Funny Fail: Public Transit Passenger Traps

1. Trapped at the Entrance on HK Tram
   
   
   One day during rush hour I waited for a tram at a station where stood a few people and an old lady with a trolley. When the tram arrived, we all boarded and I was the last one who stood on the bottom stair.

   When the tram was about to leave, it shut its door behind me and, surprisingly, there were gates in front of me and it closed. (I WAS TRAPPED! LOL! And forgive me cos' it was the first time I had ever boarded the new tram, I didn't know it had gates like that.)
   
   
   What's more hilarious is that after being trapped, those people in front of me slowly moved inside the cabin as the old lady with her trolley found its way to the upper deck, and there I was alone at the door... LOL
   
   
   I couldn't imagine what the people waiting at the next station were thinking when they saw me standing there alone at the door. In fact I can't even know it because I was standing facing inside with my butt facing them.
   
   
2. Trapped on HK MTR train
   
   
   The college I goes to locates at Kowloon Tong. As I do not reside at the dorm and lives in Central, I have to travel from Central to Kowloon Tong almost every week day. But there was one thing that I hadn't realized about those MTR stations on the way until one day...

   That day after school I boarded the train from Kowloon Tong to Mongkok, and then to make a transfer to board another train to Central, just as usual. When I boarded the train in Mongkok, there was a middle-aged guy who rushed into the cabin, and unexpectedly his shirt was caught by the doors when they closed. But it was too thin to alarm the door sensor so the door didn't open again and he just stood there.
   
   
   To my very surprise, the next few stations, Yau Ma Tei, Jordan and Tsim Sha Tsui, all have their doors opened on the same side, which is the opposite side of where the man was being trapped. LOL
   
   The funniest thing was that the number of passengers on board was declining station after station that there were many empty seats, but there he was, standing in front of the door pretending to be just chilling LOL (Poor guy. Maybe he had missed his destined station.)

I was a Jerk when I was Young

I have a confession to make. I was an asshole before F2.

In primary school, in one occasion, a female classmate asked me about my feeling towards another classmate, who was known publicly to have a crush on me. In order to clear that up to the classmate who asked me that question, I said something nasty about the classmate who liked me and said I would never like him. And it was said in a loud volume in a classroom. Although it was just me and my classmate there in the classroom, someone could overheard it, and if that someone was the classmate who liked me, it would be very terrible and I feel super sorry...

In secondary 1, I once was being thrown insulting foul words on by a classmate in British Council who I thought was my friend. I did nothing wrong and she just yelled at me all of a sudden. I felt so shocked and confused. And I thought "is it how friends supposed to be? Do I have to throw one insults or two from time to time to my friends to keep myself looking cool and dominating?" It was the worst thought ever and cost me my secondary school life because I did the same thing to a classmate in school and I got bullied ever since.

It may not be the worst experience however. After all my attitude and life view have been completely shifted. I became much independent and caring, and had much consideration to others' feelings. If it wasn't for these experiences, I might not have gone good and might have become a really bad girl.

So these are my scars, but it's all past, and I've moved forward. The light is yet to come.

5 Hilarious Interview Videos Compilation

1. Wrong Interviewee

     On the subject of a legal case involving Apple Computer, instead of interviewing Guy Kewney, a technology expert, BBC News accidentally interviewed Guy Goma, who was an interviewee for their cleanser job position.

     For Guy Goma to appear on TV like this, there were a lot of careless mistakes all the way from the receptionist to the producer. Sitting in front of cameras, being put on makeup and wired up with a microphone, Guy Goma still believed it was a job interview, just an unusual one.

     Upon being hit by the truth on camera, he tried his best to answer every question the anchor had to ask. He's one brave soul. (at least he did not run away lol)

2. Hitting Interviewees in the Face

   Greg from the Mediocre Films interviewed over 40 Youtubers in VidCon 2013. However, there was not much about the content of the interviews, but the Youtubers' reactions of being hit in the face by a microphone for multiple times.

3. Ellen Meets Elias

     The Ellen Show, one of the biggest TV shows in the U.S., has featured a number of interviews with children, who were very funny in an innocent way.



4. Ellen Meets Presidential Experts


5. A Guy in Despair

How to Break Free from Our Own Mental Prison

The best way is to lose yourself.

(Source: wewanderandwonder.com)

Forget who you are, both to yourself and to others.

Without labels, past and future, you're free from definitions and open to interpretation.

It's only then that you can live truthfully without all the worries of reputations and other constraints.

It's only then that you can get out of your comfort zones, and explore your potentials and areas where you've never discovered.

Try it. Forget your identity, do what you want and dive into the sense of liberation you've never experienced before.

Worries

My brother has just went on a trip for the first time on his own. I just can't help but worrying so much almost about everything. I miss him so, so much... Anyway, I'm really looking forward to see how much he will have learnt when he come back :)

Perspective Rules Everything

To dive in the pool of sadness or to smile through every challenges, it's all in our hands.

Sometimes when I encounter difficulties, the negative friends living in my head would come out and dominate my emotions. They would keep reminding me of all the bad memories from the past.

However, when I take a step back and look at the grand scheme of things, I realized that my experience wasn't that bad cos' I also had really good memories now and then. It was just that I chose to turn a blind eye on it.

Therefore, perspectives determines many things in a person. Sometimes, if you're stuck in an awful situation, try to look at the whole thing in a different perspective. Things may change.

Fears of Giving

Have you ever felt so scared of losing someone you love, someone you care so much about, someone you treasure so dearly?

Love is in the air. It's true. Some people just didn't notice it.

They were too blind to see it because they've gotten used to receiving love. Basically, they took it for granted and didn't even bother to return the favor.

Before they blame their mother for her bad cooking, they should at least try to think about who took so much time and effort to cook for them, who built the warm, loving home for them, who provided them all the best she could offer?

Sometimes, they just oversee what they have. They have indeed received so much more love than they have given.

Don't be scared about giving love. No matter how much you've been hurt in the past, how many people who have betrayed you, how many rejections you've received, just do what you want and express your love, to whether it's your family, friends or partner.

Ask yourself: What if there's no tomorrow? What would you do today?

Seize the moment. What are you still waiting for? 

Seize the Moment, Not Yesterday, Not Tomorrow

Being overly sensitive, I get stressed out for many things that I shouldn't have worried about.

Sometimes, it confuses me and I'd get lost in myself.

Knowing that I'd have done great if I haven't been such a paranoid, regrets fill up my mind everyday.

But then, I took a step back and looked at the grandest scheme of things, I realized that the past and the future shouldn't bother me that much, cos I couldn't neither change the past nor predict the future. The only thing I can work with is the present, which was something I always forgot about.

It's not about what you've done, it's about what you're doing.

It's not about where you've been, it's about where you're going.

Pave Your Own Way

They said

they've already tried it and failed,

and so surely I'd never succeed.

I say

I'm sorry to hear that, and thanks for your concern,

but it's  YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE .


Still,

I'm gonna take the chance and

begin  MY OWN JOURNEY  whatsoever.

Self-reformation 101: Change Your Mind

The only way to change your actions is to change your mind.

When things happen and we react, it is not us who are controlling the reaction, it's our thoughts.

In order to stop doing something, we gotta address the underlying thoughts that have triggered this action, and then change the thoughts, not the actions.

We can't change the actions directly without addressing our thoughts, cos' when the same external factors strike again, it'll trigger the same old thoughts again, so as the action.

 Thoughts determine everything. The power is within. 

 Renew yourself today by changing your minds now. 

Life must Go On

I failed. I was too nervous. I slipped up.

But I would be even more stupid if I allow the anger and self-hate to continue to ruin the rest of my life.

"When there's a will, there's a way." If it fails, so what? How about top-up degree? Yes, it sounds pretty bad. But think of it this way:

You only need one more year to finish a degree, which is one year faster than those who're admitted into the advanced standing II places. If I transfer this negative energy into a motive to push me do better in my assignments and exams, there's still hope! I can still strive for an excellent grade in this semester! Don't you give up, Joyce! You're not that weak! (Tho you're sometimes a freaking coward) Don't let it pull you down and sink. You have to promise yourself to be the best among your classmates. Begin your new life again! Who knows what the future holds? It may be a better path for you outside. What you should do is to fight for being a First Honour graduate, and prove to employers what you've got!

Don't you give up. :)

Be your own best friend. Never beat yourself up again. Never. It just never end up well.

Embrace your imperfections. Allow yourself to make mistakes. One mistake won't cause an apocalypse. You still deserve to be happy. Don't punish yourself anymore.

Again, if you don't love yourself. No one loves you and see the good in you. Cos' when you hate yourself and feel inferior, it shows, and people will perceive you as exactly what you perceive yourself as.

Now, stand up and fight! There're more wars ahead waiting for you, and you have to overcome them one by one, until you can cross the finish line. Whether you win or not, it isn't important. What really matters is what you can learn along the journey and be a better self after all.

Stop comparing yourself to the others. It's only an endless road filled with pain and inferiority.

Look at yourself and see what you CAN do in the future, not what you've done wrong in the past.

Love yourself and everyone around you, learn to be a better self and live your life to the fullest. :D

Can't Forgive Myself

When I can usually be an A grade student, why would I chose to slip up at the MOST important interview and got a somewhat C grade?

My performance in the interview wasn't graded, but it feels like I have gotten a C grade. The moment it was finished, I knew that they would kick me out.

For the first time, I have succeeded... in giving my worst performance and showing the worst side of me which I have neither seen before.

The worst thing is I know that even if I'm unprepared, I can do 500% better than that, and I could ensure that I got admitted. I am the right person. But they just didn't see it cos' I didn't allow that part of me to shine. Instead, I unleashed my negative, weak, coward part out to embarrass and hurt myself.

I can't forgive myself. I just can't. I had a golden opportunity and I blew it. I had a high proficiency of English and I didn't show it. I am confident and positive but I acted lame and negative. 

What could be worst?!

So much pressure... I let down so many people, including myself. I could have proved to them what I can do, but I just freaking let my nerves blew it.

It seems to be the start of self-punishment as if the loss has not been painful enough...

Interview Failure Analysis

Dating back to 2 weeks ago, from being hopeless for a bachelor degree to receiving an interview invitation letter, I have been so nervous and have been preparing for the interview ever since.

It's the first time I have ever prepared for an interview, not even when I interviewed for the associate degree, nor in the UE exam. I was almost fearless and everything were impromptu yet excellent and confident.

Today is the big day, and guess what? I was given a chance and I freaking blew it. I performed way worse than 2 years ago when I had the UE oral exam or the associate degree interview. Everything just went wrong and almost disastrous all of a sudden. I never thought that I could perform that bad. Indeed I've never been that inarticulate ever before.

To be honest, I can't bear with the failure cos' I've never failed in any interview of similar structure, and I have always been fluent and able to deliver exactly what I want to express. Basically I have no difficulty in English communication at all. 

But this time, I failed. I failed thoroughly. 

1. The biggest mistake is doing preparation. I should have realized that I can't memorize well, and if I try to, I usually would stumble upon words and get so nervous, which won't end up well.
2. Comparing myself with the other candidates is completely unnecessary. The more I tried to admire how great the others are doing, the more I forgot that I can actually do the same, and most of the times I can push myself to perform way better.
3. Confidence is the key. Whatever you're trying to convey, no matter how good or how vague the content is, the interviewer would be impressed if you're saying it from your heart with confidence, a smile and enthusiasm.
4. When it's over, move on. No matter how you did in the interview, nothing is reversible. As the proverb goes, "let bygones be bygones". Let it be and carry on with your life.

The 4th point is actually easier said than done. I can't move on except wallowing in self-pity. I really can't hate myself more. It's all my fault. Every decision I made has led to where I am today. I have no one else but myself to blame on. I'll never forgive myself. The interview means the world to me and yet I was dumb enough to let my nerves got the best of me. Everything I have been fighting for and all the efforts I've put forward seemed to have vanished within that 15 minutes. 

Are 15 minutes really enough to determine whether to admit a student or not?

What if I was given an individual interview instead? Would the situation be turned around?

What if I had not prepared and just walk in impromptu? What if I had calmed down to allow myself to have a clear mind for the discussion?

I definitely would perform better. But so what? There's no second chance. A missed opportunity is a missed opportunity. I'll just take it as a painful reminder on my journey to future success.

YOU are Your Biggest Enemy

When we feel nervous over some important events coming soon, whether it's a big project, a presentation, or an interview, there're always so much noises in our head.

There seems to be an angel and a demon living inside. "You can do it! Don't disappoint yourself and everyone around you. Show them what you've got and kick some asses!" "No, you can't. You're just too weak. Look how strong your competitors are. Everyone just want to see you fail."

To a certain extent, the heated arguments may even turn into an intense fight. One of them may get terribly injured, while the other one will just take over the situation.

If it is the demon who is promoted to be the Director of your brain, it is highly possible that you won't succeed under such mindset.

In order to turn the situation around...

Remember, YOU are WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE. 

Trust yourself. Don't beat yourself up. The power comes from within, so does the enemy.

Let Go of Resentment

“Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.” ― Nelson Mandela

When you're mad at someone, it doesn't do any harms to them, but to yourself instead.

We need to have empathy, i.e. the ability to step into their shoes and understand that they're hurting you because they have problems in themselves.

Although it's very hard, we need to learn to forgive and live our lives.

Stand Up & Fight

Everyone has their own story. It's fine to feel sad. Cos' it proves that we're human.

How to Deal With Difficult People: Perception, Self-love & Empathy

Everyone has caught up with difficult people. It might be your boss, colleagues, friends and even family. 

And sometimes we really don't know how to deal with it except kept dwelling and dwelling into the hatred until it overpowered our emotional well-beings. But we could't let these worthless, non-constructive thoughts waste our time. We gotta STOP. However, every time those people's names, messages or photos popped up, it just brought back bad memories and negative thoughts. 

How should we deal with it?

Reasons You Shouldn't Buy the 1st Generation Product of a New Invention

Costly.

Due to the high cost of research and development (R&D), a high price will be set in order to cover the cost.

It may not be the best model out there.

When a new invention is introduced to the market and receives positive feedback from customers, many rivals will arise and try to copy and adjust the model with some improvement. And so, at the later stage, there will be many more similar products with different selling points for you to choose from.

In addition to that, competitors may lower their prices in order to attract customers. Therefore, no need to hurry and buy it immediately when it's out. Just wait for a while.

Dead Relationships

You know the relationship has died when you don't even bother to block or avoid some people, cos whatever they do, it can no longer affect you anymore. There just isn't any curiosity or emotional link in between. Even when they do something wrong, you just don't bother reminding them. It seems that there's no chance you and them can get along well.

Overall, it's just plain dead.

People who Constantly Put You Down

Do you have a friend who always judge you? Whether it's your look, the way you talk, or your personality, they just pick on you in the most ways possible.

Why? 

There may be something in themselves that they find inferior than you, and they feel intimidated by it. It can be your appearance, academic performance or career prospect etc. 

What they're trying to achieve by giving you negative comments all the time is to pull you down to their level and elevate themself. So that they can raise their self-esteem and gain some confidence from you.

How should you respond to the attacks? 

DOS

- 1 - 

Act like you think they're crazy or talking shit by giving them immediate facial signs, e.g. a crazy, questioning stare; or

- 2 - 

Change the topic abruptly.

DON'T

Don't get defensive or start judging yourself like them cos that's what they really want - to make you less competent.

Learn to Say "No"

Some of us may find it difficult to reject a request which you don't actually wanna comply with. But why? How can we solve it?

Be the Real You

Social networks, like Youtube and Instagram, allow users to interact by posting comments. Sometimes the comments give the uploader motivations and encouragement, but there are also times it serves as an lethal injection, emotionally or even metaphorical-physically.

People leave nasty comments, such as personal attacks, which are completely non-constructive and not backed by any actual evidence. Seriously, it's a lose-lose situation. Not only does it diminishes your own image, it can really break someone's heart. If you're such a mean person, please go educate yourself and keep all those negativity in your own head.

One reason why people enjoy doing this is that they thought they can do anything they want on the Internet since they can be anonymous. Why would you do something that you won't do in real life on the Internet? Entertainers pay time and effort to create contents on the Internet. People should think before they comment. Be truthful and respectful. One person's hatred and nasty comment can arouse many more terrible comments from other people who don't know what they're doing and just randomly go with the flow.

Be mindful that there're also many teenagers who are at their age when they place so much importance on their own personal image and the others' opinions about them. A mature person can leave those nasty comments behind and move on, but it's very hard for teenagers to do so. Without sufficient support from family and friends, many of them experience fear, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. Some of them even became suicidal.

The Internet is a real place, housing real people. Don't ever think about getting away with what you do on the Internet. Karma will get you and everything is trackable on the Internet. If you won't say it in real life, don't say it on the Internet neither. If you just wanna start a fight, go fuck yourself.

"No! I mean..."

I bet most of us have encountered the situation where someone "agrees" with you by saying "No! I mean it supposed to be..." blah blah blah and then repeat what you've just said.

Why did they have to do this? It's really annoying. And when I reply "Well, it's exactly what I've just said", they go ahead and say "Yea, but I mean..." blah blah blah switch to other aspect of the topic. Arghhhh!

Cut Toxic Ties

Cut ties with your toxic friends, cos it's more healthy for you emotionally. However, sometimes it's hard to identify a toxic friend, esp. the manipulative ones. 

For instance, those who constantly put you down and then apologize or use excuses like "come on! It's just a joke!". When they say something insulting or disrespectful like personal attacks, and make you feel small, mad or humiliated, they know it. They know it ALL too well. Yet, they don't wanna admit it that they made a mistake or the fact that they're assholes. And what do they do? Blame on you. 

"Come on!", "Seriously?" and "Really?" etc are phrases open to manipulation. It allows them to throw the bomb they're holding right back at you, and you start wondering "oh. Maybe I was thinking too much.", or "maybe I'm just being too serious. I should be more open-minded.", or I should be this, or I should do that. All of a sudden you start questioning YOURSELF and evaluating what's wrong with you. There you fell into the trap perfectly. All the faults have just been magically shifted from that asshole to you, the victim.

You may say that I'm exaggerating. But I ain't talking about some insults that happen once in a while when you hang out with that "friend" of yours. I'm talking about the situation in which that "friend" applied all kinds of manipulation skills on you and make you feel bad and negative around them.

Take my "ex-friend" as an example. I never thought that I'd dislike or even hate someone so much that I just gotta end the friendship with. Well, I met one. He didn't respect me at all and would disagree or judge literally EVERY SINGLE THING I said. Reasonable critics are good and can help us improve, but he was just unreasonable. It was very obvious that he was wrong, but he would either use the manipulation tools or defend himself with illogical arguments. I just got sick and gave up. There weren't any logic in the conversation, other than the dominating message: everything he said was right; all I said was bullshit. (Sorry for my language, but it's the most vivid and suitable adjective.) Anyway, it eventually reached the boiling point when I couldn't put up with his insulting "jokes" anymore. Before that, I wasn't quite awake enough to notice that I wasn't really "close-minded" and he was really being extremely mean and disguised them as jokes.

Finally I got rid of him. It was not that I haven't told him the problem, but I actually did and we got into unnecessary arguments where he just, again, made up illogical explanations for his ill manners.

Moral of the story: Identify and cut the toxic ties before it hurts you bad.

Anyway, it's such a lengthy post. If you made it till the end, don't forget to leave a comment. Thank you :P Wish you can spot those friends and cut the ties asap.

Weird Banner-making 1st Try: Consequence of Candy Overdose

Well, there I said it.

Be Our Own Self

Admire how people express themselves
with their unique outfits at the punk side of London.
(Stable Market, Camden Town, London, June 2013)

There were times when I take everything others say about me into my heart. It was a time of low self-esteem and high sense of insecurity. It was very sad and pathetic that I tried to change myself in order to make myself likable for everyone.

How silly and ignorant.

Now, seriously, I just don't give a care about what others may think about me. It's just me, right here. Whether they like it or not, it's their own business. I can't please everyone cos there must be someone who dislikes me. And if someone dislikes me for my personality, it just proves that they're out of my league, and we won't get along well, so why bother wasting time on incompatible relations?

Evolving into this state of mind, I've learnt to be selfish. The logic behind is that we've gotta have a certain degree of confidence disregarding what others think, and refrain from changing ourselves according to their needs or mindsets.

Not sure why I'm bringing it up. Probably because I notice some of my friends are still clinging onto this kind of mindset which restricts themselves to expand and mature.
