Thursday.

Finally realizing the fact that file is never ending in my office...

Why dont I take a slow pace?

Anyhow... I need to stay till late to complete my files, I shall keep my mental state positively to fight.

=

Went for a jog at deep water bay at noon.... awesome run.

=

Learnt that you're still sick despite of the medical intervention, will certainly keep you in prayers.

Be well tomorrow and a good show at the presentation.

=

Dinner with Horace tonight...

It's been great taking a break amid the busy work.

Daniel Wu VS Leo Koo?

Husband VS Playboy?

Who will I be?

Basic Law of Work.

If you can't get your work done in the first 24 hours, work nights.

A pat on the back is only a few centimeters from a kick in the butt.

Don't be irreplaceable, if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.

It doesn't matter what you do, it only matters what you say you've done and what you're going to do.

After any salary raise, you will have less money at the end of the month than you did before.

The more crap you put up with, the more crap you are going to get.

You can go anywhere you want if you look serious and carry a clipboard.

Eat one live toad the first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.

When the bosses talk about improving productivity, they are never talking about themselves.

If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.

There will always be beer cans rolling on the floor of your car when the boss asks for a ride home from the office.

Keep your boss's boss off your boss's back.

Everything can be filed under "miscellaneous".

Never delay the ending of a meeting or the beginning of a cocktail hour.

To err is human, to forgive is not our policy.

Anyone can do any amount of work provided it isn't the work he/she is supposed to be doing.

Important letters that contain no errors will develop errors in the mail.

If you are good, you will be assigned all the work. If you are really good, you will get out of it.

You are always doing something marginal when the boss drops by your desk.

People who go to conferences are the ones who shouldn't.

If it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would get done.

At work, the authority of a person is inversely proportional to the number of pens that person is carrying.

When you don't know what to do, walk fast and look worried.

Following the rules will not get the job done.

Getting the job done is no excuse for not following the rules.

When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question, "How would the Lone Ranger handle this?"

No matter how much you do, you never do enough.

The last person that quit or was fired will be held responsible for everything that goes wrong.

Work...

Was in quite a bad mood lately...

Seems like... I've worked for so long... but still... I was overwhelmed by work...

I just dont want to give a damn anymore.

CHANGE, is what I needed.

孫燕姿 - 追

Birthday week.

It's been a good birthday celebration holiday.

So much eating and drinking and birthday cakes...

=

22nd.

Mood still got a bit affected by the 'busy for nothing' operation the night before...

I slept past noon before heading out for tea in Mong Kok with Nicky. Thanks so much for the present.... they're lovely.

Dinner with Sam and Alvin and Co at the French Table... a nice place to be... the wines we bought were good too...

It's been a good night.

=

23rd.

Travel all the way to Fanling for BBQ.

It's good to spend time with babies and animals...

Night spent with family for dinner...

Had a drink with uncles at the posh place...

Am I really not suited to being a employee?

If chances arouse, I will definitely take it.

P.S. Thanks everyone for the blessings.

=

24th.

A day to remember.

A lovely day at Cheung Chau.

Happiness can be simple... nice scene, nice people...

Everything was perfect.

More of the same happiness in the future?

Egyptian food at Habibi Cafe.... and the dessert was lovely.

What more can I ask for?

=

25th.

Feeling I was getting old.

Been up in the morning to play wargame...

And an afternoon tea with Jeff.....

I felt so tired now...

Really, I am not young.

=

Heard you're sick today. Sleep more and get well soon.

Trip to Macau and the week before birthday.

Brother is now back in Hong Kong, and the family went to Macau for a short trip on Sunday and Monday.

It's been a while the family travel together.

Macau was good, lots of good food. Portugese cuisine, traditional guang tung dishes, and the snacks too.

It's a good eating trip. The hotel was reasonable too. I wished to buy a set of similar bed and curtain at home, where I can easily sleep till noon at my desire.

P. S. Liverpool miraculously draw 1-1 in the dying minutes against Arsenal... certainly that made my day.

=

Life saps back to reality in a hard way on Tuesday. the work week before birthday was bad, real bad.

Busy for nothing...

So many files... some even not under my charter... Damn.

Had my first annual report... It's all nothing but a game of grade and numbers... I really shouldn't have worked as hard if I know my grades beforehand. I should have gave you my "deserved C grade output" to you.

=

Was in the middle of power struggle, again... The bosses were all in bad mood and so did I, the only difference being I won't vent my anger against the innocence...

My whole week had been focused on the operation on Thursday...

Meand my team spent so many hours preparing for it.... only to find out it got called off the last minute as they don't give a shit. Why can't they have the guts to say beforehand... any idea how much resources was wasted on that? Just really pissed.

I felt downhearted about the bosses and the job.

I think it's really time to seek for different path.

Anyway, it's a good 4 days Easter holiday and I am not going to let such things affect my mood.

Quote from 王迪詩 - 蘭開夏道

"男人是很犯殘的,你經常available,他們就會對你愛理不理。但要是你永遠unavailable,他們就會費事麻煩。所以,女人的availability 必須控制在似有還無之間。 好禪。"

Spot on.

A change of luck?

Got a bit of progress in work today.

Seems like everything that I was worried about previously just got settled in one single day.

The outstanding files got cleared up.

Operation got approved... man power was no longer an issue...

Though there are still a few glitches (eg. next team's crazy boss).... But I still felt thankful.

=

I'm taking Monday off.... shall head to Macau with family.

Shall be a fun trip...

=

Life is full of surprises...

If you ran into someone whilst aboard, how do you call it?

Coincidence? Or more than that?

Anyway... I look forward to the trip.

Thursday.

Losing track of time...

It's almost the end of the week.... what have I done?

=

Today was rather ordinary at work.... just like everyday.

I got my mind on the Safety Risk Assessment the whole morning.... since when did that became my charter?

Finally... I can see my actual outstanding workload... provided that no new stuff got to my intray as of now...

Scary.

=

Lunch went out with the Admin Wing for lunch.... a PC is transferring to Chai Wan for good...

All the best.

=

I was almost late for my handgun qualification exam... compounded with the fact that today was the first time I did the exam in plain-clothes.... i'm rather headless....

But thankfully, shooting is about muscle memory instead of the outcome of cognitive procedure.

47 out of 48, with one shot intentionally hit above head.

I'm satisfied with the result...

It's so good to shoot once in a while.... it relieve a lot of stress.

=

Going back for a bit of file work and my team went out for dinner....

I hope this become a culture in my team...

Ideas get across so much quicker...

And it's through such gathering our relationship got built up...

The only drawback is that my waist seems to grow incessantly... time to get hold of myself.

=

Jo presented me with a big surprise tonight...

Thanks so much~

I look forward to seeing you and Garfield's new flat~

=

So tired now... I keep my fingers crossed tomorrow will be a good day.

Time for a joke.

This is a good one. LMAO.

A man goes to the doctors and says, "Doctor, I've got this problem you see, only you've got to promise not to laugh."

The doctor replies, "Of course I won't laugh, that would be thoroughly unprofessional. In over twenty years of being a doctor I've never laughed at a patient."

"OK then," says the man, and he drops his trousers. The doctor is greeted by the sight of the tiniest penis he has ever seen in his life. Unable to control himself, he falls about laughing on the floor.

Ten minutes later he is able to struggle up to his feet and wipe the tears from his eyes, "I'm so sorry," he says to the patient, "I don't know what came over me, I won't let it happen again. Now what seems to be the problem?"

The man looks up at the doctor sadly and says, "It's swollen."

Missed opportunities.

Another work day had passed...

Seems to have a bit of progress in the morning...

Only to learn by afternoon that was a mirage...

Still.... procastinating about some of my files...

Damn.

=

Felt especially bad when all my bosses are cruel and selfish.

Work itself is nothing.... it's the politics that complicates the matter.

It's quite like before...

Had a calling that this environment is not suitable for me.

Time to go, again?

=

Human skull found in Aberdeen?

It'd be a fascinating case.... if you're not cracking open someone's grave and grab her head out...

But still... might need to compile a file on it...

=

I hate missed opportunities...

Life could have been so much different... if I picked up the phone earlier...

Will I have a second chance?



Patience.

單身男女 trailer

Movie day.

Not good...

I now realize the problem of files piling up was not because of workload itself.... but the fact that I couldnt concentrate on my task in hand...

Why am I distracted so easily? And why do I need so long in order to shift my attention back??

Damn.

Probably it's all about procastination.... about the 'bad atmosphere' that my boss created...

Why on earth am I writing a long minutes just to explain something trival? Just to entertain you?

Grow up. What would you do on my side?

It seems people always forgot how it is like to be bullied... supressed.

=

Got off on time today for a movie, "單身男女".

Quite a light-hearted movie... but with some enlightenment too...

1. Women love bad guys.

2. Women lied... even to their hearts.

3. Some men just dont change character.

All in all... it's a simple and average movie... a "B-"?

=

Do I know you?

Yes, and no.

But given the chance, I'll choose the former.

Tuesday, April 12, 2011

Lazy Monday.

Monday... it's the start of another week of torturous work.

My post is so horrible... working busily the whole day without knowing what I've out-putted....

All I know is that I've got files after files piled up....

And worse still.... I've got no intention to clear them...

=

Dunno why I feel sad today...

No particular reason.... sentiment?

=

Glad to know you've found time for travel.

Enjoy.

Do something that you're truly happy with.

=

My plan for movie failed today...

Will I have better luck tomorrow?

Feeling SOHO weekend.

Really.... it's been a good, if not excellent weekend.

Started my Saturday greatly. Lunch with my food buddy Horace, at Outback for a full steak and prawns lunch...

As always, when the two of us get together, laughters always explode...

It's great to meet up with friend once in a while.

=

A short nap and a TV break at home...

Then head out to POC for gym with my brother...

Gym is good... but I'm getting weak...

=

Dinner with Bro and his girlfriend at "Wong Ka Sha"...

Nice chat... it's really been some while since we two chatted.

One thing of surprise though... She's a Maryknoller? That's something I didnt expect...

=

Before meeting friends for a quick drink at night, I found Jo and Garfield for a short chat at Jo's clinic...

When was the last time I perform any dental work? I'm glad I still have a sense for it...

Implications?

I probably wont starve working as a dentist... but is this what I wanted?

=

Go join the two lovely ladies who joined a fun activity (I vowed not to say) tonight...

It's good to hear they think so highly of me... maybe I'll join them next time :P

Great night spent at Inside Out, causeway bay.

=

Good night sleep before heading out to visit "King Yin Lei" at 45 Stubbs Road...

Interesting building... I bet if I were an architectural major I'd love that place a lot.... but even without any knowledge.... the view was simply magnificent....

Had a lovely afternoon tea with friends in Times Square....

What a lazy weekend.

=

Felt I'm fully recharged.... but how long my positive emotions can last in a demanding work environment?

Let's see~

True... even across species.

Friday and refreshing sleep.

Friday...

Gosh... How come my productivity dropped so much lately?

On the good side, I now treat my files more seriously.... fewer glitches and trivial mistakes now....

But on the bad side.... the files stays in my intray for long time (if not too long that I missed the bring-up date)....

What must I do?

Ran into grandma tonight...

It's good to see her.

Had a wonderful sleep last night...

It's been so long I had an uninterrupted sleep for 10 hours...

This morning is like..... refreshed.

Talking Twin Babies.



Da da da da da da da da...

It's funny seeing how the two interact.

Perfect example for Non-verbal communication?

Interested in writing a paper on it?

Rest and non-stop working.

It's been a while again... not because I was lazy, but things were just too complicated for me to handle at work.

Monday. I hardly recall what have been done on that day, what magic work brings... amnesia?

But I am sure as hell it's a tough day...

Cause I was so fast asleep on Tuesday, the public holiday...

Nothing done... just web browsing, reading and game...

A good time for break... too bad my friend was ill or we can go to shum zhen for massage...

Wednesday, all bell broke lose day.

Last minute "pre-planned" operation on Friday? Where can the magician take out the marked money, search warrant and op order from the sleeve?

Work and more work...

I only leave office by 3 am...

Thursday, pop up in court first thing in the morning. Applied for the first search warrant of my police career... more is yet to come, I am sure.

Assisted the court prosecutor in an illegal selling of liquor case... This will be one long trial... adjourned till august for first plea.

Feeling so bad the whole day as I was deprived from sleep... worse still, the operation that I have been working on the whole night got cancelled... just because the boss don't want to work this weekend? What the?

C'est la vive.

Bro is back in Hong Kong... It's good chance to catch up.

P.S. Kids are troublesome but adorable... Will you teach me how to handle them?

April Fool's Friday and a fruitful weekend.

Friday.... hectic day at work...

Seems like all deadline falls on the same day...

Received a heavy bollocking from boss the first thing in the morning.

Lazy is the term used to describe me? What have I done to instil such image?

Damn... but it's just work.

=

Friday afterwork was a bit better.

A casual dinner with Angie and Winnie... sometimes, a gathering like this can really recharge a person.

=

Saturday... woke up my the renovation upstairs.... why on earth do they need to work every saturday? It's the n consecutive saturday I've been cursing on the noise...

That's classic mental abuse, civil ligitation shall be my next move.

Saturday afternoon spent in Jackie and Doll's place in Tsuen Wan, together with all the 14/F brothers...

Mahjong, Football, Movie, Songs, PS3, Snacks and dinner.... it's so much like pantry in hall......

Really, those were the days.

=

Saturday night was engaged with more friend's gathering. Sally, Kathy and James @ Maiden Row, TST.

When was the last time we had such heart-to-heart chat? The good, evil, pretty and ugly all spilt without reservation.

Sometimes, these people know me better than myself.

It's a sleepless night.... but it's a joyful one.

=

Left a status that draw some great comments from friends...

I appreciate every word of yours. When I felt exhausted and helpless, you guys always remind me of the fundamentals - Passion.

I think I can find my own right way.

=

Sunday, driving sunday.

My sunday was a bit random...

Facing the unexpected, doing the unfamiliarized.... but the feeling was good.

Drove all the way from Mong Kok to Tsuen Wan to Shum Cheng and finally in gold coast...

A good dinner.

It's such an eye opening experience...

I am quite fond of driving too.

=

If tomorrow is the last day of you life, will you regret any part of your life?

Based on this weekend... a definite no.

Time to sleep now, till later.

Post-holiday.

Heaven and Hell...

The five days trip to Shanghai and neighbouring cities was great.

It's quite scenic...

Shanghai is a place with great potential (though on the human resources part, it still have 10 or more years to catch up with Hong Kong)...

But seeing the development of Pudong and Pusai.... with all the land available for expension, you'll know... it's destined for great things.

The food in Shanghai was quite good, especially the "Shiu Lung Bao"

It's always fun staying in good hotel room... and I got the chance to squeeze in a few gym sessions in the well equipped gym room of most hotel, that's a great bonus.

Shame I didnt meet the real Shanghai babes.... but still, I manage to find a babe in Shanghai... that's totally unexpected.

Equally unexpected was that I seems to have colleague everywhere I go.... Is my company really this big?

=

Work after holiday was always bad....

Compounded by the fact that my big boss was having a bad mood... that double the pain.

A bit stressed regarding the future... I must not crumble under this stress...

All the best.

Big boss suspects there was a mole within my team who kept leaking information... Objectively, something is more than mere conincidence.... but subjectively, I trusted my man with my life... why should I keep things from them?

It's such a big headache.

=

So busy today... went for driving lesson right after work...

It's fun.... but again, it's so dangerous.

=

So sleepy now.... I must switch my biological clock back to normal soon...

Rebecca Black - Friday



It's regarded as the worst song ever... for the right reason.
