Whoever invented going to work
[1:03.658] ji5wai4zi6gei2hou2jau5jung6
Must think themselves very useful
[1:06.997] sik6mat6lin2hai6sang1taai3hai6tung2jap6min6ge3jat1go3zung6jiu3koi3nim6
Foodchain is an important concept in ecology,
[1:10.508] miu4seot6zo2m4tung4sang1mat6zi1gaan1
it describes how different organisms
[1:12.394] sik6jyu5bei6sik6ge3gwaan1hai6
eat and gets eaten.
[1:14.625] mui5jat1go3cang4kap1dou1ji1laai6haa6jat1go3cang4kap1
Each level relies on the lower rung
[1:17.473] lai4wok6ceoi2nang4loeng6tung4jing4joeng5
to obtain their energy and nutrients.
[1:19.531] ni1go3gwo3cing4hin2si6zo2sang1taai3hai6tung2zung1nang4loeng6ge3lau4dung6
This process shows the flow of energy in the ecology
[1:24.011] tung4maai4sang1mat6zi1gaan1ge3soeng1wu6ji1cyun4gwaan1hai6
and the interdependence relationships between organisms.
[1:27.597] ji4jan4leoi6tung4kei4taa1sang1mat6jat1joeng6
And humans, like other organisms,
[1:30.033] hai2m4tung4ge3coeng4ging2
In different contexts,
[1:31.421] keoi5dei6hai2sik6mat6lin2ge3wai6zi3ho2ji5waa6hai6tin1jyun1zi1bit6
Their position on the food chain can be dramatically different.
[1:35.671] gam2hai2ni1gaan1gung1si1leoi5min6
So in this company,
[1:37.567] seng4jat6si6zi6gei2wai6sik6mat6lin2zeoi3dai2cang4ge3Jimmy
Jimmy, who views himself as the lowest rung of the foodchain,
[1:40.935] dou3dai2sau6zyu6dim2joeng2ge3doi6jyu6
what kind of treatment does he receive?
[1:43.301] keoi5jau6dim2hai2ni1tiu4gong3sin2soeng6min6jau4zau2ne1?
And how does he tread on the narrow cable?
[1:48.224] ngo5hot3mong6ze5jat1go3ping4jyun4
I wish for an open plain
[1:51.708] bat1jip6zi1hau6di1tung4hok6gin3m4jyun4
After graduation I can still meet my classmates
[1:56.088] gin3min6m4wui5gong2maai5gu2piu3maai5ce1
And when we meet, we will not talk about stocks, cars,
[1:58.889] git3fan1saang1zai2maai5lau2maai5syun4
wedding, kids, house, and boats.

Hey, did you watch the Olympics?
[2:44.641] aa3gong1man4wai6go2gim3zan1hai6jeng4dak1hou2lei6lok6
The winning strike from Jiang was so clean
[2:47.315] tai2jyun4hing1fan5dou3ngo5seng4maan5fan3m4zoek6aa3!
After watching that I was so excited and can’t sleep all night!

Ah, and discovered she won the gold.

I just rushed the proposal last week
[2:59.582] dai6jat1稿gou2bei2Lucytai2zaa3
and sent the first draft to Lucy.
[3:01.597] keoi5ging2jin4bun3je2saam1gaang1
In the middle of the night
[3:03.571] sendgo3emaillai4waa6jiu3daai6zap1𡁜wo5
she sent an email saying it needs a lot of work.
[3:06.877] aai1ze1e6gam1jat6aa3fan1fan1zung1jau6mou5dak1sau1gung1laa3
So today, I probably can’t leave work again
[3:11.440] jat1nam2dou3gam2joeng2mou5mat1sam1gei1aa3
The moment I realised that, my whole mood turned sour,
[3:14.707] sap6dim2gei2mai6soeng5cong4fan3gaau3lo1
and I went to bed around ten.
[3:17.228] waa3waa3waa3nei5wu1mei4hap1seoi6gam2ge3joeng2
Whoa whoa. You look tired and sleepy,
[3:19.489] jyun4cyun4faan2jing2m4dou2nei5cung1zuk1seoi6min4wo3
and totally doesn’t look like you had enough sleep.
[3:22.728] waa6zau6waa6sap6dim2gei2soeng6cong4𠸏ge2
In theory I went to bed at ten
[3:25.314] daan6hai6luk1haa6jau6luk1haa6
but I tossed and turned
[3:27.225] mai6jau6hai6ngaan5gwong1gwong1dou3m4zi1gei2dim2sin1hap6dak1zoek6
staring at the ceiling, and it was forever before I managed to sleep.
[3:30.764] waang4dim6fan3m4zoek6
If you couldn’t sleep anyway
[3:31.987] zou2zi1tai2maai4gong1man4wai6go2gim3aa1maa3!
You should have watched Jiang’s sword strike!
[3:34.869] kyut3coi3bun3je6saam1dim2gei2daa2
The finals was at 3 am
[3:37.350] hou2coi2ngo5gaau3maai4naau6zung1hei2san1tai2zing1coi2!
Thankfully I set an alarm so I could get up to watch. Awesome!
[3:40.592] zou2aa3~nei5dei6cam4maan5jau5mou5tai2ou3wan6hoeng1gong2dai6jat1gam1aa3?
Goo~oood morning! Did you guys watch the first Gold for Hong Kong?
[3:44.330] mei4siu3gim3hau6zan1hai6hou2ging6aa3
The Smiling Queen was so good
[3:46.703] gang2hai6jau5laa1ngo5tai2jin6coeng4zik6bo3
Of course! I was watching it live
[3:49.056] zik6tau4teng1dou3gaak3lei4seng4gaan1uk1jat1cai4giu3aa3!
and heard my neighbours screaming too!
[3:51.716] ngo5zau6tai2dou3hou2gam2dung6laak3
I was very moved.
[3:53.542] tai2faan1keoi5di1bou3dou6sin1zi1
Only after reading the reporting did I know
[3:55.366] keoi5sat1tau4go1sau6soeng1gam3jim4zung6dou1haak1fuk6dou2
she overcame such serious knee injury,
[3:58.054] zan1hai6jiu3fei1jan4ge3ngai6lik6sin1zou6dou2aa3
it must have taken super-human determination.
[4:00.433] fu2zeon6gam1loi4zung6lai6zi3gwo3di1lai6zi3pin3
“Endure the bitterness until gam1 (sweetness) arrives”, this is more inspirational than inspirational films
[4:03.649] m4zi1gan1zyu6zoeng1gaa1long5wai6min5sing4m4sing4gung1ne1?
I wonder if Cheung can successfully defend his title?
[4:06.425] aai1fu2zeon6jau6m4tung1go3go3dou1ling1dou3gam1me1

The only thing that sticks was the self-deprecating line:
[4:15.700] 「hoeng1gong2jan4OTm4wui5syu1」。
“OverTime is when Hong Kongers never miss”
[4:18.539] jan4OTngo5OTkeoi5go3gam1」,
She overtime and I overtime, her gam1
[4:21.685] zau6hai6gam1paai4go3gam1tung4wong4gam1go3gam1aa3
is the gam1 of Gold 金 like the gold medal and gold the precious metal
[4:25.061] ngo5ge3OTne1
And my reward for overtime
[4:26.471] zau6hai6bei2jan4caan2dou3gam1go3gam1lo1
is gam1 甘 disastrous like the scolding I get.

Eh, maybe today Fortune Shines on you,

Look look look. Don’t delude yourself.
[4:41.849] ngaam1ngaam1Lucyjau6send emaillai4
Lucy just sent another email
[4:44.083] waa6gam1jat6saam1dim2jiu3hoi1wui2laa3
saying that there is a meeting at 3 pm.
[4:47.008] ni1go3si4gaan3hoi1wui2jau6zan1hai6jau5di1gaam3gaai3𠸏ge2
Meeting at that time is really inconvenient.
[4:50.397] Lucyceot1meng2m4dang2dak1
Lucy has a reputation for being not very patient,
[4:52.229] jiu3nei5gam1jat6goi2hei2maai4keoi5nei5dou1zau2m4lat1gaa3laa3
If she wants the edit made today, I think you’ll have no choice.
[4:55.403] waa3zing6hai6waa6m4dang2dak1」,
Heh, “not very patient”,
[4:57.414] Anniegam3hau5dou6aa3?
Annie, you are sooo kind.
[4:59.970] deoi3m4zyu6Jimmydou1jiu3gong2geoi3laak3
Sorry Jimmy, but I just have to say,

I didn’t have to work for her on this project, I should really go make offerings to the gods.
[5:05.975] keoi5go3meng2goi2dak1hou2
Her name is just right:
[5:07.277] Lucy Lucyloek6sik6loek6sik6
Lucy, Lucy, loek6-sik6 (predator) loek6-sik6.
[5:10.386] ai1jaa3nei5bei2di1gin3cit3sing3laa1
Gosh, c’mon, be constructive,
[5:12.649] gaau2dou3keoi5zung6mou5sam1gei1laa3ji4gaa1
You’re just making Jimmy feel more despondent.
[5:14.552] naa4Jimmygam1jat6jat1cai4sik6go3faai3faan6laa3aan3zau3
So Jimmy, let’s eat a quick lunch today,

A full belly gives you energy to do stuff!
[5:19.700] tai2haa5di1je5gan1seng4dim2sin1laa1
Let’s see how it works…

Can’t talk now, if I don’t finish this,
[5:24.729] zau6lin4sik6mat6lin2zeoi3dai1cang4aa3ngo5dou1mou5dak1zou6aa3

(mumbles to himself) This is gonna be bad
[5:45.757] tai2zo2dai6jat1稿gou2sing4ciu4
I was looking over the first draft all morning,
[5:47.314] waak6dou3wu1li1maa5caa4gam2joeng2
She scratched a mess on the draft,
[5:49.454] ngo5dou1tai2m4ming4gau3ging2keoi5se2gan2di1mat1je5je5
I don’t even know what she was writing
[5:52.102] jiu3ngo5goi2di1mat1je5je5
And what she want me to fix.
[5:53.500] soeng6ci3ji5ging1hou2jyun2zyun2gam2
Last time I tactfully
[5:54.944] ceng2keoi5hai2zak1bin1gaa1go3commentgaak3zai2daa2zi6
Asked her to type the comment in the margin
[5:57.838] m4hou2zoi3se2hai2noi6man4gaa3laa1
Instead of scribbling in the text.
[5:59.803] keoi5zau6zik1hak1waa6keoi5zou6jan4ne1hou2jau5kwai1geoi2
She repudiated me right then, that she is a very disciplined person,
[6:03.498] cung1jyun4loeng4zau6m4wui5jung6din6nou5
After shower she does not use the computer,
[6:06.024] gai3zuk6zou6je5zau6jung6ping4baan2
and if she continues to work, she uses a tablet.
[6:08.285] jung6ping4baan2zau6gang2hai6jung6bat1se2faai3gwo3daa2zi6laa1
Writing is of course faster than typing when using a tablet,
[6:11.519] gam2sin1syun3jau5haau6leot2giu3ngo5hok6haa6keoi5𡁜wo5
So this is efficiency and I should learn to be like her.
[6:14.822] aai1hok6keoi5go2di1gu2gwaai3kwai1geoi2
(sighs) Learn to follow her many strange rules,
[6:17.685] ding6hai6hok6keoi5廿jaa6sei3cat1faan1gung1aa3?
or learn to work 24/7 like her?
[6:20.282] daan6hai6ngo5cyun4bou6dou1m4soeng2hok6lo1
But I don’t want to learn any of those!
[6:23.063] jan1wai6keoi5go3haau6leot2aa3
Her efficiency
[6:24.549] ling6dou3ngo5hou2mou2haau6leot2aa3
made me inefficient…
[6:28.579] …Jimmy Jimmy Jimmyngo5giu3zo2nei5saam1ci3laa3!
…Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy, I called you for the third time!
[6:33.134] nei5gam3m4zyun1sam1go3joeng6jau6gam3ngaan5fan3
You are so lacking in focus, and look so tired,
[6:35.907] m4hai6hou2ci5di1jan4gam2
Don’t tell me that you’re one of those people
[6:37.699] bun3je2hei2san1tai2ou3wan6aa6maa5?
who gets up to watch the Olympics in the middle of the night.
[6:39.832] jyu4gwo2nei5m4使sai2fan3gam3do1ge3
If you don’t need to sleep
[6:41.331] bat1jyu4jung6maai4di1si4gaan3
Then you should use the time
[6:42.328] lai4se2hou2go3proposallaa1
to write a better proposal.
[6:43.865] waa6zau6waa6hai6co1稿gou2
Yes, it’s called a “first draft”,
[6:45.605] daan6hai6dou1m4hai6gaau1di1gam2ge3zat1sou3bei2ngo5aa6maa5?
But you still shouldn’t submit something of this quality, no?
[6:48.583] aai1Lucym4hou2ji3si1aa2
Eh, sorry Lucy,
[6:50.580] ngo5cam4maan5ne1sap6dim2zung1sin1fan3dak1zoek6
Last night, err, I went to sleep at 10 pm,
[6:53.151] bat1gwo3ne1zau6fan3dak1m4hai6gam3hou2ge3
But I didn’t sleep very well.
[6:55.431] aa3gong2faan1go3proposalsin1
Let’s come back to the proposal,
[6:57.199] ngo5ngaam1ngaam1sendzo2dai6ji6稿gou2bei2nei5
I just sent you the second draft,
[6:58.970] bat1gwo3ne1jau5gei2go3wai2
but, there’s a few points,
[7:00.153] ngo5m4hai6hou2ming4baak6nei5se2ge3comment
I didn't understand the comment you wrote.
[7:02.283] lai6jyu4ni1dou6ne1
For example, here,
[7:03.234] hung4sik1saam1gok3jing4gaa1maai4sld
The red triangle with letters “sld”
[7:05.956] ni1saam1go3jing1man2zi6mou5hai6di1mat1je5ji3si1aa3
What does that mean…
[7:09.163] gam1ziu1sing4ciu4gam3do1si4gaan3nei5jau6m4man6ngo5?
You had all morning to ask, and you didn’t?
[7:11.675] ngo5sing1kei4luk6maan5ji5ging1se2hou2saai3giu3nei5goi2ge3noi6jung4
On Saturday I have already wrote what I needed you to fix.
[7:14.670] gong2faan1zyun3tau4
Coming to think of it,
[7:15.647] nei5cam4jat6dou1ji5ging1ho2ji5send emailman6ngo5laa1
You could have send an email to ask me yesterday,
[7:18.484] to1dou3ji4gaa1
But you have to let it drag on until today.
[7:19.811] aa1kei4sat6nei5jau5gei2zung6si6gung1zok3
(And that makes one wonder) How much do you prioritise Work
[7:22.423] tung4maai4gung1zok3haau6leot2gaa3ne1haa2?
and Work Efficiency?
[7:24.196] ei6ngo5gam1go3weekendne1
Err, well, this weekend,
[7:26.434] zau6mou5daai3din6nou5faan1uk1kei2ge3
I didn't bring the laptop home,
[7:28.424] tung4maai4ngo5gok3dak1jung6iPadne1
and I feel that the iPad
[7:30.252] jau6mou5gam3fong1便bin6zou6dou3goi2dung6
Wasn’t so convenient for making edits.
[7:32.340] zoi3gaa1soeng5lai5baai3jat6ngo5gaan3m4zung3ne1
Plus, on Sundays, every now and then,
[7:34.507] dou1wui5heoi3gau2coeng4zou6ji6gung1
I volunteer at the dog shelter,
[7:36.034] so2ji5ngo5gam1ziu1faan1lai4sin1gan1zeon3faan1
so I only followed up on your comments this morning.
[7:38.720] Lucygam2ni1go3hung4sik1saam1gok3jing4tung4maai4
Lucy, so, this red triangle and…
[7:41.540] mai5zyu6sin1dak1ping4baan2m4hai6jat1go3zik6hau2lai4gaa3wo3
Wait. Only having a tablet available is not an excuse,
[7:44.972] ngo5dou1jung6ping4baan2zou6je5𠺝gaak3
I also do work on a tablet (and it is not an issue).
[7:46.557] nei5sing1kei4ng5je6maan5baat3dim2sendbei2ngo5go3co1稿gou2ne1
The first draft you sent me on Friday 8 pm,
[7:49.906] ngo5jung6ping4baan2goi2
I corrected it on a tablet,
[7:51.182] mai5dai6ji6jat6zau6ji5ging1sendfaan2bei2nei5lo1
and didn’t I managed to send it back to you the next day?
[7:53.158] nei5tai2aa1
You see,
[7:54.059] jyun4cyun4hai6si6fu4nei5jyun6ji3fu6ceot1gei2do1si4gaan3gaa3zaa3
it’s entirely about how much time you are willing to put in,
[7:56.865] hang2m4hang2juk1haa5go3nou5
whether you want to use your brain,
[7:58.302] nam2haa6dim2joeng2sin6jung6zi1jyun4lai4bong1nei5zi6gei2jyun4sing4gung1zok3laa1
think a little about how to use resources effectively to help finish your work.
[8:02.310] ei6ei6Lucyming4baak6ge3
Yes yes Lucy, I understand that,
[8:04.345] gam2ngo5ceot1heoi3nam2faan1zi6gei2ge3gung1zok3mou4sik1
so I will go out and reflect on how I work
[8:07.320] ho2ji5dim2goi2sin6laa1
and where I can improve.
[8:08.297] jiu3zou6dou2sing4zik1ceot1lai4ne1
If you want to have good results,
[8:09.937] zau6cin1kei4m4ho2ji5faa1do1siu2siu2si4gaan3
(2) You cannot feel that you had been taken advantaged of
[8:12.448] zau6gok3dak1zi6gei2sik6saai3dai2gam2joeng2gaa3
(1) the moment you need to spend a little more time.
[8:14.909] ngo5dou1ging1lik6gwo3nei5ni1go3gaai1dyun6
I went through the same phase as you,
[8:16.575] ngaam1ngaam1jap6zik1go2zan6aa3
when I first joined the company,
[8:18.070] ngo5caa1m4do1jat6jat6dou1zou6dou3baat3dim2
I worked until 8 pm almost every day,
[8:19.837] kei4taa1tung4si6dou1mou5ngo5gam3kan4lik6
and the other co-workers were not as hard-working.
[8:21.902] aa3hou2zi6jin4naa4lou5sai3sing1zik1
So very naturally, when it comes to promotion time,
[8:24.259] nei5waa6wui5gaan2bin1go3aa1naa4?
Who do you think the boss would pick?
[8:26.140] mai5zau6hai6ngo5lo1
Of course it’s me!
[8:27.124] nei5dei6di1hau6saang1aa3
You young people,
[8:28.316] ne1bui3seng4jat6waa6ngo5dei6ne1zau6dou3sau1sing4kei4
your generation make snide comments about us just waiting for Harvest Time…
[8:38.927] (dik6daap3sing1Jimmymong6zyu6go3miu5zung1jat1haa5jat1haa5gam2tiu3
(tik tok) Jimmy watches the second hand on the clock ticking and ticking,
[8:42.268] Lucyzau6jat1lou6gai3zuk6syut3hou2zi6gei2ge3jan4sang1gu3si6
While Lucy heaps praise on her own life story.
[8:45.862] Jimmywai4jau5jung6keoi5ge3faan1gung1gaak3jin4
Jimmy summons his work motto:
[8:48.546] 「jan4gung1baau1maai4ge3」;
“The salary paid for it”
[8:50.396] jat1lou6ceoi1min4zi6gei2jan2zyu6m4man6dai6saam1ci3
With that he hypnotises himself, and suppress the urge to ask for the third time,
[8:53.624] go3hung4sik1saam1gok3jing4fu4hou2dou3dai2hai6me1
just what does that red triangle means.
[8:56.561] keoi5jan2joek3gok3dak1sam1leoi5min6jau5di1ang2zyu6ang2zyu6
He feels that there is some thorn pricking at his heart,
[8:59.407] daan6hai6ni1jat1haak1ge3keoi5
but Jimmy, at this moment,
[9:01.497] mei6nam2dak1tung1go2go3hai6jat1go3dim2ge3gam2gok3
cannot yet understand what he is really feeling.
[9:04.552] zeoi3hau6Lucyhai2sei3dim2sei3sap6ng5fan1
At last, at 16:45, Lucy
[9:07.668] zung1jyu1hoi1ci2gaai2sik1co1稿gou2soeng6min6
finally starts to explain,
[9:09.770] m4tung4ngaan4sik1ge3jing4zong6tung4jing1man2zi6mou5dou3dai2hai6me1ji3si1
what the different colors and shapes and alphabet means,
[9:13.618] Jimmyjik6sing4gung1hai2ng5dim2zing3lei4hoi1Lucygaan1fong4
and Jimmy successfully left Lucy’s office at exactly 5 o’clock.
[9:16.989] dong1jin4suk6jyu1Jimmyge3happy hour
Of course, the happy hour that belongs to Jimmy,
[9:19.886] zau6hai6hai2officeleoi5min6
is inside the office,
[9:21.592] jat1bin1teng1zyu6jau4zi6gei2jat1sau2zai3zok3
simultaneously listening to his own creation —
[9:24.077] dik1dik1daak1daak1daa2zi6seng1ge3zit3zau3
the rhythm of fingers on the keyboard —
[9:26.402] jat1bin1hoeng2jung6go2jat6ge3dai6saam1bui1double espresso
and enjoying the third double espresso of the day.
[9:35.398] bun2lei4ngo5dou1paa3ngaai4je2
I used to fret staying up late,
[9:37.288] daan6hai6cam4maan5bun3je2zan1hai6zik6dak1ngaai4aa3!
But staying up late last night was totally worth it!
[9:39.560] zoeng1gaa1long5zan1hai6lo2dou2dai6ji6min6gam1paai4wo3!
Cheung Ka Long really won the second gold medal!

The most funny, haha,
[9:47.104] hai6keoi5ling1zoeng2zi1hau6zip3sau6fong2man6
was when he was interviewed after the ceremony,

[9:51.447] haa1!keoi5m4zi1hoeng1gong2jan4
Ha! Doesn’t he know that Hong Kongers,
[9:53.295] zeoi3zung1ji3zau6hai6faan1gung1gaa3me1?
Going to work is their favourite thing?
[9:55.102] m4使sai2giu3dou1zi6dung6bo1laa1!
It’s so automatic that they need no admonishment!
[9:57.544] 「se5cuk1ni1go3cing1fu1zan1hai6m4hai6long6dak1heoi1ming4gaa3
There’s a good reason we’re called “societal beasts of burden”.
[10:01.648] kei4sat6hoeng1gong2jan4dou1gau3kan4lik6faan1gung1gaa3laa1
actually, Hong Kongers already work hard enough at work.
[10:04.685] jau5si4aa3faan2ji4hai6di1jau2gaa1dak1taai3do1
Sometimes, there’s so much gasoline,
[10:07.268] zam3waai6zo2go3jan4aa3
All that soaking is causing damage.

You don’t need to ask, look at his face,
[10:15.023] zau6zi1keoi5hou2ci5sai3go3go2di1liu4zaai1gwai2gu2gam2
You know he’s like the Ancient Ghost Stories we used to listen to,

Where all his masculine energy had been sucked dry by the hag.
[10:23.288] aai1ni1loeng5maan5baat3dim2sin1zau2dak1aa3
Ouch, the last two evenings, I couldn’t leave until 8 pm,

[10:29.741] zeoi3caam2hai6ngo5m4hai6zing6hai6gan1keoi5go3proposal𠺢gaa1maa3

Next week I’ll have to finish the final report for the event.

(sighs) There’s no “worst”, just “worse and worse and worse”.

You’re trying so hard,

[10:45.972] faan1gung1ge3jau2ngo5zau6gok3dak1zi6gei2gaa1dak1caa1m4do1laak3
I thought I’ve added lots of gasoline for work,
[10:49.269] so2ji5ngo5dou1hou2soeng2ne1hou2ci5wan6dung6jyun4gam2
What I really want, is to be like the sportsmen,
[10:51.521] wan2dou2joeng6zi6ji5zung1ji3ge3je5ngaam1ge3fong1hoeng3
Discovering something I like, and felt right doing,
[10:54.846] gam2sau6haa5go2zung2bok3zeon6mou4fui3ge3jit6hyut3aa3
and feel the passion of doing something with no regret.
[10:57.496] zi1cin4tai2gwo3gim3gik1deoi6fong2man6ne1
I watched the fencing team interview,
[10:59.870] jap6min6jau5gong2waa6jyun4loi4jat1go3gim3gik1lin6zaap6ne1
Where they say there is a skill practice,
[11:03.048] hai6jiu3baat3go3zung1wo3
that takes 8 hours,

repeating the same movement over and over.

[11:50.052] m4wui5OTgam3noi6𠸏ge2
and won’t be doing overtime for so long.
[11:51.925] naa4dang2ngo5gaau3faan2go3naau6zung1tai4seng2zi6gei2laa1
Let’s see, let me set an alarm clock to remind myself.
[11:55.155] gam2dou1hou2coi2hei2maa5nei5ge3sang1wut6aa3
That’s good, at least then you life
[11:58.020] m4hai6zing6hai6dak1faan1gung1tung4OTaa1
isn’t just work and overtime.
[12:00.324] tai2nei5IGzou6ji6gung1di1soeng1go3joeng6gwai2gam3zing1san4
When I look at the pictures on Instagram, you look so energetic when volunteering,
[12:04.153] Jimmynei5kei4sat6dou1jau5joeng4hei3baau3dang1ge3si4hau6wo3
Jimmy, there are times when you actually have masculine energy filled to the brim!
[12:07.817] 「wai3~cat1dim2laa3wo3heoi3cou5joeng4hei3laa3!
“Hey, it’s 7 pm, time to refill your masculine energy!”
[12:10.671] ni1go3aa3Kenzung6zeon2si4gwo3go3naau6zung1
This Ken, he’s more on time than an alarm clock.
[12:13.338] do1dak1di1hou2tung4si6jat1cai4ngaai4
Thanks to my good colleagues,
[12:15.255] faan1gung1jat6zi2sin1zi3hou2gwo3di1zaa3
Days at work are tolerable.
[12:17.891] hou2laa3zap1je5zik1hak1zau2laa3
Fine, let me pack up and go.
[12:31.618] Lucywaa6jiu3ting1ziu1sap6dim2bun3cin4jiu3sau1dou2haa6jat1go3稿gou2
Lucy says she wants the next draft before tomorrow 10:30.
[12:36.034] gam1jat6zeon3dou6gei2hou2wo3
It’s been good progress today,
[12:37.415] ting1ziu1sin1zoi3goi2haa6di1zi6
Tomorrow morning I’ll change some words around,
[12:39.201] si4gaan3dou1gau3ge3
and the time should be alright.
[12:40.381] sik1gei1zau2dak1
Computer off, let’s go.
[12:43.265] Jimmynei5zou6saai3je5laa3me1?gam3zou2zau2𠸏ge2
Jimmy, are you finished with your tasks? Why so early?
[12:49.426] hai2teng1dou3Lucyhing1miu4daam6se2jau6lei5so2dong1jin4ge3ne1jat1geoi3zi1hau6
When he hears these casual yet certain words uttered by Lucy,
[12:53.413] 「paak1jat1sing1
With a loud sound,
[12:54.480] Jimmydat6jin4gok3dak1keoi5sam1leoi5min6jau5jat1tiu4sin3tyun5zo2
Jimmy feels that a chain had snapped in his heart.
[12:58.132] hai6go2jat1tiu4ling6keoi5jat1zik6wut6hai2hung2geoi6
What snapped was the chain, that made him live in terror,
[13:00.696] hou2geng1caa1co3goek3zau6mou5meng6ge3sik6mat6lin2gong3sin2
The lowest rung of the food chain upon which he had been treading precariously.
[13:04.327] jau6paak1jat1sing1hai6goek3lok6dei6ge3sing1jam1
And with another sound, this time, it’s his feet landing.
[13:07.452] gong3sin2haa6min6hak1sik1jat1pin3
When he walked on the chain, below was all darkness,
[13:09.699] keoi5seng4jat6ji5wai4dit3lok6heoi3ge3zau6sat6sei2mou5saang1
and Jimmy thought that falling means certain death.
[13:12.858] jyun4loi4go2dou6ge3sam1dou6zi2hai6dak1jat1go3BBci4gam3sam1
But, the depth was only that of a baby swimming pool.
[13:17.047] Jimmygo3nou5tung4go3sam1
The heart and mind of Jimmy,
[13:18.997] bin3dak1cin4so2mei6jau5gam3cing1sik1
suddenly became clear like never before.
[13:30.252] naa4Lucy
So Lucy,
[13:31.153] ngo5jat1zou2ne1zau6ji5ging1zoeng1gung1zok3zeon3dou6pin1paai4hou2gaa3laak3
I have well scheduled the progress of my work.
[13:34.795] ling6ngoi6ne1zi3jyu1zou2ding6aan3ne1
And then, whether a time is early or late,
[13:37.280] kei4sat6dou1hou2zyu2gun1𠸏ge2
Is very subjective,
[13:39.116] deoi3jyu1ming4baak6jan4sang1ceoi4zo2faan1gung1
and for someone who understands that life is more than working,
[13:41.361] zung6jau5kei4taa1hou2jau5ji3ji6ge3si6ho2ji5hoeng2sau6ge3jan4lai4gong2
and admits many other meaning,
[13:44.547] cat1dim2ji5ging1syun3ci4zo2siu2siu2gaa3laa3
7 pm, is actually a little late to be off work.
[13:47.990] ting1ziu1sap6dim2bun3cin4gaau1go3稿gou2bei2nei5baai1baai3
I’ll get the draft to you before 10:30 am. Bye!

As he walk past the livid
[13:58.822] jau6mei6lai4dak1cit3ceot1seng1ge3Lucyge3si4hau6
but stunned silent Lucy,
[14:01.341] Jimmyfong2jin4daai6ng6
Jimmy had a revelation.
[14:08.584] bin1jat1go3faat3ming4liu5faan1gung1
Whoever invented going to work,
[14:13.909] ngo5jiu3kap1keoi5mai5tin4gung6(mai5tin4gung6);
I will gift him poop (poop)
[14:17.592] go2jat1jat6hai2Lucygaan1fong4
That day, in Lucy’s room,
[14:19.552] go2jat1haa5ge3ang2zyu6ang2zyu6
the prickly feeling,
[14:21.380] zau6hai6jan1wai6lin4ngo5zi6ji5go3sam1dou1tai2m4gwo3ngaan5
was my heart feeling disdain for me.
[14:24.665] jat1zik6ji5lai4ngo5dou1gok3dak1zi6gei2hai6bik1soeng6loeng4saan1
I have always thought that I had no choice,
[14:27.998] si6sat6zau6hai6ngo5hai6bei2jan4ak1zaa3
But the fact is that I have been thoroughly oppressed,
[14:30.803] zoeng1sik6mat6lin2zeoi3dai2cang4ge3san1fan2gaau1faan1bei2zi6gei2
and assign to myself an identity of “lowest rung of the food chain”.
[14:34.606] haa1Jimmygei3jin4faan1gung1OThai6bei6m4dou2ge3
Ha, Jimmy, if “OT work” is unavoidable,
[14:38.220] gam2ngo5zau6jiu3cong3zou6jat1go3
then I must also create one
[14:39.690] 「sang1wut6ge3OT」,zyun1suk6owntime
“OT life”, dedicated Own Time.
[14:42.199] gwo2jin4hoeng1gong2jan4OTm4wui5syu1ge3
That’s it, “Hong Kongers never miss OT”!
[14:48.296] wai2?hai6aa3ngaam1ngaam1sau1gung1laa3
Yes? Yes, I just finished work,
[14:51.024] ji4gaa1daap3ce1heoi3wong6gok3lo1
and now taking a bus to Mong Kok…
