus I passed the message to F. and with the mobile phone number of Ms. L.

Tonight,
F called and told me that she phoned Ms. L and got the update that she had an operation,
as after the accident of her broken arm,
with a further medical check up,
something was found in her lung,
she has been in the hospital for almost two months,
and just came home two days ago,
she is still in her recovery phase,
and also,
she needs togo through several treatments,
I hope she can recover as soon as possible,
even though it will be a long battle!

好心做壞事 - 愈幫愈忙

有時,
最需要幫忙的時候,
有求於人,
希望能幫一下,
怎知,
好人實在是太好人了,
愈幫愈忙,
真是感激萬分!

辦證記

我的葡國護照已到期,
兩個多月前已預約換領新的護照,
等到頸長,
昨天終於可以去領事館辦理.
不過,
心情可是一般.

回歸前土生土長的澳門中國人
持有葡國護照,
為的是出行較方便.

炎熱的中午,
在户外的辦公室門外等了一段時間,
之後遇到一位高傲的葡籍中年土生女士,
她的工作態度.......

"不要問我,詢問處在另外一邊"
"不要大聲說話!"
"你有無knowledge 架?"
"這是我的工作,不關你事!"
"不要全部給我!"
"這些副本很差!"

只是一個前台的接待員工,
語氣真是有點那個,
因為是第六號籌,
她對每一前來辦證人士的態度,
全部給我看得清清楚楚,
十足十回到回歸前,
自己提點自己,
身處的是葡萄牙領事館!

過了高傲女士的第一關,
又是等,
最中間的影相,核對資料部分的職員,
至收款的出納工作態度都較好,
不覺間全程用了1.5小時,
我的午飯休息時間就此消失了!
