Day 3 Training – VH-YTN
Today, I have finished the day 3 training related to the climb and descend. Again, recall the admonishment from my mentors and instructors, I am better to put the aims of the exercise as a top-target while I should make improvement at my weakness. I do remember Dean told me that I should not trace

2015-12-05 Rainy day is not that bad
In a raining afternoon, the sky is overcast and covered with layers of cloud. Although it is chilled and damp outside, it cannot bother my family gathering in a Chinese-style restaurant (茶樓).

2015-11-07 The First Flight – Fail in the competent test

Checklist and Improvement~
2015.10.31 I have back Hong Kong for 3 months as well as have been working for 2 months. Rightly, I am not working since what I obtain from the job is far more than I contribute to it. Recall the admonish from my instructors in HKU Space, they told me (us) that I(we) have to write

Since the last “diary” approximately a month ago, I have time to type a new one eventually as it is day-off tomorrow. The reason why I opt to launch a new post is that today is wonderful and memorable. I have been working in this “company” for a month and everything seems to be on track –

Life-long Learning: 人生是不斷修正的過程~

Rightly, as a fresh graduate, without any working experience as well as not the “first-hon” graduate, it is very difficult to seek for even an interview here. Fortunately, my boss choose to believe in me and offer an excellent position to me so that I

人生就是一次旅行
現在是2013年9月14日的晚上10時28分(GMT+8),我坐在香港國際機場一號客運大樓的一角,看著四周的旅客,有一個的,有一雙的,也有一團的,有老的,有幼的,有在滑手機的,也有在看書的,書?如果您有緣在書店拿起一本有我這一堆字的東西,那我的「夢」就實現了!那您呢?Do you have a Dream? 其實,我相信不只年青人,生活在地球的每一個人都有自己的「夢」,那為什麼不把它實現呢?我知道過程是難的,過程中有機會受到各種干擾的因素影響,但試問世上有多少人可以一帆風順、心想事成呢!即使有再多「完美」的計劃,每一秒都總可能會有意想不到的意外,每當有突然狀況,如果是好的我當然開心,但如果是壞的,我會感到害怕、惶恐,可是我知道不能停下來,因為只有積極面對,刻服所有的問題、困難,我才能完成我的旅程-人生! 對了,短短的18天,我發現我想利用這次寫旅記的機會就像實現了一個「夢」! 後記: tommykwan.com 之旅記為節錄版本,有機會再把這次 LONDON + PARIS 2013 的旅記跟大家分享~
