SPRING DINNER BUT NOT FOR ME

I was so sick last night, I got diarrhea and I didn't feel so well with my stomach. I took some pill in the morning and then went to work. But I vomitted after lunch and I couldn't bear the stomachache so I went to see the doctor at around 4pm. I really wanted to go back home to rest but tonight it was the Spring dinner of our company and everybody was going to attend so it wouldn't be a good idea to be absent.

I came back to office after seeing the doctor and then we had the dinner at Heichinrou. I couldn't eat at all so I just sat there at eat nothing :( I only had a little bit shark fin soup and fish...

We had lucky draw but me and our teammates got nothing!! How bad luck we were!!

ALL'S WELL END'S WELL 2009

Haven't watched Hong Kong movie in the cinema for a long time coz I don't think it's worth to buy the ticket. I prefer to spend on watching Hollywood big movie more. But watching movie in the CNY is kinda like family activity so I was going to watch "All's well End's well 2009" with my family tonight.

I didn't have high expectation on it coz it can't be compared with the one in 1992 or 1997. It's not exactly the sequel but it remained some characters from the previous one. Overall this movie was quite entertaining. A typical local comedy and we blasted out laugh. It was funny but better to watch it on DVD!!

MARLEY & ME

I was supposed to do kick boxing today but I was a bit sick so I rested at home for a while and joined AC and CT for movie at night. We were going to watch Marley and Me. I enjoyed the 2/3 movie coz it was quite funny and entertaining. The dog Marley was so cute!! But the rest of 1/3 was a bit boring and sad. A little disappointed with this movie and ending.

MONKEY IN OX YEAR [2]

Seems like Monkey will have a good year in 2009!! I really hope that everything will go well for me especially career and money!!

In the year of 2009, there are many Lucky Stars coming to Monkey people. So they have complete new luck and they can expect good news from career, money, reputation, love or happiness area. However, some tiny Unlucky Stars hiding beside the Lucky Stars in 2009. That means Monkey people shouldn't show too complacent and too conceited, because their enemies are still around. If Monkey people make any mistake, then they might lose their reputation, power or wealth.

Career: There are three major Lucky Career Stars appearing in 2009. Those signs indicate you will have an extraordinary and outstanding achievement in your job performance or business development. When you have better performance or hold a higher position, then many people become jealous to you. Someone might try to look for your shortcoming or mistake in order to impede your working progress and to damage your reputation. Fortunately, since your keen perception and quick response, you are able to a plan to protect yourself. Also, your supporters will help your to remove the hamper.

Money: There is a Lucky Money Star showing in this year. Since you have a good career luck, your salary fixed income will be satisfactory. If you work for someone, you might earn an extra bonus. However, the Money Star is not a Windfall Star. The money won't come from gambling, heritage, gift or lottery. It's required your hardworking and time to earn all your income. Another sign show that you have a chance to lose your personal property and no way to recover it. Or an unexpected accident causes your money loss. Therefore, it's safer that do show off your wealth in 2009.

Health: Although you have many Lucky Stars coming in your astrological cycle. There also are some Unlucky Stars around you this year. This brings up the health issue. The career will make you busy in 2009. You will feel tired very often. If you have too much nightlife and too less exercise, then you will get sick easily. As long as understanding the health might become the problem, then you should limit unnecessary social life, keep healthy eating habit, maintain good sleeping quality and exercise routinely, then you will have a healthy life in the year of Cow.

Fortune: Monkey people have excellent career luck in 2009. They will work very skillfully and proficiently on their daily job. Their wealth will increase because of good job performance. However, there still is a potential unlucky event coming. Monkey people still need to pay attention on words and deeds. If you can spend more time in helping others, then you will win the good reputation, which could bring you more money in. The feeling of wealth, power, happiness and satisfaction will all come to you.

PAY RAISE & BONUS

We have handed in our appraisal on Monday and also met the boss and manager already. Today boss was going to review our working performance for last year and also tell us about if we got bonus and pay raise.

I didn't expect much coz the staffs have grown double size of last year and we expanded our office and warehouse as well. So I thought our boss wouldn't be generous this year. When I entered the boss's room and my boss chuckled and talked to me.

"Now I'm going to announce your pay raise and bonus. I'm sure you will be the happiest person in this company."
" Really?" I asked doubtfully coz he sounded like he is going to raise me the most in this company.
"Of course! Becoz your managers appreciated your working performance and they gave you a very good evaluation."

Surprisingly he was more generous than I expected!! I have quite a lot pay raise and bonus!! I'm happy that my boss repays on my efforts and he is very appreciated with my working performance. Yay I deserve it!! :)

MADE UP MY MIND

Life is full of decision making and I've been struggling on something that I want to do but I hesitate to do. Finally I made up my mind coz I don't want to be regret in the future. It's good to make a decision and set my target so I can try to work it out gradually. It will be a great challenge for me!! I still have time to prepare and I'm a little excited about it!!

So for this year I have a lot to fulfill!! I like my idea and my motto!! Don't think just do it!! (Tho I've been thinking for a long while :P) I'm going to bet everything on it!!

BEIJING CLUB

Kinda moody recently... I know I shouldn't be affected by anything/anyone easily but I just can't help myself. I'm tired of waiting and guessing what will happen next. It's really frustrating when things aren't under my control. But I think I'm getting better on handling this kinda stuff and I know how to distract myself.

So we went to Beijing Club tonight coz we all just wanted to have some fun. I don't usually go clubbing on Fri coz I don't like to go after a long busy day work. But why should I withhold myself for having fun? I didn't care if it was Friday!!

We went there at around 1am and surprising there were quite a lot of people!! I didn't expect it would be so crowded on Fri!! We drank and danced until 4.30am and it was very fun!! I enjoyed the music and the atmosphere and I'm glad that I could forget everything and enjoyed myself at that moment!!

CHANGING CLASS

I had my first lesson of French Grammar tonight. I don't know anyone in the class coz Kelly, Zoie. Schindler and Alexandra are not taking this workshop. It's ok to be alone but the class was a bit easy for me.

Our teacher said that she was going to review the grammar from Level 3 to Level 5 only. But I expected she would review something more. My french isn't good but I don't' think I have to learn such basic things in the class. I can do it by myself anyway. And our teacher suggested the high level students to change the class if they think it is too easy for them. She can't manage to review something that other students haven't learned it yet.

I talked to Preston and he persuaded me to join their level 10 class. I'm worried that I can't catch up in the lesson but he said it wasn't so difficult. So I decided to change the class and spend more time on studying French. I'm going to be serious this time!!

IN LOVE WITH MY IPOD TOUCH AGAIN

My iPod Touch got Jailbroken to 2.2 finally!! I bought it a year ago but I only use it to listen music, write notes, watch video sometimes and access to internet. Obviously I didn't fully utilize its functions!!

I realised that it would be a waste to just listen music with it, finally I decided to jailbreak it. Thanks for my colleague's help, I can use a lot of functions now!! Such as reading e-books, text and PDF files. Also I downloaded many games and useful software. Now it's more like a PDA for me. Wonderful!! I've never been so in love with my iPod Touch like this moment!! :)

FRENCH ORAL CLASS

This term I'm going to take French oral and grammar workshop instead of promoting to level 10 coz I really need to master my speaking and grammar first. It's hard to catch up in the class. Luckily Kelly, Bruce, Zoie, Schindler and Alexandra are taking the oral workshop with me so I'm not alone. But I will be alone in the grammar class!!

We are in the same floor with Level 10 class so we can still see our mates!! It was good to see them again and we talked loudly in the corridor! We have a pretty French lady teacher in this oral class!! Emily and Preston are in L10 class and they told us that they had a good looking and interesting male teacher!! I should have been promoted, shouldn't I? :D

I met Tania in AF too!! I didn't know she is working in AF now!! It has been a year after our last meet!! I was so surprised to see her!! Glad to know that she is fine!

MY SIXTH SENSE

I don't really like to wait and being in a passive situation. I believe my sixth sense and it depresses me to think that something is going to happen again eventho I don't want to. Shouldn't I care of it?

Someone said that I was lack of confidence and since then I'm trying hard to be more confident in myself. It's not that I have a feeling of inferiority but I'm just not certain of my ability. Sometimes it's easy to think toward to bad way when things aren't going well with what I expected. I don't have confidence to remain unchanged or to change it. It is either you choose or you are being chose. Maybe I shouldn't take things so serious or maybe I should have a little faith on it?

TUNG LUNG ISLAND

Today was the coldest day, only 10-12 degrees!! We went hiking to Tung Lung Island!! I bought a Gortex jacket yesterday for this hiking!! I woke up so early coz we had to take the ferry from Yau Tong at 10am.

When we arrived Tung Lung Island it was nearly 11am. We walked around and took some pics. Tung Lung Island is very small and they only have ferry to go during weekend and holiday. People usually go there for camping and rock climbing.

The landscape was very beautiful and impressive. We could see people climing rock! It looks interesting and I'd like to try!! But it looks scary from the top of the cliff!!

We took the 3.30pm ferry back to Yau Tong and then me and AC went to TST to watch movie. There weren't not many choices and we watched the Suspect X. It has drama as well but I have never watched it. AC said it was very interesting. Fukuyama Masaharu is the main actor and he still looks cool at his age. The movie was a bit slow and it was just okay. Maybe becoz I haven't watched the drama before.

After watching movie we had dinner at a Korean resturant. We needed to eat something hot and spicy to warm our bodies!! It was too cold!! The spicy hotpot was very delicious and we enjoyed the food a lot!!

ELÉNA'S FAREWELL PARTY

Farewelled to Eléna at Makumba bar tonight coz she is going back to France on Tuesday. It's good to have known her and I hope I will see her again soon!!

Kayin is going to Laos to meet Christophe and Charly during Chinese New Year and she asked me if I was interested to go with her. Of course I'd like to join but I don't think I can get days off this month coz I have 3 colleagues who are on leave during CNY. Sigh... I wanna go travel!!

NOUVEL AN

Celebrating the new year day with my French classmates. We went to watch a "IP MAN" at Whampoa UA cinema. This movie is about the life of the grandmaster of the Wing Chun. Ip Man was the master of Bruce Lee as well. I didn't know that :P This moive was very entertaining, Donnie Yen acted very well and his Kung Fu was very impressive. There were funny scene and touching scene. The movie was better that I expected! I liked it a lot!!


After watching movie, we went to cafe to have some coffee and on the way we saw the meteoric stone on the sky!! Actually it wasn't really meteoric stone but it just looked so. Alexandra explained that it was the reflection of the jet of plane. So scientific!! With more imagination, I believe it's a sign of good luck :D

Then we had dinner at Chung Hing Mansion. There were many nice Indian restaurant and we just chose one. The food was quite good but I haven't got much of an appetite coz I ate too much yesterday!! We went for a drink after dinner and we had some nice conversation!!

NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS

It's 2009 already!! So fast!! 2008 was quite a good year for me. I can't say many good things happened on me but at least nothing really bad.

Tho I have been so busy at work, I work so hard and I got some luck. My boss and manager trust me and appreciate my performance so I got in charge in many thngs and it's a challenge for me.

I have travelled 3 times last year which I didn't expect. It was so great and I enjoyed a lot. Hopefully this year I can travel more too. And I learned some new things and made new friends. It was a great fun to do and meet something new!!

My new year resolutions are quite the same with last year so this year I'm not going to make a long list. 3 is enough!!! I just want to stay healthy, work less and do whatever I want!!
