Work-life balance 2

"Work-life balance is a person’s control over the conditions in their workplace. It is accomplished when an individual feels dually satisfied about their personal life and their paid occupation. It mutually benefits the individual, business and society when a person’s personal life is balanced with his or her own job."

I like this chart very much. It reminds us of other important things in life. Can you strike a balance between all these elements in life?

“Work to live. Don’t live to work.”

A busy August, hopefully

There'll be two big events in August and the third one is still not confirmed. I've been waiting for their phone call since the first meeting this Saturday. Feel really anxious and hope I could receive good news from them.

Don't be misunderstood that they are related to my career. Since the bad experience in the last job, I realise that we can be fed up easily if we expect ourselves to achieve anything in jobs. Remember, working your best to get what you deserve is just a myth. It can turn out to be something totally out of your control. So now I've learned not to even think about promotion ans stuff.

Well, go back to my summer plan. These events are what I'm really desperate to try out. And I want to have some fun before going back to work in Sept.

Tell you more about these events later.

Happy Anniversary!

Earthquake

I believe there'll be a big "earthquake" in my workplace. Well, as always, somebody leaving means there'll be more workload for those who stay behind. That's the experience I had in my last job. And for sure, the morale will be much lower as well.
But there's one more thing -- I always wonder why don't the bad ones leave and the good ones stay?
Though you may think it's a good opportunity for me, I don't think the same. I just want to have a stable job with not-too-much workload, just like what I have this year.
Hope it will be the same next year! Arman.

Orchard Garden Cafe & Restaurant 風月堂

I just can't forget the dessert there since last Wednesday. I visited 風月堂 again last evening with Clark in heavy rain (obviously we didn't know that the black rainstorm signal was hoisted!). We enjoyed the excellent food and interior design just with a very reasonable price.
The main dishes were just as good!

Delicious desserts after going to gym on Wednesday.

Just finished...

I've just finished marking the F. 5 mock papers and all the F.5 classes are finished.
I've just finished the 2-year MA course (don't need to attend classes in the evenings anymore :-) although there're still two assignments left).
I've just finished a big drama performance.
It's the day that I've been looking forward to.
But I feel a bit blue after all the tense moments.
So what's next?
