缘分

人與人相遇是缘分，谈得来更是缘分。谈得来還不一定會成為朋友，真的成為朋友了又不一定能一直保持联络。保持联络的也不等于會是永遠的朋友，可能因為某些事就闹翻了。即使不闹翻也很有可能走不同的道，不同的路。不要说找到那一位了，能找到一個一辈子的朋友都很难。
缘分可能會帮到你，把你和某些人紧紧绑在一起。無論你喜歡與否，反正你會有很长的時間會跟這些人连在一起。時間长得足够你跟他们产生感情，至于離别時會不舍，會流泪。缘分也會捉弄你。明明不喜歡與這個人有任何联络，但却天天见到。你明明在等他约会你，等到了却還是错過了。很多時候，我不相信人定胜天，因為有些人，你是真的跟他没缘分。

我以前並不懂得這個道理，覚得人舆人之間對人好就是了，一辈子的朋友是很容易的事。原来，你珍惜的對方並不一定會珍惜。你所想的對方未必也是對方所想。想到一起，倾得来，還要有共同的人生觀是很难的事。即使一切都有了，人還會變。我現在不會再可惜，不會再想過去了。今天才是重要的，留甚麽给現在的人才是重要的。每個人都有自己的路要走，過得了自己就是了。

healthy routine

It has been almost three months since I completely move back to Toronto, more than two months since I started going to gym.
I still remember the first time I did the assessment. The trainer said that I didn't have any upper body strength and a lot of body fat. (haha >.<) I did another assessment yesterday, I guess I improved a bit. At least my body fat percentage is in a very good range now. Also, my heart and lung function improved. My conclusion is, exercise actually helps to maintain your health. In London, I get sick every two weeks. Maybe staying home is one of the reason. However, being stressful and tiring like this, I have not really get sick yet. I am actually proud of myself.

The following is a healthy routine suggested by the trainer.
- have breakfast everyday
- 8 glass of water everday
- have dairy everyday
- 5 serve of vegetable and fruit everyday
- at least three times exercise every week (1hr per time)
- stretch before and after you exercise

最低工資

這個话题講很久了，一直没花心思留意。是事不關己，己不劳心。一，我人不在香港，加國一直都有最低工資，且年年加。二，我會很努力的不讓自己拿這最低工資，早已過了拿最低工資的年龄了，再拿就不應该了。
在加國，我們一直都有最低工資，不是甚麽新奇事。會计师更是要熟悉這方面的法律。我返工的第一天就要读EMPLOYMENT / PAYROLL REQUIREMENTS. 比起加國，我個人認為，在香港设最低工資是一件很不實际的事。 现别说最低工資會设多少，光是真正执行就已很难。不是我说華人的不好，但華人确是很會專空子。好听就是聪明，不好听就是走法律缝。在這里，唐人會有CASH 工。（this means, pay cash only, no any legal benefits, not recorded on the book, not taxable.) 不是说其他人不會這样做，但大部份唐人就是這样做。我相信，如果在平静的加國會有這情况，香港绝不會例外。我不相信香港政府會监管得更好。现在市道並不太好，不會有人愿意牺牲工作去举报，至少我不會。老板即使遵守，也會缩短工作時间且在工作時间更刻薄，员工工作更紧张。
這是個很有争议的問题，就像當年强績金一样。但人是很奇怪的動物，人不想被改變，但习惯後就不覚得有问题了。

adapting

I am adapting to it now.
It is busy, tiring, stressful and frustrating sometimes. However, I am adapting to it. It is not the life I want, but I expected it. Now is the time I finally understand why people from last generation claims the younge people and the 80s not hardworking and everything.
To be honest, I agree. (to clearify, I am not one of those bad employess. =P) I grow up in a very comfy environment, no struggling, no tiring, no stress. Even though I had to work for what I want, I usually get it, didn't take me that much effort either. Childhood, teenage is the best time in life, the only time has no worries. (I am just lucky that I was well protected.) Not that I was not warned to cruel in the real world. However, I thought I would be able to handle it better.

Young people now days never experience the real world and all been protected for their life. It is understandable that employers do not like this kind of employees and find difficult to communicate with them. After all, they are two complete different generations. Yet, please give us sometime and opportunity. We will adapt to it, we will be better, we will grow up.

回到直髮的日子

我是天生直髮的，髮质算不错，也听话。
两年多前第一次染髮，听说很慯髮就再也没有過。 半年多前第一次电髮，想说看起来成熟些。過了半年多，也厌了。主要是因為近来運動做得勤，洗太多了，又懒放cream和mousse，看起来像杂草。忍不下去了，就去烫直了。呵，直髮看起来比较乖。

二十歲以前，只剪髮，其他甚麽都没做過。這两年對頭髮做得，比前二十年都多。染，电，负离子都试過了。想说，人生就那几十年，甚麽都试试吧，不试怎知道自己不适合。

今天算是回归到最原本的样子了。有時想，今天的我會化妆，改髮型，改的太多太勤，會忘了原本的自己。天天带着面具，小心的做人做事，忙忙碌碌，忘记自己最初的理想，最简单的梦想。

我想要的其實很简单，不要名，不要利，有爱的人一起開心過每一天就好。 吵架不要紧，有困难不要紧，遇到不幸也不要紧，重要的是一家人仍然在一起。

是命運還是不争氣？

荷蘭輸了，我喜歡的都輸了。是我没眼光？還是我把霉運带给了荷蘭队？我喜歡的通常都不會赢。真的不公平，我真的覚得那裁判偏心西班牙。不過都過去了，荷蘭雖败犹荣。（我個人意見吧了。）世界杯算是结束了，难得四年一次也算過足了看球瘾。

After Netherlands lost.. I went to watch the A-team.
I have not get a chance to watch movie for quite a bit of time. I used to go almost every week. Now, I would have to stay home and study over the weekends.

A-Team is a good movie. It is funny, cool story line, well done scene and great acting. I would rate the movie 8 out of 10. There are some funny scenes in the movie would make you laugh pretty hard. It is good for leisure, makes you happy. The story also tells the dark side of the US government and the horrible inter-department relationships. This is not a new idea, but it is a good reminder. Nothing is purely black or white, usually there is some grey area.

Netherlands!!!

The world cup is coming to the end.

After the elimination games, only four teams are left in semi-finals. A few of teams I like are already gone home. (such as Argentina...>_<) I would have to admit that Germany played very well on Saturday. The strategy is made towards Argentina and the players were working pretty hard. Those German young men were running around the court quite impressively.

Netherlands is been amazing this year. I actually like them since the Euro cup. There may not be single brilliant player in the team. However, the orange team spirit is pretty impressive. After all, soccer is a team sport. A single Messi cannot do much without the ball passing around with teammates.

Usually, I don't get things I wish. (I only get things I work for.) If Netherlands win the cup this time, would it be a miracle for me?

I don't look like an accountant

Yesterday, Toronto got a such nice weather out. I went to a BBQ after working on my assignment. I met a couple new friends there. It was very nice meeting and talking with them. They are all older than me and I got quite a bit from talking to them.

There is a friend in the group said something about me and that stuck in my head for more than 24hours. He said that I don't look like an accountant...
He said...
Accountant should be more serious and not supposed to be fun. I smile and laugh too much. He can picture me that I would be similing on the working papers and numbers.

Heh.. seriously, I don't think I smile or laugh when I am working. Everyone is serious in the office, in the working environment. However, I don't think anyone should be serious at all time does not matter what profession you are in. You focus and be serious at work, you laugh and have fun when you are off. I don't see anything wrong with that.

In these few years, I tried so hard to give a happy and smiling image to people. Life is already hard, there is no point to show a sad face all the time. I rather keep it myself. Plus, who cares if I am sad, it only means I have a low EQ and not strong enough.


PS. I saw this friend taking pictures of his daily life everyday for memory. I actually think it is a pretty cool thing to do. Even though my life is not that interesting, however it is still my memory.
