NeW bAlaNcE + rOxY

I finally bought a pair of sneaker and an umbrella! I wanna buy them long time ago since I haven't had my pay yet :P Nothing is better than buying something for myself and make myself happy :) I hate rainy days but now I expect raining coz I am tempted to use my new umbrella. Hopefully it will rain on Tuesday coz I don't want the rain ruin my long weekend :P

It is always good to hear news from old friends. I just got messages from an old friend and I feel like we haven't contacted for ages. When did we talk last time? I can't remember. Sometimes when you start not contact much your friends, you will become oblivious and seems like your friends are walking out from your life. But when you hear from them, you will feel so happy that they are fine. It's a good way to send e-mails or messages to your friends from time to time so they won't forget you. Thank you for this old friend reminding me that! :)

Everyone has weakness. Some people look like they are always tough and seems nothing can affect their life and emotions. But may be inside they are very emotional. It's all about how you control your mind and feelings. I usually think the best way to hide your weakness is never let others know what's on your mind especially your competitors. Being weak is quite sissy, agree?

BNO Renewal

I have been hesitating to renew my BNO passport or not. I have my SAR passport and many people think it's kind of wasting money to renew it. Finally I decided to renew it even it's expensive. You can say I still have a great affection for Britain even Hong Kong has returned to China for many years. I still don't like to admit I'm CHINESE. I'm definately a local HONG KONGER. I don't really think BNO passport is superior, but SAR passport makes me feel like it's Chinese passport!

I've compared with BNO and SAR passport, there are over 20 countries that providing visa-free acess for BNO passports. Most of them are African countries and I'm interested in these 3 countries: Costa Rica, Zambia and Guam. Although I've been to Guam already, I do think I will go again within 10 years. Costa Rica and Zambia are so beautiful and I do want to visit there. It's hard to say it's worth or not but I do have advantage to have 2 passports!

GivinG & ReceivinG

A friend reminded me that the balance of giving and receiving. There is no free lunch in the world, you can't be the one who only give or who only receive. The receiver is meant for being selfish or taking advantage, the giver is meant for being devoted or silly. The more the giver devotes, the more he/she feels recentful and unfair coz he/she gets nothing and he/she starts to doubt it's worth or not to be the giver. Of course there is exceptional case, but it's rare and I can only think of Jesus.

swimming@CLEAR WATER BAY

This is my 1st time to go swimming this year!! It was a nice warm sunny day. We went to Clear Water Bay. The water was so clear and cool! I couldn't believe it could be so clear! Last year when I went there, it was so dirty and crowded.

But I got sunburn :( I've already put on 50++ sunblock on my skin but it is useless on me!! My skin has become sore and red especially my back and my hip. I hardly lie down with my back :( I think I have to keep myself in for a while to recover, I really don't like to be tanned.

After swimming, we went for a ride in Sai Kung. It's so nice to sit in convertible but not really good for ladies coz the wind mess your hair! I really want to get a driving license but it's too hard to afford a car!

a SuNnY SaTuRdAy

The weather was so fine today! It made me want to do outdoor activities. But I played one and a half hour squash this morning. I can't believe I can play so long and I didn't feel too tired. It's better to play in the morning. Playing after work is too tiring. After playing squash, we shopped around and bought something. I bought a Puma Visor and a swimming suit. Summer is coming!! It's time for me to buy new clothes but I think I should wait until next month coz I've spent much money already. Sigh~

COWARD

I despise people for being cowards. It's kind of lacking in honesty and courage. Someone who doesn't dare to admit what he did or tries to shift the blame to someone else is really bad. It's ok to hestitate but never deny!

FEEL LIKE HOLIDAY

After a long weekend, I was reluctant to work this morning. I'm still in holiday mood and it's not easy to wake up in the early morning. I was surprised that my manager went to office on Sunday!! How could she manage it? I would be crazy if she asked me to work on holidays :P Luckily I don't have as much workload as her.

TI CLASSMATES GATHRING

Dinner at Fat Angelo with TI friends. It was great to meet old friends. I didn't realise we have graduated for 7 years. Time really runs so fast. Seems we all haven't changed much. It was so funny to talk about the past institute life and recently life. I feel like I was back to those happy days in institute. Nearly half of us are working something related to computing. Quite a lot, huh? I really can't remember what practical skills I learnt, what a shame to tell people I studied in computing :P

HAIR TRIM

++ my hairstylist and my friend ++

I had my hair trimmed today. Just want to make myself neat before getting smart ID card. I still think this hairstylist is the best. He is more fashionable and he understands my needs. I usually think hairstylists are just like magicians coz they can do something we can't do. Everytime after having haircut, my hair style looks good and neat but then on the next day, I can never make it like what my hairstylist did. What's the different with their hands and our hands?

DAY TRIP IN LAMMA ISLAND

++ Beach in Lamma Island ++

-

I had a day trip in Lamma Island today. We had a walk from Yung Shue Wan to Sok Kwu Wan and then had seafood dinner at night. The weather was so cloudy, I didn't have any mood to take pics. There were quite a lot people went to Lamma Island, obviously people want to escape from city during holiday. There were so many delicious food in Lamma Island!! I liked the Thai barbecue squids, "gramma's tofu" was also good. The seafood was great! We ate scallops, fried squids with Chilli & Salt, prawns, fried clams... Yummy Yummy :p

++ Old Lady is making malt sugar biscutes ++

GATHERING@SORABOL

Dinner out with friends at Sorabol Korean Restaurant. Haven't been there for ages, but the food isn't as good as before and it's quite expensive. Luckily my Korean colleague gave me her 15% discount VIP discount number =)

I got another singing dog! White and Black dogs can gather at last! I know Yiu only wanted to make fun on me for giving me the doggies but anyway thank you so much ;) They are so cute and soft! Hopefully they won't sing in the middle of the night :P

BOWLING

I haven't played bowling for many years. I still remember when I was in institute, I usually skipped the lessons and hung out with friends at bowling alley. Those days were really happy. It seems my skill isn't that bad though I haven't played for long time. At least I had few strikes and spares ;) I can't remember my best scores, but 139 scores is average? What is the total score? I don't know how to score, it's complicated to me. I'm even not sure how many pins are there :P It's not important though, what I need is to knock down all the pins ;)

Discontentment

Someone told me that he didn't feel quite well these days. It's not physical problem but the spiritual. I think I understand the way he feels. It's just like when everything in your life seems fine, like your job, your love, your family, your friends are all ok, you still don't feel content and you feel a little bit lose. You even feel like something has missed out but you can't tell what it is. May be humans are greedy, when the things are stable, you start to desire a new excitement. When the things aren't going well, you start to complain. I think taking a short break is the best solution. Just go somewhere far away, breathe some fresh air and refresh your mind.

Graves Sweeping

Went to visit grandparents' graves today. Luckily it wasn't too hot and too sunny. Actually I see this as a kind of boring relatives gathering. Those relatvies who only see twice a year, they usually say the similar stuff everytime we meet. Such as, "How's your job?" " You look slimmer/fatter than I saw you last time." "Do you take any course recently?" "How old are you now?" I feel a little bit irritated to answer these questions. Although they are my relatives, we are far more like relatives. Relative means nothing. Only people who have the same surname and same blood with you. Quite ridiculous, huh?

DRUNK

What is the defination of drunk? When you feel dizzy and you can't walk straight? You drink like a fish until you vomit? I think it's not easy to get totally drunk. I believe even if you are drunk, a little bit of your mind is still clear. May be when you are sober up, your mind is blank but it's impossible that you completely don't remember anything. I don't really believe "In Wine There is Truth" coz you never know someone is really drunk or not. So girls, never believe guys' honeyed words after they drink. It's not trustworthy!!

Michael will be BACK soon!

Just watch the interview of Michael Owen, I'm still not used to listen his accent. It's really not easy to undertsand. A good news is that he can be fit on playing World Cup! That's great!! There are friendly match on 30th May and 4th June at Old Trafford, can I get the ticket?

AIR JORDAN / PAY DAY

== My AiR jOrDan IV ==

My favourite Air Jordon IV basketball shoes are worn out! :( They have accompanied me for few years. I didn't expect they would worn out so soon since I haven't worn them much. I don't think I will buy a pair of new basketball shoes anymore coz I don't play basketball now. It's better to buy sneakers or casual shoes. I still remember why I bought this Air Jordon IV, it is the same reason that I bought my Nike watch :P Silly me :P

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

== WhEn Is PaY dAy? ==

I haven't got my pay yet!! It's 4th already!! I thought the account manager would make the cheque to me today! How unreasonable! Why I have to be treated like that? Last month she deposited my cheque wrongly into my colleague's bank account, don't tell me this month she made the same mistake! Why can't she be more efficient?

ALTAS / FUNNY DREAM

== AlTaS ==

Thank you for getting me this A-Z London Street Altas. It's a very user friendly map!! Although I'm not good at reading map, I'm sure I won't lose my way! :P The tube doesn't look that complicated, it's less complicated than Japan. But how come the railway is so complicated? It looks like a maze!!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

== FuNnY dReAm ==

Someone told me about her dream last night. She dreamed she was robbed by a old lady in the lift and the old lady hurted her with a knife. She resisted and wanted to fight back. When she gave the old lady a punch, she hitted the wall... The real wall which is next to her bed...She felt hurt and woke up! Hahahaaa I burst out laughing after hearing her funny dream!! So silly!!

KARAOKE NITE

Went to Karaoke and played Mahjong last night. It's really not enough for only singing 3 hours :P I'm really a bit lagging behind when it comes to Cantonese pop songs. I can't sing many new songs :P Fortunately I know who is the lastest fad right now. Justin's songs seem good, when will he has Part 3 concert?

I was quite bad luck on playing mahjong tonight. I couldn't concentrate and I didn't know what I was doing. How can you manage to chitchat and play mahjong at once?
