Reform?

The HK government recently broadcasts two commercials on TV begging us to support the so called political reform. The two commercials have two core messages - support and belief. The first message threats that if you want a political reform you are bound to support the government's proposal, there is no alternative. The second message tries to brainwash you that you need to trust your government to implement the political reform.

To clear the myths, we need to ask: why do we need to support the government's proposal and why do we need to trust the government? If the government says that its proposal is the best and nothing but the best, prove it! If the government forces us to trust it, then show us that its previous performance is worth the trust!

Our government shall not become the Ministry of Truth.

Academic Life

I have just finished my last course of my study, and now I need to concentrate on my thesis. I need to conduct a presentation within the next several months, and in the next 4 years I need to read, write, revise, read, write, revise, read, write, revise, until I finish my paper. This is a long journey and I am moving one step at a time.

Although my academic research is not related to my work, the process makes me think deeply. I need to consider different aspects of a problem and try to find the best solution. This thinking process can apply to my work also and it definitely helps.

I have taken many half-days off from my work to attend classes at evenings. Classes started at 18:00 hrs. but I liked to have the afternoon off to prepare for my classes. I felt more relaxing and fully prepared for my classes. For a part-time student, this is what I should do.
