萬物皆不出其道

My work right now is really tough, and it is getting repetitive. But yet, I really like it because it brushes up my Word and Excel skill by a lot. I know lots of commands and functions that I will never use or know if I wasn't working here. I am a stage person, don't you think? I love performing, talking to people, making friends, being on stage... That IS my dream, and I am going to pursue it.

Next is how, I am going to enter as many competitions as possible, perform as much as I can so that I can gain more "stage experience". I am going to start my study of either Theater or Music in Hong Kong after I graduate from college in America. I believe in couple years, I am going to make a move in the entertainment industry. People say it is impossible and it is really hard. I always want to ask those people, what is "hard"? You don't try, you don't take risk, of course it is impossible and hard. Using that idea to apply on everything in your life, you are never going to make anything. Loo at all the CEO, actors, and other successful individuals, do you think the steps they took are easy? Let me tell you, things that come easy go easy, we will never learn how to cherish if things just come to ourselves without any hardwork. It takes enthusiasm, talent, confidence, dedication and risk. It is my passion and my goal, I can do it because I have faith in myself and many people to support me. Wish me luck. But for now, I am going to work hard and finish this two months of training in Hong Kong with the best of my abilities.

A shoutout to people that I love and miss in no particular order:

Dad & Mom - Thanks for sending me over to Hong Kong and give me such a great opportunity to experience in a big firm.

Grandpa & Grandma - Thanks for letting me stay at the house and giving me money to spend in Hong Kong.

Sister - Stop dreaming about Leo Ku, I will introduce him to you when I am in the entertainment industry in the future.

Bryan Ku - Stop having too much concern, it seems like recently you have lots of thoughts in your head. Put them away, enjoy your summer while it lasts.

Catherine Nang - Go tell Kayla to forget Max, she deserves someone better.

Robert Apodaca - Do not waste all my time and effort that I put on you in magic, cherish your talent and work harder in magic like you used to be.

Jeffery Black - Practice magic other than Dan and Dave's materials. I want to see more improvements on you when I come back.

Terence Lai - I hope you are having fun in England. Sorry we couldn't hang out a lot last year, I promise this year I will make it up.

Kenneth Hui - I hope you had fun at camp, looking forward to see you soon.

Roger Au-Yeung - Please buy lots of stuff in Japan, especially Commes des Garcons, Bape and Head Porter because they are half the price in Hong Kong.

Use the stairs

Something really cracked me up when I was taking the elevator up to work yesterday that I almost couldn't hold in. You all know how the closest person to the door is the one suppose to be in charge of the opening and closing button. So everyone went in and it was closing halfway and another person was running and tried to catch the ride, of course, the person that was in charge pressed open and let the person in. We were ready to go and the door was closing halfway again, and then out of no where another person ran and tried to catch this ride as well, same thing happened, door was opened again, closed halfway, another person ran... It happened almost three to four times and the guy next to me was giggling, and I was laughing so hard inside. It is just something that you have to be there.

Time for work, and it is Friday, getting ready for the weekends. Cheers.

Legvincible

I am currently "training" my legs to be invincible subconsiously, because every weekend I went shopping a lot, looked at tons of new fashion, thinking about new ideas how to match them, and deciding which ones to buy. I have finally decided to order a pair of jeans, and I have picked them up last Friday. Do not ask how much, it is expensive. Everyone has different perspective, I love fashion, so I think it worths it. I still need to buy shirts, polos, hats... I just cannot stop shopping in Hong Kong.

On the other hand, one of the most amazing thing happened couple days ago. One of my friend from CSULB tapped my shoulder when I was waiting for my boba in Mongkok, I was shocked because it is such a coincidence. Her name is Mimi, and she is now studying in Hong Kong. The reason why she was in CSULB for a semester was she was an exchange student.

I performed magic once again at the same shop called Bauhaus. All the employees are impressed and it was extremely fun. One thing I found kind of funny is since I shopped so much, most of the employees start to recognize me and told me that they recognize me. For those of you who have never been to Hong Kong or have not gone back for a while have to come to Hong Kong, because there is no question that it is one of the most exciting city in the world.

And oh, forgot to mention, I am actually working in the office at this moment, lunch time is almost over. Cheers.

Working diversely

Today is my first day working, ad it has been pretty interesting. I met with my one of my teammates, Jamie Yang, and she introduced me to lots of important people, gave me a tour in the office. She then sat down with me in the conference room to get to know a little background about me. Long story short, today I learned about the compay and read lots of articles. One thing found interesting is you do not have to know how to speak Cantonese, you just have to know how to speak English, and people in the office are extremely diverse.

After working in Hong Kong the first day for the first time, I feel that my intuition has always been correct. Employees in the states are just so god damn slow. If you are in Hong Kong, even working in McDonalds, you can feel the tension and the efficiency around you, everywhere is extremely competitive and everyone is very smart.

My heart got touched for a second today when I was walking to MTR station after dinner. On my way there, I believe a Dad was yelling at his daughter on the street, and the one and only sentence I heard from him was very sad, "I just want you to spend some time with me..." I am calling all my friends out there, spend some time with your dad, your mom, or at least give them a call if they are working overseas, cherish your time with them while it lasts.

On the other hand, for some exciting news. I am extremely excited because the competition that I has been waiting forever has finally arrived, and the time matches me, and I will not miss it. It is the "Hong Kong Open Close-up Magic Competition" which will be held on August 3rd. After competing at the World Magic Seminar in Las Vegas past month, I am more than comfortable in this competition and have confidence in it.

It is time to get home and get some rest. Cheers.

Hong Kong and me

It is currently 1:48pm and I have gotten most of my stuff done and I also went shopping already even though I did not buy anything yet. I have a very good feeling about this trip to Hong Kong, and I predict everything is going to come my way. Why? Because everyone is just so god damn nice to me for some reason, the three people sitting next to me on the plane, the taxi driver... The most interesting one was when I went to look for some jeans, one of the sales came over and promote jeans to me, and all of a sudden, another one came over and told her to let her sale jeans to me instead. And then they both asked if I came from overseas and we all started talking for a little bit. Another interesting thing is I feel weird, or I should feel proud because everywhere I go to and everywhere I enter, I am the tallest person in the room, and everyone just looked over, I feel like a celebrity.

Well, I cannot contact any of my friends yet since either I do not have their number or they are not back to Hong Kong yet. I am heading back to my home right now and waiting for my friends to call me. Cheers.
