每月從乞衣兜搶走我的人工扣除20元的social club終於有活動~~ whale watching 自問從沒有暈船, saling 都冇問題, 應不用事前食藥. 結果…在broadwater 沒有問題, 到pacific ocean 開始覺得有點冷 搵到whale 停船, 盪下盪下就嘔了….. 要船隻開始行駛才沒有暈船, 臭大了…. 幸好看到 whale 由於攜眷活動(family members/ partner), 我”隻身附會”實在不化算, 這些支出實在不應該替公司節省, 理論上我出20公司出20…. 可惜 Elvie 唔近GC, 扮partner 用返夠個quota. 諸事不順, 郁悶非常… 計畫總是跟不上變化
近期由於病患, 故此甚少更新. 經著名精神科醫生Dr. S Chan 自我診斷為 社交恐懼症 病徵是臉紅、發抖、異常冒汗、心跳加速、心悸、輕微頭痛, 長時間的把自己關在家裡孤立自己 最近每個星期開會都係重複般, 總覺得自己的進度得慢 但上司卻說我做得幾快, 有時比他做得更快 或許這都係東西文化差異 外國人普遍係正面評價, 比較ego, 自信有能力做好手頭上的事情吧. 關注物業市場中, 租屋一般要200-300 per week mortgage 大約 $350-400, 但未計 body crop., council fee, bills.. etc 而且是一輩子的 debt…但pay rent 即是替人家供樓…. 什麼選擇才是最好的……
