Minibus 33

Since I moved to this place that I lived for the past 20 years, there was a minibus which has it's stop in front of my door front and connected the neighborhood to Kowloon city. All my secondary school life relied on this minibus, and for a long time I have been secretly gratified for having such a way to get to the legendary Kowloon city which holds so much of my fond memories that contributed so much in shaping myself as a person that I am today.

Because of the high running costs, it's operator stopped running this line, together with it's other two siblings, 33A and 33M - which these two will be preserved, but 33, which I guess being the first line of the three, was going to join the matters of nostalgia.

It's due on the 30th of September , 2011 and I felt kind of regretful for not able to find time to take a ride on that day. I know I am going to miss it.

Titles are Vanity

Let's not think about Creative directors are superior to Art directors, Art directors are superior to Designers and so forth - it is merely a ladder that big corporations made up to create a little carrot in front of their employees.

Don't be clouded by this illusion! No one would say a desert chef is inferior to a soup chef only because desert is served later in a meal. Remember, each of these "titles" are in fact a DIFFERENT profession that none of them are superior to the others - there are countless masters in all of these fields spending their life perfecting their skills.

Happy New Year!

Have a good one everyone!

Being Happy

To some of my friends I am happy person, or "the sunshine boy" that they described. Well, to some of my other friends, they see a darker side of myself - worry about the future, nostalgic with the 'good old days', failed relationships, the urge to achieve something before I hit 30, etc.. I suffered a really hard time when I first came back to Beijing 3 months ago that I felt I have no friends, and that surprised almost all of my friends.

Well, in contrary, I had a great day yesterday. Don't ask me why because I don't know. To investigate into this myself today I think I have done some of the things that mentioned below, the five ways to happiness:

1/ connect

2/ be active

3/ take notice

4/ keep learning

5/ give

There are subtitles for 15 languages so don't worry about whatever language the speaker uses.

I strongly recommend anyone to spend some time seeing some of the videos that interests them most. Guaranteed to be more interesting then soap operas.

And another great video also about happiness, that I want to share to some of my unhappiest friends:
