就是那样衰

今天起身腰酸背痛，因为昨天下班后晚餐前用了超过一小时来洗车。

去洗车时情人老婆仔还没有开始煮晚餐，洗完车回到家整家人都已经吃饱了，唯有自己吃。*哭哭* =(

洗车，因为车太脏了，今天又要去公司。死要面子就是这样咯…

我这样怕死的人会出门去公司主要是因为需要打印、签名、然后邮寄跟专利有关的文件到美国。

但我工作的建筑里的每一个打印机都没有纸了，包括所有储放白纸的柜子里，我的天！幸好我的办公位有些白纸，虽然不是对的尺寸，但我也不管了，真的不想离开公司去买白纸然后又再回去公司。

终于可以离开时，外面就下起大雨了。

是的，我洗得发亮的车… 让我腰酸背痛后马上就前工尽费，然后还要让我淋湿。

老天爷，你很臭款、很衰样咯！

一瞬间

光阴似箭，一转眼二零二一年过了一半。

虽然寻求的是简单平淡的生活，但现实总是事与愿违，半年里有许多上上下下。

无能的后门政府和无脑的害群之马造就了新冠肺炎疫情继续肆孽，已经变成孤岛的我对人更加失望。

工作依旧那么忙，有成就、也有无奈。不后悔换了部门，主要就是管理层会欣赏和认可我的强项和贡献。今年至今多了一个专利，是去年开始的一个概念，终于修成正果。

工作以外也没有什么，还有联络的朋友没有几个，而且也没有什么共同的话题。我真的是一个孤岛。

今年尝试重启桌面游戏的活动，和以往那一群一起玩的同事朋友。变成网上的方式，遗憾的少了面对面的元素，但也有了许多的方便。对我来说策划变得简单了，就是定好大家都合适的时间而已，不再需要准备好游戏和预定房间，所有的摆放、移动、计算都是自动的，也不必做游戏后的善后清理，就是下线退出网页而已。可惜玩家少了… 嗯，人是会变的。

每个人一天都只有二十四小时，怎么用这二十四小时，就看什么对你来说是重要的。有一个我记忆深刻的事件，有一次我在忙专利的事，搞得头昏脑胀，决定歇一歇看一看群聊里在讲些什么话题时，就刚巧有人转贴一个对我来说是有的没有的、那些无聊的东西。当时感触很深，我们把时间精力用在多么不同的事上！

家，我的避风港，遗憾的也是常常有大风大浪。简单平淡的生活是很难得到的。总会觉得我是一个外人，我说的也不过是自己讲给自己听，没有人在乎，唉…

不写了，感恩还活着，希望下半年会变得更好啦。

Sharing is caring

Happiness shared is happiness multiplied, sorrow shared is sorrow lessened.

Something good happened to me and I am overjoyed. I promised not to tell but I want to share my happiness.

A promise is a promise, and I keep my words.

Can you be happy because something good happened to someone else that made him or her happy, without needing to know what happened? You know, just be happy because they are happy.

I can, seeing others happy and well is a nice feeling, if they care to share their happiness with me then I am honoured they have me in their mind. Goodness knows we need more happiness and positive energy in this world.

Same thing with when someone just needed an empathetic ear, without grilling them about what happened. I have always said, I don't need to know what happened, I can just be there for you, lend you my ear, or my shoulder.

And no, I am not trying to brag or show off, I just want to share my happiness without breaking my promise. That's all.

Slacker moves

Slacker extraordinaire (me), while slacking is the norm, cares about his health too.

It's a dangerous world out there, there is the Coronavirus and also the many fools who are on the virus side (traitors!). For example, those who gather around the pool chatting, without mask. Ya, those...

But for the sake of my health, I gotta brave these nasty and horrible elements, and forced myself to have regular exercise outside. The strength training I do in house feels a bit... insufficient.

Can't say I am a runner, even though there was that brief stint in primary school when I was in the 4x100 metres relay school team, which really is a sprint instead of a run, I don't particularly like running.

Prefer brisk walk to running, feel that it's less damaging, a healthier choice of the two.

Anyway, started to go out to have brisk walk within the compound of my condominium after work. When time and energy permit, that is. If I have to do overtime or when I am too drained then the walk doesn't happen.

I am not enforcing any frequency, since I don't want this to become a source of stress. I do try my best to have several walks every week. Currently doing three rounds around the compound per walk, taking a few minutes shy of 30.

The brisk walk duration suits me fine for now, enough to get my heartbeat up and about the limit of my anxiety level being out in the open without a mask (tried with mask, but found breathing hard). Them maskless fools gathering around the compound chatting do not help my anxiety level.

Stay safe and healthy, everyone.

Munchkin!

For some reason he himself could not explain (or simply would not tell me), my elder son went and bought a card game. Nothing wrong with that, I am a gamer and I like tabletop game, only he bought a Japanese language card game when he doesn't know the language.

So he spent hours searching online for translation of all the cards, took the time to note down everything. Wish he could have the same devotion to his study...

Anyway, so he roped his brother into playing with him, only it didn't went well since they both had to refer to his notes for every single card.

Seeing the frustration and pretty much complete absence of enjoyment (which is the whole point of playing game!), I suggested that they try another card game I have: Munchkin.

I last wrote about Munchkin in 2012, when I bought the eighth expansion. Munchkin holds a special place in my heart as it is the first tabletop game I bought after I started working, and it's the first game I introduced to, and played with, my colleague friends.

Many fond memories of those good old times.

Anyway, the kids like Munchkin. Given their usual 'five minutes passion', not sure how long this will last but they are really into it for the time being.

It's a minimum three players game so I got roped in as well, and when wifey finally joined us yesterday night, it became a family bonding activity these few days. ^_^

The wicked sense of humour, the play on words, all those Munchkinly stuff, I likey! =P

看不惯自己

去年三月行动管制令开始至今，几乎都没有剃光胡子过。

可能有一两次吧？还真的不太记得了。（金鱼记忆，嘢！）

上星期忘了那一天很随性的剃个清光，今天再一次。

应该是看惯了十五个月有胡子的自己，这两次剃光后看镜子里的自己觉得很陌生，怪怪的。

还是觉得自己有胡子比较 man ，也可能就是喜欢那颓废的样子啦，呵呵！

有感而发：感慨

二零二一年六月二十一日。

人生本来就很多事是徒劳无功的。

真的。

唉…

为什么要活得这么累？
