| Quote from Clement's blog:
我覺得做現代人， 應該有拒絕的勇氣。 拒絕去不想去的婚禮， 拒絕去搞不想搞的婚禮 (1)， 拒絕在宴會上加上不環保的魚翅 (2)， 拒絕去為應節而送不想送的禮物。。。
引 伸之，是拒絕去寫別人想您寫的文章， 拒絕去爬別人期待您去爬的職場階梯， 拒絕去結別人想您結的婚，或拒絕不去結別人不看好的您的婚姻， 拒絕去做別人期待的但您不想做的自己 。。。。 最初可能會得罪一些人， 令您以為會落得一個「六親不認」的下場， 但慢慢您會發現， 剩下來的才是您的真正朋友， 哪些雞飛狗走或知難而退的豬朋狗友就由他們去吧！
最近學到一句說話：
"The privilege of a lifetime is to be yourself" （Anonymous)
「人一生的唯一特權，就是做一個真正的自己。」（佚名）
不要輕易放棄這個特權啊！共勉之。

(1) 我知道這一點對於孝順父母但又偏偏父母觀念很傳統的朋友來說比較難做到。我只能說一句「八仙過海，各顯神通」吧！
(2) 這一點我近期在努力中，但「革命仍未成功！」
I totally agree as I have (somehow) gone through this kind of stage. Friendship or any kind of relationship can be treasured if and only if it has no "melamine" (e.g. ridiculous expectations, void gatherings). Life is finite. Say "No!" to all relationships with melamine.

| Last night, when I returned home, I was exhausted so I didn't type anything in xanga. (well...actually, I'm very lazy in updating it :p)
Thanks Fred and Suetha who introduced Lin Heung Tea House (or literally Lotus Fragrance Tea House, http://www.openrice.com/restaurant/sr2.htm?shopid=1868) in Sheung Wan! The dinner was nice and the most attractive point to me is its long history (around 80 years if I recall correctly). We had a great time with Kelvin, Sara, Man Yee and Alfred. Fred told me that usually, there are a lot of customers queueing for the tables and it can be very noisy. But last night, it was exceptionally quiet. Perhaps, as Kelvin guessed, it's due to the financial tsunami.
We chatted a lot things. At least, our topics have spanned some interesting facts or history of a number of countries (Singapore, US, Canada, Iran, North Korea and China) and.................rickshaws. I heard that there are some Canadian university students have their summer job as a rickshaw driver in some tourist attraction points. Is it true?
I always like good gathering with good food and good friends!
