Regarding Eskimo-Aleut and Husky

Eskimo-Aleut is a language family native to Alaska, parts of the Arctic regions and Siberia.

The stem meaning of the word "Eskimo" is said to be "eaters of raw meats".

The Eskimo language is divided into two branches, the "Inuit"(因紐特) languages and the "Yup'ik"(尤皮克) languages.

The Aleut(阿留申) language is spoken in the Aleutian Islands and the Pribilof Islands.

The Inuit(Plural) people, or a Inuk(Singular) person, form a group of culturally similar indigenous peoples inhabiting the Arctic regions of Greenland, Canada and Alaska.

Yup'ik people are a group of indigenous or aboriginal peoples of western, southwestern, and south-central Alaska and the Russian Far East. 

The Iñupiat (or Inupiaq) are an Alaskan Native people, whose traditional territory spans Norton Sound on the Bering Sea to the Canada–United States border. They also speak the Inuit language.

"Husky" was used to mean "Dog" in the Inuit language. In modern English, "Husky" is defined as sled-type dog used in northern regions. "Husky" is generally separated into two major types by its birthplace: Siberia and Alaska.

Siberian Husky(哈士奇) is a middle-size, usually docile but playful species.

"Alaskan Husky", or Alaskan Malamute(馬拉穆), is a large-size, heavy fur species.

臘腸狗與虎紋龍 - 潤色版

這一天，是風和日麗、萬里青天的好日子。

臘腸狗一家的獨生子「軒軒」快快樂樂地去出門玩——軒軒有純棕色的長長的身體；雖然他的四肢短幼，但他非常活潑好動——軒軒可很愛玩耍呢。

軒軒兩腿的雙掌踏着乾泥路；他看看白卷雲；他聽聽林鳥鳴；他嗅嗅三葉草。

他就這樣子，玩了一個小時多，離家越來越遠，到達一個不知名的公園的入口。

軒軒走到ｎ字型的鋼欄旁，看到他右邊的木椅上坐着一隻他從沒見過的人物。 那位人物．．．．．．她全身 淡紫色的，可又佈滿一些深灰色的橫紋；還有．．．還有像鱷魚一般的鱗片，但垂着的頭上長着像是鹿的角，身後長着短幼的尾巴。那位人物的身上，散發着未知及奇妙的氛圍。

軒軒天不怕地不怕，他懷着好奇心，奔跑到那位紫色人物的面前。

這一下軒軒可看清楚了：那是一頭龍。

他驚訝地睜大著眼睛；他父母曾經說過，一生之中，都幾乎不可能遇見龍的。

那頭灰紋紫龍並沒有動；她就死死地、直直地看着公園裡的石地；她滿臉哀愁。

軒軒是位單純的小孩；他嘗試去逗紫龍笑：他在她面前追自己的尾巴。他搔紫龍的癢。他講了一個笑話。

正當軒軒感到疲累時，一道黑影遮蓋了軒軒和紫龍。

兩位幾乎都同時抬起頭，看到了一頭龐然大物：佈滿純白直紋的翡翠龍。

軒軒和紫龍對綠龍的出現都藏不住驚訝。下一秒，綠龍對紫龍緩慢地伸出了爪子：爪背朝下，爪尖向着紫龍。

過了半響，紫龍露出了微笑。她抓住綠龍的爪子，快速地從木椅上站了起來，展開穿了洞的翅膀，兩龍便捲起了一陣風，飛走了。軒軒被這道風吹離地面，拋進附近的噴水池裡；毫無髪傷。

軒軒爬出噴水池，撥開沾着水滴的毛髪——他轉過身，目睹一紫一綠二龍飛往泛橙的太陽去，越變越小，彷彿要飛進太陽的圓心裡去。

軒軒開心地笑著，嗅著自己早前留下來的氣味，回到家裡去了。

My Dreams

When I was a child, I dreamed:

• A Peaceful World
• A Great Man
• A Kind Person
• (A Life-Winner)

When I was a schoolkid, I loved to:

• Play games
• Read books and comics
• Watch cartoons
• Learning
• Share my kindness to others (show-ing off)

When I was in secondary 1 - 3, I faced:

• Problems adjusting to new places..
• Emotional control problems.
• Facing challenges. Face forward.
• Myself. My limitations.

When I was in secondary 4-5:

Home is no longer a home.

I am heart-broken.

But I am loved.

I learn to love others.

I shut myself into a magical closet.

I want to be a "better man"

I don't want to be a father like my Dad. (拋妻棄子)

UEA.

I am in loved.

Now.

I am in loved.

I need to build my own home. Remember the houses you have lost/left, and go back, to find your Good Souls/Angels there.

I hate the quickness, rushing, "I AM LIFE WARRIOR" feelings of Hong Kong. 

But I care about those who cared about me.

I embrace life.

I fear death. But I will embrace my own death.

I hate funerals. I can't understand them. I shouldn't cry in a funeral. I don't want to feel angry and mad. It drives me crazy and nuts.

I am in pain. But I will be fine.

I don't want to be a prince or princess anymore. I am creative. I need to build my own shelter and haven. Not in Hong Kong.

I am trying very very hard to take good care of myself.

I dislike arguing, especially heated one, those that make you mad and angry. I enjoy discussing the future. To make our dreams come true.

I like writing. It helps me to organise difficult things. I am good at doing "homework" and "housework". Maybe? But it is hard to do both at the same time (soft laughter)

I like softness. I need security. I am locking up my "black history". I won't be a perfect person. We all have sins. 

Wrath. Greed. Pride.

Lust. Jealousy/Envy. Gluttony. 

Sloth.

But we can embrace the seven archangels.

Gabriel. (日曜日)

Michael. (月曜日)

Raphael. (火曜日)

Uriel. (水曜日)

Raguel. (木曜日)

Remiel/Phanuel. (金曜日)

Sariel. (土曜日)

Beware of Lucifer, the fallen angel.

Beware of the tenth circle of inferno: DAMNed Lies.

Do not betray yourself or/and the people who loves/loved.
Do not trust Statistical Data completely. Do some research before making an conclusion. Be the Scientist and the Researcher.
Be kind to children, as they are the supports/pillars of our future.
Lay good soil. Plant good seeds. Sprinkle sufficient water, lest your drown the seed/saplings.
Let the seed grows into a strong but kind tree. Cut away Dark branches.
Let your flower blossoms. Snatch away those flowers that are smelly, lest they are ill and damage the trunk.

Do not condemn yourself. Try not to damn others. Learn the meanings of the words and symbols carefully. Beware of your sins.

Build your own home. A golden rectangle, with an isosceles triangles.

Fix the emotional/spiritual/physical damage if your home is broken/shattered/damaged. Maybe. Maybe not. One's decision.

Ryan, "the little prince/le petit prince", had many dreams.

He had many travelling.
He leapt from his lonely planet to a new place. A desert.
Find a oasis. Find a wood. Find a Father. Find a Mother. Find your Partner. Find your Child.
Steps by steps, rest peacefully when you feel tiredness. Do Suitable exercises, while aware of your limitations. You deserve a healthy lifestyle.

Keep it up.

Be determined with the dreams you loved and the creatures you love.
Forgive the monsters. Forget them. Have mercy/be merciful.
Pacify/Placate your friends and families.
Treasure your time and gems. Use them well.

Love yourself continuously. Forgive those who hate you. Just leave them alone, till they come back to you.

Good luck and best wishes to you.

Good day to you, Ryan.

Take good care of yourself.

寓言 - 紫身灰紋龍

更新於4月14日

在空無一人的公園中，一頭龍以古代龍語孤鳴：「到底這樣的日子還要過多久...」滂沱大雨溫柔地拍打着地上的一切一切；雨水所敲奏出的喜悅旋律，很快就將牠的低語淹蓋過去了。

雨水早已沾濕了牠久坐著的半圓石頭；牠那左短右長的雙角；牠那魁悟而淡紫中帶着深灰色橫紋的龍體；牠那健壯的四肢......還有它以魔法隱藏了的破爛翅膀。然而，紫身灰紋龍亞瑪氟鉰抬着頭望著天，根本感受不到體外的低溫和潮濕，即使雨水剛好掉落到牠的眼球，也自然地隨著牠的臉頰流掉。

牠的靈魂有百分之八十一擁抱著輕飄飄的絕望；有百分之十七死命地拉扯著沉重的希望。她的眼球掃射著黑沉沉的天空。牠渴望著照射在身上的光明和溫暖；牠注視著天空有否出現一道翠綠色的輝閃；牠期盼著牠生命中那唯一的主宰的教贖。

可是，牠的希望卻一直、一直落空。雨水還是下個不停，雲層穩定地向著赤道行進。只有一對狗隻夫婦撐著紅底藍點的大雨傘漫步經過。丈夫嘻嘻哈哈，深深地嗅著他手中的晚餐材料，妻子滿臉幸福地靠着那一隻同時㩗著購物袋和穩妥地抓著傘柄的毛毛手臂。亞瑪氟鉰情不自禁地將視線從天空轉向這一對美滿的家庭，身不由己地心臟抽緊著，直至兩隻——叫甚麼品種的犬隻?——在公園的叢籬後失去了踪影。亞瑪氟鉰再次堅定地瞧著上天，回到那寂寞的深淵裡去了。

雨水固執地降下著、時間無情地流逝著；太陽在雲後劃過當天最後的弧線，消失於地平線之後。殘缺的月亮也從西邊的山岥冒出來，照亮著雲層的背面。亞瑪氟鉰的肚子低低地抱怨道：你已經好幾天沒好好吃東西了。可是牠不理，只是從兩個鼻孔噴出了淡橙色的火焰，沉重地吸著濕冷的空氣：今天也是沒有發生甚麼事；再等下去也只是磨削自己的力量和生命。

牠軟弱地站了起來、展開翅膀，飛回自己的古木老窩去。牠以絕望的聲線安慰著自己：「殘忍的今天也將會結束...明天、明天，便會等到的祂的...」這話音尤如安眠曲似的，讓牠緩慢地進入夢鄉。

牠在夢中夢見一隻黃衣白褲的棕色犬仔。他呀，看上去有點像今天那對夫婦。那隻小狗追自己那條短幼的尾巴。他搔牠的腰部。他說了一個一點也不好笑的笑話。夢中的亞瑪氟鉰很困惑，但並無不快的感覺。

第二天，亞瑪氟鉰醒來，漠然地望著萬里青天在西方懸浮著的太陽。溫柔的風滑過牠的臉頰。牠搖了搖頭，靈魂拉扯著百分之十四的希望，再次飛往昨天的公園去了。

自殺與死亡的故事

自殺，成為最近香港的熱門報章話題。

自殺者的家族、朋友...失去了自殺者，其傷痛不是我的重點。我想寫的重點的是：選擇或考慮自殺的當事人本身的狀況或情況。

我們來探討一下：為甚麼(這麼多)人會自殺?

探討自殺之前必須先談「活着」和「死亡」。

作為「曾經考慮過自殺的人」，我對自殺有一個很簡單而短視的看法：這是一個「解決活着所產生的問題的最方便的方法」。

決定自殺的人可能會有以下的條件：

1. 生無可戀。「戀」字可以代表很多不同的情況：家人、親情、友愛、興趣、夢想......當自殺的人自認自己沒有這些「戀情」。

2. 走投無路。對自殺的人而言，可能「死亡」是唯一的出路。他們已經沒有餘力了。他們「放棄活着」。因為對自殺的人來說：活着的問題，是解決不了的。活着只會徒添痛苦、悲傷、煩惱。甚至，自己的存在對他人是一種不幸。

自己消失了便可以了。

不活下去便沒有悲痛了。

我受不了了。

死亡是我唯一的希望、是我混沌中的唯一一條明路。
死了便可以抵達「理想鄉」、「天堂」。
死了，身邊的人便如釋重負了。

這些或許便是自殺者的心底話或心聲。
他們已經對自己、對他人、對世界...失望了。沒有希望了。絕望了。

作為經驗者，我不會去否定這些思維，因為這些思維都有每個人不同的道理和理由。
否定這些，等於否定過去的自己。
尤如拿剪刀把過去的照片剪碎。心很痛的。頭很痛的。

3. 衝動。輕率。賭博。下重注。等等

---

現在，我們來探討一下「阻止」自殺。

作為經驗者，我認為自殺其實是「逃避現實和人生問題的究極方法」。我聲明：並不贊同自殺。我認為是不可取的。
可是逃避現實和逃避問題本身，並非一定是壞事。
現實之中有太多太多使人無助、崩潰...的問題了。
天災人禍，根本數也數不清。 從災難中逃脫，我認為是人的生存本能來的。
此外，心靈的痛楚，是最無形的刀劍，也是最強力的殺手。

其實「阻止」自殺有一個很簡單的方法。
問你心愛的人，問自己：你人們想要開心嗎? (答案通常會是「想」的)
你想自殺的人，現在開心嗎? (答案通常都是「否」的)
自殺之後會開心嗎?

。
。
。

這問題的答案因人而異。不過，如上文所述：我並不認為自殺是開心的事；只是人們走投無路，想斬斷不開心、痛苦、失望...的短視和方便的方法。
讀到這裏，我希望讀者思考一下：
「對自己來說，有甚麼簡單的事是開心的。」
想到了？做得到嗎？去做吧。
身邊的人不讓你去做某一些你覺得會開心的事(包括不讀書、不工作)？請耐心、平靜地跟您家人討論您的感受，讓他們明白你。
不要以為人類很明白人類。
不要以為自己很明白自己。請不要幻想未來的自己、死亡後的自己，一定是完美無暇的。
自己的生命、別人的心靈，我相信都是不可替代、寶貴之物。
請珍惜。失去了之後，可能，永遠找不回來的。

追伸：
當你感到無助時，嘗時找身邊的人幫忙吧。SAMARITAN(樂於助人的人)是存在的。只有你自己知道自己想怎麼樣；家人、朋友是可以猜錯的。怎樣只要你向他們伸手求助，向人傾訴一下，身、心、靈，都會變得輕鬆的。試試看吧。

4月3號 購物日記

最近內心很凌亂，發現自己去自己要用的東西時，做事方式很奇怪。

首先，要把想買的東西寫在紙上，然後撕下來，帶在身上，以防忘記。

先去百佳International。
買了1,25升的壹品黑芝麻豆漿：$13.90。
買了Eclipse無糖薄荷糖 - 黑加侖子味：$14.80。
買了Salakas羊奶芝士。
問題是！我付錢時才有去留意芝士是多少錢/何時過期 Orz。
嘛，算了吧。

買了$12的60火熓絲燈膽。
問了一堆問題，覺得自己好蠢。
算了吧。

買了$129的3米BAFO LAN網絡線
結果！
3米還是不夠長 Orz
明明已經用拉尺估算過了！！居然都係計錯數！！
陳樂融呀陳樂融，你太急功近利啦！
(push stop)

「吾日三省吾身」。反省中。(垂頭)

Saw a Psychiatry on Monday and Saturday. Getting better. Relax. No worries. In control now.

Saw Social Workers Anna (Wong Chuk Hang) and Agnes Chan (SAHK Shatin). Big helps. Cheers.

Mum is departing today. I will miss her. But she will come back soon (May), so it is OK.
I will stand firm and stand hard.

Met Dad a couples of time this week too. I heard that he will retire soon. Good for him. I hope he will share more of his time with me, but I dunno how I should interact with Laura. I don't know her. I don't understand her. I fear her.

It's Spring. Birds are singing. Flowers are blooming. Kids like me should look up to the blue heaven, and run like a dog (maybe).

Good luck to me and everybody who loves each other.

Weekly Journal 6/3 - 12/3

Another tough week! At least I finished all statistical analysis given from my PI (principal investigator, i.e. my boss)

Had a few gathering with:
1. Uncle Spencer (Wednesday). Nice Japanese food, nice chat about further career and regret. Quotes: Live the moment and work at your best heartily and proactively, then, you need not be regretful in your coming future (用心、積極、盡善地面對當下，你日後便不需後悔).

2. 3E classmates (Thursday). Food stall, so acceptable food, but I'm not gonna have fish intestines anymore...So sort of picked up what my best friends are doing nowadays. Sophia's younger brother had a Psychology Bachelor, but went to Australia to study Engineering! Wow, how similar to what I did. And I feel a bit sorry for Sophia's mum for feeling lonely, that her sons and daughters are all no longer depends on it. A bit sad, but a transition for all mothers.

3. Furry friends (Friday). Yeah, Japanese buffet(tabehoudai)! Second time to rakuten daikiya(樂天大喜屋), yum yum again! I think I thrashed overly, and got my feeling flying everywhere across my tables. LOL. Oh well, I think no big deal.

4. Rachel's friends (Saturday). Wow. Second time to teach people to play Shadows over Camelot. 勞勞thanked me for teaching them, so I feel better even though I could be more patient and teach better, but that game IS complicated, so ok overall. No need to be too demanding! Try better next time! Wish I could play too though, but oh well. Good experience to be a GM.

Er...wow. Busy. Sort of remind me my Bachelor life.

For emotional aspect, I am writing a really demanding task. Will talk about it when it's finished.
Though I am building up really good relationship with a nice guy. Bless him.

For job-finding aspect, no progress yet. Just sent an application.

For reading, found a good book (see Facebook). For writing, found something I wrote six years ago Orz... can't bear to read it again.

Well I will sign off from Blogger now.

News and Newspaper - Effective Ways to Read?

One of my friends shared his views on gaining awareness of news around the world, so I thought I would write a short piece on my thoughts this. I am starting with Hows, and hope that I could get to Whats and Whys.

In this century of information explosion, numerous ways are available to catch news, e.g. social networking sites such as Facebook, a sharing in your Whatsapp groups etc. However, these are what your friends wanted to share, and is not necessarily what you want or need to read.

These so-called "random encounters" do not really help you to know news "enough".





Brainstorm:
Hearing News - televisions on MTR, TVB news, iNews channel

News website - BBC CCN appledaily, scmp, standard
News categories - Local (Hong Kong and China), World, interests (Science and Technology,  Education, Lifestyles, Sports, Entertainment etc.)

What we should do? Choose the sources wisely!
"Free newspaper" are "fast food news" - get to know the hottest and utmost importance
Have more time? Have a quick check of different sites, and find your favourite ones.

Weekly Journal 27/2 - 05/3

I wrote something I don't want to share, so I will make this one short.

Not much progress this week.
Arthur gave me some information regarding the different positions in an University.
I am beginning to think this might not be a good time to pursue a PhD.

Yes I am a sort-of-curious-and-think-too-much guy, but I still need to practice generating more outputs (like this journal lol)

Anyway, hope next week will have better progress!

My regrets regarding my upbringing

This journal focus on the training I had during my studies in secondary school and university.

Between secondary form 1 and 3, I began to be interested in the Physical Science. It's ok actually, because I am good at logical thinking, and I did very well in Maths Physics Chemistry Biology.

But I had had some unfortunate incidence in these years. I disappointed some teachers. Both scolded me severely, such that I felt being misunderstood. I learnt to avoid "getting hurt" by avoiding conflicts with others. By doing this, I was actually widening the gaps between me and my peers or my teachers. So I never was able to have "constructive communications" with them.

I started to be scared of general social interaction, and this inability to communicate well snowball itself, such that I was once diagnosed as having Asperger's Syndrome when I was 16.

But we did not do much about it, not until I was having major problems while I worked in the society.

When I was applying for my bachelor studies, I haven't given deep nor serious thoughts on working in the society, because I was not good at social interaction in general. I faced tremendous disappointments and frustrations when I failed or had unpleasant social events.

Really wished I had thought more about my career
Really wished I had earlier intervention with my social limitations

So...at least I hope the future generations wouldn't repeat my mistakes, but hey, history repeat itself and humankind is so ignorant or stupid lol

Weekly Journal 20-26/2/2017

Start to work as Part-Time Research Assistant in Hang Seng Management College (22nd Feb)!

At first I was very happy that I managed to grasp a job with my own ability. No introductions from anybody. Yeah! "My efforts are rewarded"!

After working on my job duties (analysing interviews) for a few days, I am disappointed to (finally and more comprehensively) realise that I am not very happy or enthusiastic doing researching. I believe I prefer studying and learning and maybe teaching. So, I am considering quitting this part-time when I got an nice offer from a teaching post. Although there are potential teaching assistant position interviews in the following week, I must not hold my hope high. I will absolutely do my best in my interviews and I will start to look for more! But I am absolutely thrilled with the idea of me teaching! Wow. What a sudden revelation. Thanks to my parents, my bro and Queenie for exploring this idea with me (lol).

Dr Maggie Ma (my supervisor) is very nice and made quite a few suggestions to my work. I may be too used to tackling works specifically, such that I lost the touch with doing things in a more general or broad terms. Maybe my mind and observation are not broad enough? But I am improving! LoL

Meanwhile, there is a couple of things I want to learn and polish:

My writings. So I am starting my diary!

My understanding of humankind. Maybe in terms of Sociology and Psychology?

How to teach, and teach better.

OK, I will add more when I can think of anything. Meanwhile I should grab a healthy lunch and do more of my jobs! I am absolutely not earning enough! LOL

たまごの黄身は熱々で、出汁を加えて、黄身の特殊の苦味を中和することで、茹で卵が苦手な自分でも楽しめます
竹輪は濃厚な出汁の味がして、素材の後味が残ってるしらたきは食べ堪えがあり
ゴボ巻き、ゴボが苦くて、新しい味わうこと。巻きは魚の旨味が演出してます
大根はおよそ3cm厚く、出汁の味が深く染み込んでいて、体の五臓六腑を温めるような気がする

童話 - 三隻刺蝟 (拙作)

在你出生的那一年，非洲的一對刺蝟夫婦生下了三胞胎姐妹。三位小刺蝟在約一千萬新台幣的悉心栽培下，都成長為亭亭玉立的美刺蝟。

在她們的18歲生日，父母嚴肅地對他們心愛的女兒們說：「你們現在都是成人了，必須離開娘家，找一個好婆家，組織你們的幸福家庭。」父命難違，第二天三位刺蝟便依依不捨與父母抱別，各自追尋自己的幸福去了。

刺蝟小美的如意郎君 – 一位毛髪颯爽的英俊獅子與小美交往了半年後，獅子跟小美深情擁抱，獅子的手臂不幸被小美的刺嚴重刺傷。獅子痛得大哭，夾着尾巴流着鮮血，一頭不回地離開了小美，再也沒有與她聯絡了。小美雖然在三姐妹中外觀最漂亮，可也是心靈最脆弱的；隨着獅子的每一滴血落在地上，她的心也跟着續漸破碎，使她再也無法再與人交往。小美每天埋頭苦幹，從創傷轉移視線，孤獨終老。

刺蝟小愛則一鼓作氣，去了多間美容中心，叮叮噹噹地把自己的積蓄花光。纖體護膚去斑泥巴浴，她通通做齊，好使自己的美貌能媲美自己的姐妹小美。她甚至讓整容醫生專業地拔掉自己的刺，好降低雄獸們的提防。某天小愛從舉行聯誼的酒吧回家途中，在一條捷徑中不幸遇到一名色胚土狼不懷好意地靠近自己，嚇得她本能地縮成一團，當然土狼就歡天喜地簡單順利地把小愛綁架回巢。從此小愛再也不見天日。

刺蝟小滿交的男朋友是一位其貌不揚，工作普通的長頸鹿。每一晚，小滿跨坐在長頸鹿的下半身上對長頸鹿輕輕的說：「我的刺是我的特徵，對我很重要的，但它可能會無意中傷到你。所以請你碰我的時候小心一點、溫柔一點，讓我放輕鬆，那我的刺就會摸上去像掃毛刺般舒服的。」而長頸鹿每一晚也只是點點頭。小滿年老後，在十二位混血兒女的目送下安祥去世。
