My hero: Sir Nicholas Winton "Saving the Children"

坚持

有为，有不为。

Must do

Don't count the days, instead make the days count.
That's good enough.

认了

我是温室里长不大的小花。
但真是花吗？>,<

Insight

It is not the work itself that is difficult but getting the mind wanting and willing to work is the greatest challenge.

Silent Times

A day to remember

Meeting with the great mind
Way to immortality is ahead of mankind is my thought after your lecture.  Thank you for the inspiring talk, Dr. John Gurdon (Nobel laureate 2012/ Medicine & Physiology) and happy 81th birthday to you.

乡味

Ang mo tom yam bo spicy, ka ki chu ka ho liao. 

深

喜欢是一种情绪； 爱是一种智慧。

<萧面面>

知道了。

成功不是必然也不是偶然的。
幸运的背后是无数的专注与努力。

想, 做

往往想比去做更难。
当想法有点负面时，就别想太多了。
去做就对了。

DO NoT judge

Don't judge, embrace the difference, instead. 

Reminder of the DAY

学习，需要刻意和努力。

Dear,

there are times that you just cannot act according to your mood.
Whatever needs to be done, has to be completed.
Just do it.

Kitty: "so what? Whatever happens, life goes on."  

智者谦虚而慈悲

As a mature adult, other than smartness and intellectuality, there is something else that you ought to have, humanity. This is the basic.

silence

is priceless

True, but

It's true that we cannot reverse time but we can be aware of time passing and use it wisely.

找心

把它找回来，才能用心。

汗颜

仔细想想，冲动想回家的原因之一竟然是想静静在机上啃完这本书。>,< 

Remedy for happiness

Dr.D said that happiness is just like a shadow which cannot be captured nor detained. Rather, one should focus on achieving the object, which is ‘well-being’. Where there is well-being, there is happiness. And the foundation of well-being is a ‘good mind’, which is developed through cultivating our minds and characters, and not through prayers or wishful thinking.  Dr. D also used to say, having well being means 

1. being well-adjusted to changing conditions
2. being well-balanced with our pursuits in life
3. being well-connected in our relationship with others. 

秘密武器

The Louvre, Paris (2013). 

生活过于紧张以致我忘了拿我所剩无几的调皮来应对。
人生嘛，生不带来死不带去。
豁达一点，轻松一点，宽容一点。
凡事没什么大不了。

Life is too short to be too serious.

燥

时间不够用，又不够纪律，不够稳，所以燥。 >,<
决定先来杯黄老吉凉茶。 一切将好办。 =) 

简单。美

简单就是美。美就是简单。

【简单】

简单其实很简单，
只是往往因为‘贪欲’ 而复杂，
也因为体验 ‘知足’ 再回到简单，
若能直从简单入简单, 那就再简单不过了。

Living a concious life

Be mindful with every choice you make in daily life and take full responsibility with your decision.

哀伤

只有真正快乐的人才更懂得哀伤。Carlton Garden, Melbourne (2014).

My favourite in 2013

                                             Sometimes, the hating has to stop.

想

辦學..

假装

如果一直假装快乐，有哪一天会真的会变得快乐吗？ 

If we pretend to be happy, will there be a time when you can be genuinely happy, forget that you're pretending?

It's in .. my bucket list

Older and, perhaps, wiser?

终于，知道今年要注意的是什么。 要管好自己。
不论自己有多难过多黑暗都不能用言语或其他方式去伤害他人。

无期

我最害怕的是我会一直这样恐惧下去。

知世故而不世故

难得 =)

Like or dislike; right or wrong

If it is something that I don't like because of my own perception or preference, I let it go.
If it is a wrong thing to do, I won't compromise.

lest We FOrgEt

We would not have the life we are having now without the merits and goodness of many others. Thank you, you, you and you...

Please

donate blood as frequent as posisble, if you can.

Life is short ...

, stress makes it even shorter ...

the FINISHERS

Like it or not ...

.... things happen so I've chosen to accept whatever happen happily while I can.

What's your excuse?

Three months back, I managed to convince my little bro in trying to quit smoking. He smoked since his early teen, maybe 12 years back?  I had promised to reward him on the 100th day after he quit smoking but I totally forgotten about it. haha. Then, last week I received a call from my 29 years old bro demanding the 100th day gift. 

These are what I got him, custom made Tees. Hope he likes them and hope I have the honour to print the 1000th, 10000th tees for him =) 

Well done, bro!!

Another good one...

祝你幸福

对，就是你啦。 =)

别恼

You, yourself is causing the pain.
Also, your past makes you, you.

新年快乐。

愿平安。

Difficult time

is time to practise what you have learnt to the maximum.

Being in a relationship

...  or having a child marks the beginning of the journey of unconditional love. metta.

关关难过，关关过。

要沉得住气。

SOmetiMeS

and most of the time, we forget how good we are or how good we can be.

Sometimes and most of the time, we tend to remember bitter experience better than cherish sweet moments in life.

This is how most mind work.

New target- It's going to be good...

Wisdom tooth extraction

Heard many bad experiences of colleagues and friends about it.
I applied for a week leave but my kind supervisor has given me two weeks off. He thinks I need more than one week to heal  >,<

Fear then built up when the date got closer.
And I started to find excuses in trying to postpone the surgery.
Can I drive after that? Who is going to drive me to the drug store to get the pain killer? Experiments are still running.. I really need to get my thesis done. The tooth has not given me any trouble so far why do I need to find trouble?? I am staying alone now, no one is going to cook for me after that. By then, I started to understand why some elderly refuse to do the annual medical check-up.  It's because of fear, fear of unknown. Really torturing me.

Fear disappeared when I decided to trust the dentist. He is professional. When he advised to get it done, it needed to be done.

Fear vanished when I realized physical pain is more bearable than mental pain (fear of unknown).

Got to remember this experience.

Googling

For those who know to google, googling may become the only word you know. anonymous. 

不应该炫耀的...

这次学会了，牙膏也要藏冰箱，不然膏变水了，怎么用？

New Year Resolution

Friends have been asking me, "why must we make new year resolution? I won't do that just because everyone is doing it." A typical cool, generation Y's response towards social norms.
I pondered upon this question for awhile.
Then, I have my answers.
Because we are careless/ unmindful and we forget things.
Because we get carried away so easily by day to day mundane life until we miss the big picture, the purpose of life and what really make us happy.
New Year would be a good life's checkpoint for us to reflect, to learn, to thank and to change.

Happy New Year.
