決定了

考到會計師牌，有資格簽那份audit report几乎變成了我近兩年來的人生目標。坦白說，我不是聰明人，所以需要比別人更加努力。從讀course，拿夠分，到找到CA training office, 到考試，到儲practice hours，我真希望我能夠一切順利。正因為考這牌很費勁，我也很久沒有靜下來想過，如果考到後我還要做什麼？

人生的大方向我是有的，我不是一個沒有計劃的人。我想，做了這麼多年我應該做的事，那我什麼時候可以做我想做的事呢？有些人可能在中學，大學，正式工作前，正式工作後，又或者退休才做。我等不了這麼久，也不知道我有沒有這麼長命。我的決定是，這兩年好好考牌，考到牌就放假，做自己想做的事。放完假，做完自己想做的事再全心投入practice.

我真的不想以後後悔。不考會計師我一定會後悔，但如果考到了還不去做想做的事就更後悔。

老了會怎樣

有沒有想過，自己老了以後會變成甚麼樣子？對於現在的我來說，像是早了一點，但我也有點怕了。老了，一個人，固執，不能自理，坦白講，我情願結束。其實，我並不在乎生命的長短，我只想活得開心有意義。但人不能那麼自私，也不能隨心所慾，到了某個階段對很多事都要負起責任。

雖說很麻煩，但一定要做到照顧老人。我自問不算是一個有愛心的人，很多護理的事我做不到。但是，做人不可以沒有良心，過得了別人也過得了自己。哪怕不能親身親力做到，也應該盡心力做力可能及的。要知道，你也會有老的一天。

從未明白到，身教如此重要。聽是聽多了，大多時候我都不以為然，因為事不關己。今時今日也是事不關己，但卻親眼看到了甚麼叫身教。當初你怎樣對你父母，今日你兒女怎樣對你。當初你做過的事是如何不堪入目，今日你兒女也會照做，因為他們覺得沒問題。

我慶幸我有一對對自己言行負責的父母。

廣州亚運

想當年，當别人问我从哪来的時侯我只會很肤浅的说從一個離香港很近的城市。並不因為甚麽，只因為當初廣州並没有甚麽著名座标令人認识，说了等于没说。香港是個大多数人都知道的地方，所以就以香港為座标。

今時今日，我可以跟人说我是從廣州來的。因為有了廣州亚運 ，也因為今日的廣東省，廣州市比十年前强大了几倍。廣州不再是一個没有知名度的城市了，我也不需要用其他城市来做地标了。

花了三個小時看亚運開幕，场地不大，以水為主题，有些特色。我個人喜歡以影畫作背景，把人吊起来作不同形状的那個环节。有些难度，也有些新意，比起温哥华冬運很不同。中國的開幕式有很多人，加國没有。冬運的设计很漂亮，亚運给我的感觉是很繁華，各有千秋。

只有國家强大，國人在世界舞台上才有地位。同样道理，只有自己有能力，才能在社會上有一席位置。

Three things you should not wait

I read an article from another day. The article indicates three things you should not wait in your life, I believe it is kind of true.

1. Dream
       I guess most people would agree with this one. You should pursue your dream whever you can, shouldn't wait until it is too late. People tend to struggle with living on daily basis, forget what they want from the very beginning. We always wait because we thought we still have time. What if we don't?

2. Family
       We assume family would always be there for us, we always take so much from family. When we get something from other, we would give back. When we get something from family, we take it as granted. Maybe there is one day, family is not gonna be available for you anymore. When you realize, there if nothing left there.

3. Poverty
       I never really understand it. The article said if we wait, we get used to be poor so that we won't look for better life anymore. I am not sure about this one because I don't see how a person get used to being poor.

My logic is wrong

临放假的那天，被老板整整lecture了一個多小時。我不會说老板在骂我，因為我承認我從中受益良多。我情愿他今天的lecture令我受用而不是等我犯更大的错時才知道我一直都是错的。用我爸的话，他是袋钱入我袋。

基本上来说，他的话我還没完全消化。说明我整個逻辑都错了，我需要一點時间去了解和改变。的确我经验少，對事情的看法不够全面。有些事情，我连原點都错了，那终點當然也會错。我還要學習從每样最小的事都能反映出我最原始的想法。

放假這两個礼拜真要把基本功练好，再复杂的事也得從最基本的開始。

Study Week I

This is the first week off for studying. Once again, it proved that I really cannot study at home. Hope it is not too late to catch and I will be able to complete the work as I scheduled.
Seriously, after working for half a year, I need some time to adjust myself back to study mode. There is no Weldon/Taylor anymore. There is no university study environment influence me anymore. It is all about myself, all about self motive. I realized how much self control for the UT student now.

女孩要富养

我没有看過蜗居，但爸媽在看我也就瞄两眼。刚好聽到一句台词： “男孩要穷养，女孩要富养。”爸说，有道理。想深一层我也赞同。穷人家的孩子早當家，贫穷會令人发奋，向上。穷养，會令孩子上進，而上進心對男生来说尤其重要。太舒服了，就不會努力了。不是说女生就不需要上進，但總的来说女生比较容易被小恩小惠所迷惑。如果从小得到物质和精神上的满足，就不容易被迷惑而走歪路了。

我曾聽媽同人说過，只要她（我）不走歪路就好。其實路是你自己选的，选了就要對自己负责。我覚得，無論选哪条路，都應该讓父母放心。

Thoughts from Yoga

Finally, it becomes a habbit. I go to yoga class every week now. My boss knows, my co-workers know, so that they won't keep me for work on that day.

The recent HK news about Sausantong closing their yoga place due to the less popularity of yoga in HK now days. Yoga used to be very popular in HK with all those yoga classes and stores. Now they are all closing down. I understand people follow trends and try different new stuff, especially Asians. I am not going to lie, Canadians are like elephants, very slow in everything. They are slowly reacted to fashion, technology... etc. However, from viewing it from another perpsective, they are more stable and less risky. They usually make decision for a long term goal, which results less waste in a way.

I did not try yoga until recently joined a gym membership. I actually think it is a good activity and worth my time to do it every week. If you want to get a good result from one thing you do, you have to put in time, effort and committment. I do not think I lost weight from doing yoga. (I don't think you are supposed to anyways.) However, I do feel my body is more flexible and relaxing after doing it. The muscles are not as tight as before. More importantly, it calms you down while you are doing it.

what's the most important thing

I personally think nothing is more important than health. Without health, does not matter how much more you have if your life, you will not be able to enjoy it. If you want a quality life, health should be your priority. Therefore, I believe employer should always put work health and safety in priority as well. I understand employers would like their employees to be productive, however it does not mean you should despite all other factors in the work environment.

When you feel sick, go see a doctor before it is too late, unless you decide not to treat it in the first place. Doctors are licensed for a reason. From every aspect I think they are more reliable than those unlicensed therapist. When you are still able to walk, go see the world before it is too late. You never know what would happen the next day for sure, why waste time on wait and see?
