I am counting down on my classes in Physical Fitness. Can't wait for the last class and walking out from the gym with ease.
On the other hand, I have met a new friend in Susana's Yoga Class this morning. Anita has joined the gym for a while and is in the advance level.
Creamy and I have worked on the board together these couple weeks. Thank God... it is done. Enjoy!
I had organized my diplomas last week. One of them has a name list attached. Although I only spent one year with them in school, they were friendly and helpful. Sometimes I wonder when we will have a reunion and what they do.
Well, here they are...

Listening to the old songs today... I have found myself becoming maturer day by day. My memories flash back to the teens...
Truly, Madly, Deeply... a song I heard from MTV before leaving to US for the exchange student program. My English was not very fluent and I could not fully understand the lyrics, but the melody was great.
Time flies... I hate to say that... I have to move on...
Artist: Savage Garden
Song: Truly Madly Deeply
Verse 1
I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy.
I'll be your hope
I'll be your love
Be everything that you need.
I love you more with every breath
Truly madly deeply do..
I will be strong I will be faithful
'Cos I'm counting on a new beginning.
A reason for living.
A deeper meaning.
Chorus
I want to stand with you on a mountain.
I want to bathe with you in the sea.
I want to lay like this forever.
Until the sky falls down on me...
Verse 2
And when the stars are shining brightly
In the velvet sky,
I'll make a wish
Send it to heaven
Then make you want to cry..
The tears of joy
For all the pleasure and the certainty.
That we're surrounded
By the comfort and protection of..
The highest power.
In lonely hours.
The tears devour you..
I want to stand with you on a mountain,
I want to bathe with you in the sea.
I want to lay like this forever,
Until the sky falls down on me...
Bridge
Oh can't you see it baby?
You don't have to close your eyes
'Cos it's standing right before you.
All that you need will surely come...
I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy.
I'll be your hope
I'll be your love
Be everything that you need.
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly madly deeply do...
Chorus
I have not arrived yet. It is just a beginning. Trust yourself and you can make it through!
I know it... somebody has told me about that before... I need to take thing less seriously depends on situations. So... Candy is working on it...
I went randomly through my stuff at home tonight. Here what I found!
Some of you might see them inside the cover of my weekly planner 2004 and I did set these goals right after my college graduation in Seattle. I was fresh and innocent... hahaha...
Now, I am gladly to share that I have completed most of them.
1) I have got a wonderful job in Hong Kong.
2) I have got many interviews and met so many great people.
3) I have sent more than 300 Cover Letters and Resumes online.
4) More than 10 Pounds... You can check me out from the picture on the top.
5) I am working on it... I need to put the stuff right back where it's from.
6) My mom is cleaning my home now... hhahha...
7) I am cutting at least US$100.00 per month now.
8) Well, I am trying to make myself meet new clients everyday. There should be 30 new contacts per month at least.
On the other hand, here is my funny No Need/ Need List. Don't laugh at me, ok? I was living in a tiny studio at 4th & Lenora alone. Life was tough and I had no money to spend at that time. It has taught me to the differences between "NEED" and "WANT". Then, I am thankful to move on to the next stage- Invest!
Are you kidding? Hahahaha...
I am gladly to announce that Candy has completed 190 classes including Kickboxing, Yoga, Basic Step, Basic Aerobics Dance, Barbell, New Body (Basic Aerobics with Weights), Stretching... from August 2005. Anyway, I will keep it on.
PS. Candy Code- 20.2 today!
Do you find somebody who is so annoying recently? How do you define "Gossip" & "Concern"? I have been lucky enough to live in the Eastern and Western World and encountered with people from different backgrounds, races & nationalities. Gossipers are always around and you always deal with them no matter where you go. They talk about others with their peers on the dinner table, criticize without proof and share other's personal stuff with strangers. It sucks!
On the other hand, there is an angel on the corner without notice. He/ she lifts people up whenever they are down, gives people tips whenever they are in doubt and sets people free whenever they are in trouble. Isn't it nice?
Therefore, I have made up my mind to meet more new people from now on so that I could get away from gossipers and be other's angel.
What do I do on the way to your client's office?
- Planning in my head
- Rehearsing
- Thinking nothing
- Chatting on the phone
- Looking around
...
That day I chose to take a nice snap for the Lion Rock.
One of my Clients from Jewelry Field and I worked on the artwork of her reprinted invoice yesterday. In her business, invoice was very important and was a part of temporary contract. Therefore, checking through all the information of payment terms, legal terms, bank account and format were her responsibility.
From my curiosity, I have found a few interesting terms:
30/45/60 Days- Client could pay the balance in 30/45/60 Days
T.T.- Telegraphic Transfer
C.O.D.- Collecting the charges upon delivery.
C.O.T.- Cash On Table
C.U.T.- Cash Under Table
Kanti, my yoga teacher gave me a compliment about my pose tonight. I felt so great because she seldom made any comment about student pose. Therefore, my time and effort are never wasted.
Thank you very much for your encouragement, Kanti!

NEW DELHI - Two Indian girls who fell in love with Pakistani men over the internet, were detained by the Indian security forces while trying to cross the Line of Control (LoC) a defacto border in the Kashmir region, news reports said on Monday.
Asha Patel, 24, and Ayesha Sharma, 22, realized that love does have boundaries when they were caught by security personnel on Sunday at Chakan-da-Bagh in Jammu, the winter capital of India-administered Kashmir.
“Both had even decided the point at the border fence where they would cross, a method normally used by the militants,” the NDTV network reported adding that the army caught them minutes before they crossed and handed over them to police.
Jammu and Kashmir is among the most heavily guarded states in India, as New Delhi alleges that militants aided by rival Pakistan regularly infiltrate through the LoC to carry out attacks in the state.
Police said Patel began chatting with Mumtaz Khalid, a Lahore youth over the internet four years ago. ”This was followed by phone calls till it developed into love. The emotions became so intense that sidelining the prickly practicalities of the border, they solemnized their marriage on the internet,” a police officer told the Times of India.
Police said Patel from western Mumbai city which is located over 1,500 kilometres from the LoC and Sharma, a resident of northern Uttaranchal state got to know each other through their boyfriends.
Though they are freeo back home now, the girls said they would make efforts to unite with their beloved. ”We may not be able to meet at the India-Pakistan border but we can still meet at other places. They cannot stop us from meeting,” Patel was quoted by NDTV as saying.

* Found this news from Apple Daily tonight. It was interesting one and I put the "Ayesha Sharma" in the search engine for the details.
Love with no boarder- True Love never fails. Where is my Mr. Right?

去年底，一個新名詞在日本掀起廣泛討論 ——「下流社會」—— 一個向社會底層流動的悲觀新階層。
香港人對「社會流動論」的認知，源於 70 年代初憑個人努力由基層爬上中產的社會菁英，時至今日，當年輕世代爬上中產的黃金時代一去不返，「下流社會」是否有機會「上位」？
一個人在社會階梯中的流向，除受制於社會因素，亦取決於個人選擇。上流下流之間，也沒有絕對界?，景隨心轉，下流隨時變上流。以下兩位年齡三字頭、長期收入浮浮沉沉的年青人，就是箇中例子。
假下流的上進
或灰或白的腦細胞影像投射到眼鏡片下，目不轉晴的他，利用磁場原理拍攝自閉症病人腦?的影像。
實驗室，一個狹小呆板的社交空間，卻成了黃乃淇 ( Naikei) 的夢工場，令 30 出頭並擁有 1 個學士學位、1 個碩士學位的他，甘心在 9 個月前當起無薪研究助理。
鏡頭一轉，他已從香港大學醫學院神經學系的實驗室，來到科技大學生化系實驗室拿起手術刀?開老鼠的腦。雖然同樣無薪，但當實習生毋需交學費，他已感激不盡。
收入向下
為了學習， Naikei 要西環西貢兩邊走；為口奔馳，他要兼職做繙譯，好景時月入 2 萬元，但一般介乎 3 千至 7 千多元，論收入，絕對是浮浮沉沉 —— 8 年前，芝加哥大學修畢東亞研究後，在教育學院做研究助理，月入 $12,000；後來轉到文英文報館任職記者及副編輯，月入 $14,500 ； 3 年前在北京師範大學附屬中學當課程發展員，月薪又降至 3 千幾元，2 年前修讀港大心理學更靠食穀種。
兩年前，他在西環租住一個小單位，除了上網，奔走港大、科大之間「上課」，及每星期回大埔老家一次，幾乎沒有社交生活，仿如活於封閉的私人空間。這，不正與近月在日本引起熱烈討論的「下流社會」不謀而合？先生，你是否「下流」？
當事人強烈否認。根據日本社會觀察家三浦展定義的「下流社會」，是泛指溝通能力、生活能力、工作意願、學習動力普遍低落的年輕世代 ( 20 至 34 歲 )，由於沒有上進心，終從中流階層流向下流階層。
單是看學習動力，加上 Naikei 在訪問中多次自詡「ambitious 」，他發奮上進，毋庸置疑。
學術中產
「我好奇很心強，享受 research 的過程。香港人口老化，老人記憶會變差、甚至癡呆，記憶很有研究價值。但記憶的生理基礎是什麼？是大腦。」Naikei 由研究社會轉移研究大腦，從文科轉理科，由於在高中沒選生物科，路並不易走。他決定破斧沉舟，先做研究助理裝備自己，「既然我清楚將來要做腦記憶的 research，就要在實驗室惡補醫學或生化的應用技術，兩年後再報讀同生物醫學有關的碩士課程，讓自己有足夠本錢報讀美國的 PHD。」美國是他的博士學堂，他信奉的是名牌效應。
Naikei 的抉擇，在旁人眼中也許不可理喻，而他的路確是迂迴曲折。畢業 8 年，讀書及工作時間各一半，不斷摸索前路，直至今日確定方向，「我走文科的路進展散漫，轉了理科的路雖然難走，但我認為值得，我寧願以短期代價為將來鋪到一條好路。」
假中產的享受
名牌大學與名店一樣，令人趨之若騖，目迷心醉。當社會極度浮誇，最踏實的故事，可能是 G2000 Women 飛入 Landmark 變鳳凰：一登龍門，格調提升。像一條鬆身褲，標價 $195；一條連身裙，$565，價錢相比同場的 LV、Dior，差天共地，但放在同一個商場，依然其門若市，並不突兀。
在公共屋?長大、一星期蒲 5 天中環的 Sandra，也愛慕中環的美麗，緊貼中產的生活品味：愛到 Pure Yoga 做瑜伽，再到 Kosmo 歎茶；每月修 1 次甲，做 2 次 facial，用護膚品 Dermalogica；每周到戲院看新戲，每年看 10 場文化藝術表演，單是一年一度的藝術節已花上幾千元，平日買 DVD ( 例如杜魯福的電影 ) 動輒過千元；高峰期一年去 4 至 5 次短?旅行，到布吉、峇里的 5 星級 resort 歎 spa；近 3 年追求提升修養，學中國茶道要試三四間；每季花幾千元置新裝，追捧時裝品牌 APC ，而 U2、Giodiano 貨色只會偶爾作襯底內衣，穿衣之道，是穿得 causual 又能表現真我個性，中產 = 有品味？「我買過一件 Tsumori Chisato 的衫，望落好靚，但穿上身又覺得好不自然，不似自己，可能件衫花喱花碌太『高調』吧。」
從事傳媒的長髮姑娘 Sandra 談到的穿衣品味，與她認知的中產味不謀而合。「 中產買衫，不一定要撻晒所有名牌上身，不一定要? LV Monogram 手袋出街。她們揀的 designer label ( 例如 Jil Sander ) ，並不會太外露，要稍為有品味的人才會睇得出。中產，某程度上是比較 knowledgeable，識得揀去哪?吃飯、消閒。以前睇冷門電影，今時今日不一定，有人會跟風，睇戲睇大片。」
「中產」階層，向來以收入及專業界定，至於中產的生活模式，早已給傳媒定型為「有品味、捨得花費」，但實況是為供樓而中午捱叮叮飯，外遊以深圳起，番禺止的中產可能就在你我身邊；相反，不屬中產階級，亦可以過得很「中產」，像月入 2 萬的 Sandra 一樣。
--------------------
慾望上流
中產，代表?「香港夢」，生活節儉的 Naikei 轉入中產之路似乎指日可待，「雖然我轉了科已變回基層，但中產其中一個指標是社會地位，將來讀完 PHD 會是中產，希望到時候入到一間好大學，一步步升至教授，這最快要在 PHD 畢業15 年後才會發生，不過我最終的目標，是擁有自己的 lab 做記憶研究。lab 等於舖頭，尤其做 science 的，短期內無經濟效益。假如研究結果有機會在著名的學術期刊刊登好幾次，你就會好出名，若放在普通期刊，大學會覺得你 perform 不到，會影響對你的研究撥款，最後影響你下個研究的 outcome。」
小時住深水?的 Naikei 講到學術的階梯，比任何人都階級化，「現在我不介意做 lab 的 worker，只要我將來開到一個好的 lab，聘請到出色的 worker 就得了。」
在日本，一個人是否「下流」取決於薪金與職位，還包括他 / 她對生活的熱情。Sandra 說：「講中產，我肯定未到，但我願意花掉好大部份的收入去享受，不會特別儲錢。我不介意人說我過得『中產』，雖然我覺得『中產』這個字有少少扮?。」
人的流向，大致可分上流與下流；在社會階級的層面上，讀大學時修讀英國文學的 Sandra 出道 10 年，職級沒變過，薪金不過升了一倍 ( 1 萬至 2 萬) ，早在 5 年前，她曾自覺唔上唔落，但最終想通職級也不過是個「title」，做記者反而可以自由地多賺外快，滿足物慾，「我虛榮?，我鍾意靚?！我的滿足感，就來自我揀的衫、揀的酒店，不是所有人都識揀！」
--------------------
上流放緩
中文大學社會學系教授呂大樂指出，日本的「下流社會」有獨特的內部因素：日本的終身僱用制崩潰，年輕一代沒有固定職業保障，最終淪為 freeter ( 長期靠打散工維生 )、或倚賴父母過活的寄生蟲，但香港一向沒有終身就業上班族，香港人亦慣於在好景時不斷跳槽，故「下流社會」在港不成氣候，中產階級亦未見萎縮。不過，他承認由於社會競爭大增加，新一代流向中產比以前困難，需時較長。「 70-80 年代香港經濟急速增長，大學生可以擔凳仔定時定候等升職，但現在經濟增長不及以前，就業結構亦改變了，加上競爭多了，大學生向上流動的機會減少了。」
「現在社會要求的競爭條件亦相應提升，以前香港大學畢業已經不錯，現在要留學哈佛、MIT 才為好，中產父母為令下一代上到中產，會花大量資源栽培子女，提升他們的競爭力，相對下，出身自基層家庭的大學生會較吃虧，比家境好的競爭者亦較難進入中產階層。」

Clear Sky with a Breath of Fresh Air... won't it be nice to have it always in Hong Kong? We deserve a healthy environment!
After the Golden Week, the factories in our mother land will be open and the polluted airs will invade this tiny international city again.
Therefore, I would like to share an interesting article from HK Magazine as below. This magazine is one of my favorite and I check it out almost every week. The style is similar to Seattle Weekly. (Of course, not much as liberal than the Stranger.)
So relaxing today! My parents and I got a chance to watch a movie which was called "Take The Lead". The movie was about Dancing and Class Conflict in the society. After the movie, my parents went shopping and I had the Yoga and Bacis Step Classes in Shatin. At the end of the night, we had a great dinner in Chalon. My mother enjoyed the Mother's Day so far...
Fun... isn't it!

Answer:
She was hoping that the guy would appear at the funeral
again.
If you answered this correctly, you think like a psychopath.?This
was a test by a famous American Psychologist used to test if one has
the same mentality as a killer.?Many arrested serial killers took
part in the test and answered the question correctly.?If you didn't
answer the question correctly good for you.
If you got the answer correct, please let me know so I can take you
off of my email list.

Sure. I will do it...
After reading an email from one of my schoolmates in the States, I feel so relieved. We have known each other for a short while in school a few years ago. I have learned so much subculture and local music from him.
Remember that teaching me how to pronounce "Albertson" correctly, having sushi in Greenwood, the crazy Birthday party.... He has become much more mature and kind nowadays.
...I really do not know when we will see each other again. Definitely, I will take care myself as he says.
It just happened around 6 o'clock somewhere around The Time Square (Of course... the Hong Kong one) that I was sneezing on the escalation with a whisper of "Excuse me..."
A stranger passed by and said "Bless you!"
For heaven's sake, I have not heard such a nice word with warm kindness since Sept 28, 2004. One thing I truly appreciate about American people. They care people's well being even just a random sneeze.
SEPA is planning to have Photo Sharing X Movie night next weekend. We shall share our photos of our exchange student year in a cozy cafe and watch a movie- The Da Vinci Code.

It's gonna be FUN!
It is an very important truth in life. Many people are seeking goals which are not from their within, but from their peer's ideals. Sad, isn't it? We should have more self-confidence and find dreams. Don't be a copycat!
Suffering from self-destructive is silly. Suffering from peer pressure is even sillier.
Life is Short... have a Good Time!
I am so thrilled to meet my former classmates who were part of my teens. It was unbelievable and I never dreamed that we would see each other soon.
Remember the time in Seattle... I looked at the KTL Yearbook and thought what we would do in our reunion.
Well, Venus is still sweet and Siu Lam is pretty... they told me that “Candy is just Candy. No change... fun to hang out with.”
Thank you very much for the friendship, Venus & Siu Lam!
1) Work hard... get more book deals, magazine's clients, high volume orders & reliable business partners.
2a) AK Cell... I will host a gathering on June. It is time for me to prepare.
b) Creamy and I will work on the board together for our unit this Saturday. I need some inspiration and creativity.
3) Setting up SEPA06 step by step and having meeting every Wednesday as needed. I look forward to having a fun summer with my teammates.
4) Poly U Interview on May 24. Working on my presentation skill.
5) SAVING UP!! The Tuition is sky rocketing high compare to my salary.
6) Reducing the GAP… I will communicate with my family effectively with our limited time.
7) Completing 23 Classes from Physical fitness before July 23, 2006. The membership will be over by then and I will try my best to work out in the gym as often as possible.
8) Looking for a fine Yoga studio. I plan to visit at least 3 studios per month and seek advice from their members.
Optional: Being part of the committee in the KTL Alumni Association, the election result shall be announced on June 1, 2006. If my Cabinet wins, we will lead the association for two years.

49. 適可而止。
得失
50. 過後不過一啖笑，記住起身依起棚牙，性感豬頭炳嚇不死人也嚇死自己，
好 happy。

candy710 was my first email account in life. Someway somehow I forgot to login more than a month. The email host just deleted all my email without a notice. It sucks!!
My first sent email, my first received email, all the old friend's contact, photos... GONE. I feel like part of my history has been wiped out completely. Maybe I should count this experience as a RE- START.
Today is a public holiday in Hong Kong... So happy! No need to work...

10:30 Watch Movie 四大天王(The Heavenly Kings) with Mom. I highly recommend this movie to all of you.

To all KTL Girls,

Shall we meet at 2 o'clock in the school this coming saturday?
See you there!!
Candy
I am very proud of myself!!!
Purely because...
1) I have graduated from The Dale Carnegie Training
2) I have become more self confident day by day.
3) I have won new friendships.
4) I have known my Strength and Weakness.
5) I have reached to some of my goals.
6) I have attended every single class.
7) This is my second time to self-finance my education in life.
Many thanks to Ivy, Terry, Jacky, myself, Blingi, Eunice, Aileen, Paul, Winnie, Elsa, Louis, Gloria & Tommy!!
It just happens to pass by the news stands in Mong Kok. I was lucky enough to take a snapshot at the Ghost Ghost Hotline Vol. 2 with my fuzzy cell phone camera.
Can you find it...? I will give you 5 bucks if you email me the answer... Haha!!!
You could see the Hong Kong Workers are rushing to their workplace and the Chinese Style Neon Light Advertisements. What's a fun contrast to the Laid back Seattle based Coffee Shop with the cozy sofas...?
‧失敗並不意謂你一事無成，
它是說你學了某些功課。
‧失敗並不意謂你是個傻瓜，
它是說你有很大的信心。
‧失敗並不意謂你蒙了羞辱，
它是說你勇於大膽嘗試。
‧失敗並不意謂你缺乏才幹，
它是說你再試別的方法。
‧失敗並不意謂你浪費生命，
它是說你可以重新再來。
‧失敗並不意謂你不會成功，
它是說你必須加倍努力。
‧失敗並不意謂神放棄了你，
它是說神有更美的主意。
‧失敗並不意謂你是失敗者，
它是說你現在尚未成功。
‧親愛的，當你不再害怕「害怕」。
它的魔爪就會逐漸消失。
‧當你不再害怕「失敗」，
成功的笑臉會迎你而來。

Where shall I find Peace in the middle of the busy international city?
- Stress
- Miscommunication
- Tension & Conflict
- Tired
- Inequality
- Indifference
People need to LOVE and self-control more.
Receive a SMS from Dan Horvat, a cool EDCC schoolmate from Croatia. We have been busy for our lives and I was surprised to get his update from him last night. He gave me a website to check out and I found that he was in Car Racing- one of the most exciting fields. Despite of the language barrier, I was lucky to have an online translator to read his articles. Anyway, here is his transformation.
It was a very fun trip and was a great chance to hang out with you guys. Many Thanks to Queenie, Tony, Erika, Rita, Steven, John, Wing, Kenji, Barry & Garen.
