Watch a news about age discrimination in the airlines of hong kong tonight. Somehow, airlines force local attendants to “retire” before 45 or 55, subject to the starting date of the contract. According to the spokeman of the airlines, revise of retirement age is a big issue to the companies as the arrangement would have impact to the promotion prospects.

The news does not bring me any surprise. Explanation from the spokeman is also found reasonable. If all the old guys keep stucking at the top levels, how can new comers getting into the management level? Also, if you are not as energetic as before, it is logical to leave the position and let someome else who is strong enought to take over your place. The whole picture is crystal clear to me. However, being a mid age man, I start understand why middle age lives are filling with uncertains. On one hand, you do not know how long you can keep being productive (I mean with 120% output daily). On the other hand, you do not know how long you can keep producing in the existing position. Can we keep productive with these kinds of uncertain in mind? I really don't know.

An accountant said, “The more your understand the accounting concepts or the more you analyse on the financial reports, the least willingness you are on investing.” The reason behind is that there are just too many unknowns or questions on the financial reports after analysis which take them away from the investing. Even people with great expertise are still getting backwards on investing, should we oridinary customers getting into the investment circle, i think. I like the conclusion being drawn by the holder of the show on tv - the return ratio will always proportion with the level of risk being involved in the investment, no matter you are talking about investing in stock market, securities or even other utilities. 

Some of them feel happy and warm when they eat or cook with their parents. To me, the happest time is to see my child smiling with his/her naive face. Nothing would be happier than holding a lovely baby… at least in the parents eyes.

因為簡單的一碗麵，感到自身的幸福。

Want to understand the priority list of the 21 century children?

Priority list of my son: Keroro -> Gundom -> Thomas . I think this is pretty standard to the boys. Japanese and British concepts should have been penetrated to his mind through the cartoons. 

Priority list of my daughter: Her pillow -> her helper -> my wife . This one is quite special, I think. May be she has better taste than my son. 21 century children or parents relay too much on their helper. Would this help to create a more internationalized city? Now we have philippine English and “native” mandarine.

Reviewed my old blobs tonight and found that some of the garbage sites were referencing to my documents. Don't know when they start attaching to them. Hate them all very much. Why bordering this personal web page with those nasty messages? Finally, I deleted all those references from the “reference announcement”. Read another “interesting” web page tonight - the owner of the web page requests others (may be except himself) not to read his own web page as it is very personal to him. Why put it on internet then? Got to say sorry to him. I read a few lines of it due to curiosity.

Before when I attended wedding ceremonies, I saws couple getting married. Yesterday, when I had a chance to join a  wedding ceremony again, I saw children of parents getting married. Don't know how it/I would look like when my children are having their ceremonies. God bless their future.

Value of a child is defined by his parents and grandparents. Without a parent or grandparent, they worth nothing.
