第三。
當不是黑，就是白，而黑白都非人所願。
就會產生另外的想法。
但，第三，真的是第三？
道德經雲：一生二，二生三，三生萬物，
來到這裡，每個人都成了文言文使用者。
三，在古意中往往是個虛數（注：非Z）
如果讀“三人行必有我師焉”就認定解作是指
“任選3個人就一定有一個是我的老師”，
又或是一定要多過三個人才有值得學習的對象，
都未免剛愎自用。
黑和白之外的第三又究竟是什麼？
灰？
紅綠藍？
紅青黃？
紅橙黃綠藍靛紫？
可不可以是黑白相間的西洋棋盤？
或是黑白橫豎的條紋？
四格漫畫?
海賊王卷頭彩頁？
也許如人間喜劇中王祖藍的角色說的一般，
當選擇越多，反而越不知道自己要什麼。
看每一個都不錯，又看每一個都不好。
自己來？高難度。
最“盞鬼”的還是現代人太多的自定義模式。
Iphone，只有一款了吧？數不盡的App讓你發揮個人使用。
你說，如果什麼都跟Iphone 一樣。
我不喜歡這個App，就Remove；
需要的時候，又Restore。
多方便？
第三，不是一個選擇，
是在數千數萬個選擇題中，勾自己爽的那個組合。
Add自己要的App
偏偏市場上還是太多的捆綁式銷售。
究竟有沒有第三？ 依賴市場原廠提供畢竟是很難的。
有空還是要自己動一動手Tweak下，才有著落。

威靈頓與蜘蛛
課本版： 19世紀初，有位英國將軍在戰場上吃了敗仗，落荒而逃，躲進農舍的草堆裏避風雨，又痛苦，又懊喪。茫然中，他忽然發現墻角處有一只蜘蛛在風雨中拼命結網，蛛絲一次次被吹斷，但蜘蛛一次次拉絲重結，毫不氣餒，終於把網結成。將軍深受激勵，後來重整旗鼓，終於在滑鐵盧之役打垮了拿破侖。這位將軍就是歷史上赫赫有名的威靈頓。 ====================================================================== 本人版： 響19世紀初期，有位英國將軍系戰場上打了敗仗，落荒而逃，匿埋響農舍嘅草堆入面避風雨，又痛苦，又沮喪。茫然中，他發現墻角有只蜘蛛響風雨中搏嗮老命甘去結網，蛛絲一次又一次甘被吹斷，但蜘蛛一次又一次甘拉絲重結，幾經辛苦，終於將網結成。威靈頓將軍呢個時候嘆咗一口氣：“搵食艱難.... 唉....“ 跟住將蜘蛛網拉斷咗....

Anniversary
Upon the end of this week, I will be reaching the anniversary for my first job.
I am flooded with tasks but it seems I still have to try and sum it up.
1) Leaves
I had taken 5 days MCs due to wisdom tooth surgery, 3 Half Days MCs due to Flu and Allergic, 4-5 offset timer to settle my work pass issues. While the past Chinese New Year, I was still under contract and not entitled to annual leaves but no paid block leaves. I have all my prorated leaves accumulated to a total of 14 days upon next week. --Which means I did not take any annual leaves within this year. I think I must be some workaholic. =.= Ok...I am going to take a one day leave on the end of this month.
2) Lifestyle and Health
No, I got no lifestyle, I started to live alone by renting a room with an old couples. My daily route is work-net-sleep. typical otaku. I have been stop for jogging as the beginning of my working life I stayed in Chua Chu Kang, the excuses was reaching home at 10pm is tiring enough. But it was then scattered in the air and never restored. One of my colleague who is in my dad's age keep nagging on me I should get some life, get a girl friend, and most importantly -- go home more often. Mr. Simon, I do take importance on your advise. thanks. =)
3) Get Things Right
At the beginning there was some discretion with my tasks. So end up I got to rewrite the manuals. The manager in charge did not get it thought it was only to change the visual look of the format. I commited to him to finish them before christmas, but I doubt that with all the active priorities I can really touch on them. But this is really annoying when stuff stagging there was a year ago. I want them to be gone in near future so that no more long pending - lagging follow up dragging me.
4) Efficiency, Efficacy, Effectiveness
If everyday everyone is coming over you and asked if their stuff is done, or telling you that somethings goes wrong again, I take that as there are still alot for me to improve.-- It just can't be, and creating so much follows up, making more busy, less time to think, more excuse for mistake and --"I don't know". And due to so much of follow up, the desk is a total mess, too much to handle on one time. My brain is not Hexa-core nor octo-core, so be effective clear all stuff, and ensure they go out and no coming back anymore, thats the quantity and quality.
5) Reducing "I don't know", and "I am not so sure of it"
It has been one year and now I can barely declare that I am a newbie. Being in a mist of the big picture it seems quite ridiculous. Can't just wait for order, go out and ask more "why" and check more on the project background.
6) Reducing waste paper. Eco-friendly.
Stop wrong printing. Do better filing, and reduce the draft paper on the cabinet.
7) Stress Management
Stress...stress.. and stress. Gotta handle them better.
8) Learn to be a Leader
I must admit that I have difficulties in this, managing time, inventory and most -- people. I recently have this problem coordinating with one of the guys. He really drives my nerves. So, learn to handle it better, talk better, give better instructions, more prepared, and faster.
9) Get an Interview
I keep asking myself the question if after this one year what stages I have reached. If I had achieve what the industry expected to be someone had work in the field for one year. My proposal is to have an interview. I had a call some weeks ago but at last it didn't turn out as could not arrange for the session by the time and they loose their interest. I guess at the same time I got to "zeng" my resume too...
10) Development and Enriching Knowledge
I've been searching in books, although few were bought. On the job of course is a good learning opportunity, learning for mistakes, learning from other's mistakes, extracting information and advises from others, appreciating others designs. But it seems to be a time for the theoretical part too, other than practical.
11) Direction, direction, direction.
Whether I like it or not, if this were the long term or short term achievement that I been seeking for is still in question. I did not flip flop, as no where to go, and no where else take me, so additional reason is if I just left because of some troubles it could be too early and bias to define. But it is still a major question that I should rethink about it after this one year.
That's for now. Hopefully I could revise and give all with a tick on next year.
