Ex of The Ex

Could you be friends with your Ex- boyfriends/ Ex- girlfriends?

Life is interesting, there's no forever friends nor enemies.

As social media gets our relationships exposed to the internet, and tells us the mutual connections we have, the world becomes smaller. With Linkedin, Twitter, and Facebook, you could even come across your ex's Ex. You could start chit chating with them if you are bold enough and if you like it. Somehow, you may find a friend that is similar to you because your ex probably chooses you because you're similar type as his/her ex. That's why life is a circle, it connects us all.

I am an easy going and open minded person, so I don't refuse being friends with anyone. Anyone could inspire me in some way and I appreciate that. I am honest to myself and my feelings, and if something doesn't feel right, I probably won't do it. After all, it all comes to our own peace, happiness, and perceptions towards life.  

Love yourself first before you know how to love others. Don't torture yourselves with negative emotions.

Treat yourself nicely and pursue your passions, then good luck, opening gates, and positive energy will come to you.

While ginger is slightly warm, the function is to disperse cold and warm the stomach. Therefore, the ginger juice hits the milk to eat in cold weather, and it feels warm and warm, which can be said to be ingeniously coordinated. 鮮奶燉蛋比例 薑汁冰花燉蛋 焦糖燉蛋 燉奶 作法 凍 燉 蛋 豆奶 燉 蛋 越 煮 越 好 薑 汁 撞奶 燉蛋 蒸蛋 蒸 焗 爐 燉 蛋 egg pudding boba caramel egg pudding recipe egg pudding vs flan egg pudding recipe in microwave egg pudding pakistani recipe egg pudding with condensed milk bread pudding egg pudding recipe malayalam Other fun videos 其他有趣的视频: 薑汁湯圓簡單做法（高清粤語）| How to Make Sweet Glutinous Rice Balls (HD Eng CC) https://youtu.be/NP00GHw8EBQ 美國六月生活實錄！（高清粤語）| USA Life (HD Eng CC) https://youtu.be/tWk3K9oQIvg HIDDEN GEM of Los Angeles [Eng CC] | 洛城的瓦塔藝術 【粤语】: https://youtu.be/0Ezjz3yRL-g #MOST MAGICAL E.T.

Wisdom of Education

photo by YuMan

At the parent meeting, the teacher did these four questions on the blackboard:

2 + 2 = 4

4 + 4 = 8

8 + 8 = 16

9 + 9 = 20

Parents said: "You miscalculated."

The teacher turned around and said slowly: "Yes, everyone sees clearly, this question is wrong. But I have counted three questions correctly, why no one praised me, but just saw me The wrong one! "

The teacher then said meaningfully: "Parents, the true meaning of education is not to discover the mistakes of children, but to appreciate what they did right."

Comprehension:

The same is true of being a human. You treat him/her nicely for a hundred times, maybe he/she has forgotten; once he/she is unsatisfactory, he/she may obliterate everything!

This is the humanity principle of 100-1 = 0.

This is true between friends, as well as between relatives and families.

This topic is mentioned today in order to make friendship last forever and affection forever.

Take a step back among friends, and make a step higher among loved ones.

Thanks to the grace of dripping water, one should return a fountain of water.

This is the truth of life.

This is true for children, as well as adults.

Waking Up

photo by Lilly

Some people might hope that, in their own lives, someone would appear like a lamp who can give one or two advises of guidance to them about life.

After experiencing the ups and downs of life, I discovered that much of the wisdom of life is actually hidden in the bits and pieces of life.

If the rooster calls the sky, it will shine. If the rooster does not call the sky, it will still shine. The key is not if the rooster has called the sky to shine, the key is that who has waken up from the call. 

When one wakes up, a day is passed; when one does not wake up, a whole life is passed.

Comprehension:

Waking up every day is a new life.

Living healthy is the most important and happiest thing in the world.

Take advantage of the sunshine, go out for a walk! The grass, the trees, the flowers and the birds in this world are all beautiful. Don't let this wonderful time pass.

An Inspiring Short Story of Fox

A fox found a nest of chickens and the fox was too fat to drill in, so he was hungry for three days and finally entered.

After a full meal, he couldn't get out because he’s too fat, so he had to be hungry again for three days to get out. Finally he lamented that he made himself busy due to being addicted in the process of munching.

Comprehension:

Isn't life like this?

When the stripe comes, the stripe goes, we come to the world naked and will leave world naked as well. No one can take away the wealth and merits of a lifetime of business.

It is difficult to buy back youth with the money made by youth;

It is difficult to buy back the life with the money earned by life;

It is difficult to buy back time with the money earned with time;

Even if you use your life to get the money of the world, you can't buy your life with the money of the world

Therefore, it is important to learn to rest and be happy. 

Pandemic

Life is funny. Recently I have found a poem which is really inspiring, would like to share with you all:

We fell asleep in one world. and woke up in another.

Suddenly Disney is out of magic,
Paris is no longer romantic,
New York doesn't stand up anymore,
the Chinese Great Wall is no longer a fortress,
and Mecca is empty.

Hugs and Kisses suddenly become weapons, and not visiting parents and friends becomes an act of love.

Suddenly you realize that power, beauty, and money are worthless,
and cannot get you the oxygen you're fighting for.

The world continues its life and it is beautiful.
It only puts human in cages.
I think it's sending us a message:
"Human, you are not necessary.
The air, earth, water, and sky without you are just fine.
When you come back,
remember that Avocado Toast (a millennial popular food) is optional. Not a requirement."

-----Zachary Laid Finding Freedom


My thought: It's easy for nature to claim her territory back without human interference. We should take this pandemic as a warning to treat the Earth better and realize that nothing is more important than our health. Thanks to this virus, I could enjoy the city without heavy traffic due to temporary shut down of businesses, the cleaner air we could breathe now due to less industrial activities, the wfh lifestyle and new business opportunities. I saw that homeless people are finally taken care of by the city leaders and broken roads are finally getting repaired. Humanity is evolving with the help of technology and this virus. Anyways, I always believe in positivism, crisis creates opportunities! Cheer up, my friends!

Don’t be afraid to trust

When you find someone you want to believe and love wholeheartedly, go for it. I’m not saying that you don’t do due diligence. Do your due diligence and trust 100%. At the end of the day, you got nothing to lose. If the person proves that himself/herself worth your trust, you win; if not, you still win, because you have given love to the person without expecting any rewards. That’s the highest practice for love. If that trust costs some money, then so be it, money is nothing but a tool, depending on how we use it. The goal is feeling happy and healthy!

Story Tellers

There’re always two sides of a story so be more understanding and less judgmental.
The purpose of life is to fully extend our potentials and have as few regrets as possible!

Positive thinking

Life is all about making positive impacts!

Maturity

Maturity is the ability to accept ambiguity and to postpone gratification - quoted from Sigmund Freud @ Kantaro Sweet tooth Salary Man :)

真相 Truth

(Chinese/English Below)

我身邊的人們總説看世糊塗一點，你就會快樂一點。這是真的嗎？

我是個對機會說好及對真相好奇的人。要裝傻實在需要360度的高智能。精明變成我的習慣，在香港這繁忙城市長大的我絕對不是一個懞懂的女孩。初中從同學們的人際關係中已知社會品流複雜多變。努力半工半讀的我也年紀輕輕打過超出十五份工，工作交際能力中等，感情及閲人經歷不淺。我喜歡新鮮事物，但也重視留在自己身邊的人事物。

真相可能是殘酷的，但我寧願知多，好過知少。「死心塌地」去對一樣野或一個人已不是潮流，這個世代訊息萬變，我們已無形地不忠。正因如此，忠誠善良更顯可貴，信任更需要勇氣了。在這世代生存，有時我也不經不覺地成了木頭娃娃或機器人，需要改變去讓自己變得不麻木。

每一刻我都努力地在了解自己，捉摸自己的心思，善待自己。只有如此，我才懂怎樣愛更多的人及這個世界。

寫這個專欄是為了記下自己的感悟，也希望跟我有緣的你會明白我多一些。感恩合十!

People around me always say that if you look at reality through blurry lens, you will be happier. is this true?

I am a person who says yes to opportunities and is curious about the truth. It takes 360 degrees of high intelligence to pretend to be stupid. Smartness has become my habit. I grew up in a busy city like Hong Kong, and I am definitely not a girl who does not understand reality. Since middle school, I realized society and interpersonal relationships are complicated and changeable. It is known as social quality. I studied hard and worked part-time. I had worked more than fifteen different jobs at a young age. I have moderate communication skills, and I have moderate experiences regarding relationships and people-reading. I like new things, but I also value people and things around me.

The truth may be cruel, but I would rather know more than know less. It's no longer the trend to only focus on one field or one person. The message of this generation is changing and we are invisibly unfaithful. For this reason, loyalty and kindness are more valuable, and trust requires courage. In this generation of survival, sometimes I become a wooden doll or robot without knowing it, and I need to change to make myself not numb.

Every moment I try to understand myself, grasp my mind, and treat myself kindly. Only in this way can I know how to love more people and the world.

I wrote this blog to record my feelings, and hope that if you are close to me, you will understand me more. Feeling thankful and grateful!

SPCC

 

 

St. Paul's Coeducational College (SPCC) - an awesome school that I spent my age of 11-18 there.
This centenary school has taught me many things - how to swim, sing, dance, learn, volunteer, be confident, and be a leader. My fellow schoolmate Jason created the following song to celebrate the graduation class of 2014 and filmed every remarkable corners of the school, bringing me back to memories :) Hope you enjoy it as well!

Most Pitiful Breakup

 

 

 

It's never a pity to break up for money, not to mention only for the 100,000 lottery winnings. I dare to say that, if you don't break up, you will definitely lose more than the current loss soon. The real pity is to break up for love, but you still have to break up when you are still in love. You have a hard time to say, and you can’t argue. You can only kill your front teeth and swallow the blood. This breakup is really a pity.

Implementing dreams

My childhood dream is about to becoming more true!! I still remember when my high school Psychology teacher asked us, 'What're your dreams?' My classmates answered occupations like doctor, teacher, scientist, artist, etc. However, I replied, 'I want to be a world traveler'. Looking at the map, there're around 190 countries in the world and I wanted to visit as many of them as possible in my lifetime. One of my classmates listened to my answer and teased me, 'Wow, Lillian, you have already thought about retiring plan?' I laughed and everyone in the class laughed too. NO, we don't need to wait to travel until we get old and wealthy. We can dream big and start small, most importantly, start now.

I'm very excited to save up $$ and go traveling around the world. Of course it'll take some time to arrange and implement between work, family, and travel. My goal is to achieve it in five years to finish stepping on the seven continents. By doing that, I aim at experiencing various cultures, documenting inspirations/business ideas, discovering myself, and becoming more open-minded.

Traveling certainly brings me happiness, fulfillment, and opportunities. I always agree that education and travel are two of the greatest investments of my money and time in life. Growing up in Asia and living in N. America, I have checked out two wonderful 'continents' (can't find any other synonyms for this word..). My next goal is Europe -> Asia -> Australia. I have many interests but traveling is my biggest passion. I enjoy finding ways to spend the least but to see the most.

My another goal is contributing the best I can to the societies and communities. I want to volunteer in numerous places and meet different people. Then, I can call it 'my life'!

2016 大事回顧 2016 Self Reflections (Chin/Eng)

 

 

轉眼間，一年又過去了。

我的記憶力有限，只記着好事：

1）増進了知識及人生智慧
2）事業新方向及發展
3）遊历了新地方，也首次試了一个人的旅行

前面的路仍長，也会有新難关及挑战， 我相信自己能堅毅不屈的努力前行。
凡事平常心面对！

In a flash, a year passed. My memory is limited and I only remember good things:

1) Increased knowledge and wisdom of life

2) New business direction and development

3) I visited a new place and tried a solo trip for the first time

The road ahead is still long, and there will be new difficulties and challenges. I believe I can move forward with determination and perseverance. Face everything with ordinarily calm heart!

Beginner's mind - Life is a Gritty Marathon

Merry Christmas!



Very inspiring 10 Ted Talks to recommend which might worth more than a MBA:

Process>Outcome
Smartness is a talent and Kindness is a choice. I feel that Kindness is more precious to find in Today's Society.

They are all very insightful speeches. My favorites:
3. Angela Lee Duckworth: The Key to Success? Grit.
4. Srikumar Rao: Plug into your Hardwired Happiness.
6. Ramsey Musallam: 3 Rules to Spark Learning
1. Carol Deweck: The Power of Believing that you Can Improve

Stay Positive!!

 

 

Be happy, stay positive!!

You can do it!! Say a positive thing twenty times to yourself when you are feeling down. Your subconscious mind will sense it and brighten your mood!

Set short and simple goals and achieve them, then you'll feel happier about yourself.

If you try to achieve a big and challenging goal but you are not running while everyone else is running to achieve it, you'll feel frustrated. If so, there are two options: either you set a lower expectation that you can walk to meet it, or you keep a high expectation but make sure you run and be aggressive enough to satisfy it.

Haven't posted anything here for a long time. And here comes the end of the year again.

I can see myself growing. It's nice to read back what I wrote before. Who cares about this blog. I wonder. I make this public, but I don't really promote it to people. It's been a contradicting need of self-awareness.

I don't expect people around me would read my blog, because I am sure there are so many more important things in their lives that they are more concern about.

If you are the person who is following my blog, thanks for your time! I hope this is helpful and inspiring to you.
