消防集體購物惹質疑

讀者杜先生早前目睹五名穿着整齊制服的消防員到紅磡一間超級市場購買食物和飲料，消防拯救車則停在門外等候，行為令人側目。另一讀者古小姐也見過一名穿便服男子把一部印有消防處字樣的四驅車，停泊在九龍城一個封閉咪錶車位，「唔知佢嘅身份係咪消防員？又唔係做緊急任務，唔應該停喺不准泊車位。」 

事件符合指引
消防處表示，鑑於消防員是 24小時當值，處方容許他們在非執行職務時，整隊連人帶車到商店購物，補充膳食物品，但以不影響緊急召喚服務為原則。

此外，該處並容許便裝消防員駕駛消防車，根據紀錄，上述消防處前線指揮車當天由一名當值助理消防區長駕駛，其職責是在有需要時奉召前赴事發現場擔任指揮工作，汽車停泊位置可立刻奉召出動又不阻礙其他道路使用者，符合該處指引。

今日睇到lee單新聞真係笑死. 咁都有得投訴.

講下我o係加拿大的經驗,話說,我份工都要著制服, 咁我都係人,都要食午餐. 有次我著住制服去到m記.買野食. 其他人見到我, 除左冇用特別眼光望我, 反而會問我, are u in a hurry? i can let u go first! 當時我真係感到非常榮幸, 佢地見到我著住制服, 反而會想讓我落order先.

但o係香港, 消防員著住制服去買野, 反而遭遇投訴, 又唔諗下到時如果"溫"lift, 火警, 隻猫被困, 係邊個黎幫手?

有時睇多香港新聞, 真係感到香港係一個好k型的社會. 有人會雞蛋裡挑骨頭. 與其挑剔人地, 不如對自己嚴謹少少吧.

學似加拿大人咁, 不僅唔會覺得我唔專業,反而會讓我行先, 落order先.

放鬆吧. 香港人.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

walking towards my goal

I have flown 3 times today. it's not too bad actually. i am upset with other instructors since they are not doing their job probably. i have to teach the student a lot of basic stuff while he's already on his fifth flight. 

after the flights , i was completed dead. i havent talked much for a long time.also i was just little sick.Coughing just killed my voice. every one in the school knows my goal is another 100 hrs flight time. Right, the flight time is my goal, i am aiming to get another 100 hrs before i leave the college for good, hopefully.

the bad news is i got told by my supervisor i will receive another student soon. i have to do the CPL review with him. As everyone knows, i hate spins so badly. During the CPL review, i have to teach the student how to enter a spin and recover from it. I just dun like doing spins coz it's dangerous and allowing the student to do may end up into a disaster. I am not a big fan of spins but while the supervisor assign you to do something,wt else can you do?Just SUCK IT UP.

i cant imagine. i really cant imagine.  This is part of ur life as an instructor. sometimes u have to do something that u are not willing to do,something that may threaten your life. We'll see. 

Back on track.

It has been couple days since i started working again in Canada. it's always fun to see my co-workers, my former students and the airplanes again. i really miss the sky a lot. the weather here is surprisingly good. I always see clear blue sky and calm wind associate with fresh air.

there's only one thing, ONE THING that i just need if they wanna keep me in New Brunswick which is Chinese food. it's always sad if you cant have chinese food for ur lunch, dinner or snacks. i always found having chinese food for meals is brilliant. From now on, i have to start the life again without Chinese food, pretty upset,right? 

anywayz, i am flying again. i just got one student so far. As i got told by my supervisor, this student is little bit weak, that's why they want me to put all of my focus on him at this moment. i havent flown with him yet, i cant judge his ability right now. I dun think he's not capable to become a pilot, just a matter of time. Anywayz, it's gonna be fun, it must be a challenging mission. 

at this moment, i enjoy my life here. People are more friendly(u cant agree anymore), more fresh air, more opening area, no limit driving speed etc.Hopefully, things are working well as planned.

   

自己面對壓力的心得.

每個case study 都有cause and effect, then solution.

咁先講cause,做flight instructor又好, 做什麼工作都好,一定有壓力, 壓力可以係自己俾自己, 可以係上司, 可以係客戶. 其實邊個俾都唔緊要, 都緊要係你點去handle. 就好似做flight instructor咁. 都有佢一定的壓力.

好多人有個錯覺, 做flight instructor, 同做airline pilot一樣, 坐o係架度,take off完等landing,非常輕易. 但事實上,又點會咁易.

一個小型飛機, 內裡的儀器冇大型飛機咁先進. 好多野都要靠人手去處理. 大型飛機可以靠機裡面儀器去睇到附近飛機的位置, 高度,距離.但係小型飛機就要靠自己的肉眼,if you dun see it, u are done for your life. 咁又會為飛行製造一點壓力. 猶以入到交通繁忙的地方, 周圍都係飛行, 加上d小型飛機又細隻,又係白色, 有時真係好難睇得到, 如果遇到咁的情況, 壓力係相當大. 加上你要顧自己架飛機同時, 又要教學生. 真係一點都唔輕易. 事關每一個決定都關乎機上的人安全, 同埋地上的人安全. 

又如, 教學生一止飛行技術的時候, 有一些技術係比較高難度. 同埋危險性甚高. 自己做, 問題都還不大. 但如果要放手俾學生自己做, 壓力係好大, 因為學生就係學生,對飛機的認識不足, 技術不是最純熟, 加上佢地學習都有壓力, 有時就係咁一個唔覺意就會出事. 所以有時放手俾佢地自己做, 成個人都要打醒幾萬分精神, 隨時有咩事, 就要救機. 因為學生搞唔掂的話, 最後平障就係自己, 如果我都救唔掂, 就會玩完. 咁可能有人會問, 做得instructor,應該o係上堂時就會教左你點救機ga啦. 事實並非如此, 上instructor course所教ge野有限, 加上學生唔熟架機,佢地可以做出來的事, 係經常性出人意表. 到時都係靠自己執生, 所謂的執生都係唯有自己對架機熟d, 到出事的時候頭腦清醒d. 早一d去foreseen 一d可能發生的問題, 防範於未然. 但係學飛始終係有風險, 出事的機會一樣有, 我自己的學校都曾有發生意外, 幸好未造成人命傷亡. 有時真係好想離開這個崗位. 猶其是知道當日係要做一d高風險的exercise, eg. spins, stalls, advance stalls.真係有點抗拒, 但又知道, 唔做唔得, 唯有之前一日早點休息, 俾自己有一個高度的集中力和體力.

還有, 另一壓力就係來自學生, especially放學生自己第一次去飛, o個種壓力真係大過自己飛的好多好多倍. 根本冇得比. 因為學生上到去, 有咩事都要自己搞掂, 冇人可以幫到佢. 如果佢touchwood出事, 作為instructor 就會責無旁貸. 所以每次放學生first solo,我都會幫佢地做好多心理調整. 例如大聲鼓勵, 拍佢地心口, 盡量增強佢地信心, 同埋o係飛的時候, 俾多d自由度佢地(最多出事時, 自己執手尾). 當佢地o係冇人幫的時候做到的話, 佢地自然會有信心. 所以每次first solo都有代價, 代價係壓力, 但壓力背後的就係學生可以從乜都唔識到自己可以上天空, o個種滿足感唔係$$就可以買到. 

點樣去減壓, 心得講唔上, 只不過每天放工, 盡可能都唔好諗返今日做過什麼. 盡量做自己想做的事, 例如買自己想食的食物, download d自己想睇的劇黎睇. 盡量獎勵自己. 亦不要將工作情緒帶返屋企, 這實在沒有必耍的. 

壓力人人都有. 能夠化解, 減壓與否, 事在人為. 不要為有壓力而出錯或逃避找藉口.

在LA 機場等轉機.

i am here at the Los Angeles Airport, waiting for my connecting flight to toronto via Cleveland.

i arrived at LAX this morning and re-checked in my bags at continental counter. Since my connecting flight departs at night which is couple hrs from now.

i went to downtown area in LA. it has been more than 10 years since i come back to this city. The weather here is just awesome!!the clear blue sky with cool temperature.

here are some pics. Hope u guys will like it.

i went to Hollywood, Staples center and Chinatown. Now i am back to the airport.

續壓力.

上回講到失敗帶來的壓力.

會考考得唔好, 生意失敗, 老細炸型, 表白失敗, 失戀, 追唔到巴士, 食魚梗骨等等或者o係眾人心目中都係一d唔想見到的事情, 亦會可以因此而感到沮喪. 社會上,因為事業, 感情, 家庭而自殺的比比皆事. 點樣先可以令自己唔會成為其中的一員.

一切只在乎你個人的心態. 朋友,家人o係身邊的支持, 鼓勵, 咩都係非最重要. 自己的心景先係最重要原素.

那麼咩心態先為指最正確的心態呢? Any positive Attitude is a good attitude.

當遇到挫折的時候, 第一時間要提醒自己,話俾自己聽"So what?" 個中意義係話自己聽家下遇到失敗,挫折又如何呢?? 好醜咩?? 會斷手斷腳?? 會上不到天堂?? 你會死嗎?如果唔係的話, 千萬要俾自己一個機會去踏上另一成功的路途. as long as 聽日你訓醒唔係世界末日, 機會猶在.

好多人o係失敗之後, 會選擇逃避, 唔敢見屋企人, 對住個海唉聲歎氣. 甚至乎自殺!點解?因為該時間係佢地人生中最軟弱的時候, 對世界的事提唔起勁. 覺得遊戲已完? 永不超生? 覺得要令自己舒服, 唯一解脫就係令自己人生完結. 大家千萬不要有這個心態. 曾遇過失敗的人, 邊個行業, 邊個年齡都有.just tell urself, u are not the only one. u are not the worst of all kind. 有人做開生意, 住洋樓,有車,有司機, 一個金融風暴乜都冇, 可以轉行揸的士為生, 你覺得佢好慘ma? 其實可能係樂在其中. 點解呢? 就係個人的心態上的分別. 家下佢可以自力更生, 用自己能力搵到$$過活, 一d都唔可憐. 有得活,已經是最快樂的事. 用自己辛苦找回來的金錢, 粗茶啖飯都可以好好味. 咁樣做既不會失去自己的尊嚴, 亦可以話俾這個社會聽, "我係對這個社會有貢獻的!" 對得自己,對得人. 人生就係咁. 不一定要大魚大肉, 每夜生活多姿多彩先叫做人生. 平淡也是福.

我記得我住toronto的時候, 當時我初到加拿大, 有個好勝心態, 快d讀完書, 想搵大$$的時候, 佢教左我一句名言. 我永遠記得,佢話.

"知足者貧亦樂, 不知足者富亦憂!"

心中富有先係最重要. 當有一份穩定工作, 有一個健康家庭, 至少返風下雨, 有個頂, 仲想要求什麼呢?? 冇$$又話憂, 有$$你又會話憂點洗D $$, 點將d $$愈滾愈大. 何必為自己的人生帶來那麼多不設實際的煩惱呢? 人生係為生活, 不是為生存.

講左咁耐, 想帶出就係你如果心中快樂, 壓力自然會大減. 

我住過加拿大7年, 亦o係香港過左自己大半人生, 發覺到大部分加拿大人係冇生活壓力. 因為佢地好滿足自己的生活, 有朋友,家人o係加拿大ge blog友都知道, o係公眾假期加拿大係咩都唔開, supermarket, mall, restaurants 都唔開(除左油站). 就係佢地覺得假期係政府俾佢地一個機會去休息, 陪伴家人.o係lee 街度, 真係靜過鬼咁. 但相反, o係香港我會發覺假期係特別旺.

壓力!?

今次返香港識到好多朋友, 有小朋友, 有長輩, 有平輩.



其中一個係我媽媽的食客, 其實係一班人, 大家已經熟到一齊約出黎BBQ 等等



可能係我個人多野講, 加上好奇心重, 好多時會請教佢地一d 人生道理, 好多知道當到左佢地的年齡,佢地的心態會係點, 同埋如果以一個人家妻子,
會對一個家庭有什麼盼望.



事實上, 一樣米養百樣人, 每個人都會有自己本教科書去行自己的路, 你有你的方法, 我有我的. 你同我的方法不同, 並不代表你會成功, 我不會,
反正人生路上, 一個人成功與否 ,根本冇一個準則.



所以當可以識到一些前輩的時候, 好多時,透過佢地的說話其實可以學到一d 求生技能. 聽之餘, 亦要過慮下.
然後慢慢編輯一本適合自己的教科書引領自己去行自己的人生路.



其中有一位食客問我. 現在的我, 有冇壓力??

問得好, 有冇壓力? 壓力好似係一個好可怕字眼. 壓力係一樣無形的東西, 但係威力係大到令不少人因為抵受唔到壓力而自殺. 細至小學生,
大至出黎做野的白領. 可能有人話" cher,你唔係當時人,你梗係講得輕鬆啦!"



冇錯, 的確我唔係當時人, 我只可以講每個人的性格唔同, 好難會人人都可以好輕而易舉咁處理壓力帶來的負面影響.
但係方法係一定有.受壓力的人如果肯依照別人提供的方法去減壓, 或者佢地最終唔會選擇自殺.

方法係有, 但係個quantity係幾多, 會直接影響個效果. 正如每個人的體質唔同, 大家都感冒的時候, 可能你食一日藥已經冇事,
可能我食幾日都仲死下死下咁.



就等我試下講下我對壓力的睇法.



作為一個大家所講的80後(其實我唔係好認同自己係80後, 最多都係90前)因為我一D都唔激進.



一個接近24歲的年青人,畢業兩年, 有份工作. 係咪代表冇壓力呢?

不妨又講下有咩壓力先?

去左外國7年. 用左屋企超過百萬完,如果讀唔成書,of course,there's pressure.



做到自己所做的事,係一個有牌照的飛機師,但係未飛到airline, of course there's pressure.



人工不是目標的, 想賺取更高的人工,of course there's pressure.



係屋企長子, 想屋企人早一點退休, 但現在未能做到,of course there's pressure.



當每次準備充足,去見工, 但唔成功, 心裡的焦急, of course this is pressure.



想成家立室,但連女朋友都未有,of course ,there could be pressure.



當人家質疑你的專業, 你要解話,of course there's pressure(經常出現, 香港冇這類工作, 並不代表世界其他地方沒有).



可能對於一些30,40歲的人仕, 根本係微不足道, 冇錯, 我認同, 根本係微不足道.但係事實上, 我未到o個個位置,
我真係唔會感受到一個husband or father ge pressure, 我斷唔能夠為嘗試這種壓力而草草結婚.



只不過我想講ge係, 唔同年紀, 有唔同的壓力,但減壓的方法其實都係一樣.

 

我自己處理壓力的方法其實好簡單. 就係ignore. 千萬不要當它係咩一回事.



係存在,但不要受其影響.



Always stay positive.



當遇到壓力, 首先唔好感到沮喪. 或者手足無燥. 知道自己的定位, 專注自己的工作, 咁先可以將自己最真的實力表現出來.

壓力可以令巴治奧射失十二碼, 其實就係stress management 的學問. 如果唔係有幾萬人叫, 有咁多國民的期望, 而係一個人練習場,
練射十二碼的話,佢應該未必會射失. 所以最先要就係將自己沉醉於自己的世界, 將自己融入一個只係你, 個足球,同埋龍門架的世界.

正如工作一樣, 老細迫你交貨, 咁你首先要做的一件事, 就係ignore 左你老細先. 唔好因為佢爆晒粗. 恐嚇你話扣你糧而產生壓力.
你先要知道你自己要做d乜, 然後就做. 你的電腦, desk, chair就係你的最好partner. 然後就麻醉自己, 同自己講, 人地做到,
我都一樣會做得到.



好似我當年學飛咁, 一班有20幾人, 當時見到一個,又一個朋友考到牌照, 我仲未考到其實,唔多唔少梗係會有點壓力,
因為限期內做唔到自動俾人foul 走. 但係我當時就同自己講, 佢地做得到, 點解我唔可以? 然後就用說話去支持自己努力,撐落去.
遊說自己,話俾自己聽,自己係得ge. 當然又有人會話"自欺欺人咩!" 我諗唔係自欺欺人, 係一D激勵自己士氣的說話.
係激發自己將自己心底最後一啖氣都用埋出黎. 成功只會跟自己愈走愈近. 人生斷不能永遠靠別人去撐自己. 真正救到自己的,永遠係自己.
所以當我遇到壓力, 個人軟弱的時候, 我就會撐自己,話俾自己聽, 壓力咪壓力, 只要死撐落去, 壓力自然會離我而去.



如果touchwood真係遇到失敗, 肯定又會有不同的壓力. 咁點算呢?? 到時就要同自己講"it's just a matter of
time!" 今次唔得,並不代表自己失敗.每一次attempt ge背後, 都係一個學習的機會. 只要從失敗中學習, 成功只係指日可待.

差不多天光, 係時候訓了. 下次再講埋落去.

續: toronto > Hong Kong

話說上回講到air canada gave me some "gifts" as courtesy.

咁所謂的gift 有咩呢?

首先俾左10 蚊CAD ge restaurant voucher. 但係問題係我o係等之前已經食左早餐. and i didnt know whether i can use it anytime in the future so what i did was getting another one just in case i am hungry in flight .that is gonna be my second breakfast in a day. but not over yet. more to come soon.

Again this is my breakfast, a huge combo. juice, pop, soup and a chicken breast sub.

it's not cheap at all, 9.71 CAD.

 

And they also offered me $200 CAD air ticket voucher. it's my first time to receive this kind of voucher. i am quite surprised with that. anywayz, not bad.

a deck of boarding pass! the old one and the new one.

Eventually, bounding for Los Angeles(LAX). it has been already 5 hrs stuck at airport. but i am fine with that.Just hanging around at the airport,watching planes.

i was sitting right behind the executive class which allows me to have a lot of legroom,quite easy to move around.

Air Canada係其中一個medium flight ,要俾$$先有in flight meal ge airline.

But while every one was being asked if they wanted to order a meal. i was actually offered a meal for free. Coz they said my ticket was actually claimed by using the air miles from continental airline but flying as an air Canada passenger. i guess they have some kind of partnership.

So i was like .........i just had my breakfast , i still have another one in a bag, what am i supposed to do with the offer? eventually i took the offer. i got the sausage breakfast with drink.

the one below is the manu ,it clearly states the price of each item, quite expensive actually.

it was a boring flight. the flight map of the in-flight entertainment system was down. i didnt even know how far i was away from Los Angeles. i was quite anxious actually. i was hoping i wouldnt miss the connecting flight.

eventually i saw LA!!!

LA 真係好靚.見到d hightway真係發覺lee 個城市幾well organized. 個天氣又好.
可惜今次只係轉機....

最終都到達LA, 咁routine 工作梗係拎行李. 其實去到LA已經發覺時間有點緊. 因為domestic terminal 同international 有點距離, 我事前已經知道要走一段路先可以去到china airlines check in.

o係拎行李度, 一路等,等,等.等到條運輸帶停埋.. 無奈地事實話我聽我D行李應該寄失左........當時心情又冇嬲. 反而只係擔心catch唔到另一班機.

最終我去左air canada 度, 佢check到我d baggage冇上到機,反而跟左另一班機, 透過chicago 先黎到LA. 佢又話如果我要等埋班機到,肯定上唔到機返香. 結果最終都係幫我開左個file,話會直接送到我門口. 直至張itenary confirm 左,我就立即搵方法去international terminal,因為o個度都搞左幾耐下.

始終唔熟個機場, 有人教我坐shuttle,有人教我行.
去到shuttle,個driver又話lee 架車去唔到, 要坐另一架. 又話行路要十分鐘.
如果與其等車,不如跑. 最終都跑到氣喘......搵到china airline.
仲見到好多人排緊隊tim. 再confirm先知道原來自己冇遲到,哈哈.

之前咪講過唔見行李係可以係好事ge?? 到check in 時真係應驗左. 原來airline有個counter係for no bags check in.我一望到, 就望下自己, yee,我咪no bags, 咁咪可以唔洗排.結果真係唔洗排. 感覺猶如打尖一樣, 由拎到boarding pass 到過security,到搵到架機,全程唔洗10分鐘.快到.................

期間仲俾我見到a380 tim,第一次見到咋!!
由於太多時間, 所以就係咁周圍影相!!

my plane !! flying 747 again after 6 years!!

a big qantas a380 at the ramp!

LA,LA,LA,LA!!!
i must come back for you soon!!

baggage are being ditched everywhere at the airport!!what a burn!!

anywayz, 再續....time to go....

十年

十年.一個妙的數字.
不經不覺. 識左香港的中學朋友已經有十年的日子.
能夠keep到十年真係好難得. 加上部分人如我, 部分時間都不在香港. 但感情猶在.
就o係大家相識十年的時候, 我地搞左一個壽宴去慶祝這個大日子.
感覺太好. 由大家相識的時候可能仲係追星, 去陸運會,玩ICQ的時代,到而家大家都長大成人, 有自己的事業,學業,愛情. 感覺轉變真係幾大. 如果將這十年輯成書本, 將來自睇返, 一定會津津有味.

當日天氣非常好, 我們幾個子先去南生圍散步.
第一次去南生圍. 都好,叫做去過. 第時人地問o個度d街渡幾$$都知.
同埋,真係幾好行, 好少可o係香港有個地方行左3個鐘都唔會聽到電話聆聲, 粗口, 同埋汽車聲!

之後就係去左上面幅圖之地方, 白泥睇日落!!

幾爽呢!!

歎過日落後去左元朗,一家住家式的地方食盆菜. 好!非常好食.
大家好似一家人,可以無分比此. 唔洗用公筷, 鍾意食咩就食咩.此刻無價.

臨離開之前, 更收到一個震撼的消息, 就係我地其中一位女成員宣佈將會年尾步入教堂, 成為人家的妻子.消息黎得非常震撼, 事前毫無先兆. 不過係開心, 真係好開心, 佢係我中一第一個坐o係我隔壁的女同學, o個陣為左計數鬥勁, 輸左一包lemon tea俾佢,哈哈, 你睇,我幾記仇,lol!!

講真, 真係開心, 佢係我地首個成家立室的人, 我相信lee d野只會陸續有來, 遲早炸死我個wallet,不過真係開心. 我最鍾意就手旁觀. 咩都唔洗做(除左人情), 就可以食餐勁.哈哈. 講笑OnlY!!
我好期待我班朋友可以一個, 一個嫁出去, 娶老婆,咁將來下個十年就唔只開一圍, 仲可以包晒成個場. 大人一堆, 小朋友又一堆. 實在太好玩呀!

同埋去婚禮, 實在太多感動位, 我lee d大壞蛋就最鍾意事前圍埋做d野, 搞喊個場. 我地心裡有數,始終係老朋友結婚, 一定要送一份有心思, 有紀念價值的禮物. 我相信佢地收到一定會好開心.

本身plan左年尾返黎一次, 家下又要再準備機票, 12月再返黎多一次.

在此僅祝yan 同學與其未婚夫白頭到老(white head to old), 仲有連生貴子. 記住呀, 你應承過我, 第時借個仔俾我, 幫我逗利是ga.

thank you every of you, i love you so much .Please accept my sincere blessings and wish every one you all the best in the future. i will see you soon.
