MAI PO

Went to Mai Po Wetlands today. It's a in between Sheung Shui and Yuen Long, and it's just next to Shenzhen. I could even see the buildings in Shenzhen!! So close!!

Mai Po is a natural protected area which is very suitable for the birds to winter. Our purpose was to take pics for the birds but I only used the compacted digital camera and I couldn't take any close up pics for the birds!! Other people used a professional DSLR and they took some nice pics!! I think I really need to buy a better camera LOL Tho the scene was beautiful and nice but I couldn't take any nice bird pics LOL What a shame!!

EATING TOO MUCH...

I have been eating too much since Chinese New Year. Radish cake, Rice Pudding, Glutinous Rice Dumplings, Chocolates... Yesterday I had a large meal at Korean Restaurant. I had plenty of food and I was so FULL!! WE have ordered too much!! Obviously our eyes are bigger than our bellies! I've always disliked that feeling of fullness and my stomach is so sick!! I really need to eat less from now on!

NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM

Watching NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM today. This film was very entertaining and funny!! Well acted and interesting story!! I was laughing all the way through it! Ben Stiller is really awesome!! It's the best holiday film!!

After watchcing film, we shopped around and then had dinner at Wildfire. It was quite delicious but the portion was really small. And the service wasn't that good. Someone even needed to have 2nd round at Mcdonald LOL A meal + dessert!! Isn't it too much? LOL

PROTÉGÉ

Watching Protégé tonight! It was quite good!! Zhang Jing chu acts so well as a drug addict. Andy Lau and Daniel Wu's acting was cool!! This film is a little bit violent but it also reflects the reality of taking drugs. I like what Daniel asked in the film, "Why do people take drugs? Becoz of the emptiness? Emptiness is more terrible or taking drugs is more terrible?"

NEW YEAR, NEW HOPE, NEW LIFE

These months is really awful. I feel like nothing much good happens in my life since 2007. I had a try on doing something hard for me already but as I expected I wouldn't succeed. I knew it!! So the coming Pig Year I just want some more fortune and happiness!! Well I'm Chinese so I should count the Chinese New Year :P Pig Year!! Here we go!! I want a new year, new hope and new life!! And here is the Forecast for Monkeys in Pig Year:

"2007 brings a year of increased prospects for the Monkey. There are many happy events this year, and most will be connected to you, in some way. This is the year that all Monkeys will take some time for reliving their past."

Seems like I should focus more on my work and look for the opportunities!! Hopefully I will really have many happy events!!

MUSIC AND LYRICS

Typical chick flick and the plot is predictable, the story line is a bit boring at times and I can't feel the chemistry between the two of them. Hugh Grant plays his usual character like his old moives and he acting is average. The scenes with Hugh Grant as a member of Pop in their music video is hilarious. The film is okay if you don't have high expectations.

NO MORE GUTS

I understand life is like that, there are ups and downs, but seems everything doesn't work well lately. No matter work and personal life, it really tires me out and frustrates me. I'm not an impulsive person but I reckon I did something stupid. I'm so regret :( I don't want this outcome but I don't know how I can fix it. I really can't pluck up the courage again...

I LIKE DURIAN!!

Finally I went to have hair perm after work coz I couldn't stand for my messy hair. It spent me few hours!! When I walked out from salon it was already 10pm!! I was so hungry!! Then I went to Mong Kong to join my friends to shop around before Chinese New Year. We wanted to buy hiking shoes but they are quite expensive!! Finally I bought a cheap waist bag :D We went to eat some Takoyaki and then went to a dessert restaurant to have a midnight dessert! We had durian sago with grapefruit and durian Puff Pastry!!! Yummy!!! Who say durian is suck? LOL No way!!

"durian Puff Pastry"

MAKE UP CLASS + HAIR TRIM

Joined the make up class at BEAUTÉ de KOSÉ today. Learned some make up skills but then bought a lot of products :D I'm too easy to be tempted LOL Then I went to salon and had hair trim. I got layered hair cut with much various layers but the effect isn't that good. I think I really need to have a straight perm, otherwise it's hard to manage...

JAPANESE CUISINE

Dinner at Gomitori with colleagues tonight. It's a traditional Japanese Iyakaya. The chef is a Japanese. This restaurant is very small but neat, they are famous for skewered chicken. The food was really so delicious!! It's good to order beer and enjoy the food. The only bad thing is their service was bad and helpful and it's quit expensive. We didn't eat many food so we went to another Japanese restaurant Ka Ma To.

We had our second round at Ka Ma To and we ordered some snacks and drinks. The restaurant is face to Victoria Harbour and the view is excellent. The food was quite food and I liked the boiled green soy!!

MOVING OFFICE PART II

"my desk is a bit messy after moving"

"I have 2 toys to accompany with me :D Just to block my manager's sight"

Finally we have moved to the new office!! It's much more bigger than the old one and the office and warehouse are seperate now. I don't really like this office and my seat, before I was sitting next to my manager but now she is sitting behind me and she can see my PC!! Darn!! No more privacy now!! Though I don't slacking at work, I don't like to be monitored.

These weeks I have been so busy of preparing the moving stuff and make sure the arrangement is fine, it really tires me out!! I just hope everything will be settled down soon!! It can be bad that to be trusted by my manager coz she won't give the job to someone she doesn't trust!! I have confidence to do things well but it doesn't mean I can manage to do everything! I only have 2 hands!! Can anyone give me a hand?

I LOVE WEEKEND

Oh I really love weekend. Of course most of the people like to have weekend to relax or have fun but the reason I like weekend is more than that. It's more like you are expected for something that you have been waiting for a long time, you feel bright when it's getter closer. I quite like my weekend schedule now :D

MOVING OFFICE PART I

Gotta go to work today becoz we are going to move our office. Today is the part I, we move the warehouse first and then on Wednesday we will movie our office. Thought we move to 10/F of the same building, there are still lot of things to prepare and follow. I was assigned to superintend the porters and make sure the progress is smooth. Lucky me I didn't need to pack and unpack the stuff :D Hopefully everything will be fine on Wednesday, I don't want to get any problem and to be blamed!

SICK@HOME

I'm so sick today. I caught a cold when I was in Macau. It has been cold these days and I didn't wear enough clothes... Nothing much serious, I just got running nose, sore throat and cough. Last night I saw the doctor and he just advised me to sleep more, drink more water and then gave me some medicines. I hate to take medicine but I have no choice.

I wanted to go to work today but finally I chosed to rest at home coz these medicines make me feel lethargic. I just worked on some urgent stuff at home in the morning and then slept for the whole afternoon. I don't feel better after a long sleep but I'm happy that I could laze around at home while everybody was working :D Hopefully I won't have too much work to do tomorrow!!

I WISH YOU LOVE

I like this song very much in both French and English version. The haunting melody evokes my memories wistfully. The Original French Version is Que reste-t-il de nos amours, I don't understand the French lyrics. I only know the song name Que reste-t-il means What remains of our Love. The melody is deeply touching my heart.

I WISH YOU LOVE
English lyrics by Albert A. Beach

Goodbye, no use leading with our chins
This is where our story ends
Never lovers, ever friends
Goodbye, let our hearts call it a day
But before you walk away
I sincerely want to say
I wish you bluebirds in the spring
To give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss, but more than this
I wish you love
And in July a lemonade
To cool you in some leafy glade
I wish you health
But more than wealth
I wish you love
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best
My very best
I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
I wish you love
I wish you love, love, love, love, love
I wish you love

NAM SHAN WAI

Many people say Nam Shan Wai is very beautiful and photographers like to go there to take pics. My colleague suggested to go there to see how it is, it locates in Yuen Long and it's very far away. We should have assembled earlier at Yuen Long Western Railway but we all were late so finally it was nearly 4pm when we arrived Nam Shan Wai. We walked along the path but we all were not sure if we were on the right way. Nam Shan Wai wasn't as good as I expected. There were rivier, birds, trees and flowers but that's only what I could see LOL :D we only took few pics and didn't walk a long way coz the sun was setting and it was growing dark. I think next time we have to collect all the information before!!

TRIP TO MACAU

This is my second time to go to Macau!! We just went there for a day coz Macau is too small and we wasn't going to casino so one day is enough. When we landed there, it was nearly noon so we just headed to "RUA Santa Clara" to look for food. Someone recommended me that a little restaurant which is famous for crab congee. The Congee was really good and we also tasted Wanton noodles with shrimp dried roe. It was good!!

After lunch, we walked pass through St. Dominic's Square to The Ruins of St. Pauls. There were so many people!! Most of them are from Mainland China. We didn't stay there long, just took few pics and had a walk.


Then we took a bus to Coloane and had an afternoon tea at Andrew Stow's cafe. I had an Portuguese egg tart and a cup of hot Latte! It tasted so good!! It was so relaxing to enjoy afternoon tea, read newspaper and chichat. I think Macau people are less stressed than Hong Kongers and they are rather slow pace. May be they inherit the laziness from Portuguese :D

It was dusk already after afternoon tea. We had a walk at Avenida 5 de Outubro. It's a quiet calm place. Cologne is quite different with Macau peninsula, it's more like the Lamma Island in Hong Kong. Not crowded and not many shops.

Dinner at a Portuguese restaurant at Taipa. We had codfish cake, garlic bread, fried Portuguese sasuages with vegetables and Portuguese curry with Prawn!! Wow the Portuguess curry with Prawn is a must eat food!! So delicious!! A perfect match with the garlic bread!! Yummy :D

After dinner we went back to The Ruins of St. Pauls, took some night pics and then bought souvenirs. Then we went to Fisherman's Wharf, the rides were closed but the shops and restaurants were still opened. It's strange that there are Portugal souvenir shops though Macau was Portuguese colony. I can't see we have British souvenirs in Hong Kong LOL

INCOMPETENT MANAGER

I'm a bit sick of working in this company. Too many workloads but no rewards, also a double-faced manager and a stupid system are enough to tire me out. I didn't know a good mangement was so important. My manager isn't a good leader and she likes to shirk all responsibilities and pretend she doesn't know anything. If she likes someone, she will appreciate no matter he/she works well or not. If she doesn't like someone, she will only see his/her bad side and weakness. Too subjective!! Is it what we should learn to survive in a company? Too butter up your boss? I really hate that!!

PHOTOS DE DARWIN WIGGETT

Present time at last!! Wow!! A photo album collection of Darwin Wiggett!! Amazing photos!! I enjoy it a lot and I like it very much!! I wonder what kind of equipment he uses ;) So gorgeous!! "To be a better nature photographer, be a better naturalist!!"

AN OLD FRIEND

An old friend just told me he is going to get married that year. A little bit surprised coz I remember last year I saw him, he seemed didn't have plan yet. We have known for nearly 10 years and I still remember how we worked on a project in institute and I feel like it was just happened few years ago. We were still teens but soon he will be a groom!! Time runs so fast!! Oh 10 years!! I suddenly realise friends around me are in marriageable age, so we are getting to another stage of life? Oh I really don't want to grow old!!

PENGUIN + FUDGE

Yay!! A new member for my teddy bear collection! Hehee Thanks a lot!! I like it sooo much!! It's very cute and huggable!! I like the bobble hat on his hat, can I have one? LOL Wow! Vanilla Fudge! I almost forget how the fudge tastes like since I only had once before :P It's good to eat again!! :D

BLOOD DIAMOND

This film shows the cruel reality of the Diamond, I came out in some shock, wondering how many people sufferd in this world for the products many people have enjoyed. Leonardo's acting is superb, I think he deserves to win the oscar!! It wouldn't be possible if he wasn't nominated. The story is great and unpreditacble, I think the ending is excellent tho it's a bit sad. A must see film!!

SAVING PRIVATE RYAN

I'm not a big fans of War film but someone recommended me to watch it. It's really great!! The battle scenes are strong with excellent stunning visuals which made the film so realistic, also the acting is good!! What a well-meaning film!!

A NEW FRENCH TEACHER

I've changed the French class and now I have a new French teaher!! Great!! This teacher is a very funny person, his class was interesting and full of laugh!! I feel happier to be in his class and I have movitation to learn better French now LOL Before that Chinese teacher was really suck!! But this teacher likes to make fun of English people LOL May be he is a typical Frenchman who doesn't like Englishman? :D

TIME HEALS

There is a saying "Time is a great healer", I think it's quite true. Though it's a little bit difficult at the begining, if you go on your life, keep yourself busy and then time goes by, one day you look back and you will find that you walk out from it eventually. It's not as difficult as you thought. If you keep dwelling on it, you will only suffer more. Human brain isn't like a computer, you can't erase things easily but you can get over it. It's all about time!

SPRING DEER RESTAURANT

Dinner at Spring Deer Restaurant with family and relatives tonight. Aunt and uncle are going back to Toronto tomorrow so we farewell with them. It won't be too soon to see them again next time. We ordered many dishes, Peking Duck, Kung Po Chicken, Stir Fry Mixed Vegetables, Sour & Sweet Fish, Fried beancurd... I liked the Peking Duck, it was good! I think it was better that the Peking Garden Restaurant. Better food, better service and cheaper price!!

HOTPOT + MOVIE

Dinner at Little Sheep Hotpot tonight. We didn't mean to eat there but becoz of some reasons we had to fix the problem and chose the nearest Hotpot restaurant. This restaurant is famous for sliced lamb hotpot, actually I don't really like eating lamb and Mogolian style hotpot but we had no choice. I still prefer Cantonese style hotpot :D Overall it was ok, not too bad.

After dinner, we went to watch "THE HOLIDAY". Kinda holiday movie and it would be better to watch during Christmas. I'm not that into chick flicks but I think this movie is good! Quite an entertaining storyline and likable actors. It was so funny!! Jude Law is very cute :D LOL

FRENCH TEACHER

I didn't feel like taking the French lesson tonight coz I really dislike this teacher. His class was still so boring and I couldn't follow up what he said. Finally I paid to change to another class so start from next week, I will have a real French teacher!! Yay!! I don't know how the new teacher will be but at least he won't bull shit Cantonese in the class :D Hopefully he is as good as my 1st teacher!! Well I really gotta revise my French now!!

salle des pas perdus

Kinda stressed out these days, got a chance to listen this album and it's good! Her soft, silky voice blends with light jazz melodies relax me a bit especially in the middle of the night.

DUN WANNA BURN OUTTA ENTHUSIASM

After 2 week holiday, my 2nd term of French lesson was started tonight. I knew there would be another teacher to teach us and I expected she/he would be a French teacher like last term but when I went into the classroom, I was so disappointed!! He is a Chinese old man!! I don't have any bias but as per my past experiences, it's better to learn foreign language from the native speaker. This teacher is native speaker but the problem is he is Chinese. He usually spoke Cantonese in the class and he explained in Cantonese. I don't like it. And obviously his teaching method isn't as good as the previous one. His class was so boring!! Oh my god!! I can't imagine how boring it will be for the coming lessons!! I can't bear!!

I really want to change another class but the schedule isn't good. But I want a French teacher!! I don't want this teacher to burn out my enthusiasm of learning French!!! A good teacher is very important!! Kinda frustrated now...

ACHING MUSCLES / X'MAS GIFT

I have aching muscles today!! I knew it!! After the long hour hiking yesterday, my lower legs are aching all over!! Really don't wanna walk especially downstairs and slopes. But I had no time to do exercise to stretch the leg muscles in the morning...

And tonight I played badminton with my colleagues coz they booked the court a week ago and I had to go. I think I haven't played badminton for 5-6 years, seems I'm still not too bad :D Not my favourite sports tho, it was fun. It would be better if my legs were fine LOL I was too lazy and painful to move!!

Yay! Got a Christmas present!! Merci beaucoup!! Je suis très heureuse!! Although Christmas is over, it's always good to receive a gift ;) I'm tempted to open to see what it is but I will be patient to wait until samedi... Heheee :D Quite heavy and thin, is it really a book? :P I'm sure I will like it!! ;)

YUEN TSUEN ANCIENT TRAIL + LAO FAO SHAN

++ yuen tsuen ancient trail ++

-

Hiking at Yuen Tsuen Ancient Trail!! Last time I couldn't finish this trail becoz I was sick, today I'm in very good condition!! We hiked for 6 more hours!! I'm extremly tired and I feel like my legs are not mine now!!

-

++ opening oysters ++

After hiking, we went to Lao Fao Shan to eat fresh oysters. The grilled Oysters and Deep Fried Oysters tasted so fresh and good!! But I liked grilled Oysters more! It was so cheap and delicious!!

++ sunset at lao fao shan ++

NO DOUBLE PAY?!!

My manager promised that I would have double pay but after checking bank account, I got nothing!! I asked her but she thought I got it already. Then I asked the accountant and she said only staffs who have worked for 12 months have double pay. What does it mean? I'm a little bit angry with it coz I feel like they are fooling me. It ruins my plan for this year!! My manger said she would confirm with boss but I doubt...

une bonne résolution

1. Save money and go travel at least once or twice a year
2. Speaking French fluently within 3 years, at least I can communicate with French people without any problem
3. Do something what I like without hestitation
4. Not being lazy anymore
5. Take Japanese Proficiency Test Level one and get passed
6. Learn something interesting like dancing, ice skiing, photography, saxophone or violin
7. Buy a SLR Digital Camera if I can afford
8. Learn to manage my income well, not to spend more than I earn
9. Keep Fit and healthy
10. Get my nimble fingers back and play piano as good as I did

la Saint-Sylvestre

Uncle and aunt who live in Toronto have come back to Hong Kong for vacation. They haven't come back for 19 years! The last time I saw them was in Toronto in 1999. I didn't realise they have moved there for such long time!! We all family and relatives gathered at one cousin's home and had barbarcued dinner. Barbecue for me again!! Isn't it too much for this month? LOL But anyway we all had good time!!

I got a flash, tripod and 2 black & white films!! Yay!! I got everything I need now, I think I really should use my SLR Camera!! Do I look more like a professional photographer? :D

NETWORK GOT FIXED

I have been a bit annoyed that I couldn't access internet. I know the earthquake in Taiwan broke 6 undersea cables and I was patient enough to wait for the recovery. But what made me feel annoyed is I could browse local websites at work, my freinds could access internet at home but I couldn't do anything at my home PC! PCCW sent a technican to fix the problem this afternoon. He changed a new modem and the landline plug. I have no idea why the earthquake can affect my modem. Anyway it works so well now and I'm quite appreciated with their service this time. But I think I should consider to keep using Netivagtor or not. Seems I-Cable and HK broadband are better eventho they are cheaper.

COMPENSATION LEAVE, BBQ

++ View from the barbecue site ++

Got compensation leave today coz last Saturday I had to work. I went barbecue with colleagues at Pak Tam Chung. My Korean colleague prepared many Korean salad, beef, pork and chicken wings. She even bought Korean wine!! So great!! I love barbecue!! :P

FINISH WORK FOR 2006

Finally I've finished some reports and urgent stuff today. Tomorrow auditor will come so I can't wait to do my work after new year. But I can imagine how busy I will be after new year!!! This year really runs so fast!! I've worked here for a year already!!

After work I had dinner with colleagues at Fat Angelo, just wanna relax and celebrate for the year end. I feel like there is a clique at work, Japanese in group and we Hong Kongers and Korean in a group. Not really a clique but it's just sometimes we are like outsiders when those Japanese colleagues are talking something about the company stuff. Anyway I'm not going to invlove into anything, I just wanna work well.

JUNK

Walked along Tsim Sha Tsui and then saw a junk at Victoria Harbour. I have never seen a junk so close to me and it looks great!! I didn't bring my digital camera with me so I could only take pics with my mobile. I really wanted to get on the junk... it must be fun!

BOXING DAY

Got a gift from my friend on 24th, finally I manage to open it today. Heheee It's a nice wrist rest!! I will use it at work!! Thank you!! Luckily I didn't open it that day :D I can imagine how you all look like if I opened it in front of you guys!! LOL Anyway I like it a lot!!

Joyeux Noël

Merry Christmas!! Yay! I bought a lots of things for myself today!! Some clothes, a coat, earring, and a watch for my Christmas present LOL Oh I'm bankrupt now LOL I didn't mean to buy a watch but I couldn't resist when I saw it :P

Dinner at Han Ah Rum Korean Restaurant, it was great. We ordered too much food and we all were so full!! We had barbecued beef, pork, Korean damplings, Korea Sushi, a spicy hotpot and a beef hotpot!! This spicy hotpot wasn't too spicy but it looked terribly hot lol It's nice tho. I think I should stop eating so much now lol Recently I have been eaten a lot!! That's enough LOL

la veille de Noël

Finally it's Christmas Eve!! I have been waiting for my Christmas holiday for a long time!! I thought I could have a nice long sleep until noon since I have been lack of sleep but I was waken by a phone call from post office in the early morning!! The postman called to make sure if I was home and he wanted to deliver me something. I thought it was a Christmas gift from someone, but it's only something that I ordered from the internet a week ago. I thought it would arrive in January!! So efficient that it arrives before X'mas!!

At night I had Christmas dinner with friends at Shooter! Not too expensive, I liked the soup and the ribs!! It wasn't expensive. And we ate a lot!! It would be better if the restaurant has better X'mas atmosphere :P

After dinner, we went to the Peak. It was soooo cold!! But the sky was clear and I could see the nice beautiful night view of Hong Kong!! Wow!! I didn't know the nightview could be so impressive!!

PARTY NITE, WORN OUT

What a tiring day!! I'm worn out!! Last night I went for party until 3am and then today I still had to work! I only had 2 hour sleep! I hate working on Saturday!! Althought I will have compensation leave on the coming Friday, there is no meaning. My head is so hurt coz I drank too much and I didn't get enough sleep. I shouldn't have drunk so much lol Well at least I can come home by myself lol

My company doesn't have any Christmas party, I think Japanese really don't really care about Christmas. But suprisingly we all have some gifts from company. What gifts? Those cosmestic samples from suppliers, damaged, defected and returned goods from customers! Oh my god! Some products are expired, I don't think I will use it. My company is so stingy lol Or my company is so "generous" to give these gifts for us.

AN EARLY X'MAS PRESENT

I got an early X'mas Present! A very nice calendar!! Thank you so much!! I like it a lot! I forgot I should wait to open it in Boxing day :P I'm too impatient lol It's really good to have a new calendar, the calendar on my wall now is still Michael Owen Calender 2005 :D Looking at this new calendar make me want to go travel. I think I really need to make a travel plan soon...

SORABOL + AZABUSABO

Dinner at Sorabol tonight! We had a luxuary set and it was great. Not really luxuary tho but someone said it was too expensive lol Oh well that's why we can only have luxuary dinner when he is not in lol After dinner it's our dessert time again! We went to Azabusabo to eat ice-cream. I'm quite annoyed with the service of this restaurant but I like the ice-cream. Yummy! :D

PO CHAI RICE

It's so cold today!! 12 degrees! I was reluctant to wake up this morning. It's like dragging myself out of bed LOL Becoz of that, I was late!! 9:01am!! Shit! Why the lifts always take so long to the upper floor? I think those people who are going lower floors should walk up the stairs LOL It's good for health! LOL Hopefully our office will move to 10/F soon! At least I can save 3-4mins! ;)

I really wanted to eat Casserole Rice (Po Chai Rice) today. It's too cold! Nothing is better that eating "Po Chai Rice" to keep yourself warm!! Murshoom chicken in Rice is really perfect match!! Yummy! (o^_^o) My rice cooker has a function to make casserole but I think it can't be compare with the tradition one!

PRISON BREAK SEASON 2

Finally I have finsiehd watching Prison Break Season 2. It took me long time to finish it! I have been too busy and I hardly managed time to watch it. I can't wait for the season 3!! It will be released on 22 January!! Still have a month to wait!! That's too long!!

THANKS GOD!!

I feel so relieved today!! Thanks god!! After checking in the hospital, the doctor said I'm all clear now!! I have worried for few days!! But I still need to be careful and I don't want to get infected again. Nothing is better than health!!!

Afterward, I had hair trim at Hair Peace. I just walked in and I didn't make appointment with any hair stylist. This hair stylist suggested to do straight perm but I didn't have much time. And then he said curly hair suited me. Straight or perm? Sounds like he wanted me to pay more for doing more things on my hair but not only a hair trim.

Then shopping around at TST but I couldn't get what I want. Someone had crazy shopping but I only bought a scarf!! Not really satisfied but better than nothing :P

DINNER WITH SUPPLIER

Dinner with a supplier tonight. We usually talk on phone and make orders but it is our first time to meet. Actually we were not coming out for talking about business. It's not convenient to talk about non business stuff at work. But then it turned out mainly talking about our works and colleagues. Too much things to complain lol But we ate quite a lot, 2 people but had 4 dishes!! Isn't it too much? Hehee :P

EXPECTATION

people tend to like hearing something good eventhough deep in their heart, they are sure that things are not going like what they expected. I did expect something but it's not what I can control. So when I knew that, I felt a bit upset. It's not easy to get it out of my mind. It happend before, I still remember that night, my reaction, my feelings. It was just like tasting a dark chocolate. That's why I only like white chocolate. I don't like the bitter taste. C'est la vie?

BOWLING, BAD SCORE!!

I hardly concentrated on work today. May be I've got that Monday morning feeling. Or may be becoz of the dream last night. Or may be something which is stuck on my mind. Yes I really should set a goal, but I still don't know. I don't have a clear mind and a future goal like someone. Experiment? Hmmm I'm still finding out the answer. It's not easy.

-

I played bowling with colleagues tonight. Well... comparing with last time, my score is bad!! Why is like that? I can't believe!!

MY DESIRE?

What is my desire now? Only one thing coming up on my mind. I don't want to consider too much but I have to!! Sometimes not everything is under your control. No matter how much you want to do or get something, if it doesn't suit you or it doesn't belong to you, you can only let it go and act like you don't care. It's hard and you may regret but at least nothing will get involve in it.

Someone told me, if you want to make it in this world, you have to know what you are worth and what you are capable of doing. Relying on others is not a good strategy towards advancing in life. What a positive thinking! So I should pay effort to get something I want!! But is it possible?

BBQ at SAI KUNG

Chilling out with friends at Sai Kung today. We had afternoon tea at Jaspas and we had some delicious dessert. They looked good but a bit sweet. It would be better if they added less sugar.

After tea we took some graduation pics for my friend, she has just graduated and she had her gown so we had some fun together. I found my new camera is very functional and powerful! So great!! :D

Then we barbecued at Sai Kung Flea Market. The food was ok, not too many choice but at least there was grill and we were no need to set the fire by ourselves. For me, I still prefer the traditional BBQ, we buy the food from supermarket, look for the barbecue site and set the fire by ourselve, it is more fun!

Cross dat bridge when I come to it

Whenever I don't know how to settle a problem, what I can do is to neglect it. It seems like I will not worry about a possible problem but will deal with it if it happens. But actually I feel sick of facing the problem. I hate I'm not tough enough to deal with knotty stuff. Am I too easy to be led by the nose? May be I'm a good actor that I can deceive everyone but sadly I can't deceive myself. How can I get rid of troubles?

BUSY SUNDAY, NOTHING GOOD

I overslept!! Luckily I still arrived the Convention Centre on time to take the Japanese proficiency test. I couldn't concentrate on the test coz I was too sleepy and I got headache. I kept yawning and I almost fell asleep!! Anyway I don't have any expectation on it. I know I can't pass, unless I was so lucky to choose 70% right answers! Why the passing mark is 70% not 60%? So difficult to get pass!! Haste makes waste?

After test, I rushed back to office coz I had lots thing that I didn't finish on Friday. I didn't want to go back but I had no choice. Hopefully the new staff will come, I feel like I can't bear soon.

Dinner with family at Cafe Lagoon. Actually we have booked Dan Tai Fung but someone suddenly changed his mind!! It's strange that Dad only likes Chinese food but suddenly he chose to eat steak! I think the only reason is he doesn't want to wait for the table. If he really wants to eat steak, I wouldn't choose there. What da suck!! I ordered medium rare steak but it was like well-done!! The steak was bad, like chewing gum!! The foie gras was bitter and it didn't taste like foie gras. The waiters weren't well-trainned and I was annoyed with the poor service. Overall this restaurant is crap!! I will never go there again!! Wasting my money!!

CURRY FAVOUR

So BUSY today!!! Suddenly I had to meet the client and had meeting! Why didn't let me know earlier!! I hate to be informed so late. My manager acted a bit strange today... I wanted to work as long as I have finished some urgent stuff but then suddenly she suggested to have dinner with the assistant manager after 8pm. It makes me feel like she wants to curry favour with someone (obviously not me!!). I know she feels threatened since the assisant manager has joined this company. She lacks leadership and ability, no wonder why she has to do that.
