Essential

What is the essential of our life? Health? Money? Frame? I think air must be the one, without air we can't live for minutes!

The reality is that air quality in HK is getting worse. Haze is bad and it is caused by pollutants from China as well as HK but dust storm from northern China is worse and it can spread all the way to the US! The air quality index in HK in the past several days speak for itself: the dust storm can reach HK and easily break our worst air quality index!

Dust storm is originated from desert. And desertization in northern China, which is a result of rapid development by invading forest, causes more dust storm. To prevent dust storm, we need to plan more trees and using less forest land for development. Dust storm is threatening the livelihood of China and there will be no development if situation continues.

Work, Study, and Rest

I have been very busy in the last couple of months. Not only I have to write another paper and prepare my class each week, but also my work is full. I can hardly find time to rest.

I used to like reading but in the past couple of months I seldom had time to read. I know that this will continue in the next several years so I need to read as much as I could during summer when my school work is lessen.

As I have so many tasks to handle and the time is constant, I need to use my time wisely on work and study so that I can have time to rest. I plan what I want to do daily and try to complete it so that I can then focus on others next day. Leisure becomes a luxury. As I travel to work daily by MTR I use the interval to read and I managed to complete the Tales from Shakespeare within a year. It is putting your time to good use.
