28.10.2004. Thursday. Sunny.
I continued my preparation for the coming exam with one of my friends after work tonight .
It started from 6. When it was 8, I felt a little bit tired, so I asked him, "I would like to take a rest. Could you please wake me up after 10 minutes?"
However, when my eye open, I found that he was sleeping. The time was 9.
Although we wasted one hour, an appropriate rest duration could increase our effectiveness in studying afterwards.

26.10.2004. Tuesday. Sunny in the morning, but it was raining at night.
Although I have to take an exam after two weeks, I could not help trying to take some photos by my new toy (In fact, I bought this Fuji P&S camera one month ago). The left photo is her first photo.
I would upload all photos in my web after the exam.
Preliminary impression:
Exposure: usually under 1 step. Because I used negative, fotoxxx made the printout to a normal exposure.
Focus: accurate. There is only one photo which is out of focus among all 36 photos.
Size: compact. Excellent for snapshot, which could not be easily identified by passer-by.

Today I discussed with one of my best friends regarding the arrangement in the coming examination in the next month.
Through the sharing, I learnt much about the technique in answering questions.
It is not difficult to let oneself to understand one thing;
but it is difficult to let other people to understand what you are thinking.
The key to success is to know how to express youself.

Today I had to attend a very important meeting, in which my role is MC.
In the last few days, I had discussions with my partner to think of the script, which was supposed to be conducted in English.
To our surprise, the first speaker chose to use Cantonese to present his topic.
Although speaking in Cantonese would be much more warmer (all of the attendants were Chinese), it ruined our plan.
It was really a challenging job to act as MC!

Even when you are exhausted, you would work harder on a particular thing on which you have much interest.
I love the process of searching the truth. I always ask why.
Many people think that I am foolish, because I spend so much time in some meaningless things.
In my opinion, by self-satisfaction, my life is enriched.

The television was broadcasting the News at Night when I was back home.
""Superman" actor Christopher Reeve, who became a tireless advocate for spinal cord research after a horseback riding accident left him paralyzed nine years ago, has died of heart failure."
Although I was not a fans of Christopher Reeve, I was upset to hear the news.
Treasure all you own. Don't regret after you lose it.

They were freed by my dad one year ago.

Today I had a toothache.
Actually it was not a special thing. All I shall do was to go to the clinic to have the affected tooth removed. But what I concerned was that I had to attend an important meeting in the coming Saturday and an important examination in the coming month.
I was afraid of any adverse influence to my performance in the coming two events.
This is life. When a plan is processing smoothly, there must be some obstacles which could not be foreseen at the beginning.
What we have to do is to treat it with calm and reasonable analysis so as to help us to solve the problem successfully.

Contravening the society's moral standard is not terrible. Instead, it is the contravention of one's moral standard which is.
It is much pity that the cause of giving up one's moral standard is money.
Every person has its own insistence, which could be positioned by self-recognition.
Can money do anything?

There are millions of people passing by us everyday.
Some of them could become our friends, our best friends, and even husband / wife.
But most of them could remain strangers.
Don't always compare oneself with the others, and believe that one does not have this and that.
Rather, we should always think of how much we are in surplus than the others.
To treasure what we own, especially the ones who are growing with us -- our parents.

I talked with one of my best friends through phone last night.
Her working pressure is much much larger than what I am suffering by hundred times.
She told me: "Once you believe, nothing is impossible!"
I do not totally agree her saying. If you goal is preset at a very high level, it could be achieved physically.
However, if we always set a goal within our limits, there would be no breakthrough.
How to set the goal is like shipping. With the provision of clear direction and hard working, the destination must be arrived.

A professional, is constructed.
A professional has to give others a professional look, but does not necessarily have got enough professional knowledge.
Once you could act as what has been constructed as a professional, you could become a professional.

I like photography, but I don't like my job, because my job does not relate to photography.
Then why I do not choose a photography related job?
The major reason is that a photography related job could not give me more salary than what I am working now.
Most people could not do what they want due to many reasons. The most important thing is to know one's direction in one's life, to know one's goal in one's life, and to know oneself in one's life.
I know that I love photography. I know that I have to put resources into my interest. And I know that my salary from my current job is sufficient to support my interest. Then what am I afraid of?
Provided that you could make yourself clear in how to achieve your goal in your interest, I would not blame what I am doing in my job, instead I would work much harder in order to obtain more to support my interest.

Today came the fifth day of the examination. After the hard working in the previous days, today was the last day as well as the important day, because I had to present what I did in the past four days.
After the presentation, the assessors gave comments to me, which told me a full understanding of the reason why I had to re-take this exam this year.
My fault in the last year -- [The Death of Yeung Sau]

Today comes the fourth day of the examination.
Because I went to bed at 5:00am last day, I could not wake up until 3:00pm.
This is me: No matter how late it is, if I have planned to finish by a dead line, I would work hard round the clock.
Although at last I could not finish the tasks by yesterday, I have already tried my best.
I have been working in the society for several years. In these years, I have learnt that not all events could follow my plan. If I have tried my best, I should not over-emphasize the results / overcomes.
I should be proud of my efforts in the process of working hard.
My art in life: to work hard, to feel satisfied, to be happy.

The current time is 0130 in the midnight, which is one hour later than the time I got back home yesterday.
My brain has been running continuously for 14 hours, which makes me so exhausted.
However, whenever I think of the fact that I could use my brain to earn my living, I feel so lucky that I do not have to use my physical muscle to do so.
