Today In Tokyo Then Osaka

This morning, I feel so glad to have the chance to experience the live and act like a Japanese. In the morning rush over, everybody walks so fast, towards every where. And for me, I walked coolly towards Shimbashi station going towards Tokyo station.
If you have been to Tokyo, then you know how many subways, and trains they have, and without the need to search for line after line, and using their subway card, it is very nice feeling, just like part of the local community, in the rush hours, walking towards the office. Except that I do not wear my suits like them, black and white, most of the times. You know I am always different.

And then this afternoon, rushed to Osaka and just had one of the best Okonoyaki, Japanese Pizza and some tepanyaki, very nice and good taste. I like it.

note: As i was was walking along the districts and looking at some elderly Japanese ladies, so, as usual, were nicely dressed and always look good. Some of them always like to dress and look young, even though they can be of my mother's age (if I still had one....). As I walked by, I was just wondering, how were they look like 20 years ago, what is in their mind. I am also looking at myself, and 20 years down the road, would I behave like that? How would the next generation and the next next generation think of me? What would be my life experiences by then.........what life stories do I have then................Many things come to my mind. that is perhaps life.....and age waits for no body................time passes, haha. But I think one important thing is life experiences itself, whether it is rich with lots of flavours...

Switch-How to Change Things When change is hard




My coach, Mr. Ron Price brought me many books and this is one of them that I am currently reading, and this again, tells me a lot of things that I have doubts or questions before. It teaches me a lot of things.....a very good book.

I shall write again once I finished reading this.

ANA_Beijing to Tokyo

Was using this flight, NH 956, to Tokyo this morning.
I ordered a vegetarian lunch, and by mistake, I think the air stewardess in charge was not careful, and instead of handing that to me, she gave it to the passenger next to me. I saw it, but thought that she might also be ordering the same, hence I kept quiet. A while later, another, may be more senior air stewardess realised the mistake, and she came and ask for permission to bring it away back to the serving pantry without realising I knew about it. The girl next to me have taken some of the food.
Then she tried to cover it up, and brought me part of the food, and apologize for being late, and stuffs like that. I was mad at her, because to me, that was cheating. She could have just came and apologise that they had given it to someone else by mistake. It is fine for me, but she did not. And she asked me to wait for a while, and will further investigate and shall serve later. I just kept quiet and after a while, I think the team leader realized the problem, and she came and apologize, and she brought some additional food fro Business class for me. I accepted it, because I think she did it the right way. I forgot the name of the purser, but I would like to thank her for her good customer oriented approach in solving the problems. Thanks, and I appreciate that. And because of you, I shall continue to use ANA.

李佳薇-Jess Lee (煎熬)

This girl, finally has released an album. I will get her album soon.
Listen to this song, and judge for yourself.




There is another version, full MV version, with scenes I think should not be seen by young children, so I did not include that version here, but I think seeing the MV gives you more of the real intention of the song, you can feel the meaning of the song more......emotionally:)

Steve Jobs

Just read in the news the passing away of Steve Jobs. A bit shock.
My his soul rest in peace. I like him, for his vision and being persistent in achieving what he believes in.
And I like I-Pad for sure.......

May Buddha blesses him.
