精神疲惫。 怎么了我? 不想这样下去。
是时候!

日本，东京 8.9级地震与海啸
11March2011 - 星期五
这一天发生了一起惊天动地的一起天灾。 日本发生了8。9 级地震与海啸。10m海啸把屋子卷走，淹没稻田， 一瞬间变成汪洋一片。 满目疮痍的景象随处可见， 看了叫人心酸。
12月到了日本游玩。 虽然仅仅2周，我却深深地爱上那里。日本人地礼貌和自序让我自叹不如。优美的风景更不用说。新鲜的海产料理仍然还再刁斗着我的味蕾。这么一个完美的地方，大自然这么舍得摧毁它呢？
可是在逆境中， 我们仍让能看到他们面对困难的不同。 地震发生时，他们都不惶恐，不尖叫的撤离。 在避难依然能手自序的领取物品。在离开后，却一点垃圾都不留。是对灾难的熟悉，还是逆境已经把他们训练得更坚强了？
现实所发生的情景，犹如电影版地呈现出来。这不得不让我们联想到世界末日的可能。
希望大家能更积极的面对生命， 更勇敢的实现梦想 。 因为生命是如此的脆弱。 你不知道明天会发生什么事。
日本加油！

The little black dress - Memoirs
Last post, I mentioned about the books that I read recently, so one of which called: The little black dress - Memoirs (if i remember correctly). Is about a girl who have been through 2 bad marriages and now she wants to leave her countryside to New York in search of a new life. Her father is a writer for a famous magazine and he referred her to an editor for the position as her assistant. However, she's mean, demanding and difficult to please boss. She managed to work quite well with her. Her boss is competitive and was trying to please the magazine's big boss. She had plastic surgeries to please him and became his mistress. Ppl in their industry had lots of crazy parties with alcohol and drugs. They are in it, just to be part of the group. The main lead chose not to go cos dislikes it and she doesnt want to be in it to climb the corporate ladder. On the contrary, the editor chose to go. After a long night of partying, they returned to their own apartment to nurse their hangover. So lonely.
The magazine big boss's found out about the affair between his husband and the editor. So he magazine biss boss neither support the editor's new book nor promoting her. She lost her power and dominance in the office. In the end, her book didnt sell and she lost her job. Nobody sympathise with her. In fact, they celcbrated on her departure.
There were so many things to learn from the story of the two ladies which is difficult for me to pen down and remember. The few which I believe are:
1) Stay true to yourself and to use your hard wark to earn what you want to achieve
2) Find true friend not partying acquaintences
3) Be nice to ppl and dun spoil relationships
4) Take or accept things tt belongs to you
Another book is "The 24 carrot manager". It talks about the use of "carrots" to motivative employees. Too lazy to write about it..
Had a busy week cos need to work at home on last sun - wed. Soo looking forward to next week, Universal Studio on Fri, Night cycling on Fri too.. =)
Next wkend going to Bintan for YEC retreat and next wkend will be flying to Nihon for 2 weeks!
