T minus one.

眨下眼又一個星期，明天夫人便會工幹回來。數天沒見，很是掛念。

因工作需要，我倆間中都會出差。我覺得，這些小別就如替一段關係做身體檢查。而最新一次的健康報告，仍然是滿分。

Fruit for thought.

I saw this in an internet post last night. This idea isn't new, but it's a good reminder for us.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. 

Explore. Dream. Discover."

又是老生常談, 提提自己要多些坐言起行。

Moving on...... Unwillingly.

After two years of waiting, I finally canceled my FL5 pre-order today. The Type R has always held a special place in my heart, probably more than most people realize. I was very looking forward to own both the first and last generations of the pure ICE model of the Civic Type R. I know there will always be a newer and faster CTR in the future, but they will either be hybrid or EV—they will no longer be the same.

Anyway, I tried, but the Honda God never answered my prayers. I guess it’s time for me to accept reality and move on. Disappointed? Very. Relieved? Kind of. I feel unfulfilled.

ECP

 太好了,原來Extra Protection Care (ECP)是包括Tire Road Hazard Protection 的。幸好出車時加了。Big win ! 以後出車都一定要加ECP呢。

How hard was that?

I don't get it. How hard can it be to load your own dishes into the dishwasher? The dishwasher is right next to the sink, and we're talking about a full-grown adult here. Were you really that busy? Or did you simply forget to bring your mum to work with you—the one who probably does all your dishes at home? Pathetic.

I remember this.

今天和小鬼們重遊Telus Spark Science Center，對上一次可能已經是5，6年前了。

設施基本上沒有大改變， 展區好像比之前還少，有點兒run down的感覺。不久將來要一次大翻新吧？

Telus Spark對於我們來說總是回憶滿滿的，在初來步到的兩三年，我們每隔數週都會去那裡走一倘。哥哥最愛玩水流澗道，妹妹就最愛那室內攀扒區域。哈哈他們現在已因超齡而不准進入了:D 重遊舊地，他倆不停的說 "I remember this!"，很有趣。

有一點沒變，就是哥哥妹妹都在回家途中睡著了。I remember this。 

週末早上

清早起床，看見兩個小鬼頭還在抱頭熟睡中，昨晚應該跟朋友們玩到很夜吧？我已經記不起由何時開始，他們不再比我們早睡早起了。

我還記得老爸在週末早上，有時也會在門縫中悄悄的看我。可能，當時他心裡也是盼望著一句 "爸，不如我們一起去吃個早餐吧!" :)

Single Parents

夫人要外出工幹一週,所以我將要過短暫Single Parent生活。現在孩子們長大了，相比之前已經輕鬆得多。大致上只需照顧他們飲食和logistic，其他的他們大概都能自足。我倒是較擔心這個星期的工作量。

我真的很佩服那些全職單親父母,你們是怎樣撐下去的？是對子女的愛吧？

Trade war.

I don't often talk about politics, nor do I like to. However, I think we need to discuss the ongoing tariffs and trade war, as they are and will continue to deeply affect Canada.

I don't like Trump, but I dislike those left-plastic elite politicians even more. I've always thought he is a very smart businessman. He is a master at creating chaos, making people react impulsively so that he can secure the deal he wants.

Is it really border security that he cares about, or is he just bullying people to showcase U.S. dominance? Either way, things definitely aren’t going as well as he hopes they would.

For us Canadians, I think this is a wake-up call to reconsider putting all our eggs in one basket.

Anyway, I need this to end ASAP since I have a considerable amount of company shares vesting in two weeks, and I also need the CAD to bounce back before the Leica Q2 auction ends (XD).

No one wins in a trade war. What a crazy world that we live in. 

斷.捨.離 .

近幾年，我開始慢慢downsize我的sneaker collection, 由高峰其期的過百對到現在的數十對。

最近我終於決定將collection進一步縮小，或者只保存5至10對吧？是非常不捨，but it needs to be done at some point, right?

賣仔莫摸頭。擁有過，已經很好。

Too funny.

 

I found this so funny—every statement is true, except what RTV recall? I wish they would acknowledge the deflect and issue a recall.

But hey, it’s a great car, and it brings me joy every time I drive it!

四十有中

 一轉眼，就十多年。四十有中，原來人生已經走了大半。

我們八年前離開了NZ，跑到了地球的另一邊去尋找新生活。慶幸我們踏出了這一步，但也後悔為何遲遲才踏出這一步。

這些年來生活過得還不錯，大緻上跟計劃的沒有多大出入，感覺很充實。

最近我倆有了一個共悉，就是希望能到一個新地方去體驗新生活(中東地區?)，時點應該是當女兒上了大學吧。

妳我都是沒有腳的鳥兒，沒救。

So sad... but yet so funny lol

I saw this on the chat谷 ; So sad but yet so funny. 有沒有一點點的共鳴 ? LOL

「我應承加大大份比你，但公司規矩唔可以呢個時候無端端加人工，所以會係出年 review時加比你，呢幾個月你就拍硬擋同我頂住先！」說著大力拍了拍你的肩。

你心中感到一份莫名的感動，覺得機會終於來了。

五個月後，你拿著notebook在茶餐廳看jobsdb。 呷了一口香濃的奶茶：「唉～～～」

3rd trackday at Hampton Downs

Today is my 3rd attempt at Hamptons. Weather was awesome; fine for most of the day. It only started to rain in final sessions.

I am still learning both the car and the track. Laptime for todays sessions were around mid 1:27. Im glad to know that I'm doing under 1:30s. The car feel great. I love it.

I don't know how many more trackdays I can attend. I hope I can pass the 1:25s mark before I retire from racing again.

Busy Life

Life has been very busy lately. Busy but enjoyable. Family and work, housework and own hobbies; Maybe I'm over-committed, but I feel solid and I feel everyday is worthwhile.

How could that happen ???

真空上陣！！！

陪著你走

誰說　時間片刻變陳舊 全為我分秒亦停留
因我　身邊有你緊握我的手
愛　誰說永不會長壽 陪著你一生到白頭
都能　把心中星星閃得通透
陪著你走　一生一世也不分
天天編出兩雙足印　過千山過千海
如果　走到這世界邊端
我倆已是無力前行　跟我一起飛去

Jei Jei Jei Jei

Jei Jei Jei Jei 的整晚說過不停，you are so cute.

Tap Pok
