    Why is it that people have less friends as they they get older? Is it because with age, you have the wisdom to filter out the fake friends and only keep the good ones? Or is it that you get more irritating as you get older and your friends can't stand you and they leave?

    Because when we are young, most possibly we are schooling. With lesser commitments (except possibly the need to pass examinations), we have more time to make friends. When we get older, more commitments will come in - work, family, travelling, career - result in lesser time to meet up and interact.

    Random thought: Is it true that introverts tend to hide their limitations from others?

    Edit: Now I know why some contestants' clips is just singing without music. Adding music is hard. I tried for 2 hours but unable to merge.

    Reality of life? "A patient's spouse once told me that she would rather see her husband dead than help change his soiled diapers."
    Her tone suggests that this is something she has seen too often.
    "Her husband was just beside her."

    A doctor recently shared a story that while his team was busy saving a patient's life, another patient's family member nonchalantly asked them to change the Patient B's diaper.

    Team Leader A drafted a document for the big boss’ approval and it was rejected. A few days later during the departmental meeting, the big boss specially asked Team Leader B to redraft the document in front off others including Team Leader A and it was approved. Although Team Leaders A and B have the same rank, Team Leader A is more experienced by at least 20 years than Person B, however the big boss clearly considers Team Leader B as to be more competent than Team Leader A. Sometimes Person B has to brief the big boss about the progress of works under Team Leader A supervision, despite Team Leader A is present. So this situation make Team Leaders A & B not in a good term since Team Leader A being sidelined.

    That's another reality of life. There could be a lot of reasons for such behaviour:
    (a) showing who is boss
    (b) threatened by Team A capabilities
    (c) subtle indication that Team A quit

    The big boss isn't actually satisfied with Team Leader A's performance. Last year A received a severe warning and almost got fired. Before that, B has been covering A's work while A slacking off. By the way, the document B redrafted was more detailed and specific than A's.

    Now A is complaining that B is sabotaging him by making him look useless and unneeded while B is complaining about he has to do A's job.

    In the end, it depends on which come first: A be sacked or B quit.

    If a student is good in Maths, should this student take Physics or Chemistry? Which of these latter two subjects have more lab experiments?

    I did both. I personally think both are useful but I prefer Physics because the experiments were more fun. Both have a lot of lab experiments.

    He is mostly earning money in China while he still can fight. He is a cheaper option compared to other HK martial arts actors but he is still very agile and works hard. He did gain some recognition fighting against Donnie Yen in Ip Man. He is often in series with his wife, JJ. JJ has moved backto TVB. Not sure about Terry/Louis (which one is it?)

    I actually prefer chemistry over physics but I agree both had a lot of labs...

    Today we just give up with our design team. My big boss even say we're done with them and will do the designing ourselves. After all, we all engineers.
