成長

儘管時間會奪去女人的青春，時間也是女人最強的武器。因為時間流逝，女人才會成長，變得更加成熟，更有智慧。拿得起也放得低，這樣的女人才有能力為自己爭取幸福。時間讓人把事情看得更清，把愛情看得更透，終於明白「塞翁失馬焉知非福」的道理，感謝他當日一腳踢開你！

#001 - red packets

envelopes without pre-coated glue

We all LOVE red packets but what can you do with all these envelopes after getting the money out from them?

I remember in the old days, all the envelopes were pre-coated with glue, so one can easily seal the envelopes. So after the Chinese new year, for those non-glossy envelopes, I would tear off the part with glue and recycle them.

It would take some time to get it done, but it is ok - remember how short the lives of these envelopes, and how little effort you have to spare so as to save some space in our landfills. The good news is that, when I did the same task this year, I found that I spent even less time on it because more envelopes are without glue now, so I can recycle them right away.

Next year, please do consider having red envelopes without glue.

P.S. This year is the first year for me giving out red packets to my junior colleagues, and I do love the design of  the (pink) red envelopes.

100 little things to make this world a better place

Inspired by Alice, my flatmate when I was in graduate school, I've decided to share with my readers little things that we can easily do (but don't usually do) to make this world a better place.

I am targeting to list 100 little things in 2012 - in different categories. You may know all these little things but somehow we forget or we are not motivated to carry them out. I hope you'd join me to take the first step and be persistent, and when we look back at the end of 2012, we'd agree that we've done some good deeds for this world.
