Team dinner with my new boss for the first time in person. During the meal, trying so hard to curry favour with the boss and his lady. I welcomed them with enthusiasm that bordered on toadying. I have no shame.
After the sewing lesson, we decided to get the sewing machine. Practice makes perfect. Not trying to be perfect but at least, learning different techniques and improving the sewing skill.
Visited a conference where I thought that I could meet like-minded people. Unfortunately, I didn’t encounter any. The conference is full of money-makers who do nothing meaningful via the use of Blockchain.
Is it going to be user-friendly, environmentally-friendly? Is it going to be a decentralized, distributed and public digital ledger that is used to record transactions which the record cannot be altered retroactively without the alteration of all subsequent blocks and the consensus of the network?
Is it easy to destroy the traditional values of the current banking system ? All bankers, wealth managers are with one goal, how to generate more assets…Could they be eliminated ?
To share values, to record transactions transparently and to monitor each other so no one could be the monopoly. So politically correct but the execution is far from reality. Those who have enough, keep wanting more. New tech innovation never means that we are healthier, kinder, richer.
Mom visited China and came back, she secretly hid her left hand while we were having dinner at the restaurant. She got infections while she was cooking and she scratched the skin without proper disinfection. After 2 doctors’ consultations, I had to take her under my control, constantly checking if she scratched her skin again, timing her medication schedule, and cooking healthy for her.
During the weekend, I took my mum to support my friend’s oriental belly dance performance and Mom fo
rgot about her itchy hand during the night, we enjoyed the night and took the ferry back home.
We hiked to Sai Wan Ho Fort Morning Trail, and Mom was angry and reluctant to walk upwards. When we were at the top, I shared the signs of history with Mom and she started to bring up memories of my grandpa. Being part of the counter-Japanese guerrilla force and during the war, how cruel the Japanese army was and how tactful my grandpa was, to fight and protect against the bloodshed.

第一次同新老闆一齊吃團隊晚餐，面對面相聚交流。食飯期間，我努力想取悅老闆同佢太太，熱情得幾乎好似個馬屁精咁，真係毫無羞恥之心。
上完縫紉課後，朋友決定買一台縫紉機。熟能生巧！不係要做到完美，但至少可以學習不同的技巧，提高縫紉水平。
我參加左一個會議，以為可以遇到志同道合的人，結果並非想像咁發生。會議上全部都係一些靠區塊鏈賺錢既人，根本無利用區塊鏈做出有意義既事情。這個技術會不會友好、環保？佢會唔會係一個去中心化、分佈式或者公開的數字帳本，用來記錄一些重要存檔而係無法隨意更改也不影響後續所有區塊和網絡共識的交易？
要摧毀當前銀行系統的傳統價值是咪咁容易？所有既銀行家和財富管理層都有一個共同的目標，就是點樣可以賺更多的資產……佢哋會否被淘汰呢？
分享價值、透明地記錄交易，互相監督，咁樣就唔會出現有人壟斷的情況。聽起來都幾政治正確，但實際執行卻相差甚遠。那些已經擁有的人，總係會想要更多。新的科技創新並不意味著我地會更健康、更友善或更富有。
媽咪到中國探親完回港，食飯果時靜靜地藏起隻左手，原來佢係整餸的時候受感染，抓傷了皮膚卻沒有好好消毒處理。睇左兩次醫生之後，我不得不全程照顧佢，時刻檢查佢有無又抓傷，計算用藥時間，同埋我負責煮健康飯菜俾媽咪食。
週末我帶媽咪去支持朋友的肚皮舞表演。當晚，媽咪無抓痕癢隻手，我地都幾享受愉景灣風情，晚餐後就搭渡輪回家。
我同媽咪行左西灣河炮台晨運步道，媽咪對上斜坡有微言，佢覺得自己無能力上山。但到達頂部時，我和媽咪分享歷史的標誌，令佢想起爺爺的回憶。談到爺爺曾經是抗日游擊隊的一員，戰爭中日本軍隊的殘酷，以及爺爺的機智，佢開始分享爺爺為左保護中國、家人，避免傷害無辜而戰鬥的事蹟。
