My old school photo

I've just found out that my old high school in HK had posted class photos for the last 35 years on its website. Here is the last photo taken before my immigration to Canada. Can you find me in this photo?

I am very bad in keeping friendship with my oversea old classmates or friends, especially when we are living in different time zone. I wonder is my teacher Sister Virginia still alive? What are my classmates doing? Are they feeling happy in their lives? Are they busy at working or taking care of their children? Best wishes to

all of them! :)

Good Love Institute's 12 commandments

I went to "Have a Good Date" talk in Richmond with a few friends on Jun 16,Saturday. I wanna share these meaningful commandments from the organization's website with you.


-只考慮基督徒作為發展長遠關係的對象，若心儀的對象不是基督徒，暫作普通朋友交往，等候 神的帶領；
-與異性交往，雙方關係當保持清晰明確（普通朋友、考慮拍拖或已開始拍拖等），不可含糊隱晦，或用「好朋友」、「兄妹」、「契兄妹」等名稱掩飾；
-已有固定伴侶的，願意與其他異性保持距離，以示尊重伴侶及避免誤會；
-願意定期約見導師或守望你的長者，並為關係作階段性評估；
-把約會當為神所擁有的，神有主權。若關係沒有進展，願意放手，並為神在此「暫時的」關係中感謝祂；
-即使分手，也尊重對方是曾經愛過的人，不作傷害他的事及不說傷害他的話，也不作傷害自己的事；
-當面對分手，願意給自己時間療傷（一年或以上），不趕急進入另一段關係；
-積極培養有助建立成熟關係的質素和能力：獨立自主、能作決定、穩健理財、表達與聆聽、幽默感、有愛心、忍耐、忠誠、坦白、肯認錯、能饒恕、責任感、自制；體恤別人、願意分享與承擔、能委身、能建立親密關係；
-不可作媒人撮合他人或散播別人戀情的消息，或在別人的戀情上亂加意見；
-不可有撬牆腳、一腳踏兩船、三角戀等不良行徑；
-應當竭力追求聖潔、及以聖經作為戀愛及建立婚姻的最高標準；
-婚後努力培育關係，遇有困難，及早求助；靠著神的恩典直到一生一世。

Shopping Experience in a Supermarket

As a girl who loves to eat and tries out new drinks/food, something came to my attention when I tried a Korean noodles booth and ice-cream popsicle booth in a famous chinese supermarket (yes, the one which is 4 blocks away from my house) this afternoon.

Korean noodles booth: The female demonstrator handed the noodles sample to me with a friendly smiles. She also asked me whether I like the taste of the noodles and taught me methods of cooking the noodles. I was loving it and I eventually bought a package of the noodle!

Ice-cream popsicle booth: The female demonstrator did not look at me when she handed over the piece of popsicle to me. Her face was facing down all the time. She didn't smile or talk to me regarding the product. She was working there like a robot in an asembly line. I wondered what had happened to her life. Is it because her booth is one of the highly demanded booths in summer time? (Who doesn't want a piece of popsicle to cool down your throat in summer?)

How do we communicate with the others? OR How do other people receive our message?
55% is from Body Language (eg. eye contacts, facial expressions, gestures), 35% is from our Tone of Voices, & 5% is from words in used.

The girl in the ice-cream popsicle booth did not even want to communicate with me! I am not mad at her. I can't blame her as I think the salary she gets in this job may not able to feed her family. Yet, it reminds me how important it is to talk to my family, friends and clients with eye contacts and smiles. I am glad that I realized the importance of using body language a long time ago!

To all of my friends who are reading this blog: Please do not rely mainly on email/messenger in communicating or deepening relationship with your friends and family!

Recognition Night on May 31,07

My first impression of "recognition night" is that those people with good performance will be awarded and recognized in the event. However, the recognition night in my company is not only recognizing employees with good performance, but also people with good work attitude and ethics. All employees can give out recognition notes/encouraging messages to other employees whenever they feel they want to.

I know it's a meaningful event to attend. However, I felt lonely and not belonging to the event when I stepped in the big room in Canada Place. It's because none of my co-workers, including my manager, went to the event. (My manager had to attend her daughter's play but my other 2 colleagues did not want to go. Therefore, I had to go to that event on behalf of my department. ) Well, it turned out that I could mingle with several credit union staffs and entertained myself by taking photos.
