Finally booked the 1-star hotel in Amsterdam~~~

hehehee....searching!!! searching!!! searching!!!! Finally finalizing my mind and have the Amsterdam hotel booked!!!! ^o^

Although this is just a 1-star hotel, it is with a very best location (located in the main-street, within walking distance from the Central Station, located in the heart of the most popular area).

It is so amazing the invention of google map, which helps you a lot to get a clearer idea where it locates, how it looks and how the surroundings....

八方人物:扶貧不能靠想像

Want to post this article, coz' this article impress me very much~~

==============================

八方人物:扶貧不能靠想像


AppleDaily
2009.07.19 (Sunday)


我們血濃於水,金錢源源送到山區起學校,怎料鄉縣政府為了覓地建校,趕走了與土地相依為命的山區老農。我們愛心爆棚,找來專家引入高產量的農作物品種,怎料新品種不適應鄉村環境,產量因加得減。我們扶貧,有沒有想清楚應該怎樣去扶?弱質纖纖的木姜子從前是記者,以第三者身份觀察人間風景,做第三者做得悶了,想介入成為故事的一部份,於是想到加入扶貧組織,從大城市走到小山村,當「項目官員」( project manager)。


都市人自以為是
木姜子足迹踏遍尼泊爾、老撾、四川、雲南、貴州、廣西等貧困山區,「呢份工作唔使日日返 office,可以接觸到唔同嘅文化,又可以幫到人。」說到幫人,木姜子越幫得多,發覺自己越幫得不足,幫得不對。「外界人,甚至扶貧工作者,以為自己受過教育,擁有資源,就有權掌管窮人生命,按自己嘅想法改變窮人嘅生活方式,以為農民又蠢又食古不化。」為提升農民生產力,木姜子請來專家試植新品種粟米。農民嫌粟米的米桿太矮,專家說矮一點好,易於收割。結果新種粟米產量升是升了,卻因為米桿矮,未及收割已被老鼠吃掉,實質收成反而減少。木姜子說:「出面嘅專家冇聽從農民經驗之談,以為農民乜都唔識,先入為主。」


建校強行收農地
香港人以捐錢給內地山區建校而自豪,事實卻並非有錢買了磚頭就可以解決貧困那麼簡單。木姜子說,建校的土地通常來自農民的耕地,因為徵收農地較少爭拗,農民大多不會張聲抗議。曾經有間學校蓋在一對年老農民的耕地上,沒有子女的公公婆婆一輩子的財富就此消失,起初連賠償也沒有,木姜子偶然與他們談起方得知,於是代他們向政府爭取,最後獲得賠償,「起學校係為咗幫人脫貧,背後竟然要犧牲有需要幫助嘅人,咁樣扶貧都幾諷刺。」剛於英國修畢文化人類學博士學生的木姜子,沒有後悔把十年青春獻給沒有人用的廁所與種給老鼠吃的粟米,她只想總結一點經驗,吸取一點教訓,讓扶貧工作扶得更實際,這些經驗都載進了最近出版的《窮.想像》一書當中。

原來我可以算係"制造及工業工程師"~~ :P

I was attending a series of workshop currently, this series of workshop is related to Intellectual Property, and is on a very practical & technical approach....I just know this series of workshop is organized by the HK Productivity Council, but ever know that this is under the organization by the "Institute of Industrial Engineers (HK)".



hahhaa, the interesting thing is, when i got the two certificates presented by them, i was surprised that this series of workshop is actually designed & targeted for those Industrial Engineers.....hahaa, that means i am also being categorized in the same field as a "制造及工業工程師"~~~

原來我可以算係 "制造及工業工程師"~~ 喺咪好勁呢?? ^_~


文化屋雑貨店 / BUNKAYA ZAKKATEN @ Hong Kong

Today....I bought a very stylish bag at a 日式雜貨店 today, this shop is called 文化屋雑貨店 / BUNKAYA ZAKKATEN. It is exactly the same one originate from Japan Tokyo!!! This HK store is the only overseas' store of BUNKAYA ZAKKATEN outside Japan~~
I read a Japanese' news release there that this shop is even more popular to public than 無印 (to be honest, i don't like 無印, too generic).

Although I am not a person that have strong sense of fashion nor design, but from the special decoration of the shop and from the uniqueness of the goods there...i can felt the heart of the designer there.....
I believe i will shop there from time to time (Address: 油蔴地彌敦道咸美頓街)~~~ hehehe...我要做個潮人!!! ^o^

See my stylish bag!!! and the label inside~~

This is the one in Tokyo under their official webpage i searched from internet (http://www.bunkaya.co.jp/index.html)

二十三式改造負能量的生活習慣(上)
黃毅力

我對我的寫作工作充滿熱誠,也覺得非常有意義,因為,這些文章的確能幫助到別人。這個《正能量》系列自刊出以來,我收到許多讀者的回應,於是,我便在此傳授給大家二十三式對抗負能量,及改造性格的方法。這些方法並不重要,最重要的,是你要有持之有恆的毅力,不斷去重複及演練。當我們生病時,會靠吃藥去解決,但對於負面情緒的初期,只要透過不斷去調節自己的心情,及演練以下的二十三式,我相信問題的根源,是絕對可以解決。

第一式,轉移視線。
當你覺得自己的形勢是不利,或容易產生負面思維的話,在問題發生或思維滾動之前,你要跟自己說:「在任何情形之下,我是不會放棄,也不會退縮!」如果時間容許的話,便用我那個「騰籠換鳥」的方法,轉移視線,然後放入正面思維。

第二式,接受失敗。
要使自己接受「失敗是人之常情」的道理。失敗就是未來成功的最大基石,接受失敗是一種學習,如果有未嘗過失敗的人,是因為他沒有嘗試。

第三式,現實一點。
對自己的期望不要過高,要面對現實,因為沒有人是完美的,自己及他人也會犯錯,所以對其他人更不可有過高的期望。

第四式,沉默是金。
當你發覺自己的情緒不太穩定,或不肯定自己的情緒是否穩定,你便不要做任何決定或回應,給自己少少時間去冷靜。

第五式,深呼吸。
當問題發生時,請深呼吸,用上一式去冷靜自己。

第六式,語言的力量。
在你說話,或文字的書寫中,請將一些字眼撇除,例如:「大鑊」、「大問題」,便變成「好好玩」、「好有挑戰」;「唔得」變成「凡事有可能」。你要將負面字眼,從你的腦中撇除,將之完全拋諸腦後。如果你能夠刻意地令自己不要說:「我不開心」、「死啦」、「大鑊」、「死得啦」、「大禍臨頭」、「弊家伙」、「死火」,「唉」等等的說話,還緊記一些給你靈感及動力的金句,那你已經成為一個正面思考的朋友。

第七式,行好點,穿好點。
男士們,走路時應挺起胸膛,也要有神氣,表露氣宇軒昂,不可以低頭走路或寒背;女士們,你則要相信這個世界上,有許多人都會羨慕自己,因為你們都有一個健美的體魄,如果你還不認同自己,你便要學我一樣,不停做運動,或買1-2件自己認為穿得美麗又時尚的衣服,逼使自己為健美身形發奮向上。

第八式,交好朋友。
人是群體動物,所謂「近朱者赤,近墨者黑」,彼此都會交叉感染,你與一些正向思維的人多點溝通,多點來往,你自然也會變得積極。

第九式,尋找信仰。
宗教及信仰是人生逆境中最好的療劑,如果有適合自己的宗教(不是邪教) ,應該要多些參與,那裏你也會遇到許多正面思維的朋友。


<都市日報> 2009-07-07二十三式改造負能量的生活習慣(下)
黃毅力

經過一天晚上,不知各位讀者有沒有利用頭九式,為自己改造負能量的生活習慣呢?立刻再奉上餘下的幾式:

第十式,注入正能量。
嘗試每日找些時間去閱讀一些勵志的金句,或者看一些勵志的文章,以增加正面思維。

第十一式,小睡片刻。
每天都找機會小睡片刻,令自己的心靈能夠保持清新。

第十二式,善用旅行。
如果你的負面情緒已經差不多累積到一個爆破點,你便要嘗試去旅行,欣賞一下大自然的美麗,將這種負面情緒分散。

第十三式,常歡笑。
每天出門口前,要看着鏡子跟自己說:「我今天一定要很開心!」及要學懂對着自己笑,當你看着自己笑的時間,你便不會想到自己的負面思維。

第十四式,唱歌。
嘗試唱一些開心及正面的歌曲,擊退負能量。

第十五式,善用物質。
當感到不快時,可吃1-2粒朱古力,這有助對抗負面能量。若情況許可,便離開案發現場,做些令自己愉快的事情,如購物發洩(但不要瘋狂)。

第十六式,不咆哮。
就算面對負面情緒,說話也要保持溫和,不要大聲呼喝,否則只會加深負面情緒。

第十七式,有危有機。
愛因斯坦說過:「每個困境當中都有機會。」面對逆境,要明白「有危必有機」的道理。

第十八式,忠言逆耳。
面對別人批評時,不要立刻否定對方,要留意對方的說話會否有「忠言」,令自己「逆耳」聽不進,若有的話,便要好好記住,藉此令自己進步。

第十九式,不怕惡言。
如果別人的說話盡是負面或一味批評,請不要理會,做好自己就可以了。

第二十式,誠實做人。
若你犯了錯要立刻承認,不要有藉口。若你覺得不快樂或感到很難過,跟別人傾訴吧。

第二十一式,犯錯不可恥。
若你做錯事,要記得蕭伯納說過的金句:「在生命之中不斷犯錯,總比甚麼都不做而來得光榮。」

第二十二式,你不能取悅全世界。
你要為最差的情況作最好準備。因你不能取悅全世界,事實上亦沒有人可以,所以你也要分清身邊哪些是豬朋狗友,哪些是良師益友,跟損友盡量少點接觸,你會減少許多不必要的負擔。

第二十三式,放眼未來。
當你在人生的困局中,千萬不要在困局中間打轉,要將你的情緒及思維焦點放在未來,這也是「騰籠換鳥」的思考方法。只要你將焦點放在未來,當下的痛苦便自然會減退。

當“劉麗儀”叫“劉麗儀”

Not many of my friends know i have had my Chinese name changed for twice...So, they may feel strange when reading the title of this post. ^_~

I accidentally find a friend of mine has the same Chinese name as mine (劉麗儀 is my 1st Chinese name). She is my spanish class's classmate which we know each other for 2-3 years already, but as we usually call each other in English name rather than Chinese name, so, we ever know until this Monday when I was filling a membership form at a Korean Restaurant.

Haha, you know, it has a very funny feeling when you call 劉麗儀 to somebody else.....such feeling is really difficult to explain....but somehow, it is because this name "劉麗儀" has followed me for my first 16 years in my life.....it somehow recalls some of my childhood memories!!!!

Rosa, I will not call you Rosa anymore.....I will call you 劉麗儀 from now on~~~~ ^o^

Bershka @ Hong Kong

Bershka @ Hong Kong!!!


I quite like this brand when the old days i was in Spain.....Bershka actually is the second brand under Zara, their market positioning is "trendy", "age 20+", "stylish" & "colorful"......i love this brand because it is more colorful and stylish than Zara Basic, especially their deep-V casual wear, its good cutting can show the beautiful side of your breast, and their price is more reasonable and is lower than Zara. ^_~


I accidentally found from the advertisement that it appears in Hong Kong recently, it is located at Maritime Square in Tsing Yi. So, i went there today to recall my old shopping memories.....Umm...since i am now 30+...their clothes are no longer suits my style any more.....but still, i got fun for shopping at there....and i finally bought 2 T-shirt for myself....


When i pay at the cashier, i asked the lady if any more shops will going to open in Hong Kong. She told me that there will be a new one going to open in Times Square next week, and then one more will going to open in Tak Fok.


So good~~~~




You see, their label is very special~~
