I am SUPER happy today…! Feels like I am drunk haahaa
This post is ALL about FREEBIES (equivalent to HKD $3,200).

1) Headshot finally done – super high quality, professional, and for free by my b :D
“Take a nice linkedin photo” has alwaysss been on my to-do list since forever…but I had no motivation to do this at all. Now that my birthday & work anniversary is approaching, I have FINALLY contacted 2-3 professional photographers for quotes…but guess what? They are at least charging HKD $3,000-$5,000!! CEO level meh ?! With my b, it finally happened at a quality wayyy better than I have expected. Thanks so much for my b doing this (b: I have no choice…)

Wearing a jacket on a day at 30 degree Celsius AND keeping a professional (and cheerful, and confident, and humble…) smile was not an easy task at all. Especially when there were mosquitos flying around! (yeep..I got a few bites.)

Here’s my two cents: DON’T go to those professional photographers. DO IT DURING THE SUMMERTIME when green trees are around (so the photo is more lively). FIND your loved ones to take the photos for you, so your facial expression will be more natural :3

2) LUCKY.  $100 HKD coupon 袋住先！

Couldn’t believe what I found in the postal box today! In June, we filled out a comment form in Kornhill CoCo restaurant coz they will give out $100 HKD coupons to those who did (5 winners per month).  I am one of them!!!! >W< yeah yeah yeah

3) $100 HKD promo code, fully used :D

Finally finally finally, my very first Uber ride from Mid-Levels West to Admiralty.
The ride itself ? $109 HKD. The coupon? $100 HKD. I spent? $9 HKD.
Feels good to have a Benz S-Class 350 picking me up from Mid-Levels yooo.
(Yes, I worked there this evening…orz)

八月一日，突如其來的衝勁 ： 我要把這暑假活得精彩！

把因為惰性而想說“no”的invitation，都通通說“yes” （還要是興奮地yes！！）
把不想早起的inertia推掉，把weekend的節目鋪排得更緊密。
把”too many words, didnt read”的文章，都仔細讀完。
簡單來說，就是把生活角色由”被動”變成”主動”，於是，我做到了。
我找回了學生時代“暑假”這兩個字背後的興奮心情。
Feels good!

得益是：make了很多valuable的conversations，吸收了很多新知識，整個月都異常productive （非工作上的productivity）。

おかげさまで、我的“冷知識”小記事本，這個月多了兩頁new items。
由startup incubator, parallax scrolling, 到金九銀十，樓市限購令，
邋邋雜雜的topics，但全都挺有趣的。
有時真要多謝公司的work life balance，otherwise我都無時間（or 咁無聊）去explore各式各樣的範疇。

25歲的女人都應該忙著manicure pedicure，
但我卻奔走醫務所，忙著body check，physiotherapy，weight & diet control。
from head to toe，都唔知道顧得變樣先。

話説呢兩年每一日都會”lun” 地產版, d articles既開端來來去去都離不開以下呢幾句…

– 新一輪新盤大混戰一觸即發!!

– 開售如箭在弦!!

– 發展商以快打慢推盤!!

– 新盤再醞釀混戰!! 銷情熱烈!!

我都幾肯定d記者係有個小字典, 隨時可以copy and paste.

• 25 Ways To Distinguish Yourself
  http://changethis.com/manifesto/17.25WaystoDistinguish/pdf/17.25WaystoDistinguish.pdf
  25 very simple points..but always good to have a read from time to time!
  “Most of us need a big victory to celebrate but a very small failure to get upset. In other words, we need really strong reasons to celebrate but not a lot of justification to get upset. In fact, sometimes we are upset for no reason. :)”

• 公司training入面講到，humor幽默感都係一個leader應具備元素。
  雖然humor比起其他qualities可能無咁重要，但我覺得一個有適當幽默感既領袖自然會散發魅力。呢個quality，對於成日都緊張認真mode既我來講，實在太難acquire啦 >_<
• err，我開始左一個12日既beginner yoga training（跟個ipad app去做），你估我我完唔完成到？開始左兩日。*doubt*

第三次睇Good Will Hunting.
記性差既好處：睇過嘅戲可以忘記得七七八八，所以新鮮感依然。
記性差既壞處：我好想去remind返自己，唔同階段既f10n1睇同一套戲時（or 同一本書 or 同一隻歌）會有咩唔同既體會？

於是我search下呢個blog有無寫過有關 “Good Will Hunting”，竟然係no result…
我到底係幾時睇架呢？

我只係依稀記得，到”It’s not your fault”既scene，當年嘅我（唔知邊年lu..) 係喊到收唔到聲。
但今日既我睇返呢一幕，無喊之餘，而且只係覺得Matt Damon真係好好戲。

最打動我嘅對白 反而係呢一句，
“I just have a little question here. You could be a janitor anywhere. Why did you work at the most prestigious technical college in the whole fkin’ world? “
真係慚愧不已。I did spend 4 years at this most prestigious technical college in the whole world…what am I doing now?!

最近有睇tvb”沒女”。我其實同d 沒女差唔多，無資格笑人地。唔好話d introvert內向呀慢熱個d特質啦，我已經accept and embrace左呢樣野好耐。但其他惡習，例如乜都得個“講”字，懶到死，無勇氣無堅持，借口多多，難得有衝動去行動時又得三分鐘熱度。inertia大到翻個身訓都懶。sigh. 但其實我覺得我已經比day 1 出黎做野時進步左架啦 （o拿，你又黎一個藉口啦。）

以前朋友們識男仔會先assess下對方既高度五官，依家？睇下有無結婚戒指先。

有人問點解要係social media高調放男朋友d相出黎，萬一有咩冬瓜豆腐，會好尷尬架嘛！
well。有位朋友有好多狂花浪蝶，問我如何是好。（個朋友唔係我呀下）
我話，戴你個訂婚戒指出黎咪得咯，立刻無market可言啦，但你又唔肯戴。
如果係尊重對方，點解要隱瞞？
