Isn’t this Daphne Doll so beautiful? On crappy days like today, at least I can take out my own doll and play with it.
This doll gift has many sentimental meaning to it. For starters, I never owned a doll. My parents were frugal and would choose books over toys. When I begged for a cabbage patch doll, my father made one for me using an old towel and some bitsandbobs around the house.
Clearly, as you can imagine , it was not the same.
Secondly, I joined the Unduk Ngadau years back because my sister (who was part of the Klang Valley committee) needed participants. I was the oldest there. Probably the oldest participant till today. LOL. So it’s nice to have a memory of that moment since I didn’t take any pictures.
Memang style cowboy when I joined the pagaent - no full costume , no makeup team. Just me and my bag.
Finally, it was a lovely gift from a friend who lives miles away. He’s just been so kind and charitable to the family and I and I him only happiness in his journey to rediscovering his authentic self.
God bless you Chris and Wesley.
Love

Primaries and Disqualifications (Lee Yee)
Elsie Leung said, not disclosing all of the provisions of the National Security Law (NSL) is to prevent invoking clashes in society, and that the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (NPCSC) has already conducted sufficient consultations with different sectors.
Without disclosing the provisions of the NSL, what was used to consult these different sectors? This point alone discloses how absolutely absurd the so-called “sufficient consultations”, “different sectors”, and frankly, her entire statement are.
There have been commotions in the online community around the suggestion of achieving international sanctions through large-scale disqualifications, focusing mainly on the contradictions between the pro-democracy camp’s primaries and a large number of candidates. Primaries mean an aggregation of votes, to avoid an overextended list of candidates who would be dividing up the votes and possibly leading to the reduction of the number of elected seats. Most of the pro-democracy camp, including young candidates, are supportive of having primaries. The primary selection mechanism stipulates that only the winners are able stand for election. Some suggested that even the losers from the primaries should go ahead and stand for election, and were criticized for violating the principles of primaries.
These principles, however, were drafted before the NSL. It was when the legal profession and some Democrats still believed there was room for negotiation, when the retired former Chief Justice Honorable Andrew Li Kwok-nang proposed to protect the implementation details within Hong Kong under the premise of accepting the NSL. Some Democrats also suggested to bring back Article 23 in place of the implementation of the NSL by NPC, or to adopt the sunset clause. If the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is willing to bargain, the red line for disqualifications of candidates could be drawn at the absolute “anti-NSL”, while turning a blind eye towards the Democrats who are willing to negotiate, such that LegCo would continue to have “decorative” Democrats.
The CCP categorically rejected all bargaining, and Andrew Li accused the Hong Kong NSL as completely undermining the independent judicial power guaranteed by the Basic Law. Martin Lee stated that “the Hong Kong NSL must be resisted fully”, and “people whose attention is being diverted to the devil in the details have already fallen into the trap devised by the CCP”. Moderates who wish to main the current system, to avoid “scorching-earth”, are already at a dead end.
The complete societal rift induced by the NSL is simple: on one side, you have people who blindly support an NSL without any disclosed provisions, including the pro-Beijing camp and the voluntarily “visually-impaired”; on the other side, you have citizens who support democracy. According to a poll conducted by the Hong Kong Institute of Public Opinion at the end of last month, 96% of the “supporters of the pro-democracy camp” opposed the NSL, and only 1% supported the law; Among those who are “non supporters of the pro-democracy camp”, 62% expressed support towards having the NSL implemented by the NPC, but those who opposed still amounted to 29%.
This was a poll done a month ago. With those who were willing to negotiate being rejected at this point, the societal rift should be more apparent. The situation is clear: any participant of the pro-democracy camp’s primaries, given that they have not been too vocal about opposing the NSL, even if they do win the primaries, have are able to join the election without being disqualified, they could still end up not winning the election. If citizens are to woefully cast their votes for candidates who do not oppose the NSL, looking at the poll, there’s only a 1% chance among the “supporters of the pro-democracy camp”.
Another situation that is clear: those who have openly and clearly opposed the NSL and somehow escape the fate of disqualification of candidacy is almost impossible. Even if there were, the voters would be doubtful of the candidates’ true stance, leading to a slim chance of getting elected.
As such, for the pro-democracy candidates, it is almost impossible to either oppose the NSL or to be disqualified for opposing. This, is precisely why the original intent of an aggregation of votes through the mechanism of primaries is likely to fail.
Disregard the results of the primaries. Flood the election with a loud and clear message of anti-NSL from a whale of candidates. This is the only way out. Having all or the majority being disqualified would be an obvious deprivation of Hongkongers’ right to vote, a guaranteed way to get international attention.
How much of a shockwave will international sanctions send to the CCP? An opinion piece published in Taiwan suggested that a senior Chinese official who may be sanctioned by the US because of the Hong Kong NSL has hidden assets in the US that are worth as much as US$3.1 billion. In 2013, Snowden, a former CIA employee who is now in Russia, announced that Chinese officials’ foreign deposits amounted to US$4.8 trillion. In normal circumstances, cash holdings account for only one-third of total assets, meaning that the total assets should amount to tens of trillions of US dollars (Hong Kong’s foreign exchange reserves are only about US$440 billion). And these were figures from 7 years ago.
International sanctions are, inevitably, internationally “earth-scorching”, where the side carrying out the sanctions will also suffer immensely. Freezing the assets of sanctioned officials in foreign countries will not help the sanctioning parties at all. Senior Chinese officials could care less about the Basic Law and Hong Kong’s human rights, but to laugh off one’s own properties? This is Hong Kong’s “earth-scorching” bargaining chip.

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”
Something I’ve been working on lately is practicing to be more proactive and mindful in my response towards what happens in my life rather than being a passive reactive participant.
I’ve first heard this quote during an argument with my family member and the quote was read to me with good intentions. At the time I was too ticked off to truly understand the meaning and thought the person to be condescending and trying to place undue blame on me.
At the time I did not understand by being a passive reactive participant to upsetting stimulus I was actually putting myself in a torturous prison of my own emotions. Being proactive and mindful isn’t the same as saying whatever awful things that happen to you is your fault. I mean you by all means could 100% be the victim. It does however let you tap into the true reasons of why you’re feeling the way you are and allow you to think in the space between stimulus and response and about the fruitfulness of your reactions. It also allows you to more effectively communicate your feelings in a constructive non- destructive manner and drastically increase the chances of you actually achieving a win-win outcome. It will no longer be just you blowing steam off yet not achieving the real end goal of bringing happiness to you and the person you’re arguing with.
Lastly there’s no book more interesting to each of us than a book that talks about us right? Think of it as a self experimental study each time - stay curious, and observe the space, observe the responses ❤️ Could be fun don’t you think?
英文寫太長了啦夭壽
你們有沒有過發完火之後
超級後悔自己的所作所為
想把話回收的?
來來來有什麼經驗可以歡迎分享🤣
其實呢,
我小時候是個很不乖很公主病的孩子。
爸媽除了會為了成績罵人
還有很嚴厲的門禁
跟不准菸酒之外
對其他生活的要求很少說不。
想買什麼吃什麼去哪裡玩
其實都很寵著我。
雖然不敢在家裡造次
但是在外面小時候是個小惡霸🐑
脾氣很差如果朋友不依著我會抓狂😱
國中開始打工之後
陸續遇到很多很好的人
讀了很多很好的書
還有身邊的朋友都是
不離不棄從小學到大學畢業
都在身旁默默幫助著我改變
讓我知道我行我素
讓情緒驅使其實會傷害到很多人。
不知道大家有沒有聽過這句話?
“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”
發生了什麼壞事有可能不是我們的錯。
但是在發生的事與
我們做出反應中間有個空間,
在這個心靈的空間裡面
有著我們選擇建設性的反應
或是把我們自己鎖在心靈監牢的權利
在我們的反應裡我們可以成長
也會得到渴望的心靈的自由。
我們有可能百分百是受害者,
也有可能是別人百分百對不起我們
不體貼我們
對我們沒禮貌等等
別人怎麼對我們怎麼樣我們無法控制
但是我們怎麼去在發生的事
與反應中間的心靈空間裡
思考以及選擇我們的反應
是我們完全可以控制的。
絕對不是說不能難過不能生氣
只是可以開始比較注意跟省思
為什麼自己會對某些事情選擇某種反應?
了解之後也可以比較接受負面情緒
與這些負面情緒找到最好的共處方法
也可能會進而漸漸的發覺
我們對某些反應特別大
是因為我們加註在他人的行為上的一些
自我本身的包袱,標籤,與偏見
在驅使著我們。
同一個人的行為
在不同人的眼光裡反應百百種。
在自己的心靈空間裡想一下,
為什麼自己的反應會是如此是很有趣的!
如果有本關於你自己的破解密碼的書
你會不會很想看?
每個人都有打開這本書大看特看的力量。
了解自己可以越不被情緒影響工作
影響生活
影響人際關係
跟剝奪自己舒服過一天的權利。
了解自己
最受惠的不是別人
是我們自己。
當然啦~
說的比做得簡單
還是得繼續加油
森七七的時候還是會內心一堆三字經
不然就是和朋友大肆吐苦水
然後冷靜完才會花時間
去讀一下關於自己這本書🤣
慢慢來💪
一起加油吧!
#怎麼感覺往出家的路邁進
#誰發火完有後悔過的舉手
#很感謝很衰老是不會對我說教等我想通的朋友們🤣
