My zero tolerance for taxi drivers that snubs you for no reason

Okay.. those of you who know me well. KNOS that I'm quite an impatient person.

Things that I hate include:
  • Waiting for mainland waiters
  • Waiting outside a restaurant
  • Waiting to make a consensus decision(even with a bunch of best frds)..Geez just move on already
  • Getting my schedule or plans changed abrubtly (My hairstylist likes to change my appointments a lot, and sometimes my friends say they're at one place..but they didn't tell me that they switch venues)
  • Waiting for ppl in GENERAL ...i think..

But what I most hate and I just can't bring myself to tolerate are fucking cab drivers that snub you.
So this happened in the afternoon...

Background: I just finished accompanying my client to go shopping (sooo boring)..and he was in a rush to attend a conference..and I was in a rush to go back to the office..and needless to say it was during rush hour where we were on the busiest street in Shanghai

Me: Would you please take him to the Shangrila in Pudong
(Peeping thru the side window..to help my non-chinese speaking client give directions)

Cab guy: No

Me: What?? Excuse me? The Shangrila in Pudong.. its near the hyatt..

Cab guy: I'm not going there... I don't know the way
(Rude tone)

Me: What??? Don't tell me that you don't know how to go to Pudong..
(Aggrivated)

Cab guy: I don't know
(A lying tone)

Me: That's impossible ..how can you not know how to go to Pudong? This is Shanghai..and you don't know how to drive to Pudong?
(Bitch mode)

Cab guy: Well..if I dont' know then I don't know
(Sarcastic and full of himself tone.. which everyone knows he's lying)

Me: THAT'S ricidulous..is that your number? (Pointing to his taxi driving plate located in the front seat..coz you can complain about the driver if you're not satisfied with the service)

Cab guy: Oh ..you want to see it..here..here..remember it..(Pulls out the plate..and shows me)
(Sarcastic..and impolitely of course)

Me: Fine... Fine.. Don't worry..I'm copying it right now.. Don't worry..I won't forget to copy your liscense plate too
(Going a bit psycho bitch here...punchin in his number in my phone)

Cab guy: ..............

Me: Yeah..i got it already.. now take off.. "Zou le!!!"
(Giving him the finger simultaneously)

But of coz..like almost instantly after I gave him the finger....I immediately regreted it as I just zapped myself into reality again and realized that .. yes.. my client was standing beside me the whole time.. I'm sure he didn't understand what we were saying but I'm pretty sure he understood the finger..***Okay now.. you guys can stop shaking your heads in disapproval..*** I mean when u're in the moment..

Me to Client: I'm sorry ...but that guy was just being an asshole..
(To wrap up my behaviour..in an embarrassed but still pissed tone)

Yeah...well..2043364..you heard me.. FUCK YOU..

I killed a roach today....

I killed a cochroach today.... =(
it was the scarriest thing...one of the vices living alone...normally in this situation..i would just tell somebody and my family members will kill it. But since im living alone today.. i pondered if i should just leave it alone for like half an hour..then i decided that i should kill it. (For sanitary reasons of coz)

Of coz I was screaming when i was pounding it with the toliet brush or whatever its called... the worst part was that I had to pick it up with a kleenex. I don't know if it was my paranoia or what but I swear it was moving when I was picking it up. I just yelled and threw it in the toliet of the guest bathroom. I don't think I'm going there for a while..EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

and EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Stupid Drunk...Poonstar..Poonbear...

Poon and I have always been mean and sarcastic towards eachother, and we'd often exchange sneering remarks. We're like teenage siblings that hate eachother. Anyway, I've noticed that Poon gets more bitchy and aggressive when he's drunk and I've decided to document his harrassments and go public with it.

I mean what's crazy anyways....

Crazy - Gnarls Barkley

I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that phase.
Even your emotions had an echo
In so much space
And when you're out there
Without care,
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much

Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Probably

And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice, that's my only advice
Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are,
Ha ha ha bless your soul
You really think you're in control

Well, I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me

My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them
Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'm done

Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably

I mean..what's normal anyways? Craziness to me is like being trapped and submerged in your own thoughts. Everybody goes thru that sometimes, I don't think I'm normal and I'm proud of it.

And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice, that's my only advice
Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are??
Ha ha ha bless your soul...
You really think you're in control???

PS. Check out the vid.. amazing graphics..totally in sync wid da song

I want a stethoscope

I want a stethoscope....
I want to listen to my heart..and see how it murmurs..and beats differently from other ppl..
I want to hear what my heart says...

Body Check up....hrmmm...

Went to my check up today... coz every foreigner who works in Shanghai apparently has to do a body check up. Of coz I was frowning and looking away while they took my blood and all that. But weird thing was I found out that I had Sinus Irregularity and Heart Murmurs. Sinus irregularity is apparently pretty regular..but heart murmurs may be an indication of heart disease...

What Is a Heart Murmur?
A heart murmur is an extra or unusual sound heard during your heartbeat. Murmurs range from very faint to very loud and sometimes sound like a whooshing or swishing noise. Normal heartbeat sounds—"lub-DUPP" or "lub-DUB"—are the valves closing as blood moves through the heart. (Go to the
How the Heart Works section for more information about how a normal heart works.)
A heart murmur is not a disease; it is a sound that the doctor hears with a stethoscope. It may be normal, or it could be a sign that something may be wrong. Most heart murmurs are harmless. Some are signs of heart problems, especially if other signs or symptoms of a heart problem are present.

Types of Murmurs

Innocent (harmless) murmurs
A person with an innocent murmur has a normal heart and usually has no other signs or symptoms of a heart problem. Innocent murmurs are common in healthy children.

Abnormal murmurs
A person with an abnormal murmur usually has other signs or symptoms of a heart problem. Most abnormal murmurs in children are due to
congenital heart defects—heart defects present at birth. In adults, abnormal murmurs are most often due to heart valve problems caused by infection, disease, or aging.


I think the most rational reason for my heart murmurs is that im a healthy child???!!!
YEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Untitledddddddd la

It seems that work has just infiltrated my life entirely lately...always on the phone even during midnite..went to work saturday. I played some golf afterwards..... whenever I play golf..my right side of my back hurts..i guess its coz of my posture or something. Anyhoo.. went to an italian restaurant Cameo then went to Pier One..I really liked that place...I liked the view of overlookin the park with a nice pond. Very relaxing.. By looking at a view like that..I could just stare at it ..and just blank out.. and that was nice..coz too many things have been on my mind lately.
Well today I woke up at like 3.. read some magazines and did a little bit of sudoku..then went out to grab some beer..then watched the Fiba China vs Greece game wid siu keung.. the best thing was we ordered PIZZA!!!!!! Beer, pizza and the game..great..eventho China did lose but it was fun to watch...After that I went for a massage.. I dunno why every time after a massage.. i like loose my balance and wobble about like im drunk or something..anyway my back is better now......

Work Hard.. Play Harrrrrrder

So I had 10 ppl visiting me last weekend..Craziness...Anyway..Thanks to Des, Grace, Wincy, Web, Bow Bow, Fi, Kan, Wendy, Stanley and Yui for coming to see me..I had one of my best weekends in Shanghai ever.

Highlights

  • Drinking till 5 in the morning everyday, Sunday nite was the worst, started at 5pm drank red wine, white wine, went to Jap restaurant, drank sake, plum wine, beer, then went to Grand Hyatt and drank red wine and grolsh..then went back to home and drank champagne. Had a splitting headache..Passed out and forgot to say bye to Yui.
  • Stayin in a nice VIP room in Bar Rouge.. How nice...Happy Bday Dean!!!
  • Seeing Yui (Haven't seen this guy since graduation... 8 years!!!!!! I feel old)
  • Got money thrown at my face by my good frd Bow Bow
  • Almost losing my new phone within 24hrs (Now I have a rewards plan, my buddies say will buy me a free K600i if I don't lose my new phone in 2 months..judging from what I did..they think its a safe bet)
  • Seeing funny drunks..Bow Bow, Yui and my enemy Web (They were yelling "Pizza..Pizza ..Pizza" at 3am..starting a riot..and I had to say "Fuck..I told you like a million times..its freakin closed")

Can't wait to party like that again..tee hee!!!!!!!! Wait for Guo Xing la.. I'll be back!!

Some picszz

Hee hee..me and my fave new hat!!

Happy Bday Dean!! @ Bar rouge

Haven't seen Yui for 8 years..Until October then!! HK awaits...

Beware of the yellow one..harrasses waiters, other customers and friends when drunk in restaurants..

Reinforcement is HERE....

Current status: Suprised and overwhelmed...

I guess as the saying goes..if a door closes ..there's always a window of opportunity for something greater. Lately I've been having a lot of "windows"..i'm just on a roll and have a struck of luck. I can't believe that I'm doing this well here in just half a year, considering that I've been struggling so much at the start. I feel like I have full support and back up and now I just have to live up to expections (for others and myself of coz)

This is what I wanted ..what i yearned..what i strived for.. so no looking back .. no nothing..so just go.. and live it up.

AYEEEE mate..in IREland

Oh it was a quick trip.. I arrived to Cork airport around midnite..checked in the hotel..checked my emails..waited for the SHA office to open..sent some more emails and went to bed around 3am..woke up at 9am..headed out. So I heard that Kinsale was a nice town by the sea..so I just asked to front desk to the nearest bus station ..then waitied..the people in Ireland are generally REALLY nice.. I kinda forgot how cultivated human beings can be.. a couple of ppl chatted me up while I was waiting for the bus and the bus station manager even made sure I got on the right bus. How nice..

I arrived to Kinsale half an hour later..walked around a bit..it was really a relaxing place..and they had a Farmer's market that day which was just lovely.. a lot of homemade food.. cheese..pies..jam..meat loaf..hummus..crepes.. all the food u can get. There were 2 musicians playing jazz in the corner..so the place was like sooo decent and relaxing..there was this little kid dancing along too.. Sooo cute.. (Check the clip) Anyway..after grabbing some food I got a can of Druids Premium Irish Cider...It was quite nice..after that I waited to get on the bus to head back...

Eventho it was just 2 hrs in this little town..but it felt great..it felt different..I mean..the world is a vast place and sometimes when u think you're trapped or cagged..u just have to kno what santuaries are prolly just hours away.

Anyhoo.. enjoy the pics


Farmer's Market and Roasted Potatoes ...MmMMmMMmmm


Lovely Streets of Kinsale, Ireland

Own or be owned?



"Handshakes" - Metric

Say you wanna get in
And then you wanna get out
When you get the money
To buy yourself a castle
How will you wear your leisure
Zipper back and front
On the fence together
Weekends in leather
Flip to the right
Slip back to the left
For handshakes at the ranch
Small talk at the crossroads
Rubbing up to the ladder
Sucking on every rung
Coming up forever and hanging on
That's entertainmentWhen the cameras roll
Can you face the pavementFor a happy dog and pony show
Everybody loves you baby
Of course they do
Do you miss me
I miss you

Buy this car to drive to work
Drive to work to pay for this car

Can't and Won't deal...

Been dealing with some drama lately.. I didn't do anything wrong here. I mean I'm a complicated individual myself and I have trouble handling my own thoughts, I don't like to be sucked into other ppls drama.

It's just not me...

PUMP IT - Black Eye Peas Concert in Shanghai


BEP rocked da house!!!!!!!! And Taboo was so H-O-T!
Eventho I hated the cheap plastic seats in the stadium, but no one was sitting down anywayz. There was like NO AC..or maybe they did and it was way to stuffy.. I had like cold sweat during the whole show.
No doubt I was pumped after the show..then went to Wynn Win..er...mistake..coz I forgot that they played house. Anyways.. did get the dancing out of my system.

The break up

So you left me..or perhaps it was my fault as I should have been more devoted and caring. We just met for 2 months.. but you were different..and I was kinda picturing a long lasting relationship with you. OH GOD.. its heartbreaking..I'm not the same person without you.. I am totally lost without you..but you are probably already in someone else's arms right now. I guess I would need some time to get over you and move on to another..but I think I'm still in denial...

Oh how I miss you ..my Sharp SX 903..and your nice white exterior with your amazing inner qualities of 300 mega pixels , high def screen and 3G capabilities..

P.S. Don't ask me how I'm doing.. Don't give me the 3rd degree... Just give me your freaking number...

My NYC trip

I arrived the the Big Apple yesterday around 3pm, then I went to the office chatted up for half an hour then went back to the hotel. After a 20hr flight, I was pretty smashed, after indulging in a NY Strip Sirloin and fresh berries for desert (Room service btw... I kno ..i kno.. spoiled) I decided to take a short nap ..then prolly go walk around ..then I woke up all of a sudden then realized it was 10pm (but I was supposed to have a drink with some colleagues during 9:30) Anyway..I rushed down..tired and all and went out to grab a bite with them...after that I went back to my room ..showered..then waited for a document from email...till 2am..darn it...

Had 5 hrs of sleep...ONLY

Then woke up 7am and went on my business trip to Philadephia..3 hrs on the road..3 hr meeting in Philly..had lunch..headed back to Newark..for another meeting..then went to Manhattan soho for dinner.. whilst passing by the various shops in Soho..my heart was torn into pieces as I could not enter those cute little botiques. Its mental torture..it is..honestly..its not humane.. to pass by one of the most facinating shopping areas and not be able to go into the shops... I was pratcially drooling when I passed by Miss Sixty (SALE SIGN)..Anthropologie (only available in the States)..Diesel (my fave store)..REISS (the kool UK brand)..

However.. I did rather enjoy my meal..we all went to this Italian Restaurant located in centre Soho area. Off the bat, I noticed that the ppl eating there were either incredibily hot or chic. (Even the old ppl looked good..skinny..fashionable..with an uptown kinda radiance) We sat in the garden terrace..very nice with the summer breeze..had some italian wine..Chianti..."Castello di Fonterutoli "..very full bodied...yum..I had a salad plus beef carpaccio..but the real deal was the desert ..a warm banana tart with ice cream on top AND a nice cup of espresso. Absolutely heavenly....

A very New York / Italian terrace

Terrace after dark (Sun sets at 9pm here)

"Barolo" on West Broadway...Fab place...

The oh so devlish Banana Tart + Ice cream & Lavazza espresso

Jap food.....mmmmMMMmmmMM....

















Emmmmms.. Sukiyaki pot prep...














I did not eat all this food I swear..there were like 13 more ppl with me














Don't ask me why I took this photo..



Quite an eventful weekend I must say.. Japanese food on Friday night..went to Frabrique (sucked)..went to windows.. left windows... went back to windows to find my friends..then went to "Siu Yeah" in "Sun Wang"..gosh felt like "Tsui Wah" ..that place!!

Saturday was work work work..then home..laundry..then World Cup...goooooo England!!! Then went to Bar Rouge eventho I was extremely tired..but I know Teresa will twist my neck if I don't go. It was a fun night..moderate drinking and lots of dancing..thats the way to go I think..

Sunday.. yoga.. then golf..eventho my ribs were still hurting.. After yoga..my ribs actually had a heated burning sensation..its prolly from the circulation ..I don't know..But for some reason..I kinda think it would heal it better.. then golf..I couldn't fully extend my swing coz of my ribs.. and some guy next to my lane..couldn't bear my posture and started coaching me.. gosh ..now I have to relearn it again...urghhhhhhh....!!! Hopefully I'll get a coach if I get my salary next month..lols

But of coz I have snowboarded before...

So I went to snowboarding for the first time today..(i can hear the audience gasping and shaking their heads in disblief)..since when is it a crime for an individual who had lived in Toronto for half of their life has never tried snowboarding / skiing? huh??? Tell me... To make my whole experience more eerie than it is.. I had my first go of the sport in a pretty skimpy indoor place in Shanghai...think smelly equipment with no ski lift..oh wait they did have one..but its so crappy I just refuse to believe that it is a ski lift.

Snowboarding is considered an extreme sport for various reasons.. sometimes its extremely dangerous..but yet extremely fun eventho you're in extreme pain. Let me explain...

After my short intro lesson.. I had a few runs in the bunny slopes.. then I decided to go to the intermediate level (where the sign clearly saids beginners or ppl who can't stop or ppl who can't turn should not enter) But..come on.. knowing my mischevious and adventurous nature ..PLUS..snowboarding is all about looking good..rolling and falling down the slope looks way better then going down a bunny slope at grandma speed. So I went down.. the first few times was alrite..I mean of coz i fell and tumbled a bit ..but no biggie ..it was still fun.. Then about on the 5th or 6th go.. I freakin skidded on the far left and fell on some hard snow..I did like 2 somersaults I think..and when I stopped I just naturally grabbed the sides of my ribs... and in my mind I was thinking boy this really hurts..damn it..while on the other hand I was thinking..falling and doing somersaults in a highly accelerated speed is actually quite exhilerating and quite fun..emmm..am I a masocist or something? Anyhoo after that.. my left ribs kinda hurt while I deep breathe and stuff so I decided to pratice turning on the bunny slopes again...then when it was about time to leave.. I went back to the intermediate slope to go for a few runs for the last time. Everything was ok until my last go.. it had to be like that..why..?? I freaking fell into the same spot..hitting the same spot (my left ribs)..but HARDERRRRRRR! It hurt so much I wanted to scream..but I couldn't..coz I guess the hit was so hard..I couldn't even breathe for like 5 seconds... Oi.....

Injury list
- Strained left ribs I think....can't hold my back straight widout pain..and it hurts even when i yawn...
- Bruise on left foot
- Bruise on left calve..with freaking warts (cox the Class A staff was nice enuff to help me tie the boots but he tied it too damn tight)

After dinner.. I then went for a massage..and the guy keeps telling me..whats wrong with u're neck, back ,spine and lower back..they're all so stiff? I tried to mumble something back but didn't coz I was too busy try to hold my breathe thru all the pain.. but in my mind i was thinkin... neck..prolly coz my head was diving and rollin around in the snow so much..back..prolly coz the back is right next to my ribs???..Spine..think i landed on that during my somersaults at some point..lower back..hell I have no idea..

It was worth it tho...I spose..coz now when ppl ask me..I can say "Oh yes..but of coz I snowboarded before.. you silly...!!"

Yawnnnnn..I'm tired..(Grabbing ribs)..Doh!!!

第五日 - 再去 Poolside dip 一 dip ..就番home lu ...



Boy did I have a blast at Thailand!!!! A bunch of us close buddies went to this resort in Hua Hin , it was called Anatara and it was absolutely fabulous. The weather was nice, food was cheap, I got a nice tan.. perfect vacation. The room that I stayed in sorta had this little backyard patio, and we would sip wine and chat whilst listening to the waves. How heavenly is that??

The first day I arrived I sorta had this incident... I was trying on my 100 dollar brand new Roxy bikini, the front metally / plasticky part that was holding the whole thing togther just snapped!! I was pretty pissed and disapointed..since it never got chance to even touch the water..but then I was also VERRRRRRRRRY relieved that it didn't snap while i was swimming or something.... Horrific..Anyhoo..i borrowed Wincy's swimming suit then totally chilled out at the pool..Gosh...I think Pool side bars prolly rank next to Internet on "Best Inventions Ever"

I also went golfing during my trip..my first time on the green.. I had no idea what the hell I was doing at first but then I sorta got the feel for it..and we had a nice coach who kept pushing us.. 150 for my first time..I think I did not too shabby since I was a sore sight to bear whilst in the driving range. It was soo much fun except for the part where we had to wait 30mins for our cab and mosquitoes were feasting on my legs since I was dumb enuff to wear shorts. I got soooooooo grumpy and fiesty. After playin..we all went to town to shop..and under the intoxiation of the brief illusion that I was pretty good at golf.. I bought a pair of Addidas golf shoes and a La Coq Sportif Golf T-Shirt. Yeah yeah....just shut up right now.. What you wear is what you are essentially... And of coz..I will be a better player if I wear all that crap... LOLS

Yes..the trip had a perfect mixture of fun, sun , shopping, good food and alcohol! Can't wait for our next trip..maybe during summer next year??? BTW

CONGRATS TO RIC AND CONSTANCE..you guys are the ideal dream couple!!!

















The heavenly Anatara Resort

The Pros and Cons for having a temp roomie

So my friend is staying with me for a while coz he's searching for an apartment, gosh its been ages since I've had a roomate, ever since university....anyway..its all coming back to me right now...ah...

Roomie buggers
- Answers your HOME phone for you and informs your aunt that you're at the Gym (I mean.. I myself don't even answer my phone..and whats up with the privacy thing..)
- Can't walk around the apartment naked anymore (I mean I don't do that a lot..just that I don't have that privelage anymore)
- Has to listen about their love life when you don't have one yourself


Roomie hoorahs
- Someone to share a bottle of "Mumms Champagne" every other night (Wait a minute...im not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing)
- Cleans, Mops and buys Cheerios...(awww so nice!!!)
- Watches movies and sitcoms together and share some laughs
- Stays at home for you and to wait for the maintence guy to fix your stupid exploding water pipes (God..I DON'T want to get into that story..)

Hrrmmm..I guess roomies are neither good nor bad ..I spose...Lols..

Begone...Wind Demon!!!

風邪/Kaze is Japanese for a Cold, and literally in Chinese Kanji, Kaze means "Wind Demon".

I've been sick for about a month now, sneezing, congested, body pains. Absolutly agonizing! Altho, somebody told me that my eyes are gleaming when I'm sick, but let me tell ya, the eyes are actually illuminated by viruses which attack my nasal area mercilessly, hence creating the runny nose, cough and watery eyes.

Plus, I don't think I would ever go to see a doctor in China, coz I don't really feel like having an IV put into me coz of a measly cold.

Anyway..time to do some exorcism... "Begone..wind demon... begone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


Miho: Sometimes, I don't even kno what I'm saying and I get lost in my own thoughts. So i'm in no position to explain my last post..LOLS. Another party at your place sounds good actually, it would be fun. Oh..and btw..stop starting every MSN conversation with "That fucking italian guy" or "Can I kill him"..just find u're inner tranquility or something..

Self-induced vertigo

Last night I was watching the "Stephanie Suen" conert on DVD and I came across my favourite song. I remember I obsessed about that song like 3 years ago, like kept listening to it again and again.

It's such a depressing song, I would totally like feel down and depressed everytime I listen to it. Knowingly so, I kept repeating the song this morning. Hrmm .. I guess sometimes its good to get depressed on purpose so you would remind yourself of how it feels like so that you won't want to feel like that again? Okay..I feel like I'm Woody Allen here.. Does anyone follow??

The Song


Wren: I can't help it that I'm popular worldwide and *Slap*. No one talks shit about my Onitsuka Tigers..NO ONE! LOLS..
LB: I'll spell things the way I want to ...mmmm kay? I can even spell u're name backwards if I wanted to.. BL... there..see..

From Ueno back to Xui Jia Hui

The journey ended as abruptly as it started....This time was my 6th time travelling to Tokyo, maybe this time I was so rushed during the process, I didn't really feel the excitment of travelling to a new place. Rather, when I arrived and roamed about the streets, I felt a sense of returning and belonging rather then venturing into something new. Nonetheless, it was a blast....

Friday - I arrived and met Miho in Roppongi Hills, then she took me to her office (which infact is totally not what I would expect as it was such a casual enviroment). I had a cup of coffee then walked to Omesanto Hills for shopping, walking and walking... I went to Laforet (one of my fave shopping places in Harajuku) Altho Miho offered to teach me how to return to her office thru JR, I thought maybe I'll just walk back. And boy, how I regretted that. Not only, did I realized it was like a 40mins walk but also I passed by a cemetery during nite..Scarry..anyway we then met up Naoko, Meg chan and Roku for dinner at a restaurant called Sin and it was delicous. We drank and we chatted..and at some point they were talkin in Japanese..whereby I answered them..lols..they were pretty suprised how I could understand them a bit now. After that, we took a TAXI home, and I feel sooooooo rich, coz a taxi in Japan is prolly 1000000000 times more expensive then in Sha. When I arrived to Miho's home, I was pretty suprised how "Japanesie" it was. I felt like "Ding Dong"(I will only call it by that name and not Doreamon) will slip out of her wardrobes. Then we moved the furniture about so that I would have a place to sleep..and while we were moving the sofa..I noticed something on the floor..I will not say what..but Miho..I think you should be more tidy.

Saturday - Woke up late and went to Dakayama for shopping, I went to my greatest love "Onitsuka Tiger" store, I wanted to buy like 3 pairs but I refrained myself. I realized I'm pretty content just admiring them and gasping, maybe I'll just wait a bit till I'm more financially stable. I think i browsed all the shoes twice carefully examining them, I was there for at least 40 mins. Anyway after that, I went to have dinner with Miho's frds, Kame san, 直也(I can't seem to memorize his name in Japanese but in Kanji), Kentaro and Tsuyo. We had dinner till like 1am, then went to Fuji Soba and had midnight snack then all went back to Miho's and partied till 4am. Gosh..I was so tired I didn't even try to make sense of what they were talkin about..then I just zoned out. But it was loads of fun!!!

お疲れ様です、美帆さん! Thanks for such a great stay in Japan, and sure let's do the long-distance roomate thing, I will be waiting for u're extra key..ne! LOLS

Golden Week HKG - Part II. Bobopang

Part II - Bobopang

Oh gosh.. I had the best time on Saturday taking Siu Bo out to the beach..soooooo cute...she kept on swimming to just follow me around. Apparently, a lot of you hate it when I refer to bobo when I talk to you guyz on the phone. Somebody even told me that I always say "Oh... so cute.. bobopang is looking at me right now", and they think its not anything out of the ordinary, when your pet looks at you once in a while. BUT, bobo gives the cutest stare...OKAY?? Anyway.......To summarize Golden Week HKG- Bobopang , 3 chinese words... "卦到爆" !!!!!!!!!

Golden Week HKG - Part I. Family, Friends and Foes

So Wren msned me this today and logged off, goes
"Stupid bitch update your blog..." , SOOOO here I am. Well actually I wanted to update it anyways, but I've just been sick since I got back.

Part 1 - Family, Friends and Foes

Well.. during my short trip to HKG, I saw my family quite a bit, BB's bday party then went "yum cha" with my aunt. It was fun to see a bunch of relatives, my aunt gave me some "5 flower tea" to bring back to SHA to make, but then I think I might have did the whole thing wrong and self-posioned myself. Anyway...... I just have been experiencing a heavy load of family problems lately..its like a burden of which I am incapable of solving... so what now then..?

Friends, friends, friends....My definition of a true buddy:
1.Realizes that you are drunk, then yells at you and scold you for it, eventho you will have no memory of it the other day
2.Lends you a foot for your back to lean on while you are trying to kneel down and throw up on the street
3.Takes you home AGAIIIIIN, coz you got drunk last time during your farewell party too
4.Holding a bag for you to throw up during the taxi ride ...ewwww ..(feel really bad about that one)
5. So faye=medium=Kim ju woo

Again and again.. I didn't have enough time to see everyone. For those who I had a chance to meet, I've enjoyed every single moment. Ritz Carlton Buffet goes into my CLASSIC moments of life.

Foes...I didn't really get a chance to annilate my enemy..but he did verbally abuse me for like 15 mins non-stop after drinks in Inside-out. But then.... Da BITCH.. bit me on my arm.. I guess I should be grateful that she didn't rip it off.

Dreams within dreams within dreams

I woke up at 5am this morning.. with no aparent reason..drank some water..then went back to sleep again. Then I started to have those really realistic dreams that I hate...

I dreamt that I was sleeping in my room, the dream had vivid depictions of my room, it was as if I was lookin at myself on the outside. I'll spare you all the other details..anyway..in my dream which i was sleeping..i felt like i couldn't wake up..then there came a point.. which in my mind I've come to realize..wait ..this is a dream..this is not really happening..but i do REALLY want to wake up now..

of coz my wonderful mind gave me no gratification to this...i did NOT wake up..but jumped into another dream..of which i was AGAIN..sleeping in my bedroom...then i heard some noises in the apartment upstairs..and then some water started to leak from the roof....the water spashed on my bed..and i was entirely soaked from top to bottom....in my dream i honestly thought that the sprinkler came off..so i checked if anything was on fire in my apartment.. but everything was ok..

So how did I eventually wake up from all this mind-twisting madness? "Le Alarm"... yes thank goodness for it..sometimes i really wonder if I would be trapped in that dreamworld forever.. i mean time doesn't really exists in dreams..its irrelevant...

I was totally exhausted this morning..i think my mind was even more tired than that if I were awake the whole nite..

Anyway..with my inquisitive nature.. a few questions comes to my mind...

1. Why do I dream that I dream?
2. Why do I dream that I dream, and in the dream I can't wake up from my dream?
3. Why is it that when my rational thinkin kicks in, and that I realize I'm only in a dream dreaming that I can't wake up but in fact I may have the power to wake up, but then I don't really wake up and jump into another dream, of which then I woke up in the dream, in the uttermost painful way?

This is what I think..but feel free to differ

1. I think i dreamt that I dreamt is coz prolly I woke up at 5am, and the mind is subconsiously telling me I need more sleep. But then that TOTALLY back-fired coz I got more exhausted from all the subtext.

2. Again.. maybe I think its telling me to rest more..but then the dream in dream thingy freaked me out..and I really wanted to wake up..

3. Maybe coz I was in really light sleep, and I was in between conscience and subconscience, and that my mind was trying to crumble the dream world thru rational thinking, it sorta worked half-way, like it granted me to wake up in the dream but not in real life. I think its prolly like a power struggle between conscience and subconscience..and I was the innocent by-stander

With the Q&A , it leads to the ultimate question, who is in charge of my mental process????????
Well....beats the hell outta me..coz i just kno Tis' not I who is in charge...coz I'm just a powerless sucker...and now I declare that I am no longer held responsible for any decisions that I make

A Sonnet for the NC

Fellow NC members and VP Woogie, I would like to dedicate this sonnet by Bill Shakespeare to you.
Let's hang it in the foyer of our clubhouse...

Sin of self-love possesseth all mine eye,
And all my soul, and all my every part;
And for this sin there is no remedy,
It is so grounded inward in my heart.
Methinks no face so gracious is as mine,
No shape so true, no truth of such account,
And for my self mine own worth do define,
As I all other in all worths surmount.
But when my glass shows me my self indeed
beated and chopt with tanned antiquity,
Mine own self-love quite contrary I read:
Self, so self-loving were iniquity.
'Tis thee (my self) that for my self I praise,
Painting my age with beauty of thy days.

秋来不在夏尽处

秋来不在夏尽处..意思是说不是夏天结束的时候秋天才来, 而是在夏天里已酝襄秋的气息.

我在看"失乐园"的时候看到的, 先至声明, 我初初并不知道这部书是那么色情的!! 但是我真的觉得作者形容这种不能自拔的不伦恋很厉害. 其实2个主角挺可怜的, 他们的爱情根本是空空的, 所以只能用sex来substantiate the emptiness吧!!

秋来不在夏尽处..实在是形容男主角的心情..由于他跟主角的关系是太好了..所以他就是害怕他们的爱情是不是已经在不知不觉之间慢慢的变差了. 人的本性就是这样吧..往往在最开心的时候就开始害怕, 因为是了解每一种东西和每一种关系都是有一个life cycle的,在最高峰的时候,再往前,就只能向下去.

好像自古有一个说法. "妻不如妾, 妾不如情人, 情人不如妓, 妓不如偷". 偷情对人来说是最吸引的. 是因为世界只是属于2个人, 完全没有外来的因素, 而彼此的爱也是纯真的吧. 但是我真的觉得2个主角一旦被发现的代价是太大, 有家庭, 工作 etc. 世上其他的所有真的不再全在的吗?这种intensity太厉害了,亦都太可怕了.
