人穷思旧债
I find that I have over-paid taxes (both actual and hypothetical). The problem now is how to get the refund.
Continue to pursue someone and T for loan repayment.
Who still owes me money?

心灵鸡汤
A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they'd be asked the "half empty or half full" question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired: "How heavy is this glass of water?"
Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.
She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn't change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes." She continued, "The stresses and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed – incapable of doing anything."
It’s important to remember to let go of your stresses. As early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don't carry them through the evening and into the night. Remember to put the glass down!

What is a Good Wine?
(1) Complexity
(2) Intensity
(3) Finish
(4) Balance
"Balanced" is criterion to make a wine acceptable only, not enought to make it good. This is what not in the book.
The one in the middle is a good (or very good) wine, though I am not able to appreciate it. Probably have not drunk a lot of good wines (especially white) in the past.

向左走.向右走
春节期间收到旧朋友HH的WhatsApp，今天终于收到她的电话，原来她也在SH工作了5年多，而且好像混得很不错... 大家都在陆家嘴居住、在陆家嘴上班，但可惜从来没有碰过，上一次见她已经是十多年前香港的事了。
以前的staff都纷纷超越了我。

Langham Hotel
朋友Mo请我喝酒吃生蚝，我比他早到，旁边坐了对狗男女，旁若无人地打车轮，坐了不久就上楼爆房，Mo向经理投诉：高级酒店怎会有这种客人？经理无奈。

高消费
沙圈很静，去Darling2，哗！鬼样！再去Darling1，OK喔，但不便宜。
去吃莆国菜，船屋fully booked，海湾不想去，最后去了内港，贵。
回香港要座豪华位，又HKD319。

The Success of a Cheap Cheap Wine
Finally tried Yellow Tail Shiraz ad Merlot. Not impressed at all. However, Yellow Tail has been so succssful in entering the US market that the marketing case is documented in
Blue Ocean Strategy.

The Three Musketeers
硬汉继续"九叔"，OF继续忙碌，看来三剑侠的日子不会再有。
Who is least flexible? 我不知道，但我坚持这是personal choice，虽然他们都说不是。他们总觉得别人不回家睡觉很容易，但自己呢？

Endorphins
They are produced by the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus in vertebrates during exercise, consumption of spicy food, love and orgasm..., and they can produce a feeling of well-being.
Why I can only get the feeling of happiness from spicy food, love and orgasm but not from exercise?
