[365-01] 提升創意

某天,上司轉發了一封來 SEMINAR CM 的電郵,轉發的內容是「Please join if you have time」,如此一來,我上星期上了一課「Problem Solving Skills」。

很久沒有上過一課「有增值」(Added-value) 的課,裡面提到的方法、流程跟工具,其實都是些已經在用的東西,只是沒有好好整理,用上來欠缺系統性,這堂課讓我重新檢視了一下。

於我最重要的,是講者提出了現代 PROBLEM SOLVING 的 CRITICAL POINT 在於創意的運用,沒有創新的思考,墨守成規的 SOLUTIONS 在現代社會,基本上都不是真正的 SOLUTIONS (因為 GLOBALIZATION 把東西都弄複雜了) 。那我們該如何提升創意呢?尤其人的創意大概在二十歲之後就只剩下 20%!!!

講者的第一建議是寫日誌!文字日誌、照片日誌、人家的話語、乘車時看到的廣告、美味的餐飲、談天說地、風花說月‧‧‧‧‧‧ 通通可以是日誌的題材,重點是每天都要有一點頭腦的休息 (不單單是 ROUTINE 的工作 [就算用腦也不行,重複的工作會使人麻目]) 與衝擊。

其次是要嘗試一些新玩意,譬如跳舞、運動,更好的是藝術與音樂有關的。

聽到這裡,我忽然很想哭,也很想辭掉現在的工作。為什麼堅持了幾乎二十幾年的音樂會離我這樣遠?轉到現在的公司前,我還在上鋼琴課,雖然是玩票性質的,還是有在作作曲。為什麼瑜珈會越練越差?一週連一次也抽不出時間?為什麼家中的宣紙最近碰都沒碰到?

連懷孕期間都沒有停止的網誌,居然十個月來一篇更新都沒有?突然醒覺我最近的生活有多頹廢,這樣的生活,要如何樹立一個好榜樣給我的小程程呢?

所以,我要再次開始我的 365。這是 365 之一。謝謝!

回歸 BLOGGER :P

托 GOOGLE+ 的福,我回歸 BLOGGER 啦!!!!

之前因為 WINDOWS 同 WORDPRESS 合作,我把 BLOGGER 同 WINDOWS SPACE 既所有 BLOG POSTS 都整合左係 WORDPRESS 度,但因為無 SOCIAL NETWORK WEBSITE 既支持,根本無人黎咁制 >.< 連看開我 BLOG 既朋友都唔知我有新 BLOG @@ 呢個係我既錯,因為我居然唔記得登「搬家啟示」 :P

Anyway, I'm back!!! ^______^

Burger is coming!!!!!!

After the consultation with Doctor on Wednesday, it was originally confirmed to have my c-section on 18th the Saturday. Doctor said, if she wants to come earlier, we'll see the situation. All I have to do was stay relax and wait.

Yet, my little Burger is too curious about this World! My water broke at 2 AM 13 June!!!  As predicted, just very mild contractions and the doctor advised not to have induced labour since the probability of success would be really minimal :P

Burger is playing hide and seek with the Midwife :P

The midwife was checking Burger's head and thus was pushing quite hard and squeezing my belly as well as Burger head in fact!!!! Then Burger kept moving from right to left and left to right! :P

When the midwife put the "ultrasound scope" thing onto my belly and tried to hear Burger's heartbeat, we could only hear the background noise!!! And the midwife kind of scold at Burger, "Little B, you play hide and seek with me? You're quite naughty!" Then she started to pat and push my belly from side to side (in fact she should be patting Burger) and once Burger showed her leg (probably) on my left side, the midwife pushed on Burger's leg and put that scope thing on the right TIGHTLY! I could feel that little Burger was forced NOT to move and this time we could hear the heartbeat very clearly ^^

And... haha~ the midwife said Burger's heartbeat is very strong as a girl! And thus she guessed that Burger was a boy :P

BURGER 足月啦!

雖則 FAMILY 無早產 HISTORY,但之前試過無故頻繁宮縮同肚痛,加上無論私家定政府既醫生同助產士都話人人都有機早產,心理上係有 D 負擔,終於今日足月啦,安落晒!^^

不枉我日日同小 BURGER 談心 ^____^

Was Burger doing Yoga?

Tonight after dinner, Burger danced happily and once Daddy came home, she was a bit over-excited! :P Every thing went on very smoothly...

Then, Mama smelt some Chinese External Medicine and suddenly remembered that Mama shouldn't smell such things as the medicines used are not good for baby in womb. Daddy and Mama went straight home but Burger didn't move at all since then!!!!!

Mama was sooooooo worried (Ok; Mama admits that I've been too sensitive on this) and asked Daddy to chat with Burger. With a long conversation and kisses, Burger still had no reaction!

Daddy suddenly claimed that Burger was doing Yoga... she was performing the 'Big Rest'  (well.. I don't like the original term for this pose, so does my Master, so we change to this). Then Daddy woke her up by using the Yoga method!!!!!

Daddy said to Burger, "Om... Om... Om... Had a good rest and restored our Power. Now slowly and slightly move your arms and legs and toes and fingers. You had a good rest and now slowly get back into your original pose."

Surprisingly!!!!!! Burger DID move her pat pat a bit, though very slightly :P [and though.... Daddy didn't mention pat pat at all... hahaha]

或許小 BURGER 真的是一頭食肉獸,昨天的花生 BUN 她不喜歡,今天 GROVE  的煙三文魚三文治卻深得她的歡心喔!

很開心的跳! :)

眼見踏入 34 週幾,之前飲過幾次媽媽奶粉試用裝都沒有不良反應,今早便開封早前惠氏送來的媽媽奶粉,沖一杯當早餐配上花生 BUN。

誰知半杯還沒下肚,胃就有點不舒服,立刻喝水以"沖淡"奶味。

但花生 BUN 吃完後,胃還是不舒服,最終忍不住吐了 :( 還不知道是 BURGER 不喜歡花生 BUN 還是媽媽奶呢? 要是 BURGER 不喜歡奶,難道真的外甥多似舅,要喝豆奶嗎??

Afternoon Tea @Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong

上星期 Kaman 來電誠邀 Afternoon Tea,剛好在健康院等候看醫生中,回答要是醫生「批准」,我沒所謂。

看醫生的時候也特地問了一下:「之前醫生說要多休息,我整個星期都 WORK AT HOME;剛剛姑娘說要多走路,那我可以多逛街了吧?」醫生說,多走路可幫助生產,但也要小心不要過勞,她提意慢慢散步,走路要是太累,肚子有點不舒服,都要坐下,盡可能躺下。也提醒在家工作也要小心不要過勞,精神操勞也會影響小 BABY 的發展。

所以我的理解是... 可以去 Afternoon Tea!!! 不過我要「要求」港島區,因為我應該也是 Take A Cab,而且我要坐得比較舒服的地方 ^^

Kaman 的心水是 Grand Hyatt,但原來有時間限制,一小時四十五分 ONLY;兜兜轉轉才決定去 Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong。

我怕喝茶咖啡因太多,所以選了 HOT CHOCOLATE,很滑很香。Kaman 的 Earl Grey 也很香,但不知茶滑不滑。Pinky 的 Ceylon 顏色很好,加奶後的顏色看上去也很滑。Wing 的花茶,就花茶樣,我對花茶完全沒概念 :P

咸點的 SANDWICH,我只吃了 SALMON CHEESE WHEAT BREAD,好好吃!Burger 對 Salmon / Cheese 很有興趣!

還有像 SPINACH QUICHE 的 MINI CHEESE PIE,CHEESE 好濃,也是好好吃!

SCONE 更好!我喜歡這一種 SCONE,BUTTER CREAM 很特別,香濃也滑但不油,STRAWBERRY JAM 應該是 FRESHLY MADE 的,但我不太喜歡,雖然 Kaman 說好好吃! ^^

甜點反而... 就 so-so :P 好吃但沒有很好吃的感覺~ 或許,Burger 真的像爸爸,除了 CREAM,爸爸對甜點的興趣沒有很大 :P

最大收獲是... 看到一個約三到五個月的 BABY 跟媽媽還有 AUNTIE UNCLE 來,那 AUNTIE 說,她 made reservation 時特別 request sofa seats and mentioned that they will have a baby and a babycar! The seats are really nice and the baby can just sleep on the sofa!!!! So when Burger was born, we can still have Tea with Burger ^^

哈哈~ 看來 BURGER 真的像爸爸,是一頭「食肉獸」 :P

今天 BURGER 要跟爺爺麻麻姨婆姑姑及未來姑丈慶祝母親節,但... 麻麻選了吃素!@@

本來晚飯時間已經很早,6 點正,但爸爸還是選擇四點鐘的時候先「打底」,到了味千吃拉麵,卻吃到了很難吃的拉麵!原來不單單是信德味千難吃,是全部的味千都變得難吃 ><

BURGER 應該沒甚麼心情吧,也沒有跳舞!本來我一吃東西,她就會跳一下舞再睡覺的;到了吃晚餐的時候,BURGER 居然是完全沒有動!!!明顯是一點都不喜歡 :P

反而吃糖水的時候,BURGER 對芝麻糊喳咋很有興趣喔!哈哈~

上一回領教了健康院姑娘們對「體重減輕」的嚴陣以待,這一回檢查前特地吃了一份很豐盛的早餐,誰知... 真的太豐富了!這一回體重增加太多 :P

幸好姑娘說 OVERALL 的體重增加還是太少 (其實從醫院第一次記錄到現再已經重差不多 20 LBS,但她說不是用那個基數@@),她把這一次的增重過多看成「追回落後的磅數」,還要我這 7 個禮拜重 7 LBS!

在等待見醫生時,BURGER 又跳舞了!這一次好可愛!真的從右扭到左,又從左扭回右! ^^ 看了三次之多,我準備用 IHPONE 拍下給 KAKIN 看,鏡頭一對準,BURGER 卻一動也不動,應該是害羞吧!把 IHPONE 挪開,她又開心地跳舞!剛好 KAKIN 打電話來,DADDY 跟她說,沒關係,回家再跳給爸爸看!

助產士跟醫生都說 BURGER 的頭應該在下面了~  醫生說上一回的化驗報告,顯示出有「蛋白質」但種不到菌,所以下一次要回東區醫院再作一次檢查以策安全。是蛋白質嗎?? 怎麼我覺得很奇怪?? 那究竟政府會幫我們驗乙型鏈球菌嗎? 見了醫生,還是甚麼都不知道 @@

Ladies' Talk and Dinner @Cafe Habitu the Table

      Long time haven't hang out with friends since my Doctor didn't allow me to do so and for the health of Burger, I'm more than willing to stay at home ^^

This time is an exceptional case... haha~ Cafe Habitu the Table is very close to my place (and to the hospital as well) and it is very convenient for me to take a cab there. The food there is also fine for me and Burger.

We tried two different kinds of Egg Benedict. The first One is the 'common' tomato and the second one is the 'luxury' CAVIER!!!

    

But personally I think the Egg Benedict from the Pressroom is better :P

Others, frankly, so-s0 la~ but the pizza is good. Crispy enough yet the Salmon was a bit too salty to me :P

And the drinks... my lemonade tasted fine but June said it was too sour and yes, I think it  would be too sour for 'normal people' ^+^

Very honestly, I don't think I'll go again sine the coffee there (I tried once before) was not too impressive and the food there was just so-s0. But if somehow I pass by the area and would like to sit down and have a chat with my friend, it may be another choice than Starbucks or Pacific Coffee.

Burger  跳舞呀!

醫生今天要接生,時間改了又改,最後改到 3:15PM. 上午跟媽咪飲茶後就沒有吃飯,想看完醫生再吃,誰知 Burger 在醫務所裡跳舞!連旁人都看到我的肚皮在跳舞!!

因為醫生還沒回來,護士「勸」我先去吃東西,她一定不忍心小 BABY 捱餓 :) 果真,吃了餃子跟烏冬後,Burger 就安睡了 ^^ 哈哈~

但... 我的體重還是輕了 @@ 護士說不打緊,小 BABY 就像寄生蟲,會先把營養吸引,所以如果小 BABY 生長正常就不用太擔心,當然,繼續沒有增重也是問題啦~

醫生這一次問診很快,應該因為她「遲到」了,不想病人等太久。但照的還是很詳細。

跟醫生說了之前的「假陣痛」跟健康院的跟進,醫生說,有事一定要入院,根據 Burger 現在的體重,醫生說進度良好,還說要是真的早產,34 週就很穩了!不用太擔心小 BABY 的肺功能 @@

這一次,Burger 有 1.967 KG 了!但除了一直超前的"ARM LENGTH", 其他的 MEASUREMENT 都是 31 WK  多至 32 WK,不過醫生說不打緊。Burger 的臉跟上次差不多,只是這一次有看到眼睛,醫生說她「眼仔碌碌」,可一說完,她就閉起雙眼囉 :P

也看到她的腳,她的腳就在我的右腰側,真的很側 :P 可是腳型很可愛,醫生說有 7 CM!!!! 還說「腳挺大」... UMUM.... 腳大是否像爸爸,會長高喔!好好!

[1.967KG 剛好在 50 PERCENTILE 的 CURVE 上;按這個進度,40 週出生就會像媽媽一樣 3KG 多一點喔! ^^ 媽媽心中最理想的體重就是 7LB 啦~ Good Gal!!! ^^]

My aunt (My dad's sis-in-law) suddenly called us and told us she had picked a Baby Cot and a Baby Car for us and asked if we had prepared or not.

So... we don't need to buy the Baby Car!!!! =) Yeah!

And the Baby Registers... our Univ. friends asked again today but frankly we bought most things for Burger :P So maybe they would buy some "1 year old" clothes or other toys or books? Um... if Flora is going to choose the books / toys, that would be great! She is now studying Young Child Education and is teaching playgroup! So she must be a Pro in baby education ^^

又來了!假陣痛!

昨晚要睡的時候就開始肚子痛,但只是很輕的,有點像拉肚子但又沒有便意。

Kakin 說要去急症,因為醫生說再有類似情況要看醫生,但我這一次特別留意肚子有沒有硬,沒有,應該不用看醫生。

深呼吸、放鬆、北極雄休息,過一會兒就好了。

誰知臨天光的時候又來!一共三次,只是每一次的程度都有減少,而且肚子也沒有硬,可以確定不是早產陣痛 :P

但為什麼會這樣呢?是太操勞了嗎?可是我已經盡量 HOME OFFICE 了,而且現在是 EASTER HOLIDAYS 喔!

經過幾次驚魂,Kakin 對 Burger 說,要乖乖,我們約好,等過了爸爸生日,Burger 足月了,我們約定六月中見面抱抱!^^

Wow!!!! 今天早上起床時發覺 Kakin 的睡姿跟 USG 照到的 Burger 是一樣的!!!

兩者都是一手伸到頭上去,另一手放在下巴上!當初醫生照到 Burger 如此姿勢後也問她:「你在做甚麼?托腮呀?另一隻手卻在搞頭髮」

有其父必有其女爾!

Easter Holiday starts!!!!!!

Easter Holiday starts!!!!!!

Steve was going to Golf early afternoon today and thus we were having early morning tea in Causeway Bay. After that, went shopping with Mum and confirmed a list of "Gifts" to Burger! ^^

1. Bath Tub - a plain and normal tub without any fancy design; big enough though :P
2. Bath Net - we are newbies in taking care of newborns and thus the Bath Net is a must; the sponge type seems no good
3. Bed Rest - we found the two kinds of bed rest, one with a wedge for Cot use and another one (bed rest only) for bigger babies; we should be buying the wedge one
4. Baby Carrycot / Car - no ideas yet; but thinking about the McLaren since our previous targets (Chicco and Quinny) are too big and not too user-friendly

It's really nice to have early morning tea! After shopping, it was only normal lunch/tea time; not yet 2pm. Hahaha~ Mum's shoulder was not yet recovered and felt painful again so she went home first.

Kakin joined me afterwards and we went for a late lunch. Great!!!!! 魚一丁 has lunch set even on public holidays! BUT... the portion of the Sashimi Rice Set became smaller AGAIN! We tried three times for lunch and each time got a smaller portion than the previous one @@

We were about to go home but I suddenly think of the yawn I'm "craving" for :P I'd like to get more baby yawns for Burger at a lower price :P the cashmere I'm now using is REALLY expensive! (A mum bought HK$3600 yawns  for knitting a jacket for her 10-year-old gal... see how expensive those cashmere yawns are?)

We finally went to 巴黎毛冷 - the place I always went to when I was still at school doing needleworks! Full of... elderlies... heehee~ the shopkeeper is an old man, though he is still offering knitting class. The salesmen were also old men :P except the one at cashier!!! hahaha!! And the customers... most of them are grannies @@

BUT!!! It doesn't matter! The yawns sold there are all good balance of quality and price! The baby yawn I bought is only HK$42 for 50g! And it is sooooo soft and not allergic at all (my hands are goddamn "good" testers for allergy; my hands will get red and itchy IMMEDIATELY if the fabric is not clean or it is allergic to me)!

And silly me... I bought 2 Japanese crochet books (latest in trend; only published in March 2011) and tried to take up this challenge with the newly bought yawns.  But I forgot that I've never touched crochet before and I'm going to learn from the books ONLY @@ Hope I'll be succesful!! ^^

到健康院產檢前還特地吃了一頓很豐富的早餐,誰知還是輕了!護士很緊張的要我多秤一次,還是輕了。

跟護士說了星期日的事,她說應該第一時間去看醫生,我說,可是真的沒有很痛,她說陣痛剛開始時有些人都覺得不痛,所以不能掉以輕心。

護士要我見醫生,說輕了已經要見醫生確保 BB 生長正常,星期日的假陣痛驚魂也要醫生確定沒有異樣。

醫生說現在一切正常,但還是提醒我,萬一又發生類似狀況便要第一時間入院。因為之前護士說肚子硬是正常的,要 REHEARSAL 的時間,那我問醫生是否肚子硬 + 痛就要入院,答案是肯定的。如只有一樣發生,那可以再觀察一下,不過如有見紅狀況便要去醫院了!她還說,所有婦女都會有早產的機會,所以要安全至上。

至於 BURGER,不知為什麼,這個醫生檢查的時候不斷的「打她」,用手狠狠的把我的肚子從左推到右!又從右上推向左下!最後更「打」我的肚皮,心跳機卻停在同一位置上,由雜音變成心跳。之前的醫生都是輕輕推一下肚皮,再調心跳機的位置;這個醫生卻左推右推來「遷就」心跳機位置,很奇怪。還是她想看看 BURGER 的活動能力?因為經此一役,BURGER 整天都很活躍,跳跳踢踢的,好像生怕醫生又要她「動起來」一樣!很可愛 ^^

最後,醫生說要多休息,無事多臥床以策安全。

護士提醒下週開始記錄胎動,明天開始「實習」一下。

假陣痛驚魂!!!! 究竟這是否假陣痛???

本來以為腸胃炎已好,但昨天下午開始又胃痛、肚痛,左躺又躺也不舒服。好不容易捱過了,肚卻抽筋起來!像經痛又不像,肚也慢慢硬起來!!

痛了一陣就沒事,我還沒意識這可能就是假宮縮或假陣痛的徵兆,真的以為是腸胃沒好。

隔了幾個鐘,黃昏的時候又來一次!但其實真的沒有「很痛」,痛是痛但以前的經痛好像還嚴重。

到晚飯的時候還可以談笑風生,沒甚麼異樣。

誰知夜晚臨睡前再來一次!

這算是有規律的陣痛嗎?應該不算吧,今天才 31 週喔!

可是!!!半夜上廁所時發現分泌比之前深色,上課時說「見紅」不一定是紅色,也有可能是咖啡色的,那我應該去醫院嗎?猶豫不決之際發現肚子已經沒有硬硬的,也沒有再痛了,而且 19 號要產檢了,沒事還是算了吧!

如是者三次驚魂,臨天光的時候又來一次微微的痛,但肚子並沒有很硬。

現在又一切如常,像甚麼事也沒有發生一樣,連深色分泌都沒有了!應該不用看醫生,可是明天一定要告訴護士!

本來今天有媽媽聚會的說‧‧‧我都不能去了 >_<
