being a friend

Addiction on facebook made me rethink the idea of friend.

 

What does it really means when you have a friend?

 

As the music goes...........You've got a friend.

 

while i was in high school, i clearly knew that who was my friend and who was my classmate. I do think i am a person with many friends. according to my definition.

 

Now adays, everyone got at least 100 "friends" in facebook, twitter.

I like the wording used by flickr more - a contact.

 

Although i knew all "friends" in facebook, most of them are merely "contacts".

 

There are people that i really want to make them my friends, where we share our moments, thoughts, believes, views. Yet it's really difficult. We all spend so much time commenting on each others' post yet we never get to tell them our thoughts directly. Because we did already, through all those web20 tools.

 

Love the quote by Merlin Mann (writter of 43 folders):

 

If you need to appear on an internet list to know whether you're someone's friend, you may have problems a computer can't solve.

 

am i your friend?

p.s. i am sure if my mom got facebook, she'll have > 1000 friends insted of contacts!

the night before

Will finally be performing an operation on my heart.

The whole arrangement is really smooth and i feel so peaceful.
There's something i wanna do during the whole "experience"
1. take some pictures (using pictures to express my inner feelings)
2. write about the whole story as a sharing, to show how i experience peace and joy through the care of God.
3. Sleep more
4. haha, hopefully can clear the dvd queues at home.

I felt really happy and warm to receive all those messages, guys!!

See you later!

5 hours of freedom

As i wrote before, i hate being a pager support. Besides needing to wake up in the middle of the night, it's more about the loss of freedom in your private time. You better not go out or it's gonna be so troublesome if you need to fix something in the middle of an event.

Yet i've been looking forward to watching this play (sort of like a musical) this sunday, so i decided to give myself a break. A 5 hour break on sunday.

1230, i started my journey to central, loads of foreigners are already wearing shorts and t-shirts because of the hot weather, giving me a holiday mood. Took start ferry to tst for the first time (from the new pier). There were few people, strong breeze with the sunshine. I finally recognized the smell of freedom from that moment. I felt soooooo relaxed, free from obligations and everything while i was on the ferry.

had lunch at watami with my friend, i ordered cheese tofu which was really good, so soft and creamy and of coz very cheesy!

rushed to cultural theatre for the show - a piece of wood.

sad

it's simply sad to see people you care and love suffering so much.......

again, nothing i could do but cast all my worries to god. I know he's gonna take care of it!

live simply, that others may simply live

We're living in a complex world,
everything seems complicated.

even when something appear minimalistic, it's actually a not that simple.

BB車的BB車

This morning while waiting for a HAS bus, i saw a family getting off the cathay HAS bus.

The couple got a really cute little girl (at the age of about 5) in a pink flowery dress with a sweet white cardigan. Her mom was busy taking care of the folded baby car for her, while she is occupied with her own mini baby car with her favourite teddy bear sitting in it.

It was such a sweet picture! I think probabaly every little girl dream of being a mother since they're still sitting in their own baby car.

New way of reaching dragonair house

Today i wanna tell you about my new route from Home to Office which is gonna save me $3.0 every journey (only from home to office)

Haha, here is how it goes:

early in the morning

Wanted to write a short post every morning before i start my work. (i'll see whether i can keep this up, haha)

Recently, in love with Bossa Nova.

yea! I'm listening to it day and night....on my way to work, off work.....i am just really attracted by the relaxing atmosphere created by those fun brazilian yet the details in those lines...

I haven't seen Katy for ages...just do not understand why people can be sooo busy with...work?

Glad that March of the penguins won the Oscar!

Knowledge management kmkmkm

Ever think of using a good way to record the knowledge you got?

It's really important and worth to make sure you got your own repository for knwoledge (sometimes just information..hehe, coz you can't even remember them).

por ma heidi

last night when i was in pnshop myself wanting to get some 玄米茶.

there was a pack (brand of HK) which is $17.7 and the one of a japanese brand which is $29.9. I stood there for 5 minutes. my brain goes........

17.7 for 20 bags, 29.9 for 25 bags

both of them on sale, originally 17.7 >> 25.5, 29.9 >> 34,.5

another 3 minutes passed.

Finally, i got the 17.7 one............and now i realized i am a different heidi.

(i am sure my dad and mom's gonna be so glad about this...)
