Apple Watch music playlist- make use to it in the office.

I have told my audience that I keep make use of office for my life. Except this blog, I keep learning, reading new stuff while office time. My work is really repetitive 重覆的, boring tedious 冗長乏味的, I hope there are some change before my retirement.

Apple Watch allows you save music internally on the watch. Since apple watch cannot play music by its own although
it has speaker, so it will not sputter 噴灑the sound accidentally and get your card from your boss

(Definition of get one’s card. British. : to be told that you no longer have a job : be laid off Thousands of factory workers have been given their cards in recent months.)

( Remark: Life has so many procrastination 遲疑and u can’t live twice)

Don’t make a description “ Lonewolf “ to your foreigner friends.

You never imagine that it is actually offensive

# culture difference

I used to play video war-like shooting game, I tend to pick my role-play as a lone wolf which I really like. But I never thought that is a negative term in English when you describe person.

Once I joined a language exchange event (English exchange with Cantonese) hosting by a group from Meetup apps. That day I was arranged to chat with an energised young ABC who like to travel a lot. He talked enthusiastically about his traveling of North Korea, how he made fun with staff of museum, pretend himself innocence to ask sarcastic questions to made hard time to guides. We had good chat whole time.

Until almost end of the event, we were wrapping some conclusions, I made a real innocence and ignorance 無知 離地 of English comment on this guy. I said: “You are a lone-wolf”. After he heard that, he reacted with this, and said: “ Wow, it is not a compliment 讚美.” I asked dubiously 懷疑地 : “Why? I like to become a lone wolf when I am playing video” Then he started to explain to me that native english people use it as non -cooperative , might describe colleague who doesn’t like hanging with others , and someone who like to keep to themselves.

Learning English still long way to go. hope I can keep improving everyday

see ya

“ went into administration “ – 被接管

Topic phrase seems like you know the meaning, but actually you are not.

Last night my sis whatsapp me above a news regarding Jamie Oliver’s in UK, asking me whether I know the exact meaning of it

Here I found on the internet:

What does going into Administration mean?

Going into administration effectively means your company is being taken under the management of an administrator – who must be a licensed insolvency practitioner (IP). Once a company enters administration, it is given protection from creditors who may be threatening to begin legal action to recover outstanding debts. This legal stay is known as a ‘moratorium’ and can be hugely beneficial to those businesses who need time to put together a restructuring plan.

finished quote

But still wanted know how to say it in cantonese commonly and correctly.

Finally I got the answer from TVB bcz it was just podcast news just right after our chat.

It said – 被接管

“ went into administration “ – 被接管
