(Photo credits to www.slate.com) Well, I believe no one can runaway from this topic. If you telling me you never lie, than either you are lying as well or you better find a place to hide, as this world is too dangerous to you. Myself is a graphic designer. Graphic? Designer? Yes. When your are in this kinda jobs, you are part of an advertiser. You somehow have to lie, to attract people to look at your product and services. So, what is lying? According to wikipedia, (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lie) "A lie is a statement used intentionally for the purpose of deception.  The practice of communicating lies is called lying,  and a person who communicates a lie may be termed a liar." If you found the description above not so understandable, well, easy to say, Your are not telling something true to the person you talk to.  That's lying. I admitted I do lies, but I really don't like lying, (th...

An Employees' Awareness in A Family Business Corporation / Company

Image
Well, if you ask me why this topic was given as title or I should say as discussion, I can probably tell you I read an article discussing about how an employees who working in an family business and his faith. I bet you know what's the story behind this topic. But, I try to discuss it in a more interesting way. You can my company was an good example of family business. My lady boss and her husband (who was an art director) are working together at the company I'm current working in. My boss was with my lady boss before. Well, seeing this, you can visualize that complexity of the company. Things getting a bit complicated and too much relationship connection and restrain of ideas. Not gossiping, but telling what is seen. (You can tell why I wanted to leave my current company so desperately.) There is another example which I read from a Chinese newspaper. (Giving credits to Sinchew Newspaper and an author named Hong Xue Zhen) It was an old tale...

Travis Kalanick and UBER

(Photo credits to timedotcom) If you ask me, I never hop on a UBER, ya, never. But this man, is a man I respected and still respecting.  Although too much obstacles comes along, especially the lately scandals, which somehow got tie-up with UBER, this man shows his strength of what a real man should be, responsible enough for every crisis met. As you can read all the news and scandal and everything that is hitting UBER, you can tell that Travis is not really absence although the surface might seems as is. I am not trying to be hypocrite in helping Travis to speak few good words, but I do believe that he has his own plan while temporarily walking away from what was in now. We all have the hard times and yet we shouldn't just give up. Travis is not that type of person easily pushing away responsibility as you can see the past, he has trying so hard to lift UBER even after crisis and crisis. It's easy to gossip and defame others for your own benefi...

Movie time - Kung Fu Yoga

Image
Today, we talk about movie. Its called "Kung Fu Yoga". If you ask me, the movie is so so. Starting of the movie, I was shocked to find a big CGI effects going around and I am like: "What?!" I am not a CGI fans, so I felt like I have waste my money on these geeky techs. (Seriously...) The plot, erm, I am not sure what I had watched is a complete version, there's is a lot of "chopped off". So things seems to be incomplete. Everything is like touch and go. But the only thing I like is Bugatti (But why they make it as a Cop's car? Arghhh!!!) But the lesson is there. I don't want to further review it. If you just want to watch it, without thinking whether it is worthwhile for spending money, just watch it.  But if you are a wise money spender, you might need to rethink few times before go and watch the movie.

Alone in the dark

Image
Actually, It isn't that horrible to be alone in dark. What is more important is that, you can get used to with it and symbiosis with it. Ya, nothing much to say but enjoy yourself  with the dark as you'll find a way to move towards the light.

快结束了

“2016年就快结束啦。” 我知道,这句话不懂哪里听了多少遍, 有些腻了,却还是会听到人说。 如果你说,2016也没什么,又是一年, 那恭喜你,你没变。以不变胜万变, 高招! (开玩笑啦。) 那,如果你变了呢? 这绝对不是坏事,至少你已经长大了。(应该吧) 你生命里经历了更多,人生经验又加多一点了。 痛苦、快乐,我们都经历了。 就,继续过好每一天吧。 大家加油吧! 预祝大家2017年快乐。

As the weeks coming...

Image
We know, the weeks is coming. The weeks of festive.  I truly hope that we all are living the X'mas spirit with a greater, calmer heart.  Yes, we know  some things had happened. But we all have the same hope - A peace environment. A moment of Joy. Some no matter what, I hope that the season of greeting can continue until next year. A happier moment, a more better environment. That's the only thing I wish. Happy holiday, Happy New Year.
