夏蟲不可語冰
[Case study]
Ming, male, late 20s, F5 level. Married and divorced in his early 20s. He got one school age kid, let call him Little Ming. Ming live with his parents, one in early 70s with chronic illness and one in mid-60s, and his son in a low rent apartment. He is not very bright, but he work hard to support his family.
Ming works as a salesmen, the kind you see on the street of MongKok or CWB. He wakes up at 9:30am, got to work and 10:30 for daily briefing, on the street working at about 11am. He usually pack up and leave the street at 11:00 pm, and then go back to office, submit all the sales and documentation. At about 1:00 am he take a bus home, go to sleep at 2:00am.
Little Ming, typical school age kid, wake up and go to school at about 7:30am and leave school in the afternoon. Because one of his grandparent is not very healthy, they don't have the energy to take care of him after school, so he is at the care of his relative until dinner time. Grand parents take care of him until bed time.
In weekdays, Ming only see his son is when Little Ming is asleep. Ming get 2 weekend days off per months, he love his kid and he spend all his time with him whenever possible.
[Case Study end]
Ming is real, he's my relative living in HK. I'm sure he is not alone in this situation. There are many people living like this.
Kids are not computers. You cannot teach value just by giving instructions. Kid learn by imitating people around them. Kid learn positive value from people they have a positive relationship with. Being around takes time. It funny someone said it is about QUALITY, not QUANTITY. If the quantity is so small like the case above, how great is the quality?
Money does not solve every problem in the world. However, many things taken for granted has a correlation with your social economical class. Having time to do the thing you wanted to do, a symbol of middle class life style, certainly is related to your net worth.

終於買左iphone4
其實自己個iphone 3G仲好地地,不過一來冇約在身, 二來近排買賣蘋果有少少賺, 三來原來放返舊機都可以賣到兩舊水, 而新機都只係$199+2年約, 所以身痕出左新機.
iphone4 點好\唔好基本上講得既都有人既曬, 所以冇打算講
唯一有小小意外既iphone4同大部份小形speaker 有 interference, 對computer speaker久唔久就咇咇聲咁叫有d煩
