(Disclaimer: Yes, I know I am being irrelevant or even somewhat inappropriate here talking about iPhone 6 resale. I know it is an emotional time for everyone…hope this post = “little mental break”!)

感想：iphone一到手，即刻換衫出門口。今日個價好靚，呢d海鮮價可以好波動，唔想再等啦。我好小心咁將個iphone放入背囊，再將背囊孭係前面，如果依家先跌爛就催淚啦。收賣人s開價個range由$7,300到$7,500，最後bargain到$7,600已經收貨。

但其實，我開心既情緒好快已經消失左。眼見到我土生土長既地方搞到咁，真係雀躍不來。

Too much information flying around
Shame on those who made up fake news to trigger even more chaos.
Shame on those (including myself) who spread things around without even verifying them.

The government had many opportunities to stand firm on their view without humiliating themselves, but they failed every time.

It reminds me of Stanford Prison Experiment…you will be “absorbed” in the atmosphere.
In SPE, the “prison guards” are given sunglasses to avoid eye contact / hidden identity & batons to establish a sense of status. After that, even a normal experiment participant would become disorientated and loss their mind.I am sure not all polices are evil, but when you are placed in that kind of situation, you may become distorted in some sense…

It’s interesting to compare the differences between TVB and NOW / Cable TV news ….on their camera angle, selection of video clips, use of words and phrasing.

Was about to write a 潮文: 那夜，我在conrad搞婚禮。

得知有acapella audition後，小女子立刻（臨急抱佛腳地）裝備自己，
學左一個月唱歌。
點知，今日audition竟然會lor到喊－＿＿－“ 前功盡廢。sigh

話說，面試分開三部分：
1） 體態
一班人要一齊拉筋。一邊拉，竟然有人一邊打分。
有無搞錯呀？我呢d，十年都唔做一次運動既人，擺明係全場最唔flexible個個。
呢part一定R.I.P.
2） Acapella
唱返Alto，唱左兩年，呢part應該無問題。ok~過骨。
3） 獨唱
因為要眾目睽睽spotlight底下(Yes LITERALLY a spotlight)
唱我既愛曲beyond海闊天空，
我十個緊張
突然一開口就高左幾個key做first key (!!!! ##$%@*)
但當時覺得for the sake of performance，博一博啦嗚嗚。
最後真係走音，哈哈哈哈。好傷心呀，千年道行一朝喪。

我等左呢個event好耐架啦，竟然黎個大撻Q。
不過audition係公平既，大家只會base on你當時1分鐘既表演去評分，
理得你係緊張定咩原因呀 :(  無計啦，人生就係咁架啦，邊有咁順利。

3.5) Beatbox
最後出現左silver lining！因為評判突然問有無人識beatbox。
竟然全場得我一個識！！yoyoyoyo
（張家x，你一個暑假自學既beatbox終於大派用場啦！）
“你識唔識beatbox？”
“識少少。”
“姐係識唔識jek。。”
“初學。”
然後要即場imitate個評判一段beatbox，好彩都okay！
希望可以hedge下我其他既災難性演出啦。

唉。有時呢d野，
你特別想要時，反而就會無。

完。

just went through a 2-day negotiation workshop, the most interesting trading session so far!!

Our negotiations are videotaped and we all re-watched & analysed together!

– Negotiations on value distribution and value creation are indeed very different.

– If you try to be fair and honest, you will be exploited.

– tough is not nasty, firm is not necessarily rude.

Just one thing, for 2 years, a repeated “weakness” appearing on my 360 feedback is about confidence & eloquence , esp under discomfort / confrontation. Hmm~ really gotta work on it!

Recently I’m on physiotherapy (yup, as you could tell from my age now), and the yoga resting pose is on the exercise list! My heart is absolutely tranquil when I literally folded myself up.

Btw, great thanks to bro and Vicky for the physio-seating support! Really need those!

I started my MOOC course on Designing Cities and I love it! I love the well designed videos filled with lots of graphics. Now I know why I don’t like my MSc course that much…it’s all text!!! I am a visual learner.

(Btw. Read a random quote from fb “a creative mind is like having 324,982 tabs opened on a browser at the same time”. Yup. esp. during shower time.

When I had a few things in mind during shower, e.g. Use dental floss, check company email, call HSBC hotline. I will imagine a tower-size dental floss standing next to HSBC headquarter, and a Microsoft Outlook layout as the sky background. Thanks bro for teaching me this visual method to weave random thoughts up – exaggerate and put all items into a single image / image flow.)

I am on a 3-day negotiator training right now. It taught us “non-use of fairness” and “make a statement instead of a question”. It is highly applicable to me because recently I have to assign tasks to my peer, who is also my good friend. I know he has his time constraint, but I have mine too (that’s why we have to collaborate!). It’s hard to play sympathy here / talk about friendship… Really have to get the job done!!!

Anyway, goodnight folks.
