<P class=바탕글> </SPAN></FONT><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt"> Not many members showed up, other members must have been very busy since we're nearing the end of the year, but I think a small group allow us to have different type of fun and joys. :) </SPAN></SPAN></P>
<P class=바탕글><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt"> I had such a fabulous time with Jay, Alex and a new comer Alice. Jay asked us where to draw the line when you get close to co-workers. Alex introduced us a lot of unusual part-time jobs and we shared our own experiences. Alice talked about movies she recently saw, and I brought the issue about why old generations (like my mom and dad) got stuck with one-sided views offered only from main media and shared ideas of how we can balance our views. </SPAN></SPAN></P>
<P class=바탕글><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt"> We had a discussion instead of debate since we had only small group. The topic was about 'mind-wandering'. The two articles had opposite ideas about mind-wandering, one said mind wandering and not focusing on the moment only lead us to unhappiness based on research and experiment, but the other article showed us it actually help us to solve problems and paln the future etc. With those interesting conflicting articles, we brought up our own ideas. </SPAN></SPAN></P>
<P class=바탕글><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt"> Jay, Alex, I went to Subway sandwich place and continued a bit more crazy chats. </SPAN></SPAN></P>
