我等著你吃點心！

 

老爸又入院了！但願奇蹟再次發生在你身上！

老爸： 再次發揮你一貫的頑強鬥志力，再給我們多一點時間！

我在等著你！等著帶你到茶樓吃你喜愛的點心，還有那百吃不厭的白切雞。

問你“好吃嗎？”，你總是說“麻麻地！”，但手中筷子卻把食物一口一口的送入口中；接著滿意地說“飽啦！”。

老爸： 我們已沒有福氣再吃到你煮的菜式，但我們也想煮些一點也比不上你的家常小菜給你試！

老爸： 我還要帶你到山水茶寮，給你找回從前很多美好的回憶！

但願你再次大步艦過！！ 加油！！！

 

Yahoo-Blog 真不知所謂

Yahoo-Blog 真不知所謂！！！

 

唔明點解 Yahoo-Blog 經常說 “找不到這篇網誌”？

但那篇網誌明明是已上載了！？

而且一些朋友的“回應”及“留言”經常無故地不見了！

好易比朋友誤會是我自己刪除的！

初時還以為是家中電腦出問題，但在公司的電腦也出現同樣現象！

Yahoo-Blog 請好好改良吧！

1 x 8 + 1 = 9

Brilliant, isn't it?

And look at this symmetry:

1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help
answer these questions:

If:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Is represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

If:

H-A-R-D-W-O-R- K

8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

And:

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E

11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But:

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E

1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%


THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:

L-O-V-E-O-F-G-O-D

12+15+22+5+15+6+7+15+4 = 101%

Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:

While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will
get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top! 

Have a nice day & God bless !!
