Halfway through 2021.. (a pretty lengthy post)

It's a time to remind me to relook at my goals and focus again😌 This would mean there will be some changes in my social media content and choosing what is good for me. Focusing on my work, trying to stabilize it and setting out the new plans.

Now when it comes to my kids... at every stage of their life, I'm always learning how to handle them and making changes to how we can all improve. Recently, I have adopted a reward point system, which I was against it previously. WHY?🤔 Because I did not feel the need to reward something which I feel that it's their responsibility or duty?

Sometimes, we do need to take a step back and try if it works WHEN ALL ELSE FAIL 🤣. Like I always tell my kid, "If you never try, you will never know."

So I started the rewards system. Initially, I used an app (@wearesmoresup) that was shared in my IGS, but I encountered a problem. I did not allow my kids to use gadgets, so the app became pointless even though I really love it and how I wish they have web version too.

Anyway, back to rewards, so I set the rules even on basic stuff, so they can feel that goals are easily achievable which in turns helps to motivate them on tougher work.

Steps on making rewards work
1. Give each other a time of adaptation (磨合期), like a week. So you will know what to adjust and the kids know how the system works.
2. Points are rewarded when they do it automatically. Once you have to remind them, they will not be rewarded any points.
3. Be fair. Especially if u have more than 1 child, both tasks and consequences are to set the same, unless the age gap are too big.
4. Encourage them to help remind each other on the task they need to do.
5. Pin it up at the living room or place where they spent most of their time.
6. Give simple rewards, like extra TV time, play time, outdoor activity instead of toys all the way.

I set their rewards according to the points. So whenever they hit the points, they can redeem it. So example:

Extra play time 20 points
Superpark 150 points
Science Centre 50 points

so if they have 200 points, they can choose to redeem any of the rewards above.

Ok, that's about the rewards. Here comes the schedule.

All along, I did the schedule just for myself and one to put outside. But this time round, I made a slight change, I do for the girls too. So each one of them have their own schedule chart. They will have to follow the schedule that is given to them.

It's just less than 5 days of trying how this whole thing works, but so far I have seen slight improvement especially on Xin He. No more screaming at her to wake up in the morning. That's is very important, because we all want to start our day nice. 🤭

When I shared about the rewards and schedule in my IGs, many people has requested for my template, so I have put up the template here lnk.bio/missyqiqi. Feel free to download and use it. Hope it helps, and welcome any suggestions or ideas 💡 that we can all improve together!

【國立臺灣大學109學年度畢業典禮 致詞代表 資訊工程學系韓哈斯】
Student Address, National Taiwan University Commencement 2021
International student Seth Austin Harding from Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering

.
校長、教授、以及在螢幕前的各位同學，大家好。非常感謝臺大給我這個機會。我是韓哈斯，來自美國華盛頓特區。我會以自身的真實經驗出發，來跟大家分享臺大帶給我的收穫。

我當初為什麼選擇來台灣求學呢？我小時候非常喜歡看武打片，然後我十歲的時候去看了一部電影叫做「功夫熊貓」。這部電影成為了我最喜歡的電影，主角「阿波」的故事跟我的故事很像。我看完了之後就決定要開始學功夫，所以去了「美國武術學院」。那個時候我每天都聽旁邊的人講中文，到了高中我就決定開始學中文。當時我遇到了一位貴人，她是從台北到美國來教書的中文老師，她教的課是我當時最喜歡的課，我每天去她的教室跟好朋友練習。到了高中畢業時，我是全高中中文最好的非母語人士。同時，我第二喜歡的課程是電腦科學，那時候我是程式能力數一數二的學生。後來在成功錄取夢寐以求的學校：臺灣大學之後，我感到雀躍不已，因為我既可以繼續學習中文，也可以持續在世界頂尖的學府中，往電腦科學的方向精進自我。

不過老實說，當我回顧大一的時期，我也曾迷失自我。雖然我修了很多很多的中文課，但是我那時只聽得懂大概一半的課程內容。跟大家對美國人的印象不同，我其實很害羞，也很害怕舉手提問，我甚至不太敢參與社交，所以當時朋友也很少。我開始想家，也變得有一點憂鬱。那時籃球是我唯一的紓壓方式。

但更不幸的是，我在打籃球時弄傷了我的前十字韌帶，做了兩次手術，需要一年半才能恢復。許多的負面情緒壓得我喘不過氣。我被困在人生的低谷，不知如何是好。我覺得我的中文不夠好，我也被診斷出失眠跟ADHD，另外，美國高中的數學太簡單了，來這邊不夠用。種種壓力讓我足不出戶，找不到自己的人生方向。後來，我向臺大心輔中心以及我的心理醫師尋求協助，然後我也開始跟系上有更多互動。有一位教授叫徐宏民跟我說，"Never give up"，雖然那時候我覺得這句話太過於簡化了我的問題，不過，在我仔細思考了一個禮拜之後，我下定決心，發誓不讓自己被這些事擊敗。我決定要克盡全力，認真做好每件事。這是我人生的轉捩點，我開始變得異常自律。當時廖世偉教授和洪士灝系主任帶我進入它們的研究室鑽研學術。這重燃了我對資訊工程的熱忱，提醒了我當初會愛上這個領域的原因。我開始研究人工智慧以及區塊鏈，也開始跟其他系上同學交朋友，一起成立臺大人工智慧應用社NTUAI。NTUAI現在是校內頗具規模的技術研究社團，致力於推廣人工智慧給任何對該領域有熱忱的學生。歡迎加入NTUAI，可以掃描我們的QR CODE。

最近，由於疫情的緣故，我已經一年半沒回美國了。但是沒關係，因為我已經找到了我第二個家。我很愛臺大，以及台灣的人事物。雖然我經歷了人生的低潮，但這裡的一切總是給我滿滿的祝福與協助。最後，我想送給大家「功夫熊貓」裡的一句台詞： "You just need to believe"。只要用樂觀的態度去面對困難，就有能力改變自己，甚至改變身旁所愛的人。就像阿波的父親說的，"心誠則靈，只要你相信，點石就能成金。根本沒有什麼秘笈。只有你。"謝謝大家。

==============================

.
President, professors, and classmates, I'm very honored to be here. Thank you to NTU for giving me this opportunity. My name's Seth Austin Harding, and I'm from the D.C. metropolitan area. I'm going to tell a real story that's personal but that's relatable and what I see as the real me.

What motivated and guided me to take my undergraduate studies in Taiwan? When I was very young, I really loved watching kung fu movies, and when I was 10 years old, I went to the theater to watch "Kung Fu Panda". This became my favorite movie as I felt like the story of the main character Po was one to which I could very much relate. After watching this movie, I decided that I wanted to start learning kung fu, so I went to the United States Wushu Academy. At the time, I began hearing Mandarin on a daily basis, so when I was in high school, I decided to begin formally studying Chinese. It ended up being my Chinese teacher from Taipei who was my favorite teacher who taught my favorite class, so I decided I'd hang out in the Chinese classroom every day and practice lots. By the time graduation came around, I had attained the highest proficiency in Chinese among any non-native speaker in my school. My second favorite class was computer science, and I ended up attaining among the best coding skills in my school. After getting accepted to the school of my dreams -- National Taiwan University -- I felt honored, humbled, and excited; I could now spend time at among the world's finest universities studying Chinese and at the same time advancing my knowledge of computer science.

But when I look back at my freshman year, to be honest with you, I didn't know what I was doing. Despite having taken very many Chinese classes, when I went to the NTU lectures, I understood only about half of what the teachers were saying. Contrary to most people's impressions of an American, I was actually too shy to raise my hand, to ask questions, or to even meet with teachers after class, so I had very few friends at the time. I started to become homesick and depressed. At that time, I found that basketball was the only way I knew of relieving my stress. However, while playing basketball, I had torn my ACL and it would take two surgeries and a year and a half in time to fully recover. At this point, I felt caught between a rock and a hard place. In fact, this was the lowest point of my life, and I didn't know what to do. I felt like my Chinese wasn't good enough, I had been diagnosed with insomnia and ADHD, and I felt like the math taught in America was too simple to allow for me to keep up with my classmates. I was under immense pressure, and at this time, I lost any sense of purpose or direction. Later on, I went to seek help from NTU counseling, from my psychiatrist, and from my department. I reached out to Professor Winston Hsu from CSIE, and he told me this: "Never give up"; it was such an oversimplified way to approach such a complex series of problems, I had thought. However, I pondered these words intensely for one week, and by the end of that week, I had made a firm decision. This would NOT be another example of me giving up. I decided to go all out, to work diligently and passionately on all tasks at hand. This was the turning point of my life; I started to discipline myself to a very high degree. At this time, I met my then-to-become advisors Professor Shih-Wei Liao and Professor Shih-Hao Hung and entered their labs to begin research. Finally, the passion that I had for computer science that I had previously held in high school was kindled again, and I was finally reminded why I loved this field. I began my research life in blockchain and AI, and at the time I entered the lab, I also began creating NTUAI. NTUAI is now a large and highly successful NTU club that is dedicated to the research and public understanding of AI. Welcome one and all to join us; please scan our QR code here.

For a year and a half I haven't returned to America because of covid. But not to worry; I have found my second home, away from home. I love it here in NTU and I cherish all of the things I've had the privilege to experience in Taiwan. I've gone through the most difficult of struggles in my life here, but I've also had the most fortunate and blessed of experiences. To conclude, I'd like to quote a line from "Kung Fu Panda": "You just need to believe". As long as you are willing to adopt an optimistic attitude in facing challenges and hardships, you may become a positive force in changing the lives of those around you as well as your own life. It all depends on how you view it; just like what Po's father says, "there is no secret ingredient. It's just you." Thank you, everyone.

Biomech Benny - new handle, new purpose 🔭
-
When I first started the veggiehench handle I had 2 purposes:
1) Learn what fitness content made IG tick for business reasons 🤓
2) Show people you didn’t need to eat animals 3 meals a day to be fit, strong and healthy 💪🏽🥦
-
I by no means feel that has been completely achieved, but a handle I jokingly conceived tongue-in-cheek has brought me incredible friends in both the green & fitness communities 💚 I’ve certainly seen the impact of it within my own circles and within the Malaysian plant-based community over the past 3-4 years and there are now much more influential advocates who I feel do the job far better than I do!
-
I feel staying true to and focused on your purpose is key to staying driven & motivated, and you have to be open to that purpose evolving. Mine has shifted for a while so it’s about time I made the switch 🎚
-
@joompa our goal is to professionalise the personal training industry, and my role as an educator is an integral part of that. When RTS found me I knew it was the right match. Exercise through the lens of a mechanical engineer. I know no feelings about training (or anything really 😂), only what science says is true, and the fact that I get to move my career into teaching the research of the world’s leading biomechanics researchers is quite the honour.
-
You’ll have already noticed the shift in my content, towards providing you guys with as much simple, science-backed fitness information as possible... and calling out advantageous charlatan wankers ✊🏽💦
-
#veggiehenchapproved will live on in my stories when I find shit worth shouting out, but we’re putting the brand to sleep. Thanks for the support over the past few years, I can’t say I expected it to be how people recognised me and what they shouted when I walked into bars 😂 I hope you like what’s to come 😉
-
P.s. to the mates of mine who thought they were hilarious buying www.veggiehench.com because I’d then have to buy it from them... whoops! 🖕🏽

好高興有機會參加YouTube的CreatorSpotlight 2020！

拍咗YouTube片已經好幾年，好高興接受這個邀請，馬上投入拍攝一週，不眠不休。其實無人話過要拍啲咩驚天地泣鬼神嘅大製作，但係你哋對我都非常了解。我最叻簡單複雜化，搬石頭砸自己腳。所以我決定製作在家DIY音樂視頻！

這個視頻的概念是使用日常的香港物件重新製作許多人都知道和喜愛的俄羅斯方塊主題曲。
這首歌只用了一些日常用品來製作，例如一隻公雞碗，筷子，茶餐廳膠杯，微型玩具的士，一些玻璃珠和最常見的廣東話單詞 -「喂」(由我的朋友@麗英LaiYing親自演繹)，再加啲充滿了香港霓虹燈的視覺效果。呢啲都係我無覺好訓的原因。

在製作視頻的過程中，我討厭自己總係自討苦吃，但現在有了最終版本，我非常之滿意！結果不可能更好，我盡了最大的努力。

最後希望與你分享並希望你哋都鍾意睇。如果你哋都覺得正嘅，記住俾個like或者share :)


This year I was selected to be one of the Creators in CreatorSpotlightHK 2020 for YouTube!
Having done YouTube for many years now , I was excited to accept this invitation and dive into a sleepless week of development and creation . I mean nobody every said it has to be rocket science , but you guys know me so well by now and I don’t do well with SIMPLE or BASIC. I also wanted to give this project my best since I was so excited to be invited by YouTube, so I came up with this idea of a DIY home made music video!
The concept of this video was to use daily Hong Kong objects to re-create a Russian Tetris song that many of you know and love.
The song was made using only a few objects such as a rooster decorated bowl of rice, chopsticks , iconic local restaurant plastic cup , miniature toy version of a Hong Kong / Kowloon side red taxi, some marbles and one of the most common words “wei” performed by my friend and colleague @麗英 LaiYing and it was all seasoned with Hong Kong's neon lights visual effects. All of that was a recipe for my sleepless nights...

Half way through of making the video I hated myself for ever deciding to do this , but now having the final product , I absolutely LOVE IT! It couldn’t possibly turn out better and I did my absolute best .
Im ecstatic to finally share this with you and hope you enjoy it , if you do, make sure to support it with a like and share as this would really help me out :)

選舉像一場人生的考試，去年11月24，選舉開票前的一個禮拜，在朋友下榻的飯店，參加了一個他們的活動，寫了一封給自己的明信片，一年後，自動寄給自己，最近收到這張明信片，如圖示。

The election is just like an examination of our life. One week before last November 24, I had written a letter to myself. I feel a lot Comfortable and satisfied with What I wrote this year.

不管輸贏，莫忘初衷，要打一場自己理想中的選戰，把複雜的政治，簡單做，把簡單的事，認真做，因為簡單才會乾淨。

Whether lose or win, don’t forget what I have believed since the start initially. Thanks for you all, I definitely know I couldn’t have made it successful without your help and trust. I will stick on the ideal of politics that is to make it simple and make it clear.

改變政治，從文化開始，改變文化，從自己開始。
Innovate politics initiating from the culture, innovate the culture initiating from self reflection and practice.

以前，我相信，我做得到，從去年11/24開始，我們相信，我們做得到，我每天身體力行，公開透明，用一日市政和一日議會系列，在臉書分享，無差別的服務，即時的回報，作為對大家支持，最負責任的回報，把民意代表，當成0800 、Ubereats、和food panda 來做，用行腳、臉書和Line提供市民即時的服務，將人民的小事，當作政府的大事，讓政治可以落實到每天的生活，解決人民的問題。

I used to believe I could do it well. Since last year I have been approving that I can do it well. I constantly work on offering indifference service and Instant report to everybody I have reached. I would like to consistently and persistently work out problems of people with the policy, budget, and legislation. There is no bias to solve any problems, because solution is the only way of the game.

讓政治可以善良，讓政治可以簡單，讓政治和我們想的一樣。

Politically, I will do my best to make it simple, and make it clear.
Finally I will make all the politics as good as I can and as good as what you think.
