FRINGE CLUB LIVE JAZZ ORCHESTRA

Watched Live Jazz Orchestra at Fringe Club, it was great!! But the theatre was small and there were not enough seats so we had to stand all the way. But I enjoyed it!!

After watching the orchestra, we wanted to have a drink at LKF but all the pubs were full of people so we went to TST Ned Kelly's to have a drink, eat some snacks and enjoy Jazz band show again. It's really a good place to chitchat and relax!!

NASTY WORK

My company is expanding and there is reformation such as enhancing our brand and image to attract more customers. Our boss usually has many ideas and he's just taken over another company. That means our workloads are increasing. I got many meetings recently and I have to deal with some producing companies and stuff... It's ok I can deal with it.

But today got a really BAD news, my assistant just handed in her resignation letter!! Oh my godness!! She has worked for 2 months only!! She thinks her job is kinda boring and she wants to work in a sales and marketing team (but our company doesn't have sales and marketing department!!) I think she is quite smart and efficient and I was going to teach her more but now it's a problem for me if she is going to leave in a week. I have to take over all her work!!

My manager has some suggestions for me:

1) She has a middle-age Japanese friend, who doesn't know any Cantonese or English. My manager THINK she wouldn't mind to be my assistant and she can work well.
My opinion: I don't want a Japanese assistant it's only my manager thinks she is suitable. It's a big problem if she can't communicate with the non-Japanese speaking warehouse staffs and accountants. How can I order her to deal with things with other staffs?

2) Hiring a cheap local data entry assistant who doesn't speak Japanese. Or not to hire anyone but we all share the workloads.
My opinion: As my assistant, of course I prefer if she can speak Japanese and Cantonese, I don't want to translate everything all the time! I'm not a translator! If they don't hire another assistant for me, I don't think the other colleagues are free to take over some workloads! That means I have to do by myself!

As a conclusion, my company isn't willing to pay more to hire a better person. I'm sick to teach someone who doesn't work long. It's kinda wasting my time. What should I do? Doing all the work by myself?

NED KELLY'S

Chilling out at Ned Kelly's after French lesson. I wanted to go there long time ago since I knew there is Jazz live band show. Didn't plan to go there tonight but suddenly someone also wanted to go too so we went there to see how it is.

It's totally like a differnt world when I get into the pub. The woody decoration and atmosphere are good!! It's a how Jazz/Blues bar should feel like. Most of them are foreigners and middle-aged customers, they go there to enjoy the live Jazz music. We ordered few drinks, potato skins and salad. The potato skins were great but I didn't like the salad. Can't believe they made with canned tuna.

Live band show is from around 9.30pm - 1am. Luckily we booked the table, the pub was quite full! We had to share a table with 3 Dutch men. But they were nice and funny and they talked to us. I supposed they are also Jazz lovers! They even bought us drinks without telling us! I had great time and I love the live Jazz music!! It makes me want to learn saxophone so much!! I was in cheerful mood and I felt so relaxed. A great place to chill out!!

FEELING DOWN

Have been feeling a bit down recently... I'm unable to feel excited or energetic about anything... What should I blame? The bad weather? The nasty work or someone who doesn't do something constructive? It really irritates and frustrates me. A friend reckons I'm easy to be annoyed recently but I just can't help. Of course I want to be happy always but what should I be happy for?

RUSH HOUR 3

Watched RUSH HOUR 3 tonight. Not a best movie but it was funny!! There was no gripping storyline, the stunts were okay, just old tricks of Jackies'. Not much surprise and predictable ending but it was interesting. The jokes and gags make me laugh. The movie is a bit too American and I don't think French people would like it LOL

RIVIERA CÔTE D'AZUR

Joined a travel seminar of France today, it makes me want to travel to France so much!!! Know some more about the geography of France and the way to travel there by train. Seems it's not that difficult!! I have a clear picuture that where to visit!! Tho I'm not going to Europe this year, I can plan it for next year!! Paris, Riviera Côte d'Azur are a must go place!! Can't wait for my trip!!

After the seminar, dinner with friend at TST and then we went to Central and shopped around at H&M. New Autum and Winter clothes are released!! So fast!! It's still hot summer!! I found a nice coat but it's too hot to buy it right now... May be I should wait to buy it later. Then we had drinks at LKF, we drank 2 cocktails at The Fong and I got a bit tipsy. Fell asleep immediately when I got into the bus :P Luckily I still could get off the bus and go home :D

THE SIMPSONS MOVIE

THE SIMPSONS MOVIE was hilarious! I watched The Simpsons cartoons since I was very small so I hardly remember the personaility of the characters and the story. But I quite like the movie!! Homer does something truly thoughtless and stupid. It's a plain, simple comedy. A bit short tho it makes you laugh a lot!

TESTING PHOTOS

Having some tests on my camera, overall it's excellent!! It's complicated and I have to spend more time to figure out how to use!! Finally I can try to take some pics with depth of field. I have Snoopys to test with me :D The Snoopys are clear and the background is blurry, it's what I want but the Snoopys are not sharp enough. I think I didn't focus quite well. Need to practise more!!

CANON 400D

Yay here we go!! My *New Toy* Canon 400D!! I got it finally!! I have been waiting for few weeks!! :D And today I spent a lot!! I bought a camera bag, a 4G CF card and a 400D guide book, they are necessaries so I have to buy them... I'm so poor now!! But it's a thrilling day!! Can't wait to test my camera!! It feels so great to own a DSLR!! :D

NEW WATCH

Shopped around at MongKok and dinner at Pizza Hut with friends today. Didn't have mood becoz of the rain. I really don't like going out during rainy days. It's annoying! I just wanna do window shopping and I didn't intend to buy anything but then when we went into an accessories shop, a watch caught my attention! I bought it without much consideration :P Those evil friends just made me to buy it!! LOL Actually I really love watches and I'm quite into classic simple watches recently. Can't afford to buy my dream watch and I think it's not too extravagant to buy a cheap one, is it? :D

KENZO + HAAGEN-DAZS

Dinner at Kenzo with family tonight. The food was quite good but it wasn't as good as I expected. I had it once 2 years ago and last time it was great! May be we didn't order the expensive stuff lol Anyway we had good time and enjoyed the food.

After dinner, hung around and then had dessert at Haagen-Dazs. I like the German cheese cake!! Not too sweet and it tasted good! :D Let me try to make one by myself!! :D

TYPHOON SIGNAL #8

Thanks for the typhoon!! I was off from work at 2:30pm today. Didn't want to go home right away so went to APM cinema to see if there were tickets for The Simpons. But there were too may people and only 1st row was avaiable!! Then my colleague suggested to play bowling but the bowling alley was full too! The shops were also going to closed so nothing we could do. Finally we had to go home. It was a waste to go home tho I had some time to relax :)

DEAD END

It's hard to say I enjoy or I'm tired of busy life. I should be happy to do something I like and I don't want to regret when I'm old. But sometimes when I rest myself and think about it, seems like I'm rushing myself to do many things at once. I don't like the feeling of doing nothing, it makes me feeling bored and losing my way. Some people may not understand but please don't blame me if I'm too busy. I know what my top priority is and I'm trying my best to arrange my schedule. Really need to figure out what to do, otherwise it's going to the dead end. Gimme some more time!

FAREWELL DINNER

A colleague is going to leave and today is his last day so we had farewell dinner with him. I'm glad that finally he can find another job coz our manager was too mean to him. Also this job really doesn't suitable for him, there is no meaning to be suffer here. Really hope he can have better prospect in the next company!!

We had buffet dinner at Todai, the food was good!! Haven't been there for a long time!! I like the uni sushi and the loster!! They were goood!! The oysters were ok, not fresh enough so I didn't eat much. I love the dessert!! They were tiny and sweet!! :D Overall it was good!! It wasn't really like a farewell dinner coz we didn't act like we would miss him coz I'm sure we will see again soon! Hong Kong is small, right?

I WANNA TRAVEL NO MATTER WHAT!!

Have been thinking to go travel at the end of September but becoz of some reasons, I can't travel to somewhere I want. I have few ideal destinations but gotta change now. It's kinda frustrating but life is like that. Really don't want to be stuck in Hong Kong!! No matter what I will get away for at least few days!!

The Hong Kong dollar has lost value and it has been decreased in value against Euro, Pounds, Canadian dollars and Australia dollars! One of the reason that I have to change my destination is the weakness of Hong Kong dollar!! May be Hong Kong dollar shouldn't peg to US dollar?

YAY FOR LIVERPOOL FC

LIVERPOOL FC came to Hong Kong again!! Yay!! But I didn't know until I saw them on TV!! And it's too late for me to get the ticket! Oh I'm kinda slow in football news now!! Too bad!! Really need to catch up on football news and games. Fuham and Portsmouth are also in Hong Kong and they are going to play games with South China. Definately Liverpool will win!

Remember 4 years ago when LIVERPOOL FC came to Hong Kong, I could have chance to watch the game and Michael Owen was here!! I really don't like him playing in Newscatle now tho he said he was happy to play in Newcastle. Is it true? I know there is no chance for him to go back to Anfield...

But it's good that LIVERPOOL is expanding!! They signed the Spanish petty boy Fernando Torres and Dutch kid Ryan Babel. Hopefully LIVERPOOL will win the English Permiership! :D

1ST PIANO LESSON SINCE 8 YEARS AGO!!

I have been thinking to start learning piano again but due to many reasons, I didn't really mean to start it. I was worried that I may be only keen to learn for a short while and also the main reason is I never have enough time to practise. My schedule is very tight and I need something to motivate me.

I hardly remember when was my last piano lesson, probably 8 or 9 years ago. I wonder if I paid more efforts, I could be a piano teacher now. God knows?! Well I'm not learning for being a teacher, I'm learning for interest only. I had my 1st lesson today and this teacher is very strict. He can point out my problem without looking my fingers!! Oopps! I didn't know my fingering is so wrong!! Kinda frustrated and I regret I have wasted lots of time before... Hopefully it's not too late to start again!! I still have a year and a half!!

BBQ @ TAI LAM

One of the hottest summer!! 34 degrees!! So hot!! But can you believe what was our activties? BBQ?!! I was reluctant to go barbecue, I just wanted to stay inside a cool place. It's kinda silly to go barbecue in such hot weather. But we didn't have other suggestions and it wasn't good to cancel the gathering so we still went there.

The barbecue place is near by the beach so we could go for the beach to cool down our feet. I wanted to go swimming so much!! There are not many things to do except walking on the beach, barbecue and playing mahjong. But anyway we still had good time tho it's hot!! Hopefully it sweated off some of my weight :D

"beach next to the bbq place"

LOST

Many people told me LOST is very interesting but I could't manage time to watch it. Also a plane crash story with the surviving passengers in a deserted island doesn't seem so entertaining for me. Finally I started to watch since last week, the story was out of my expectation, it's very mysterious and interesting!! I'm so curious about each characters' behind stories and I want to know how they can get out of the island. Really want to recommend all of you to watch it!! I have been so busy to watch these days and I'm on Season 2 now. It's really tiring to chase the drama!! The problem is once I have started, I barely stop!! :P I don't even want to do anything but watch it!!

AL DENTE

A colleague recommended me a fine Italian restaurant so we went there tonight. AL Dente is a small restaurant but homely and the food was good!! It tastes more like Italian style. We ordered Caesar salad, pasta, Italian Pizza and Mixed berry Crumble . I like the Focaccia and the Italian Pizza!! The Pizza is crispy, it is made with salami sauage and cheese, perfect match!! The dessert was a bit sweet but tasty!! I was surprised that the bill wasn't expensive!! Will definately go there again!!

KICK & PUNCH!!

I had a trial kickboxing lesson tonight. I learned some basic steps, some techniques of punch & kick and as I expected, it really tired me out!! I can imagine I will definately have muscle aching tomorrow!! But I will keep doing once a week as the temptation of burning more energy and calories!! Also it's a good way to vent your anger!! Overall it is fun and enjoyable tho I am worn out :D

FAIRE LA BISE

My level 1 French teacher is going to leave Hong Kong, I met her again today finally!! I haven't seen her since I finished level 1. She is going back to France to take a break and she may be or may not come back to Hong Kong. It depends... The pollution here is one of the reason!! Oh well I want to go to France, really want her to take me there LOL

French culture is very interesting, I know French people exchange kisses on alternating cheeks upon meeting and separating and somehow I have done it first time :D Faire la bise! But it's confusing coz they have two kisses, three kisses and four kisses!! I think it's easy to mess it up!! :D

TIVOLI ITALIAN RESTAURANT

Suddenly wanna have dinner buffet but most of the dinner buffet in hotels were full!! Marriott, Shangri-la, Grand Hyatt... How come? I was very surprised!! Someone said Tivoli Italian Restaurant was good, we had no choice so we had a try there.

It was quite disappointing! The decoration and environment were nice but the food wasn't as good as I expected. The service was fair and I didn't like the tableware. We had Seafood Risotto, Sicilian Spaghetti with prawns and Pizza with Salami and house wine. I think the pizza was good but the risotto and spaghetti were more like "high class tea restaurant food". Not really SO BAD but I wouldn't go there again if I wanna eat Italian food.

SUMMER HOTPOT

Waited for my friends at McDonald and I found that eating Happy meal comes with a Toy from Shrek animation. I wanted a Pinocchio so I had no choice to buy a Happy Meal. Really don't like junk food... I was surprised that the combo sets are so expensive!! I remember when I was teen, we ate at McDonald for saving money but nowadays it's kinda "LUXURY" to eat at McDonald. Time changes! McDonald reallys know how to SQUEEZE our money LOL

We were going to had hotpot at a colleague's home so we had to buy food at market. Actually we all had no idea how to choose vegetables, fishes and seafood!! Also we had to wash the food and cut it into pieces. It's kinda disgusting to wash the squids and cut their head... I don't like the feeling... I suddenly realise mom is wonderful!! She goes to market everyday and cook for us!! Thanks god!! I don't want to be a housewife yet LOL It's too tiring!!

We bought a lot of food and we couldn't eat them all. Someone has to eat them all today LOL I think next time it's better to eat out :D

SHERK 3 + FRENCH CUISINE

I'm not an animation fan, I think the last animation that I watched in the cinema was "Finding Nemo". I have only watched Shrek 1 on DVD long time ago and I hardly remember the story but my friend wanted to watch Sherk 3 so we watched it today. Most of the cinemas are Cantonese dubbed version, why is like that? Only IFC, City Gate and Cinematheque have original English version. So inconvenient!! Finally we went to Cinematheque, it was quite full.

Overall this animation was quite entertaining and funny, some characters were very lovely and cute, I'm definately not the fan of Shrek LOL I like Pinocchio, puss in boots and Gingy!! Dunno what's wrong with Price Charming, he was totally not charming enough LOL This film was a bit short, I think they should make it longer!


After dinner we went to Kowloon Bay to have French cuisine at C'est Bon. We ordered a 9 courses set!! I heard that C'est Bon was first opened in Bangkok and it was quite famous. I thought 9 courses meal would be too much for us but the portions were small so it wasn't really that much. We ordered a bottle of Chile red wine and enjoyed the delicious food.

We had
1) Sliced tuna
2) Foie gras
3) Crab with peppermint sauce
4) Lobster soup
5) Strawberry sorbet
6) Spaghetti with bacon
7) Grilled Steak
8) Chocolate Truffle Souffle Cake with ice-cream
9) Coffee

I like the Foie gras and the Chocolate Truffle Souffle Cake most!! The environment and the service was good, overall I'm quite satisified with it. We all enjoyed it a lot!! The most important is Mr. Picky couldn't join us!! I bet it scared him when I told him we were going to have French cuisine LOL We can imagine how he would complain about the food and the expensive bill!! I'm so SORRY for him now LOL :D I'm sure next time we will count him in!!

DUTCH GIRL IS BACK!

My friend from Dutch has come back to Hong Kong for vacation!! It has been nearly a year for our last meet!! She usually asked when I would go to Holland to visit her but finally she has come back LOL Oh well may be next time ;)

We had dinner at Sushi Tei with another friend and her cousin, we ordered a lot of food and we ate a lot :P I got a nice souvenir, it's lovely!! Actually she bought for me a year ago but becoz of some reasons, I got it until today. Anyway I like it so much!! Thank you buddy!!

"a nice souvenir from holland"

OCEAN'S 13

11 was cool, 12 was nice but 13 was fair. I had been looking forward to this movie for weeks, and I was very disappointed. There are spots that are funny, and some great visual effects but the film was long, not creative and predictable. It did not live up to its hype!

SPAGHETTI HOUSE

My friend wanted to buy something for her bf's birthday so we shopped around at T.S.T and then had dinner at Spaghetti House. Choosing gift for someone is not easy especially for man!! It's usually easier to please women then men! :P The food in Spaghetti house was good!! I haven't been there for a long time, their food quality is getting better. I quite like the salad and the spaghetti!

HOT SUMMER!!

Dunno what's wrong with the weather, it's getting hotter and hotter. I don't feel like going out!! Just wanna stay inside the cool air-conditioning room. I really want to go to the beach but I don't want to get sunburn!! :p

I went shopping at TST today, felt like breathless!! It's dangerous to go out :P Anyway I got a new handbag :D A linen hangbag with white leather, feel like summer!!

CONGRESS RESTAURANT

Buffet dinner at Congress restaurant with friends tonight. The food was quite nice!! I like the Jumbo Shrimp, crab claw and tiramisu! Curry was also good!! But what a pity there was no oyster!! Tho I know it's not the season for eating nice oyster now. Anyway it was fun to having nice dinner with friends!!

Wanna have slim face? Posture it like that! LOL

H&M + LKF

Finally I had chance to shop around at H&M. Last time I only took a quick look there. Things are really cheap and I understand why so many women do their CRAZY SHOP there!! I'm not crazy, I only bought an accessory and a T-shirt! :D Better to save some money for my next shopping LOL

After shopping we had a quick dinner at Tsui Wah, I had mixed instant noodle with pig soft bone. The pig softbone was ok but I didn't like the instant noodle. Then we had a drink at Insomnia at LKF. It was relaxing to chitchat with friend and enjoy the band show. But it would be better if someone didn't come out and ruin my mood!! It pissed me off!!

WHO CAN I TRUST?

I reckon it's hard to trust anyone even myself. I don't trust myself, how can I trust anyone? Sometimes everything seems like illusory and you can barely catch it. Who say your life is determinated by GOD? I can control my life and destiny!! I can walk my way!!

FATHERS' DAY

I really don't like Fathers' Day or Mothers' Day or Valentine's Day or those commerical festivals. It's not the only day for you to express your love, right? My dad asked my mom to tell us he wanted a Nokia mobile for Fathers' Day present. It really annoys me. I don't mean I don't want to buy him anything but never a mobile! Is't it too much? He has changed 3 mobiles already in this year, I don't think I should "spoil" him like that! We gave him money and celebrated with our relatives. Besides mobile, I'm sure money is the only thing he wants! Tho I know he isn't so happy coz he expected us to buy a mobile!!

SURPRISED BIRTHDAY PARTY

It was my Japanese friend's birthday on 14th so we gave her a suprised birthday party today. We had dinner at Fat Angelo, the food was nice! She was so happy and surprised. Not sure if it's the best birthday for her but at least it's an unforgettable one!! Tanjyoubi Omedetou!

FANTASTIC FOUR 2

I'm quite disappointed with this film. Not as good as I expected and the story is too simple and predictable. Don't really like the acting and the story. Silver Surfer is so silly! I have never read the comics tho I think the original isn't like that!!

SOMETHING WRONG

Something is wrong! How can I fix it right? Sometimes I don't quite understand myself. What's wrong with me? I'm so lost!! I don't want to be like that!! Why can't life be simple?

TO BE PROMOTED TO LEVEL 4

Thanks god!! I got pass for the French test and I'm promoted to Level 4! Lucky me!! I didn't get much time to study and I even felt asleep on the bus when I was on the way to Alliance Francaise :P It's a shame to have such low marks! I'm not so happy with it. How come I can't remember the rules of the perfect tense!! It confuses me!! I really need to work harder!! Not more excuses to be lazy!

WE ARE NOT KIDS!!

I have to admit that sometimes I lose patience and temper easily becoz of little things but I never lose temper at work or in front of friends. I understand everyone might have pressure when you are at work especially if your boss is a jerk or bird-brained. What can you do? Either learning how to suvive in the company or leave!! Expressing your dissatification and losing temper like a kid won't help, it only makes things worse!! Be mature man! We are NOT kids!!

SUNGLASSES

I rarely wear sunglasses and I got 2 already but still wanted to buy a new one :P Can't wait to wear it but recently it has been raining... Where is the sun?

FISHEYE # TWO

Fisheye # Two!! Thank you:D Welcome to my camera family!! Yay I got it finally!! Since my old fisheye couldn't work, I always wanted to get a new one!! This new one seems good and with more fuctions! I will figure it out once the weather is fine!! Let's go Fisheye # Two, you will be my new favourite! ;)

CHINA PERFUME BOTTLE

Got a nice pretty china perfume bottle and a packable bag!! I like them very much!! How kind are they!! :) It surprised me!! I will definately buy a nice gift as a return ;)

NEW ASSISTANT

Good news!! There will be 2 new staffs coming to work on 20th!! One of the new girl will be my assistant :D Yay!! I can boss her around LOL hehe Oh nono I'm not a bossy person!! But it's really good to have someone to share my workloads. Hopefully she is a smart girl!! But once again, she can't speak Japanese, I have to be her translator and interpreter... So who is the boss now? LOL

GOLDEN SHANGHAI CUISINE

Dinner at Golden Shanghai Cuisine, the steamed pork dumplings were so good!! The best that I ever had!! But the fried chicken wasn't so good, it wasn't tender and tasty enough. The Szechuan spice sliced pork was too oily... I threw up what I ate right away afterwards. What a waste... But my stomach really doesn't feel so well after eating so much greasy food.

THE BUDDHA

Do not do bad things, the buddha can see!! LOL

FINNAIR

Someone took Finnair and lost the baggage during transit, it makes me losing confidence of Finnair. I thought European airways were more reliable! Tho losing baggage often happens everyday, I still think it's quite unacceptable. That's why I prefer taking direct flight. I can imagine I would keep complaining and being irritated if I lost the baggage. I can't be calm! LOL

HAIR TRIM

I had hair trim at my friends today. My friend's friend is a hair stylist and he was willing to trim for us :) Thank you so much!! He was so patient and professional and he did very well to all of us!! 4 of us were so happy with our hair style. What a shame that he only works as a part time hair stylist, I do think he can work more than that!!

And special thanks to Lim coz he was so kind to drive my freinds to MTR station in the midnight since he doesn't know them. His new car is cool :D

PLAYING BADMINTON

Playing badminton with colleages tonight. One is my colleague has resigned few months ago and I really hope she could come back to work. Since she thinks the new work doesn't really suitable for her. The new girl who replaces her is totally a bird-brained, I can't stand her anymore. She usually gets me annoyed... I'm really afraid one day I would lose my temper at work.

SWIMMING

It has been hot lately so I went swimming tonight. My first time to swim in this year!! Seems it's still not bad for my physical fitness :D I could swim 1100m :D Hopefully I can manage to go swimming twice a week!!

CHIUCHOW CUISINE

Dinner at Chao Inn with Japanese friends. I feel like recently I often eat at Chinese restaurant... Don't really like it tho I have to show my friends around and taste real Chinese food. Chiuchow food is quite good but I still think the old style Chiuchow restaurant is better than this kind of "fake high class" restaurant. The old one is more local and characteristic. Food at Chao Inn wasn't bad tho I may not eat there again coz I'm not so fancy about Chinese cuisine.

After dinner, it was dessert time again. Mango season!! I like Mango!! I had Sago with Mango in Coconut Milk, it was great!! :D

POC 3

This film was nothing like I have expected. It was totally unpredictable. You really don't know what is going to hapen next. The visual effects were superb and storyline was well thought out. I like the characters and effects. Johnny Depp was truely great and funny. Orlando Bloom was as cool as usual. But Chow Yuen Fat's character was really like nothing, he wasn't so important in the film... I thought he was the 3rd main actor.... Overall I like this film tho it wasn't as good as the 1st one!

NEW PC!!

I got a new PC!! Went to Golden Computer Arcade to buy a new PC and keyboard. It was a bad rainy day and usually I don't feel like going out but I really can't stand for my old PC. It often shuts down automatically and I'm annoyed with it. I was tempted to buy iMac coz it looks so cool and it's more stable but finally I still bought a PC. Why? Because it's cheaper and my family voted for PC! :D Well may be if one day I move out, I will buy an iMac...

MI-NE SUSHI

Dinner at Mi-Ne Sushi at Mong Kok, there is always a long queue!! We had waited for an hour and more!! I think the Sushi wasn't as good as before, especially the salmon sushi. A little bit disappointed with it. This time I realised what is the real good service. There were 2 Japanese staffs (managers) and they served the customers with heart and smile. Those Hong Konger waiters and waitresses were just served us like a robot. I think they should be trained again!! We are human but not robots!!

CPK + CAFE

Someone has never been to CPK so we had dinner there. I quite like this restaurant and I think the food is good. But someone said it was as noisy as market LOL I think she didn't like the food much. We tried a new Pizza "Mango Tandoori Chicken" and it was quite good. I still think Sicilian is the best :D

"Mango Tandoori Chicken Pizza"

After dinner, it's our habit to have second round. Seems we ate too much LOL We went to a cafe to have a drink and eat some cakes and snacks. We played and JENGA and Chinese Checkers!! Old kid games but fun!!

"inside the cafe"

Wii Wii Wii

It's my first time to play Wii!! Oh yeh it's really interesting and fun!! I like Tennis, Bowling and Fishing!! I'm quite talent to play tennis :D Hehe Bowling is ok, but I usually only knocked down 9 pins at once!! I could only have one strike :P Anyway it's very entertaining and I didn't want to leave!! May be I should buy a Wii? It's very terrible!! Seems everyone will be addicted to it!! :D LOL

.

" the character of me playing bowling"

Afterwards, went to Yaumatei to meet my Japanese friends and then shopped around in CWB and had dinner. Then I took them to the Peak. It's the 2nd time I went there in half year, I think it's too much LOL I'm not a tourist LOL But they want to see the night view of Hong Kong, the view at the Peak is the best!!

SPIDERMAN 3

I have been waiting for a long time!! SPIDERMAN 3 is a must watch movie!! (Hehe I admit I'm a spiderman fans) Though it wasn't as good as I expected and it was overdoing for some plots, I think it's still good and entertaining. There are multiple story lines thrown at you from start to finish. The effects are well done and amazing!! I really don't like the actress (Mary Jane), her acting is really bad. If there would be Spiderman 4, please assign another actress to act MJ!!

SAVE FOR SAX!

I wanna learn playing saxophone!! This YAMAHA Eb ALTO SAX is so cool!! I know it's better to buy a cheap one for beginner but I can't resist this one!! Really need to save up the money!! Hopefully I can have enough time and money to learn!! Hmm I'm afraid I would be too busy to start learning instrument now...

SO SICK

I have been sick for few days!! Finally I had time to go to see the doctor tonight. I got a cold again :( What's wrong with me? I think the Feng Sui of the new office isn't good!! Since I have moved, I got sick usually. I'm like half-dead now! =_= Can't wait for weekend to get some more rest. I need a break!!

JAPANESE CLASSMATES GATHERING

Gathering again!!! "Koucyo sensei" suddenly called us to come out!! We went to Tsuen Wan to Yam Cha and then shop around Mong Kok. I feel like it was like those days when I was still taking Japanaese class and we learned many Japanese words everyday. I had passion for Japanese before but no more now. May be becoz of my Japanese colleagues LOL I'm a little bit sick of them!!

"kyocyo sensei's cup, interesting osaka dialect"

MUSIC

I realise those years that I was only learning how to play piano but not learning how to perform music. I don't just want the techniques but I want more than that. Like how to establish your own style and how to perform a song with your heart. Also it's important to know the music history and the style of differnt music period. A good teacher can shorten your way to be a good performer. What a shame my piano teachers were craps. There is no mearning to play a song but you don't know the composer and the background story. Music is not that simple!! I'm glad to know somone is being a responsibile piano teacher. Teaching for money? No way!!

TI BASKETBALL TEAM GATHERING

It's TI BASKETBALL TEAM GATHERING!! We haven't gathered for few years!! Though some of our members couldn't join, we still had good time!! We had buffet at Issei Japanese Dining, the food were delicious and we ate a lot!! I like sashimi!! :D We had 3 rounds of it!! LOL

It was very funny to make fun of each other and talked about old days. Surprisingly someone is still keeping the pic in the wallet which was taken in 8 years ago!! The reason that the pic is still in his wallet not becoz he misses us too much, we guess it's becoz he only has only one 2R pic LOL :D

I HAVE A RAISE!

Finally I have a raise!! Yay!! 14% is quite good for me tho I want more :D LOL I thought boss had forgotten about it already. I deserve it!! ;) But it also means I have to work harder!! Anyway it's time to think buying something for myself as a reward :D

I'M SO SORRY

Nothing I can say much, I can only say SORRY. I don't want to be like that and I hate myself. May be I'm a selfish person and I don't want to act bad. What else can I do? Is there any way out? Darn!! Who am I? I don't know myself anymore!! I'm a zombie!!

BBQ@COFFEE BAY

Barbecued at Coffee Bay again! Yay! We have planned it for a month!! This time we got some more friends to join us. My Japnaese friend has come to Hong Kong for work, it's good to see her again!! We bought a lot of food but we left much also!! May be becoz for of the hot weather and humidity, we didn't eat much. Someone had to bring all the steaks and ribs to home :D Anyway it may be the last barbecue for me before summer! ;)

WHEN IT HAPPENS, IT WILL HAPPEN

Oh well it's totally out of my expectation!! Isn't it too fast? I still can't believe it!! I found that I really don't understand myself quite well. Or may be I'm being true to myself? There is a saying: It's choice, not chance that determines your destiny. So here we go!! Let's see if I'm doing the right thing or not!! Nothing wrong to do what I like, right?

BAND BAND BAND

Kinda busy work today... The new staff had worked for a week only and she resigned yestday... Oh my god, I just taught her some stuff and now I have to work them all by myself again. She made some mistakes and I have to fix the problem. Why me? Sigh...

After work I had French lesson, level 3 is much difficult than level 2!! Especially the grammar!! I'm afraid I can't catch up. Too busy to study!! I really need someone to help me with my French.

Tonight I joined a friend and his band memebers to see them jaming songs. It was so fun and great!! I start to think I really need to practise my piano playing. I shouldn't have stopped playing for so many years!! My fingers are so stiff!! What a shame!!
