State Of Mind

27/7/06(thur)

今年書展,我只買了幾本書,三本是在花千樹買的,分別是張五常的《大哉斯道》、舒巷城的《文學》和《徐志摩傳》(只是十元,不得不買)。在攤位中,見到葉海旋總編,不能入花千樹做,真是可惜。

現正看《大哉斯道》,看了三分一左右,十分吸引,張教授寫的〈求學奇遇記〉十分有趣,由兩歲開始說起,張教技兒時甚少讀書,不喜歡上學,常常逃學,卻學會了不少的旁門左道,卻是興趣所在。

而前言的一段話也十分具反省作用:

七歲時讀到一篇文章,說一個老人坐在墳場獨自遐思, 回顧平生,發覺自己一事無成,日暮黃昏,快要埋在地下,恨不得自己年輕時有所振作,做出一點什麼,但時日不再,不禁悲從中來。這故事對我有深遠的影響:為恐老來不能給自己作個交代,我嘗試又嘗試,不斷地為自己有興趣的玩意爭取,今天,對自己有了交代,沒有什麼值得遺憾的。

回想自己我興趣是什麼呢?好像沒有什麼是自己非常之沉醉的,什麼都三分鐘熱度,之後就沒有了。想看電影、演唱會、戲劇,但要有錢才行。真不想做一個對自己沒有交代的人。

在書展中,我為公司擔任sell公司的補充練習,練習多種多樣,不單止購買的家長眼花撩亂,作為新職員的我也要熟悉練習的名稱、內容及特點。家長內來這個攤位,大部份也是有心買的,不用硬sell,略為介紹一下,也會買幾本了。除了以前做了一星期的暑假工之外,也是第一次sell東西。六天的工作,用氣、用聲不當,有呼吸困難之感。

I’m reading:

張五常的《大哉斯道》

I’m listening:
1.Still that one -Jason Mraz《Mr. A-Z》
2.Jack Johnson 《Curious George》

I’m looking forward:
1.this sat>>a better rest and see all my best frd in fellowship

2.build a better relationship with colleagues, adopt and do better in my new job

潔雯子生日

25/7/2006 (星期二)

自從書展之後,真的十分疲倦,上班都遲了十分鐘,但當我回到公司,我的同事卻比我更遲,哈哈,十家都十分辛苦了。
昨天是7月25日,是潔雯子的生日,十分開心。晚上和nickita(潔雯子)、宛宛和潔雯子姐姐一起吃飯,我們到了九龍城金寶泰國菜館吃飯,叫了很美味的食物,除了一樣是不好吃,其他的也真的是不錯,又有甜品和生日蛋糕。潔雯子姐姐31/7也去歐遊了,真快樂。很久沒見宛宛,仍是那個樣子。潔雯子明天約了中七的同學食飯,但我跟他們…差了一些東西,總是覺得不太夾,雖然同佢地一齊都是開心快樂的。其實回想起來,也很少跟潔雯子慶祝生日,好像除了剛剛識那一年,佢生日有同佢慶祝,之後的幾年也沒有和她慶祝,生日正日慶祝開心些。本來約了亞大一起的,但亞大去泰國工幹,那麼我們便吃泰國菜,感覺和他一起吧。由九龍城回旺角,行了一會。而Oscar由遠道致電給我,和他談了好一會兒,明天就是他生日,他的Ireland Friend已安排跟他舉行一個party,感覺真好。行了不久,已經很累,便回了家。

工作小記

這幾天做書展,其實是一個sell書的人吧。六天之中要返五天,包括了星期六、日,去不到吊墨魚,十分不開心。

我的新工是在教育出版社做Marketing Executive,同事們都十分年輕,他們好似已經十分close似的,我總是像跟他們格格不入似的,他們時常細細聲說話,我相信他們不是說我,但感覺很怪,可能是因為以前在學校有什麼都可以自由地說,也不怕別人聽。
他們跟其他新同事及Temp也說得上嘴,就是很少跟我說話,唉...所以有些不開心。也許是怕他們不喜歡我吧。

I have been working 3 days in that company. So relaxing in these 3 days because some staff are busy on organising HK book fair next week and some staff are wait this function to come. As they mentioned, we need to work and sell educational books in book fair everyday. If you will go to book fair, you will find me at the counter 5B on 5th floor(children area).

This job will organize different kind of function for the teachers, principle and liaise good relationship with schools. I need to wear some good-looking dressing but I kindly accept it because I understand that marketing executive should do that.

Oscar arrived Ireland and he is fine on everything as I see. He found a house near his favourite—Instinct and his best friend. Also he may go Iceland in Nov! He still care us and send me a message. Yeah! So happy!



Happy birthday to Kityan!

New job(11/07/06)

Yesterday, I got an interview in “Education Press” in Tsuen Wan. When they ask me to interview the position of “sale executive”, I can imagine that I need to go to different school to sell the educational textbook. For me, it’s ok to be a sale but I know that sale is a extremely hard job. As Nickita is so tough, she still worked stressful. Certainly, I understand selling educational textbook is easily than other commercial products.

The HR staff and Sales and marketing Manager interviewed me for a hour and they asked so much questions to challenge me.
Why you work TA for half year and quit? Do you think you are wasting your time?
Do you have a clear career target in your life?
Do you sure that you are tough to be a sale?

These are difficult question for me actually. When the manager ask me “What kind of interview you took recently?” I answered “some PR, sales and marketing job. Some PR and marketing jobs are related to writing, I’m interested in it so much.” She said “We also want to hire a person in marketing post on writing catalogue and holding some events” My eyes are shining!!! I told her I interested in this and I’m dare to say “ To be honestly, if you allow, I really want to be marketing executive.” She asked me “when can you start to work?” I said “tomorrow” and she smiled “ Wednesday la” She can’t find her head as her head was holding a meeting. She told me “you will start working on Wednesday but HR will phone you and confirm you tomorrow.”

I wait and wait, HR Miss Li phoned me today and said “We offer you the post of marketing executive, 5 day work, from 8:30 to 5:30, 3 months probation”

I’m glad that I have this chance to get this job. I meet this job by chance and certainly I trust it organized by my God. I know I will like this job because it is the job I want to find in these 4 months.

I quitted from Saint Too Canaan College from18/3/06 and searching nearly 4 months. My emotion is dramatically up and down in this period. Sometimes, I will think I really so poor that No company accept me and No offer can be provided? Or am I so strange that so much work that I don’t interested in? Am I ready to work after graduated?

Add oil and Enjoy this work, Money!

Thanks for all my friends ! Your kindly care and encourage in this painful period.Everythings become bright! Light Up Our Life!

It’s lucky that I have a chance to do a written test in a design magazine, called IDN. Their shop and production house is located in Wan Chai and they sell different kind of magazines and design production. They want to find the right candidates to be communication and account executive. I knew I have no chance because they required excellent English and some candidates are graduated from foreign country. There is a great place for me and the director is charming so much although he is not handsome. Designers are always charming in my mind. Hope Oscar and Gavin also become designers in the future.
Even though I knew I can enter this company, I think I still visit that shop later because it’s so interesting and selling the special graphic t shirt.

Night, spent a hour to talk telephone with Kate, she really like talking telephone from F1 to now.
Joined the spiritual practice with Tracy Mok, siu k, Cheery, Yee outside the Maritime square and I enjoy it so much.

Really thanks Kityan, Man and Siu Ying! I like Jason Mraz CD so so so much!!!! Extremely addicted to him!!!!! I like different song style eg Hip Hop, sad song and Jazz mixed in one album! How good is it!!

Oscar arrived Ireland for 2 days but he haven’t phone us and he seems never know we will miss him Hey guy, send email back ar!!!!

Clint and Oscar leave HK today.
Afternoon, they phone me to have lunch at pizza hut in maritime square. Clint pay for us. Then we stay at Oscar’s home and wait until 5.00.Oscar called a van for Clint because it is difficult to take a bulky luggage on the common bus. I buy an Uno for Clint as a present and he give me a hug before he get on the van. He promised he will come HK next year and I promised I will go Disney with him next year!

Clint is our mandarin teacher and he just like our close friend even we meet just several day.

Oscar go back home to pack his luggage and I rush to join Kate in Kwai Fong in order to buy CD player for Oscar. Kate found that today is the last day to take new ID card, thus we go to Tsuen wan and we buy a cheap cong CD player for him. We go back Tsing Yi and go to airport with Oscar. We eat something in the airport and wait half hour for aboarding. Until 11.15, Oscar left us again!

I’m little bit upset although I know he will return few month later!



This Golden week is passed. Great fun!
