US Declaration of Independence

Americans have a right to "life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness".

Life without liberty nor happiness is not life.

Life without liberty cannot be happy.

Life without happiness cannot be free.

Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs is a master showman, working the stage with precision. He appears comfortable, confident and remarkably effortless. At least, it looks effortless to the audience.

Here's his presentation secret: Jobs rehearses for hours. To be more precise: many many hours over many many days.

I adore you Jobs.

why pursue happiness?

It is an unreachable target and never gets fixed. You chase it, it goes farther. You think you are working for it, it changes in form and direction. It has no term for constancy and all-embracing.

So give up the pursuit. Just relax and accept whatever comes along, whoever comes along and care less.

We all are sometimes happy and sometimes not. We cannot feel happiness unless we also feel sadness or anger or frustration or anxiety. A package.

stay away from the negative

What people attract me?

The kind & the positive & the funful.

What people to be avoided?

Gossipy & arrogant & sick & jealous & boastful.

What game for the months to come?

Pingpong!

success w/o happiness is the worst kind of failure

Happiness all comes back to giving. If you want to have happiness, you need to give happiness. If you want wealth, you need to give wealth. If you want love, you need to give love. For it is only in giving that you receive. Giving enriches your life with meaning, fulfillment and happiness. It allows you to unleash your potential and create breakthroughs. In fact, it is a privilege to give. So give your time, your knowledge, your wisdom, your wealth and you love - and experience the power and beauty of giving.

like van like min

Min talks a lot to me about her work environment and the people there. Exactly what
Van did years ago when she freshly got employed.

All my ears! Girls.

I need good listeners, too. Or a good one will do.

weekend

Morning walk. Ah Chi. Had lunch by myself waiting for Min. I went to Taliana for a hair cut by David and pedicure by Judy.

Mother & daughter shopped around at IFC.

Dinner home. Homemade onion soup.

Min had a party. She looked absolutely beautiful in a black dress.

delightful

Competition brings along tension. Tension stretches our capabilities.

I lost the women's singles 2 weeks ago. I won the mixed doubles today.

Hurray! Broad smile!

Challenges turn into prizes when you can overcome.

Elements

We had lunch there and then shopped around for half a day. So many visitors from the Mainland. Obviously, they are the 'big spenders".

I bought Min a handbag. She is so delighted.

Dined at home. William and she cooked.

:) Content!

No man is an island

But sometimes it is comfortable to be an island. To be alone and talk to no one.

A time of retreat and give your body & soul a rest.

happy vacation

hurray

Edmond installed Mozilla Firefox for me so that I have resolved the incompatibility problem of IE9 & Google.

Pleasure trip of B & F.

Delicious dinner at home with guests. Min & William joined us.

We have a cheerful chat and photo viewing. Nice time!


She knows

She knows I have to go to work after lunch. She knows we will meet very soon afterwards. She knows there is no need to cry. She kisses me and waves her tiny hand to say good-bye. She goes down to the lobby with me in her Hello Kitty Crocs and smiles.

So funny!
