| 6 October is my first working day for my 2nd year in Lutex. So it's good to leave my "New Year Resolution" here  !
Connie: I'll be kinder to you and other female colleagues in the department. it'd not only important in my work, but the road to a more fruitful life. In addition, I'll be more detail-minded and taking a greater role in my work. I won't let you down.
Master Henry: I'll take your advice and making those long lasting changes as suggested. It's vital to make such change or else I can't deliver what I have promised above
To make all these changes happen while a swift promotion is unlikely, I'm now considering if I should apply for the post of Officer in HK Air Cadet Corp... Any comments or details in the 9-month training (and my way ahead and degree of commitment in the Corp needed)? | | |

3 October marks my 1st Anniversary in Lutex. With a sense of nostalgia, I decided to have a lunch gathering with my dear Boots R&D teammates (minus my department head, as she had an appointment with somebody else) at Spaghetti House Wanchai--the same restaurant I had my welcome lunch one year ago.
The same place, different table and different people beside me--all the faces I met in the reception lunch were gone. But I have a lovely gal and a master by my side now! The anniversary lunch turned out to be a good opportunity to know more about each other!
Will we celebrate my 2nd Anniversary together? I wonder and looking forward about it! | | |
| To commemorate Japan's acceptance of the terms of the Potsdam Declaration on 15 August, let us observe the Victory over Japan Day (VJ Day) with a different approach rather than celebrating the Allies' victory--let us:
(1) in memory to everyone who gave their life to the cause of Freedom, be it Chinese, British, Americans, Australians, Canadians, etc. Without their sacrifice, we won't enjoy a happy life our parents and grandparents are enjoying,
(2) a special mention to innocent Japanese soldiers who were needlessly died under the influence a distorted worldview, an ideology that spreads tyranny and hatred
(3) let us collect oral accounts of confessed Japanese vets, either on your own or providing support to those who are working on it.
(4) Last but not least, let us join our hand to advocate for a formal apology from and a comprehensive financial compensation to war victims wholly sponsored and managed by the current Japanese Government.
