sometimes, i need to have courage to voice out my feeling, be a leader, lead the meeting and don't be introverse...speak out - remember today you have asked other team members to take the lead for project team of statistics / kiosk meeting. I think it is a good start to voice out, influence and speak and look straight to others' eye..
about coffee,
Phase 1: when I start to drink coffee, coffee make me wake up
Phase 2: coffee make no impact to me, I can sleep even I drink coffee half hours ago.
Phase 3: Now: coffee make me feel sleepy and dizzy, I cannot open my eye....
Strange.it is time to cut the habit of drinking coffee every day.
Today is Tuesday, still 2 days to go, at least.
I think FT has a very good interpersonal and reasoning skills, in particular, she is so strange in listening and understanding, really need to learn from her.
IC is good a humour and cheerful mind, need to learn to relax, speak and laugh at oneself...sometimes, you don't need to speak at all, just smile quietly, responding to other people's saying is already a very nice encouragement to your listener.

Let's see who's childish now....I remember I read an English article from SCMP during my F.6 (my English teacher like to clip article and pass to us for reading).
Sometimes, it is related to how you preceive things...if you think others are looking down on you, making fun on you, digging secret from you, with that perception and preconception, you're very likely to respond and inteact that way, resulting to a "lose-lose" scenario...therefore, why not look positive and cheering up?
I am again unresponsive to Finance colleagues, hope it won't hurt any relationship... but no matter what, it is a less favourable start.
Today I back to office at 8:30pm, get out for quick lunch at McDonald for 30 minutes, don't go out for dinner, then I leave Office at 11:45pm i.e. ~14 hours 45 minutes...wow..

seems movabletype.org is better, let me check later.
my eye soars..and productivity decreases, maybe because I haven't get a complete rest & sleep during weekend (doing seminar on Sat & been to watch theatre on Sun). Life is still busy but my capability and productivity decrease despite long work hours...need to find a day leaving office earlier and sleep earlier. At the end of the day, I have to spend dollars on more vitamin, chinese herb and aroma to reduce pressure...what a ironic statment.
I have more my table on Sun..it is a strange and interesting scenario as I keep moving table from days and nights..
remember in SEHK, I move from Jardine House to IFC One,
then at i100, I start at ASPWeb of North Point for a week, >> i100 temporary seat, opposite to Daphne & Ray, >> inner cell of ask100, >> Tung Wa Bldg of ask100
at ESD, first at HF Two, opposite to Michael, >> move to near photocopier, >>HF One, near main entrance (opposite to Lewis & Tony), >> HF One (still) near Pantry & Photocopier (in front of Selena)... I should take photo of my seats to show the tragic movement and moment.
Wow, just watch the news that Hutchison take ove Global Crossing with injection of US$0.75 billion...as expected.

i am okay, left office at 12:30am, getting rid of part of RD stuff.
with the RD content, i think our site style is too formal and logical, cannot tolerate any soft / funny text. and more importantly I hate the treatment of -
(1) you present something formal and they think it is too formal
(2) you present something soft and funny, they think okay
(3) they present your stuff to the senior and then laugh at your stuff for too soft and funny and cannot accept it.
..anyway, I know the trick of handling that, and I still think I can provide / create some value in between....

sometimes I had problem of loggin back here. I am not sure whether it is related to bad login or traffic limitation. anyway, now actively searching if I can rehost this diary somewhere in another web sever, stay tune.
still busy for Mon & Tue, always get out of company at 10:30pm. But still this is Tue, a long way to go...to weekend..
and i am longing for coffee, because I have moved seat recently and everything is not set up yet (including my coffee maker). Hope to get my seat back to my personal style quickly.

I AM TOO DEFENSIVE - really need to change. I need to
- sit and listern to other patiently (with eyes looking at others in eyes)
- listening completely before speak
- speak softly and with humor (no need to speak loud)
- accept other opinion willingly
- formulate a clear logic, and the whole argument before voicing out anything quickly and patially
- SMILE !!! most importantly...
today I clearn up the whole table, keep all the projects in files, and everything run smooth and efficient...wow...it should always be like that. don't have anything left on table unclear (as well as email)...
still have one and half day to take rest...

today is even worse.. I am little bit angry and uncontrollable, as some colleagues are dragging around, without giving any solution, we have been discussing for kiosk statistics for over 4 weeks, and there is still no clear ruote and action item...not suprise.
the RD has been delayed, I underestimate the payment module - really need to work out the whole timeline from that early beginning. Another issue, I tends to be too relax and lenient towards technical, editorail and design team. Now it is time to go back to straight. Everything should be clear and controllable, whoever get out-track - can be identified easily.
My sister is right, we should be aware of language and communcation, it is long term not shot term. And before you say something instantly and you should be aware wether it will create unhappiness and never-be-able-to-take-back consequence to others.
it's been a long day, keep forgetting things and missing schedule ( for meeting with external party)... the dinner is really bad - i start to hate noodle and in particular, instant noodle...no happiness to share at all :-D

Today is a busy day..not sure if it is productive but at least get something ready - polling flow, payment-update, map wishlist and some minor follow up on music and RD.
I am still not sure on how to handle interpersonal relationship and work relationship. My phiolosopy is - always to voice out, communicate more and more..increasingly I think more control is required to monitor project progress. I may need to force people to give a concrete deadline, rather than give a rough timeline and keep following up. This doesn't work out anything. However, no matter what, I still need to be happy and cheering up, rather than using a defensive and negative attitude which doesn't help anything out but destroying relationship. I am still working it out, not yet tired.
Finally, the short & long weekend ended and we have received "official" email from mgt on the "official" timing of contract. It is a expected scenario, but I don't like the HR people empahsis on the normal working hour. And I think it is the first time I work in a company with a compulsory working weekend. SEHK is a long/short weekend. MS and i100 is a also short weekend. Short weekend means a lot, as it really refresh oneself after lengthy work hours during weekday....I really look forward to work in a company with short weekend. Yet, if I had my coffee shop, then I have to work 7 days a week woh.

Hey I just press the wrong buttons and my blogger message lost..Ha ha..I will never fail again. Let me rewrite something that I just get loss.
Today I leave my company quietly at 6:30pm to join the Yoga course. Our teacher lead us on lots of exercise on extending the body, neck, "spinal cord" and leg..It is a demanding exercise. We have got a change to lie the whole body on the floor relaxly and deep-breath quitely. I can see the ceiling of the hall when laying down on the floor. The light is shut off. Through the light from the corridor, I am still able see what is in front (on top) of me - the clean and quiet ceiling. Just like the Othodox chruch, whenever you go inside, you can see the dome-shape tranquil and beautiful mosaic where sunlight flashes through the coloured glass and touch the your eyelids before dropping on the ground quitely.It is a terribic experience. I think I haven't laid down to see the ceiling of a hall for many years. Myprevious memory is the Kadoriee Hall of the O'Camp and the secondary school hall.
About Ally McBeal - some people believe in Dragon while some don't . which one you belongs to?
About Business - Anderson got caught in the Enron brankruptcy by failing to provide professional and fair view on its accounting report and policy. What a big scandal for the Top 7 of the SP500 fail within a few months.
About Work - still a lot to do - still lagging behind..need to catch up more - RD operation stuffs, KPI, Finance, Payment Module, Polling flow, etc. The ICM meeting is coming this week.
About vacation - I think 20th of May is the best timing. what do you think?
About Monday - always the blue and boring Monday. Hope things get better on Tuesday.

Well. this is my first time to use blogger diary. Quite good experience. I discover this tool when browsing one of my previous colleague's personal website, he likes to write online journal (www.hkdom.com). I find that he is using this tool, and what a coincidence Times Magazine quote "blogger" as the second Top 10 web tools in this year...
Starting the new year, let me spend 15 minutes and write down something every day.Too bad my Chinese input is bad....but English is also good and easy to express. In future, I will move this online dairy back to some dedicated web hosting services.
Last week is a rush..and everyday is meeting...things moving slowing...because I have been always involved in meeting and even don't have time for meeting notes and review some RD content web page with editor. Next week is critical again...try to catch up little bit what is laggard behind.. I think I still need to exercise more emtional control. The problem is - I am always too serious about meeting and pushing timeline...and somehow there so be another way to motivating team members, rather than just pushing the timeline.
Some of the "Serious" plan in 2002 -
Saving more money (say ~$7000 cash per month) and investment more in stocks
Study PTH
Enhance emotional intelligence
Networking exercise
Let me explore and tell you more later.
Today I go for suite pick up at G2000, gee, the price of suite drop again. I pay $770 to get a full suite with pant (which originally worth around $1900...I still remember I bought a suite around 900~1000 last year...HK retail price have drop quite quickly..
