When you were young & fearless


I copied some of the backup discs back to my computer during the Chinese New Year and found a few interesting pictures.

Everyone says young people have dream and ambition. It's probably because they've got nothing to lose if they take a risk. Look at this picture and I really feel that I was fearless at the time. Work sounded more fun rather than routine, too!

What? Using Snails' Fluids for Skincare

Obviously I missed out the trendy cosmetic products that make use of the secreted fluids of snails. Two girls who used such products did not find it "gross" but effectively making their skin look better. That led to my little research about these "snail" products . Does it smell bad? Does it look like dirty green? It's totally opposite. The cream is gold in color, according to what my friend described. Nothing unpleasant does it smell.  While I looked at the girls in dismay and shock, I did some internet research to verify the myth of these beauty products. It is interesting that there are many patents related to the use of snails' fluids in the skincare area. Scientifically, a research paper talked about the use of "snail therapy" started in the age of Hippocrates , the father of Western medicine. There were records of the application of "snail diet", "snail paste" as well as "snail syrup" for a number of disease...

Mothers can do anything?

I rushed back to parents' home one day and walked fast across the concourse of Central Station from one side to another. Something caught my attention. Two buggies were parked on the side with a mother squatting on the floor. It's not a very common scene especially for a western mother in this awkward position. When I passed by the buggies, I had a peek and realized that the mommy was breastfeeding her son alone with the buggies parked like the shields. The Central Station is almost the biggest in Hong Kong with thousands of people passing by every minute. I pondered if I were a mother, would I do that? I saw mothers breastfeeding in the bench in the hospital I work but we don't have a busy patient flow. To me, breastfeeding is not something you will do it in public but I know mothers will do anything when their babies ask for it. Maybe the train station should consider to have a breastfeeding / babycare corner for those mothers.

Do you really know your friend?

Have you ever felt you knew a person and realised that you didn't? Once I was told one of my IT colleague actually knows how to speak Swedish as he decided to go all the way to Sweden to see the world. Now he wants to compete in an International Taekwondo Competition to see if he can break more bricks than his competitors. Interesting? Then my intern talked about she has been teaching private pinao classes for almost 10 years. What? She started to teach when she's 14. Young generation in this decade is really multi-talented and mature early. Today, I learnt from my yoga teacher that she is also a hair-stylist. Right, I probably should go and try it out to see whether people can have totally different talents. So, should I explore my second job other than my profession? What can I be? Maybe I can be a yoga teacher too. And I probably enjoy doing some less brainy jobs in a golf club when I retire. But I'd better finish my study first.
