Was grocery shopping at Fotan and there was this guy sitting at a wooden office desk with a stereo next to him playing 90s Canto music. He was looking bore and his job is to stamp tickets for people who drove to the market to shop.
Looks like a nice job, don't do anything, but then, that's isn't the best job there is, it must be super boring.
So...here is the story.
Young man sitting at the desk listening to inspiring Canto pop from the 90s. This is what I do.
Some people are envy of my job, $40 per hour just to sit and do nothing and listen to music. But the thing is that I can't do anything. I can't check my phone. I can't read a book. I have to be this. They are encouraging people to shop here so they are giving people parking voucher if they bought over $100 worth of food here. They figured it was cheaper to hire a guy like me than to put a machine here. So here I am. $40 an hour here, sitting here, doing nothing much. Hardly anybody park here to shop, most of the customers are in the neighborhood. I was just doing this to get some money, and it's right by my house. I came here at 6am and all the way until 7pm when the market closes each day. 45 min lunch break in between at 2pm. 12 hours. 12 hours time $40 is $840 a day. Not bad really, not bad at all for what I do. A lot better than many people.
People think this job is easy but they just don't know how hard it is to do nothing for 12 hours, and not fall asleep.
It haven't been easy to hire people for this job, one being it can't pay too well, and it's contract, actually it is suppose to be part-time so they don't have to pay me anything like MPF or anything. For me it's a temp job so I am okay with it.
Sometimes i feel like people care more about dogs and cats, their pets, then their fellow human beings.
I wonder when we will be replaced by a machine, but I don't think they would invest in a machine to do this job.
Probably need to lower the salary* not very realistic.
I have asked my dad to stop paying for my things. I can afford my life. I wish my dad put some more pressure on me.
"Dad, can you stop paying for me and chopsticking me food? Stop serving me dad. Can you stop giving me money," I told him one day.
"Okay," dad replied, "But I am not going to push you, you have to do that yourself."
Tutoring
I make some extra money by tutoring and it is a job that actually somewhat make use of my skills, especially my intellectual and English skill...and my patience.
Sitting with a 11 years old kid at table trying to get the kid to do work.
"So, this and that....what does that tell you about...?"
The kid just want the answer from him. Alan gives up and tells him the answer with the explanation.
"So, do you want to write that down, I just told you the answer."
I don't know what's wrong with this kid, he ain't dumb, he is just, don't want to do work, want me to do it for him. His parents are separated. His dad runs a business in China, his mom is quite young, she could be my girlfriend.
Do I enjoy it? A little. Not really, but the money is good. $400 an hour.
I studied Art Theory in the United States. School was a different time. I felt great there, the teachers pampered us and we discussed about art theories like we were gods, dissing the theories of the great men and women before us as if we would better them in just a few years. That didn't happen.
Once I came back, people were telling me, hey your English is good, you could teach English. Eww, yucky.

Sometimes, a title, a sentence, or just a bunch of words would come to me before I get an idea for a story. Sometime it is simply a play of word or a phrase that I think sounded cool. Some examples are: 乾蒸麵, 愛的時候 .
I had this title for a really long time and never had a story to go with it. I finally got one today while watching In The Mood For Love, a great movie by Wong Kar Wai and I do believe it is better than 2046.
Thought of a story about this high school boy and this high school girl from another school who liked one another but the relationship never actually started. They are from different school but meet at a inter-school competition. They just notice one another and become serious. Their school are across from each other and are rivals. They have groupies at their own respective school and it makes it hard for them to show affection but they finally do get some time and away from anybody else. But then they have to part.
In F.5 the boy has to go overseas, US to further his education. The girl left also for UK. The lost touch. At the end of the story, it's about 10 years later in 2007 and the boy finds a woman who looks very familiar in the underground MTR as she gets off the train. From then on he tries to get on the same train as her.
This is from May 2008:
Somewhat inspired by Roald Dahl's The Great Automatic Grammatizator and Other Stories, Ihhhhh have a story up my head.
The protagonist is a midget who is also a mechanical genius. He was born to regular Chinese parents. From an early age, he was small. Kids teased him but he did managed to have a few good friends and his family supported him all the way. Despite his size, he excelled in mathematic and the science and developed an interest in robotic. He went to MIT (or a really prestigious) on scholarship, went to graduate school on full scholarship. When he graduated the biggest tech companies lined up to hire him including Microsoft (with Bill Gate talking to him one on one), Apple (featuring Steve Job), Boeing, Lockheed Martin, NASA, GM, GE, Sony, Samsung, Honeywell, IBM and etc... He accepted one of the jobs and they gave him great salary but he was somewhat teased by the others and he felt unloved and lonely. He disappeared for a while and came back in a mechanical suit that allowed him to be like a regular person. He went into another company, remade himself and worked from the bottom up with no special treatment.
He either created the suit to follow his college interest or she, Kate, went to his company. He spend his days working on his mechanic suit after work, improving it, maintaining it and etc...
Only his best friend, Ronald, who helped him make the suit (without knowing it, Ronald worked in a robotic/mechanical engineering company and supplied some of the parts for the suit). Finally, the midget, let's call him Sean for now, got closer to Kate who doesn't know that Sean is in the suit (or that the suit is only a mechanical suit).

有這麼一類人
有這麼一類人…他們很傻…貌似很花心…其實很專一…
貌似很堅強…其實比誰都要脆弱…
貌似很開心…可是笑容背後的哀傷誰又能懂…
其實很多時候…這一類人都是在自我折磨…
明明很愛很愛對方…卻寧願心痛的死掉…也選擇放手…
然後轉身離開…任眼淚隨意放肆…
其實很多時候…這一類人很好懂…
他們很害怕孤單…因為一個人的時候…他們會胡思亂想…
他們會想起那個沒有結局的故事…會想起那個模糊卻又清晰的臉 龐…
因為一個人的時候…他們會覺得很沒安全感…
他們的要求總是那麼的低…只要愛著的那個人陪著他們就好…
其實很多時候…這一類人都很敏感…都很容易猜疑…
一個眼神…一個動作…都會讓他們神經兮兮一整天…
所以不要讓他們恐慌…不要讓他們傷心…如果愛他們…
其實很多時候…這一類人都在感傷…
不是他們多愁善感…只是容易觸景生情罷了…
他們喜歡用文字來刻寫他們的心情…這也是他們的一種寄托方 式…
其實很多時候…這一類人都處在矛盾之中…
是繼續還是暫停…是放棄還是堅持…
看似感性的他們…卻往往於最後…總是讓理性駕馭整個思維…
其實很多時候…這一類人總是活在過去…
他們總是不經意地在現在的生活中找一些似曾相識的感覺…
雖然他們自我約定要忘記過去…可是他們忘了…過去已在腦海根 深蒂固…
其實很多時候…這一類人害怕看見別人的甜蜜…
不是嫉妒…只是會覺得和以前的自己好像…然後會陷入整個回 憶…
待過往的疼痛喚醒自己的意識…再一個人慢慢舔舐自己的傷口…
其實很多時候…這一類人都很執著…
有時候不明白他們在堅持著什麼…
他們是在期待那個沒有結局的故事的結局還是在等待更大的傷 害…
他們就是傻…愛上了…就會像個娃娃…任意被擺動…
這一類人…缺點太多…脾氣太臭…不僅任性…而且敏感多疑…
所以要麼不要靠近他們…要靠近就用真心對待他們…因為他們的 心脆的很…傷不起… 有這麼一類人…他們很傻…貌似很花心…其實很專一…
