SSO and FTE

正所謂事不關己己不勞心，又有謂唔見棺材唔流眼淚，我唔想做cost centre manager，但看來就算我不是cost centre manager，我都有必要實現我這條小小團隊的價值。是以我今日成天向到我諗如何implement Shared Service Organisation (SSO) model 和吹奏Full-time Equivalent (FTE)這個概念。

以前？以前我真係無咩興趣搞 SSO。囉。

依家？依家工商管理萬歲！

Guest Comment: Ten things to do in Hong Kong to achieve a better work-life balance

This article first appeared on eFinancialCareers

“Work-life balance” has become a popular term in the workplace. Sometimes it is overused, especially at job interviews when the two parties are discussing benefit terms.

The definition of work-life balance may be vague and vary among different people, but the spirit behind the concept is simple enough: it’s about how you prioritise the many facets of your everyday living. It is also about how you see and attribute achievement and enjoyment because they are the real translations of work and life respectively.

Hong Kong is a city with plenty of choices. Here are 10 things you can do to free up your time and enrich your life:

1) Schedule a chat with a genius at the Apple flagship store at the International Finance Centre shopping mall to understand how technology can streamline your emails, meeting arrangements and office tasks.

2) Automate your bill payments with your bank.

3) Adopt a dog from SPCA and let it walk you for 30 minutes every evening after your stressful office hours.

4) Visit the Hong Kong Central Library. Get a funny picture book by Anthony Browne. Then take a seat at the outdoor cafe next to the library and start reading.

5) Sip a glass of Bellini at Mo Bar at Landmark Mandarin Oriental.

6) Plan a day trip to Hong Kong Geopark to feel the power of Gaia.

7) Swim at Pak Lap Wan, a remote but beautiful beach in Sai Kung.

8) Have Sunday brunch at the Brunch Club and think about nothing.

9) Shut away all the noise and relax in silence at St John’s Cathedral.

10) Shop for dinner ingredients at Graham Street outdoor wet market and cook for your loved ones.

銀河鐵路999

1. 我不是電車，但在這電車的年代，我們怎可以對電車一無所知呢？
2. 冧路軌好，家下唔冧唔通等首航時先冧咩。我家電車男說：「你咪當UAT囉！」
3. 冧路軌之後，我一介白丁，都少少先知先覺知係街軌問題，但我又唔明，典解唔係即刻冧呢？
4. 原來有UPS。專業人士同我講術語，一輪嘴，好在我曾經在電車廠工作，明晒。為俾專業人士知道我係嚇大的，我撲克面孔冷冷地問：「咁幾分鐘呢？」「一個鐘架都有。」「咁勁？遲啲full capacity 都一個鐘丫？」「十五分鐘囉...」
5. 有UPS我都唔係好安樂。頭先終於俾我諗到我攪咩唔安樂。就算有UPS，冧之前係米應該整個嘟嘟嘟嘟嘟嘟嘟嘟嘟嘟嘟嘟嘟嘟出黎先呢？
6. 本文重點不是探討UPS，而是某晚我家電車叉論住我話我「整鬼你乜你冇睇過『銀河鐵路999』架咩？」。咁我上網睇下，咦喂，『銀河鐵路999』，1978/9年播個喎齣野。

New tenant who is very "classy"

I think my tenant deserves this sleeping bag and I am very much looking forward to the development of the leasing matter because I never met any man with an Investment Banking background with the same degree of "decency". Apparently this is another chapter of exposure for me.

Gentlemen,

I must reinforce my position though I have verbally expressed it crystal clear today when we met. Please be reminded that:

1) HKDXXk monthly rent is far below market rate on Midlevels or any apartment of similar class at XX. I hope you will appreciate the deal and be faithful

2) I am a righteous person and I will fulfill terms outlined on the tenancy agreement. Any requests otherwise will not be entertained

3) On the tenancy agreement it is stated that "two chests". I understood one is for shoes while another is for clothing. I didn't promise anything other than that. "Lamp" is absolutely out of the list

4) I will make no further arrangement until deposit is secured as stated on the tenancy agreement

5) As stated on the tenancy agreement, any communications should be done in black and white and posted to me

Please note that any kind of business relationship is based on mutual benefits and reciprocal respect.

數年前毅然離開超人集團中心，搬到坪洲，便想找份在國金上班的工作。

之後在高街掛單，便想試試在銀行上班。

結果又有喎。

家下搬到青山公路，便又想試下番ICC的滋味。

又。。。嘿！

所以，我想要既野，我總有辦法得到。只要耐心和努力一點。

BERNAS | Charity Support for Orphanages

倘 Google 員工不幸身故，公司會在未來的十年。。。。。。

Google 出名對員工好。恨死隔離的免費食物、健身班、洗衣洗車服務等等講到天光都講唔晒。

根據 Mashable 轉述，Google 最近推出了保險措施，若員工不幸身故，公司會在未來十年給予員工配偶或夥伴身故員工原薪酬的５０％作為支援。　

我認為此舉固然是一個慷慨的福利，但計落有多少員工無啦啦不幸身故呢？所以衣個政策的亮點是創意和公關效益。

Catch me if you can... browers and OS

This is the traffic statistics about my blog last month counting by types of browers and OS. I have never heard about some of the browers and OS, which should be some emerging technologies.

Are you the one using any one of them? Why and how are their performances?

I would love to hear the comments from you.

Cheers and have a nice weekend.

Blogging to make a living

From a cup of jo

Joanna of NYC talks about her story on blogging- how blogging as a hobby finally turned into a career.

When did your blog start making money?
As I said here, shifting from blogging-as-a-hobby to blogging-as-a-career was a very slow transition and one that I had never anticipated. After a year or so, I started featuring a few ads on my blog to earn some pocket money. And after a couple years, I quit my job to focus on freelance magazine writing and grow my blog, so it became about half my income. But only about a year ago did I finally realize that my blog had officially become my full-time job—both financially and time-wise. And I was happy and surprised. (Also here's my work/life balance post, if you'd like to know more.)

What are your favorite parts of blogging?
* Having a close relationship with my beloved readers. Starting the Motherhood Mondays column took the relationship to a new level, because we started discussing marriage, breastfeeding, depression, infertility, everything. Having these conversations has been an incredible, eye-opening, heartwarming experience.

* I LOVE LOVE LOVE when readers stop us in the street because it's so awesome to meet readers in person. Blogging can feel isolated sometimes, since you work on a laptop at home, so it's amazing to meet people. (And everyone is always so nice and cute!:)

* Writing about a bunch of different topics. If we do a bedroom makeover or I read a fascinating parenting book or I'm itching to write a guide to NYC, I can just do it. That's great, since when you work for a magazine, your "beat" tends to be much more limited. And the great thing is, if I start feeling in a rut, I can just shake things up. It's a real gift to have editorial control.

* Working with photographers, designers and illustrators. Now and again, I've worked with super talented people, like Jamie Beck, Jenny Komenda and Gemma Correll. It's been such a pleasure and honor. I'd love to do more collaborations in the future.

* Alex being awesome. Alex helps a lot with my blog, not so much in the nitty gritty, but just overarching conversations about ideas, worries, etc. He jokes that I'm the CEO, but he's the chief strategist, director of communications, personal chef, mailroom guy, and psychotherapist for Cup of Jo. :) And he's written a couple posts, including 8 confessions of a new dad and his side of the birth story.

Search Engine Optimization

SEO, Search Engine Optimization，即搜尋引擎最佳化。

SEO 若是照英文字面上的意思，就是讓你的網站符合搜尋引擎的喜好，進而提升網站整體排名，藉此導入訪客。

搜尋引擎最佳化(簡稱SEO ，Search Engine Optimization)是一種利用搜尋引擎的搜尋規則，來提高目的網站在有關搜尋引擎內的排名的方式。

維基百科指出：由於不少研究發現，消費者使用搜尋引擎時，往往只留意搜尋結果前幾頁的網站，因此不少網站業主希望透過SEO來影響搜尋引擊的排序。

如果你想成為一個專業的博客，認識 SEO 是絕對必要的。因為一套有效的 SEO 策略能提成你網站在搜尋引擎的排名，藉此導入訪客。

以下淺談其中兩項技巧：

1. 友情鏈接
博友間的互相鏈接能為雙方在搜索引擎排名上派上用場。部落內的新舊文鏈接亦有此效。

2. 關鍵詞
善用關鍵字。並且儘量把關鍵字寫進標題和標籤。

縱使生命消磨，也不願眼睜睜地看別人受折磨

四年了，我在NGO工作整整四年。
雖然決定了抽身離去，但仍然對行業非常關心 。
看見相關的資料還是會剪存作日後參考之用。

縱使生命消磨
生命是一種消磨，今天比昨日死去一點；人與人之間互相猜忌，太多的零和遊戲；國不以家為本，戰爭的理由無限上綱地神聖；全球化下蟻民愈來愈周身蟻；祖國江河日漸失色，太多的銅臭，太少的公義。

我看見人我聽見人聲，恨不得閉上眼睛聾了耳朵（哦非禮勿視非禮勿聽）。

只因為年輕，以為這雙手雖然小，也定能盡點綿力。

但到後來，年紀毫不憐惜的在我身心刻劃了一筆又一筆的印記，才發覺我的手真的非常小（小得可以讓你緊握）。

批判思考仍然無限，我怎能對我手的有限視若無睹？我怎能夠昧著良心仍舊喜孜孜興致勃勃地做我於NGO的工作？

我時時問為什麼仍有人活於貧窮線下，每天靠不足一美元去生活；我時時問為什麼有這麼多白內障、又或冇手冇腳的國民，個案多至我做看來看去也看不完。

到後來，哈，這真的是社會的錯──是本國社會的錯，也是國際社會的錯（在這世界，每個人都是同謀者）。

要根治問題，NGO是否應多做倡議的工作？

但現在以倡議為主要工作的NGO的做事方法我又不怎認同。

於是，便唯有抽身，冷眼旁觀。

也不願眼睜睜地看別人受折磨

但我仍然關心。

我打算寫一點東西：NGO的行政費、裂唇項目、中國的白內障項目、世界各地的未婚媽媽項目、非洲的血鑽，獅子會等等。

我又想很「麥肯錫」（唉，信報諸君，不是麥堅時──那是律師事務所）地把各有關的NGO項目的金錢流轉用圖表公諸於世──但是，搜集資料的過程真的非常艱鉅。

我會努力的，這一篇就當是自我勉勵的楔子吧。
