Emily 石头记

Together with some friends and colleagues,  I participated in the "ORBIS Moonwalk" last weekend, which involved a walk overnight from 11:00pm Saturday night till 6:30am Sunday morning from Kowloon to Sai Kung.  It is a fund-raising exercise to support ORBIS's sight-saving work for The Blind.  But yes, It took me 7 hours to accomplish the 20km hike.  Sevaral takeaways from this excercise that I wanna share with all my friends.

 

1) 20km overnight walk. Not to exaggerate, it is far more than the km I have walked altogether since I began to work. Though exhausted, I got far more fun than working overnight.

 

2) Trust&Care. There was a short 10 minute walk during which we were blindfolded (albeit short, it reminded me to appreciate our gift to see). Ppl, including me, became more suspicious when eyes being covered, wondering where is the next obstacles, whether there is uphill or downhil in front, where is cross, etc. What important to me is the person right beside, giving me guidance and supporting me with hand. The comfort level depends on the trust in between. Yes, it's all about trust, care and love when you are in an inferior situation.

 

3) Never know your potential. I seldom did gym or work out, the walk indeed has built up my confidence of being a sporty gal. Should join more hiking activities going forward haha.

 

4) Achievement. On seldom occasions I could be fulfilled ever since I began to work, but this walk is definitely one. After experiencing all the frastruation during the night, the sunrise in Sai Kung was more beautiful to me than any Tequila Sunrise I have ever had.

 

I have already made up my mind to enroll the exercise next yr, lmk if you are interested to join us.

 

Btw, This is a fund-raising exercise to support ORBIS's sight-saving work.  Please kindly see link to the ORBIS HK website and a brief summary below of the work it does:

 

 

忽然从一家resturant出来，眼前是China town, 整个人轻飘飘的，好像在找某个东西，也好像在找人，在Leicester Square的每条街疾速行走..从一家店出来，又推开另一家的门..眼前的映像又模糊又清晰，我想我是喜欢那种状态的，以至于没有睡都可以做梦...

 

What About Now - DAUGHTRY

 

Watching fireworks from the office, while having conference call..

 

Fireworks might be one of the biggest celebration in HK for National Day.. Friends now are either in the Peak, Wachai or TST.. while i am flagging my desk.. quite rare in this market, I am even laughing at myself..

 

Got drunk easily these days..

 

 

 

 

为什么要给爱做梦的女孩平添负担..从什么时候开始我可以说出那么多所谓的计划和打算..日子不是本来很简单才对么？

 

今天在小艾的心里发生了9.0级地震..伤亡惨重..家园重建遥遥无期

这是上班之后第一次让我觉得Travel不仅仅是换一张床睡觉，不用管Black berry, 将手机power off, set up out of office reply in my outlook and here I am.

 

Here in London, 我的生活是这样的：

Monday is friend visiting day;

Tuesday is musical day;

Wednesday is homecooking day;

Thursday is drinking day;

Friday is shopping day:

Sat and Sunday are travel/sightseeing day..

 

周末去了Brighton看Gay parade, 生平还是第一次看到这么多的彩虹旗和Gay, 第一次感受到有这样的一些人如此自我的活着，or换言之我们也如此自我的活着，不经意的忽略了社会的另一面。不得不承认，看到婀娜、妖娆的他们，作为女子，我还是自叹不如。

 

Brighton是英国南部的一个海滩，很多欧洲人/英国人打发周末的地方，一个人坐在海边，听歌，吹海风，发呆了整个下午。。想象我的将来，想到了我的过去..30岁的时候，我会在怎样的状态下生活？一年之后，我又一次问自己同样的问题。一年前的愿景是30岁的时候，我会是两个孩子的母亲，如今，身边好友纷纷嫁人，不得不感叹愿望终究是为别人许下的，而我还依旧生活在幸福的隔壁。

 

最近一直在买鞋，直到credit card今天被lock, my Zurich neighbour也不得不提醒我：Emily, what did you do in the past month?? 买鞋子也不是没有节制的，就在周五还忍痛放弃了一双很好看的Armani, 虽然很美，也在sale, 可是鞋子舒不舒服只有脚知道，活得虚荣不如活得实在。 I am not growing any younger, 在这样的timing想清楚这件事情，还是幸运的，毕竟没有那么多的年复一年可以让我挥霍了

 

今天比较空, Boss is on leave.

 

All the summer Asso and Analyst flow in today. =) 4 summer associates from CF team, 3 of which are from Chicago GBS.. One is JaQQ's roommate, others are 祖哥's close friends..a gal was my interviewer 2 years ago in PWC FA..
