是多,是少,在于你自己怎么想

难求啊
人家说上天是很公平的,掠夺你一样宝贵的东西,它就会赏你另外一样宝贵的东西。
在这么不幸的一年里,我却有幸认识了一位贵人。
如果没有了他,我那一年是那么的平淡和难熬。
他的出现,令我灰暗的一年有了生气和意义,让我觉得那一年并不足以成为我的世界末日,也在我记忆档案里留下很深刻的脚印。
认识了他,让我觉得社会还存在很多人都觉得已经绝种的好人。
了解了他,也让我明白很多事情我应该看开一点。
我因该感到知足了。我衷心感激他,但愿他与家人能够平安,快乐。
我心乱如麻,慌张地寻觅,它依然消失了

Disciplined life
I have been so disciplined for a couple of days that I go to sleep before 10pm. I do not force myself to follow the health protocol. I just automatically feel tired and sleepy when my body's clock strikes 9.30pm. At 10pm, I will shut my laptop down and put myself under the blanket, preparing for a 8.5-hour of sleep.
The next morning, unexpectedily I do not feel much better. I could hardly get up and open widely my eyes still. My energy is leaking every hour. After few hours, I turn to a lady with withered face and emotionally I feel ill.
For another one more night, I need to be "disciplined" again.

"Unshareable" talk

Brainstorming S.O.S
I have been whole day sitting in front of my monitor, looking at the same document, having only one thought on my mind, that is to enhance my first official proposal (first piece since my graduation) according to my manager's feedback. I've been thinking all day and getting nowhere. I keep the song "Love Paradise" by Kelly Chen repeating in my music player so that I can be delighted every second listening to it.
He has given me valuable comments on the draft that I did and it is time to enhance it to be more redeable for users. I actually understand all his comments, his expectations and I even agree to his point of view.
I just could not work out the exact way to improve the proposal though I have racked my brains. I have included all I know and I could into the draft. What else?
Simply it is because I am not in good condition/mood, or they are all I have to my best understanding?
Let's pray I can brainstorm on this during my journey back to my hometown later, so that I can greatly enjoy the lovely weekends.

Cooking Exploration 3
1) Healthy lettuce wrapped with sinful nuggets and eggs
2) The Alliaceae Family
Leek, along with garlic and onion fall under the family of Alliaceae. I created a dish using three of them, stewing the leek, onion, garlic and glass noodles with Nam Yu and Fu Yu.
I was addicted to yam after my Guilin's trip. This was my first attempt applying yam in my cooking. Similar to item 2 above, I made use of Nam Yu to stew the leek and yam. The outcome was a little bit disappointed as the yam was dehydrated and hence its texture was not good.
4) Braised Bihun with oyster sauce, mushroom and home made minced chicken
5) Baked capsicum with home made minced chicken
6) Fried Bihun
My first attempt making glutinous rice, and I was satisfied with the result. Ingredients include mushroom, luncheon meat, dried shrimps, onion and garlic.
8) Enchovies and carrot porridge with You tiao
Dip Mantou into stired eggs and fry them on a pan with butter replacing cooking oil.
A vegetarian pepper-based soup with carrot, onion, bean curd, potatos, tomatoes and chinese pickles, excluding meat.

Bamboo Charcoal Bread
10 January 2011
I went to Pavillion yesterday and recommended by my friend to try the bamboo charcoal bread in Lavendar Bakery shop at the Food Republic food court. I saw the long queue once I reach the shop and I actually could not figure out the reason. Without thinking too much, I just moved around and looked for the bamboo charcoal bread. Here it was!!!
When I first saw this, it did not look like bread, but charcoal to me. I just wondered and asked my friend if the charcoal bread can really be consumed. She told me that the food made from bamboo charcoal is actually very good and healthy.
Most often, bamboo charcoal is used as an air and water purifier or in soap. I never expect it can be added into food. It sounds unappetizing but after searching more information about it from Internet, it is believed that it brings all of the toxin cleaning properties of charcoal to the food.
Try it out if you believe in this.

forgive but not forget
很多时候,人被面子/执着/怨恨蒙蔽,认为"它们"没有价值了,而很潇洒地放弃它们。直到有一天,面子/执着/怨恨渐渐退了,却发现已经失去你其实还很在乎的"它们",但却不懂"它们"到底是如何消失的。可能当时你的确有遗弃它们,过后忘了,又或者不小心弄丢了,而自己不知道。
很多东西不是说丢掉就可以删除曾经发生的事情。因人而异,我个人会把它当作是回忆,管它是开心的,还是悲哀的。就算结局是不理想的,但也不能否认之前所发生的点点滴滴,特别是甜蜜和开心的。毕竟它们确实在我生命中留下烙印。最重要是就算伤心事被存在脑海里,也能够不被它们困扰,大概这就是所谓的"放得下"吧。
人因缘而结识,不该因不愉快的事情而把那宝贵的缘打破。刚刚看到朋友说了一句"可以不忘记,但一定要放得下"....
Forgive and Forget是很难,forgive but not forget更难。如果你是属于后者,而还是很想找到你正在寻找的东西,告诉我,我可能帮上忙,帮你找到答案。如果是我想错了,那就不好意思咯:)。认不认同我所说的,还是得需要你自己去分析。
友谊长存.....

A challenging day
The POS migration project has been initiated about a few months ago. It was put on hold when the manager was seeking approval for it. At that time, we have done with some analysis on the existing flows and come out with different diagrams.
After the approval, I was assigned to propose high level migration methods along with the pros and cons. I remembered how panic I was when I heard this. This is my first project in my working experience and I did not even know how to start the assignment. With the help of my senior, I finally passed through the 2 weeks time and managed to deliver the proposal. I just did the presentation today and it was indeed challenging. It seems like there is no gap to allow me for a short breath as more tasks are coming following the proposal.
The picture is getting clearer now and I shall start drilling down the analysis and I am expected to deliver another deeper level of proposal.
It would be formally kick-started in second half of February. I may or may not need to travel depending on budget. During this period of time, requirement document and gap analysis shall be carried out.

这么近,那么远
曾经的我们是那么的靠近,不愉快的事情发生后,我们在一日之间变得那么的生疏。
日子久了,彼此的关系又渐渐在虚幻的空间拉近了,但在现实生活中,我们仿佛像个陌生人,就算擦肩而过,也不会回头望一眼。
身体预兆
今天起床就觉得怪怪的。明明睡足8个小时,怎么会好像全身没力,还加了一点点的喉咙不适和鼻子敏感。到了中午,连走路也慢得像只蜗牛,不过喉咙和鼻子却好多了。
可能它们意味着今天会有不寻常的事情发生吧。果然不寻常的事情发生后,身体不适就一个接一个的消失。首先来了好友的短讯,告诉了一个令人伤感的消息,过后也来了个另我受宠若惊的消息。本来后者会足以令我开心而抵消前者带来的悲哀,可能是时机的关系吧,在这个时候让我听见,反而令浑浑噩噩的我加上负担,也让我无法和心情不好的好友分享。
Options
Why do people feel desparate when they are not given options and yet feel uneasy when they have many choices to choose from?
Would you prefer a life which is as simple as 1+1=2 than a+b=2 with many possible values to fill in a and b?
I guess the biggest challenge here is you have made a decision and then before you can execute it, another option comes in. And this option seems to be so powerful that even you do not pick it, it can still disrupt the execution of your initial decision.
If you have troubles in deciding, most likely each of them would require you to sacrifice differently and give you something different in return. If you are a greedy person who hopes to maximize the return with minimum losses, this may make you suffer even more. Why not just stick to the initial plan since you have no clue how to decide once again? :)

那得起,就放得下吗?
或许脑海里还有太多的空间,无法把这份执著抛诸脑后。执着包含的都是情感,怨恨,回忆和抱负。
而我正是一个无时无刻都背着执著的路人。就算看到路途还很遥远,但两肩已经酸痛得不能再背着任何包袱了,我还是无法狠下心肠把背包留下。
可能是原则的关系吧,或者这也是另一份执著而令我无法抛下我所背着的包袱。
我觉得如果要我潇洒的摆脱那份执著,会物极必反。怎么说呢?如果要我立刻把背包放下而继续往前跑,当时我倒会觉得没有了重量而感到不自在,不习惯而开始想念之前一直陪伴着我的背包。

有和没有
新的一年,有了新的领悟。在COLD STORAGE看到一个西饼/蛋糕,包装成一个圣诞礼盒,觉得很大体,就买下来送人。礼盒两旁用一条彩带连接着,做成一个耳朵让我们可以提着走。
回家后想想,重点在于礼盒里的蛋糕,有没有耳朵,蛋糕还是一样,最重要是蛋糕要好吃。给了我一个耳朵,也不见得能方便我提着走。这么重的一个蛋糕,还是要捧着走较为安全。
过后用礼物纸把它包起来时,觉得耳朵反而很多余,索性就把它剪了。
对于某些人说,耳朵的存在给整体还是带来了一个不同的效果,看起来比较大体,精致,像是一个礼物。但如果再三想想,有没有发觉那个耳朵其实只是对表面或外表做出贡献,而对实质完全没有带来任何作用。人往往就是只朝着一个方向去看东西,奈何....
