You're at the climax of your yearly cycle, Scorpio. That means you have the power to harvest the best possible outcomes of all the themes you've been developing since your last birthday. Here are two pieces of advice to help you make the most of this magic moment.
1. Use the system but don't let it use you. Refuse to believe that any bureaucracy or organization is stronger than you.
2. Frequently ask yourself the following question: "What is the most fun, productive, and liberating action I can take right now?"

there are lots of chanllenges ahead, this semster study is not easy, as the course financial computing seems quite difficult, not to mentioned the work loading and difficulties.

reviewing the course materials, i just barely remember all those finanacial derivates concept and logic...wow..

i'd been very lazy in the last week and hasn't gone for swimming in the morning. Finally, got some time to swim during the sunday afternoon.

i do consider sport is a very good suppliment to fight against pressure in life, better keep moving and exercising...

why i am so devoted to nikon?

because my first camera is Nikon FM2 - the first single lens reflex camera. It is a pure manual camera, by pre manual, it means i have to set the focus, aperture, shutter speed, ISO and everything within the seconds when doing shooting. It's been a terrific experience. With such manual setting in every shoot, now I could tell you this is ISO 400, F2.8, 1/60 under the evening ...and it's ISO100 F8, 1/250 under sunlight, without any metering tool or digital camera in hand.

there had been so many new changes in camera history. The introduction of auto-focus (making everything auto and easy), the digital format..But Nikon keep insist to the manual -focus camera line - FM series and F3. And actually they continue to put technology investment on the manual focus camera and bring out FM3a. Furthermore, they have been so committed to customer, and refuse to change the lens -ring. So basically, you could use your 20 years manual focus lens on any nikon camera body, including digital camera as well. It has been a very very big compromise, and lens design is limited by the historical ring design. Sill Nixon is willing to make the commitment to it's loyal customer. It's just too easy to put a STOP signal, and start everything completely new - like the Canon EOS system, Olympics E system, but it's not easy to keep embracing the old products and continue to innovate while taking care of the legacy system.

i still miss my "stolen" Nikon FM2....should buy it back in the second hand market...and i still loves nikon as usual.

Learn to let go..

It's been the most difficult thing for me to learn (for years). I've got used to strive and move forward. Try best to get things done and accomplished. Yet, sometimes, I have to learn to let go. Maybe it could be another way out once I agreed to let it down and view it from another perspective.

One of the key learning in Yoga: u have to realize your current "status" and let go (your body and thoughts and the tiredness). Yoga focus on both the physical position, and actually more importantly your mind set.

Have you let go your thoughts and standard?

Have you drop down the thoughts of negative feeling, of your "wrong" decision in course subject selection? Of your negative & closed attitude in your daily life? Of your annoying towards the mobile phone ringing. Of your standard imposed on others?

it's been busy day, both for myself and work.
got to wake up earlier to swim tomorrow! add oil!
hope the course change okay, otherwise it's also okay to take software engineering, instead of logistics.

My secondary classmate told me a very old story. He remember during the old days - our History teacher, Miss Chan, taught the class on the history story, she mentioned one point...Sometimes in order to step forward, you need to step back two steps..By stepping back doesn't necessarily mean withdraw or defeat, it may imply you have more space for rebouncing or creative problem handling.

I have forgotten this statement long time ago really. Actually I could barely remember this story but I think this is an insightful perspective to handle daily chaos and problem. I've got too aggressive and demanding at most of the time, by placing the same high standards (on myself) to other people, never fear any confrontation. Sometimes, moves backward is another way of progress & advancement.

Communication issue...

eugene, it's your problem, whether you would like to pick up the initiative to communicate or just let it be. Either way is fine, just depends on how you choose to live your life, how to communicate and lead the friend, family, work mates, classmates together and enjoy the life, tackle problem...and be happy everyday.

start to be nice with yourself, and then you'll learn how to treat others nice as well.

when's the last time you see the blue sky and sketch your hands open to embrace the sky?

boring day...
can't wait to hear the coming of weekend...
has been slow at work...it's been very different from my past habit. really need to hurry up!

my desktop PC has been finally fixed and setup again. It take weeks..and install for no. of times..and finally, everything is okay.
welcome back to BT and CD burner..and I've got the new LG DVD Burner and could back up up to 4.7GB files. From now on, I don't worry about the photo back up issue.

it's been a terrific and happy moment....to hear the happy story from my friend...
over the past years, i had witnessed so many friends fall apart..so many story start with happy beginning and end in sadness and despair..but tonight..my good friend shared with me his "loving" story..really make the world feels different..

finding a companion is never an easy process...it takes courage...and most importanly, it takes luck and "yuen-fan"..which is out of control at most of the time. So it's not surprise to know that some friends are keep searching but can't find their soul-mates.Or even if they found one, he or she may already have been occupied. So on one hand you've got to face the issue of locating the right person, on the other hand, you need to get the right timing (and it's always the worst scenario that you step in the right timing). My friend find his best match in his company - a cheerful, lovely and caring girl, and most importantly, can communicate and share thoughts...and just so wonderful...

hope i could hear the happy ending very soon...or I should say..the happy start along the road of love.
