Cumulative Game

Out of thin air this noun "flash forward" in my mind after reading an article a few days ago, a cumulative game means that there exist lots of round in a game which consequences is accumulated and bring forward to the next game, so every player starts in a different situation. The winner of the previous round will keep abusing the advantage of previous round, and keep utilize it to win this round. In Hong Kong terms, we already know that in a similar way named 屈機, which achieve the same aim in a slight different way.

I wish I can read this article earlier, then I can understand the broader impact of one's decision.
then at least I can do smarter decision, or at least think twice before doing "not so smart" moves.
I wish I can study language better,
I hope I can take care more about my health and my feeling,
I fancy I can pick up a sports/ hobby and master it...
These can change the whole game, place me in a better position and have a favorable outcome.

But, I still hold the believe of the end of darkness is sunniness (Otherwise there will not be a nickname of DarkSunny) . That's why even you are putting the first half of your life in a damn worse condition, you can still make it shines like a star (though the way will be longer). A long long way to go, still I am happy I am walking to it, slowly, slowly.. but reachable.. the law of large number is my friend, so never give up, keep trying!!

Actually..... I am quite happy with my current situation, out of my randomness gut-feeling choices :D Yeah... I am a typical Gemini, not in the extrovert way, but in the double,tripple or even poly face way.

Alternative Library

Haven't read dfdfReader'sDigest for ages since I left Hong Kong.
But I enjoy reading it because every time you read it, you feed your brain with some new ideas.
Like this one mentioned in its article : Footpath Library (http://www.footpathlibrary.org/about.html), which is opened in Sydney.

This "library" ,doesn't like others in a building, is set up on a street. People can freely borrow the book at the library at every Tuesday night. So that the homeless people can find some meaningful way to spend their time, and have a place to mingle with others people.

I recall a similar act in a foreign country. When people finish reading a book, they write their name on the first page of the book, then just left it on the public transport(bus, train, ferry etc..) . The books will then wait other passengers to "adopt" it , and write their name on it.
The whole idea is also written on the first few pages, so people can easily grab this idea and pass it on when they finish. There is even a website to let you trace the book that you left on train! (But as usual, I forget it )

Lots of ways to treat the old books/magazines, but I wonder how many of these methods really work in Hong Kong? People gonna re-sell that for profit, or the police will charge the people with "road blocking" or "Littering" and I doubt how many HK people will really read a book when they have time except PSP, NDS, Facebook or Online game (myself included lol) ......

By the way, anyone interested in reading my piles of TIMES and FORBES with 50cm tall??
Brand new (in plastic bags) , issued around Sep 2009.
