January 29 Long Vacation is almost finishedI've never experienced such a long vacation since i started to work. From end dec-07 to early Feb-08. Such a long vacation!! I enjoy it !
I spent more than 2 weeks in New Zealand. For what? to attend my best friend's wedding. Amy was beautiful on that day. Her nice wedding gown, handsome groomsmen, open-air wedding ceremony, after-dinner dance party etc. My 1st time to attend a western style wedding ceremony. Everything is differ from Chinese traditional one. The whole ceremony was so touching, i cried 2 times while Amy cried 3 times! ;-p
December 13 Tokyo Trip with Irene (Oct 20-24, 2007)December 12 Bachelor Degree of Management StudiesFinally i finished the Degree course. It takes me 4.5 years to complete it (Nov 2002 - Jun 2007).
I still remember i struggle if i should take this course and have a discussion with Hop-pot Paul in rest in Sham Shui Po. During this long period of time, i never think of giving up but i really it's really a very difficult time to me. Management Studies include lots of many different types of subjects in order to let u gain all-rounded knowledges. To name a few ie. Qualitative Method, Science, Finance, Managerial Accounting, Investment Analysis.....almost most of the subjects are difficult to me. I never touched on this kind of subjects before.
Luckily, many friends helped me in many different subjects ie, Vincent, Ka Yan, Ka Man, Vivian & Paul. of course my VERY good classmates Ming and Joseph helped me the most. They spent time to teach me and do the revision with me though they also need to work and study. Without them, i'm sure i couldn't complete the course.
A degree is a common qualification to most of the ppl but to me, it means a lot. I couldn't afford to quit the job and focus in studying but i could eventually acheive my goal!! October 14 Early Jun - Tokyo TripSince i went to Osaka last Nov '06, thus i hadn't been to Tokyo for almost 1 year! To me, it's a long period of time.
I went with my sister this time. However, this time, we still had to worry about mom's health condition when we were in Japan. Luckily, she was doing good and waited us to bring her to doctor after our return.
Surprisely, this time, i got some boring feeling when i was in Japan. Maybe the same places that i visited ie. shinjuku, harjuku, shibuya etc, the same thing that i did ie. shopping. During the trip, i always reminded myself to value the opportunity to go traveling especially with my sister since it might not has this opportunity again. As expected, i got sooo many argument with her during the trip! haha...
Eventually i bought a lot of stuffs as usual. though i'm not rich, i still bought a lot. it's becasue i think the style and qlty was much better than HK. Don't say some brands are cheaper comparatively ie. porter, agnes'b etc.
Triple Happiness in 2007I'm so lucky that i got 3 x happiness in 2007 :
- promotion
- graduation
- XX (someone knows what it is...)
Promotion
I've experienced 4 times promotion in Nike. 10 years for 4 promtion. Every time when i got promoted, i don't think i could achieve the next level cox i'm always happy with the current status! I'm not an agressive person. Having 4 times promotion and being an AM is unsatisfactory to some of the ppl. some ppl who stay here for that long of period is already a direcotr! however, i 'm still happy with that, i hate pushing myself too much, i don't want to miss or give-up anything in order to get the promotion.
Graduation
i started the Bachelor Degree around 4.5 yrs ago. i encountered a lot of difficulties during these years. Heavy workload =} couldn't attend the lessons sharp or even absented, biz trip clashed with exams/tests =} need to reschedule, all-rounded knowledge including calculative/scientic subjects =} difficult to handle cox i got no such knowledge before. of course, during these years, i thought of giving-up. Luckily, i got help from many friends! Joseph and Ming helped me a lot in this course. Without them, i'm sure i won't alble to complete it. of course, Vincent, Ka man, Ka yan taught me a lot in different subjects! I'm really really happy when i know i could sucessfully gradudate, this is really my long-term goal! To others, a Bachelor Degree is just normal normal qualificiation, to me, it means a lot. At least that is something i'm dreaming of.
XX
Also sthg that i'm dreaming of..... June 21 What a rush trip!!The trip was only confirmed one week before departure. i've never arranged such a rush trip.
Regional confirmed to use Haruna as F'07 W's talent but they only informed us 1 week in advance. Within this week, i've to arrange everything including negotiating with her studio, ticketing etc. Finally, i could make it!
The trip took me 5 days and we had to wake up very early every morning since we need to catch the time with sunshine.
Haruna was so professional and the shooting went well.
However, i had a test rightafter my return ;-( i was struggling if i should delay the test to next term cox i really had no time to prepare it (i brought with me all the notes but no time to study it). Finally i decided to attend the test as scheduled since this is my last subject and i didn't want to delay my graduation. Luckily the result was not that bad.
