The difference of being a captain and a waiter
Whenever I was in the Chinese Restaurant for Yam Cha, I like to observe things around.
Today I saw one interesting comparison.
There were two tea pots on my table, one was needed to fill water, while one was about 1/3 full, I opened the empty one to signal for refilling.
The captain passed by, he immediately also checked with the other pot on the table, then, he took away both pots and refill them all at one time.
Most of the time, I realise that the waiters would only refill with the one that you ask for.
When I was appraising the efficiency of the captain, I also saw the other waiter holding the pot. He looked like that he had lost his way as he had just finished adding the hot water, however, it seemed that he forgot the location of the table, and he was trying to find out where did he take the pot and should return to the same place.
Don't overlook tiny things. No matter what, we should always pay our heart to do, then we will get good result easily.
Today, I can easily learn simple thing can reflect what is professional.

Last weekend of October 2010
I had a very beautiful weekend, as the weather was so nice and there were so many good programs for me.
As I didn't need to take line dance lesson on this Saturday morning, went to the beautiful island - Kei Ou Island of Zhuhai with my father.
Actually F called and asked me if I would like to go one tourist spot (牌坊) in Zhuhai, but I have promised my father first, therefore I didn't join.
I enjoyed the quietness of the tiny village which is my father's home town. Though I didn't have any attachment of this place and there are not many people ( especially most of the youths have left) in the village, I like the old houses, the trees, and I missed the time to visit the red forest this time - definitely I would love to go again to see the forest.
I took some pictures, unfortunately, my camera didn't have battery, and I could not take many.
My schedule was so tight on Sunday too, went to Yam Cha in the morning, and in the afternoon, went to the Government House as today was the open day, then headed to Taipa as the Festival Lusofonia was there, I successfully took lots of gorgeous pictures.
The time waiting outside the Government House to enter the building was pretty long, in addition, I didn't understand why the staff took all the waiting people's pictures, it was very annoying, not me, the other people also had this feeling, for what purpose?? for their record?
Nothing very exciting inside the Government House but the garden, I like the plants and the gorgeous flowers, nice for the pictures.
For the time spending in Lusofonia, I also met some old friends. I had a very good feeling that I was in a very special place, one could not find easily in the other places in the world, it was so original and so unique. There were so many different cultures, art work, food, drinks, games in one place! There were so many kids enjoyed the good time there.
Macau is so successful to organise this annual event, in the nice autumn.
I have a very cheerful day!!

珠海公共巴士上小偷奇遇記
星期六珠海半天遊,
回程的巴士車箱內十分多人,
上車後不久,
有一男子無端端的想製造特別擠迫感覺,
時時左靠右靠,.
心想,
小心此人.
除小心自己的背包外,
眼睛釘住四周的人.
巴士一站一站的下了人又上了很多人,
人仍是那麼多.
突然中間部分一個女子大叫小偷,
她捉住小偷,
但她沒那人有力,
被甩脫了.
雖然她已大叫,
各人也知什麼事,
但是旁邊沒有人幫忙合力把小偷捉住.
她即時走向司機告知情況,
小偷的手已進入她的袋內搜索,
在她警覺下已嘗試提住那人,
可惜沒力將他捉實.
她沒有損失.
因她的錢包在背包的下部.
司機問她是否需要報警,
沒有人出意見,
女子說不知他有否同胞一起,
她也沒有具體意見,
因為可能會浪費很多時間.
最後不了了之,
她改站在司機旁的地方
巴士亦繼續向前駛進.
當一靠站時,
車門打開,
很多人也同時下車,
故事亦終結.
只聽車上人說,
珠海現在有很多外來的人搵食!
其實,
心想,
如那女子決定報警
使那人繩之於法
就好啦!

Family education
Yesterday and today, I heard or saw something related to family education:
A little girl 's mom told her kid that if she could get over 80 marks in the exam, the mom would consider that the daughter get 100 marks. So nice, good encouragement for a small girl, there is always a good start! Besides, no matter what, all the kids are the princes and princesses of the parents.
From the TV program, a grandfather was asked the secret of being so welcome by all the grand children, he laughed and said that it was easy, gave them money! Seems that he still needs to know the appropriate time, otherwise the kids would be spoiled.
In the public toilet of a restaurant in Zhuhai, there was a long queue. Many ladies were lining up, suddenly, a little girl came in and went straight to the first (she was big enough and should be in primary school). She didn't say anything and took it for granted. I could not accept this kid to break the rule, as I knew in many places, Chinese people would easily break the rules if one started. I asked the kid to respect the rule to come back to the queue, she didn't say anything and got disappeared. I believe her parents may be the ones who break rules often.

Song - 單車
作曲:柳重言, 編曲:柳重言
監製:, 填詞:黃偉文
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MQfqBP1muc
不要不要假設我知道
一切一切也都是為我而做
為何這麼偉大 如此感覺不到
不說一句的愛有多好？
只有一次記得實在接觸到...
騎著單車的我倆 懷緊貼背的擁抱
* 難離難捨想抱緊些 茫茫人生好像荒野
如孩兒能伏於爸爸的肩膊 誰要下車
難離難捨總有一些 常情如此不可堆卸
任世間再冷酷 想起這單車還有幸福可惜
（任世間怨我壞 可知我只得你承受我的狂或野）
經已給我怎會看不到
雖說演你角色實在有難度
從來虛位以待 何不給個擁抱？
想我怎去相信這一套
多疼惜我卻不便讓我知道
懷念單車給你我 唯一有過的擁抱
難離難捨想抱緊些 茫茫人生好像荒野
如孩兒能伏於爸爸的肩膊
哪怕遙遙長路多斜
你愛我愛多些 讓我他朝走得堅壯些
你介意來愛護 又靠誰施捨
Repeat *

Progress on minimum wage in 2011: government
http://www.macaubusiness.com/news/progress-on-minimum-wage-in-2011-government/5994/
The Secretary for Economy and Finance, Francis Tam Pak Yuen, said yesterday that the government hopes to acquire “a consensus on a certain level” in 2011 regarding the implementation of a minimum wage in Macau.
Mr Tam said that such consensus could then work as a framework for Macau to begin the legislative process on this area.
“There is a possibility to launch the work on a legislation framework next year”, he added.

Agriculture Hall breakfast - Saturday breakfast in Berea's homecoming week
Got the college newsletter and learned that the homecoming week is coming.
I browsed the program and saw the activities.
One of them is the breakfast gathering.
I remember I never went for that except few of my colleagues.
I heard from my buddies that food service moved their breakfast service in the Agriculture Building for that event.
I didn't join it because the time was too early, 7:30-9:00, I was still on my bed, after the Friday's movies. I would rather like to skip for it and had a brunch !!

The sunshine is too lovely, though a little bit chilly, need to do something outdoor to enjoy the beautiful nature!!

一個律師一個醫生 置業蝕200萬的故事
(經濟日報)2010年10月28日 星期四 06:00
【經濟日報專訊】樓價愈高，市民愈想買樓，正當人人怨政府不出手幫市民上車置業，政府不斷提醒市民「97年的教訓」，但此刻，誰聽得入耳？
所謂前車可鑑，且看過來人的教訓，是否能令大家三思。一個是律師，一個是醫生，當年同樣賠上200萬元，今日他們都選擇租樓，儲足「彈藥」，樓價回落時才有本錢入市。

Halloween
(明報)2010年10月28日 星期四 05:10
【明報專訊】When the TV is flooded with commercials about haunted houses and scary movies, you know Halloween is soon to come. Halloween, which falls on October 31, is one of the oldest and most popular festivals. It is said that, on Halloween, the gap between the living and the dead dissolves and the dead may take lives. That day, to protect themselves, people honour and remember the dead.
Common Halloween activities include trick-or-treat, going out in costumes and visiting haunted houses. Nevertheless, every country has its peculiar way of celebrating Halloween..
In the US, Halloween represents religious and pagan beliefs, rituals and traditions. Though it is believed that Halloween originated in the US, it was brought to America in the 1840s by Irish immigrants who fled from famine (饑荒). Halloween celebrations officially began in the US in 1920. During the festival, people pay tribute to departed souls. Americans believe that, on Halloween, souls would come to this world to visit their living relatives.
Trick-or-treat is popular with American kids, who usually dress up in fancy costumes and "threaten" to do house owners mischief unless they give them sweets. Another popular activity is having masquerades (化裝舞會).

宜蘭「美人湯」
宜蘭五星級「美人湯」
台灣觀光局大力催谷單車結合溫泉綠色旅遊，有酒店集團選址在距台北一小時車程的宜蘭礁溪溫泉鄉，斥資 35億新台幣（折合港幣九億元）打造一間五星級溫泉飯店，目標吸引港女跳出台北到宜蘭浸泡有「美人湯」之稱的礁溪溫泉及騎乘單車。
長榮鳳凰酒店（礁溪）總經理陳泰仁表示，香港至台北來回機票連酒店兩晚住宿及膳食由 3710元起。他指除住宿外，還包早餐、下午茶、晚餐及消夜四餐，以至提供騎單車、行山等免費活動，當中最受女客歡迎的浸泡溫泉，屬碳酸氫鈉泉，無色無臭且含豐富鈣、鐵、鈉等礦物質，洗後令人皮膚光滑，故有「美人湯」之稱。

Friendship
Today heard the updates about two elderly people's friendship.
Father got a mail today, not the junk mails, not the e-mails nor the corporate mails, but a mail from his old good friend from Coloane - Uncle Yeung.
Uncle Yeung has been father's good friend over 50 years, and whenever we stop by downtown of Coloane, father would pay a visit to him.
Few days ago, uncle Yeung mailed my father a cake gift coupon for sharing his granddaughter's wedding happiness. Today, my father got it from our letter box. Though only in few words of the note. It is so nice!
Another story was from my colleague, she spent her holiday to take her mom to Portugal to visit old good friend whom could not afford the travelling back to Macau. So Wonderful!

40 - 24
Since last week, the traffic light in font of IACM has slight changed the timing system, (don't know whether many people notice that or not), the allocation time for using the cross road between the walking people has been changed from 42-22 to 40-24, I told my colleague, and she told me she didn't realise that.
With the small change, it seems that there is no big difference, but in our life, usually many things are changing gradually, we need to pay attention on that, otherwise we lose the track !

金融猛人海嘯「橫財」打貧

【明報專訊】記者見識少，甚少與銀行家交手，「認識」的股壇大班，就只有電視劇《大時代》裏為錢發狂的方展博；或荷李活 電影《華爾街》裏的大鱷Gordon Gekko。要訪問投行前高層阮勵欣，記者做足功課，知道他以往年薪動輒千萬，以為他會像Gekko般說「貪婪就是好」（Greed is good），但遇上真人，卻發現他意外的隨和平實。他說，儘管自己愛財，但相信一個人愈有錢，就愈有責任幫助社會﹕「你攬住嚿錢，唔口岩囉」。所以，兩年前他獲得一筆意外之財後，就成立了一個慈善基金，以扶助新股上市的技巧，栽培有潛質大規模發展的社會企業助人脫貧。

投資銀行總部都在中環，他住在半山，生活範圍就是中環和外國。一星期平均出差4次，往返東南亞甚至歐洲。至於九龍新界？「最長試過一兩年都無去九龍。」

怕OT薪酬低 留學生不願回港
(經濟日報)2010年10月25日 星期一 06:00
【經濟日報專訊】80後強調work to live（為生活才工作），最怕工作跟生活不平衡，不少中產家庭把孩子送海外留學 畢業後，已不願「海歸」，原因是他們怕了香港的OT文化、薪酬低、無晉升機會……有數不盡的不回港理由，寧選擇留居外地闖一番事業。
目前大學畢業生投身本港職場，月薪普遍介乎1萬至1.2萬元，有80後投訴香港薪酬低之餘，工時亦超長，有時早上9時開工，一直到凌晨2點，但晉升機會有限，與其在港「捱騾仔」，倒不如到海外住2,000呎花園洋房，每周工作35小時，毋須太大壓力，月薪也有2萬港元，以下是3名80後選擇到他鄉工作的理由。

研究﹕早退休記憶早衰
【明報專訊】「腦袋不用會生鏽」，「退休之後老得快」，原來都是至理名言。美國 學者分析13個歐美國家的數據發現，退休年齡愈早的國家，國民的記憶測驗分數愈低，顯示記性衰退愈快。本港威爾斯親王醫院 老人科顧問醫生戴樂群稱，為免智力退化，就算退了休也要「找些事做，不要光坐在家裏看電視」。
Inflation
With the appreciation of Remembi, most of the food in Macau are getting more expensive now. Not to say the daily products, like vegetables, sugar, flour, but also the bread.
In past, with a half dozen of cake gift coupon, I could get 6 pieces of bread, but today, I can only get 4 pieces - since the bread is more expensive than the assorted cakes - I think the demand for bread is higher than the assorted cakes.
The unit price of the barbecue pork bun used to be 3.5 patacas, then, 4, with few months, we need to pay 5.5 patacas.
I remember when I was small, parents told me that each bun cost only 10 cents only, but I could tell that the salary was not so high like present.
I think it is important to compare the % of component of the items or the relatively prices of the products with our salary.
With the limited earning, how much could we save for the purchase of our own house??
In addition, with the advanced technologies, some part of our expenditures also go to the telecommunications companies, think about the home fixed line, the mobile phone, the Internet charge per month, all are fixed cost in our daily life now.

誰說 時間片刻變陳舊
全為我分秒亦停留
因我 身邊有你緊握我的手
〔這份〕愛 誰說永不會長壽
陪著你一生到白頭
都能 把心中星星閃得通透
陪著你走 一生一世也不分
天天編出兩雙足印 過千山過千海
如果 走到這世界邊端
我倆已是無力前行 跟我一起飛去
請你伴我同路去

Six Keys to Being Excellent at Anything
By : Tony Schwartz
http://blogs.hbr.org/schwartz/2010/08/six-keys-to-being-excellent-at.html
Here, then, are the six keys to achieving excellence we've found are most effective for our clients:
1.Pursue what you love. Passion is an incredible motivator. It fuels focus, resilience, and perseverance.
2.Do the hardest work first. We all move instinctively toward pleasure and away from pain. Most great performers, Ericsson and others have found, delay gratification and take on the difficult work of practice in the mornings, before they do anything else. That's when most of us have the most energy and the fewest distractions.
3.Practice intensely, without interruption for short periods of no longer than 90 minutes and then take a break. Ninety minutes appears to be the maximum amount of time that we can bring the highest level of focus to any given activity. The evidence is equally strong that great performers practice no more than 4 ½ hours a day.
4.Seek expert feedback, in intermittent doses. The simpler and more precise the feedback, the more equipped you are to make adjustments. Too much feedback, too continuously, however, can create cognitive overload, increase anxiety, and interfere with learning.
5.Take regular renewal breaks. Relaxing after intense effort not only provides an opportunity to rejuvenate, but also to metabolize and embed learning. It's also during rest that the right hemisphere becomes more dominant, which can lead to creative breakthroughs.
6.Ritualize practice. Will and discipline are wildly overrated. As the researcher Roy Baumeister has found, none of us have very much of it. The best way to insure you'll take on difficult tasks is to ritualize them — build specific, inviolable times at which you do them, so that over time you do them without having to squander energy thinking about them.

15 Steps for Successful Strategic Alliances (and Marriages)
http://blogs.hbr.org/kanter/2010/06/15-steps-for-successful-strate.html?loomia_ow=t0:s0:a38:g4:r2:c0.000000:b0:z6
1. Be open to romance, but court carefully. At the beginning of new relationships, selective perceptions reinforce dreams, not dangers. Potential partners see in the other what they want to see, believing what they want to believe. Hopes, dreams, and visions should be balanced by reality checks.
2. Know yourself. Build your strengths. An organization seeking partners should identify assets that have value to partners and strengthen them. Networks of the weak do not survive. The best alliances join strength to strength.
3. Seek compatibility in values. In rapidly changing environments, compatibility in values, philosophy and goals is more important than specific features of an immediate business deal. The basis for collaboration must be more enduring, and there must be a foundation for mutual trust to help weather inevitable changes or problems.

12 Things Good Bosses Believe

by Robert I. Sutton
In both cases, my approach has been to be as evidence-based as possible. That is, I avoid giving any advice that isn't rooted in real proof of efficacy; I want to pass along the techniques and behaviors that are grounded in sound research. It seems to me that, by adopting the habits of good bosses and shunning the sins of bad bosses, anyone can do a better job overseeing the work of others.
