是时候休息了；
但现在时间排的满满，
没有一天是空闲的。
是时候到外头充充电了，
算算日子，
还得忙至少十几天，
也不算多了。
是时候让自己调养调养了，
没有任何打扰，
没有任何吵杂，
没有任何压迫，
累，体力上的累不算什麽，
睡一睡就好了；
累，精神上的累才耗神，
得好好让自己放个假。

用心
昨天批了孩子们的分数，
比想象中好多了，
尤其保证班的学生。
两个星期的努力，没白费。
距离考试还有两个多月，
加把劲的话，考上 Stuyvesant 应该没问题吧！
许多家长都希望自己的孩子能进名校，
但这真的重要吗？
学习不只单单的学知识，
学习也包含了学习人生，
态度的改变，是成长的一部分。
有了正确的学习态度，
学习自然会提升。
太多时候家长及补习班太过于注重成绩，
而往往忽略了心态这一方面。
有心才能成功，
无心的话，不论如何逼，
都无法真正的提升。
或许真的考出好成绩，
但是否真的学习到了呢？
用心和不用心；
的确有许多的差别。
除了用在学习上，对人处事何尝不是一样呢？
将心比心，用心待人，
不论别人对你如何，
至少你活的比其他人更快乐。

I am back!!!
It's been a while that I didn't visit my own blog ^^ There is a lot of changes in my life past 10 months during the time my blog is blank! It's a great journey! How should I explain in words, it's just wonderful - in all three areas of my life - spiritual, love, and business.
Things are going kind of crazy and random. There is no formula whatsoever that I can follow. I just have to figure out what next along the time. Anyway, I am not alone, and which is great!
It's great to see the born of wilmawilma.com. This project has been thought of 6 years ago, and not until last year when my partner (WH) and I had talked about it. Even though it is not running as well as I thought, but I believe it will pick up sooner or later.
Life is just wonderful with so many surprises! Both good and bad surprises... Well, to be continued soon...

It's unbelievable!!!
The purpose of this blog (well, it's also a letter I sent to some authorities, working or not, it doesn't matter) is not just to complaint, but to evoke the awareness of our public servants – herein are the cops. Of course it’s not all the cops, there are good cops who are very responsible and protect the community with justice and right. However, there are inevitably some cops don’t really care, just a job for them, at least some of them don’t really “pull” their hearts out for the community.
Here’s the story:
Date: 9/16/2009
Time: Around 10:01pm – 10:47pm
Venue: Dunkin Donuts at Kissena/LIE
Police Car Number: 1794
Three of us were in Dunkin Donuts to get some tea/coffee. While one of our friends was waiting on line, and two of us, including myself were looking for seats. Basically most seats are occupied; there was a table with a guy reading newspaper, and three other seats. So we walked to there, and asking if we can sit there. He moved his two bags of sodas to another seat. We told him that we have three people, and he got mad and asked us to get another chair from other table with a very unfriendly tone.
Well, its fine, then I decided to move his sodas back to his original seat (I was thinking it’s not a big deal, it’s just sodas). All the sudden he just grabbed my hand, pulling my fingers (left hand) very hard. He was shouting at me, “Don’t touch my stuff!”
I was a little shocked with his reaction, and I was really hurt by him and my conscious told me to shout as loud as possible to make sure he stopped pulling my fingers. I actually have no idea why he’s trying to harm me since I didn’t have any weapon with me at all!!! This shouldn’t an act of protection. The worst thing was not the argument part (it wasn’t an argument at all), there was no one coming over, they just watching and sitting there, including the manager in the store.
My friend called 911 immediately. We figured that we should not confront him directly and wait till the police come. We called at 10:09pm and waited for 22 minutes, and then I called again at 10:31pm. The police showed up at 10:43pm. They just sat in the car and NEVER step out of the car. The woman seemed very unfriendly at all. I wonder isn’t that cop should be trying any possible way to help, and she sounds like she didn’t care at all!
I told her the story, including I tried to moved his sodas. She just said that I was wrong, and I told her I admitted I should ask but it was sodas (she seemed like she didn’t understand), and there is not a big deal (it was not something valuable), if yes, he didn’t allow me to touched his stuff, he can always ask politely.
When I said I forget to ask for permission, the police woman actually said, he can also “forget” to hurt you!!! Isn’t that sounds ridiculous coming out from a public servant??? Sounds like the cops actually allow something like this happen!
She also asked me if I told the management. I said they all saw what happened. She actually suggested that, “If I were you I’ll never come back to this place again!” What kind of answer is this, very irresponsible!
When my friend try to talk to her, then she stop my friend with a kind of rude manner, without actually “listen” – she actually “hear” but not “listen”! And repeated, “if someone touch your stuff, you may do the same thing”, at least twice! Then I was thinking, police actually ENCOURAGE people to harm others!!!
She actually asked me what I want her to do, and I really don’t think she would take any action, so I asked back, “since you are the cop, then what will you do, and you can tell me what should I do?” Her answer was, “just leave”. Wow! Amazing! No warning at all? And she added, “Do you guys still fight, it’s over, right?” I was thinking, if we’re still fighting for 40 minutes before the cops came, this place was already like a mess. I don’t know why she asked this and maybe she just want to see something REALLY happen before she take action? Isn’t that police supposed to prevent things happen, instead of waiting till things happen before taking action? Isn’t that too late? And this particular guy may not hurt me that much, he may hurt other people with no reason in the future, can’t the police take a little initiative or responsible to talk to this guy at least?
We were very disappointed and we left after the police left. My two fingers are still hurting where after a night, it becomes green and black from appearance (of course this is nothing compared to others, but even though this is a small incident to the eyes of the cops, but they are the one who set examples for the community, to make sure things can be prevented. Is there a way that we can have our little voice out? Society changed! People don’t care, and the cops don’t care too. People wait till things happened and take action. Why not take some prevention before it really happen?

It just feel GREAT!
After 5 weeks of summer school, despite the toughness, discipline, and the not so fun homework with low score in tests/exams, I finally see the improvement "within" the students. Not only academically, but also personally. However, they are still kids!
Seeing them getting more focus and more discipline is nothing you can buy, it's just so precious. From cheating during the tests until able to control and be honest on their scores (Imagine that the temptation of cheating is very high since they just sit very close together).
Nothing is more important than the "right" attitude and behavior... academic is just something add-on on top of the quality of a human being.
I believe that these kids will be so strong in the future, they can face any tough situation and be able to handle them well. This is just great!

How to Count Without Counting
When I first saw the subtitle, I was so amazed there is a book in Math does sound like Philosophy! It's true that people have been spending time in a lot of unnecessary activities and decision making. A lot of people just spend too much time on doing something that could be done in a lot less time. That's the problem! People don't understand why we should save time! Most of us think that we can take our time to do things, well, it's just depend... (Another decision making moment).
The title of this book is "Mathematics of Choice". It's indeed very true that we have a choice, not only in Math. God has given us choices in life for many things. We make our own choices... Do we make a good choice? Or we has been spending time to make wrong choices all the time (there are a lot of people spending too much time making wrong decision...).
However, a lot of people don't want to save their time... people are generally stubborn.. haha... They want to stay at their own status instead of change (even though they always say that they wanna change) - I think this matches Newton's First Law! Or may be we are just too "Solid", where all molecules in solid state can't really move around, and can only have very limited movement unless some external "heat" or "forces" acted upon it. Wow! Our life is just so Mathematical and Scientific!
Well, our life has so many Combinations, Permutations and Distributions...
