2010年7月27日是妳的生日

27 July 2010

當妳夠大識睇呢編野既事候唔知編野仲係唔係度。

今天早上還是放晴的，下午開始落陣雨，現在我在荃灣的家，外面正在閃電呢。

2010年的香港，比起世界上好多地方生活水準都好，要吃飽食足不難，但要出人頭地就不容易了。教育是一個因素，天資是一個因素，父母親也是個因素。如果一出世就有本錢，起跑點比人強，做什麼都易。但你的父親只是一個低微的打工仔，雖然比你的爺爺麻麻搵得多少少，但很抱歉我鐵不可能供你到外國留學，也不可以畢業送架車俾你（最少行文當下不夠格）。

我有一些朋友，或不少的香港人夫婦，都選擇三十多四十時才生孩子，除了因為香港人較遲婚，另一主因是他們希望攢多些錢，給孩子作教學基金，或是讓母親提早退休全職照顧孩子。我和妳媽媽這麼早生妳出來，這是我認為健康比什麼都重要。我們知道年輕的父母親，生出的寶寶也較健康，母親復原也較快。而且，到妳長大時，我倆還是未七老八拾，還有精力倍伴妳成長，教懂你如何在這社會生存。到妳獨立，我還可以倍妳媽媽去玩。

今天才看了妳幾眼，不知道妳有什麼才能，什麼興趣，但我希望妳會成為一個有智慧，凡事樂觀，善良而堅強的人。有智慧教你辨別善惡，樂觀幫你挨過逆境，善良使妳得到朋友，堅強讓妳不怕獨立。

6月11日晚餐

13 June 2010

上個星期公司工作繁重, 每天都要OT, 星期五晚都要七點半先番屋企. 阿媽之前買左D餸俾我地, 咁我地先可以9點先食晚飯, 希望香港有較廉價既買餸服務啦 (香港有買餸服務, 不過仲貴過叫外賣)

睇相先:

左上角既味噌汁煎魚係我最漢意既菜色. 因為卦住食唔記得影相, 我地食左一邊先反轉影第二邊的. 煮法很簡單:

1. 洗乾淨魚裡外, 清去內臟, 抺乾水後用鹽及姜片醃內外, 等約30分鐘
2. 用中式鑊(我覺得熱力均勻D無咁易烤焦)落油爆香姜片, 落魚, 大火煎封兩邊後轉細火慢煎至九成熟
3. 準備汁料: 1.5 – 2 湯匙味噌, 一茶匙糖, 熱水少許, 攪拌至味噌融化.
4. 然後將汁料倒在魚上, 蓋上鑊蓋焗5分鐘. 完成.

考完CRE & BLT

13 June 2010

昨天搞成日, 考完個試, 比起我五年前考果試難好多, 唔係題目深左而係時間和題目多左, 幾乎每一題都要一分鐘內完成.

不過, 即使唔合格都好, 溫習CRE令我學會了一些中英文化法的基本概念, 係我以前無既 (我真係無印象讀過任何中英文法, 我諗我真係唔聽書果挺).

是晚菜式: 芝士蕃茄咖哩雞柳

2 June 2010

參考: http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/tony-karen/article?mid=38586

本來想整上面連結的菜, 但家裡沒蕃茄也沒茄膏, 只有茄汁, 和吃剩一塊的日本咖哩磚, 所以改良一下整左芝士蕃茄咖哩雞柳. 食落都幾特別, 撈飯唔錯.

做法:

雞柳切細件, 用糖鹽生粉醃15分鐘.
爆香蒜茸炒熟雞柳, 盛起備用.
將茄汁4湯匙, 水半碗, 糖兩茶匙混合, 入鑊煮熱後落一塊咖哩磚煮溶, 請試味, 鐘意咖哩多D就落多舊, 想要甜D落茄汁, 想要酸D落醋.
將雞柳回鑊煮, 照道理咖哩磚會令汁料變糊, 不須落生粉, 但如果你落得太多水可以落生粉收獻, 或者你覺得太糊就落番D水.
灑上芝士粉, 炒混, 熄火焗5分鐘, 上碟.

516後變化

24 May 2010

2010年5月16日公投結束, 投票率只有18%, 比我想像的要低得多. 雖然有不少客觀因素如特首聲明不會投票, 阿爺講明唔準投票等等, 但在風波不斷的情況下, 我相信有80%香港人知道5-16是投票日. 我相信除了從來都不投票的人, 建制派的支持者, 還有一堆不喜歡五區公投的人. 他們不喜歡保皇, 但也不支持唔區公投.

在FACEBOOK看了他們的說話, 大概有兩種:
1. 他們並不欣賞公/社兩黨的方法, 認為他們搞亂香港, 或是純粹和他們相信的價值不同, 當中亦有不少感情衝動.
2. 他們也希望有民主, 但目前香港經濟唔算好而中國成為全球最強勁經濟體系下, 港人應該識時務. 小不忍則亂大謀. 在過往幾年也因此得到不少好處.

據我所了解, 以上兩者佔香港最少20%, 除非一個契機出現, 例如死到臨頭, 或者佢當前的權益突然消失了, 否則他們確信的難以改變.

516對他們來說不是一個契機, 但516事件改變了很多人的想法, 有些人轉駄了, 有些人更堅定, 有些人心淡了, 有些被別人感動. 有人說港人被分裂了, 少了和諧, 但我看到的是, 站在中間的人少了, 他們靠左或是站右了, 但對香港的認同感加強了, 無論是左是右, 他們都想改變香港, 而不再當香港是過渡城市了.

好吃的煲湯豬肉 – 豬踭肉

1 May 2010

豬踭肉比起豬骨平, 最緊要佢多肉, 而且有豬味, 煲出黎既湯亦都夠甜.

我一般會當佢係一款餸, 但如果就咁食會無咁好味, 最好就切件, 加上麻油和頭抽, 半肥廋好好食嫁!

已經食左一半先記得影相.

2010/04/27 letter to staff

发表于2010年04月27日 14:36

摘自某君的大作。关于工作中的小事和面试123。
有缘者阅。欢迎转录。

In my last brief to everybody. I promised some advises to you in order to smooth your future careers.

I am putting together some thoughts I have now. Some suggestions may fit you, some may fit others,

but it's worthwhile to keep self alerted.

1. always try to keep your desk tidy. if you cannot keep your desk organized, your chance to keep

your multiple work organized is small.

2. I often see the water machine out of water. I believe in the office I am the person that changes

the water bottle most often . this leads to one thought, there are people who use up the water

but didn't bother to change the bottle and left it to the next person that would use water. this

is a responsibility projection.

3. always give an immediate response to the person who is talking to you or asking you question. \

I think you already know the extremem cases such ask no respond from LA staff and the bad effects.

now what I want to mention is not such extreme cases. I have many times asking hk staff questions.

sometimes people just ignore me for 15 minutes or a few hours and then respond me "it's done".

then at the moment I wonder if the person was focusing on what I was asking. An immediate response

like "ok I am on it" or "I will do it 10 minutes later" will always improve the communication

experience between colleagues.

4. if you are given a task, complete it until you are 120% satisfied with the outcome. it's real and

quite often my experience that staff return tasks like what they did in school submiting homeworks.

in work place, bosses expects not only works get done, but works get done well. it's very important

to know that if I give you a task, you return with 60/100 marks, you get passed in school, but you

lose the next chance for important assignments in work place.

5. as an extension to last point, I would like to point our with limited resource, I prefer to see

smaller scope task done well than big scope task half done, as a judgement to a staff's capability

and responsibility.

6. do not feel shy to disuss task related issue with your boss. if he assign you a task and you don't

understand completely, ask. it's really much better than your task come out with bad results.

7. extension to last point, you can also extend to other situations, if you ask or discuss, be well

prepared. for example, preliminary studies. most bosses don't mind discussing and helping staff

to get their tasks done. but they hate it when you use their time instead of your time. remember, your

boss's time is always valuable than yours.

8. get rid of your multimedia phones, mp3 players, msn etc from work, focus on your job. while it's

understandable no one can focus 100% of time, if there is another staff who doesn't have these, then

you lose the comparision.

9. be truthful. especially one day you are in a management role. one lie or one unwillingness to keep

your promise, you lose the credit you have built up for years.

10.always think in a reversed way. I think I have talked about this many times. but still I want to

emphasis, try to put yourself in the position of your opponent and look at your possition again.

in conclusion, try to be responsible, considerate, well-prepared, mature and stable at your work.

I know these are tiny things and my those sometimes are bossism. A few littles things that may change the way how your boss look at you, why not ?

Since you will be looking for job. I would like suggest you to make the following preparation before going into interview:

1. get to know the company you are being interview. as least thing of a set of good questions to ask to get to know the company.

2. 2 incidents where you have learned something, the progress is important. make it as detailed as you can speak for 1 minute each

3. 2 incidents where you have accomplished something, preferrable bigger scale things. 2 minute each

4. 1 incidents to demonstrate your *cooperation* with colleague or manager to accomplish something. 2 minute

5. 2 incidents where you have faced difficulties, and how you deal with them. don't talk small things, interviewer wouldn't care. 1 minute each.

6. 3 strength; 2(two and only two) weakness, one bigger, one very minor. you must provide suppliment on how you overcome with your weekness! 2 minutes total

7. 2 things you like from your last job. elaborate. 1 minute each

8. your short term(1 year) and mid term(5 year) objectives. what kind of jobs you are looking for. 2 minute

There is always a misconcept by interviewees that caused their bad performance in the interview, that they always wait for interviewer to ask question and they answer. remember, you are not going to there to be asked with questions.

you should go there to gain the opportunity to present yourself. the best interview result is that the interview end up to be a conversation between you and the interviewer, where you should be speaking 80% of the time.

One last thing, always use possitive tones in the interview.
