•Rich Dad, Poor Dad (9)
A good read. It might be a bit repetitive, but the lessons the author endeavors to teach through lots of examples are absolutely important. Learn the lessons soon and stick to several of the rules for the rest of your life. It is hardly the knowledge you lack that kills you, but most often the attitude you take that does. To truly take control over your innate human psychology takes a long time and lots of failures. So, do start soon.

•Ignore Everyone
Rather than helping with the generation of creative ideas, I think this book is instead telling me the ugly truth of human character…
•幫香港算算賬
不竟也該多讀讀有關自己身處的社會的書,太冷感不太合適吧…?(不過始終是對其他科目比較有興趣啦…)

•魯迅箴言 (8.5)
文人寫東西果然是不一樣的。好的文字原來這麼賞心悅目、亦可引領我們不停思考。簡潔的文字,深刻的反省。我真的該偶爾花點時間看這類書籍。

<< In Progress >>

•一個證券分析師的醒悟 – 張化橋的股市真話
知道了許多有關內地制度和公司的事情,我認為大部份論點也清晰、合邏輯。
•The Culture Code
A very interesting book on marketing with quite a new perspective and the idea appears to be workable. It’s a long read and I will certainly get back to this later on.
•101 Things I Learned in Business School
An easy read but does not excite me much…

為了報MBA而GMAT,一下子把書都放低了。但原來要把GMAT考好是需要很充足的訓練,單單懂得解題並不足夠,必須訓練出一看題目便知曉該解題方式,否則時間根本不足。唉~~

四月月結

<< Completed >>

•How an Economy Grows and Why It Crashes (9.5)
Through storytelling aided with lovely illustrations and humor that may appear simple of the surface, it explains complex topics of economic growth and monetary systems.
•The ETF Trend Following Playbook – Profiting from Trends in
Bull or Bear Markets with Exchange Traded Funds (7)
It is basically a beginner’s reference guide to ETFs andtrend following. The trend following technique it teaches I believe is feasible; however I personally hesitate to adopt it fully with my own real money so I’m planning to test it with a virtual portfolio soon and meanwhile trying tointegrate it with the indexing technique learnt from The Elements of Investing.
•每天懂一點 - 好玩心理學 (7.5)
既可愛易讀又實用的心理學入門書。

<< In Progress >>

•The Soros Lectures: At the Central European University
A profound philosophic book that after finishing half of it I’ve decided to put it down for the time being. It’s quite a stressful and sober read.
•A Cure for the Common WORD
Well, I probably would just flip it over whenever I feel like to.
•死的型錄
鬼才寄藤文平的舊作,他的多角度思維加上簡潔而活潑生動的插圖確讓我神往。
•金錢之王II
若然可以多認識這社會上的精英,想必獲益良多!

這個月也很努力呢~ Keep it up! ^_^

三月月結

<< Completed >>

•Suicide by Sugar (8)
I never learned as much about nutrition at a time other than reading this book. I actually cut all sugar intakes from snacks and even ketchup for two weeks to test whether I’m a sugarholic or not. The result was negative and I didn’t feel much difference so I concluded that I should aim for a moderate consumption other than to completely get rid of it (which life would be bad!)
•The Elements of Investing (8.5)
If I’m not determined to learning this subject through experiencing the highs and lows, I probably will adopt this strategy. However I do find this meaningful, therefore I aim at enhancing the strategy with other techniques so one day it could be at my use.
•一個人漂泊的日子2 (7.5)
不竟每位設計師都有自己風格和特長,模仿或勉強迎合他人需要而畫成的作品根本不會帶有魅力。

<< In Progress >>

•Bill Bryson – Troublesome Words
Quite a decent reference.
•圖解化學
題材滿有趣的,但中文的化學書始終特別深奧…
•Understanding Nutrition
Just to check on some questions aroused from the read: Suicide by Sugar.
•IB Study Guides: Chemistry for the IB Diploma / IB Study Guides: Physics for the IB Diploma
Simply picked them up to recall some of my memory to the knowledge I once had.
•愛上鋼珠筆可愛彩繪
Pretty cute and cheerful design.
•ラクガキ・マスター
Stunning! Master of illustration and creativity! But again, it takes practice.

This has been a very hard-working month. Well done to me.

二月月結

<< Completed >>

•The Cartoon Introduction to Economics – Volume One: MICROECONOMICS (9.5)
This is by far the best book on economics that I’ve read, and I’ll reread it for sure. Ever since I finished this book I’ve been checking from time to time on whether Volume Two would come out but it just doesn’t.
•A Beginner’s Guide to the World Economy (6.5)
The beginning one third of the book was nice, quite insightful. What’s followed, was however mere informative and boring that I felt like giving it up from time to time.

<< In Progress >>

•Superfreakonomics
It doesn’t interest me as much as the first book did.
•Economics – A Self-teaching Guide
It really is a textbook and I just finished reading the first chapter. This chapter however, is so well written and informative that I gained much knowledge on the American economy history.
•3ds Max & VRay
A very useful and practical sample book.
•3ds MAX 2010建模實務事典書
It’d be nice if it includes more about the lighting effects creation but it passes as a beginner’s guide.
•3ds MAX 2011自學の王道
This is more of an intermediate guide to the software and it was more helpful than the former.

•原是物語
原復生的作品大概早已絕版了,卻被我在中環某樓上舊書店找到了。喜悅,喜悅。
•A Beginner’s Guide to the World Economy
Was about to give this book up…

月頭比賽後從道場絕跡一個月,只在家裡練習卻沒有看書,這個月我到底都幹了些什麼?

•Liar's Poker
Interesting, yet remains a very difficult read to me, I’m
determined to finish this but I wonder when.

一星期練習六、七天,狀態好極了。書,自然也少讀了...

This is it

If whom who were in front of me are eligible, what makes me
not. Never thought this would ever happen. But it just did. Times n
times I asked myself what have I done. But it's no more than a very
very simple thought of wanting to make improvements, and I have
zero regret for it. Ya. This is it.

Pains, and then.

Pains me.


But clearly not as much.


Like the first stain on your nice new shirt, immediately, you scream, you wash, you rub, you regret and you grief. Then comes the second, and the third. You reacted the same, but at a slower pace and to a smaller extent.

Later there comes another one, but you'd not know whether it's the forth or the fifth as you'd not be counting, because, you just don't care.

Somewhat the same as the first scratch on your cellphone or camera. And too, for your dear closed ones.



Shall I feel no pain, I'll be standing free before you. Though the despicable will dare not to look.

•踮腳張望1 (9)
很出色的繪本。這種故事其實非常吸引我。

•Food Rules - An Eater's Manual
A lively and engrossing compendium of invaluable food wisdom
•Portfolio Construction, Management, & Protection
Text book for the e-learning course. It'd be helpful if the maths could be explained with more steps in calculations.
•Guide to Economic Indicators
Simply a reference, I don't think I'll ever finish this.

花太多時間練習,根本沒時間看書呢...
