There's not just one road to the destination, but many roads. You just need to take the little step that’s right in front of you, and then the next one, and a few years down the track, they will seem like massive achievements.
通往目的地的路不止一條，有很多路可走。你只需要邁出眼前這一小步，然後再邁出下一步，幾年下來，將會成為巨大成就。

I didn’t meet my father until I was 6 years old. My parents had a comfortable, middle-class life in Shanghai, or as close as you could get under communism. But they always wanted to live overseas, and just before I was born, my dad came to Sydney to set things up. I don’t know why, but in the end, my mother and I didn’t join him until I was 6.
•a middle-class life 中產階級生活
•set things up 打點一切
•live overseas 往海外生活
•in the end 最後 (表達在經過一段時間或一連串事件之後的結果)
直到六歲前我都未曾見過父親。我的雙親在上海過著舒適的中產階級生活，或著說，在共產階級下所能得到的最接近的生活。他們一直響往海外生活，就在我出生前，我父親來到雪梨打點一切。但不知何故，直到六歲那年我與母親才終於與父親團聚。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Unfortunately, half a year after we arrived, he left us. That was a huge shock. Our transition had already been quite difficult, as we both didn't speak English. Also, as Shanghai was such a big bustling city, Sydney felt a bit like the countryside, especially on the weekends, as no shops were open back then!
•shock 令人震驚的事件（或經歷）；驚愕，震驚 (come as a great shock 讓人倍感震驚)
•transition 轉變；過渡
•a bustling city 繁華都會
不幸的是，就在我跟母親抵達半年後，父親離開了我們。這是個巨大的打擊，因爲我們不會說英文，在適應過渡期本就已過得相當艱辛。此外，不同於上海的繁華都會，雪梨更像鄉下，尤其在週末，那時連商店都不開門。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
We were very much reliant on my dad, not only financially, but also as a conduit into the wider community. So to have that broken was quite distressing. I remember Mum crying a lot. As we had become socially isolated, we didn’t find out anything about Centrelink, so we survived on her savings for a while, and then got some help from her family back in China.
•be reliant on… 依賴...
•a conduit into 進入...的渠道
•distressing (adj.) 令人苦惱的,令人擔憂的
•become socially isolated 變得孤立於社會
•survive on her savings 僅靠的她積蓄過日子
我們相當依賴我父親，不僅是經濟，他也是我們進入更廣泛社區的渠道。因此，當局面被打破時令人相當痛苦，我還記得母親時常哭泣。由於我們孤立於社會，所以我們並不知道澳洲社會福利聯絡中心 （Centrelink）的任何資訊，僅靠母親的積蓄支撐了一段時間，然後從母親在中國的娘家得到一些幫助。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Eventually, Mum moved us down to Melbourne, where we were able to make some new networks and family friendships. But I was bullied a bit at school about things like my food and clothing! Whenever someone bullied me, I would defend myself, but because I didn’t have the language skills to explain to the teacher why, I got in trouble quite a bit. I ended up having to move school 3 times before I came to Balwyn Primary School, which was relatively multicultural.
•be able to 能夠
•make new networks 建立新的人脈，關係網
•be bullied 被霸凌
•language skills 語言能力
•get in trouble 惹上麻煩
•end up 最後處於；最後成爲；以…告終
•relatively 相對地
•multicultural 多元文化的
最後，母親帶著我搬遷到墨爾本，在那我們能夠建立起新的網絡與家庭情誼。然而。我在學校飽受霸凌，例如我的食物及衣物。每當有人霸凌我，我會自我防衛，但我的語言技巧不足以向老師解釋事發原因，因此常常陷入麻煩。後來我不得不再三轉學，直到就讀相對多元文化的博文小學（Balwyn Primary School）。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
After that, I did alright. Music featured very prominently in my life. I had started learning the violin from the age of 2.5 years old and even with all the troubles that were going on in my life, had somehow still kept up with it. As a result, I got a music scholarship to Trinity Grammar School. But even there I used to get into quite a lot of mischief, and would often skip school to go to the movies.
•do alight 過得不錯，做的不錯
•feature (v.) 以…為特色；給…以顯著的地位
•prominently 重要地；著名地；突出地，顯眼地
之後，我便過得不錯。音樂在我生活中佔有重要的一席之地，我從兩歲半開始學習小提琴，儘管生活中事事不如意，我依然堅持不輟。因此，我獲得三一文法學校（ Trinity Grammar School）的音樂獎學金。但即使在那，我也常惡作劇、逃學看電影。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
By the end of year 11, I was told I would have to either repeat the year, or consider going to another school, which was quite humiliating for my mum. I decided to move school and surprisingly, I ended up doing quite well in year 12! As a result, I ended up getting into a double degree in Law and Music at Monash.
•repeat the year 留級 ; 重唸一年
•humiliating 令人感到恥辱的，丟臉的
11年級結束時，我被告知要麽被留級，要麼考慮轉學，這對我母親來說相當丟人。我決定轉學，而令人驚訝的是，我在12年級的時候表現優異，最後錄取蒙納士大學法律與音樂雙學位。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
When I started, my first thought was that I didn’t belong because I had done so badly in school up to year 11 and everyone else seemed so smart. But I put my head down, got through it, and ended up getting a job in the legal department of a major manufacturing company, which was a different approach to what most law students do.
•do not belong 不屬於這
•put my head down 埋頭苦幹
•the legal department of ...的法律部門
•a different approach 不同途徑
•approach （思考問題的）方式，方法，態度
當我開始進入大學，最初的想法是我不屬於這，因為我在11年級前都表現不佳，而這裡的人似乎都聰明絕頂。但我埋頭苦幹，咬牙撐過，最後在一家大型製造公司的法律部門找到工作，這與多數法律系學生的途徑不同。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
I really enjoyed it. It was hard work, but I learned a lot of foundational business, legal and corporate communication skills. After that I worked in corporate governance in RMIT, then started to moonlight as a lecturer in the Law Faculty. Eventually, they asked me if I wanted to do a PhD and I blindly said yes! I next worked at Swinburne University, and then was head-hunted to lead the corporate legal team at the Commercial Passenger Vehicles Commission.
•foundational 基礎的
•communication skills 溝通技巧
•corporate governance
•moonlight (v.) （尤指瞞著僱主）從事第二職業，兼職
•headhunt (v.) 物色（人才）； 挖角
•legal team 法律團隊
我非常喜歡這份工作，這是份辛苦的工作，但我學習了很多基礎商業、法律以及公司溝通技巧。之後我在皇家墨爾本理工大學（ RMIT）從事公司治理工作，並開始兼職擔任法律系講師。後來他們問我是否想要讀博士，我便盲目地答應了。接下來，我在斯威本大學（Swinburne University）工作，再被挖角到商用小客車委員會領導法律團隊。

I had a good life, but after a while, I realised I wanted a different kind of job. I could see my seniors were making a lot of money but that their family life was not that good. And looking at my own upbringing, I wanted to be the kind of father who could be present in my own kids’ lives. So I decided on dentistry. It would not only allow me to use the hand skills that I had developed from playing the violin, but also the analytical and reasoning skills that I'd developed in law. Plus it would be flexible, and offer me a stable income and the chance to meet different people every day!
•upbringing 教養
•decide on sth 決定某事或東西
•analytical and reasoning skills 分析和推理能力
•offer a stable income 提供穩定收入
我的生活很不錯，但一段時間後，我意識到自己想要一份不同的工作。我知道前輩們賺了很多錢，但他們的家庭生活並不美滿。看著自己的成長經歷，我想要成為可以在孩子生活中出席的父親，所以我決定改行當牙醫。這項職業能讓我使用從拉小提琴中發展出的手部技巧，也能運用我在法律中發展出的分析與推理技能。此外，這個職業相當靈活，能為我提供穩定收入，並有機會每天與不同的人見面。

My now fiancée, who was my girlfriend at the time, was also applying for further study, and coincidentally we both got into university in South Australia, so we moved to Adelaide together a few years ago.
•fiancée 未婚妻
•at the time 當時
•apply for 申請
•further study 繼續教育，進修；進一步研究；深造
•coincidentally 碰巧地；巧合地
我的未婚妻，當時的女友，也申請繼續深造，巧的是我們都考上南澳大學（University of South Australia)，所以幾年前一起搬到阿得雷德（ Adelaide）。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
I was lucky to get a university job at Flinders University. Initially, I started out as a casual lecturer in the law school, but I’ve since transitioned into teaching health law and research, and I’m currently writing a few books on the intersection between law and medicine. And also, obviously, trying to finish my dentistry degree!
•start out as… 起初擔任...
•transition into… 轉變到...
我很幸運的在福林德斯大學（Flinders University）找到工作，起初我在法學院擔任臨時講師，但我後來轉換到醫事法教學及研究。目前我正撰寫幾本關於法律與醫學相接的書籍，並努力完成我的牙醫學位。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Mum eventually retrained as a Chinese high school teacher, and she’s still teaching to this day. Like most first generation migrants, she struggled quite a lot, and invested heavily in my success. After we’re married, my fiancée and I are planning to have children, and I’m sure they will have it much easier than I did.
•retrain 重新培養；再培訓；再訓練
•to this day 至今
•first generation migrants 第一代移民
•struggle a lot 掙扎奮鬥許久
•have it much easier 過的比較輕鬆
我的母親最終重新接受培訓，成為一名中文高中老師並執教至今。如同大多數第一代移民，她掙扎奮鬥許久，並為我的成功投資甚多。我與未婚妻打算婚後生孩子，我確信孩子會過的比我輕鬆得多。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Still, a lot of the failures that I’ve had in my life have really informed a lot of my successes. Looking back, I wouldn't really want to change that to have a smoother life.
•inform [正式] 影響某人的態度或意見
https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/inform
•have a smoother life 有一個更順遂的人生
我的生活中的種種失敗確實為我的成功提供借鑑。回首過去，我不會想要改變那些坎坷經歷去擁有一個更順遂的人生。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Over the years, I've learned that perseverance is very important. I hope that through telling my story, I can be an example to others who might be in a similar position as I was: to show that there's not just one road to the destination, but many roads. You just need to take the little step that’s right in front of you, and then the next one, and a few years down the track, they will seem like massive achievements.
•over the years 多年來
•perseverance 不屈不撓，堅持不懈
•be an example 成為榜樣
•be in a similar position 處於相似的處境
•down the road/line/track 將來(的路)
多年來，我學到堅持不懈是至關重要的。我希望透過講述自己的故事，能成為其他可能與我有相似處境的人的榜樣：向他們展示通往目的地的路不止一條，有很多路可走。你只需要邁出眼前這一小步，然後再邁出下一步，幾年下來，將會成為巨大成就。

Hello friends! Today we're going to share with you how to make the super fluffy but light in the texture American style pancakes.
The pancake's shape and structure varies worldwide. But fluffy American pancakes are on my A-list. Everybody loves pancakes because they're so easy to make, but NOT THAT EASY. I mean if you want to make the most delicious one.
So we did some research to find the recipe. New York Magazine has voted Clinton St. Bakery Co’s pancakes are the best in New York city twice, so no doubt, we tried their recipe. And we love it. They are rich in flavor but light in texture. Super Yummy. Their pancakes are famous for a reason.
In this video, we’ll share the secret of these pancakes step by step, and how to make the fluffy texture (almost like a cake). They are great for a weekend brunch, and we strongly recommend topping with maple butter and blueberries compote. Of course you can also add some crisp fried bacon with it, they are a classic American breakfast dream team forever :). Wow~so enjoyable. Every day should start like this.

How to make blueberry pancakes
☞ Yield: 8~10 servings, using ¼ cup to scoop the batter
✎ Ingredients
📍 pancake
all purpose flour 160g
milk 220g
baking powder 6g
granulated sugar 70g
salt 2g
unsalted butter 58g, melted
egg 2, M~L size
vanilla extract 2g
📍 maple butter
maple syrup 160g (about 1/2 cup)
cold unsalted butter 110g, cubed (about 1/2 cup)
📍 blueberry compote
fresh or frozen blueberries 178g (1 cup)
granulated sugar 22g (2 tbsp)
lemon juice 5g (1tsp)
✎ Instructions
📍 pancake
1. Sift flour and baking powder together into a large mixing bowl. Then add sugar and salt and mix well.
2. Separate egg yolks from egg whites. Add vanilla extract, milk and melted butter into yolks bowl, and whisk until combined.
3. Beat the egg whites by electric mixer or by hand with a whisk until foamy, then add sugar in 3 batches and continue whisking until they reach medium soft peaks.
4. Pour the egg yolk and milk mixture into the dry mixture, just mix until the flour is dissolved, the batter will be slightly lumpy. Don't over mix it.
5. Next, gently mix half of the whipped whites into the batter, using the whisk to mix from the bottom, then add the rest of the whipped whites and keep folding it in, but no need to fully incorporate.
6. Heat the griddle until hot about 190°C. Drop half cup of pancake batter on the griddle to test the temperature and let set. Once bubbles form and pop, flip it. If the color is nice, the heat is enough. (A common mistake many people make is they don't heat the griddle enough, which is why we need to test the first one.) BTW, if you prefer the crispy on the edge, you can grease the hot surface with a little oil or butter.
7. Add 1/4 cup pancake batter, as the pancake cooks, you will see bubbles start to form on top, once the bubbles pop and become holes, it's time to flip. (3~3.5 mins per side)
8. Repeat the process with remaining batter, you can add some blueberries on top to create fruit flavor. Cooking several pancakes at a time. Transfer cooked pancake to a plate and garnish with confectioners’ sugar on top. Serve warm with maple butter and blueberry compote. Enjoy! To keep the pancakes warm while you make more, you can preheat the oven to 50°C and transfer cooked pancakes in to keep warm.
📍 maple butter
1. Heat maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat.
2. Add cold butter to warm syrup (never bring to a boil), whisking until sauce is smooth and all of the butter is incorporated. Maple Butter can also be kept refrigerated for up to two months. Reheat before using.
📍 blueberry compote
1. Simply combine blueberries, sugar and lemon juice in a small pot over medium-low heat, stirring continuously.
2. Once cooked, simmer for 4-5 minutes, keep stirring until a thick mixture has formed.

Day by day I slowly came to believe
All the way from outer space you chose me
And now nothing else feels just as true
As compared to falling for you babe
They all say I'm gonna miss how this feels
Somersaults punches and kicks all too real
All the headaches and emotions
but you’re growin' and you’re growin’ on me
Can’t deny
That you’re changing me from the inside
Like the clock
That I can’t unwind But I don’t mind I don’t mind
Little love
You give me a reason to do anything
You give me a reason to not fear or hate
Overthink it or calculate
Even when you keep me awake
Oh
Oh
Little love
Never thought this woulda come all so soon
Still don’t know when timing comes how I’d do
But I already cannot imagine my life living without you
Vivid dreams
They creep into the night all the damn time
I realize
It's because you’re always on my mind
On my mind
Little love
You give me a reason to do anything
You give me a reason to not fear or hate
Overthink it or calculate
For you I’ll learn to be brave
Little love
You give me a reason to try everything
You give me a reason to take on the pain
Overcome it and be amazed
Even when you keep me awake
I’ll be there
For the first steps you take
The first words you say
I’ll be there
For the first sights you see
and holding you in my arms as you sleep
But little love
You give me a reason to patiently wait
Witnessing every step of the way
No matter what you face
Oh you can be brave
Little love
You give me a chance to see what I’m made of
A chance to see the world through your eyes and your touch
How simple joys are enough
The simple joys as you grow up
Oh
Oh
My little love

My first solo wedding in awhile. David and Beatrice are a beautiful couple that had their wedding in an equally gorgeous location, Janda Baik in Malaysia. It was a smooth sailing day and hardly any hiccups. Such a treat an honour to film their wedding.
Music used: https://artlist.io/Samuel-241034
"Thank You" - Anthony Lazaro
"I Get Up" - John Coggins
TECHNICAL ASPECT:
This was the first time shooting a full day video shoot with the Canon 1DX Mark iii. Wanted to step away from the whole "cinematic wedding" video and start developing a documentary style of wedding videos and I'm really happy with how everything turned out! Used a 24MM F1.4 ii, 35MM F1.4ii, 100mm F2.8 and 70-200 F2.8.
The whole piece felt much nicer when graded a little softer. Used Film Convert with a Kodak Portra 400 look. The camera performed very well but like all log footage, don't underexpose. Still wasn't fully well versed with the camera so I made some slight mistakes with white balance and exposure on a few shots. Overall very happy with the image quality and usability of the camera!
