There's not just one road to the destination, but many roads. You just need to take the little step that’s right in front of you, and then the next one, and a few years down the track, they will seem like massive achievements.
通往目的地的路不止一條,有很多路可走。你只需要邁出眼前這一小步,然後再邁出下一步,幾年下來,將會成為巨大成就。

I didn’t meet my father until I was 6 years old. My parents had a comfortable, middle-class life in Shanghai, or as close as you could get under communism. But they always wanted to live overseas, and just before I was born, my dad came to Sydney to set things up. I don’t know why, but in the end, my mother and I didn’t join him until I was 6.
•a middle-class life 中產階級生活
•set things up 打點一切
•live overseas 往海外生活
•in the end 最後 (表達在經過一段時間或一連串事件之後的結果)
直到六歲前我都未曾見過父親。我的雙親在上海過著舒適的中產階級生活,或著說,在共產階級下所能得到的最接近的生活。他們一直響往海外生活,就在我出生前,我父親來到雪梨打點一切。但不知何故,直到六歲那年我與母親才終於與父親團聚。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Unfortunately, half a year after we arrived, he left us. That was a huge shock. Our transition had already been quite difficult, as we both didn't speak English. Also, as Shanghai was such a big bustling city, Sydney felt a bit like the countryside, especially on the weekends, as no shops were open back then!
•shock 令人震驚的事件(或經歷);驚愕,震驚 (come as a great shock 讓人倍感震驚)
•transition 轉變;過渡
•a bustling city 繁華都會
不幸的是,就在我跟母親抵達半年後,父親離開了我們。這是個巨大的打擊,因爲我們不會說英文,在適應過渡期本就已過得相當艱辛。此外,不同於上海的繁華都會,雪梨更像鄉下,尤其在週末,那時連商店都不開門。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
We were very much reliant on my dad, not only financially, but also as a conduit into the wider community. So to have that broken was quite distressing. I remember Mum crying a lot. As we had become socially isolated, we didn’t find out anything about Centrelink, so we survived on her savings for a while, and then got some help from her family back in China.
•be reliant on… 依賴...
•a conduit into 進入...的渠道
•distressing (adj.) 令人苦惱的,令人擔憂的
•become socially isolated 變得孤立於社會
•survive on her savings 僅靠的她積蓄過日子
我們相當依賴我父親,不僅是經濟,他也是我們進入更廣泛社區的渠道。因此,當局面被打破時令人相當痛苦,我還記得母親時常哭泣。由於我們孤立於社會,所以我們並不知道澳洲社會福利聯絡中心 (Centrelink)的任何資訊,僅靠母親的積蓄支撐了一段時間,然後從母親在中國的娘家得到一些幫助。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Eventually, Mum moved us down to Melbourne, where we were able to make some new networks and family friendships. But I was bullied a bit at school about things like my food and clothing! Whenever someone bullied me, I would defend myself, but because I didn’t have the language skills to explain to the teacher why, I got in trouble quite a bit. I ended up having to move school 3 times before I came to Balwyn Primary School, which was relatively multicultural.
•be able to 能夠
•make new networks 建立新的人脈,關係網
•be bullied 被霸凌
•language skills 語言能力
•get in trouble 惹上麻煩
•end up 最後處於;最後成爲;以…告終
•relatively 相對地
•multicultural 多元文化的
最後,母親帶著我搬遷到墨爾本,在那我們能夠建立起新的網絡與家庭情誼。然而。我在學校飽受霸凌,例如我的食物及衣物。每當有人霸凌我,我會自我防衛,但我的語言技巧不足以向老師解釋事發原因,因此常常陷入麻煩。後來我不得不再三轉學,直到就讀相對多元文化的博文小學(Balwyn Primary School)。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
After that, I did alright. Music featured very prominently in my life. I had started learning the violin from the age of 2.5 years old and even with all the troubles that were going on in my life, had somehow still kept up with it. As a result, I got a music scholarship to Trinity Grammar School. But even there I used to get into quite a lot of mischief, and would often skip school to go to the movies.
•do alight 過得不錯,做的不錯
•feature (v.) 以…為特色;給…以顯著的地位
•prominently 重要地;著名地;突出地,顯眼地
之後,我便過得不錯。音樂在我生活中佔有重要的一席之地,我從兩歲半開始學習小提琴,儘管生活中事事不如意,我依然堅持不輟。因此,我獲得三一文法學校( Trinity Grammar School)的音樂獎學金。但即使在那,我也常惡作劇、逃學看電影。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
By the end of year 11, I was told I would have to either repeat the year, or consider going to another school, which was quite humiliating for my mum. I decided to move school and surprisingly, I ended up doing quite well in year 12! As a result, I ended up getting into a double degree in Law and Music at Monash.
•repeat the year 留級 ; 重唸一年
•humiliating 令人感到恥辱的,丟臉的
11年級結束時,我被告知要麽被留級,要麼考慮轉學,這對我母親來說相當丟人。我決定轉學,而令人驚訝的是,我在12年級的時候表現優異,最後錄取蒙納士大學法律與音樂雙學位。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
When I started, my first thought was that I didn’t belong because I had done so badly in school up to year 11 and everyone else seemed so smart. But I put my head down, got through it, and ended up getting a job in the legal department of a major manufacturing company, which was a different approach to what most law students do.
•do not belong 不屬於這
•put my head down 埋頭苦幹
•the legal department of ...的法律部門
•a different approach 不同途徑
•approach (思考問題的)方式,方法,態度
當我開始進入大學,最初的想法是我不屬於這,因為我在11年級前都表現不佳,而這裡的人似乎都聰明絕頂。但我埋頭苦幹,咬牙撐過,最後在一家大型製造公司的法律部門找到工作,這與多數法律系學生的途徑不同。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
I really enjoyed it. It was hard work, but I learned a lot of foundational business, legal and corporate communication skills. After that I worked in corporate governance in RMIT, then started to moonlight as a lecturer in the Law Faculty. Eventually, they asked me if I wanted to do a PhD and I blindly said yes! I next worked at Swinburne University, and then was head-hunted to lead the corporate legal team at the Commercial Passenger Vehicles Commission.
•foundational 基礎的
•communication skills 溝通技巧
•corporate governance
•moonlight (v.) (尤指瞞著僱主)從事第二職業,兼職
•headhunt (v.) 物色(人才); 挖角
•legal team 法律團隊
我非常喜歡這份工作,這是份辛苦的工作,但我學習了很多基礎商業、法律以及公司溝通技巧。之後我在皇家墨爾本理工大學( RMIT)從事公司治理工作,並開始兼職擔任法律系講師。後來他們問我是否想要讀博士,我便盲目地答應了。接下來,我在斯威本大學(Swinburne University)工作,再被挖角到商用小客車委員會領導法律團隊。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
I had a good life, but after a while, I realised I wanted a different kind of job. I could see my seniors were making a lot of money but that their family life was not that good. And looking at my own upbringing, I wanted to be the kind of father who could be present in my own kids’ lives. So I decided on dentistry. It would not only allow me to use the hand skills that I had developed from playing the violin, but also the analytical and reasoning skills that I'd developed in law. Plus it would be flexible, and offer me a stable income and the chance to meet different people every day!
•upbringing 教養
•decide on sth 決定某事或東西
•analytical and reasoning skills 分析和推理能力
•offer a stable income 提供穩定收入
我的生活很不錯,但一段時間後,我意識到自己想要一份不同的工作。我知道前輩們賺了很多錢,但他們的家庭生活並不美滿。看著自己的成長經歷,我想要成為可以在孩子生活中出席的父親,所以我決定改行當牙醫。這項職業能讓我使用從拉小提琴中發展出的手部技巧,也能運用我在法律中發展出的分析與推理技能。此外,這個職業相當靈活,能為我提供穩定收入,並有機會每天與不同的人見面。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
My now fiancée, who was my girlfriend at the time, was also applying for further study, and coincidentally we both got into university in South Australia, so we moved to Adelaide together a few years ago.
•fiancée 未婚妻
•at the time 當時
•apply for 申請
•further study 繼續教育,進修;進一步研究;深造
•coincidentally 碰巧地;巧合地
我的未婚妻,當時的女友,也申請繼續深造,巧的是我們都考上南澳大學(University of South Australia),所以幾年前一起搬到阿得雷德( Adelaide)。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
I was lucky to get a university job at Flinders University. Initially, I started out as a casual lecturer in the law school, but I’ve since transitioned into teaching health law and research, and I’m currently writing a few books on the intersection between law and medicine. And also, obviously, trying to finish my dentistry degree!
•start out as… 起初擔任...
•transition into… 轉變到...
我很幸運的在福林德斯大學(Flinders University)找到工作,起初我在法學院擔任臨時講師,但我後來轉換到醫事法教學及研究。目前我正撰寫幾本關於法律與醫學相接的書籍,並努力完成我的牙醫學位。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Mum eventually retrained as a Chinese high school teacher, and she’s still teaching to this day. Like most first generation migrants, she struggled quite a lot, and invested heavily in my success. After we’re married, my fiancée and I are planning to have children, and I’m sure they will have it much easier than I did.
•retrain 重新培養;再培訓;再訓練
•to this day 至今
•first generation migrants 第一代移民
•struggle a lot 掙扎奮鬥許久
•have it much easier 過的比較輕鬆
我的母親最終重新接受培訓,成為一名中文高中老師並執教至今。如同大多數第一代移民,她掙扎奮鬥許久,並為我的成功投資甚多。我與未婚妻打算婚後生孩子,我確信孩子會過的比我輕鬆得多。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Still, a lot of the failures that I’ve had in my life have really informed a lot of my successes. Looking back, I wouldn't really want to change that to have a smoother life.
•inform [正式] 影響某人的態度或意見
https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/inform
•have a smoother life 有一個更順遂的人生
我的生活中的種種失敗確實為我的成功提供借鑑。回首過去,我不會想要改變那些坎坷經歷去擁有一個更順遂的人生。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Over the years, I've learned that perseverance is very important. I hope that through telling my story, I can be an example to others who might be in a similar position as I was: to show that there's not just one road to the destination, but many roads. You just need to take the little step that’s right in front of you, and then the next one, and a few years down the track, they will seem like massive achievements.
•over the years 多年來
•perseverance 不屈不撓,堅持不懈
•be an example 成為榜樣
•be in a similar position 處於相似的處境
•down the road/line/track 將來(的路)
多年來,我學到堅持不懈是至關重要的。我希望透過講述自己的故事,能成為其他可能與我有相似處境的人的榜樣:向他們展示通往目的地的路不止一條,有很多路可走。你只需要邁出眼前這一小步,然後再邁出下一步,幾年下來,將會成為巨大成就。

【乞~嗤~】寶寶流鼻水是傷風還是鼻敏感?
⭐自小遠離生冷食物調理體質
⭐一歲起可每天飲用米水健脾胃
#星期二提升正能量
判斷嬰兒鼻敏感
鼻敏感是很常見的過敏症狀,在香港每4名兒童便有1人患有鼻敏感,成因分為先天與後天,如父母其中一方為過敏體質,就有1/3機會遺傳給下一代;如父母雙方都屬過敏體質,遺傳給下一代的機率高達3/4以上。
鼻敏感常見症狀為流鼻水,但嬰兒的鼻腔黏膜脆弱敏感,接觸到刺激物,如溫度改變、灰塵等就容易流鼻水,如何分辨寶寶患有鼻敏感?要靠父母細心觀察寶寶的日常習慣與症狀,如發現情況持續,要帶寶寶就醫處理。
鼻敏感嬰兒常見症狀:
- 連續性噴嚏
- 多流清鼻涕
- 眼紅,多流眼水
- 鼻塞,經常張口呼吸、發出鼻鼾,甚至影響睡眠質素,以致日間容易疲倦
- 眼鼻痕癢,不時用手捽眼與鼻
- 黑眼圈,因為鼻三角血液循環不好而形成
從中醫角度看,小朋友「臟腑嬌嫩,形氣未充」,即器官還未發育完善、尤其脾、腎三個臟腑較為虛弱的話,就容易患上鼻敏感,自小好好調理體質,少飲食生冷,有助減低鼻敏感對生活、睡眠及學習的影響。

Identify infant nasal allergy
Nasal allergy is common, as one in every four children in Hong Kong suffer from this problem. Some are congenital, while some would acquire this problem as they become older. If either of the parents has allergy problems, the children would have 1/3 of the chance of inheriting it. If both parents also have the same issue, chances for their children to inherit this health condition would be more than 75%.
The most common symptom of nasal allergy is runny nose, but since the nasal mucosa of a toddler has yet to fully develop, it is weak and sensitive. Hence, a sudden temperature change and dusty environment can cause the toddler to have a runny nose. How do we know if the baby has a nasal allergy? Parents would have to observe the child’s symptoms closely. If the condition persists, do seek proper medical treatment.
Symptoms of a nasal allergy:
- incessant sneezing
- clear-fluid runny nose
- red and teary eyes
- nasal congestion; the baby has to breathe through his or her mouth, keeps snorting, feels tired easily during the day, and unable to sleep well
- itchy eyes and nose; constantly scratch them to relieve the itch
- dark circles due to poor blood circulation around the nose
From the perspective of Chinese Medicine, children’s internal organs are tender and are yet to form completely. Hence, their lungs, spleen, and kidneys are still very weak, making them an easy victim of the nasal allergy. With proper care and diet (consume less raw and cold foods and drinks), parents should be able to help the children reduce the negative effects nasal allergy has on their lives.

From the bottom of my heart, I’m so happy and grateful for all of the love, truly I can’t thank you enough.
A lot of things have been happening to me these past few months, whether it’s good or bad, I’ve learned to be grateful for the little things and learned to change my perspective towards things in a different way.
Throughout my life so far, at this age I’ve met a lot of amazing people from different walks of life and I’m forever grateful that I get to learn a thing or two from these amazingly wonderful people, even though it is for a short period of time, I’m happy to have stumbled upon them truly.
Despite whatever that we’re currently going through, I got the opportunity to spend my quarantine with my family and that doesn’t happen often. For 3 years, I’ve been wanting to have a proper Ice Cream Cake for my birthday but never really got the chance to get it but Alhamdulilah 2021, finally got it! Thanks Kak, Sabrina, Abah and Mama. Infact I’d call my friends virtually via Zoom Calls & Google Meet, we’d call & talk, laugh till it’s 4/5AM in the morning, I missed all of them truly
I even got the opportunity to spend my birthday with some of the #FAIZIES which I didn’t expect it to happen at all, they really did surprised me and it means the world to be receiving that, Thanks guys. It’s a memory that I’ll remember always and forever. You guys made my day truly, I love all of you.
As I grow, I believe that we’ll never stop learning as we live and as we grow we will keep meeting new obstacles in life that’ll make us wonder and think. Furthermore, I believe that from these obstacles that we’ve all went through, it’ll mold us into better & stronger individuals, as we grow. Moving on, Letting go of things that it is beyond our control
17th June 2021 12AM ||
I am beyond grateful for everything that has happened, Alhamdulilah. I’m so happy to be celebrating my 19th birthday with all of you, to many more InsyaAllah. I’ll keep striving and try to be better & better, I love all of you wholeheartedly x.

Ever had someone offering you a business opportunity?
Ever rejected someone because you are afraid you are gonna be in a scam!
What if this is legit? Have you ever thought to yourself about it?
If you're so afraid then stay stuck. But if you want change, take risks but do it wisely!
Here's my take on this because I was once a huge skeptic and the one who has given all these excuses to everyone who dare offer me an opportunity. Until I knew if I want change in my life, I have to step out of my comfort zone and be smart about it.
And now I have found the right company and right system to take me to where I want to be! If you want to give yourself this chance then drop me a message on either of my channels.❤️
But if you refuse to accept what I say and stay in your made-up beliefs then by all means, stay ☺️ Stay and Do nothing. But don't complain. Go eat ice cream. Stay stuck.
?????????????????
Be grateful for everything, because what you have, you will be given more. But if you have no gratitude, then what you have will also be taken away.

How good is Japanese food at Singapore’s food court? To find out, I visited a local food court and tried 5 menu from a Japanese stall. To be honest, I have never really tried Japanese food at a food court because they don’t really look that authentic and good... Hopefully this video will change my perspective. Let’s feast.
