Moneyball

I am not really into sport movies and I do not really like baseball. I thought sport movies are pretty much the same, not much surprise. This movie did not give me any surprise either. I also think 2hr is too long. There are some scenes can be cut, so they won't drag the length of the movie. 1.5hr would be decent. Again, the story line is nothing new. I predicted most of the movie and the ending.

Overall, I rate this movie to 6/10. No need to see it in the theater, dl is good enough. I didn't watch the movie for Brad Pitt. However, as my friend said, we see his improvement in acting.

I like this movie because it is encouraging. I tend to do what others said, what others think it is the right thing to do. Maybe, there is one time I should really try to stick on something I think it is right to do and not worry about what others think.

Really, like Bill said in the movie, it really does not matter how other people say/think. It is about do you believe in what you do is right. When no one else believes, you should still believe in yourself. Of course, adventure is not easy. There will be difficult times. You just have to get through those times and solve the difficulties in order to achieve your goals.

I am still looking, and I will get there. But I learn, I should be more brave this time. Holding back is not gonna get me anywhere. If you don't try, you won't get hurt, but you won't succeed neither.

没有原因

因為朋友的事，當年的一切回忆都回来了。本以為一辈子都不會再回想了，但可能是命吧。不是老天爷的用意是甚麽。正因為要回忆，也终於知道，我好了。雖然傷疤仍在，但已不再流血也不在痛了。他已變成一個平常的疤痕，除了难看一點外，對我已没有甚麽影响了。原来，真的會有好的一天。

很多事情是没有原因的，也不能解释，不是说你付出多少就能得到多少回报的。開始的時候没有為甚麽，结束的時候也没有。 如果不甘心就用全力去再努力一次，如果死心了，那就彻底放手。别人说甚麽一點也不重要，重要的是自己的心情和感受。

過去的就讓他過去，他只是你人生經歴的一部份。火车到站了就會有人下車，接着車還是會继续向前行驶。要相信，幸福的那一天總會降临。

take care, my love.

how to be mature

since i m heading back to work tomorrow, i really should improve my maturity. once again, i want to thank my friend for the advise today. however, i still did a research on how to be mature.

• Tone down your fashions
• Use manners. Try to be courteous without being stuffy or inflexible
• Have a genuine good attitude and a goodwill towards others
• Have confidence in yourself and speak from your heart. If you think that you have a good idea, share it. But think before you act. 
• Think before you speak
• "Be slow to anger"
• Learn to apologize sincerely for your mistakes, inappropriate words and actions towards others.
• Listen, slightly nod, and say little things like, "Oh" or "yes," to let them know you are listening
• Remember, when you speak, use facial expressions and be funny as usual, but be more serious in conversation.
• Be helpful
• Talk about mature things to people
• Keep in mind, around kids, squat down to their size when you talk to them
• Try to use proper grammar and spelling whenever you write, including instant messaging and online games.
• Keep an open mind 
• Learn to control your temper.
• Don't swear,
• Accept compliments gracefully
• Take criticism gracefully, too
• Be mature and polite online, too.
• Observe your friends
• Write out your goals and plan how you will achieve them

i believe this list is pretty useful. hopefully, i see the improvement within a short period time.

it is time

Technically, i did not have a break after the UFE. I am not complaining, most of people do not have a break after UFE. We either go back to work or school. For me, it is staff training. Today is the last day, I will go back to the boring work routine starting next Monday.

Of course, I don't know if I will pass. However, I think it is the time that I should start to do something I want to do. There are too many things I wanted to do for the past year but did not have time/chance.  Hopefully, it is not too late to start now.

Here is the list of goals. Let's see how much I would get done after a month.

• Learn Japanese
• Weekly yoga/workout
• Work part time in startbucks
• Read inspiration books
• Complete GMAT/GRE
• Travel to a place I have never been before

 I will be honest. It feels good that no more stressful studying. However, not studying makes me feel not learning and improving. I still think I should absorb more knowledge and different kinds experience whenever I have an opportunity.

一個人的生活

不是第一次自己生活了，大學四年也是離家一個人生活的。但這次不同，當一個大大的房子只剩自己一人時，感覚就是空空的。唯一好的就是耳根很清静，累的時候不必说话，也没有人打扰。但的确是不习惯。

從来就知道自己不是作家庭主妇的料，现在更是親身軆會到了。要好好照顾一個家并没有很容易。雖不覚得是甚麽难事，也好像不需要太多的脑细胞，但還是需要一定的精神和時间的。佩服所有的媽媽的，一直把我們照顾的好好的。更佩服那些有全职工作的家庭主妇，真的很不容易，要有很多的耐性和坚持才能做到。

渐渐习惯了一個人的生活，其實很自由。可能會累一點，但可以當運動，也是锻炼自己的一種。

看似容易

别人的路看起来都好像很好走，别人的幸福看起来都好像很容易得到，别人的成就看起来都好像轻而易举。。。因為你不是别人。

没有親身經歴過的人不會明白，在成功的背後作了多少努力，流了多少汗水。當其他人好好過節，享受假期的時後，他们都在努力。好奇為甚麽有些人可以得到這麽多，家庭，爱情，事業，都面面俱到。不是上帝不公平，而是他们在各方面都努力了。他们没有懒惰，要付出才能得到。

没有百分百幸運的人，也没有天降的机會，所有的一切都需要努力争取。當羡慕和嫉妒别人的時後，问问自己，你努力了没？

i really hope it is done

When everyone is jumping around and so excited that it is done, I had a hard time to believe that it is actually over. I do not feel happy at all, neither relieved. >3<

I hope it is actually over. It is out of my hand now.

Praying...
