Lost in Deportation?

Life works in mysterious ways, personally I often feel very alienated in airports or on plane rides. I'm sure I have been on planes at least a couple hundred times, and the feeling is still the same. Its probably because airports/planes often signifies that you are leaving someplace or someone behind. My soul would often have a sense of vacantness or emptiness during the time between airport to airport.

Well today, I rather had a very interesting experience in this PVG airport. When I got off the plane in PVG, I dashed as always to the immigration(I know my ways in this airport, I know the quickest lane out etc etc) I stood in line flilled in my form..and franticly trying to get my ID out it time. Alas.. its my turn..but wait..where is my ID.. I dug and I dug...nothing.. its ok..I'll just stand aside (but still in line of coz)..and wait till I find it. Minutes passed, the immigration officer told me to go to the back of the room so that I could find space to open my carry on luggage to continue to find my ID. Sigh.. well.. no choice then. So I walked back to the end of the room....

Half an hour later, I painfully realised that I lost my China ID card. So I walked to the guard on the side and told him my situation, there he radio-ed someone..saying I lost my card..and told me that the ground crew will try to check on it . 20mins later..this other lady..came to him and told him the same case, apparently she has a flight to catch at 9pm, it was just 4:30 by then so still tonnes of time. Then after a while I realised that there is this girl..that was sort of waiting too. Then she started to grow very impatient then not long after the crew returned her passport back to her. So in my mind, I was thinking hmm..so ok..it can't be too bad..."ERRRRRRRRtTTTT" ..wrong..

So after 2 hrs or People's Magazine and Vogue reading, I chatted up the lady who also lost her passport. And I asked the guard, is there any possibility fo rme to go thru. The FM(Shanghai Airlines) person finally came to find me, and accompanied to the visa office. Well let me tell you folks.. HK ID doesn't mean shit..in China..eventhough I told them that i had another ID which was my working permit, but it was in my office, they did not care. And for you Canadians out there, you are not welcome here either, eventhough we are the friendliest bunch. Your passport doesn't mean shit either without a visa. So now that I realized I have no alternate way to charm my way thru the customs... I call my BOSSSSSSS...which I really didn't want to do... and she goes.. why didn't you tell me earlier??? And now..my cell is out of battery and reach.. so she sent a person from MU to take care of me..and that she can call that person's cell to get in touch.

Now..my stupid plane had already turned around to HKG, so i have to wait for the news if they found my ID or not. The last flight back to HK is 8:30, and the plane would touch down in HK is 7:30, so it means if they can find it, then I don't have to go back. But if they don't, I have to catch the plane back to HK. DRAMA......

And from all this time, I was chatting up with the security guard. So what do to talk about with someone in which you find that you have absoulutly nothing in common with?? "The development of Shanghai, AND Celebrity gossip" Thank god for the tabloids...

So its around 8, and I finally recieved news that they found my ID, from the MU person, not FM. Then the whilst sitting and waiting for my ID to get on the return - return flight, which is due to arrive at 11:00, 2 MU managers came down to find me, then brought me to the VIP lounge in the departure hall, I went thru stairs with the security, went thru the security post, put my stuff thru the metal detectors AGAIN, i didn't have my boarding pass, so the MU ppl just goes..she's a passenger, and they let me in. Then we walked to the VIP lounge with coffee tea snacks and internet access.

Morale of the story "Don't be an idiot and lose your freaking traveling docs, and know the right people if you are in China"

Tenderness

Excerpt from Life is Elsewhere, Milan Kundera

Tenderness comes into being at the moment when life propels a man to the threshold of adulthood, and he anxiously realizes all the advantages of childhood he had not appreciated as a child.

Tenderness is the fear instilled by adulthood.

Tenderness is the attempt to creat a tiny artificial space in which it is mutually agreed that each will treat the other like a child.

Tenderness is also fear of the physical consequences of love; it is an attempt to take love out of the world of adults (where it is insidious, coercive, heavy with flesh and responsibility) and to consider a woman as a child.

Dreamsssss

Ok..so someone said I should document my dreams ..coz apparently they're kinda funny...
Anyway..so here goes.. last nite was kinda weird to me as I guess I had approximately 50 dreams last nite..I kinda slept.. had like 2-3 dreams..woke up..then tried to sleep again coz i was tired..toss and turned..then had a few more dreams..woke up..then u get the picture. I　think I never got to my deep sleep cycle cos my dreams were too intense.

Dream #1 - Maybe I've been watching Nip tuck too much..and I personally think Joey Yung has overexposure in media. I dreamt that the bad boy Edison posted a picture of Joey on his infamous blog, of which that pic shows that she was sleeping but then she had these lines drawn on face..like those on plastic surgery. Then she goes on TV telling everyone sayting that she swears to God that she had not have any work done on her..Interstingly enough ..the only thought that was going thru my head was.."Damn..that new hair do looks good on her..I should get something like that..."
Yeah Yeah.. when I woke up from that dream I also had the thought that I was a "Inconsiderate souless vain bitch"

Dream#2 - Now this is some scarry shit, let me tell ya. I had this dream that I was sleeping in my Shanghai apartment. And out of nowwhere I feel a man's hand on my chest (not breast..but chest)..needlessly to say I panicked..coz even in a dream..I figured that for that hand to be placed that way..that man must be inside my walls or something. Then I tried to get up..but I couldn't cos the hand was pushing me down hard and I was paralysed..then I tried to push it off but then it grabbed my hand..i struggled and struggled and finally woke up..then found that my own right hand was placed on my chest..and the feeling that I had in the dream was caused by my own right hand..its kinda heavy you kno...so then i went "CHIUUUUUUUUUUUUUU... ho choi jek"..which is.."Phewwwwwwwwwwwwww.....!!!!!!!!!"

Dream#3 - By this time I have already had been tossing and turning had a lottta dreams.. then I dreamt that I woke up..brushed my teeth...put on my contacts...changed clothes... ONly to find out by my alarm..that I had to do it all over again..
Well... sucksss to be me..

Revolution... starts wid me

"Two nations between whom there is no intercourse and no sympathy..... Who are as ignorant of each other habits, thoughts, and feelings as if they were inhabits of different planets"
Sybil - 1845

This quote was written to express the escalating gap between the rich and poor during the industrial revolution. And I must say, it quite represents what I am experiencing now, no.. I'm not saying that I'm rich or something. Working in China is a very difficult task, I often find myself working with staff who seems like they are on an other planet. Its quite hard to break the normal conformation, expectations and mindframe. Its may sound like a simple task.. "To Motivate"... but how can you "Shift a paradigm?" and also..how long would it take? I don't know it is possible or how long it would take...but i'm commited to change this....

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places

No change, I can't change I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mold I am here in my mold
But I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no

Well I never pray
But tonight I'm on my knees yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
But the airways are clean and there's nobody singing to me now

No change, I can't change I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mold I am here in my mold
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no

I can't change I can't change
'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Try to make ends meet
Try to find some money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places where all the things meet yeah

You know I can't change, I can't change I can't change, I can't change

What can I say..its one of my all time favorites..came across it recently again. And it still feels the same..Coldplay.. Keane.. can't compare..

Da bitch of all Bitches

Anyway, so I went on this “GUILT TRIP” last last Wednesday, I flew to Tokyo just to see Madonna's last concert of her tour. Nooooooooo… Im not a rich bitch.. it was just one of those things that I did spontaneously ..a spur of the moment decision..and now I’m knee high in debt. Hence, I feel guilty. The show was pretty amazing, eventho she was like the size of my finger tip from the seat that I were at, Yup..they cost about USD150 too. Everyone was enjoying the show, and I can't help but think to myself, wow..its Madonna, the bitch of all bitches, the whore of all whores. So they estimated that for one concert she makes USD 100million?? GOD..she's even a more marketable brand than Coke and Mc D's. 2 hours of singing and dancing and 100mil? And of course she was fashionably late but no one cared coz she was “Madonna”. Boy..life is just unfair.

On top of the tickets, air tickets, food etc, of coz I overindulged myself thru shopping .. Urgh…another example of totally zero self restrain.
Sigh.. if only I said “..It's just Madonna” instead of “OMG..Madonna concert??” when my hairstylist was telling me that she was going to Tokyo 4 weeks ago. Turn back time…


My shit from Japan Trip..Damn you Madonna ...DAMNNNNN you

HKG makes bobo very very sick...

Drinking is bad for you... I kno.. or do I? So this was my schedule during my stay..

• 9/29 - Drink till 3am in Census
• 9/30 - Karoke party, drink till 5am
• 10/1 - BBQ party at my home, drink till 3am
• 10/2 - Drink till 2am at TST
• 10/3 - Stayed home coz had an intense fever
• 10/4 - Dinner with dwin
• 10/5 - Drinks in CWB, went to sugar afterwards
• 10/6 - Karoke party, drink till dawn..Arghhhhhh
• 10/7 - Drink till 4am in CWB

Except for the 2 days that I was extremely sick, I had alchohol in my system...not too good..I'm still sick. Well.. I think most of you will agree the highlight of my trip was prolly my bbq, sylvia and I had a recap of the bbq that lasted an hour.. and after talking to more and more friends who came to my BBQ, I found out more things that occured..hrmmmmMMmm. I apparently did the following, bit a few ppl (first I lure them in by giving em kisses, then I make the killer bite), kick fought with Wincy (I didn't remember that, but she showed me bruises the other day, and I had some too), threw cups over the fence..one was apparently still full and it splashed on Sylvia's face, she shouted profanity at me, then I just ran away, I also hopped around, jumping about like a monkey for over an hour, kicked AND threw some chairs .. I heard I broke it too, someone told me I was talkin to myself one point... From what I heard, I put on a pretty good show for all my guests, I'm actually very lovable as a raving lunatic. And you know what ppl, my dad told me the other day that we were REALLY REALLY LOUD...lols...and the neighbour gave me a nasty look when I said Hi the next morning.
Anyhoo...then I got really really sick... shivered and quivered for 2 days...poor me!..But I couldn't stop drinking..so keep going out admidst of my sickness...

I just wanna say ONE thing....

"Yeah!!!!!!!"

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
