no regrets

if today is the only day you get, how would you like to spend it

Asia Trip III - Hong Kong

HongKong is the last stop of my Asia Trip.

有五年没有回香港了。刚下機時真的有種回家的感覚,回到了中國人自己的地方。但是這趟“回家”却有很多的不适應。香港變了,差點都不認得了。

還记得,那時的香港,天是蓝的,维港景色很美。那是小時候的事了。在香港一個星期,天都是灰蒙蒙的。我還转門去了维港一趟找童年。童年是找不到了,混浊的空气和大陆游客倒是一大堆。其實我對大陆人並没有甚麽不好的觀點,也知道大陆的强人很多。但是我也親身見识了那一部分素质有待提高的同胞。说到底,就是太自私了。如果稍微爲其他人想一想,有些事就不會做了。

不否認,靠着大陆,香港的经济才能持续增長。没有他们的消费,香港的旅游業又如何蓬勃。有得必有失,人不可能只得到好的那一面。

站在维港吹了好一阵的海風,不知我還能否在这里立足。

Asia Trip II - 雲南

我從没到過雲南,难得此次到中國有機會。雖说去的不是甚麽大理,丽江等旅游热點,但也算是看到了中國的另外一面。

近来的中國發展迅速但贫富差别很大。别说其它地方了,光廣州就是。有很多新建,華麗的建筑,但在旧城区為那幾块钱挣扎生活的人還有很多。有人吃幾十块钱一碟的點心,也有人連五块钱的饭盒都嫌贵。


我們去的地方很近边境,很靠近缅甸。那里的雲南真的很穷。雖然有旅游業的帮助,但當地人的生活水平和环境還是很差。坦白说,在雲南的那幾天,真的十分不习惯。恰恰是因為他們還没發展,环境也没有被污染。在大陆和香港的两個星期,只有在雲南的那幾天看到了蓝天白雲。

那里的天很蓝,没有甚麽雲,所以紫外线很强,那里的人都晒的很黑。當地的温差很大,晚上是冬天,中午是夏天。但總的来说是舒服的,没有中國南方潮湿。在當地照了很多照片,真的很中國。那種中國特有的乡村風光,看似艰苦,但很独特。雖说他們的生活质环境没有我們好,但他們也有自己楽趣吧。



可以走弯路吗?

没有人的路是一帆风顺的,可能有些人的會更崎岖,有些人的會比较平坦。每個父母都希望儿女走一条平坦顺利的道路,但很多時候都事與願违。人生總有低潮,有不顺利的時候。人會遇到瓶颈, 對人生迷茫,不知该如何走下去。

不是每個人都可以幸運的走一条笔直的路。再说了,那些计划好的,令人羡慕的路又是否真的好走。我不覚得走弯路是一件不好的事,怕就怕弯路走错了,费力而不讨好。其實要人生,工作經驗,哪里都可以,人家認可與否都不够自己認可重要。

有時候不必太勉强,随着自己的心意做并不一定是一件坏事。可能是任性了一點,但趁年輕就應该做一些自己喜歡的事。

Asia Trip - Tokyo

Hope everyone is doing well in 2012. I started my 2012 with a trip to Asia. Like my friends said, I deserve a vacation.

My first stop is Tokyo and I spent a week there.The time we spent there is amazing. We really enjoyed Tokyo.

There are a couple things I like about Tokyo.
  • Streets in Tokyo are very nice and clean. Although there are not many garbage bins around, Japanese still maintain clean streets.
  • Japanese are very polite. We got nice service from airport, train station, hotels and stores. 
  • Japanese really care about their appearance, they are well dressed up at all times. ( compare to Canada, we wear sweats out. >3<)
  • Japanese food is cheap and tasty. 
  • Tokyo is more entertaining than Toronto and more spacious than HongKong. 
Of course, Japan has its downsides. I can tell that they are really suffering from the recession. While Japanese are so polite, it also implicates the fact that they retain a lot of stress inside. This would result problems in the community and culture.

Two things I was surprised.
  1.  Japanese's English is not as bad as I expected.
  2. Japanese guys are not as short as people said.
Overall Tokyo is a good place to travel to. However, if you want to live & work there, think twice for people like us.

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011)

Work and life both have been busy recently. This is holiday season, we are all busy chilling out. However, there isn't many good movies out there. We picked Sherlock Holmes after all.

I still remember we watched Sherlock Holmes in 2009 around the holiday season. Same old, the movie is predictable, so that the story line is not that appealing. Of course, I see it differently from two years ago. The ability Holmes had is pretty impressive. This is definitely something I should learn. Maybe I will never get to that level, but reaching some of it will be good.

I realized that it is very important that you can pay attention to all the details (even the smallest ones) and able to summarize all given information and turn them into use. This skill is very critical for both work and life. It is worthwhile to train.

Happy Holidays everyone! =)

演唱會

這是我第一此坐VIP席看演唱會。我自己當然不會付這樣的錢,是客人請的。第一次覺得辛苦是值得的,哈哈。 我們看的是GEM。這小妮子是真的能唱。總的來說,雖然沒有坐滿,但整個演唱會我還算滿意。 看的出來,他們在制作、服裝、燈光等等都花了心思。 除了歌聲值得一提的還有舞者,他們跳得真的很不錯。這兩個小時看得很滿足很愉快。 看著這女生很努力,沒有怯場也發揮得不錯,真有點佩服。 她很小就出道了,勇敢的走自己想走的路。 我是不夠勇敢。 事事都想退路不是完全不好,但有了退路就不會全力向前衝了。 其實不應該怕受傷怕跌倒,人得輸得起才會有真正嬴的那一天。 是時候重新出發了。

感謝

真的不太敢相信這是真的。原來老天爺真的有眷顧我,之前的努力都是值得的。衷心感謝所有幫過我的人!特別是一直幫我的師父,一起溫書的同伴,聽我傾訴的朋友,當然還有最最重要一直在我身邊無限量支持的父母。真的謝謝你們!

知道這才是開端,以後的努力才是更重要的。這條路現在才算是真正開始走。在以後的路上,我會記住之前的苦和今天的甜而更努力。

再一次感謝!
