Last Day

Today is the Last Day of Mr. W with his old company. Many people said that I was so great to support him on his decision. Actually, I think the decision to quit is much more difficult than what I did just to support him. When you think about the high opportunity cost, the burden and the responsibilities, you will know how hard to make the decision to quit the job.

p.s. Resignation at Mr. W's company is so "e" - you can just click a button and fill in 2 simple fields at a system to trigger the process. I did help him to press the button as I "pretended" I was doing for myself. Amazing at the technology?! but it's a bit cold...

Sharp Island

After a few days of noisy holidays, it's time for me to take a break. Every time, when I walked along the seaside at Sai Kung, some people always try to sell me for a boat ride to some near islands. Today, Mr. W and I decided to take a boat to the Sharp Island " 橋咀島".

I haven't been to Sharp Island before. It's quite small but definitely quiet. There was a BBQ area in which only one group of people was having fun. That's cool as you can nearly occupy the whole place for BBQ!

When we arrived there, I guessed it's at low tide as I could see a "sand bridge" to another small island. I tried to cross the sand bridge to look for some lovely fishes (e.g. Nemo?) and maybe coral which is a so-called selling point that attracts me to be here. However, when I was at two-third of my way to another side, the tide was coming over from both side of the sea. We had to return, otherwise, would probably get wet. Thus, I missed the "selling point" and may need to come again though really got nothing to do here.

Christmas BBQ

聖誕節的活動通常以食為大前提，今個聖誕就去了白石BBQ。聞說燒乳豬很好吃，今次終於有機會了，果真名不虛傳，一定要試。

註：決定明年跟家人和親戚朋友再去燒乳豬，即是幾天後... yummy!!!

又到聖誕

今晚我們 Lady's Club 舉行了一年一度的 Christmas Party 暨 Dec Birthday Party。(其實這個 Club 還沒有一個正式的名堂，先讓我想想，經過 Club CEO 的 Approval，再告訴大家。)

節目豐富包括有外賣晚餐，board game，Xmas Cake，交換禮物，及最後的幸運大抽獎。最好的環節莫過於能分辨各人對圖畫的理解及表達能力的 Pictionary 遊戲，值得推介。

正所謂三個女人一個墟，這晚剛好有三個墟，當我們在玩 Pictionary 正進入瘋狂狀態時，聽到有人按門鐘，不用開門就知道是 security 叔叔，可想而知“三個墟” 的威力真不少。

跑步進程 - Dec 11

路程：3.35 miles = ~5.3 km
時間：45 分鐘

註：身處上海，當然在 Hotel 的Club House 跑步機練習

六年後的上海

六年前曾經留在上海約大半年，今天從臨舊地，另有一番感受。

• 淮海路依然很繁榮，比以前更商業化
• 外灘沒什改變，對面的浦東卻多了很多高樓大廈。（有一個像極縮水版的香港會議展覽中心新翼在對岸）
• 食店的價格跟得上香港
• 更多外國人在這裡
• 地鐵路綫多了幾條
• ...

我這幾天的節目安排如下:

12/08 (Thu)：
晚上到以前舊同事的家裏吃飯，跟兩個舊朋友懷緬一下過去。

12/10 (Sat)：
白天從酒店（南京西路）走路到外灘看看，晚上朋友帶我去花園飯店旁的“蘇浙會”吃晚飯。

12/11 (Sun)：
早上去跑步，下午到朋友的大屋參觀，然後到她家附近很地道的小餐館吃水餃+炸醬麵。最後到她朋友的Studio參觀，蠻有特色的，是個非常有“Feel”的好地方。

注: 今次是來公幹，不是來旅遊的。

X 望 where X = ?

" 希望 --> 失望 --> 再燃點希望 --> 繼續失望 "...
這個 loop 到什麽時候會停呢?

我是蠻 positive 的，但始終要面對現實，最後可能會是這樣的...

(失望)^n　--> 絕望　--> 無望　--> 奢望 !!!


p.s.：short term 的期望是明天晚上跟 "同鄉" 的同事在北京的飯局。

北京零下六度

一出機場，冷風撲面而來。羽絨及毛毛頸巾都有齊，最失敗是沒有帶手套。在的士站等了約十分鐘，身體還可以，但雙手好像放了進冰箱一樣!

另：因沒時間，只在香港機場兌換人民幣，兌換率是 0.987。對，沒錯，是少於1，所以只兌換了200 人民幣。

跑步進程 - Dec 3

路程：4.2 km
時間：35 分鐘

註1：沒有跑出街，只在 Club House 跑步機練習

註2：體重有增無減
