Transitional Period

I look at the coming two months as a transitional period.

From life in UK to life in HK.

I moved on last Saturday, with the help from my brother, to his place. Don't mind sleeping in the living room at all, as long as his flat mates are ok with it. Also shipped a lot of stuff to HK on Saturday. Hope they will all arrive safely as it contains a lot of worthy stuff + memories.

I used to "commute" for 3 mins (or 40mins to Edgware Rd office), whereas now at least at hour. 20 mins on foot, 20 mins on train, 20 mins on bus. But, amazingly, I've been arriving at the office much earlier than before. This week so far I wake up at 8:15 every morning, which is quite good in my standard.

In addition to this, I've been working hard at work. No more procrastination Ray, real work! Otherwise you won't succeed, in anything.

Also now home feels more like home because there are people, and it's much larger. A rough estimate is this flat is 15 times larger than the studio I lived in last week.

Many happened this week around the World. One thing to note is that this month marks the 40th anniversary of the start of China's cultural revolution under Chairman Mao. It's something that shouldn't have happened, and should never happen again. This page from BBC has some interesting view on it - see here. My favourite remark is about foundamental hatred between human beings.

Also this week I've finished the book about Chinese history (the book is very brief). Unfortunately, as it was published in mainland China, it's biased towards the Communist Party. The last sixth of the book is about history in the last 80 years, about how Communist Party rose from nothing, and eventually took over KuoMinDang to establish the central government of PRC. One thing the book mentioned was Communists used the reason "not allowing one party to rule the government" to kick out KuoMinDang. But it looks like the case for themselves in all the years after the civil war.

Enough for now, and sorry about the bad English and poor explanation. Very tired now and don't want to spend hours to refine it.
