Yesterday is my girl friend’s birthday.
We have a nice dinner and celebration. (i hope the dinner is good… at least better than the gift.)

Today, I heard the sound: Into my arm. by Nick Cave.
 I’m looking for this CD in some where. Because it is really cool and reflected my feeling in some ways.

前天和女朋友看了”穿Prada惡魔”。

http://www.devilwearspradamovie.com/

比想像中合理流暢，值得一看。
就算我這”時裝盲”也能投入當中；
亦因為這一種投入感，以至到了片末的時候，心裹泛起了一絲的不滿…

” 妳為何不鬧爆那臭婆娘呀!!! ”

忽然想起，
雙比起來，
那個”穿夢凸嬌的barcode”也不是那麼差吧!

但無論如何，管它的!

我想”工作”對員工而言，不外乎四種誘因導致員工仆心仆命吧。

一，人工
人工=雇員的生活必需+雇員於雇主心中的價值

二，學習
今時今日我們真的面對不進則退的世界。
沒有值得學習的地方；
亦是，沒有值得留下的地方。

三，開心
1曰有24小時，假設:
工作8小時(但大多已是工作12小時)。
睡覺8小時(但大多僅僅睡6小時)。
朝見口晚見面；
見親就濃口濃面；無水洗面。
或是假公正；假正義的假道學；
但假到無人不知；
你無野呀！不倦的? 咪攪!

四，將來
正所謂花無百日紅，人總要為將來打算的。
不是好高慕遠.
但總不能混混錥錥，混到五六十歲仍要爬高爬底。

共勉之!

It is a good Music Video website which I almost visited in everyday.

Play some good music in office and see some interesting MV.

I love it.

Check this out!!!

Last Friday, I was lucky as a tutor in School of Design to teach degree subject:
Interactive Media Design.

After my lecture, we have invited Michael Chu, a Designer in Japan, graduated from UCLA, he is a chinese but he could speak in english and japanese fluently. I just know 1 or 2 people could have this such good language ability. He is the nice one, but the other guys are too pounding…
Anyway, he got a lot of interesting working experience in US and Japan. His study path is interesting. Start as a graphic designer focus on typography, then 3D graphics and web media, and now, he is more shifted on the digital media. I think he is a good example for me and most of my students.
There is some of links about him.

His personal website:

His current company’s website:

• Article
• Blog

14. 在一條筆直的街道被人追殺，盡管有很多事要做，但弄翻兩旁的小攤是最重要的！

15. 好人用暗器是形式所逼，多才多藝，一擊必中；壞人用暗器是卑鄙無恥，旁門左道，扔死了都扔不中……
