良辰美景

畢業已經三年。
當年冇smartphone,所以好少會特登影相。
就算影,都唔係好高quality嘅相。
今日揭一揭yearbook,嘩,所有風景都好familiar,
真係好好好好靚。

(1) Tang Hall 影出去Charles River嘅黃昏….wa >-< 

(2) Simmons Hall 行去Shaws Market嘅必經路軌

其實我都係同一條路軌上面影過相 XD

9:05am收到電話,
9月1號開始新posting~
終於唔駛返quarry bay喇(誤)

感覺都幾surreal,雖然都估到少少
不過都係要收到電話一刻先有「 離地」嘅感覺

友人s有以下comment:

  • 你唔食得辣架播…
  • 你到時唔好日日食杯麵,McDonalds同coke zero喎
  • 你咁懶,你d weekends一定唔會飛返香港….
  • 嗰度d女仔好白身材正(所以..我要有自卑的覺悟嗎?)

當一個uncertainty告終,另一個uncertainty又開始,
到底,我又要做到幾時先可以返到香港?
不過無計,做住先,the dots will eventually connect.

Anyway, a new adventure, why not?

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

– Mark Twain

明天就是放榜日了
in reality沒有score sheet,

Meeting高錕

睡眼惺忪的早晨突然碰上Nobel Prize Winner….

我們竟然會在同一病房相遇,真榮幸(?)。

Btw 其實高教授也曾經在impromptuz出現過:

“我們偶爾互相對望,

為能兩相廝守而感到穩靠,

又恍惚如夢。“ -《 潮平岸闊‧高錕自述》

(天音:咁都係一個post? -.-)


Coincidentally watched “Still Alice” on the same day, a movie on Alzheimer’s disease. Bursted into tears again…wuuu~

Everything I accumulated in life, everything I’ve worked so hard for – now all that is being ripped away. As you can imagine, or as you know, this is hell. But it gets worse. Who can take us seriously when we are so far from who we once were? Our strange behavior and fumbled sentences change other’s perception of us and our perception of ourselves. We become ridiculous, incapable, comic. But this is not who we are, this is our disease.

…But for the time being, I’m still alive. I know I’m alive. I have people I love dearly. I have things I want to do with my life. I rail against myself for not being able to remember things – but I still have moments in the day of pure happiness and joy.

And please do not think that I am suffering. I am not suffering. I am struggling. Struggling to be part of things, to stay connected to whom I was once. So, ‘live in the moment’ I tell myself. It’s really all I can do, live in the moment. And not beat myself up too much… and not beat myself up too much for mastering the art of losing.

The Art of Handshaking in 11 Steps

fbbacbd2d122ae89ae4d296fe07528ba 2

今日見client,同client握握手
「Wow firm grip!好少女仔會咁firm嘅firm grip。」
嚇一嚇 。
「咁,咁請問咩先算係lady grip?哈哈 ^^””」(尷尬)

返到office之後我都淆一淆,
唔通我過往嘅handshaking approach 都錯咗?
唔通強而有力嘅handshake只係「男性限定」?! O__O
於是我就google下…..

  • Women with a firm handshake make a more favorable impression and are judged to be confident and assertive.
  • People with “good” handshakes (firm, web-to-web, calm-to-palm) are evaluated as being extroverted and emotionally expressive.
  • Women with a firm handshake were viewed as more “open”.

Ok then =.=….

Wow 然後發現Forbes係2013年寫過一篇有關 Why Women In Business Should Shake Hands 嘅11小steps。

女士們 (especially經常social就好uptight嘅introverts們)~參考下喇:

  1. Be the first to extend your hand.
  2. Look directly into the other person’s eyes and smile.
  3. Stand when being introduced to someone and when extending your hand.
  4. Make sure your right hand is free to shake hands. Always shift any briefcases, papers, beverages or cell phones to your left hand before you begin the greeting so you handshaking hand is ready for action.
  5. Keep your body squared off to the other person – facing him fully.
  6. Make sure you have palm-to-palm contact and that the web of you hand touches the web of the other person’s. Research with salespeople indicates that if customers don’t get this full palm contact, they wonder what the other person is hiding. If so, they may remain uncomfortable for the rest of the interaction and less likely to purchase.
  7. Offer your hand with your palm facing sideways. When a person offers his hand with the palm faced upwards, it is considered to be a submissive gesture. Conversely, when someone offers his hand with the palm faced downwards (or twists his hand downward during the handshake) it sends a message of superiority. But people who offer a sideways hand to shake send a message of equality and confidence.
  8. Shake hands firmly. Women with a firm handshake make a more favorable impression and are judged to be confident and assertive.
  9. Hold the other person’s hand a few fractions of a second longer than you are naturally inclined to do. This conveys additional sincerity and quite literally “holds” the other person’s attention while you exchange greetings.
  10. Start talking before you let go: “It’s great to meet you” or “I’m so glad to be here.
  11. Make sure that when you break away, you do not look down. (It’s a submissive signal.)
