The more stress you have, the more likely you are getting ill. There is a so-called ‘Life changing unit’ available in Psychology to measure the probability of how stress contributes to your health. By looking at the list of event and adding up the units you got, you know what status you are currently in. Be calm with your result.

Though individual purchasing power in China is not considered as high, China has been ranked as the fast grown country with huge potential to absorb the luxury goods in the eye of top brands. The emergence of middle class in the Chinese society accelerates the process of consumption of luxury goods. The known reasons of love of luxury goods in China are surveyed and concluded as two in most circumstances. It is either a way of rewarding our own hard work or self recognition of social esteem.

‘Aholic’ – suffix, means ‘unable to stop doing, eating or drinking something’. Workaholic is to realize one's own value of existence by obtaining recognition for achievement from the peer. Blogoholic is to keep updating blog and getting people known one’s own existence. Loveholic is to avoid getting lost on one’s own way by keeping loving someone. They all have one thing in common. That is, they in the first place get themselves lost when facing with loneliless. Excessive dependence on certain thing won’t get life meaningful. Instead, life’s becoming more meaningless. There should be no single thing which could solely dominate your life.

Two days ago, I attended a function about the opportunities in Asia / Pacific regions. During a conversation with a managing director of an accounting firm, I was questioned by ‘why would you make such a change’ and as usual, I gave my standard answer, ‘It’s likely that there are vast opportunities in Asia / Pacific regions than here’. Since my friends know my decision, I have been kept questioned by similar question. No matter how I answer, half of them will not believe in me, interestingly.

I realise that I’m more like a stubborn person. By saying that, what I mean is that I sometimes don’t know how to adjust my plan to deal with the changing situation. The reason might be a promise I made. This word is defined as ‘when you say that you will certainly do something’. It can be a promise to yourself, your friends, your family, or whoever, or even a combination of them.

It’s likely that we make promise from time to time. But in fact, how’s the result? Have you ever taken action to get your promise into effect? If you haven’t not act in according to your promise, the worst thing that will happen in most circumstances is that your credibility has been damaged. Thus, it’s better not to make any promise at all. In that case, you don’t have to stick with anything. However, whenever we want to convince others or yourself, we would like to make kind of promise. By making  a promise, you want to create an invisible agreement between you and yourself or others and expect that others will act in accordance with it as well. However, whether or not the other party including yourself will believe in it is another matter.

Interestingly, there’s a recent news about celebrity who damaged his credibility by keeping a false promise to the public despite that he’s not required to do so due to certain issue being so private. It’s hard to keep a promise and get it into effect if you are not likely to act in that way. But if you can’t achieve it, it’s better to not make any promise to anyone including yourself, as it would be difficult to keep that promise unless you are really acting in accord with it.

This word is usually disapproving and used to describe someone who is determined to do what they want and refuses to do anything else. You can describe a person as stubborn as a mule (don’t know why mule is stubborn anyway) if he’s very inflexible.

I read an article about ‘星座婚前婚後老公篇’. Unfortunately, guys like me in my horoscope is described as ‘stubborn’ though i reckon i am sometimes. Here is what it says,

‘結 婚 前 他 活 潑 開 朗 、 魅 力 無 窮 ， 可 是 結 婚 之 後 你 就 會 發 現 他 ： 比 頑 固 不 化 更 勝 老 太 婆 ， 想 讓 他 改 變 主 意 比 登 天 更 難 。 眼 看 他 犯 錯 ， 卻 沒 有 任 何 辦 法 說 服 他 們 回 心 轉 意 。 你 們 只 有 一 起 在 錯 誤 中 學 習 ， 準 確 點 是 你 陪 他 從 他 的 錯 誤 中 學 習 。’

I’m not gonna talk about whether i have charm though i want to :) (firstly, i’m not a narcissistic person; secondly, it’s subject to others’ evaluation and comments). What caught my eyes in this statement is the second part. I reckon sometimes i do follow my own way no matter how others think of me. It’s good though coz it’s my way. But just i will still keep going on my own way though it’s wrong and until i find it wrong by myself. From economy point of view, it’s not cost-effective, especially in terms of cost of time.

I’m inflexible and not prepared to accept change to some extent. Though i find it good, it’s just not my option in my mind. One of my friend defines me as person who’s not suitable for finance industry. The reason is partly that i’m not as much adaptive as required by the finance industry. And accounting is more appropriate to me. I can’t deny my friend’s comment is partly right.

There’s one thing i believe in. Your personality can still be changed as long as you want to change and re-shape it unless you are not willing to.

‘Compromise’ means ‘to allow your principles to be weakened or your standard or morals to be lowered’.  We’re living in a world full of 'compromise’. When you walk out of the office door to enjoy your Japanese food, but the restaurant is full and you have to try another one, say Thai food. When you want to go for holiday, say, to Gold Coast, but it’s fully booked up or you don’t have enough mates going out with you, you change your plan to stay home.

It’s not necessary to be bad when you do compromise on something or with somebody though I usually considered as a negative word. Maybe we could look at it from another point of view. You might treat it as an alternative way of being a change. You won’t know what or how it will be anyway. Despite of the fixed factors, there’re still various variables affecting or shaping the way how it looks like. Thus, after you make compromise, you don’t have to be down in some circumstances.

    如何難過 我也不會放棄
    愛你 從一開始早就預備
    熱情 縱是跌倒在地
    流著血 我也回企起

    旁人 求我 要我不去愛你
    為何 從一開始想做後備
    情人 已沒有選擇餘地
    我說我愛你 為何硬要把我處死

    癡心都不再流行 戀火都不再動人
    風一吹可以讓承諾變微塵
    為何原本都算合襯
    最終主角 變了這位陌路人

    想好好擁抱情人 身邊竟充滿敵人
    那裡會找到刻骨銘心
    給那個某君 偷走你的吻
    我像人潮浪裡中 往下陸沉
    走不出這烙印

With the start of spectacular firework moment @ 12am, year 2008 finally came to an end with people's eagerness for brand new year. Five years ago, I went to harbour bridge with classmates and waited for a long time to see the so-called 9pm family firework. That's a piece of unforgettable memory not merely because the scene and atmosphere was impressive. It's more related to my silly and interesting wound near my right eye. Last nite, i only watched the 9pm one not because i felt tired but had to accompany with my Melbourne relatives back home for early return flight this morning. With early arrival @ Milson Point, my friends occupied an good 'battle field' for their NYE battling against the time. Probably 9pm was for family, it's not that crowded as what i expected. Thousands of young people in a 'high' mood after a significant in-take of alcohol of different sizes were waiting at entrance to join their one a year bigger than ever live party when i was on my way of departure. Though i realised that 12am midnight firework was much more better than the 9pm one, i had good time with my friends and knew how i should get ready for it next time if any.

PS - A good camera is a must in such kind of spectacular moment. The common compact DC is hopeless at all...I might need a more professional one to make up my amateur photo-taking skill...

I think hard disk is very important invention to us.It enables us to store more stuffs, .e.g music, movie, game, etc., but still save a lot of spaces. We could simply put in whatever we want and delete them whenever we like to. Once it's stored there, it will be there. You could replay your video thousands of times without missing any detail. When you feel sick of the video or game, you could press the button and they would be removed from your hard drive forever.

I reckon human brain is a more advanced and precise 'invention' in the world given the fact that we use it to invent most of things, including hard disk. However, human brain sometimes could not function as well as hard disk. Having said that, what I'm talking about is you won't remember everything happened in the past and you could never completely 'remove' things from your brain. Yes, that is called 'Memory'. I think this is the most unique feature of our brain.

When we had happy moment, we want to keep it into our memory and store it forever. When we come across sorrow, we want to keep away from it and never remember again. To this extent, hard disk works better than our brain. Some one might say, 'it's never a good idea to remember every detail happened in the past, coz we will never live in the past anyway. You just need to know you ever experienced it. That's enough.' It's true. But how many of us would like to give away the happy moment that ever happened to us. Probably, as we could not remember every detail, there's an opportunity for us to add more fantastic things to this 'fading' memory and 'reshape' it as whatever we want and whenever we recall it, making it much more enjoyable. On the contrary, as the sadness could not be permanently removed from our memory, that gives us a chance to value our happiness. Though we might still feel uncomfortable for it, with time passing by, its effect on us will finally fade away.

I learn from a passage that we should not carry the troublesome happened today forward to tomorrow in order to keep a healthy mind. So no matter what happened to you today, please press the 'delete' button in your mind before you close your eyes. Tomorrow should be a brand new day. I reckon it's hard for me anyway.

"Ordinary people"

hohooooow hooooooo
Girl I'm in love with you
But this ain't the honeymoon,
pass the infatuation phase....
We're right in the thick of love,
At times we get sick of love,
It seems like we argue every day...
I know I misbehaved,
And you made your mistakes,
And we both still got room left to grow....
And though love sometimes hurts,
I still put you first,
And we'll make this thing work,
But I think we should take it slowww
We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go..
Cause we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow..
Take it slow..., oh oh oh oh oh oh, this time we'll take ,it slow
Take it slow..., oh oh oh oh oh oh, this time we'll take, it slow
This ain't a movie, no
No fairytale conclusion y'all
It gets more confusing every day owowowo
Sometimes it's Heaven sent
Then we head back to Hell again..
We kiss, then we make up on the way...
I hang up, you call..
We rise and we fall..
And we feel like just walking away
As our love advances
We take second chances
Though it's not a fantasy
I still want you to stay
We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cause we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow
Take it slow..oh oh,ho,oh oh oh, this time we'll take it slow
Take it slow..oh oh ohhhhah, this time we'll take it slow
Take it slow..
Maybe we'll live and learn
Maybe we'll crash and burn
Maybe you'll stay
Maybe you'll leave
Maybe you'll return
Maybe another fight
Maybe we won't survive
Maybe we'll grow
We'll never know
Baby, you... and I!
We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cause we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow, hey hey hey
We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cause we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow
Take it slow oh,oh,oh
This time we'll take it slow
Take it slow oh,oh,oh
this time we'll take it slow
take it slow oh,oh,oh
slow
this time we'll take it slow
take it slow oh oh oh oh oh oh
this time we'll take it slow

Lyrics

After 2-year waiting period, he's back with a new album full of co-operation with other hit artists, ie Kanye West, Will.I.Am. & Estelle.

"I think it's hard to find a general theme [for the album]. It's a lot of love and relationship songs, as people probably would expect from me. There's not an overarching lyrical theme that goes throughout. It's just a bunch of good songs, I think."

—John Legend, MTV

I just happened to know my new facial products last weekend in a pharmacy store. To me, I know there are quite a lot of products from this brand and always get confused by its men's wide product line. With the fact that I almost used up my current facial kits at home, I browsed for a while and took one of them into my basket and headed toward the counter and got it paid. With two days usage, it's surprisingly good to me. With pretty much concepts built up in my mind previously, I doubt if the product from this brand is workable. Low price compared with those big brands (friends used to tell me there's positive co-relation b/w price and effectiveness in facial / skin products) and its new emergence in men's skin market embeds a doubt in my head. Since it so far works well with me, I reckon that this might be a good bargain. There're something you might never know until you try it. Probably...

When I was still happy with its effectiveness on my way back home, I began to think out the matter of appropriateness. Of course, something are unanimously accepted by all of us and thus we could tell what goodness or badness is. It's not easy to measure everything in terms of 'Goodness' or 'Badness'. It might be good to you but not others. For instance, he could deal with his job competently but this does not necessarily and absolutely means that he's better than you in terms of technical aspect. Other factors play roles as well and contribute to his fitness or appropriateness to that position. Sometimes we also can't figure out how come some friends around us could hang around with another half who from our point of view is unacceptable (being too bad in most of circumstances) and thus their close relationship is still a mysterious paradox to be unfolded later on. Wearing the most expensive clothes on your body might still turn out to be a burden to your whole image and thus leave you look ridiculous. Some of us might not realise this. Or even we know this but still keep following the views from others and then make judgement. More or less, we care about how people around us think of us. And the consequence? It's no wonder why some of us will be struggling in living in the life which is apparently good only from the point of view by others.

From time to time, I received lots of emails from my ex-university in respect of various alumni activities. But I never go there once coz I always question myself, 'ok....will I be the oldest person there if I go or what if I don't have any topic with those persons....' Last nite, I found my answer in a alumni gathering...

I don't know what other people think of these kinds of gathering. But for me, I realise that it's a good place to open your mind and make more friends no matter if or not they really become your friends in the end. No one could tell, rite? But if you are not gonna try this step, you won't know the result anyway. I think most of us will feel uncomfortable at the very beginning when getting into an environment where you don't find any thing or any one you are familiar with (It's true because human tend to become more passive in unknown environment). Fortunately, the host eased me soon when she took me to one of the group where I soon got rapport with my new friends, incl. an IT adviser from Bank, an IT analytic director and a Canadian gal from Consulate (but discovered as a Painter tonite when browsing her website). They were kind and pretty much open-minded than what I expected before. One reason why I did not wanna join this kind of activities is I doubt if people there is benefit or advantage-oriented. I can't tell if it's true and I believe that there are always some people who are looking forward to meeting right people there for either personal or professional reason. But I think part of them are only looking forward to meeting some new people and having some funs after work. I am not quite sure if or not will keep contacting those new friends known last nite but I reckon that I did enjoy talking to them and have fun during that short period. Probably, I might meet them again in certain time and place in future and still remembered each other and thus went for another drink...

Just one step, either forward or backward when facing with the door, a different situation might happen to our life. If it doesn't cost you much in terms of effort, why not take a try and explore the different aspect of life?

Just came across an article from newspaper saying that people in Shanghai more or less suffer a mental illness called 'Earthquake Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder' recently. Since the occurrence of earthquake in China, people keep receiving thousands of messages from TV, Internet, broadcasting, etc, relating to the updated status of victim in Sicuan. If you don't care about it, you will be classified as non-caring person. And therefore, most of people forfeit the normal living style and commit themselves to experiencing the mind of victim from this natural disaster. In the end, lots of people feel mentally uncomfortable and stressful. A psychologist advises that people adjust their mind since the disaster and avoid blind commitment which could lead to excessive distraction on normal life.

But still, I believe that effort and commitment will go on from Chinese community everywhere in the world as it's a great opportunity to show our love to those victim. Be positive!

A pure love story about waiting which will unlikely happen in reality...but if you watch it with mind, you might like it as well. We all know that the story in movie and drama is untrue but that's exactly why we value them in some cases.

I'm not a good movie / drama reviewer, but this is how I view the movies / dramas among different regions,

• HK tends to incorporate many daily details in the production and depict the our most common life in the story
• China focuses on serious and instructive topics and tries to send certain signal to the audience
• Japan will try to challenge your conventional thoughts with unexpected topics, inner-mind description and complete set of soundtrack

I can't deny that rainy days could cause blue mood. Without sunshine in the sky, everything becomes dull. That's why I like sunny days. But of course, without rainy days, we will never know how important the sunny days are.

On the way back home from city, I said to my friends, 'I begin to doubt that most of the men in this world will finally marry to the one whom they don't really love deeply. Why? Because I begin to think that you could never find the one you like the most while she's kind of woman who could handle your home well.' He replied, 'You know, it's said that we are lucky to meet three persons in this world, the one you like the most, the one who likes you the most, and the one you choose to marry. In most circumstances, they are different persons. And after you understand how to love a person and how to be loved by a person, you could have a happy marriage and handle things well in a relationship. '

From lovers to marriage, it takes time and there're always lots of obstacles arising during the progress. It's a gorgeous thing for both persons love at first sight and get married later on. But we all know that it rarely happen to us in reality. When we are getting older, but let me use 'mature' instead, your past experience is keeping you away from the fantasy and you begin to doubt your naive thoughts.

To love or be loved, what will you choose? No answer is the correct answer. Go for the one which could bring you more joy. But for men, I think the latter would be a more practical option indeed. Time is limit, if you keep spending more time on pleasing the one you like, you will definitely have less time on other aspects, e.g. work. No matter how time goes by, work is still the priority for men. I came across a sentence in the drama I saw recently, 'The attraction of woman is reflected by age (negatively related) while financial status will demonstrate a man's value (positively related).' It sounds to be funny but still casts a light in our reality.

I think man should marry either early or late. Getting stuck in the middle will be dangerous and cost you more valuable time and effort. Getting married earlier usually means that you both marry each other simply for naive and impulsive feeling from heart. On the contrary, more other factors except for sole feeling will take priority in late marriage because on one in the relationship could afford to play a game again. If you miss the first stage, you will end up stepping into a so-called confusing stage two where both man and woman will believe that they are not getting married for mere marriage and therefore will like to spend time on searching a so-called 'real lover'. In fact, they don't really realise that marriage is not equal to love. A good lover might not be a good husband or wife. Getting a real love in the end might not mean marriage. But most of us still prefer to believe that we are the exceptional ones in the world who could finally find the one who is our lover and also another half. Again, no one knows. Probably we could. If you are affordable for the value of time. Then go for it again. 

If you don't know what the word 'Fear' and 'Envy' mean, you could exactly find the answer by reviewing the things happened recently in France and U.S. 

'Fear' as defined in Cambridge dictionary as 'An unpleasant emotion or thought that you have when you are frightened or worried by something dangerous, painful or bad that is happening or might happen'.

'Envy' as defined as 'The feeling that you wish you had something that someone else has'.
