no regrets

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

I think it is true.

It isn't what I want, but I will take the hard road.

There are things we do not wanna happen, but have to accept; things we don't wanna know, but have to learn; and people we can't live without, but have to let go.

Ultimately, I will understand it better.

Wall Street

Today is challenge at work. I was going to have a nice run at gym and relaxing sauna. Then plan changed when a friend called for movie. The movie is named Wall Street - Money Never Sleeps.

This movie is basically about the financial crisis took place two years ago. The story is not told perfectly, yet it is pretty hard to tell the story prospectively. Everyone has a different point of view. I like Shia Saide LaBeo. I watched his shows since he was a kid, and he improved a lot from his last movie. A kid grew up.

I rate this movie 7 out of 10. The script writer done his homework. Since it is pretty hard to tell a full story, I think it would be better to reflect the whole picture from a smaller story. Apparently, this movie is a redone. I never watched the original one and the story actually happened. 

Is "greed good'? a question raised in the movie.

I personally think greed is a good thing at times. It motivates you. However, a person should know what he wants and what is enough for him. It is good to want money and success. However, money and success should not cost everything of yours. There is always balance in life. Do not regret when it is too late.

My theory is... no one really cares about what you want and how much effort you put in. The process does not really matter. It is all about what others want and how you can provide them. If you can offer their demand, they will supply yours. It is business, it is all about the deal. It is the real world.


Wall Street is a dream for me. One day, I want to live a life in New York City. Or maybe I won't even fit in...

沒有周末了

前段時間較忙,雖然累但也充實。
上個禮拜開始就再沒有周末了。原來,每星期天上八小時課是很辛苦的。很多年都沒有試過了,大學一星期才十五小時課,中學我是三點半放學的。原來,上八小時課比上八小時把班要辛苦。人老了,真的不像以前那麼吸收了。

Did I do something wrong?

I personally think I like to talk, I like to communicate with people and I like socializing. It is not because I like to get something out of people. Sometimes, I just think it is more fun and easy in certain environments if there is some noise.

I personally think it is alright to have a small talk in between work breaks. I am not a workaholic, I take break between works. I don't think small talks would hurt. However, I got something ignore me into my face today. That did not feel good. I guess it is partially my fault. We are all OT-ing, should of concentrate more. Yet, I thought I could make the atmosphere feels easier and less stressful. I guess I was wrong and it was proved.

I have to let it out because I do not think it is polite and appropriate to ignore a person like that. You may say something to end it, a smile to reply or even just a nod. I just don't think you should just walk by with a extremely dry face and completely ignore a person. I think it was actually very rude. Especially when that person did not do anything to you at all. I couldn't get this out of my mind for the entire night, hopefully I can get over this after the sleep tonight.

Taker

There is not many awesome movies out there recently. Good movies are usually on during the summer time. Plus, I am not much into cartoon movies. I picked this average movie at the end. Naming it as an average movie, I would rate this movie's filming, story line, acting 5 out of 10.

The director established a nice and cool image of these bank robbers. Technically, bank rob is wrong. However, the movie made me feel the bank robbers are the good people. While the movie is on, most people in the theater actually want the robbers to get away with it.

Orlando Disney Trip II – Walt Disney World


I feel like I should spend some blogging on Orlando/Disney city planning and their hotels.
I booked the Disney Port Orleans – Riverside Hotel inside the Disney area. This is because I do not want to spend time and worry about the transportation between hotels, parks and airport. The hotel is pretty old, yet their maintenance is pretty well done. Everything looks simple but long lasting, it is very U.S style. They have large investment contributed for future revenue generation. Unlike the Chinese, they reconstructing instead of maintaining.
The impression of Orlando and Disney World to me is CLEAN. The park, street, hotel. bus…everywhere in the area is very clean. I barely see garbage on the floor. All the trees, lakes, rivers, grass are green and shiny. I understand it is partially because of the weather, Orlando rains a few hours every day. However, I think I could give the credit to management and employees. I see the caretaker holding the sweeper everywhere. On the last day, I see the management people walking around the park with garbage back and the garbage pickup tool. They actually put in the effort to maintain the area.

Orlando Disney Trip I – First Day

I usually do not type in Word first before posting on blog. This is the first time, hopefully, there will be less typo.
This is a four days trip to Orlando Disney. Due to the time constraint, we only went to Walt Disney World in Orlando and outlet shopping. There are other attractions I wanted to go; I guess I would have to wait until my next visit to Orlando.
First day
I choose to fly from Buffalo because the flight ticket is so much cheaper. The flight is around 7am, so I did not sleep at all the night before. I literally left my house at 2am and drove to Buffalo airport. One thing I like about US domestic flights, they are pretty on time. They departed on time; travelled within the schedule time limited and arrived on time. Comparing to my flight to Las Vegas during Christmas time, the security is less intense.
We arrived around 10.30am to Orlando airport. The heat just blew to us right away. I felt the same when I arrived in HK airport. Orlando is summer all year long. I saw those tropical plants all around the place. The airport is pretty nice and organized. All signs are pretty clear, it did not take me long to find the Disney Magical Express (a free transportation that take us to Walt Disney Resorts).
In the afternoon, we went to the Premium Outlet mall in Orlando. Surprisingly, I did not do crazy shopping there. I guess I know there is limited space in my luggage. =P There are more brand name stores in this outlet mall compared to the others ones I went to such as Vegas, Cleveland, Chicago…etc. I saw Swarovski, Burberry, Seiko there.
