Things I learn from Crazy Ex Girlfriend (No Spoiler)

Just finished two seasons of Crazy Exgf. 

It talks about a smart but depressed lawyer Rebecca Bunch who moved from New York to West Covina for her teenage love, Josh Chan. She tried so so hard to let Josh be her love and at the same time created so many dramas. Rebecca always denied she had o underlying issues to address that causing so many troubles. She thought the cure of her making chaos in her life was to move away from NYC and to marry Josh but she didn’t want to face her true self.

I have a friend who came back from the overseas and she sometimes moans to me that Hong Kong is a depressing place. She said if she could escape from Hong Kong, then everything would be fine. Sometimes I got the same idea too because I know how depressing Hong Kong is: high price of everything (rent, transportation, food, clothes), small flat to live in and politics. 

I thought of Rebecca on Crazy Exgf too. We know life is shit. Thus we have to adjust our attitude of how to deal with the shit life. My secondary teacher told me that being successful is not about IQ but attitude. Just like Rebecca, yea she moved away from NYC but she (kind of) messed her life in West Covina too. I think we can’t be move forward and be happy if we stick to the unhappy past.

This is also my note to myself after moving back to Hong Kong.

Things I have learnt from La La Land

1) Fail --> Stand up --> Be patient --> Wait --> Catch the opportunity --> Until success comes. Success has to be cultivated. Success is different from speculation - You can’t instantly reach your dream but working towards it step by step.

2) The one who accompanies you along the trip might not be the one who travels with you to the destination. But you will realise that how they impact you along the long trip. The things you have learnt from them will nurture you in the future.

3) There is no ‘maybe’ in reality but a parallel world in your imagination. Each other is living well after breaking up.

Each scene of the film is carefully constructed. The vibrant colours of Emma Stone’s costumes are really impressive. Also, I was carried by the music throughout the whole film so I really enjoyed watching it.

5 Tips of Overcome Jet Lag

It’s hard to have a good sleep while traveling on the plane. So when I come back to Hong Kong, I always have jet lag.

Normally it takes a week to adjust jet lag. The symptoms of jet lag are insomnia, stress and bad memory. Also, the ability of enduring the jet lag is according to the age of the person. If the person is young, the ability of it will b higher and vice versa. 

Here are some personal tips of overcome jet lag!

1) Sleep earlier or later I always travel from the West to the East, from Manchester to Hong Kong. So, when it is morning in the UK, it comes to the evening in Hong Kong. The routine is totally disturbed, especially the sleeping time. So, I can’t sleep at night when I just come back to Hong Kong. In order to adjust the jet lag, I try to make myself as tired as possible in the daytime so I can go back earlier at night. If you are going from the East to the West, the situation is reverse which is going to bed as late as possible.

2) Make several alarms I really like to stick on my bed in the morning, especially I am still not adapt to the time zone. That’s why I always late for a date (I’m sorry, mate!). So I make several alarms that will wake me up in the interval times.  

3) Avoid some unnecessary meetings  If you are still not adapted the time zone yet, try to avoid meetings that the time you would feel tired. I know it’s not a good solution but to avoid some unhappy moments or lose a friend........

4) Sleep in the dark People are sensitive to light. It’s better to sleep in a full dark environment. So I would wear a eye mask to cover my eyes while I am sleeping in the daytime...

5) Don’t eat a feast at night Eat according to the time zone that you are actually staying. When it’s after 12 am, don’t eat a feast while it’s suppose to have a dinner in another time zone to suppress your hunger. When it’s time to bed, then go to bed. When it’s time to eat, then go to have breakfast, lunch and dinner. Your stomach has to adjust the time zone too. 

At least you relax and participate more social events, like meeting friends and go to work, it’s not hard to tune the jet lag.
