內容簡介透過兩性彼此的支持，讓愛每天成長

365則啟示，每天一篇，提醒你注意兩性的差別，

並指點迷津，讓你看清男女的歧異，促使彼此合作。

男生女生大不同，人類本來就各具天性，

因性別不同，相處起來容易產生摩擦和歧異。

一味要求對方改變，只會製造更多的誤解，

不如放棄成見，接納彼此，深入了解異性，

不僅能使我們安心自在，更能與伴侶建立良好的愛的互動。

或許你早已知道，許多兩性間的衝突都是源自雙方不同的思考和行為模式，但在面對親密伴侶的那一刻，你卻很容易將這些差異拋諸腦後，一心只想著對方不如你意的地方，結果非但問題沒有解決，你也可能埋下了日後爭執、甚至分手的種子。

因此，為了幫助你時時牢記男女的基本差異與因應之道，作者葛瑞運用日記的形式，將所有精闢的見解分成十二個主題，並化為三百六十五則貼心的建議與叮嚀。透過這些雋永的短文，希望你不僅能從中學會兩性相處的訣竅，建立渴望的情愛關係，同時更能深深體會愛的力量與美好！

Aug 1 in Macau

August 1 2011 will be a very special date in Macau  as there will be a big reform for the public transportation service here, three public transportation companies (one is new) will run different routes of the buses, that means, the majority of the routes run by the existing company will no longer run by it, under this condition, the citizens may be quite confused of the different color of the buses,  and some how, definitely it will affect our daily life.

I even don't know what is going to change, as they didn't do much ( may be not enough) to make the citizens to familiar, I just wonder why they didn't make it a soft landing.

My father likes to take buses (for senior citizens each trip is only 0.30 patacas), and I warned him it is better to be careful when taking the bus, otherwise, if the bus goes to a place that it is not quite familiar, it will be very troublesome.

I got a good answer from him - don't worry, just get a taxi - it is true, if you have money, nothing is a problem.

However, getting a taxi is not easy in Macau, as every day I can see a long queue of people waiting for the taxi in San Ma Lou.

It takes many years to understand these eight statements

Read this article over Internet, I really think they are very meaningful statements, thus, I try to translate into English (it is only a roughly translation)-

多少歲以後你才能讀懂這八句話
How many years for you to understand the following eight statements.

一、若愛，請深愛。放棄， 請徹底。等待，本身就是一個錯誤......不要輕易放棄本不該放棄的，也不要固執的堅持不該堅持的。
1. If you love someone, please make yourself completely in love with him/her. If you give up something, make sure it is 100% doing so. Waiting itself is a mistake, don't give up easily if it is not worth it, and don't be stubborn to keep on holding it if it is not worth to hold it forever.

二、看的開一點，傷的就會少一點.....一個人要是捨得讓你傷心，就根本不會在乎你是否流淚。所以趕緊收起你那卑微的淚水。洗洗臉、刷刷牙，該幹嘛就幹嘛去吧...
2. Think widely, then, the chance to get hurt will be slimmer. If a person doesn't care on hurting you, he/she would not care whether you cry. Therefore, no need to cry anymore, wash your face, brush your teeth, do whatever you want...

三、許多事情，總是在經歷以後才會懂得，如感情：錯過了，遺憾了，才知道其實生活並不需要這麽多無謂的執著......
3. For many kinds of things, we experience, then we understand, e.g. love - we regret that we miss it, then, we know that we need not to have so many unnecessary principles or rules....

四、秋天，殘忍的季節，成熟不成熟的都要一同收割。一切都會在秋冬交替的剎那間隨風而逝，唯有那一泓鮮亮山溪般的記憶永遠在我心中嘩嘩流動... ...
4. Fall is a cruel season, no matter whether the fruits are ripen or not, all of them should be collected. All will be gone during the transition from fall to winter, in such a quick moment, the only thing still alive in my mind, like the stream in the hill side, is my memory...

五、珍惜手邊的幸福，不要等到失去以後才悔不當初，也許。你的一生也就只有那麽一個人會真正用心在你身上......
5. Treasure the happiness in hand, don't wait until you lose it, may be, in your life, there is only one person who loves you so deeply...

六、人生就像一列車，車上總有形形色色的人穿梭往來。你也可能會在車上遇到很多有緣分的人，但當車停下來的時候，總會有人從人生這列車上上下下，當你下去的時候揮揮手，一轉身你能記住的只有回家的路......
6. Life is like a train, there are so many different kinds of people coming in and going out in the train, passing by you. You may meet many people by chances, in fate, but when the train stops, there are always people getting in or out, when you walk out to greet them, and turn back, you can only remember that, there is only a path back to your home....

七、有的人你看了一輩子，卻忽視了一輩子。有的人你看了一眼，卻影響到你的一生。有的人熱情的為你而快樂，卻被你冷落。有的人讓你擁有短暫的開心，卻得到你思緒的連鎖。有的人一廂情願了N年，卻被你拒絕了N年......

7. For some people, you be with them for your whole life, but may be you overlook them for the whole life. Some people you meet them once, but they influence your whole life. Some people are eagerly to make you happy, but are turned down by you. Some people only make you  a very short sweet moment, but occupy your heart wholly. Some people are willing to wait for you for n years, but get rejected for n year....

八、不要欠朋友太多東西，因為你可能永遠都沒有機會還他......經歷過的永遠不會從來 擁有的只有回憶。朋友請珍惜身邊所擁有的一切吧 ！

8. Don't borrow many things from your friends, because you may never get the chance to return them... The experiences will never come back again, the only thing you own is memory. Therefore, dear friends, treasure all you have in your life!

HK has finest civil service- 31/7/2011

http://www.news.gov.hk/en/categories/admin/html/2011/07/20110730_102304.shtml

作為領袖的八大條件，包括有誠信、愛國愛港、謙卑自省、抱持願景、勤勉用心、反應靈敏、重視溝通和有好的團隊。

Chief Executive Donald Tsang says Hong Kong has the finest civil service and the Government will continue to deliver what Hong Kong people need in future days, in particular sustaining prosperity and protecting its own value system.

Speaking to the media after attending a leadership conference today, Mr Tsang said the Government must continue to nurture young civil servants by devoting time to their training.

“You have heard many national leaders have praised their [civil servants’] achievement and their ability in the past. I am quite confident they are going to deliver what Hong Kong people needs in the future days, in particular sustaining prosperity and protecting our own value system,” he said.

When addressing the forum earlier, Mr Tsang said integrity and passion are two essential elements in a politician.
“The leadership of a politician is founded on the personal qualities he possesses and projects by his actions and words. Integrity comes first. You need the highest moral and ethical standards because without them you will never be able to build trust with the community that you lead and serve,” he said.

“Next comes passion – passion for the people of Hong Kong… In the broader context, passion for our country, or patriotism, is just as important for a leader of Hong Kong.”

He said leadership also requires vision – a vision that is relevant to the people, relevant to the time, and possible to achieve, and to ensure the vision – policies and planning for the longer term – are clearly explained and articulated to the people.

“To use an often quoted phrase: You can’t just talk the talk; you have to walk the walk. If you believe in your vision, you need to fight the good fight because, if you don’t, that will ultimately erode your credibility,” he said.

“You also need to be diligent in listening to people’s views. It’s not easy or pleasant to change your plans or approach because, of course, you already believe it has been well thought through! But in my experience, no plan is perfect and often you can improve it by taking on board some new ideas or perspectives; or by acknowledging that community priorities have changed or moved on.”

Mr Tsang said he has a dedicated group of Principal Officials supported by a political cadre as his immediate team, and has the support and input of one of the finest civil services in the world, which works hand-in-hand with the political team to undertake policy and administrative planning, and to see through the implementation of the Government's policies and decisions.

“All along the chain of command there are teams of people attending to the details of the daily business of government. And every team, in every division, of every department is important for the smooth and efficient running of Hong Kong,” he said.

Thai Dinner in Lan Fa

There are a number of Thai Restaurants,

and some of them are located in the very near-by area,

which is very closed to my home.

Last night,

after the final exam of my course,

was very hungry,

and went to this restaurant for take my late dinner.

There was only a table of customers eating there,

it was quiet for Friday night,

I guessed,

The decoration of the restaurant is in Thai style,

very special in this area.

The menu comes with the photos,

which are very attractive,

the prices are so so,

plus 10% servcie charge.

I ordered the food immediately:

baked shrimps with glass noodles,
pineapple fired rice,
fried vegetables,
young coconut.

The vegetables came first,

then the pineapple fired rice,

the first two dishes were ok,

the last was the baked shrimps with glass noodles (the most expensive dish),

I could not see any shrimps,

but the vermicelli in brown sauce was full of the little hot pot,

later noticed it was at the bottom part,

there was only 2 tiny shrimps,

with the head in deep dark color - signs of stale.

At the same time,

when I almost finished the rice,

inside the rice,

there was a tiny shrimp -

the only one in the pineapple fried rice,

it was in pale white color,

no taste at all.

kind of very disappointed,

as the price didn't match the quality and quantity of the dish in this resaurant,

plus, I didn't see any customer service.

Because the restaurant closes at 11,

thus I need to rush to finish my food.

When I left the restaurant,

I could conclude that why on Friday night,

there were not many customers inside.

That also explained the food was not fresh -

and actually this is the most important thing for the restaurant.

Will I come back again,

I have a doubt.

我尚未瘋

早上收音機的節目主持人,

說現在人人一有空時,

都手指指的玩弄手上的i-phone,

真是"我瘋了",

想起某天晚上在外吃東西,

全場坐滿很多男男女女的年輕人,

但很多都是少有交流,

各自"瘋",

這是潮流,

但,

我,

還是未瘋!

左右紅藍綠 - 東非糧荒情況

2010.7.22
Watched the program from TV, realise that there are so many unlucky people in the world, we should do something...

http://programme.rthk.org.hk/rthk/tv/programme.php?name=tv/pentaprismII&d=2011-07-22&p=4101&e=146650&m=episode


凌君慧 宣明會傳訊總監

在非洲東部的肯尼亞、索馬里和埃塞俄比亞，正遭遇六十年來最嚴峻的旱情，再加上糧價飆升等因素，這三個地方合共過千萬人正陷入糧荒，亟待各界援助。在一些受災嚴重的地區，降雨量不足比率高達八成，旱災持續惡化，使農作物失收，居民及牲畜均嚴重缺糧，糧價飆升導致糧食危機越趨嚴峻。

目前肯尼亞受災的人數達三百五十萬，東北地區更瀕臨饑荒邊緣。埃塞俄比亞的受災人數，更達四百三十萬，索馬里的受災人數亦有三百萬，每三名小朋友中就有一人營養不良。根據聯合國最新的報告顯示，目前索馬里因為乾旱及戰亂，有接近一百五十萬人流離失所，當中有超過五十萬人，湧到肯尼亞和埃塞俄比亞的難民營求助，對救援工作造成極大挑戰。

糧價方面，跟去年比較，索馬里的紅高粱價格上升了兩倍半，在肯尼亞北部和埃塞俄比亞，玉米的價格亦上升了一倍，貧困家庭惟有越吃越少。在東非糧食危機中，小孩往往是最脆弱和最無助的一群，目前約有五十萬名小孩嚴重營養不良，若不立時得到適切的幫助，隨時會失去寶貴生命，有些父母為了尋覓糧食、清潔食水和工作機會，需要長時間離開家園，很多小孩被迫留在家中，有些甚至被虐待、剝削、感染疾病，出現營養不良的情況更趨惡劣。

為了回應災民的需要，世界宣明會已制訂了一百八十天救援工作計劃，希望幫助超過一百萬名災民，我們的主要工作是定期派發糧食，例如玉米和大豆，又為小孩提供高蛋白質營養糊。我們會為醫護人員提供培訓，為小孩和母親提供防疫注射，向農民提供抗旱種子，亦會為災民興建衞生設施和提供清潔食水。整個糧荒救援計劃，預計須動用港幣四億元，非洲東部旱情的影響，預料會持續至二Ｏ一二年初。

我們呼籲香港市民盡快伸出援手，抓緊機會幫助當地的災民，有關東非糧荒救援，大家可以瀏覽宣明會網頁或致電2394 2394查詢，若有意長遠幫助貧困小孩，可以考慮支持「助養兒童計劃」。

China destined to be a strong country without hegemony, Fu Ying

By People's Daily Online

http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/90001/90780/91342/6650662.html

At the invitation of Oxford Union, Fu Ying, Chinese ambassador to UK, delivered a speech at Oxford University on the subject of whether China is a power on April 29, 2009. It is the first time a Chinese official has addressed the Union in 186 years.

While addressing the Union officers and members, ambassador Fu said that China, a country with 1.3 billion, smart, hard working and happy people is destined to be a strong country in the world. But China will not become hegemonic.

Ambassador Fu noted that the splendid Beijing Olympics are seen as marking China’s ascendance into a world power status. An international consensus is emerging that China is a world power. There is therefore a lot of scrutiny about the rights and wrongs in China and what China should and should not do. China is moving from the margin to the center of the world politics.

There are also some concerns about what kind of power China will become and whether China is going to impose its will upon others. A survey shows that some 80 percent of Chinese disagree that China has already achieved the status of a global power.

Ambassador Fu said that such a conclusion was based on the fact that China was both "big and small, strong and weak" summarized by late Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping, and it still remains true of today's China.

People outside China tend to see the big and strong aspects of China, while inside China, people are more aware of its weakness and challenges. Ambassador Fu cited statistics to illustration the two dimensions of China: China's GDP ascended to third place in the world in 2008, however, in per capita terms, UK's level is 15 times higher than China's; in terms of trade China is the third largest in the world while UK is No.8. However, UK services trade is No.2 in the world and China is just developing the services sector; with regard to foreign currency reserves, China has 30 times that of UK. But London is a global financial center with about 550 foreign banks and 170 international securities firms. Among the 500 companies in Europe, 100 set their headquarters in London; the UK is in a post industrial society and urban residents take up 90 percent of the population, while China is still in the early phase of industrialization and urbanization.

Ambassador Fu quoted premier Wen's remark that any small problem in China can grow into a huge one if multiplied by 1.3 billion, while a big achievement can become too tiny to notice once divided by that number. Chinese people hope to develop China into a country with prosperity, democracy and rule of law, and a country that works for peace and cooperation in the world.

Ambassador Fu also mentioned earth-shaking changes that have taken place since the founding of the PRC 60 years ago. China's pursuit of prosperity is enabling everyone to have a roof over the head, every child in school, the sick having access to medical care and the elderly taken care of. China has come this far not through war, but through hard work by its vast number of people and through fair trading with the world. The source of the strength of China is in its economy.

Meanwhile she also acknowledged that the prosperity is not evenly shared and there is still poverty in the countryside. China is confident that the trend of prosperity is going to continue and the people will be better off with each passing year.

As for democratic reform in China, ambassador Fu said she was happy with the country's steady progress in democratic decision making and the rule of law after having seen the anarchy of the Cultural Revolution in the 60s and the progress of reform. Take the role of the National People's Congress for example; it has assumed a very important role in China's political life. President Hu Jintao used the term democracy about 60 times because he wanted to emphasize its importance and was calling for greater effort to develop democracy in the Party and the government.

In diplomatic fields, ambassador Fu drew her personal involvement in the six-party talks in which China's role was to mediate between DPRK and the US. Ambassador Fu said that China could not support the DPRK going nuclear because it was not in the interest of peace in the region; and China did not agree with the US for regime change through military means, and China would only take part in a peace process.

Finally, Ambassador Fu said that she was confident that the parties would come back to the negotiating table. China's diplomatic objective is to promote peace and cooperation in the world, in which China can continue to prosper and its people can achieve a better life.

Song - Time in the Bottle

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
Till Eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with

Hot Sunday afternoon,

I know I need to go through my study notes to prepare for the Friday exam,

as will be busy for all the evenings during the week,

however,

when I am sitting in front of the computer,

I start to use my economic mind to rationalise the time I should use for this subject,

I have decided to minimize the time on the preparation,

the time more than that is useless,

it is a non-significant course which I would not use in my job nor life,

for the beautiful hot Sunday,

I should make myself doing something else.

Remember one of my professors told me that,

we have a lot of choices in our life,

we should know how to get the better one!!!

人搖福薄

記得小時候,

家人已嚴禁坐著時周身搖,

所以記憶尤深.

中學時,

有一位同學

卻有此壞習慣,

英文老師也指出應該要改,

因為,

長大出來做事時,

有欠莊重,

古言道:

"人搖福薄.樹搖葉落".

昨天,

竟給我在大堂的休憩區,

看見一位穿得漂亮的女子,

應該是內地遊客,

手持飲品一人坐著,

脚部就不停的搖,

在堂堂公共地方,

我從一方走往另一方,

自遠而近,

她的腳都不停的摇,

吸引了我的注意,

心想,

如果她要面試,

肯定或多或少會影響一些印象分,

所以,

我想,

人搖福薄真的是可以成立的!

街坊茶餐廳

天氣很熱,

但都往外走,

因為中午吃得少,

想來一個下午茶,

在紅街市附近,

選擇很多,

最後走進一間茶餐廳,

先發覺很久沒有在茶餐廳吃東西,

很想食南屏的波蛋治,

不過是wrong time, wrong place,

餐牌上的項目真是繁多,

下午茶餐由A 至.....起碼十多款組合,

客人不斷,

生意不錯,

最後要了一碟星州炒米,

有鑊氣,

賣相,

色彩

味道都可以,

坐在店內,

看見茶餐廳內的服務員和各相熟的客人打成一片,

閒話家常,

又是一個有特色的茶餐廳文化!

Noodles Month

Since registered for a software course during this month,

besides of working about 40 hours per week,

I need to take this course 9 hours per week,

and in addition of taking regular dancing lessons for 6 hours per week,

I am so occupied every day.

I even don't have chance to have my regular dinner...

after class,

always so tired and look for food to fill my stomach,

after 23 days have passed for July,

I realise that I have all kinds of noodles in different kinds of noodles shops -

Cantonese Noodles,

Taiwanese Noodles,

Beijing Noodles,

Hanyu Noodles,

........

and many kinds I still can put them on my list to go,

I am so lucky,

I can find all kinds of different noodles to eat in Macau,

so easily,

wonderful noodles month!

"人生不設限：我那好得不像話的生命體驗"

"Life without Limits: Inspiration for a Ridiculously Good Life"

作者：力克．胡哲
原文作者：Nick Vujicic

如果一個沒手沒腳的傢伙，也能在全世界最頂尖的海灘衝浪，
那麼，任何一件事對你都是可能的！

力克語錄

　　◆如果一個沒手沒腳的傢伙也能在全世界最頂尖的海灘衝浪，那麼任何一件事對你都是可能的！

　　◆在艱困的時光中，依然能夠前進，關鍵就在於，你不是以能看見的，而是以能想像的事物，來引導你的人生。這就叫作信心。

　　◆你不應該看著你所缺乏的過日子；相反地，你應該過一種「只要敢夢想，什麼都做得到」的人生。

　　◆不要把每個面皰或皺紋看得太嚴重，因為有一天，你會碰到真正麻煩的大事，那時你要怎麼辦？

　　◆緊緊抓著舊傷痛不放，你就只是給那些傷害你的人力量，讓他們控制你；可是當你原諒他們，你就切斷了跟這些人的連結，他們就再也不能打擊你。千萬不要以為寬恕他們是放他們一馬，你這樣做不為別的，是為了你自己。

　　◆站起來和倒在地上，哪個感覺比較好？你天生不是在地上打滾的，你要起身，一次一次又一次，直到全然釋放你的潛力。

Turned OLD

My father lives alone,
and I try to have meals with him whenever I have time.
Still, being a daughter,
I know I need to do more.

The other day,
he told me he accidentally pressed the "Elderly Safe Bell" system when he was sleeping at mid-night,
the on-duty officer immediately talked with him over the system,
and made sure he was OK.
I only knew that until lunch time of next day.

Last Tuesday,
he had a dentist appointment in the government hospital.
Though he called the Taxi and sent him to the hospital,
however,
under the construction work of certain areas of the hospital,
he had difficulties to locate the dentist area,
a place where he has visited for many times,
thus, he was lost and did not know where to go,
I can imagine the scenery,
an old man lost in a hospital!!
Finally,
a fireman realised that and guided him to the correct place.

He told me after he came home,
I had nothing to say about that,
but I just want to thank to the people who helped my father,
appreciate a lot their kindness,
and I wish there are more people would like to help people in need.

I always remember this old saying,

"Honour the aged of other family as we honour our own".

Supermarket Shopping

Recently the big supermarkets near my father's house simultaneously offer fresh food section,
including fresh meat, all kinds of vegetables and fruits,
this is a very good news for me,
because I don't need to fix my time to go to wet-market to do groceries shopping.
I can have one stop and  finish the shopping for all the things I want,
I can use my credit card to pay for the food,
and I can buy the food at night time if I need,
however,
after trying to change my shopping habit,
I realise that the quality of the food is only so so,
e.g. I have to drink non-sweet orange juice,

because the oranges look nice,
but taste very sour.

Hope that they can improve the purchasing policy and packaging policy
they should sell nice food,
but not disguise bad food in a good package,
this is not honest at all.
In wet market,
with a little bit of time,
people can compare ,choose and ask how the food is,
for maintaining loyalty customers,
wet market vendors would tell the truth.

I think the big supermarket should have a very straight selection policy,
as for consumers would like to shop in the supermarket,
we are looking for convenience and quality,
otherwise,
we would go back to the traditional wet market.

問路....手信店

今星期又有兩次給人截停問路,
原則上不趕時間時我也樂於指點指點,
最奇昨天那次不是查問大三巴威尼斯等景點,
而是在八角亭前給三位內地女士
查問如何去K店買手信.
原來此店的銷售真是遠近馳名,
吸引旅客專程去買食物.

在過去的十年中,
小店不斷擴張,
配合電視廣告
名人推薦效應,
將傳統的中國式小小美食發揚光大,
品種及口味更趨多元化,
包裝改為美觀及送禮大方得體的不同組合,
除提供免費試食外,
超市式配合能操多種語言的親切店員導購情況下,
多間分店處於不同的鬧市或景點附近,
一網打盡,
深明旅遊消費的心態
此店的威力真的不少!

Song - 「那誰沒有下次」

 

「那誰沒有下次」蘇永康 聲演：卓韻芝

主唱：蘇永康
作曲：頡臣
填詞：黃偉文
編曲：Johnny Yim
監製：舒文@Zoo Music

你和那誰那天分手
你淚痕像條綠色的銹
頑固地種在眼睛一角　直到永久　抹不走

但是浮游在　生活亂流
你那新生　你也必須接受
就算多悔咎　自責別太久
不要戀戀心裡　那個傷口

渡日月　穿山水
尚在恨　那~誰
誰曾無堅不摧
摧毀的廢墟
一早 變做　你美好新居
創疤你不挖　亦不知有過 在這裡

淚叠淚　風一吹
漸莫辨　那~誰
連重提 往事也　不再絕對
她怎傷害你　講起　你沒再　吐苦水

有時你還覺得溫馨
這淚流像存在的表證
沒有恨過便更加彷似　白過半生　冷清清

像突然忘掉　尊姓大名
卻記得她　教你差點喪命
是創傷太重　或覺悟太輕
使你不懂釋放　怨懟的根性

Line Dance - 2 Of Us

Line Dance* - Summer Night Cha Cha

家傭與小孩

朋友說因家傭溜走,
正急需尋找好的家傭,
夫婦兩都為工作而忙碌,
兩位小朋友都要接送上學,
暑假又有一連串的活動,
一家四口的日子,
煮飯、買菜、洗衣、抹地等繁多的雜務
真是要做萬能戰士也不能.

除照顧小朋友外,
其實家傭的質素真是十分重要,
看見的家傭很多都是縱容少主,
無故浪費,
在這環境下長大的小孩
真的不敢想像.

還記得有朋友是來自大家庭,
一家十口八口是很普通的事,
昔日的家庭主婦,
他們的母親
持家有道,
以最少資源,
為子女創造最好的成長環境,
真的是不簡單!

Line Dance* - Rita's Waltz

台山泰好味 Thai Delicious (Very Delicious)

E recommended this eating place to me long time ago,
and I also knew this place,
as I always passed by this shop when I was taking dancing class in the Center near Toi San area,
there are always a lot of customers.

Last weekend first time ate in this place,
the shop was not big,
but there were a lot of tables and customers,
the prices were reasonable,
but the waiter and waitress speak little Chinese,
thus, they take order with the numbering system,
customers write down the dishes' numbers on the paper,
then,
the waiter/waitress pass the order to the kitchen,
the kitchen chefs make the food according to the number.

There are a lot of dishes for selection,
but since I didn't want to take so much spicy food,
thus, ordered some very general thai dishes,
noodles, meat, vegetables,
they were quite good,
also with the fresh coconut juice,
the dinner was great,
except each table needed to wait for the dishes,
the food  didn't come out at the same time,
rather than,
I realised that,
they made the dishes according to the enough number of certain dishes -
if 3 tables order the same vegetables,
3 plates of vegetables will come out the same time.

One more thing,
After the dinner,
during the night time,
I knew the delicious food has a lot of MSG !!

冠男軒美食茶樓.

http://www.tungfongproperties.com/kn.htm

星期天中午和父親上街去,
在紅街市附近,
沒有太多選擇,
見到冠男軒在眼前,
遂走上此傳統的茶樓二樓去,
人很多,
原來對面的聚龍軒裝修沒有營業,
茶客轉來此茶樓
在一眼關七的情況下,
很快有位,
搭檯!
同檯是一對年長的公公(89)婆婆(78).
長者頗健談,
又上了一堂口述歷史課.

很少在茶樓食飯,
但此店出名叉燒及點心,
所以
要了一碗叉燒飯...


同時,
試了菜肉飽及魚皮餃
很熱很好味,
另外的荔芋角,
就非常差,
冷的!


要等很久才有我的叉燒飯...,
因為很多人都食最好食的碳燒半肥瘦叉燒
不斷的賣完,
廚房又送出新鮮的,
蜜糖汁叉燒很吸引,
上桌時,好香
好好味。

吃得很飽,
且有罪惡感,
實在是
肥多過瘦的叉燒,
不能常吃.



很想食白糖糕,
已太飽了!!!

徐志摩的《再别康橋》Goodbye Again, Cambridge

My favorite poem, I like the last four sentences the most.

再别康橋 徐志摩




輕輕的我走了，


正如我輕輕的來；


我輕輕的招手，


作別西天的雲彩。




那河畔的金柳，


是夕陽中的新娘；


波光裡的艷影，


在我的心頭蕩漾。




軟泥上的青荇，


油油地在水底招搖；


在康河的柔波裡，


我甘心做一條水草！




那榆蔭下的一潭，


不是清泉，是天上虹；


揉碎在浮藻間，


沉澱著彩虹似的夢。




尋夢？撐一支長篙，


向青草更青處漫溯；


滿載一船星輝，


在星輝斑斕裡放歌。




但我不能放歌，


悄悄是別離的笙簫；


夏蟲也為我沉默，


沉默是今晚的康橋！




悄悄的我走了，


正如我悄悄的來；


我揮一揮衣袖，


不帶走一片雲彩。




1928.11.6 中國上海




Goodbye Again, Cambridge




Very quietly I take my leave


As quietly as I came here;


Quietly I wave good-bye


To the rosy clouds in the western sky.




The golden willows by the riverside


Are young brides in the setting sun;


Their reflections on the shimmering waves


Always linger in the depth of my heart.




The floatingheart growing in the sludge


Sways leisurely under the water;


In the gentle waves of Cambridge


I would be a water plant!




That pool under the shade of elm trees


Holds not water but the rainbow from the sky;


Shattered to pieces among the duckweeds


Is the sediment of a rainbow-like dream.




To seek a dream? Just to pole a boat upstream


To where the green grass is more verdant;


Or to have the boat fully loaded with starlight


And sing aloud in the splendour of starlight.




But I cannot sing aloud


Quietness is my farewell music;


Even summer insects keep silence for me


Silent is Cambridge tonight!




Very quietly I take my leave


As quietly as I came here;


Gently I flick my sleeves


Not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away

徐志摩的「偶然」

Read newspaper today, and the writer talked about this poem.
Actually this is one of my favorite poems,
it was so beautifully written,
and I really like it very much!!

「偶然」


我是天空裡的一片雲，

偶爾投影在你的波心──

你不必訝異，

更無須歡喜──

在轉瞬間消滅了蹤影。


你我相逢在黑夜的海上，

你有你的，我有我的，方向；

你記得也好，
　　
最好你忘掉，

在這交會時互放的光亮！ 　


徐志摩

羅漢果﹝Grosvener Momordica fruit﹞

http://www.islt.com.hk/foodinfluohanguo.html

　　羅漢果茶的製法﹝使用乾燥果實﹞

　　取羅漢果一個壓碎外皮，將種子分開；

　　在煲中放入2.2公升水，放下壓碎的羅漢果一個；

　　用中火煲三十分鐘﹝以水滾後計算﹞，關火後，焗多三十分鐘；

　　完成後可以直接熱飲，或過濾後放入冰箱冷藏。

註：要揀靚羅漢果，首先最好將羅漢果輕力由距離檯面一、二吋的地方放下，如果像「乒乓球」般的會「彈起」，証明不是「空心」，亦即是上品。又或在耳邊輕輕搖，搖得響便是不好的。

Beautiful Algarve

Friday morning,
heard a program from Macau Radio which introduced Algarve,
it mentioned Algarve is a lovely place in South of Portugal,
it is very famous for its beautiful beaches and places for vacation.

The name of Algarve is not new to me,
I knew it from my Portuguese lessons,
especially when I studied for the exams,
on the history and the geography of Portugal,
and I used to think that the Portuguese teachers missed their home,
thus they said that Algarve was a beautiful place.

This time,
I was attracted by the recommendation,
thus searched over Internet,
and the places are really nice,
it should be a great place for relaxing,
I should go  there one day to witness whether it is beautiful or not!

The 10 Most Important Things to Simplify in Your Life

by joshua becker


great post: extracted from the following site:
http://www.becomingminimalist.com/2010/03/16/the-10-most-important-things-to-simplify-in-your-life/

1.Your Possessions - consider Simplify.

2.Your Time Commitments –When possible, release yourself from the time commitments that are not in line with your greatest values.

3.Your Goals – Make a list of the things that you want to accomplish in your life and choose the two most important. When you finish one, add another from your list.

4.Your Negative Thoughts – Most negative emotions are completely useless Forgive past hurts and replace negative thoughts with positive ones.

5.Your Debt –  Sacrifice luxury today to enjoy freedom tomorrow.

6.Your Words – Use fewer words. Keep your speech plain and honest. Mean what you say. Avoid gossip.

7.Your Artificial Ingredients – Avoid trans fats, refined grain (white bread), high-fructose corn syrup, and too much sodium. \Also, reduce your consumption of over-the-counter medicine

8.Your Screen Time – Focusing your attention on television, movies, video games, and technology affects your life more than you think.The only way to fully appreciate its influence in your life is to turn them off.

9.Your Connections to the World - Relationships with others are good, but constant streams of distraction are bad. Learn when to power off the blackberry, log off facebook, or not read a text. Focus on the important, not the urgent.

10.Your Multi-Tasking -Handle one task at a time. Do it well. And when it is complete, move to the next.

Lunch meeting with ex-coworkers

Lunch with my ex-coworkers in Tak Heng Sea Food Restaurant,
three of them have left my present company and changed work place in different time,
and now all of them meet and work in the other company,
the world is so small.

Before, 4 of us worked in the same place,
and we never got the chance to Yam Cha,
after they left,
and now I am the only one staying in the present company,
and we treasure our good old time.

Topics have been focused on their work-place,
rather than mine,
the time was a little bit short,
and kind of rush,
but enjoyed the meeting with them!!
