The nice thing about having a blog is, you can look back at your past, and be amused or touched by what you had been through.  Slighly more than 10 years ago, my bucket list is something like this: 1)  I would like to start a social enterprise 2) Do something about proverty overseas 3) Teach in a school with the highest FA pupils  4) Tour Europe  I have reached the "不惑之年",不惑can be loosely translated as "not easily tempted or confused", I feel that is a nice word of saying "losing your dreams" Nonetheless, I have decided that helping my pupils as much as I can, is a social e ..read more

Random thought: Losing and coping with the disappointment

 Not talking about losing money in investment here. Is about my kids losing a competition. Regular readers would know I coach volleyball in my school, and I enjoyed it a lot. The kids give it their best too. They came for morning trainings, some reaching school as early as 6.30 a.m. They asked for recess practice and came 15 min before CCA starts.  I have a group of committed and passionate pupils.  Hence the disappointment when they cannot reach the top 4. The format of NSG has changed, such that last year top 8 schools will start playing each other from the start, called the p ..read more

Random thoughts: Are u caregiving or care "showing"

This not really a rattle, but rather some uncomfortable observation. When someone is hospitalised, it is important to show care and concern, but if the patient is weak, the hardwork comes after the patient is discharged, and caregiving kicks in. Everyone want to rush to the hospital at the first timing, to show concern, family members sit in the ward for hours doing nothing except wear themselves tired. When the nurses and doctors are around, and conditions are stable, "showing" continue to seem to take more importance than "giving" Care showing can do a lot more harm, if u shoot off your m ..read more

这里是天堂? 是? 我可以到处走走吗? 当然。 需要注意什么?有规则吗? 没有。 我...不知道从哪里开始  我陪你。 风景真好,躺在草地上舒服。 是的。 这里有我最喜欢的小贩美食呢! 请享用。 为什么远处还有高楼,工厂? 别人的天堂。 为什么他们吃山珍海味? 他的渴望。 这样不公平!天堂也分阶级吗? 天堂人人可到。 我要换,我要过去,凭什么? 要先绕人间  去就去!  ..read more

Random Babbling Again: An Update Exiting Equity for Private Property I finally took the plunge. I believe I can get a better yield with my cash in equity. The last time I calculated, my average portfolio yield was around 4-5%. Not fantastic, considering the high interest rates on various fixed income instruments, but that's the yield I've been getting for the past 6-7 years, not just the recent 2 years. With Hong Kong in a bear market, I believe there are plenty of opportunities for trading gains too. However, I decided to go with my spouse's desire to leave behind a private property for ..read more

Random thoughts: Flashbacks

Flash back 1 When I was perhaps 6? My elder brother had a high fever in the night. My mum brought him and I to the 24 hour private hospital at balestier. When told it will cost $60 to see the doctor, not including cost of medicine, my mother just left. On our way back, my mother keep scolding my elder brother. I thought to myself then: why wasn't my brother health more important than money? I figured out perhaps, she didn't have more than $50 with her then, she must be also very frustrated.  Flash back 2 Since I was in my lower primary school days, my dad has been in and out of hospital ..read more

您的过世,是这两周, 我听到第三个离世的消息了。 我知道你热爱生活,爱分享。 你对退休生活有研究 。 不只是经济上,人人乐道的三管齐下(3 taps), 还有精神上,社交上的活跃。 你现身说法,告诉大家,即使是运不佳,市场还是会再给你机会。 自从双亲走后,我就告诉自己要活得精彩,活得充实,过得愉快,坦然。 最近,又让我觉得, 我们奋力拿起一切, 也要潇洒放下。 我们对周围的人好, 更要对自己好。 体恤他人,也要珍惜自己。 毕竟,人生路,我也过半了。 那些伤感的人,要哭就哭。 哭了就笑吧。 生活让你想破口大骂的事,如果忍不住,就发泄发泄,然后放下,明天再爱,再精彩。 别辜负此生。 朋友,我只和你见面几次,但我觉得你也过得精彩,潇洒走一回了  ..read more

This is not a post about investment. Is about volleyball, the CCA I am in charge of. This is my second year coaching, until today, I am still learning how to do better.  I must first explained, coaching and playing are 2 different things. Having played since secondary till my uni days at competitive level means I have a rather good understanding of the game, but it only help so much. Coaching is like management, what u want to do with the sessions, how you organise the kids, what role they play, what strategy to use, and most importantly, how to get the basics right.

随心笔:原来爱

原来过多的疼爱, 对孩子造成的伤害, 比没有爱,还要大 。 认识一些没人疼, 或者少人疼, 或者没人管的孩子。 他们都有些怪癖, 脾气坏,不说话, 故意跟你对着干, 但是你关心他们, 他们知道。 什么都顺着孩子的父母, 功课可以不做, 学校可以不来, 因为孩子闹一下, 就肯定是忧郁了, 辛苦了。 孩子就会自我, 什么都要顺着他, 完全吃不起苦。 我希望我错了。 但是,往往这样下去, 孩子一事无成,手不能提笔, 肩不能扛包袱。 我希望我错了,但是几年来看到的,都是如此 。 家里无人,还是再婚数次,不管环境多糟。我都觉得他们又可爱的一面,让人心疼的一面。 是你们的孩子,我与他们的缘分很短。 你的业,你自己承担吧。 孩子无罪,大人无知。 真心疼孩子吧。 如果不能,就别管他吧。 别到行逆之,孩子变成你的爸。 爱的教育,变成了堕的实验。 ..read more

随心笔:味道、仪式篇

味道篇 人生如味,酸甜苦辣咸。 所谓五味杂陈,多有贬义。 五位杂陈,才是圆满人生吧。 咖啡,就有苦,酸,甜。 味道过盛,对身体无益。 唯一例外,唯有苦涩。 然,我们都厌恶苦味。 身上散发的,都是酸味。 酸葡萄。 也许嘴上不说,你羡慕别人的还少了? 切莫让酸葡萄,变成了铜臭味。 五味,淡淡即可。 所谓甜丝丝,就是如此。 仪式篇 仪式很重要。 仪式,是一种提醒,让自己牢记,让别人莫忘。 祭奠仪式,就是莫忘祖先。 仪式,也是一种尊重,表示我们的重视。 毕业仪式,对那些勤奋学习,学有所成的学生表示重视,鼓励。 提醒其他人孜孜不倦地学习。 仪式,是一种提醒,一种重视,一种尊重。 莫忘了,仪式背后,提醒什么?重视什么? 莫要本末倒置了。 新年迎春,提醒什么?尊重什么? 谁的屋子布置华丽吗? 能吃上最美味奢华的大餐吗? 红包的行情很重要吗? 还是提醒我们破旧迎新, 记得布比受有福? ..read more
