#兩天也沒人理我,網絡人情冰冷到零下十八度了嗎?!
Facebook status: 吼,都兩天了,你們有沒有關心一下我的夢想,是我的朋友嗎?
#有零星回應。人間尚有情嘛!
昨天就想好了,一個回應也沒有的話,我就寫「天哪!我怎麼孤獨到沒朋友!」
故事從明天開始說!

Don't worry about the traditions and etiquette, life is always full of fun. Just come and enjoy it.
Couple of weeks ago, on my friend Brian's wedding, his 5-year-old cousin was arranged to give him the wedding ring. Notwithstanding the traditions, his mischievous cousin held the ring tray tightly and didn't let it go. The groom tried his very best but the ceremony was heading towards an awkward deadlock. People gave a flower ring to the boy, in order to exchange it for the real one, but the boy had his own idea. He said, "keep the flower ring as it matches a girl, and I would rather keep the 'manlike' one". All the audience couldn't help but break into tremendous laughs. Luckily, the wedding ceremony was eventually successful.
Cheers,
May
Corporate culture is a set of values, beliefs, and relationships between individuals and a company.
In my workplace, the objectives of our company have been stated on the board at the entrance. All the guidelines and protocols have been drafted and are under a periodical review. Our contingency plan guild decisions of the company in order to achieve our objectives.
As we are a pharmaceutical company, every step was undergone to restrict regulation. Meanwhile, my boss advocates team spirit and effective communication, he encourages the blending of tradition and contemporaneity. My corporation sooner mixed a hierarchical culture with a mutual association. A number of meetings have been encountered for continuous quality improvement, both in personnel and production.
Dear Robot Robert,
I bet you won't believe that Tim, your master, suddenly has an ability to read people's minds after a car accident he had two years ago.
After undergoing a lot of investigations and surgeries, including CT scan and MRI scans, the scan image of his brain looks perfectly normal. Nobody can explain the phenomenon, including doctors and psychiatrists. How come he has been gifted with this special ability after a serious head injury. God knows .
Tim keeps reading people's minds, and his behavior really irritates and embarrasses all my staff and other patients. He drives everybody crazy. As you are his best friend, I really hope you can come and bring him home as quick as you can. Thanks a lot!
P.S. I guess he already knows you will come to the hospital as he just walked by my office, he is watching me ......

My favorite book is 'Good Luck', by Alex Rovira and Fernando Trias de Bes. It talks about how to make one's own fortune and success.
I finished this book in an afternoon. The story is about two knights who try to find magic four-leaved clovers in an enchanted forest. One of them finally has a lot of four-leaved clovers because he sets up a suitable environment for clovers to grow, while the other knight just waits and walks around.
I especially like the Chinese translated name of the book: 'When Luck Knocks Your Door'. I can't agree any more with the point 'luck will knock every one's door, the difference is whether you adequately prepare yourself or not. " It all talking about creating the condition to success. It implies to everyday's living and I recommend this book to all of my friends, including you.
With regards to China's culture, I would like to mention the plum blossom first. It is our national flower.
The plum blossom overcomes the barren winter, and blooms in the early Spring. It keeps its integrity thoughtout the worst weather, and finally offers its light fragrance. It's never as eye-catching as other flowers, but it has its own purity.
The plum blossom is a symbol of perseverance and also a metaphor for modesty. We advocate these characters to our society and so to our culture. No matter how much change China has undergone, we keep our beliefs and our traditions to our future generations.
It's my forth face-to-face lesson, we just chat about the rainy day pastimes. The following are some brilliant sentences I've learned today.
I have to use them as much as I can.
It drives me up the wall.
It drives round the bend.
I like to get involved.
I don't mind getting my hands dirty.
It's sink or swim for us.
I was thinking of having a go at rock climbing. (try)

Mother

Son

Father

: Joe Chan ( <--father's name) (Father

Why don't you just tell your own name instead?
That's dad's question, he won't agree with me if I answered in this way .
