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.

隨著科技變遷，當下祝賀既方法可以分類如下 (no offense, just for fun!):

• Acquaintances (泛泛之交): 唔係太唔熟的話，就facebook留個言。懶d就寫句”HBD”，過份d既就寫句”happy birthday fiona xoxo“，熟少少就寫“happy birthday!”，而感嘆號數量會隨著交情而增加!!!!
• Friends (朋友仔): send個facebook/whatsapp message，順便catch up一兩句。
• Close Friends / Family (老友記 / 家人):   唔需要fb 個birthday reminder都一定記得你既生日日期啦，點祝賀都無所謂啦！

今日全日24小時都好開心（除左抽唔到iphone個一刻之外），
超級多謝各位既心意同祝福，truly好感動呀。
雖然我依家round up個年齡都就黎30歲啦orz。
（天音：浪漫左一日，星期一準時返工啦。）

Wow..my 7th birthday with impromptuz?! Links below.
24歲 “亂up。24”
23歲 2x歲：生日感言
22歲 “22歲的生日 － 我最瘋狂的錯只是幻想童話的王國”
21歲”史上最摺的生日”
20歲 “holy crap, i’m already..”
19歲 “920 NYC 遊記”

Not until 2 hours before 12 midnight, 我先開始有少少生日既感覺。

24歲最後一個星期，真係突然忙到傻。
一直turbo踩油踩到星期四，我已經無辦法餓住個肚，
再坐地鐵搖搖搖15個車站/ fly taxi 返屋企。
我身體裡面已經無呢個能量quota再比我去commute而唔暈低。

所以作為送比自己既生日禮物，我去左公司附近某間酒店住返晚。
（注：無啦，無猛男陪我啦。）

我一入房就大字型攤係張king size床，呆望住個天花板，
呢個世界好似得返地心吸力同我interact緊。
理得呢一間係尾房，理得呢一間酒店就係殯儀館隔離，
我只係覺得無力啦，我只係想一個人靜靜地充充電。

個一刻我好多謝自己，25歲既我，終於可以不假外求，
可以係最累既時候，reward自己accordingly。

哈哈，其實19歲係紐約玩緊既我，
有無有過a slight thought 25歲生日既情況？

或者到左30歲，我又會look back 25歲既我。

One study found that blogging might trigger dopamine release, similar to the effect from running or listening to music. （so true, its my daily ritual!) 

Not even acceptable standard. 沖涼都要沖快d，行路都要行快d，去洗手間都要去快d，因為一日都唔夠用。

1. 幸好還有歌。當忙到死，就聽首輕鬆既歌。當未訓醒係架火車度搖下搖下，就聽首clubbing歌。越inappropriate越好，可以平衡一下。
2. 喜訊！“運輸及房屋局今公布鐵路策略發展報告書，涉及七個發展計劃，遍及港九新界。” 幸好兩天前才做過infrastructure and railway 的presentation（奸詐mode）
3. 今天回去show flat幫手，happy to get involved again！碰見熟悉的面孔：經紀，secu哥哥姐姐，舊同事。
