Goodbye 2012 [Sunny & Cold]

Goodbye 2012.

還有不到一小時,2012年要就結束了。

2012是極到忙碌及動盪的一年。忙碌不打緊,橫豎生活太悠閒反而不自在,是名副其實的「勞碌命」;只要快樂,那就值得了。可惜,這一年有些時候是真的快樂不起來,擔心又憂心。

無論如何,都過去了。隨著2012年的結束,一切將成為歷史。

希望2013年充滿快樂、健康與幸福。

Welcome 2013.

面試 @ 九龍塘 [大風]

今日與寶寶到一家位於九龍塘核心地段、卻出乎意料地能使用學券的日本背景幼稚園面試。

相對於寶寶近數星期的面試表現,他今天的反應簡直是超手準。我們都很欣慰,無論最後被取錄與否都不重要了,起碼寶寶今天玩得快樂。

去程趕著前往,在九龍塘地鐵站跳上的士,在學校門口下車。回程時間充裕,我們仨慢慢走到九龍塘地鐵站去。沿途經過的房子都很別緻、有歐陸風味,有一幢的外型、氣勢更和以前在倫敦金絲雀碼頭附近的房子相約,不禁多看幾眼。蘇海明打趣說:「我們就在這裡買房子吧!」

晚上在網上看樓市消息,想起下午經過的房子,就去查看一下--- 嘩! 價格最低的是港幣四千六百萬,有的是九千萬 ... 對於平民如我們,根本遙不可及,當是做做春秋大夢能住進去好了 =P

Busy life [Sunny]

So many things have happened the last 2 months, yet time was so limited and my pen couldn't follow the flow >.<

Will try to write back when I have spare time later, but I guess it's more important to look into future!

I'm enjoying this moment now when my 2 boys are both having afternoon nap after the swimming class ... hehe =P

CAMS [Sunny]

公司「提名」我去考一個關於防止洗黑錢的國際專業試,今天是考試日。

說實在,我覺得自己已經一把年紀,早就過了很有拼勁去考各樣專業試的年齡。以前得到的幾個專業資格,你叫我去重考,九成會「肥佬」。對於這個考試,是本著平常心 ... 平常到我半年前已經鎖家今天為考試日,但我昨天才開始溫習 *.*

這個專業試一副很「高科技」的模樣,試場在電腦中心,考試上網進行,時限三小時。我花了一個半小時完成第一輪,然後很盡責地覆卷,在考試時間到達 208 分鐘時才按 「Submit」。五秒鐘內就知道考試結果,竟然合格,謝天謝地 --- 不是因為從今天起得到一個叫 CAMS 的專業資格,而是因為不用重考 =P

考試後,到山頂明德醫院去探望在星期日誕下小王子的莊靜賢。山頂的醫院果然不同凡響,今天大開眼界! 看到仿然未決定叫 Kingsley抑或是 Carson 的小朋友,想起寶寶曾幾何時亦是這麼一個小小的嬰孩,只能依靠我們,好懷念 ... 小朋友,你要乖乖,健健康康、快高長大!

BCP in action [Hot]

Typhoon Tembin didn't wish to leave - apparently it wanna give a kiss to Taiwan so much that it headed straight to Taiwan!

Pondering for the whole morning as to what's the best strategy to deal with that. Just realized today after speaking to Asia miles CS officer that tickets purchased using Asia miles are of duration of 1 year from date of issuance, with multiple re-booking allowed; and so as for the infant ticket! The guesthouse @ Ching Yuen also had no issue of deferring the reservation as long as it's within 1 year from the date of initial booking ...

Okay, let's defer our Tai Chung trip to Oct then just before Bo Bo turning into 2 =P

It just happened that I found out CX Holidays was different from other travel agent in which it accepted last minute package booking for departure with 3 working days. So … we booked another trip to Sanya departing Thursday and it’d be confirmed once MO Sanya hotel reverts on the room availability tomorrow!

The BCP worked quite well so far ... Cool! Learn something new today =)

14 years ago …

What happened 14 years ago? I met someone the first time, who then became my companion all these years ... We commemorated the day together with Bo Bo by having a so-called "nicer" dinner @ TST Lung Mun. Not bad indeed – I mean the food =P

Choir lunch gathering

Surprised guest of the day – Ms Lau!

CAY was supposed to join this lunch gathering as well, but she just realized yesterday that it's her grandma's birthday today and thus couldn’t make it. Would be interesting to see her joining next time – though not certain when would it be ... another 5 – 10 years maybe?

Typhoon?! [Hot]

Typhoon Tembin, please stay away from us!!! Looking forward to our third trip with Bo Bo to Tai Chung the coming week, please don't spoil our plan >_<

病倒

一家三口都病倒了 ... OMG *.*

Article on Classified Post Hong Kong [Cloudy]

She's one of the ladies whom I'll be meeting tomorrow in the SPS(LT) Choir lunch gathering. She was the President of the Choir Society when my buddies and I "promoted" from Junior Choir to Senior Choir when we reached Secondary 4. It's a bit hard to link this funny (sometimes crazy) lady with the image of a professional, serious-looking lawyer in Final Court of Appeal indeed ...

Get married first, then focus on career [Typhoon approaching]

I read this from Vienne’s blog this morning. She’s an avid follower of Penelope’s blog and she quoted this article about “Get married first, then focus on career”.

Putting aside whether those ideas being promoted in the article was valid or not, it appeared to fit in my history very well so far – got married at 28, delivered the first baby closed to 31. So ... what’s the next milestone in my life?

JN's farewell note [Rainy]

Received this note after Joseph sent out the "standard" farewell note ... those're the good old days!

Good luck my old buddy on your future adventure! Please can you recruit me as the receptionist/ PA of your newly set-up firm ... not getting only minimum wage of course =P

------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Guys,

How can you be satisfied without reading something more personal from me? A sentimental yearning for the happiness of our good old memories.

.....It all started with a job interview in Island Shangrila on a Saturday afternoon for me. Jiann - when I rang you at the hotel lobby, I prayed..."please! don't ask me to come up to Room xxxx on xx/F!". Silly me, must have watched too many movies! Jon, nice to meet you, though I knew you were rushing to somewhere else after my interview and I saw you on the Admiralty's MTR platform looking at your watch, sorry to keep you in the lobby lounge (not me, it was Jiann OK)

Dec 2006, my first day with RBS started in Princess Street office, I was late to the office, windy day, tube line was out of service, Vandana finally picked me up around 930 am (considered most of the London guys started office hrs at 8 or even earlier, I think I was very late!). Back home, I only met up with Johnson in AIA building after a 3 weeks' business trip in London. Impressive, an experience colleague with audit and product knowledge and most importantly, with fashion sense! Johnson, do you know you broke the hearts of so many RBS gals when you get married? I don't think your single status ranking was anything less than Richard Li in Central, time flies, now you are a father of 3, still fit, the only difference now is the gals have no more fantasy about marrying you. Derrick, Derrick, my friend...where were you? I recall you only joined us after we all moved into a room facing CKC, we all sat together with a gentleman (btw, what does he do?) with six LCD monitors and with him looking into our monitors like a "teacher and students classroom" setting! Nothing works, technology sxxks, Europa domain was down during Asia AM without support, TM connection took ages, but well, we all survived and I was glad to be part of the team. Shame I lost contact with Takei-san, his fade out story at Marunochi Building was sad but classic. When I have to face death one day, I may be expecting similar pictures like what Takei-san described to me...."Passed away grandma waving her hands from the corner, childhood memories appear again in sequence....." BTW, do you guys believe a word he says? Anyway, glad that he recovered and hope he will (if he hasn't) retire and enjoy his life in Thailand with elephants bringing him coconuts in his palace.

I believe together we have been to almost every APAC countries with RBS presence since 07. SG's OGS, Fullerton, Tokyo's Marunouchi, Shanghai, Sydney, Diamond cut at Lawry's, UK offsite (Derrick and I actually had our Tux tailor made at Mong Kok, few hundreds HKD were all we need to spend, my wife wasn't too happy with you Derrick as you picked the same colour, same bow tie, same outfit as me.....that's female....who cares right! Then seeing Jocelyn the first time on the Mezz floor of Princess Street during another London trip, "who was she? A senior auditor..."who is she now? a Audit Partner...wow!" Seriously Joc, you got to eat more these days. Brighton's offsite, here comes Jiann, you again, you kept Takei-san in the London office for a report, he supposed to leave early and have dinner with us, oh well, don't know how he managed to cut off the conversation with you and arrived the dinner place before Myra finished xx kg of lobster with noodles on the plate. Myra, you done a good job during your secondment to London. Coming back to APAC, Sydney's fire incident during office hours, Jiann teased Takei-san again for taking the elevator and gone disappear after landing the ground (come on Jiann....can you leave him alone?). Jon, freezing Beijing and nearby Grand Hyatt, a lady approached me first in Mandarin, after me ignoring her, she quickly translated the "question" into English and asked you what she just asked me in Mandarin seconds ago, kind of embarrassing right? then we never have the courage to try the deep fried scorpions from the food street, who knows, they might be able to keep us warm. Then, HK style BBQ at Shek O, Sai Kung offsite, Top of Four Seasons/pool side team meeting, taking visitors out for dinner and who broke the plate with the gold hammer?(any broken glasses in the chicken? Waiter's response: Of course not (bcos he didn't want to replace us with another dish!). Sorry Morgan if you missed all the fun and only arrived Hong Kong just head of the ABN merger, anyway I'm still glad to see that you like BBQ pork bun so much and settled well in HK (oops I meant HK island only as you never cross the harbour!!). Our stories just go on and on....

So, what have we done apart from travelling and eating? We issued xx audit reports, landed xx major issues, xx significant issues, xx important issues, closed all issues before issuing the final reports, moved office 5 times a year, managed to secure 6/7 our desks in the prime land Central, keeping all regulators around the region satisfied....... Impressive numbers, and we do carry on with such positive momentum until now even some of you have left GIA, fine fine Joc, I know we shouldn't be satisfied with these and must keep scoring! Not sure if you recall all these memories, may not mean too much to you, but to me, they are! It has been a wonderful precious experience being in the team, working and meeting you all. Not to mention, the trust, the camaraderie, rapport and friendship that we have forged are definitely not easy to replicate elsewhere. Long and boring email, apology, do allow me to take this opportunity to thanks for all your support and guidance, each of you have made my years in RBS a memorable and meaningful one. Leaving a place that I worked for close to 6 yrs is not easy, I admit that it is with heavy hearts that I bid you farewell but I'm sure our paths will cross again for sure. Let's have a 10 yrs reunion in 2016, promise? Keep in touch ok.

My personal email is xxx@yyy.com.hk and mobile +852 zzzz zzzz.

Goodbye.

Joseph

進步獎 [熱]

寶寶沒由來地得了他那一班級的「進步獎」,於是今天叨光去出席 K3 班假浸會大學舉行的畢業典禮。

至於寶寶的得獎原因 ... 實在猜不透 *.* 他現時不用考試,與學業成績必定無關。那還有甚麼方面的「進步」,令寶寶可以取得「進步獎」? 莫非是 ... 他近月來沒有再咬同學? =P 不過這終歸是寶寶人生的第一個獎狀,是值得紀念的 =)

相片是我在畢業典禮開始前拍的,這就是媽媽眼中的寶寶 –-- 帥哥 *,*

Bo Bo's 1st swimming class @ YMCA

Guess Bo Bo enjoyed his first swimming class a lot, since he kept on singing the song taught during the lesson even after arriving home ... “London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down ...”

Ming went for his Sunday morning basketball, so I had McD breakfast with Bo Bo alone – Our secret dating =P

長假期

我自5月12日開始的長假期終於到達尾聲,明天要正式上班了 =(

這個沒預料的假期,除了到馬爾代夫跑了一轉就一事無成了。

希望明天回到辦公室,還記得開機密碼 @_@

寶剪髮 [熱]

寶寶的頭髮又長了,就在長假期的最後一天修剪一下!

一如以往,我們替寶寶剪髮時在他面前放下 iPad 播放 Youtube。今天播了兩、三首兒歌,隨即播放蘇海明剛搜尋到的「天線得得b」俄羅斯版片段 --- 片長20 分鐘,寶寶動也沒動,比聽兒歌還專心,看了一次,還要 encore -_-"

今次剪髮,額前的沒有剪太多,以遮掩寶寶仍末100%痊癒的傷痕 *_*

清水灣第二灘 [熱]

人家去遊行示威,我和蘇海明、寶寶和媽媽一早就跑到清水灣第二灘進下本年度第一次沙灘下水禮,回家又倒頭大睡。

寶寶還是怕水,卻樂於玩沙。不過他是難以捉摸的,因為我們快要離開海灘之前、在大浪洶湧澎湃之際,,他突然拿起正在把玩的沙灘鏟,衝向大海去 @_@

割傷 [熱]

繼寶寶昨晚滑倒撞腫起瘤,蘇海明今晨洗玻璃花瓶時跣手打破花瓶、割傷右手手掌及手指尾,血流如注,好一會過後才止血,案發現場 --- 洗手間 --- 更是血跡斑斑 >_< 今天寶寶的頭上的瘤沒有昨晚的腫,但還是突起來很不舒服的,可幸沒有嘔吐、昏睡的情況。心痛死了,快點好起來吧 ~>_<~

看來我們一家三口本月的運氣均欠佳,我們仨都出意外 =(

希望好運快重臨 *.*

滑倒 [熱]

晚上到夫家吃完端午節晚飯回家才替寶寶洗澡。意外發生了 --- 寶寶洗澡後急不及待要跑回房去,在浴室外大廳的走廊上滑倒!

寶寶大哭,腦後頭上即時腫起一個瘤來,比半個乒乓球還要大,嚇死我了! 我想立即帶寶寶到急症室,蘇海明卻認為已經是晚上十時半,寶寶累得想睡,又沒有其他徵象可分析,到急症室亦沒大作用,現在先讓寶寶休息,明天觀察才決定。爭持不下,但寶寶一離開自己的牀又要哭了,我最後屈服了。

蘇海明在網上找到前人經驗,情況與寶寶的樣同,說到了急症室以後,換來的是一袋冰及遣返回家觀察有沒有嘔吐及昏睡的徵狀。於是我們替寶寶敷冰十五分鐘,寶寶都在叫,我想是很痛的了 =(

敷冰後寶寶就睡了,他是累得很。我不放心,坐在寶寶牀邊陪伴他睡覺。寶寶千萬別出事,媽媽很擔心 ~>_<~

忽然忙碌 [熱]

多天沒出門,今天一出門就去了很多地方、做了很多事。

- 到護協買寶寶的用品
- 到 Hotel W 的 Kitchen 餐廳與何晚珊吃午餐
- 洗牀褥示範,很好但太昂貴了
- 到娘家給媽媽弄電腦及處理寬頻查詢
- 到 APM Hipot 與蘇海明吃火鍋晚餐

晚上回家,寶寶等著我們沒有睡覺。他指著自己在學校做的手工,在嚷著「龍舟、龍舟、扒龍舟!」好罷,明天就帶寶寶看扒龍舟 ... 在電視上 =P

洗牀褥示範公司職員 [熱]

金詩韻早前推介洗牀褥示範,今天該公司的職員打電話來相約示範時間。電話中的職員知道我們家有 BB ,立即問了我好些關於照顧 BB 的問題,原來她有一個八個月的 BB,心中有很多疑問想找人解答! 她越問越興奮,問了近廿分鐘的問題,我都回答了,她似乎很滿意、很高興地掛線了!

看,媽媽們一說到孩子,再陌生也能打開話題 ...

歧視雙職父母 [熱]

莫非將來要為寶寶辭職?!奢望這個升學制度能在寶寶升小學前改革一番 ...

歧視雙職父母
作者 - 木羽飛

沒經過小一叩門面試,也真不知道,原來雙職父母在香港是如此不受歡迎的。

雖沒白紙黑字,但很多學校都傾向錄取有全職媽媽或爸爸照顧的孩子。叩門面試時間是第一關卡,很多學校都把面試日期定在平日,爸媽都得被逼請假出席。如果你是普通打工仔,請假身不由己,那你便得有心理準備,單拖帶孩子面試的父母,成功機會,微乎其微。

到了跟面試主任面談,那主任的笑容,總是帶着三分冷漠。問過一些基本問題後,主任毫不掩飾的用近乎質問的語氣問:「你份工,彈性大嗎?」冷不防被這麼一問,腦裏還在搜索最得體的字詞準備回話之際,主任已機關槍式的補上:「你知啦!我們學校很多活動,極需家長的參與,再者,我們需要大量的義工家長來學校幫忙 ......」

不知是否日有所思,那天夜裏,我竟在夢中經歷了一段極恐怖的景象,我夢見自己被學校老師及公司老闆分屍 ......

誠然,在媽媽的角度,學校愛收全職媽媽的孩子,無可厚非,畢竟孩子有媽媽全天候的照顧和跟進,功課作業默書測驗都理應能跟得足一點,學校老師也就輕鬆一些。只是,這也不代表雙職爸媽一定遜於全職爸媽。我認識一位廿四孝爸爸,經常要加班到深夜,但即使多晚回家,翌晨還是堅持要早早起床跟孩子吃早餐談談天,然後親自送孩子回學校,誰敢說這爸爸不愛錫孩子?

但現實是,這爸爸當年跟孩子面試小一,被老師問及收工時間,爸爸坦蕩蕩的實說實話,「一般是九點半收工。」就是這句真說話,把進入了二輪面試的一家三口掃出學校大門。

真是雙職父母的哀歌。

Conference call [Hot/ Shower/ T3]

同事為我已經把會議延期三次了,不能再拖,於是遙距進行 conference call 。

會議沒怎樣,一個鐘頭就完結了。倒是同事下午給我留言:「你的聲音真的很虛弱!」

當然,因為昨天都在攪肚子,出入洗手間十多次,今天開會前還先跑了一趟洗手間。我已經盡量表現出很「健康」的聲音,不過裝不來也沒法子 =P

Prayer [Hot/ Shower/ T1]

RIP - to the caring little one who has gone silently and gently last Friday early morning ...

"Almighty Father, source of forgiveness and salvation, grant that our relatives and friends who have passed from this life may, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and of all the saints, come to share your Eternal happiness through Christ our Lord. Amen

Eternal Rest grant to then, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.

May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.

May the Lord bless us, may he keep us from evil and bring us to life everlasting. Amen."

再下水 [晴/ 雨]

今天又帶寶寶到佐敦谷嬉水池下水。

下水一刻他依然是叫嚷一番,但他好像認出那「彩虹水滑梯」了,還要自己不斷重覆遊玩 -_-"

今日的突破,就是寶寶能自己浮在水面! 我想他是不自知的 --- 前一刻蘇海明還在橫抱他平放水面,然後鬼馬的縮手了,但寶寶還浮在水面。莫非 BB 真的有浮的本能?

寶寶撞傷 [熱]

寶寶自己不小心在爸爸媽媽家撞前額 =( 嚇得爸爸媽媽連飯都不敢食,立即電召我去看寶寶。

其實是寶寶自己頑皮,不能怪任何人,但媽媽止血的方法真的有待改進 --- 她竟然用了一支過期17年的「止血藥水」去處理傷口 @_@ 雖然以下犯上,還是忍不住「教訓」了媽媽止血的正統方法。

寶寶,你自己哭了以後就像沒事了,我看到你少了一塊皮卻心痛極了 ~>_<~ 請你快點痊癒,當回皮膚幼滑的靚仔寶 ...

康復中 [熱]

寶寶康復了,開開心心上學去 =)

我仍然發燒,又睡了一天,晚上終於退燒了。可是,午夜肚子不舒服、睡不著,凌晨五時多才濛濛瀧瀧地睡著了 ...

Wednesday, June 13, 2012

輪轉 [熱]

寶寶早上起牀就排便了,整天沒再發燒,食慾也好起來,我想他是痊癒了 =)

不過輪到我發高燒,39.3度,睡了一整天,還是39.3度。晚上九時多,到樓下的QH看醫生。醫生一看就說我是細菌感染引致發高燒,要吃五天抗生素 *_*

Tuesday, June 12, 2012

出牙不便惹的禍 [熱/微雨]

寶寶昨天沒吃多少東西,就是再吃了兩次退燒藥。晚上每小時給他量體溫,還是徘徊在38度多發燒,但沒有再到39度多的高燒了。今早一起牀,他是一嘴口水,之後還吐了一堆顏色啡、黃的水,又把我們嚇壞了 >_< 不過這一吐以後,寶寶自己主動地拿著120ml奶喝下去,三分鐘完成,想是太肚餓了。可見這以後就沒有再多吃東西,手指盡是塞進口裡去。

下午帶寶寶去看中醫,田醫師的診症結果是:「他發燒不源於外在,而是在體內。他出牙發熱,卻數天沒大便釋放,谷在體內不適再發熱。這些藥是協助他排便的,你們再幫他揉搓肚子助他的腸動,藥很怏就見效了。」

藥是空肚吃,抵家就給寶寶服下。沒食慾的寶寶當然對藥也沒有興趣、在哭鬧,我們第一次要拑著寶寶手足,用針筒把中藥餵下去。餵了十多「針」,用了廿多分鐘,終於餵完了。我疲憊不堪,像跟人打了一場架,累極了 *_*

一路好走

心跳停了。

小天使,一路好走。

急症 [熱]

早上,寶寶沒退燒,反而燒得更高,39.8度。我正在躊躇應該帶寶寶去看樓下的QH看普通科醫生、看西醫兒科、看中醫還是到急症室去,忽然給我看到寶寶右手臂背上有紅點,像皮下爆血管。想起寶寶學校上星期有K2的學生感染煋紅熱,擔心起來,就(好像)很果斷地決定帶寶寶到急症室去。

在分流站,寶寶見到穿白袍帶口罩的人就大哭了,護士想幫他量脈搏,量了五分鐘也不果,因為大力寶在猛力踢。結果要我和媽媽二人一起拑著寶寶的手足。寶寶仍發燒39.6度,護士確認我上一次塞藥是凌晨四時半,就給寶寶退燒藥塞肛。寶寶被評為「次緊急」,要離開分流站去等見醫生,叫他和護士說再見,他立即停止流淚,忙不及說再見 + 飛吻 -_-"

等看醫生個多小時,感到他又退熱了,人又精神起來,開始指著醫院外的車大叫「救護車!」「私家車!」「的士!」,給他拍照還懂得笑 ...

見醫生,問了一大堆問題,確定不是煋紅熱,可能是喉嚨發炎,觀察兩天持續高燒、食慾不振再求診,處方就是退燒藥,只是用來舒緩不適。

我告訴蘇海明寶寶的情況。「喉嚨發炎?!」,雖然我也有同樣的疑問,不過那是醫生說的。我現在想,會否是寶寶哭得太兇,所以喉嚨紅了?

* * *

寶寶的班主任中午致電來了解寶寶的病況,下午又再打電話來。

「柏睿有一個同班同學今天也發燒沒有上課,他是星期六開始發燒的,到今天還燒著,今早再看醫生,醫生發現同學舌頭上有些粒粒,確認是感染腸病毒。這次打電話來是通知這事,與及請留意柏睿有沒有相似症狀。」

我剛剛才放下心頭大石,現在又擔心了 @_@

發燒總要在晚上 [熱]

寶寶晚餐食慾不振,然後突然發燒! 體溫在半小時間由38度颷升至39.6度,我們不由得給他服下第一次退燒藥。

體溫下降了一點,仍處於發燒狀態,但起碼有精神玩玩具。

三小時過後,藥力開始減退,寶寶又發燒至39度多,半睡半醒中咿咿呀呀地叫,有時在顫抖,加上他在出大牙,水在流,手指往嘴裡撩、撩、撩。時為午夜12時,我們決定給他再服退燒藥。不過這一次比上一次更困難,用針筒往他嘴裡餵藥都給寶寶噴出來,噴得我們一臉都是藥,我想 5ml 給他吐出 3ml 多來。

這一趟,體溫同樣是下降了一點,仍然發燒。至凌晨四時多,又回到39度多,於是我們給他服下第三次退燒藥。下一次藥力減退,就是早晨了。

剪髮 [熱]

是日攝氏三十一度,仿如仲夏 ...

今天決定去剪頭髮。髮型師很努力地想打開話題,但其實我沒有多大心情搭訕,有一句沒一句希望他快點剪完。他是蠻有心機的,一邊說話、一邊用熱板替我慢慢把頭髮夾直,只是我沒有領情罷了。

剪髮後,到麵包店買明天早餐吃的麵包,然後到電訊商查問媽媽家寬頻和電話的安排,再去看寶寶尿片之折扣價格,可算是近日來非常 productive 的一天。

今天看大學寄來電郵的連結,說大學書店將於 6 月30 日結業。

真可惜嘅,沒有書店的大學好像缺少了甚麼似的。

伯伯 BU [晴]

上學途中,風和日麗,於是著寶寶仰頭看看藍天白雲。

寶寶看了,然後掙脫我們握著他的手,一邊跑一邊雙手指向天,口中叫著「伯伯 BU!」...

寶寶,究竟你是想找太陽伯伯還是 BU BU 雲? =P

抱抱 [晴/ 陰]

「抱抱」荷爾蒙 增加正能量
作者 - 劉廣潤

何解有人善良、有人乖張;有人慷慨、有人貪婪;有人信任、有人懷疑?始作俑者,原來是一種名為「催產素」(Oxytocin)的賀爾蒙作祟。

催產素是一種神經傳導物質,由下視丘之視旁核製造,經下視丘腦下垂體路徑神經纖維送到後葉分泌。女性生產時會大量釋放催產素,擴張子宮頸和收縮子宮,促進分娩。分娩後催產素也會刺激乳頭,增加分泌乳汁,更在餵哺母乳時湧入大腦,增進母親與嬰兒關係。但催產素用途非僅於此,研究人員發現它能影響性別吸引、社交互動、焦慮、信任、甚至性高潮等,且對改善部分精神或心理疾病有莫大幫助,如自閉症、社交恐懼症、成癮症等。

研究人員要求受測者參與「信任遊戲」,並利用功能性磁振造影術掃瞄他們的腦部狀況。結果發現催產素會抑制腦部兩個原本充當天然「防衛牆」之區域的活動。 第一個是杏仁核,即腦部處理恐懼與危險的部位;第二個是紋狀體,是腦部憑著過去回饋而指引未來行為的地帶。研究發現一些簡單親暱互動習慣,如親親抱抱,可令體內催產素濃度大增。因此,催產素已被確認可以降低個體的防衛心態與恐懼感受,提高對他人的信任,減少焦慮,促進社交關係發展;更喚起知足的心情,增加平靜的感覺和安全感,故被學界取名為「抱抱化學物質」。

仔細觀察,經常手牽手散步或喜歡依偎在對方身邊的夫婦,他們的人際關係、社交情形都比「相敬如冰」的夫妻好,也比較容易相信別人、對別人慷慨。「抱抱」也不限於兩性,父母子女、朋輩之間,若能不時有表達關愛、親密的小動作,長遠而言,不但有利穩固感情,更重要是緩解精神緊張,預防與壓力相關疾病的發生。

既然「抱抱」荷爾蒙可以產生如斯正能量,那麼聘請僱員、挑選配偶、認識朋友,是否須預先測試他們體內催產素含量,以防不歡而散?

Project completed! [Sunny]

Hurray! After uploading the last batch of 2005 entries, the whole series of Good Dreamer from 2002 are on blogger!

So glad that this mission impossible is finally completed after years *,*

And I just realized earlier this afternoon that I wrote something about speech delivered by Steve Jobs about “Stay hungry. Stay foolish.” on 15 Sep 2005 – I didn’t know that I was such a person of good insight since youth =P

真難過。

MIB III [Sunny]

《MIB III》上畫,和蘇海明踢著拖街、一身街坊裝到樓下戲院去看早場。

那是早上十一時正的首場,怎麼會有這麼多人去看電影?! 他們的樣子都是應該要上班的,難道他們和我們一樣放假? 抑或是 ... 他們「逃工」?

Aqua tots [Sunny]

We kept thinking of applying swimming class for Bo Bo since he was 6 months old, but we always missed the application deadline for those classes offered by YMCA.

We made it finally --- we went to YMCA in person and applied Aqua tots class 19-35 months for Bo Bo =)

Classes will start from 15 July for 11 sessions on every Sunday 17.30 – 18.00. Ming will accompany Bo Bo to attend the class ... yeah ~ *,*

The 1st homework

Bo Bo's first homework done together with Ming papa *,*

下水 [熱/ 雨]

寶寶今年第一次下水,在佐敦谷嬉水池。

寶寶小時候是不怕水的,放他下水處之泰然,還在享受啜他的招牌雙手指。現在大了反而怕水,是驚到震那一種,又要怕、又要玩 -_-" 爸爸決定要和寶寶特訓,天氣好的週末就帶他去游水,練膽量。

游了一小時,突然行雷下雨,於是離開了。一起到淘大的麥當奴吃早餐,寶寶搶了我的橙汁喝光了,還在奸笑 >_< 這就是他和我慶祝母親節的方法 =_=

Anniversary dinner @ Harlan’s [Rainy]

The 4th wedding anniversary.

Good dinner with ad-hoc rain show - by those who sat at the outdoor balcony and rushed back to covered part of the restaurant when rain came all of a sudden!

Super Tuesday [Hot]

Seminar @ Sheung Wan and then full day @ Central office.

Just happened that it's the 2nd Tue of the month – Super Tuesday again! Went for grocery shopping with Ming @ IFC City Super after work ... it has been a while since we did the Super Tuesday shopping the last time!

膝蓋傷痕 [熱]

冤家路窄 [熱]

不是我的冤家,是 auditee 的冤家。

今天兩名 auditees 約我吃午飯,約了中午十二時。十二時零五分,auditee A 在公司的即時通訊系統 (像 MSN 的物體)告訴我 auditee M 仍被他們的上司 GC CFO 扣留中,釋放的時候再通知我吃飯。結果 auditees 十二時四十五分才被釋放,甫見面就吱吱喳喳說 GC CFO 的不是,直到我們走到酒樓去。坐下,auditees 又要開腔之際,忽然見到GC CFO 走進來坐在我們鄰桌 @_@

Auditees 心有不甘地「誠邀」 GC CFO 和我們同檯吃飯,然後整頓飯都是很悶地談論升學問題, GC CFO 還好心地提示我要為寶寶選好名校,做足準備工夫 ... well, it's not my cup of tea, why bother?

下午,auditees 對我說了十萬個對不起,信誓旦旦地說下次吃午飯一家要挑選一個見不到 GC CFO 的地方 -_-"

完結.開始 [熱/ 驟雨]

已經好久好久沒到這裡來。

還是老藉口 --- 工作忙嘛。這次是真的忙,因為被老細看上,在本來那個規模很小但很複雜的項目之外,再委派予秘密任務,連本來計畫了的 BM secondment 也要推遲,都不知是幸抑或是不幸 @_@

有多少年沒有在夜深/ 週末工作了? 這數個月下來,有幾個深夜和週末都在工作,讓我憶起以前在羅先生公司工作的日子。那是多少年前的事? 不打緊,當年青春無敵,現在老了,而且要和寶寶玩,都是在寶寶睡了以後才開工。不過老了的好處,就是可以「恃老賣老」,太眼睏不想工作的時侯,就索性不做了,第二天回公司會報 "I've assessed that, don't think it;s a possible option." =P

隨著四月的完結,有一個報告已經完成兼發出了,另一個嘛 ... 那個有「手尾」,但我的任務大抵也完成了,再幫忙也是義工性質。一切總算告一段落。

期待五月 ... 應該可以回歸舒服的日子 =P

Unusual Sat [Shower]

The life of working during weekend was so remote that I've forgotten when was the last time I did that.

Today, it's not only working on weekend – as I lost my secure token, I had to return to office indeed *_*

17.00-20.00. No more, 3 hours is more than enough.

Bo Bo fell asleep already when I arrived home, and he didn't wake up for his last meal of the day @ 22.00. He must be very tired and missed his mum so much - definitely certain for the 1st half of the statement, but question mark for the 2nd part ...

Dinner with Isabel @ TT Party Party Restaurant [cold]

Was half an hour late for the dinner, as I was stuck by questions from new joiner in office and was not in time to pick up Bo Bo -_-"

Catching up with Isabel, Vienne, Oliver (for the 1st time!) and Vincent at the restaurant. Bo Bo was on spotlight definitely - he was well-behaved, good boy!

假期完結 [涼快]


假期的最後一天,明天要上班了 ... 為什麼假期總是這麼短暫 *_*

不過對於視上學為玩樂的寶寶,這沒有太大影響 --- 今晚他只嚷著要我們一起食梨仔。他得逞了,吃了一口,好好味,好嘢 =)

Happy New Year [Cool]

寶寶新年做的第一件事 --- 看香港最後一屆元旦日煙火表演。寶寶是眼睏極了,但因為有各大「姐姐」支持,怎樣也要堅持到最後一刻;一踏上的士啟程回家,他就睡得像隻豬 =)

午夜十二時半睡著,早上九時半醒來 --- 晚睡晚起,起牀也只因肚餓要喝奶,深得父母真傳 =P

黃昏又出動,到寶馬山去探望兩個多月大的 Davin BB 。Davin BB 要準時飲奶,所以寶寶也準時回家,回程途上還加映「暴走 MTR」 ... 哈哈 ~ 抵家晚上十時吃過「宵夜」,寶寶便抱頭大睡 - Happy 2012 ~
