Unusual Friday night

Friday night usually means:
  • party~~~
  • meeting up with friends for dinner, drinks and gossip
  • laze at home and just not do anything
  • late nights - doing anything and everything except for work....

but tonight, my friday night is none of the above....i'm now sitting in front of my work desk, waiting for a conference call :( HOW SAD IS THAT??? i just rushed back from shenzhen, went back home, took a shower and came to office....well, i came early coz i didnt want to rush here and there....so just had my starbucks sandwich in front of my best friend called Dell...hey, where's chip? hehehe...anyway, i was "invited" by my boss to attend this conference with the company's CFO, other big shots to talk about our work...when he invited me last night, i tried to make excuses for not attending...all he said was: attend if you could. if not, no problem....but that means a lot of things...either way, i will lose out....my analysis below:

  • if i don't attend -> he will think i'm not helpful or reliable...there must be reasons for him to invite me (and i know the reasons!!!)...if he screws up, he blames me for not being there to help out....
  • if i attend -> two outcomes: 1) if i screw up, at least he is safe...2) if nothing happens, i'm safe....

Either ways -> i'm the one who lose out if things don't happen favourably....so i chose to bet on my future....

Life's journey

Have you ever stopped and think: gosh, time flies and it's already half way through the year...and what had i done in the past 6 months? well, i suddenly did...and reminiscing now about the journy....somehow, i think i had some very fruitful improvements :)
  • i've become more independent than i used to be (mayb not a lot but slightly better than 6 mths ago)
  • i've found a port for myself to park my boats of emotions...
  • i've put more time and love on my family and other love ones
  • i've learned to say "NO"
  • i've found good people whom i didnt think exist before....i really feel grateful

ah well, i cant really think of a full list....but hopefully, this post will get you to think about your own journey and pace...slowdown and smell the flowers....

情绪

Do you have this feeling?

sometimes when you are in good mood, you don't mind spending longer time trying to make yourself looking prettier :) you feel happy putting on a nice outfit, doing your hair just a bit differently than what you normally do, putting on some nice accessories and also a little bit more make up and Wa la, you feel even better....

BUT, sometimes when you feel sh*t, even though you have plenty of time, you just don't feel like doing anything at all...find a outfit which you could wear (which may just be convenient for you and may not look good or may look good but because you feel sh*tty, you just feel that it doesnt look good on u)....you feel lazy to dress up yourself, a pair of heel-less shoes will do, less make up and let your hair takes its own lead and there, you feel not so extraordinary....

Had jenn's blog open while her super nice music was playing while reading another blog....even a place which i didnt like as much before when i was in high school, the photos just made me wanna go back there and also made me wanna make myself feel good inside out...i didnt know a place i despised so much could be sooooo beautiful...how could i overlook such beauty? how could i just turn everything so beautiful and good into something so bad and ugly? thanks for the blog, now i realised, life in hk is .....i guess everything has its pros and cons....now i also realised that feeling of hatred could lead to many bias outcome.....

lesson learned: one must learn to "throw away" the feeling of hatred & love in order to see things more clearly.

HIP's BS secret

To answer Jenn's question about how HIP could BS with his pants on....this is the secret...

my DULL life

it's so frustrating sometimes...and i'm beginning to find my job hateful now....despite of all the travelling which i enjoyed, but now, i'm getting annoyed....these days, i hardly have time for doing my personal things...i'm always rushing from one conference to another...call after call after call after call...im really getting tired of it...it's either very early or late at night..but mostly late at night for me...sigh...i felt like i'm talking to my boss and my colleagues more than my own family and friends...and it's just not the kind of life i enjoy now....but looking at the bright side..maybe i should also just feel lucky for having a job to be busy with...a lot of people out there are still jobless or some are at risk...at this thought, i feel much better...... :)

Ban sai with style

the picture says it all~~~~~~~~
BS with style = in public, without shame and pressure, with a smile, in good location (in this case...multibillion stone-pathed pedestrian)...and of coz with cool pose....
