“Don’t take role model as a template, use it as a reference”

It’s been more than 2 months since my last post. Lots of things happened and I have been really occupied. I went through some of the very difficult times in my life. Perhaps one fo the serious events that happened, was that i found out I lost a significant part of my hearing on my left ear. As of this blog post, I have went through many rounds of medical test, and have still not found the cause for the lost of hearing. Apparently, there is a good chance my hearing may not recover… At my current age, I felt I’m alittle too young to lost the hearing on my ear, and definitely not ready to accept this shocking news.

Report of my hearing test. The bottom line represents the hearing on my left ear.

Knowing I’ve the hearing problem, my colleague, Tracy, sending me this hamper to cheer me up.

Recently, I was asked where is the place would I consider as my ‘safe place’; a place which will put me at ease, relax and feel protected. I thought for awhile and the jetty at Labrador park popped into my mind. That was the place which I only went once before many years ago, at a time when I was really stressed up at work, and in my memory it was a very zen and quiet place. I intentionally went back to the place again last week and saw that the place is now crowded with people fishing, very different from when I was there before. Looks like I need to start looking for an alternative candidate for my safe place now.
