I lost a few loved ones recently and over the past few years. I haven't said anything to them. Just held their hands because most of them were in coma.

I enjoy making money online though to me, it's my side hustle. But it helps to pay some of my bills, and I enjoy interacting with fellow members on forums.

I love a lot of animals. I love cat, rabbit, koala, panda and I also enjoy bird watching. But I am a bit scared of dogs because I was bitten by a dog when I was a kid. I've overcome the fear now and I also love dogs which are cute.

There are many traditional Chinese foods. To name a few, we have roast goose, snake soup, BBQ pork, shrimp dumplings, mooncakes (mainly a cake with sweetened lotus seeds paste).

I am not a superstitious person. But sometimes, I do some traditional Chinese activities especially during Chinese New Year. They are supposed to bring good luck. So, no harm doing that.

My close friends are female. We've known each other since we were at high school. We went to the university together. We share happy moments and support each other in bad times.

If I could go back in time, I think I would take a job offer which requires a lot of travelling. At that time, I hesitated to do so because I wanted to continue with my study for a master's degree.

I am doing pretty well in July. I have achieved my earnings goal and got two new clients for my business consulting service. I will continue to work hard.

No one is perfect. I think sometimes I trust people too easily. Although I have not been betrayed but I feel disappointed if someone I trust did something I disapprove ethically.

I think it is normal that we feel like a loser at times. I sometimes feel like a loser when I did not get achieve my monthly earning goal.

I always have canned foods at home because they can be stored for a long time. This is a backup in case I don't feel like cooking or when there's a typhoon or a lockdown that I cannot go out. Do you buy canned food?

I think reading more and practicing will help. Review your work and find out the mistakes you've made. If you do it regularly, I'm sure you can write more effectively.

I will simply stay away from such kind of persons. They are not reliable at all. My time is precious. No need to waste time dealing with them.

Indeed, time is gold, actually, even more precious than gold. Therefore, we have to spend time wisely. Other than work, we should spend time doing things we enjoy and participate in meaningful activities.

Same here. I would also like to know how the world comes into existence. And, are there any living things in the universe other than human beings and animals on earth.

My Dad passed away when I was 11. I remember our family went to the hospital to say final goodbye to him. After so many years, I still remember his last breath.

I prefer Croffle because I love croissant and waffle. I think it must be delicious. But I think it's not available for sale in my city.

I do not really understand what herbal root is. I do take Chinese herbal supplements recommended by Chinese medical practitioners. I also take one multivitamin daily.

That depends on the agreement of the couple. If both parties work to earn money, I see no problem sharing bills. If the woman stays at home taking care of the family, the man should support the family financially.

I do regular health checkup once every two years. Just to make sure everything is okay. I usually go to the clinic to do the checkup. Going to hospital is expensive.

I have not encountered any stalkers in my social media accounts. If I do, I think I'll simply ignore him/her. If s(he) really gets annoying, I will block him/her.

One of my friends is a very organized person. She put everything in place at her home. Other than that, she is also good at organizing events.

I seldom make promises. If I do, I'll honor them. I cannot recall I have broken any promises. But I guess if I broke a promise, I would feel very guilty.

That depends on whether I still have some single siblings who live with them. If they are alone by themselves, I will live with them after I get married so that I can take care of them.

I offer translation services. I do not charge on an hourly basis. I charge per word. Currently, I am charging $0.30 per word. If it's a big project, I may negotiate the price with client.

That depends on the product I buy. For groceries, I do compare prices. For skin care products, I stick to a few brands because I have very sensitive skin. I only trust the products of a few brands.

Yes, we should just buy what we need. Before we make the purchase, check if it is really necessary. Don't be tempted by the good offer.

Most people in my city live in a small apartment. There is no space to store rain water. And we do not know how to collect and use the rain water.

I am not married. Couples here usually move out and live in their own apartment when they get married. If they can afford, they hire a maid to take care of their parents. Some do live with their parents and have them look after the kids.

I usually have banana in the morning or early afternoon as my digestive system is not very good. I love banana. It offers many health benefits.

We mainly use gas for cooking. But at times, I may use an electric induction cooker to cook some foods. It is very convenient to use.

I have worked and lived in Canada. If given the opportunity, I would like to go to Switzerland and lived there for some time. I've visited Switzerland once. It's a very beautiful country.

One time, I was on a business trip to China. It was a busy day. At the end of the day, I was so exhausted that I slept all the way while taking the bus back to my city.

The weather here is unstable. Raining and thunderstorm in the morning, sunny and very hot in the afternoon. This is typical weather in summer here.

Yes, we may get inspirations from people around us in our daily lives. When I do volunteer work, I am very impressed by the kindness of some people. They whole heartedly help those in need.

Yes, I am doing what you mentioned. I have gatherings with friends once in a while. I have joined some online communities and make some online friends. I visit elderly homes once a quarter. Bring them some small gifts or sing some old songs for them to enjoy.

Indeed, the past cannot be forgotten, edited or erased. Do not live in regrets or pain. Live in the moment and you will have peace of mind.

I am just earning peanuts online. I just complete surveys and post on two forums. Definitely not enough to make a living. My main source of income is doing translation offline.

I love chicken. I enjoy eating every part of the chicken, including chicken wings, chicken breasts, drumsticks, and even chicken feet. Chicken feet is also a popular dim sum here.

I usually do some household chores during the weekend. Other than that, I have Chinese dim sum lunch with family members and sometimes meet with friends.

Russia is the invader. They initiated the war and killed many civilians. Ukraine is just defending. In any case, I hope the war will end soon.

I prefer walking. It's relaxing and it's also a kind of exercise. I take a 30-45 min walk along the riverside near my place every morning.

Autum is my favorite season. It's cool and dry. Not too hot and not too cold. I dislike summer because it's very hot and humid. And it's typhoon season. Winter is a bit too cold though there is no snow here.

I see a day as a good one when I open my email account, there's a lot of translation work for me to do. I also enjoy the day when I have gathering with my close friends.

I have a few favorite cars. They are Audi, Mercedez Benz and BMW. Recently, my brother bought a BMW electric car. He drove me around. It is very quiet and powerful. The interior is very spacious and comfortable.

I am a cat lover. I used to be very scared of dogs because when I was a kid, I was bitten by a dog. Now, I've overcome this fear. I also love dogs which are cute. But I still love cats more.

For me, it's watermelon. But they are available here in summer only. I also love cherries. They are very tasty, but I just buy them occasionally because they are expensive.

I do not wear any perfume as I have perfume sensitivity. Actually, all my skin care products must be fragrance free. Otherwise, I will have skin rash.

I do not have any particular worry at the moment. But life is full of uncertainty. You never know what will happen tomorrow. I do not worry about that. I just live in the moment.

I think French fries paired with ketchup is the best. Another alternative is mayo. But I prefer ketchup more. Actually, I love tomatoes. I love to drink tomato juice and have cherry tomatoes in salads.

If I am in a situation where I am neglected, I will walk out. There's no point staying there torturing yourself. Love yourself and do something you enjoy.

I always apologize when I have made a mistake or hurt someone. Other than apologizing, I would also think of ways to correct the mistake and make it right.

For clothes, I like wearing black clothes. Tops or pants. It's easy to match with any colors. Other than clothes, I love flowers in red, yellow, pink and purple.

If I can afford, I will buy an iPhone and iPad. They are great products. I like the user interface and the camera function of iPhone.

I am a freelancer and I always receive orders via email. I prepare a to-do list every day to make sure that I have not missed out any assignments.

I am not that interested in buying branded clothing. But for skin care products, I check the brands. I only buy products of trusted and reputable brands.

I have several favorite local dishes. Steamed fish, steamed chicken with ginger and green onions, scrambled eggs with shrimps, and Chinese sweet soups such as red bean soup, almond soup and walnut soup.

True happiness to me is having peace of mind. Being healthy, financially independent, and have supporting family members and good friends are happiness to me.

I have a sweet tooth and I love to eat sweet food. Cakes, ice cream, Chinese sweet soups are my favorites. I am trying to eat less sweet food to prevent getting diabetes.

Trees are good for our environment. The government should grow trees in suitable locations. That said, there are some "sick" trees which should be cut down. If they fall, they may hurt people. In my city, there are incidents that people died from being hit by a falling tree.

I collect stamps. I have several stamp albums. I have stamps of the 19th century issued in China. I am still collecting stamps now. I buy special edition stamps issued by HK Post Office.

To handle irresponsible worker, the company should issue serious warning and let him/her know the consequences. If there is no improvement, his/her employment should be terminated.

Sometimes, hair loss can be genetic. Some people have hair loss problem at a very young age. In any case, try to use shampoo which claims to prevent hair loss. If that doesn't help, consult a doctor.

I do not really have any skills to save money. I just buy what I need. Look for good deals such as buy one get one free. I do dine out once in a while because I love to meet with my friends.

I have a schedule for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I usually have breakfast at around 8 am. Lunch at 1 pm and dinner at 7 pm unless I have something urgent to do. Then the dinner will be delayed a bit.

I love Japanese foods, especially sushi and sashimi. I drink Japanese wine Sake when I have them. I also like grilled eel rice and tempura shrimps, eggplants. They are delicious. Does the place where you live have Japanese restaurants?

Yes, time flies. We get old before we know it. Life is full of uncertainties. So, I agree that we should live in the moment.

When I feel stressed out, I will go out for a walk, play musical instrument or listen to my favorite music. If I get no respect, I will feel bad for a short while and then I will move on.

No, I do not always have the freedom and time to do what I want. When you are working to make money, your priority is to get the job done. You cannot just go out, have a drink or watch a movie if you still have some outstanding work.

I do not see the reason why people cannot complain. If they encountered poor service at a restaurant or shop, they have the right to complain.

I was a member of the school choir. One year, we were invited by Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra to perform in a reputable mall during Christmas time, singing Christmas carols. That was an unforgettable experience.

I will share with my friends if I find a good restaurant offering delicious foods. I will also let them know if I find a good deal at a shop.

When I was working full time, I attended a lot of workshops which were job related. They could be about the skills of public speaking; how to lead a team etc. I've learned a lot from these workshops.

If they are my friends and they think that what I wear is not suitable for an occasion, I may listen to their advice and change my clothes.

I love to hear the stories from experienced people. Can learn a lot from them. I also enjoy sharing experience with others. We can learn from each other.

I think contentment is the key to happiness. That does not mean that you have no desires. But someone who is always dissatisfied with what s(he) has will not live happily.

I have never thought of dating someone I know online. I only date someone whom I met face to face and have interaction with him.

I feel relaxed when I listen to my favorite music, play musical instruments. Reading, watching a good movie or go out for a walk also helps me to relax.

For someone with mental illness, it's better for him/her to go to see a doctor. Drugs paired with counselling helps. There are other alternatives such as music therapy may also help.

When my family member or close friend get sick and hospitalized, I feel worried. I do not have peace of mind until s(he) is recovered.

The challenge I am facing is to grow my business consulting service for SMEs which I started about a year ago. I have been working as a freelancer offering translation service for many years.

Hong Kong is a compact city with tall buildings everywhere. In my opinion, we do not have enough green areas. We just have a few parks. If we go to outlying islands, there are more green areas.

Yes, I believe in soulmates, but I currently do not have one. Soulmates are not easy to find. But I think that is all about destiny.

I mainly communicate with my online friends via WhatsApp or Telegram. Sometimes, we also have video calls when we want to talk and see each other.

Tuition fee is the fee charged by the school or university for their teaching. For high schools, it is usually paid on a monthly basis. For university, it is paid on an annual basis.

Eating fritters with tea is not common in my city. We enjoy having Chinese dim sum with tea. Dim sums are small-plate Chinese foods, usually meat or vegetables in dough or a wrapper that is steamed, deep-fried or pan-fried.

That's very generous of your government. We only get 9 years of free education. Then we have to pay for tuition fee. For those who cannot afford to pay the fee, they can apply for subsidy from the school. If you go to university, you may apply for government's interest free loan.

I am on Facebook and Twitter. I checkout the posts of some of the KOLs. I love to read their comments. I also use WhatsApp and Telegram to communicate with my friends.

That depends on the post. In think on average, it takes me about 2-3 minutes to respond to a post. I can make short and long posts.

Most people in my city prefer Japanese and Korean brands of instant noodles. I prefer Japanese brands. But Maggie noodles is also well known here.

I love to travel, and I used to collect the currency notes of different countries. Now, I am still keeping currency notes of different countries in a box. But I do not collect coins.

I do feel irritated when the weather is too hot because I sweat a lot. And I do not like the high humidity. I prefer cool and dry weather.

No, I am not quick at chopping veggies. I am always careful when doing that. I'm afraid I may cut my fingers. A good knife helps.

I am a freelancer, but mainly work offline. I usually start my translation work after lunch at around 1:30pm. I take a 30-min nap in the afternoon. I work until 7:00 pm and have dinner. After dinner, I work online (mainly do surveys and post on forums) until 9-10pm.

There are various ways to help us understand the world better. Experience, travelling, reading, watching international news. All these can help us to understand the world better.

Content is a state of mind. Some people with poor health can also be contented. They may be contented with having supportive family members and friends.
