“Question: how can one manage not to lose time? Answer: experience it at its full length. Means: spend days in the dentist’s waiting room in an uncomfortable chair; listen to lectures in a language that one does not understand, …” – ‘The Plague’ Albert Camus

TBH, i don’t enjoy this summer at all.
(a) the heat could instantly melt me down
(b) got plugged by an energy drain , namely internship, in weekdays
(c) and many of my friends are going through (b)
(d) with that said, all fun-fun-fun 86’d.

but one good thing is that,
on top of usual singk-movie-shopping-gatherings,
I’ve got quality time in solace of thoughtful solitude.

Not that I am losing the human touch,
but sometimes I tend to value the hums of aircon and compu
over the meaningless gags and fake burst of laughter.

today is tomorrow’s yesterday.
today is 30-years-later’s 30-years-ago.
today is 2000-years-later’s 2000-years-ago.
I’m living in history, and an eyewitness to history,
a point at the infinite time-line of mankind.
What I do today is for the 60-years-old to look back.
then I will proudly tell my children without regrets
what I have been doing in 2009, or 2012, or 1995.

this thought dashed through my mind when I was in TW KCR station,
after hundred years, will it become a 古蹟? or, will IFC appear
in documentaries, with people wearing ‘old-fashioned’ clothes
as we see the 1960s people now?

People said studying in Ivy Leagues =/= cream of the crop
it only means your will be at high priority during HR job screening.
oh well, career is not the one and only thing that matters right?
Now I really think 求學是求學,
wht u’ve learnt and how much u’ve grown matter way more.

(Im ashamed to hv lost the ability to write long paragraphs,
[tin yum: sadly it won’t make you a Ballad writer, ..well, you wish..]
I truly love how people write blogs so beautifully, unlike mine, duh.)

“Hm, I do lie a lot. To myself and to others. At the end of the day, though, there’s no objective truth and everything we say are partial lies in one way or the other because language itself is an imperfect representation of concepts. Gee I sound so pretentious.” hedy

maybe bro is right that
the purpose of this  ibank experience is  just to
justify that ibank is really not my cup of tea.
(though cant deny that I’ve learnt a lot too)

at the same time, showing others that
not that Im not capable or too fai to do ibank in the future,
just that I’ve worked in this ‘dream’ workplace since Day 1,
and i dont give a duck.

and after discovering wht the life at a prestigious bank is like,
I can relax and indulge into my own engineering research
without any regrets instead of saying
‘omg i should hv study finance!!! ibank ppl r so cool!’

knowing that the real front-office ppl hv to work 150 hours per week,
u know what? I would really rather sleep all day
or marry to richard li like isabella (if i’ve got this luck..==)
quality of life number 1.
(dilemma: but with those crazy bonuses,
I can retire early and have wud gay quality of life for many years!!)

today dad asked me what I want to be after graduation
I really don’t know, no kidding.

but my boss said to survive in HK
u could only work at FI (financial institution)
he’s got a point..but…

ai =(  so i guess probably
government / consulting / japanese-related

but so far at halfway,  ..generally speaking…
1) scale and scope of an reputational investment bank, integrity is very important
2) applicable to all businesses, profit ( or loss) and clients are the ultimate bosses
3) with that said, efficiency , quality and quantity must be at best level
4) i.e. maximum output in minimum time/resource

At his final stage appearance,
abounded with eulogies and cheers,
the emotional farewell of the KOP finally
concluded with a lone spotlight shone on a darkened, empty stage.

At 4am, I couldn’t possibly hold my tears anymore
at the memorial’s emotional high point ———-
Paris’s unscripted and poignant sharing.

This heartfelt remark has not only humanized the iconic figure
but also reminded us that, after all,
it is a family farewell, a family loss, a very personal loss.

At all at once, he is no longer the god-like trailblazer
but a loving father, brother and son.
No heart ached as much as the Jackson’s family.
How brave they are to put up this public farewell.

Who would have even guessed the rehearsal auditorium
would become the memorial place after 1 weektime?
The same guy was rocking on stage with his moonwalk,
the same guy was here resting inside the casket
going on stage one last time?

“Icon, was only a fraction of what he was”
In Remembrance.

坐兩座平治跑車還是第一次
如果我現在讀医，
我自己都可以這樣啦
（天音：基本上連學車的打算也沒有）
算啦，安分做一個工程師吧！！

還有，公司的允浩學長是結婚的啦！
我早就猜到他是有家室的說。
算啦，安分等運到吧！！
