Among the Big Three, Alibaba employees 30,000, Baidu 50,000, Tencent about 30,000, a total of 110,000, but Huawei's global employees total 170,000!

Huawei is a high-tech company, and technology is the true strength of a country. In China, many companies can't, because they can find a company to replace them soon, but Huawei is irreplaceable! Huawei is a 100% Chinese company that has not been listed and is not ready to go public because it is easily controlled by capital.
華為是高科技公司，而科技才是一個國家的真正實力。
在中國，很多公司可以沒有，因為很快就可以找到替代他們的公司，但是華為不可替代！華為是一家100%中國人的公司，一直沒有上市，且不準備上市，因為上市就很容易受到資本的控制。

What is Huawei? Literally Huawei means China performs well!
Huawei is the first private technology company in the history of China to enter the world's top 100. I can proudly say that Huawei is the pride of our Chinese!
為什麼叫華為？中華有為！華為是中國歷史上第一家進入世界百強的民營科技企業，我可以自豪地説，華為就是我們中國人的驕傲！

Yellow Edge Grouper for Dinner

      

Yesterday Julie and I had a dinner gathering among old friends.  It was at Go Go Chicken Pot.  A very convenient location at the intersection of Bayview and Elgin Mills East.  The highlight of the evening was 10 lbs Yellow Edge Grouper.  It was a pretty big fish enough for 10 -12 persons for dinner.  After a brief discussion, we decided to cook the fish in 3 different ways as follows:

1.   fish bones, tail, Bakchoy and daufu  soup
2.   Wok fried fish cutlet with carrot, broccoli & green onion.
3.   Fish head & belly stewed with mushroom, green onion

On top, we ordered dishes from the set menu.  

4.   spicy eggplant with onion and red pepper
5.   Wok fried pork cutlet with cucumber wood fungus
6.   Deep fried spicy squids
7.   Chop pork rib with bitter cucumber 

8.   A big jar of beer

9.   Steamed rice
10.  Sweet almond soup (desert)
11.  Chinese green tea

Food was delicious and the portions were just right.  We had a good chat after the dinner. but did not stay long due to the extreme cold weather and icy road  conditions 

Winter Storm with Blowing and Drifting Snow

         
Richmond Hill was hit by Winter storm with temperature -10 C feel like -25 C.  As forecast by the Weather Network there was 26 cm of snow.  It was a record breaking winter snow.  The old record 23 cm  dated back 50 years. There was no school for my grandchildren due to the battering snow storm and dangerous road conditions.  

My first task this morning was to clear the snow on the driveway and the windrow at the driveway entrance,  I could not wait for the City of Richmond Hill to clear windrow as I had to go to Rouge Woods Community center for ping pong at 9:00 a.m.  .Julie did not go with me.  She stayed behind at my daughter 's home babysitting the grandchildren.

   
As expected there were few people showing up at the gym. Anyway, it was fun  and I had a good 2 hours workout playing double with the ping pong friends.  After ping pong I had my quick  lunch with deep fried fillet and fruit salad.

As there was lot of snow blocking the driveway entrance.  I had to clear it before I could park the car to the carport.  The wet snow was thick and  heavy making the shoveling extremely tiring.  I had a cup of hot ginger with brown sugar,  then took an afternoon nap.  Hopefully, tomorrow would be sunny day with no more snow. 

3 generation households in Toronto

It was bad weather today temperature - 20 C feel like - 28 C. Snow storm was expected bringing in around 25 cm of snow
throughout the day and night.  Early in the morning Julie and I drove to our daughter 's home and brought the grandchildren to school.  Traffic was not too bad as snow storm did not start then.   We had our quick breakfast  at Golden Horse before we returned home after shopping our food.  A very light lunch with some noodle and a piece of bread before we went to Rouge Woods Community for ping pong.  3 hours of ping pong was indeed a very good workout for the day.

Due to the snow storm warning, we left home a bit earlier picking up the grand kids back to our home.  The kids had dinner with us before they returned home with their parents.  I appreciated their help shoveling the snow on my driveway before they left for home.  We enjoy their company and the pleasure their kids brought us.

It is not uncommon these days to find 3 generations living in the same house.  Among our friends it is a hot topic of our recent conversation.  Is it good or is it bad?  The answer is pretty complicated. The trend is already apparent in Toronto among the new immigrants as well the Canadians. However, among the boomer friends, they are inclined to live by themselves rather than with their children and grand children. To live under one roof is very challenging for young as well as the young in heart. The reason behind is the conflict due to difference of age, value, lifestyle, like and dislike among the 3 generations.  

As we all like to have our own pace and living space, why there is a rise of multi-generational households?   The major factor is the rise of cost of living.  It is brought about by high cost of properties, risen living costs,  price increases of gas, electricity, transportation,  materials and foodstuff as well as taxes. Young generation work people and professionals find difficult to buy their properties.  A condo apartment would cost easily $0.5 million, A townhouse would cost around $1 million. The single house is around $ 1.5 to 2.5 millions.  At such high prices, financing a property is beyond most people 's capability,  even the professionals.   If interest hiked, people with mortgaged properties would be devastated.


More and more younger generation people choose to live with their parents,  though they prefer to live independently. Obviously. it is a financial decision. By living with their parents they can save more money during their stay with mom and dad.  When people have  the financial freedom, they would prefer to live independently.

Julie and I live by ourselves.  We enjoy our freedom and space for being living independently.   Our children and grand children come often as they live very close to our house.   We enjoy their company with us at all time.

FIRST VISIT TO THE ONE FUSION CUISINE

               
It was a freezing morning.  Temperature -10 C feel like -20 C.  I left home at 8:30 a.m. arriving THE ONE FUSION CRUISINE at 8:45 a.m.  When the restaurant opened at 9:00 a.m. there were already more than 10 people waiting outside the restaurant entrance.  It was a big contrast to last week when there were around 50 people awaiting in the lobby as all tables were fully seated.

Julie and I got a table for 5 persons.  As we sat down we phoned our daughter to come joining us at any time with her family.  Before long, they came.  We ordered our favorite dim sum.

We were impressed with the new decorations.

Are You Eligible to Ontario Senior Homeowners' Property Tax Grant

              
Among the seniors in Ontario it is one of the common topics in their conversation.  Thanks to the internet which provides instant information.  We can Google search and find relevant information from reliable sources.   The follow information is from the website of GOVERNMENT OF CANADA:

Seniors age 65 and over are eligible to seniors tax benefit.  It is OSHPTG.

Ontario Electricity Support Program - OESP

     
After the ping pong game yesterday friends had afternoon tea gathering at Golden Horse Cafeteria at Major McKenzie and Leslie.  10 people altogether including Julie and myself.  I ordered a set meal pork chop and chicken breast with gravy on rice, hot tomato soup and tea with milk and sugar.  Julie ordered fried fish fillet with fruit and veggie salad and soya milk.  In the conversation, I was asked by some one about electricity support program for seniors in Ontario.  I therefore would write a post related to the program here and on our RHTTC55 eMagazine sharing the information among the seniors.

When I was home that evening I was busy on something related to the forthcoming 55th reunion of La Salle Old boys in San Francisco.  I forgot the followup work on OESP.  I just remembered it this late afternoon after a doctor 's appointment.

Three important points as follows:

What is OESP program?
OESP stands for Ontario Electricity Support Program. It provides ongoing assistance directly on the bills of eligible low-income electricity consumers  The Ontario Energy Board is helping to make electricity more affordable for low-income households.

Who qualified for OESP program?
Low-income households that apply and qualify will receive an Ontario Electricity Support Program credit on electricity bills monthly. The credit amount is based on the number of people living in the home and their total household income.

How to apply the OESP program?
Electricity customers from lower income households are encouraged to apply online at OntarioElectricitySupport.ca

Extreme Cold Morning -28C feel like -36C

It was extreme cold warning by the Weather Network.   Richmond Hill recorded at 8:30 a.m. on 21 Jan 2019 a temperature -28C and feel like -36C.  My daughter called me and advised me to stay home. They would take their kids to school.  As we were free in the morning Julie and I went to a nearby McDonald Cafe.  It is inside Walmart Supercenter at Major McKenzie and Bayview.  As we already had our breakfast at home, we just ordered a cup of coffee with double cream and double sugar. My doctor won't recommend this, yet it is my favorite beverage from McDonald.  There we overheard some body talking on  her phone.  She was talking with a school bus driver who was supposed to pick up her son. We heard that there was no school bus for the day due to extreme cold weather.  Later in the afternoon, my daughter confirmed to me schools were open but no school bus service.

 After coffee we did a bit shopping in Walmart.  It is newly renovated.  The  new layout with all merchandises perfectly displayed in their respective locations rendering a completely new look for Walmart. The signs are lighted up depicting their respective categories.  As people enter the front entrance,  these signs are eye catching.  They serve perfectly as the sign posts for the customers to find what they want.  The high ceiling was illuminated by countless florescent tubes .  These overhead  lights are bright yet not dazzling to the eyes.  Fridges for cold food such as veggies, meat  and beverages are brand new making the food more attractive and appealing to the customers.  This newly renovated Walmart provides its customers a very comfortable venue where people can enjoy a new shopping experience.  I just love going there taking a 30 minutes walk along the walkway and buy some food such as fruits, yogurt, salmon,  whole chicken, etc.  I highly recommend the Walmart roasted whole chicken to my readers in Richmond Hill.  It is so delicious, tender and juicy and sold only at C$8.99  The taste and texture of this roasted chicken is superb, simply no compare. 

We continued  our morning shopping.  The next stop was Costco situated in Elgin Mills and Leslie.  We arrived at Costco around  9:45 a.m.   We needed to fill up our prescriptions. Probably due to the extreme weather warning, there were very few people and we could do our shopping leisurely without the usual hassle. We registered at the pharmacy registration counter and the medications was ready by 10:30 a.m.  In the interim, we checked around the different sections for items we might want. What we bought for the day are some frozen shrimps and frozen haddock fillets. We drove home and get ourselves some dumplings for our quick lunch.

We went for ping pong at Rouge Woods Community Centre at 1:00 p.m.  Thanks to the staff of the Rouge Woods Community Centre for their effort  the gym was nicely setup and ready with 16 tables setup in two rows.  The ping pong drop-in program for older adults 55 Plus there is eye opening.  We all like the new flooring and table tennis tables as well the high ceiling lights.  These  are the talk of the ping pong group during our after game chat. We started playing ping pong some play single and some play double. A very good time and workout for the day !!!    

GRANDPA 's Blogging Journey

Today is Sunday, 20th January 2019.  There is a severe weather warning today.  Temperature is -18 C. The gusty strong north wind makes people feel like -30 degrees C.  Flurry, snow mixed with ice pellets were showering trees, roofs, roads, sidewalks and driveways.  Fortunately, road conditions are not too bad as Town of Richmond Hill City worked through out the night almost everywhere with its team of snow service vehicles.  In the night I could hear the wind and snow removal trucks working as their roaring pierced through the silent sky. 


Early 6:00 in the morning I woke up.  I did some quick blogging at my other blog "RHTTC55 eMagazine".  It is a blog I developed for the seniors and older adults 55 plus who play table tennis in Richmond Hill and nearby areas.  They are my ping pong friends.  This e-magazine is a collections of videos on the world contemporary travelling, trends, hi-tech, sports, health, etc. Thanks to Youtube which is actually the best source for audio-visual information. They are free like all Google free tools.  They are priceless yet they are the best available tools yet do not cost you a dime.   I searched and found the related videos I wanted for the day.   I shared each video via the share buttons below the video and I could directly put it to my RHTTC55 eMagazine. Just with several clicks, I have put 5 videos there for today.  For me it is not complicated and it works super fast !!!  My four years old grandson likes to say it 'super fast, extra fast grandpa while playing his game with me'.


As the weather was severely harsh, no ping pong for the  morning.  It is a bit sad for me who used to play 2 to 3 hours every day.  The ping pong game gives me a lot of joyful moments whenever I hit out a super loop or a banana shot that curved around the net landing on the other  side of the net. I play just for the joy of the game and the chat with the friends during lunch after the game, Not a trace of winning the game or the competition in my mind. While playing  I  feel like young at seventeen with power and agility.  It is a very nice feeling.  And this feeling is essential for keeping the body healthy and stay young.   Ping Pong is a really good workout both physically and mentally.  The whole body needs to co-ordinate,  mind, eyes, body, hands and feet need to work together in harmony during the game.  Medical professionals worked on it and proved the positive effects of ping pong game on seniors with alzheimer's  and dementia condition. It  indicates the game is good for seniors in their golden years.    The day seemed a bit long and time moved slowly whenever there is no ping pong. 


These are my activities and feelings that I would note it down and record it for myself, my children and grandchildren as well as people I like or people who like me.  A daily blog blogging such happenings and activities would exactly do the job recording the life we live and things we go through.  That is one of the few reasons I started this blog - GRANDPA 's Blogging Journey.    

The exercise for today is snow shoveling on the driveway. I worked a bit outside the house shoveling the snow so that the car can go out the carport and driveway later in the afternoon. Wrapped myself up with layers of warm clothes plus a down on top I started the snow shoveling. Covered my head with a thick hat and my hands with thermal gloves thus kept my body warm but the fingers were freezing and they hurt. After 20 minutes in the freezing temperature feel like -30 degrees C I had to stop the work and went back to the house for a break. It was too cold outside.   I needed to come back later to finish the work again before  going out for lunch.  Probably I would go out with Julie for dim sum in a new restaurant.  It opened only couple of days ago.  Yes, the restaurant is called The ONE Seafood Chinese Restaurant.  

We went to The ONE Seafood Chinese Restaurant around 1:30 p.m.  Upon arrival at the front entrance we saw a big crowd.  About 50 people were waiting there.  It is a full house.  Julie and I decided to go elsewhere for our lunch.   Anyway, I took a picture of the restaurant.  It is fully renovated and is gorgeously beautiful and classy.  We would like to come back again to try the food.

We drove back along Bayview Avenue and headed our way to Golden Horse Cafeteria our usual lunch venue near Leslie Avenue.  It was also crowded with a full house.  The waiting was a short one and soon we got our table.  Julie ordered a fish fillet with salad.  I got the baked pork chop with fried rice, soup and tea.  It was reasonably priced.  The bill totaled  $22 with tax and tips included.  

We returned home after the lunch.  I still had some unfinished work at the driveway.  I needed to clear the snow bank at the driveway entrance.   As the snow was still soft, I cleared snow away within 20 minutes just shoveling it with my hands. The Town of Richmond Hill City Government is responsible for snow removal of the highways, roads and sidewalks. Driveways and snow banks at the driveway entrance will be taken care of by  the  house residents.  However, residents over 65 can apply online or in person at the Richmond Hill Office at Elgin Mills Avenue for snow windrow clearing service.    I am very happy that I can do this work.  It needs muscle and pretty good body condition.  I shall be celebrating my 73th birthday in the coming February.  I am grateful for what I am today being happy and healthy working my mind and body.  I enjoy these simple daily task. 

I resume working on my blogs whenever I feel free with updates and new ideas.  My readers and friends are connected closely with me via their WhatSapp feedback.  Today 's smartphone makes updating simple and easy. For example,  I sent the above photo from my cellphone to my gmail in my personal computer, There from the gmail, downloaded it to the computer hard drive. Then from the hard drive  I uploaded it to this blog post which you are reading now.   Hope you guys like this post.

Blogger Tutorial for Beginners

                 
I searched and found in Youtube this video series .  It has good content with step by step approach guiding ...." Blogger Tutorial for Beginners - What 's New in Blogger.com in 2018".  The series are about 3 - 4 minutes each. Its coverage is pretty comprehensive as it spans from the stage before you start the blog.  A blogger should answer 4 question before starting the blog. What is your target?  What attitude is appropriate?  Do I have the skill and knowledge.  Highly recommend this video series.  Have a nice and safe  weekend.   

Meet the Leader with Jack Ma

               
I  watched this video early this morning.  I also read the comments by people watching it. Among the comments, one really stands out and I was totally knocked out.

 " Just look at us...Everything is backwards. Everything is upside down....Doctors destroy health....Lawyers destroy justice....Universities destroy knowledge...Government destroy freedom...the major media destroy information....and religion destroy spirituality.....adapt....observed.....and overcome to only to survive....just do good things...you speak the truth".  

This guy with his words painted an appalling picture of the world today. People of the global village is in the time of great transformation.  
  
Jack Ma is a wise man with great vision.  He is a leader for people to follow for his mind power,   communicating ability and people skill.  I think people would agree with me saying that Jack Ma is not handsome  but people love listening to Jack when he speaks sharing his vision for the future with people around him.  He always has great answers for each and every question and that is really amazing. Jack is a man with great charisma.  He is  a role model for people to look up to.  .   

Best Blogging Ideas for Beginners

           
              It IS DAY 6 ... a Busy Day    

In the morning, I went alone to Langstaff Community Centre and played  3 hours of ping  pong.  Usually, I joined the group lunch together with the ping pong friends.  I did not join them.  I did some dumplingss cooking at home and that was my quick lunch.  I have an appointment with the garage technician at 2:00 pm for the car battery replacement.  It was not too far away from my home just about 15 minutes of drive.  According to the technician,  my battery is aging so much and it is in the bottom line condition.  The replace was super fast.  I thought it was about 10 minutes at the most.  The cost is C$180.  

I returned home and made a phone call to my daughter telling her I have an appointment at 3:30 p.m. related to her apartment   A lady who is a close relative of the tenant wanted to go to the tenant apartment.  She was supposed to water the tenant 's flowers in the apartment while he was out of the country.   My daughter advised me to leave the matter to her and she would handle it herself.    My daughter did not want me to attend the meeting. 

I stayed home busy doing blogging updates for my RHTTC eMagazine and some internet searching for some nice blogging ideas for this blog you are ready now.  And I came across this video "Best Blogging Ideas for Beginners"   It is good and it may be the best blogging ideas. . .

MMS stands for Multimedia Messaging Service and this type of text messaging is an evolution of the SMS. With a MMS, you can send a message including pictures, video, or audio content to another device. It is most commonly used to send a photo taken with a camera phone to another phone.Jul 19, 2012

I am using LG X Power3 smartphone & Blogger

Now we can do blogging with our smartphone while travelling.  It is so cool!

Desktop blogging in leisure hour

Morning tea and dim sum with Julie at My Wonderful Kitchen Richmond Hill.  She shot the picture while I was enjoying my cup of green tea.   Excellent price there.  All dim sum at $3.50 for large, medium and small .  The restaurant provides wi-fi there but  I did not do any mobile blogging  there.  You know,  it is time for enjoying the good tea and delicious dim sum.

Any way, I did the desktop blogging later at home in the afternoon after playing ping pong. With my cellphone I sent a picture to my desktop computer via email.  Then from that email  download that specific  photo to the computer harddrive. Then I upload it to this post with Blogger sharing the picture and content with all readers and visitors.  

By the way, we can do blogging while travelling.  That is mobile blogging.

A blogging corner

Today is Sunday.  After a rich breakfast Julie and I went to the McConaghy Seniors Centre meeting friends and played 2 hours of  table tennis with them.  It is almost a daily routine and it is a very good way to keep fit both physically and mentally.  

We returned home after lunch.  I resumed working a bit at the computer room which is my blogging corner. I resumed working on the new blog "Grandpa David A 's blogging journey".  I fine-tuned the layout making it simple and neat.  I also put on AddThis share button there so that the readers can share with friends. One important point worth mentioning here is the blog loading time. Long loading time is unaccepted by all visitors and readers.  

This blogging corner is where I do my daily blogging.  With today 's mobile/smart phones blogging is great fun.   I can simply blogging anywhere.  I can do it at the cafe and shopping mall where wi-fi is available.  Of course, you can do it while travelling out of the country.  It is cool.  

I would come back in more details on mobile blogging later.  See you and have a great Sunday.   

My Blogging Journey

Empower people  turning knowledge and experience during their retirement 
into leisure activity or an 
e-business of their own with right mindsets, tools and solutions.  It is my vision.


Yes, we can do it.  Do it yourself with Google tools such as Google+, Google My Business, Blogger, Youtube, etc.  They are free.  They are the best tools building and developing your own online endeavors for fun and sharing.  If you desire, you can build your own online business and e-commerce, e-store - the business with no boundary.  

Today is 12 Jan 2019.  It is day 1 when I started developing this new blog "GRANDPA  DAVID AU 's blogging journey. You can follow my journey as of today and  I would post you guys what happens in this blogging journey.
