Wakeboarding

I have lots of fun wakeboarding last weekend! Even I only boarded for less than half an hour, my muscle are so sored even till today!!! I guess I haven't got any real execise for a really long time!

I love wakeboarding coz it reminds me of snowboarding in Vancouver! With the snowboarding experience, I found wakeboarding quite easy to pick up, althought I still prefer snowboarding a bit better. For snowboarding, I can be so free on the mountain where I can go anywhere I want and board w/ my friends together. For wakeboarding, I can still do the turns, but half of the control falls on hand of the speedboat captain and I can only take turns with my friends rather than playing together.

But I guess it's a petty good alternative in Hong Kong if I can't fly somewhere to snowboarding every weekends and it is great to stay in the water in such hot weather! :)

Why Duckie Monster???

I used this blog name coz it reminds me of fun in life!

"Duckie" is the way my husband calls me coz he thinks that I am short, fat, careless, and cute (something positive) of course! And "monster" is what I call him coz he's much bigger than me and could be very scary sometimes, even he is harmless!

Once we joined an orienteering competition and he submitted "DuckieMonster"as our team name. Of course, we didn't win anything it was funny enough to see our nicknames posted on the board!! And the most important of all, it made me happy!

Even just stupid nicknames that we call each other would reminds me of the fun in life! We don't always need to be so serious!!!

Sieze the Day!

This is a famous line from the movie Dead Poets Society by Robin Williams in 1989. That is almost 20 years ago! I remember that so clearly coz that line had inspired me at that time. It was the time when I wasn't very happy with school, with life, and wonder what is the meaning to live in this world. Somehow, I thought everyone in the world is better than me and I was worthless. But those words from the movie seemed to clear my mind. I started to find meaning in life and did a lot of volunteering work, be more active and cheerful.

After twenty years, I kind of face the same problem in HK. I kept thinking that my life in HK is not as fun as in Vancouver. And I kept complaining even I know that I am luckier than alot of people. I become more negative and I even hate myself that way! Therefore, I decided to start this new blog and keep posting my happy memories again. I want to be cheerful no matter I am in HK or Vancouver! Thanks for my friend who inspire me again from her blog!! I am very glad that we have inspired each other in all this years! :)

People can't change their life, but they can always change their attitude!
