To Focus On The Present

It has been a filled up weekend, which I have never really expected. It was good.
I should list down the things that I have learned in these two days. Make sure to never forget it for a little bit of wisdom and knowledge will not hurt.
Saturday

Going out a lot and having tons of activities throughout the week... will take a toll on me. By the end of the week, I ended up to be the best zombie ever and perhaps even a little autistic. I did not want to do anything, talk to anyone, and going out makes me impatient. Listening to people's stories makes me impatient and want to go off soon. Next time, a good sleep, good rest, and some time alone is what I need to have after a long, crazy week.
I can drive around and find a place without relying on GPS. Hopefully, this will encourage development of my spatial skills and my sense of direction.
Never, ever sleep with a full stomach. When I woke, I looked like 5 months pregnant.
Doesn't hurt to learn a little bit of femininity and hairstyles does make quite a bit of difference. Self-esteem is boosted, which leads to boosted moods, which leads to a smiling face.
To understand that sometimes, another person's extreme behaviours, may be cause of stress. Yeah, it could be wrong, disgusting, out of the ordinary, but in the end the environment and crowd is the only thing the person could turn to when he or she has nothing or no one else. If only I can help take it away...
Enjoying simple things like window shopping and experimenting with sights, sounds and smell is a really nice mood booster too. It's a plus when someone else is there to enjoy it with you.
When you really feel too tired to socialize, it's just time to go. Make the initiative to say, "Guys, I gotta go. Sorry." Who cares about their long faces? Your health is more important.

Sunday

You cannot let other (rude) people spoil your morning, especially when you are in church. I did feel a little pissed off, but the good thing was to walk away instead of fighting.
With certain people, the larger the crowd, the better the outing experience. Accepting other people to just slip into your plans is sometimes a blessing and an added fun.
Good breakfast is a good mood booster.
Laughter still remains the best medicine.
When you're upset, do not show it. Pretend to be happy. Eventually, you will be happy. It's no use bringing other people's moods down, especially with large crowd (But allow certain very, very tiny outlets for satisfaction).
You have no control over another person's life no matter how much you do not want it to deteriorate or spoil. Best you can do is just to be there when they need it. Offer a calm, quiet support. Sometimes in these situations, it's all you can afford to give.
The potential to do a last minute good looking hairstyle is awesome. Creativity is the asset.
The importance of taking loan and avoiding high taxes.
The benefits of taking risks, but with logical thinking (for me, this part may need some work)
Gambling is for entertainment purposes. Mindset needs to be set to- there's a budget, and do not expect returns. Be prepared to lose all. It's mainly about luck and not being stupid.
Money is purely a tool. You gain it, you lose it and you gain it back. It is so much easier to control it when it's viewed as a game. Also, being generous with it makes this view even more possible. Never be afraid of having no money. There will always be a way.
Benefits of buying things (e.g. cars) under company name.
Being rich means inviting other parties to watch you. If you want a luxurious life (e.g expensive property, awesome cars), be prepared to be targeted by the government, the bank, the thieves. Or, be rich, live life as a normal, middle classed citizen and spend money elsewhere (e.g. travelling, education, food). Mmm... the latter sounds good.
Learning Cantonese: just continue asking, "What does _________ mean?". Doesn't matter if you eventually annoy the heck out of people.
