三三四

不少香港學生及其父母們心中有很多"升學疑惑", 特別是面對打到黎的"三三四"這全新學制, 連校長與老師們都很頭痛.

"三三四"即是三年初中, 三年高中, 四年大學. [香港傳統上是"五二三"]

所有2008年9月時仍未開始讀中四的學生都會受到影響, 而2009年9月將會是第一批的新制高中一的課程與學生(both試驗品).

其中兩大困惑是應如何選修新的科目, 和各大學的收生計分又會如何變動, 超多組合(subject combinations), 及超多不確定因素(admission uncertainties).

如何面對呢? 容我來日再談, 亦歡迎大家參與討論.

The Right Approach

We want to be in good health, right? If yes, we need to pay special attention to our intake of food. For a correct combination of intake of food, we need to use The Right Approach (TRA in short).

This is especially important in this festive season, when we are tempted with al kinds of delicious food in Christmas and New Year.

Enjoy, Take care, and Cheers.

Motivation - a recommended TV series

I watched ATV on Dec 21 (Sun) at 10:30 pm (a half-an-hour programme), it is the first episode which introduced the 6 real-life cases which will be broadcasted in a lot more details in the following 6 Sundays (10:30 pm, ATV Chinese). The 6 cases are-

[1] A man in Australia, born without his 4 limbs (Nick Jusicic), now the chief administrator of two charity bodies
[2] A woman in USA, paralysed after injured in diving, now an artist (using mouth)
[3] A man in China, paralysed after injured in diving, now a medical translator
[4] A man in Eastern Europe, mental disorder, now a professional
[5] A girl in HK, born with 6 fingers only, now a pianoist
[6] A family in HK, with 4 gift children, how to bring them up

So, if you are interested in this kind of topics, please watch ATV on Sundays at 10:30 pm starting Dec 28, for some cheering up and personal reflection..

混沌嗎?

美國政府縱使將使用大筆公帑去挽救三大車廠, 其結果據說只能是令三大車廠"有秩序地破產".

花這麼多的錢, 不是要令三大車廠"有秩序地起死回生"嗎???

如果只是"有秩序地破產", ......

The Food and The Mood

Doctors and nutritians say "You are what you eat."

When they said this, most of the time they are referring to the food, the food that you choose to eat. Today, I would like to share with another perspective of "You are what you eat.", that is, the mood when you are eating.

You must have experiences that when you are in bad mood, no matter how delicious the food in front of you is, you eat it without too much taste and take a long time to eat just a little. In fact, this will become a vicious circle - you eat bad, so bad absorption of nutrients, leadig to worse health, leading to difficult recovery from bad mood.

Similar to you can choose the food, you can also choose the mood when you eat. IT IS YOUR CHOICE, AND YOU CAN CHOOSE.

So from now on, whenever you eat, eat happily. Enjoy the food. Enjoy the people eating eating together with you. Evem if you are eating alone, enjoy the "strangers" around you at other tables. They can be a piece of your memory, a trace of history or a life-mirror to you.

Cheers.

Launch of my Blog

After attending a course of "Certificate in Internet Marketing" (with CEF), I created this blog today, 17/12/2008.

I am an advocator of Positive Thinking. This is a good tool for us to combat depression or anxiety which is becoming more and more common both globally and in this part of the oriental world.

Take an example:

On Monday, 15/12/08, news on direct flights mark the "great direct three links" (大三通) between China mainland and Taiwan. Most Hong Kongers, especially those in the financial and logistics sectors, are afraid of the negative impacts to Hong Kong.

Positive thinking:
In the last 10 years or so, the over-reliance on the benefits of Hong Kong being a middle-man role between China Mainland and Taiwan has to some extent inhibit or defer the determination and actions of the economic re-positioning of Hong Kong. We are not well alert of the benefits are temporal only, it will come to a "deadline" some day. So now, both the government and the people should really have to think twice on how to re-position ourselves, in both the macro and micro dimensions. After a genuine reshaping, we will be in a better shape to have our survival through the financial tsunami and sustain ourselves in the longer term.

So let us cheer ourselves up!
