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

梦醒時分

有多少人會喜歡梦醒時分?

總覺得能睡到自然醒的人很幸福,因為真的很久沒試過了

很久以前也曾喜歡過梦醒時分
因為覺得真實世界更美好
但越來越覺得,能倒頭就睡已是一種幸福
誰還想醒?
再者,有時可能夢才是最好的。

OL

OL (known as Office Lady)

ever since I was a kid, I wanted to be an office lady.
I liked to play with stationery, hope to put them into use.
I liked to sit in an office and handle all the documents.
I liked to sign papers and tell the person it's good.

yes, thats because I was a kid. I didn't know how cruel the reality is.

now the real world comes, it is not as easy as you think.
maybe you think sitting in an office, dress pretty, doing paper work are easy tasks.
at least i thought so, i thought it would be easier way to go compare to others.

no, being an OL is not as easy as you think.
there are a lot of stress and work load that others may not know about.

if you like it, then it is worthy to continue.
if you don't, maybe you need to realize that, soon the better.

we should all know what we really want.

靚模

靚模是最近挺熱的話題

個人認為,雖不敢說是所有女生,但相信大部份女生都有過相當明星的年齡。
拿床單當禮服,穿媽媽的高根鞋
但慢慢長大後,有了自知知明,有了更成熟的道德官和世界觀,多數會選更適合自己的路。

每個人都有自己的价值,只是賣的東西不同而已。
有人賣勞力,有人賣知識,也有人賣長相
行業並不分貴賤的,所為行行出狀元,每一行都有它的艱辛。

說靚模們比起真正的model們怎麼容易成名,相對的靚模的淘汰律也會更高。
他們拍寫真,照相並不比我們這些坐在辦公室工作來得舒服。
但既然他們做的開心,露的愉快又有何不可呢?
並不是個個都能做到自己喜歡的,既然有機會,為什麼社會不給於些支持呢?

當你不同意他們做法的同時,也不見得他們對你的工作有多麼崇拜。
雖說即使我有那機會,也不會走那條路。但的確有人是天生靠臉蛋和身材吃飯的,知道那條路其實並不好走,所以我尊重他們。

summerlicious

Summerlicious - an event presented by American Express, promoting the fine dining restaurants in the city of Toronto.

http://www.toronto.ca/special_events/summerlicious/index.htm

Toronto has summerlicious every year.
This event is beneficial for the travel industry and economy overall.

No matter how good the event is, people and city environment is what makes the reputation.

busy work

haven't been busy like this for a while.
actually, busy work is good. it is challenging.

a person should have some challenge regularly, it is beneficial for growth.

Which group do you belong to?

大多數人小時候都屬於自己的群體,小朋友並不喜歡做特別的一個,想跟大家一樣。
有些人能和同一班人一同長大,會是一輩子的朋友。
也有些人,在不同的團體中周旋,可能永遠都找不到屬於自己的那一個。

作為在加國的華人,尤其是我這種不中不西的人,想找一個真正的知己真的不太容易。
能有緣分相識且能做朋友的我都很珍惜。
人大了,要顧慮的事就多了。大家都有自己的生活。有緣分的話,真希望那些友情都能長久。

Hangover


It is a comedy movie.
It is funny, but different kind of funny from The Proposal. You laugh at those specific scenes and jokes. Some people might not get it, but if you get it those jokes, it would be funny for you.
There are same scenes involved nudity to make you laugh. Personally, I don't like this kind of humor that much. um... it is funny and relaxing, but it is not educated enough (not sure how to describe it properly).

The acting is quite good. The characters are pretty obvious. I think that is the key of a movie/story. They show all those funny scenes naturally, which would be more acceptable for audience.

>>
yea.. it's friday.
the movie theater is packed.
we were going to watch Public Enemies. but then tickets were sold out. it is not one of the best days for sure.

hopefully we will be able to catch it next week.

civil servants

named as civil servants, tax payers pay for your salaries. theoratically, they should work for the citizens with the best manner, provide efficient service. ever since when, civil servants only care about themselves because the job is permanent, they are not really serving anymore.

I work in an accounting firm, need to deal with Canada Revenue Agency regularly.
I am gonna quote some conversations as following, you would of understand why I complain.

>> M - Me, A - Agent

M: Hi, I am inquiring this xxx issue. (A very general question) What would be the process of it?

A: Where are you calling from?

M: XXX

A: What is the Business number?

...... (ask me all the confidential information)

M: So, what would be the progress if I want to do xxx?

A: You called before, we put in the request for you. All you can do is wait for our letters.

M: Yes, I call two weeks ago. You said you would send me the letter, but I didn't receive anything. I need to get it done by the end of this month.

A: All you can do is wait, we will send it out.

M: Is there anything I can do to advance the procedure then?

A: No, there is nothing you can do.

M: How long would it take then?

A: I don't know, it depends on our work load.

>>
depend on your work load? so if you think you are busy, you will never handle my file then? we pay that much of taxes every year, this is the service we get. even you work 9am-5pm, with the most on time breaks, at least work efficiently when you are working.


my parents told me to apply for government positions too.
they say it is stable, a lot of benefits and high salary.
what i think is... working there, slows a person's development and even forget about the principle of being an employee.
my conclusion is... they are lazy, because they are used to get a lot from working very little.

this no plastic shopping bag topic...

HK just started this no plastic shopping bag today.
Toronto started this a couple days ago.

From my perspective, I do not think there is anything wrong with it.
yes, it definitely brings us inconvenience and change our living habbit.
I bought two pillows another day, I forgot it changes 5cents each plastic bag. Eventually, I had to hold that two queen size pillows and walked around the mall. No wonder it doesn't look nice and seem troublesome. However, it is beneficial to the world, eventually. Why can we just sacrifice a bit of convenience?

I don't think it is necessary for anyone to explain this or argue over it.
It is environmentally friendly. the society is advancing, people need to change.
I just hope people don't play the trick, work on the pre-packagings. It would be the same if you use paper or fabric bags.

Gambling

please don't get me wrong after you see this title. i am not really into gambling. in fact, i don't really gamble. people know me knows, i don't even play money when we play mahjong or card games. why talk about gamble now then?

i never think gambling is a good activity in any kind. however, i cannot deny that it is very profitable for entertainment industry and the government. whoever invent casion in the first place is a genius.
actually, I think gambling is a good training of self control. you have to learn to know your limits and know when to resist from envirionmental influences.

there are lessons to be learn in everything we do.

各樣的人

世上有各種各樣的人
人都是有缺點和優點的,接授的了就是優點,接授不了就是缺點
所謂人夾人緣

之所以會對一個人生氣,是因為你不了解他的想法
哪怕你會站在他的角度為他設想,也可能不明白他的想法
因為你們是兩個不同的個體,你不是他

溝通固然重要,但也同時知道他可能同你是兩種不同的人
