Happy belated Lunar 牛 Year

From My Tour - Hong Kong

I know its late, but nonetheless, i did congratulate all of you all. I did send an sms to you all. I fulfill my new year resolution by a bit. This year is my year, Year of the Ox. According to the Chinese almanac, it is a bad year for us, born in the year of the Ox. But i still believe we can “牛转乾坤”.

Have been busy with several work lately, school FYP, my upcoming design house, Design.I.am studio, my girlfriend, looking for job. Think i'm gonna land myself a lecturer job teaching Multimedia soon. I guess i will work till i complete my degree then start the searching process again. I need to get my pay increase asap. My wish is to get a 2.5k salary by 25. And its next year! I think i am quite slow already considering i have 1.5yrs of exp, done some freelancing and stuff. Need to speed up now if i wanna plan something for my future.

I am considering getting a job not design related if i want to earn more money, maybe design wun get you there but its the passion more then money issue. I wun stop designing, just that it may become my secondary profession. I still love designing alot althought my skills may not be there yet. Its the joy when others see you work and gave you a high standard/professional work for remarks.

Recently, my best buddies have been encountering lots of problem too. Jobless, Friendless, Girlfriendless, Cashless, Securityless summarise all their problem. I would say all the luck to u all. One day we go 拜拜together.

Thats all for this post. Good luck friends. Good luck for the year ahead. Wish those that need 桃花运 get 桃花运. Those that need 财运 get 财运. Those need 饭碗运 get 饭碗运. Enjoy!

Make a difference

嗨！大家好！今天我，Jerry Wong，又要做故事达人了。希望这些故事能给你们启发与思索的空间。

今天的故事是。。。

One day, I was enjoying my weekend on the beach with my girlfriend. While strolling on the beach, with the warm wave brushing on my leg, the view was spectacular as the beach is littered with starfish. I believe they were wash ashore by the rainy season last few days and now thousands of them we sunbathing on the beach shore.

Upon strolling, we saw an old man picking up the starfish and threw them into the sea. One by one, he pick them up and threw it back to the sea. He continue doing it for 15 minutes and this got us curious. We decided to ask the old man what he was doing.

I :"嗨，先生！请问您再做什么？“

Old man:"哦，我在把这些海星丢会海里阿。不然，在这酷热的太阳下，他们一定会死。”

I：“可是，这里有成千上万的海星。你要丢到几时？这样有用吗？Will it make a difference?”

The old man bend down, pick a starfish and said：“有，对你也许没有用，可是对我手上的海星意义重大。”

After that, the old man threw the starfish back into the sea.

So, whats the moral of the story?

To some person, it may be useless. To some, it may save their live and make a big difference. You did not try, you did not know. Even if you failed, you know you have done your best and tried before. So, start to make a difference now.

不要斤斤计较

嗨！大家好！今天我，Jerry Wong，是故事达人。

今天的故事是。。。

从前有位先生，他是间糖果店的店主，开着一间很漂亮的店。

每天，都有很多小朋友到店里购买糖果。

有两位双胞胎姐妹每天都会放学后到店里卖她们的糖果。可是姐姐每天都会非常的霸道，不是拿妹妹的零用钱来买糖果，就是会偷吃妹妹的糖果或嫌妹妹选糖也选的这么慢。

姐：“还不快点！妈妈就要骂了！”。然后，便捏着妹妹的耳朵离开店里。妹妹从来却一句话也不吭。那位先生一直看在眼里可是也没多说，只是为妹妹担心。

有一天，只有妹妹一个人来到店里买糖。

那位先生觉得很奇怪，便问道：“hi, 小妹妹，你的姐姐这么今天没来啊？“

妹：“我姐姐今天生病，所以没来。”

先生想了很久，终于把心中以久的问题说了出来：“小妹妹，我想知道，你不会讨厌你的姐姐吗？每次他都这样的对你不客气？“

小妹妹笑着说：“不会阿，反正又不会少块肉，只是被她骂罢了。"

这个故事告诉我们什么？

作人不要斤斤计较。有时也要左耳近，右耳出这样人生才会过的快乐。

2009 New Year Resolution

Good Day to all,

Happy New Year!

New Year has always been a time for looking back to the past, and more importantly, forward to the coming year. It's a time to reflect on the changes we want (or need) to make and resolve to follow through on those changes.

With such, below is my 10 resolution for 2009:

1. Get a job
Really hope to land myself in the a job. Going for interview on Monday. Wish me luck! need to prepare a 10min presentation.... Hope my dear dear get her job too! Its the number 1 important thing i have to fulfill.

2. Be more hardworking
I really meant to be more hardworking, to tell you all the truth, i am really damn lazy to send back all the new year/ christmas well-wishes and wish my friends back. I promise to do it for CNY.

3. Tame the buldge
I'm not plump, but i can feel my small swimming float around my waist ever since i left the army. its time to start. No way am i gonna be a fat uncle. Like those fat uncle ex-colleagues of mine. No way!

4. Stay away from Christi*n
I just left the god forsaken place, i am not gonna get stuck in any place like that again. No more morning prayer, no more ridiculous comments, and finally no more dreaded long meeting. To my ex-colleagues, you know what's good or bad. Just do it!

5. Get out of debt
Owning a bit of my fee here and there. Not a big amount but need to be clear. I hate to own ppl money, even my own families or close friends.

6. Help Others
Just hope to be more helpful towards anyone and minus away all my bad habits. No more sarcastic mouth of mine. I try to keep away.

7. Gain new knowledge
As the saying goes, "knowledge is the greatest wealth". Would like to learn to dance, maybe salsa.

8. Get Organized
Just hope to be more tidy be it at work or at home. Please help me on this baobei.

9. Try something new
When is the last time you did something for the first time in your life? I just visited hong kong and macau. First time sit on a budget plane. I wanna try more new stuff. Life is fun becos of these new things. I first time quit my full time job too!

10. Complete my University
This is the most important part in my current life. I have to complete it. For my future, for you and for me.

I shall see at the end of this year, how many have i tried and failed, have completed gloriously and some just stay the way its is at now. Good luck to all my friends and wish u a happy year ahead. 1 Life, Live it!
