MULE

Unexpected things always happen. How do you cope with things that you have already forgotten or you think it is over? Sometimes being kind-hearted can bring you trouble especially those people who know your weakness. When someone is as stubborn as mule that irritates you, is an escape a good way?

OUTBACK

Dinner at Outback Steakhouse with friends. It was my first time to eat there. I'm not that into steak and fried food but recently I have eaten too much Asia food, I got a little bit tired of it. We ordered Popcorn Shrimp, Rip with Wing Combo, Bushman 'Shrooms, Caesar Salad, Sirloin and Seafood pasta. I liked the popcorn shrimp and the pasta. Sirloin was great too!! It's good to eat food like that occassionally. After dinner we had dessert at Moon House, it was rare that we didn't need to wait for long time and we had nice seats.

I found this world is really small. Have you ever thought two different groups of your friends may know each other but you don't know?

KANATIN COMIQ

My Japanese friend has come to Hong Kong for vacation. We had dinner at Chon Wo Korean Restaurant. The environment wasn't really good, it was too noisy to talk. I'm surprised that my friend knows so many thing about Hong Kong! Such as the newest entertainment news and even the case of "Bus Uncle"! She is fanatical about Hong Kong! I got her handwrite comic books and her drawing is cute!

GLOOMY SUNDAY

Someone told me the story of a haunting song "GLOOMY SUNDAY", it's a song written by a Hungarian painist Rezso Seress in 1933. It is also called "Suicide Song" because over a hundred people felt too depressing and committed suicide after listening to it. It seems like this song was being cursed. Seress's fiancee left him so he wrote this song to win her heart back but she also committed suicide after listening to it.

I'm curious about the power of this Suicide Song, I've listened the original Hungarian version, the piano instrument version and other English versions, I think this song is very impressive. It's a very blue song and I like the melody. But what make people suicide? I can't believe music can kill anyone. Or may be today is a sunny Sunday and I'm not in blue mood so I can't feel the power of this song :P

HAIR TRIM, TOLERABLE

I had hair trim today. I'm not so satisified with it. I asked my hairdresser not to cut more than 1 inch but he cut more than that! It's not too bad but not I expected. It's not easy to find a good hairdresser that fit your style. Sometimes the hairdresseres make you a neat haircut but sometime they make you a bad hairstyle. May be hairdresseres' skills are more unstable than the weather. Someone told me not to have hair cut in the morning and at night because in the morning, the hairdresser hasn't warmed up yet and at night he is too tired since he has trimmed many customers. I think it's quite true coz I went to the salon at night!!

PEKING GARDEN RESTAURANT

Dinner with boss, Japanese guests and colleagues at Peking Garden Restaurant. It's my 2nd time to eat there. I don't think local people usually go to this restaurant. Half of guests are foreigners. The food was quite good but it was expensive. I liked the Pecking Duck, Shark Fin's soup, Sweetened Vinegar Pawns and fish. The small steamer buns were quite good. I get tired of Cantonese cuisine, so it's good to eat Beijing food occassionally. But if I dine out with my friends or family, I would never choose this restaurant :P It's a restaurant for foreigners!

ARROGANCE

I don't understand why some people can be so arrogant and rude. Do they not know what is modest? Do they think they are superior than everyone else? It's good if someone who has self-confidence but arrogant doesn't mean self-confidence!! If someone who doesn't have quality, please shut up and don't pretend you know and you are good at everything!! Arrogant people are so intolerable!! It really annoys me. I think people who are arrogant is too self-centered and egotistical, arrogance is a cover for insecurity. True self-confidence is quiet and calm, it doesn't brag or swagger or insult people.

JIN LUO BAO KOREAN RESTAURANT

Dinner at Jin Luo Bao Korean Restaurant with colleagues. It's a good quality Korean BBQ restaurant. We ordered a lot of food like starters, barbecue beef ribs, raw beef, cold noodles, soup and fishes. It was so delicious!! And thanks for our Korean colleague, she bargained with the Korean manager, so we ordered 1 Korean wine and got 2 free!! :) It's my favourite Korean wine "Sansachun"!!

After dinner we went for Karaoke. It's a Japanese Karaoke box and it is for member only. None of us is member but my Japanese colleague told the rececption that she had been there once and then they allowed us to get in LOL Seems it's not really for member. I prefer Hong Kong Karaoke box more coz I couldn't find any new cantonese songs at the Japanese Karaoke Box :P And most of the Chinese songs are Mandarin!!

GIVE ME A BREAK

Give me a break!! I get sick of it and I feel reluctant to do things that I'm not interested. Do the right things in the right time! Even if you are interested in it, but if you are not in mood or it's not a right time, you can't do things well. Just like I like photography but I hate rainy days, you think I am willing to take pics under the rain? Unless you drag me out or I'm in happy mood! Got it?

MARK SIX LOTTERY

Won Mark Six lottery!! But only $20... Better than nothing... Thanks god!! Save the luck for next time!!The next prize fund is $68,000,000!! I'm not a greedy person, 2nd prize is still ok for me ;) But of course I love 1st prize!!! What are the lucky numbers?

KUSHIYAKI

Shopped around Lamgham Palace and then settled for dinner at Kushiyaki becoz I had no idea where to eat at Mongkok. But this restaurant is suck!! Bad and slow service, how come they needed nearly an hour for only servering few dishes? The food quality was poor and not fresh enough. It's not worth for this cost. This restaurant annoyed me a lot and I think eating Wonton noodles is better than eating there!

DEATH NOTE

Watched DEATH NOTE today. It was interesting! I have never read the comics and had no idea of this story but it was entertaining. Death Note from the Death? Isn't it a great power to control one's death? I'm looking forward to watch the sequel! Why recently the film makers like to split one film into two? Just want to break the top box office? As an audience, I really don't like that unless the sequel would be released next month :P

Dinner at YMT and we had Chiuchou cuisine. It was a very traditional Chiuichou food stalls and we had oyster pancake, pig blood curds, squid, pig instestine, Chinese red sausages and broccoli. The food was ok but it was too greasy.

After dinner we went to Lan Kwai Fong and had a drink at Insomnia. There was live band show but I didn't know most of the songs. I rarely listen English pop songs :P Next time I should choose a Jazz bar. Saturday night is really busy in LKF, people are playing hunting game, are they?

BOMB PLOT

Obviously the terrorists have never thought to give up taking revenge on United States and United Kingdom. They have plotted the bomb attack when everybody is not so alert. It is amazed that those suicide bombers love their race more than their lives. They planned to carry out the atrocities and give a wake up call to the world of tragedy 9/11 but nothing they can win for doing this.

The airport security measures becomes very stringent, no hand luggage, no liquids, no electrical equipment (including iPod, cameras and mobiles!). What else can we bring? It can only reduce the possibility of the jet attack, how about train, ferry or bus attacks?

May be United States should reconsider about their "Democracy" but not just declare "War on Terrorism".

PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime . . . Lead me, save me from my solitude . . .

Watched Phantom of the Opera Musical tonight, it was excellent!! The stage effect was amazing and impressive. Phantom's deep touching voice was near perfection. I like the final scene in the cave with Raoul, Christine and The Phantom, it made my emotionally driven. It's worth to pay so much to watch this musical.

The only impection was the chandelier, it wasn't as grand as I thought. I watched the film version of POTO, the chandelier was so beautiful but this one didn't look so good. Anyway it was AWESOME!!

++ the chandelier ++

WATCH & TIME

Time is on your side but time files when you are having fun. Are you racing againt the clock? Keep the watch on your hand!

BUSY FRIDAY

I have been so busy at work this week!! The new staff will come to work at the end of August, that means I won't be free this month! How come my company is willing to wait for the candidate for a month? Only becoz she is also working in the comestic purchasing profession? Or she impressed the boss much during the interview? I wish she could come earlier so she can share our workload! Or give me a break!

TAKASEI + Pirates of the Caribbean

I heard many people comment that Sushi Takasei is delicious so I had dinner there tonight. We ordered "Omakasei" Sushi Fuji, "Omakasei" Sashimi, Tempura eel and spiral shells. The toro sashmi and sea urchin are soooo fresh and delicious!! The toro was just like melting in my mouth!! Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ But the things that I don't like is the waitness were too attentive and they kept their eyes on their customers so it made me feel uneasy. I felt like being monitored.


After dinner going to watch Pirates of the Caribbean 2, I had a high expection on it but I think the 1st one was better than this one. I'm slightly disappointed with the sequel. The acting was good but the story wasn't outstanding, it was tolerable. I like the actors more than the film. Overall, it is worth seeing. I do looking foward to seeing the 3rd one and hopefully it would be better.
