I was very tired after the day long work. When I was unlocking the
door outside at the corridor, I heard of the shouting voice from my
wife. She was not happy with my son. Probably my son was not doing his
homework again. He was alway like that. He couldn’t concentrate on his
work. Always looking around here there. That is a very common problem
to many children, I think.

When I got into my appartment, my wife forced me to take over her tutor role. She was very tired with
that already. Oh lady, I had just come back from office. How could you
treat me like that!! Anyway I took over the position and acted like a
tutor. The child was now facing a mean tutor. Much worse than the one
before. The attitude of a person could not be changed, even with a mean
tutor. My life in the next 1.5 hours was totally messed up, either do
my wife’s. 

It is more comfortable to work in the harsh office than this comfortable appartment. What an oxymoron!

Two things drew my attention today when I walked pass the newspaper vendoring area. First of all, due to the fierce competition caused by the free newspapers, the price of the newspapers has dropper to half of the original. To be a consumer, we are welcome to this kind of sales events. Secondly, those magazines are even more attractive than those reduced price newspapers. Ordinary magazines are now coming with sexy covers which supposes to be more costly.

It is comfortable to have supper in a restaurant with music or songs - except the ones with continual music segments. I went to a restaurant with music segments tonight. It made me feel like choking.

It is not a bad idea to work for your future in China, especially when you are employeed with an attractive package. Yet, before you leave, please be considerated with the lady who always walk beside you during the good times and the bad ones. Career life is only a portion in our live. No matter how good the company or the working opportunity it is, you will shift to another working position one day in the future.  But the one you love, will always be your life long supporter and lover if you can always love her and admire her. Do realize her value to you. Men always make the wrong decision at the wrong time.

It is not easy to ask for the marriage from your loved one. As it has to pick up the responsibility, it takes some courage to do so. I am not pushing you to do it. To be a friend or a brother, I have been experiencing the beauty of the marriage live. I encourge you to join the party or make the commitment before you leave. There is no right time for that thing - it is all on your decision. How many surprises have you given to your loved one during the last 5 years? Give a great surpise to her and all of us. It will be a memorable event in the future.

Reading from newspaper that Vancouver and Toronto are two of the best
places to live let me think of the following comments from
friends of different places. 

Friends in the foreign
countries are complaining about their social status - they don’t want to
be second class citizens having very little chance to promote;
although they have nice cars and houses. Friends living
locally are complaining about their living qualities - they have good
promotion oportunities which come along with the long hours
work. No more private live. Quality of live is very low. They
cannot affort cars. They have to bear the heavy morgage on the
shoulder. All they want to have, at least in the current stage, are
having a nice car and a comfortable home. Where is the best place to
live?

People in the big cities are interesting. They only respect on the credit cards, the decent watches, and even nice dresses. Seems that no one would be respected on personal attitude and values.

Child caring is a very time consuming task. Helping the children to take bath, teaching the children to do homework, guiding them to play, then it is a whole day. It is also how we spent the weekend. Would it be too boring? I don’t know. Would I do sometihng more meaningful without them? I don’t know. May be I have already done something meaningful. I just didn’t realize it; I think I will some days in the future.
