Motto

The motto of one of my schools was Carpe Diem, which is Latin for Seize (not "cease", as corrected by m_whiz) the Day.

I think I even blogged about it before.

Today, someone told me of the motto of a very hard working man.
"Past is Gone. Future is Unsure. Today is Living. Try your Best!"

True, very true. In sum, Carpe Diem.

Mr. Hung Chung Yam is the regional director of a famous insurance company. He stopped studying at Form 2 (Grade 8), and did many jobs before landed in an insurance company. Needless to say, his life hasn't been easy. However, with his achievement today, at age 42, he decide to take the HKCEE (public exam for Form 5 or Grade 11) this year. He started studying night school 3 years ago and had lot of tutoring.

Good man. I hope he succeed.

Long Weekend

Haven't had one those for a while.
This has been quite a relief for me. A major hurdle is out of the way. My working is ending soon. Haven't been able to do so much of nothing for a while.

I had planned so spend some time with someone. Too bad that person was caught up with something. Oh well. Plenty of time to come.

The next big question is coming. Job.
Strange enough. I have been quite calm lately. Quite a contrast to my normally stressed self lately. I missed the Golden Opportunity to become... a bus driver. Don't laugh! I actually think I might like the job. As a job, at least, not a career.

Picked up 3 VCD for $33 (4.25 US). Nope, not counterfeits. Fully copyrighted. Good deal. Yes, they are not DVDs, but considering that I am using a 15" LCD screen to view them, the difference is not noticeable. Moreover, I don't have to worry about the damn regional code thing.

One more day to go with my short break! What to do? Job hunting! Yeah!
