no regrets

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

一分耕耘 一分收获

一分耕耘 一分收获
這個簡單的道理,相信几嵗小朋友都懂。
無論父母,家長,老师都從小都教要勤勤奋奋做人做事。
很多古典,著作都會有相似道理。

長大後,又有多少人记得且做到呢?
又有多少人認同此道理呢?

it is me being too idealistic? or too childish?
most of the stuff i have been taught/told is getting unreal to me.
should i sustain my belief? or i should start face the reality and change it.

就像电视剧里的角色,三好 (做好事,存好心,说好话)
真的可以吗?即使你做到了,又启能保证别人没有害你之心?
原来很多時候,十分耕耘都未必有收获。

grad photos

it may sounds too early, however it is the time.
grad photos may not mean anything, but still a memory.
looking back to the grad photos of high school and elementary school.  hehe, i am getting old.

seeing the photographers reminds me of taking of photography before.
i miss the feeling of posing other people, adjusting the light condition, shutter speed...etc.
don't know when would be an opportunity to do it again.

不如願

世上有太多的不如願
總以為命運在自己手中,以為只要努力就能得到。其實不然。
此想法一直都有,但總不甘心,想改變命運。

其他的事就不多說了,就拿上個禮拜的流星雨來說吧。
地點,時間等等都准備好了。
但偏偏天公不作美,烏雲密布。
當然,現也有科技能吹走烏雲,但卻不是我能做到的。

今時今日,我只能承認是自己沒有能力,所以才有太多的不如願。

Role of policeman

take a look at the following video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSxSlT2M76s

This takes place in my school, one of the main buildings that has most flow everyday.
I am not going to comment on the person who is been arrested, because I don't really know what happened.
I did not get a chance to see scene inside the building. But I was outside of the building. I saw five police cars and at least 15-20 police officers in from of the building, as well as an ambulance.

My friend saw it in person, close to the scene.
After I saw the video and heard his decription. All I think of is that... why those policemans have to beat up the crime so much? (maybe not a crime, he was just drunk.) There were more than enough police officer there to control him. Is it really necessary to hit him that many times.

Maybe I should not comment just base on what I saw and heard. I am sure there is something inside that I wouldn't know. However, I don't agree with polices use violent action easily.

brandnames

Brandnames seem to be attracted to large portion of population.
It doesn't matter if its the highend ones or lowend ones. There are more and more big box brands on the market. It could be more efficient in a way, but less creative and unique on goods and services.

Why branded products are so attracted to people? It really dose not matter for male or female. Maybe they like different kinds of products, but eventually they are still brand named.
Why branded products are better than other ones? Maybe they are better in some way, but is it always true?
Why people would die from branded products? Even knowing self cannot effort it, but still try all ways to get it.

I guess brandnames has the reputation.
- using better materials
- have better HR to produce and design
- more variety
- better quality
- warranty
...etc/
Yet, most importantly. i believe it is the identity that brandname bring to consumers.
LV - means upper class?
Channel - means better taste?
Eventually, i believe it all depends on inside. Changing/upgrading appearance is not difficult.
Improving yourself from inside is the most difficult part.

Advice to all who die for branded products.
Of course it would be good to be able to effort all the pretty stuff, but know your limit. Ask yourself one more time before you buy it, is it worth it? do you really need it?

Chicago



Chicago...the thanksgiving weekend trip

This is the first time I go to Chicago.
It is a very short trip, but overall it was good.
Because we drove there, the road condition was not great the first day.
Fortunately, the town did not disappoint me.

The city planning was good. The buildings are not as crowded as NYC or HK. It was very enjoyable to walk in downtwon Chicago. We drove around the city, the spaces, malls, architectures are amazing. However, the traffic planning is not that pleasant. All taxis drive aggresively. The lanes are not clear, which confuses drivers a lot. Other than that, I really like Chicago.

Compare to New York, I like Chicago better.
I beleive Chicago is famous for tis architects too. Willis Tower (a.k.a Sears Tower) is the tallest building in the world, including the forecast pole. There is a clear box on the 103rd floor extend out and I actually dare to stand out there. It is always say than do it. I didn't think I am scared of height. Yet, it did take some effort to stand out there at that specific moment. It took us quite a while to line up get up there, but I guess it is worth it. Compare to the Rockefeller Center in NYC, viewing the city from Willis Tower, Chicago has more spacing and buildings are not as huge.
Mentioning the style of buildings. I realize that the buildings in Chicago pays more attention to details. I see more embossment as decorations in walls. I didn't realize how fine art is apart of thie Chicago culture until I was actually in the City. Even the restaurants, walls are all decorated with portaits and still live drawings. I really like the artistic atmosphere there.


I am looking forward to visit the town again.

月圆之夜

中秋佳節刚過,希望每人都過了一個好節。
開心顾然重要,同家人過也重要,但如果做不到的,也希望大家過的好。
人月两团圆说易不易,今時今日還能跟一個完整的家過并不容易。
要求越来越多了,想要的也越来越多,但家人是無價寶,没有什麽可以取代。
今日的拥有只得倍加珍惜。
