5 weird things i've done in this week!

yesterday, just before a client's meeting, i just decided to name my blackberry "Peter". and i demanded my colleague to say "hi" to "Peter". she didnt. she said im freaky. haha

recently, i have been asking guys a very interesting question. " have you ever wonder if you like men instead of women? " 90% was " No, what are you talking about? ", 5% was " Are you crazy? " and the last 5% went " Are you a lesbian? " HAHA. seriously, i did wonder if i like girls in that manner, i tried, but i couldnt. sorry.

throughout the movie " Transformers", i kept telling myself: Optimus Prime is sooo handsome that I wanna marry him!!! to be honest, this kinda freaked myself out. but then again, is Optimus Prime a man or a woman? looking at his pictures, i think it's a "she". why? apparently he has boobs and no dick! haha! so maybe i am a lesbian afterall. look:



been asking for help to fulfil one of my fantasies - to direct a pornography. yes, i really want to direct a porn movie. i want to watch it live and to see how it goes. havent really found anyone who is willing to partner with me on that. but then again, i dont think this might even happen. haha

im actually flirting with one of our IT guys in Singapore. super weird. it all started when i messaged him to ask him some work-related questions. he asked when will i be back as he wants to bring me out for dinner ( so weird. we've never even gone out for lunch!! ). i said august as i got a wedding to attend. he asked me when is it my turn. typical me replied " whenever you're ready to marry me " and then he started his ideals about not getting married but having committed fun and typical me go " im cool with that arrangement " and it went on and on and on and now, we're actually chatting quite regularly. mmm, i do think he's kinda cute. *grins*

Today is Father's Day...

in my family, Father's Day is not as celebrated as much as Mother's Day. I guess the reason is because my grandfathers are no longer around. in fact, i have never met my grandfathers but i was told by my maternal grandmother that my grandfather doted on me like crazy. i would love to meet him, seriously. and i've also heard stories of my grandfather via my uncles. i think he's a really cool grandfather!

as for my own father, thinking back, i havent seen him since October 2008. Before i moved to HK, he moved to South Africa to work. he didnt even managed to go back to Singapore during CNY. i wonder if he missed us. i know he does call home quite often as my mum will tell me about it. i only recieved his sms once or twice. and i only managed to talk to him once. the thought of calling him to wish him " happy father's day " didnt cross my mind until my friend asked me just now " so have you wish your father? " darn. im not a very good daughter ya? to be honest, i wont say i miss him but i wont say i dont miss him. it's a mixed feeling. i do miss him. my father really dotes on me too. ever since young, i know he treats me better than he treats my brothers. guess that's why the term " daddy's girl " is actaually reflective of reality. however, my father has some very bad habits which i really hates. i've scolded him before with regards to that and i did quite a fierce job, even my brothers were surprised. *grins* anyway, no matter what, i still love my dad because no matter how horrible he is, he's still my dad.

if i was asked how would i define a "perfect" dad, i would say i want my dad to...



as handsome as George Clooney *drools*



as smart as Warren Buffet *snickers*



as rich as Bill Gates *laughs*



as kind as Jesus Christ *smilez*

ook i think im dreaming but well this is why it's called a "Perfect Dad". no one in the world is perfect, no one. so i think it's fair enough for me to dream about having a father like that, nothing more, nothing less, just perfect.

oh well, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

Family Time!

my semi-extended family visted me 2 weeks ago. i was very happy to have them here but yet i was also very tired bringing them around to places im not very familiar with. HAHA. yes im not a very good guide lah. there are many places which i myeslf havent even visited. but anyhow, i believe they still managed to have a good holiday - eat, shop, sleep, eat, shop, sleep, eat, shop, sleep!

for accommodation, it is impossible to house all 7 of them in my tiny house. if they were to stay with me, we can only stand, no other movements is possible! but they did visit my small and cosy house. so i rented a service apartment for them in Sham Shui Po but it's still too small. HAHA. it stated on the website that it has 3 bedrooms. well, considering the fact that 5 of them are going to stay in that house, we all assume that it's enough. unfortunately, we forgot that it's hong kong. the house was decent but the beds were sooooo small. my brother had to sleep on the sofa and he was complaining that he paid $388 to fly to hong kong to sleep on the sofa and demanded that i give him back his money. HAHA. like i will.

but because they were here, i managed to visit Lantau Island and also Disneyland. i have always wanted to visit Lantau Island but was always too lazy. but finally managed to do it. it's pretty and nice. one could feel a sense a peace when one's there. not sure if it's because there arent tall buildings and the air is fresher up on the hill or because it's a buddhist place. anyhow, it was pretty pretty.

took the cable car up. pretty scary at some areas. wind was pretty strong too. the cable car shook. mum was scared. grandma was excited. haha



Grandma doesnt have the strength to climb up the stairs. so she could only take a picture from the bottom. a very pretty picture of my grandma. wonder if i would look as pretty as her when im old.



not sure if im allowed to take pictures but i snapped this while a group of ang mohs were busy snapping. i guess i was hoping no one realized that i took one too.



the BIG BUDDHA.

the big Buddha closed-up. basically at the bottom of the Buddha is like a resting place for the dead. Anita Mui's ashes were there and there were soo many offerings at her picture. cant take a picture though.

had another good day at DisneyLand. it's really small. you can finish the whole park in one day. as compared to the Anaheim, it's really very very tiny. but i like the fact that it's tiny. so i can finish everything in one day and wont have to make a 2nd trip. but it's a little bit tooo expensive. the entry ticket cost HKD 350 bucks!!! too much for such a small park.



pretty right??



that's me jumping. this was my 2nd or 3rd try. it was soo hard to capture a nice jump shot. but somehow, i managed to do it. haha my mum attempted too but failed. so funny. but seriously, it's very tiring.



i have to share this picture because i thought i look quite pretty here. HAHAHA. but i think the credit has to go to my brother's gf who took this picture for me. hee hee



family portrait!! very pretty right. everyone's looking happy and good!!!



they actually have this HSM thingy going on. i was pretty excited and forced my family to wait for them to come out. however i was utterly disappointed. i mean i know they are not the real cast but seriously, the hk cast is ANNOYING. the girl on the left has the MOST annoying voice ever and she kept sprouting in cantonsese " go wildcats" argh. i feel like telling her to shuddup and go home and sleep. and i think they should have learnt the dance steps of HSM instead of dancing their own ugly ones. *puke* but i still stayed for the whole show as i really like HSM. so lame right?

anyway, next time when my family is here again, we can go to the outskirts of Hong Kong or maybe Macau. didnt manage to visit Macau this time ( although it's in the plan ) because my grandma is kinda too old to walk so much. oh wells, maybe next time, we can just do a Macau trip and so it wont be so tiring.

Stressssssss

ever felt like this? i believe everyone has their stressful moments every now and then. stress is something which is inevitable. it is something that we have a love-hate relationship with. something we would not want to have but yet we cannot live without. i am not exactly feeling stressed now but yet i am stressed. not physically but mentally, emotionally and financially. HAHA.

i believe everyone's always financially stressed. even when you have 1 billion in your account, you will be stressed about when will you make your next billion. and when you made that next billion, you will be stressed over the next billion. vicious cycle. it will go on and on and on and on. i think the only time is when you're almost dying. HAHA. personally, im financially stressed as usual and as always. i always say i need to save and etc etc but the next moment, i'll book myself a tour to Bali or buy myself clothes and bags. HAHA this is bad, really bad.

physically stressed to me is when someone or something was physically by your side to stressed you. i am not exactly experiencing this stress although at work, i am sitting next to my boss. he doesnt strees me physically. sometimes, but rarely, he would be at my side, looking over my shoulders and watching what im doing or asking me to do something. very seldom i get such stress. ( thank God for that ) although at times, he would ask me where i am going or what im doing but usually he just let me go after that question. think he's just kaypoh. haha.

BUT...my boss is very very good at giving me mental stress. i dont know how he does it. but when he's stressed, im naturally stressed. it's like he need not even turn to me and say " i need this, i need that, i blah blah blah " seriously, i have no idea how he did that. and when i said to him " STOP STRESSING ME OUT " and he would go " i didnt. you give that stress to yourself " . come to think of it, he's right in some sense. either he's very influential or im very impressionable. hmmm, i wonder.

unfortunately, i havent gotten the chance to be emotionally stressed. my love life is still ONE PIECE OF WHITE PLAIN PAPER. everyone asked me why and i really have no idea. everyone said im choosy but i really dont think so. maybe i am emotionally stressed when the person i like is not liking me back? but then, the person i like is usually NOT going to like me in return. haha how can i expect Tom Cruise to love me in return? sigh. and in reality, i dont know if it's because im not ready or im really choosy but i always seems to give out the " im not interested " signal when actually, im kinda interested. maybe im really choosy. maybe im shy. maybe im not really. i dont know lah. my grandma is forever hinting to me to get married. aah, actually i am feeling the emotional stress! yay! haha.

i think im so stressed that im kinda mad. my colleague always say im mad. but i really dont think im mad. im just normal. very very normal. seriously.

The Boys Are Back!

i think many people know i looooove boys. yes, boys, not men. not that i am a pheodophile but i really wonder why are they soooo good-looking and if i see them along the road, would they even look at me and think " wah, this auntie is hot! " actually i doubt so. besides, dont think i would even meet them in person. ha!

well, ZAC EFRON. yes, many said he's gay. many said he's ugly. but to me, he's oh-so-charming. look at this. those eyes, the hair, the face, everything. slurrrrrrrps! and not to forget, he can sing and dance pretty well too. sooo talented. if i have a son next time, i would want him to look like this. if not, i dont know if i still want my son. *gasps* im so shallow. haha! i've watched almost everything that has him in it. HSM, Hairspray, 17 Again. i think i watched everything that has him. and i can watch and re-watch and re-watch these shows over and over and over and over again! i think im just 5 cm away from being obesessed.

now, guess who is this?

this is Cedric Diggory in "Harry Potter - Globets of Fire". does he look familiar to you? or does he not? when i found this picture, i couldnt believe that it's him.

seriously, stark difference. Rob Pattinson has grown up and is now oh-so-charming and sexy. sluuuuurrrrp. he's not exactly a pretty face nor does he has exceptionally nice features but he exudes sexiness. he's like Johnny Depp, oh-so-sexy. however, i hated the movie. am reading the book now, much better. but still, too much loveeee and too little fighting and blood and vampires. but then again, it's supposed to be read by teenagers. but i hope it gets darker. only at the first book now.

and not to forget, my all-time favorite boy - Daniel Radcliffe. I really like him. sooo cute and soooo charming. he has really grown. even had a post just on him. Read THIS. if i were to run a search for the words " harry potter " in my archive, i think i can easily find at least 10 entries on that. that is how much i love harry potter. cant wait for the Half-Blood Prince in July. anticipating anxiously. and again, he has grown. actually, to be honest, he's not good-looking. but somehow, he is attractive in his own way.

these boys are sooo cute. i really wish my sons, if i have any, will look like them. then i'll be a very very proud mother. mmm, i think it means i have to marry an ang-moh? and do i have to marry a handsome ang-moh to get such handsome sons? what if i give birth to a daughter and she looks like one of them.*yucks* okay, i think im thinking wayyyy too much.

snippets

this was a short week, i only had to work for 3 days. because it's a holiday on Thursday ( DragonBoat Festival ) and I was sick on Wednesday. i was really sick, didnt fake it before the holiday. got a mc from the doctor. down with flu, normal flu, not swine flu. fully recovered already. supposed to go to a rave party on Wednesday night, didnt go. luckily another friend bought my ticket. went to Stanley Beach to catch the dragonboats. there were more people than boats. in fact, i think 99% of the population in Hong Kong was at that beach. apparently, it's not the boats that people were after. it's the after-party they were after. didnt stay that long. too tired. went back home and watched tv ( as usual ).

went a rave party on Friday night. Above and Beyond. OMG, the club was soooo cheesy. i felt like i was back in Sparks/Canto. very ah bengish and ah lianish. but still, it was good fun. music was really good. had light sticks and did my ah lian dance. HAHA. the dramatic friend brought her boyfriend who brought another friend. i didnt like that friend. he's touchy. always holding me and trying to rubba with me. DUDE, it's trance. you dont rubba. anyway, friend got drunk. very weird as well. she didnt drink that much. not that i know of. oh, a guy picked me up. HAHA. he's quite decent, not too "hum sup". was gentleman enough to send me home as well. called me the next day and today. let's see how things go.

drama friend was being drama AGAIN. told me over and over and over and over and over and over and over again not to tell anyone about her new boyfriend. okay, fine. i wrote about it here but i didnt use any names. so i asked her " eh, who can i tell to? " she replied " dont tell your boss lah " OMG. like my boss cared and was interested. she explained that her management do not encourage office relationships and it's a very sensitive period as the whole drama just happened. anyway, so i kept my promise, i didnt mention to anyone. during Friday party, she asked me not to tell the boyfriend' friend. so i kept that in mind. but they didnt behave. the moment the friend was out of sight, they started behaving like bf/gf. i warned her. she said " ooh apparently he knows already " fine. you and your boyfriend told me to keep it a secret but you guys went around telling people. contradictory!!!! anyway, doesnt really matter.

recently, i had locals telling me that i sound very very very gentle, unlike many girls. they liked my voice. they kept saying i had a nice voice and i talked very gently. weird. gentle? never a word anyone used to describe me. actually, i dont think it was a compliment. i dotn like "gentle". it seemed to me as a "weak" word. i dont like to be seen as weak. although i maybe weak, but i prefer to be seen as strong. HAHA. anyway, i think a hong kong friend once mentioned that i should be a DJ. guess the locals really like my voice. to be honest, i HATE my voice. i would prefer something deeper.

did i mention i've finally finished "Prison Break S4". loved the ending. then i "moved on" to "Grey's Anatomy S4". and guess what? i still love this show. McDreamy and McSteamy, ever so dreamy and steamy. i wished i was a sexy nurse. Lexie Grey, Meredith's sister, was super hot but super annoying. I HATE HER. she's an idiot. i wish they can just "kill" her off in the show. she even slept with Karev, whom i like very much, in the show. ANNOYED. okay, im being an idiot here. but aiyah, it's just me to get "excited" over shows.

funny friend

i have many friends/acquaintances in life. some remain, some move on, some disappear, some reappear, etc etc. of course i have some very good friends whom i will always keep and remember. but there are also some friends whom i am not sure if they will be my friends always but for now, i want to remember and keep this friend of mine.

once he was typing to me via instant chat about how horrible his day had been. he was typing for almost 1 min, describing in details what had happened and how bad he felt and etc etc. and in return i typed " tell me about it " and guess what? my friend got into a rage. he replied " WTF??! i just told you everything and you still ask me to tell you about it. cant you read? " i burst out laughing and couldnt stop for at least 2 mins. i told him that "tell me about it" is a phrase that people used to express that they share the same sentiments. he told me " come on, dont use your singlish on me now " OMG. it was soo hilarious that i couldnt stop laughing. when i told him it's not singlish but american english, he didnt believe me. so we went around asking a few american colleagues and only then, was he convinced.

i love this friend of mine. he's always giving me nicknames. first, he started calling me "wrestler". it started because he wanted me to donate money to UNICEF and i said i am already donating to WWF. and he went " why are you donating to the wrestling federation? are you a wrestler? " and i go " dude, it's WORLD WILDLIFE FOUNDATION and not WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION " and he was like " wrestler!! " and since then, im the wrestler. and it didnt help that i kinda look like one! then another time, i met him for a quick dinner around my place. so i was dressed in t-shirts, shorts and slippers. he saw me and said " why are you dressed like a filipino now? im so ashamed to be seen with you " i was sooo bewildered by his comments that i forgot to get angry. finally, i got back from phuket with a nice tan ( in my opinion, it's nice ) but he didnt like it. so he started calling me " thai farmer ". this guy is hilarious! now i told him im going to bali, he said " oh my god, you're coming back as an indonesian now. god. dont come near me. "

another time, we were talking about going to church togets to look for boyfriend/girlfriend. we were actually chatting about the different ways of getting to know more people. so i went " dude, dont go up to a girl during service and introduced yourself. that's too embarassing " and he went " ooh, that's quite a good idea. imagine, after service, i go up to this girl and say " hi, my name is xxxx. this is my first time here in church. how about you? wanna grab lunch? " good right? " again, i couldnt stop laughing. he was sooo serious about this and he actually showed me in person how he was going to do it. seriously, he was getting out of hand. told him again that he would be "banned" from the church and he went " come on, you know im joking " seriously, i had no idea.

it may not seemed that hiliarious when i penned it down. but seriously, at the moment when it happened, i laughed sooo hard that i started to tear. i really love this funny friend of mine. he made my stay in hong kong more enjoyable!!

stop the drama!!!

cannot believe that my friend is oh-so-dramatic!!! i mean we are almost 30 years old but she's acting like she's in high school. not that im complaining or anything, but she is sooooo drama!!

on saturday evening, i recieved a call from her. she asked me where i was and what i was doing. told her im at home because it's raining. then she started to sob and asked if i could drop by her house. i was very concerned and i wondered what could have happend. did she get fire? did she get rape? did she get cheated? so i bathed and took a bus to her house. upon reaching her house, she's on the line. she's talking to another friend and semi-sobbing. in my mind, i was like " this must be serious " so i waited for her to hang up. however, calls came one after another and i got a little bored. i mean seriously, i dont think she told me to go over to her house just to see her talk on the phone right? anyway from her little conversations here and there, i kinda know what's the issues.

RELATIONSHIP GONE WRONG.

seriously, in my mind, i was like "CHEY. BIG DEAL??!!" haha. anyway it turned out that this colleauge of hers (A), whom she hung out with very very often, told her last monday that he liked her. and then she realized that she liked him too. and it seems that A had a very possesive and jealous GF who made a big fuss over this when A told her that he was going to leave her for my friend. and then this GF went to speak to another colleague cum friend of my friend and this other girl started to hurl abuses at my friend, calling her a slut and saying that she had betrayed the trust. now seriously, tell me, how complicated was this issue? NOT AT ALL. but my friend dramatized it by saying that her reputation is gone, she's afraid that the GF would appear in the company and kick up a fuss, she's afraid that people would gossip about her and called her the slut, and she's very upset that the supposedly friend was angry with her without knowing anything, etc etc etc.

OH MY GOD. how high school is that? seriously, this is a very simple situation. handle it with professionalism and maturity. If someone kicked up a fuss, just be matured. If people started gossiping behind your back, maintain your professionalism and maturity but not responding to those nonsense. if she really liked A, then get A to speak to the GF, be firm, closed taht chapter and then move on. WHAT'S SO DIFFICULT? okay maybe it's easier said than done, but seriously, it's not THAT drama. so i told my friend " eh, it's very simple. why are you dramatizing it? " haha she said most lawyers are so drama. mmm, are they trying to be like "Alley Mcbeal" or "Boston Legal"? whatever.

well, i have no idea what's the ending of this drama as i wasnt very interested. most probably, the GF will threaten to commit suicide but A would be firm and be with my friend. Then the GF will move on and A would be with my friend and the other girl, was not in the picture at all. Period.

*yawnz* why dramatize such a simple issue? waste of time and effort. seriously. i would rather spend it watching Prison Break. that's real drama. 2 more episodes and im done with season 4. kinda boring. hope there's no more season 5. cant take that drama anymore.

satisfied, hate, pissed

i kinda like "Angels & Demons". watched it yesterday. not as bad as "Da Vinci Code" but of course, the books are still better. they explained the whole plot and it made more sense. but anyhow, for someone who didnt read the book, it's pretty exciting. and Ewan McGregor is amazing. but funnily, i couldnt name it throughout the whole show. HAHA i was like " duhz, i know this guy. what's his name? " so i had to stay to read the credits and i went " ahhhhhh, ewannnnnn " but it's a good movie. next one that i so need to watch - "Duplicity".

didnt know i have an extremely dumb colleague. was having lunch with 2 of them on sunday after church. one of them (K) was talking about asking for approval to work out of the London office. so the other colleague (Y) asked her why does she need to that. so K explained that she wanted to visit her friends in London (she used to study in London) and she wanted to stay longer by taking a week off and working in the London office for another week. so Y told her to just take 2 weeks off as the management will never approve. besides, we're of different time zone and there's no reason for K to work in London. K argued saying that she is working on some special projects with London colleagues and she's not asking the company to pay anything but just allowing her to work in London. and then Y argued back saying that her manager is constantly on the phone with the London folks but we dont see him visiting London office at all. and K had the cheek to say that our company is so unreasonable to not allow an employee to work in a foreign office at their own expense. OMFG! is she stupid or what? so i told her to wake up her ideas and stop being so idealistic. yes, we protrayed ourselves as flat and flexibile but in reality, it's not always the case. and she still aruged that this is not reasonable and she didnt understand why she couldnt get the approval. i lost my patience and told her to go freaking screw herself up and asked. if she succeed, do let me know so that i can ask for the same approvals too. GAWD, I HATE STUPID PEOPLE. she can jolly well eat shit and die. our earth's natural and precious resources are depleting and we have an idiot here using up all oxygen, water, and etc etc. NO IQ, NO EQ. kill her please.

my boss' dog died over the weekend and i think he's sad. so i ask if he was okay and he said he's fine. so fine. then another colleague of mine ( who also happened to be boss's good friend and happened to be in taipei ) kept texting me to ask me how is boss and if i can hang out with him during the weekend. WARRAU. do i look like a geisha to you? seriously, she and boss are good friends and so i understand why she would want to make sure he's alright. BUT, dont ask me to do things on behalf of you just because you're not around. and besides, it's so farking fake. i mean to be honest, yes i know he's sad but do i look like i care that much? NO! she kept asking me if i managed to go out with him and if he's alright. i told her to leave me and him alone. then when she's back in HK, she asked me again if imeeting him and i told her to meet him herself since she's back and she said she's too tired. WTF. i really think it's too much. i cant take it. then today, she told me that we shall take turns to have dinner with him. warrau. what is this? yes he's sad and all but im not a friend of his, you are. dont drag me into such shit. pissed. dont wanna be a geisha.

Ami James was/is in Hong Kong

guess what? i think i am really in luck. i bumped into one of my favorite celebrity!!!

i am SOOO SERIOUS, NOT LYING at all. was walking back from a client's place with my colleague on Thursday. was talking to my colleague while my eyes are roaming ( as usual ). then i spotted a bald guy and started checking him out. saw that his hands are all inked and i was like " wow ". then while my eyes moved upwards, i saw a buddha tattoo on the side of his neck and it suddenly dawned on me. OH MY FREAKING GOD. IT'S AMI JAMES FROM MIAMI INK. so immediately, i went " OMG, isnt that AMI? " not sure if he heard me but his friend heard me for sure because his friend turned to look at me. HAHA. and my colleague was like " HUH?" and i was like gasping for air and kept saying " OMG" continously for 1 min. i was soooooo stupid. i could have run up to him and said " hi " and invited him to a drinks at LKF after work. ARGH. sooooo stupid. but seriously i was soooo stumped and shocked that i dont know what to say or do.

so given his character, i would assume he would be hanging out at LKF. so on Friday and Saturday, i forced my friend to prowl LKF with me. HAHA but alas, no luck at all. one of my colleagues' boyfriend owns a few bars on LKF and she texted his "crew" to keep a lookout for Ami and to inform us as soon as they spotted him. HAHA.

and on my side, i started googling to see if he's travelling. i didnt manage to find anything but on his myspace page..this is what i got:

AMI IS REALLY IN HONG KONG! i cannot believe my eyes. I wanted to message him to ask him out for a drink(haha) but i have to be his friends first. ARGH. i hope that he will stay in HK for a few more months and that i will bump into him more and more and more and more and more!!!

Loooong Weekend!

my first long weekend in Hong Kong. many asked me why didnt i go back to Singapore. I forgot there's a long weekend and so i didnt plan. when i realized that, it's too late. all the cheap tickets have been booked. hahaha. stupid me. anyway i had quite a good weekend. quite eventful.

On thursday night, i got invited to a friend's bbq. it's quite fun but yet boring. fun because i havent bbqed for a long time and we did this on a rooftop. it's boring becuase they tend to speak cantonese and i need to concentrate to understand them. sighz. my brains are tired lah. and i think it's pretty rude because there was an ang-moh there. so i tried my best to translate whatever i can to him lah. there was food and booze, very very good chilling-out section. played some stupid games and made people drink. hahaha!

On friday, i went to get my facial done. need to look good mah. haha wanted to do massage but then not enough time as i had plans to watch "17 Again" . yay! zac efron! he is soooo good-looking. all 5 of us, working adults were like gushing when zac wore the white t-shirt, with jeans and jacket and walked out of his R8. amazingly handsome! hee hee overall, it's an alright moive, nothing to rave about but nothing to complain either. had dinner and went off because i had plans to visit Macau the next day.

On saturday, supposed to go Macau. but because HK has its first confirmed case of swine flu, my friend's mum and herself got paranoid and decided to cancel the trip. sigh. i was very very disappointed but i dont want to upset them. i was also annoyed because they were like " oh my god, the govt is taking it very seriously. they are quarantineing everyone from the hotel. " WTF. this is the BARE MINIMUM to be done. agree? i mean seriously, if there's a confirmed case, that is what the govt should do. contain and control. actually the govt is kinda dumb. they should have moved that group of people to the designated quarantine village where there is more air and everything. then clean and disinfect the whole hotel. apparently, the guests were complaining now as the chambermaids did not clean their room for the past 3 days. YUCKS. brainless. anyway, so no macau, i spent my day cleaning my house with dettol! haha and then i took a trip to Stanley market and Stanley beach. quite shioks i must say. i have found my beach to suntan. but i am sooo surprised the beach is sooo freaking small and littered with people. amazing. here are some pictures:

On sunday, i went to church. a friend invited me to listen to this sermon. i thought it was really really really good. i really really really liked it and i think i want to go back to finish the whole sermon. the pastor is teaching on the book of Ruth and it's amazingly heavy but yet light-hearted. after that, i went to play mahjong. hee hee. super shioks! my friend cooked for me lunch and dinner! i miss home-cooked food and we played mahjong, the shenzhen style. haha. i had a few winning games but i also had my fair share of losses. in the end, i lose HKD 30! it would be a much happier ending if i had won money but oh well, it's good fun.

quite happy with my long weekend. another holiday coming end May. i am wondering if i should travel to anywhere. but i have one issue. M O N E Y! darn!

It started and ended with "L"

L U N C H - that's how it started.

she didnt know how, when and why he started talking to her. she couldnt remember and she didnt bother to. it all started with lunch. he talked to her, she responded. he asked her out for lunch, she said yes. one lunch led to another. another lunch led to dinner. somehow, she and he started hanging out together more and more.

one day, she and he went for dinner. she didnt feel like going home early. he didnt feel like going home early too. hung around and chatted. she and he getting bored. he suggested going to his house to chill as he had some dvds. she said "ok" because she didnt want to go home. on the way to his house, he tried to hold her hands. she didnt let him. reached his house. she picked up "Juno". he agreed with that. he put the dvd into the player and went to the couch. he sat extremely close to her. she felt strange but didnt care. he started to hold her hand and inched closer. she wondered if she should let that happen. she's feeling a little excited. he started to come closer. she didnt move away. then he kissed her. she kissed back. one kiss led to another. another kiss led to more kisses. she made out with him. she enjoyed it and he enjoyed it. she asked him " why? " he said " no idea. " she asked " you like me? " he replied " yeah, if not why are we doing this? " she smiled and he smiled. the next day, she and he went shopping. he held her hand. her heart beat really fast as she's shy. she wondered if that meant anything. he didnt say anything.

first quarrel happened when she told him that she wanted to hang out with a friend when she had promised to catch a movie with him. she told him " i want to go out with friend after our movie. " he went "oh, just go ahead with your friend. we can watch the movie another day. " she replied " no, we can watch it today and i can go out wtih my friend after that. im going for my holiday this weekend, the movie would be gone by the time im back." he argued " no, just go out with your friend. i dont want to watch the movie anymore. " she's baffled and asked " why? why are you pissed off? " he just said " im not. just go with your friend. " she was a little sad and replied " fine, if that's what you want. " so she went out with friend.

while out with friend, he texted her " didnt have a chance to say bye to you today. have fun and enjoy your trip. " she ignored him. just before she left for her trip, he called her to say " goodbye and take care. " she said " goodbye and take care " too. during the trip, she texted her once. he texted her back. she totally enjoyed the trip and was looking forward to share with him all the experiences.

however, he seemed to have changed when she's back. he's no longer interested in her. he stopped chatting with her. he stopped having lunches with her. he stopped walking her to the bus stations. she's feeling sad. she wondered why. she asked " hey, what happen? " he went " nothing. what could have happened? " she's very very confused. she couldnt figure out why the change in attitude. then she realized. he's now interested in friend. he was having lunches and dinners with friend. she's shocked. all it took was 1 week for him to have a change in attitude and heart. they told her to let go. they told her he's a jerk. they told her that she should just ignore him. but she wanted to find out why. she just wanted to know the truth. she asked him " are you dating friend? " he replied " no,why do you ask? " she asked again " then why did your attitude change towards me? " he said coldly " it didnt change. " she asked again " yes it did. now you're not spending time with me " he didnt reply. she gave up.

2 weeks later friend told her " im dating him. " she went " really? when did it start? " friend said " we started hanging out 3 weeks ago. " she realized he had actually asked her out the day she left for her trip. she felt disgusted. she's wondering if she should tell friend about she and he. she didnt want to be the shit stirrer. she thought he would be man enough to tell friend. so she left it as it was. she still talk to him but he's not that friendly anymore. she still keep in touch with friend. they told her to hate him. she told them she didnt want to spend time hating someone who was not worth her time. she told them she had move on and they didnt have to worry. she even hung out with him and friend. a little awkward but she could still handle that.

he and friend dated for 10 months. broke up because friend was extremely unhappy with him. she talked to friend to make sure friend's alright. friend was fine. during conversations, she mentioned about she and he. friend was shocked. friend didnt know. friend asked her why didnt she told friend. she told friend that she thought he would have told her and so she didnt. besides, she didnt want to be the shit stirrer. friend was extremely shocked. friend confronted him. he told friend " OMG, i forgot! " friend told her. she felt nauseous. was she that forgetable? it meant nothing to him at all? she wanted to kill him badly. she felt so unworthy and cheap. he texted " sorry, im truly sorry, i forgot to tell friend about us. " she told him " your sorry came too late. " he said " im really sorry. " she told him " it doesnt matter now. " he said " im truly sorry. i can explain. let's meet and talk . " she wondered what kind of excuses would he come up with. she agreed to meet him for the talk.

she and he met. she could see that he was trying very hard to start the conversation. she felt that he's pathetic and so she said " so, why didnt you tell friend? " he said " i was confused. " she probed. he said " everything happened too fast and i was confused. " she demanded a better explanation. he said " i kinda started talking to friend and realized that we can connect at a certain level. so i started to fall in love with her. but i wasnt sure if friend felt the same. i was really confused. so when friend agreed to be my gf, i put in everything for her as i really want us to work out. " she questioned " why didnt you speak to me earlier? i tried talking to you. you ignored me. " he paused. he said " im sorry, i should have spoken to you earlier. i was really confused and didnt know what to do. im sorry. i didnt know you were trying to talk to me. i was sooo confused. " she asked " what's so confusing? " he paused for 1 minute and said " anyway, nothing will come out between us. we're too different. after that night, i was feeling confused and bad. i didnt know what to do. so sorry. " she replied " fine. but why didnt you tell friend? i thought you would be truthful to her. " he said " i forgot. we only talked about our past once and i was so shocked about hers that i forgot to tell her. " she rolled her eyes at this answer " what the hell? was it that unforgetable? and why should you be shocked about friend's past. from our conversations, you know about her. doesnt make sense at all ." he just kept quiet. had no more explanation. she told him coldly " you should be thankful that i handled this whole thing in a very calm and mature manner. if i had kick up a big fuss, would you even have the chance with friend? besides, they told me to hate you. i told them i am not going to because i dont think it's worth the trouble at all. " he kept quiet. then he said " im really sorry. i was sooo confused that i didnt know what to do! " "DUDE! what was soooo confusing? " she shouted. he kept quiet. she went on " you know, let's forget about it. we're good now. so let's move on. although i do not accept your explanations, i do not want to pursue further either. let's move on. dont be so childish. " he nodded. she walked away.

L A M E - that's how it ended.

Cars & Horses

finally manage to watch what i wanna watch on Sunday. it was an impromptu decision. was surfing the internet at 420pm and decided to catch F&F4 at 540pm. although i havent heard good reviews about this show but it's a MUST-WATCH for me. i love the cars used in this show. not that i know a lot about cars but they are sooo pretty and so fast. and i simply love the ways the drivers drove at full speed even when reversing and all the drifting and shit. in this movie, there are a lot more other cars than the usual fast cars. and a lot more american muscle. some of them looked really nice and sexy but some simply looked ugly. yes i only care about the looks and not the engines and what-nots of the cars. however, i am EXTREMELY happy to see my skyline again and to see Vin Diesel. he's sooooooooooo macho and manly. in terms of storyline, it has none. haha! but im 200% sure they will be coming up with Fast & Furious 5! cant wait to watch that.

isnt the skyline chio???

sooo suave!!!

super cool mustang! love it to the max!

then on tuesday evening, i decided to "expose" the arty-farty side of me. i bought a ticket to watch the play "Equus". not sure if anyone has any impression but this is the play which Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) went nude for. unfortunately, the play running in Hong Kong does not have him but still, i wanted to watch. it's at the Fringe Club and it's quite an arty-farty place. the theatre is really small and the props are minimum BUT the play is AMAZING. no wonder there were so much hpyed about it when Daniel Radcliffe took on this role. It's reallya very very good play. It explores religion, social status, passion, sexuality and zoophilia. as i watched the play, many many thoughts ran through my mind. it's like every single movement, every single act, definitely is more than what im seeing. i believe everything has a metaphor or a pun. it definitely meant to express another side of things and how the writer/producer or whatever you call him is trying to inform the audience. i believe it even has a stinge of homosexuality. i really really enjoy it a lot and i recommend EVERYONE to catch it if it's playing. on a sidenote, the boy who played the role which daniel radcliffe played looks a bit like daniel himself. HAHA. maybe i was imagining him to be daniel, but anyhow, please go watch it if possible. i would like to discuss this play with anyone who has watched it, i feel like going back to an english literature class! why didnt we study this during school time? sighz. not sure if it helps to rouse any interest but look at how toned harry potter has become! sexxxxxxxxxxy!

but i must say the play is rather disturbing. but still A W E S O M E!!!

Phuket!!!

see, i got tanned!!! yeah, just got back from another sun-filled holiday. hee hee. after i got back, many told me this " wah, you are very tanned now " and some told me this " i think you have enough sun for the next 3 months " and i have some who saw me and said " oh my god, you look ilke a farmer! " HAHAHA. anyhow, i am happy with my tan. i havent gotten a tan for a loooooooooong time. seriously. it's about time. i like it no matter how much people said i am wayyyy too tanned.

anyway, this trip is a mixture of fun and boredom. initially, this is a trip for 5 of us but 2 of my friends bailed out because their other halves dont allow them to go. SERIOUSLY, they are losers. we offered to ask the other halves to come along, they refused. i dont understand why would they disallow and one word from the other half and my friends just bailed out? i am speechless. and so i was stuck with a couple, in the honeymoon stage. was a little hestitant about this but what the heck, i paid almost SGD 700 for my tickets and so i am so going to go! anyway, i am pretty alright with this couple. both of them are my friends but seriously, i've never seen a couple who laughs SOOOO MUCH. they were laughing out loud EVERY OTHER 5 minutes. seriously, sometimes, i feel kinda left out and i just walked on my own. and this is where the boredom kicked in. i mean i wanna do activities and the couple didnt stop me BUT..it's boring to do it alone. and so for the whole trip, i literally parked my BIG FAT ASS on the beach. sighz. no diving, no snokelling, no clubbing or anything. at times, i feel so extra and just felt like going out to venture on my own but yet, i dont feel safe. sighz. anyway, it's not that bad because there were moments where the 3 of us can just chill over beers. hahaha. well, i wont say i wont go travelling with them again but if i were to go with them again, i MUST and i WILL bring my own partner! on a happier note, i've never seen my girlfriend so happy with a guy before and so i really feel the love that she's getting and all. so im all good!

not much pictures taken but here are some:

can you see the girls dancing? they basically only have 1 move. HAHA. but i kinda feel sad for them. i see many young and pretty girls ( or boys ) along the street picking up very old and sleazy ang-mohs. in fact, while i was getting my pedicure, i overheard one girl picking up her customer. she said to him " you can book a room. you, me, my friend, your friend can all stay together for 3 days but you have to pay for everything " never seen such a direct approach before. way to go! haha

supposedly one of the most happening (and sleazy) places in Phuket. wanted to club but the sleaze factor is so high that i lose all the interest to even step into any clubs. haha.

the place where i park my ass. HAHA. basically my hotel is like 10 m away from the beach. i only need like 5 seconds to walk from my hotel to the beach. hee hee. if only i have a house by the sea like that. BUT..just imagine, 2 years ago, the tsunami hit the town, RIGHT HERE. on an interesting note, there were many ang-mohs and not much asians along the beach. and many ang-mohs are actually nude tanning. and i spotted some old ladies doing that. the hilarious thing is...i couldnt differentiate their boobs from their tummies. HAHA. sorry i know im mean but the boobs are sooo saggy that they dont looks like boobs anymore. and i feel that Phuket has become more expensive. wanted to do parasailing and i offered 700 Baht. NONE of them wanted to do my business. they are asking 1000 Baht from the stupid ang-mohs who think that a price from 1200 baht to 1000 baht is a good bargain. ANNOYED.

anyway, i want to go back there. but this time, i wanna go diving and island hopping. no more parking. hee hee. anyone interested?

SANYA!!!

i went to Hainan-Sanya (China) for holiday last week. although it's ah tiong land, the beach is really good. and the weather is sooo good. it was soo sunny that i got burnt like hell. HAHA. but seriously, other than the fact that it's ah tiong land, it's really a good short getaway!! let me explain why it's so duhz.

(1) fashion sense sucks!!! seriously, i have no idea what is wrong. they have no fashion sense at all. on the beach, most people would wear nice bikinis (for girls) and board shorts (for guys). but when i was in Sanya, the girls are wearing tankini (nothing wrong) but they will have very very retro patterns, like HUGE flowers or polka-dots in the most obiang ways. HAHA. and to make matters worse, they will have a little skirt to cover their bottom. soooo old-school. as for the guys, they will wear swimming trunks! haha and it's the speedo kind. so it's quite duhz. one man was even wearing a white or rather translucent swimming trunks. friend and i dare not look when he got out of the water!

(2) the girls DO NOT SHAVE! yes, they do not shave AT ALL. looking at them, they're usually quite slim and fair. but the moment they raise their arms, OMG!! it's hairy and long. it's super disgusting. but like what my friend said " they are being natural. we shave and we're artificial. give them credit lah " but seriously, it's yucks and double yucks!

(3) everyone spits everywhere! seriously, what is their problem? do they always have to spit. they even spit on the beach. so i dare not walk around bare-foot, fearing that i will step on the disgusting spit. but some of them are better. after spitting, they will use the sand to cover up. haha so it's not that bad. some just ignore. yucks, yucks and triple yucks!

(4) public shower rooms have no doors! i was shocked actually. when i stepped into the shower rooms to rinse myself, i only see naked women! and the shower rooms have no doors. so while waiting for my turn to step into the shower, i have to stare at the naked woman showering in front of me. seriously, if the woman is sexy and all, it's kinda like free porn. but like i have said, they usually dont shave and they always spit, it's kinda disgusting. and if i dont look at them, it's super weird if i look at the other ladies who are equally naked and waiting in line. if i look down, it's weird as well. and i need to make sure no one cuts my queue. and so for 10 mins, i have to stare at this middle-age woman showering in front of me. quite an experience. haha!

(5) all taxi drivers are annoying! the moment you board the cab, they will start asking if you wanna do any touristy stuffs and they can give you special rates and etc. SUPER ANNOYING. i almost wanted to tell them to shuddup. i mean sometimes, i didnt respond and they keep on talking. i was pisssed a few times that i just told them " i already told you i am not going to do whatever you've suggested. just bring me to the place i wanna go. thanks" and then i started talking to my friend in english and ignored the driver. super disturbing.

ok, here's the plus points of Sanya!!!

look how beautiful the beach is!!!

so pretty right?

even the grass is greener!

went to visit an ethnic group and this is their storage huts!

this girl is soooo cute. she thought i was korean and spoke korean to me! hahaha

what a beautiful sunset!

me trying out fish therapy. it's soo itchy! *giggles*

"Strip Club"

no, i havent been to a real strip club. but seriously, if i dont think i would even need to go. i have just joined a gym in Hong Kong. and funnily enough, in the changing room, EVERYONE STRIPS! i am soooo serious. i am really fine with them stripping but i just dont understand why they can walk around naked when it's a public changing room. okay, if someone just stripped and changed outside, fine. this is what i do too. but there are some ladies, they stripped in front of the locker, walked to the toilets to pee, then walked back to their lockers to take some stuffs, then walked to the bathrooms. basically they walked here and there in their birthday suits. seriously, i am not a pervert but i couldnt help staring. i would look to see if their boobs are sagging (HAHA) and i will also look to see if they wax and what is the color of their pubic hair (HAHAHA). it's kinda gross to see a middle-age ( say 50 ) woman naked. and it's kinda interesting to see an ang-moh naked. they really have perky breasts and the pubic hair is golden-brown. HAHAHA okok now i sound like a pervert. anyway, i asked my colleague who joined the same gym if the guys stripped too. and he said " YES! " so now you know. if you wanna go to a strip club but am shy, join a gym! HAHA.

love but miss

it's been almost half a year since i moved to Hong Kong. there are things that i love about Hong Kong and there are things that i hate about Hong Kong. there are things i miss about Singapore and there are things that i dont miss at all. but i have to say, i didnt regret moving to Hong Kong and i thank God for this amazing opportunity.

love HK for...

(1) amazing team: not that i hate my previous team but seriously, my new team is quite amazing. i get along well with everyone and everyone is very nice and sweet to me. they invite me to join them in their activities as they know i dont have many friends in HK. they bought me flowers on my birthday. we help each other at work and there's absolutely no back-stabbing. one of them actually partied with me to celebrate my birthday after finding out about it via FB.

(2) experiences: after moving to the HK team, i have been exposed to different people and culture. it has definitely broaden my horizon. this is something which i can never learn from school or from other people. it has to be experienced personally. and i am blessed with this opportunity

(3) vibrancy (not sure if there's such a word. haha ): basically, HK is forever vibrant. people go out at 12am to party. shops dont close till midnight. central is always bustling with people and activities. i can go to the suburbs to see hong kong in a different light.

miss Singapore for...

(1) food: yes, the food in HK is good but food in SG is equally good. i miss food like char kway teow, ban mian, roti prata, chai tau kway, laksa, hainan chicken rice, ice kachang, bak chor mee, etc etc. sigh. i wish someone from Singapore can open a shop here and sell the authentic food at reasonable prices!!!! also, i miss home-cooked food. i do try to cook at home but they are usually instant stuffs.

(2) family: i do miss going home and seeing people at home. now, everyday i reach home, it's only me, myself and i and the TV. although i call home every friday, i still miss seeing my family. just last friday, i called home and spoke to my grandma. gawd, that was sooo awful. the moment i hear her voice, i wanna cry. i realized i really miss going to mygrandma's place every week. she told me that she went to the market the other day and the pork seller asked her if she wanna buy pig's kidneys ( she always buy them and cook them for me ) and she replied that im not in singapore and so she doesnt have to buy them. OMG! that really brought tears to my eyes. and i miss disturbing my brothers. and i miss talking to my parents. but of course, im still alright but just that sometimes, i miss them and feel lonely. i kept asking my mum and grandma when are they coming!

(3) friends: although i still keep in contact with my friends via email and msn, i still miss hanging out with them physically. i miss partying with them, having dinner with them, chilling out with them. in fact, i also miss my piano lessons. i know i can make new friends in Hong Kong but it's different. some of these friendships were fostered 10 years ago and they are still going strong. it's irreplaceable!

anyway i have no idea if i will be here for only 2 years or forever. personally, i would love to go back to Singapore because it's afterall my home! but then again, i really dont know what's my future's going be like. would i get married and settled in Hong Kong? or maybe i will move to another country? who knows. let's see how things go. for now, i'll enjoy whatever i have!

why is he sooo rude?

i dont understand why some ang-mohs are so rude. so what if they are ang-mohs? so what if they are from USA? so what if they dont have black eyes and yellow skin? they are working and living in Asia and so please show some respect. this ang-moh in my team is farking annoying. when i said "farking annoying", im not lying. he's been such a pain in the ass that i actually made him hate me. HAHAHA

Incident #1:

He's working in the Japan office and was in HK for work. We were given a list to call for prospecting one morning. In the afternoon, he came by my desk " so how many calls have you made? did you do anything useful today? why havent you started calling and make yourself useful?" WTH???!!! who the hell is he? my boss? N-O. N-O. N-O. so i told him " why are you asking me this? go away. i want to do something useful now " and he wanted to continue and i went " shut up. i need to call the client NOW " and i just picked up the phone and ignored him.

Incident #2:

a colleague asked me for help on some limitation on his computer. not very sure, i asked the experts on some global chats which we have. i used about 5 mins to ask some very simple questions and i just passed this information on. a very simple and easy gesture of kindness right? then this stupid idiot rang me up. he went " why are you wasting your time on an internal client when you can spend the valuable helping a real client?" seriously, that caused me to flare up! firstly, i was doing something and was really concentrating. secondly, all i did was ask some questions and pass on the info. is that so hard to do for a colleague? thirdly. WHO THE HELL IS HE TO ASK SUCH QUESTIONS? he is NOT my boss. my boss told me " i dont care what you do. just bring in the money". seriously. WHAT IS FARKING WRONG WITH THIS STUPID ANG-MOH? DOES HE REALLY THINK HE'S MY BOSS? so i told him " dude, seriously. it's just a small favor. i only had to spend 5 mins. not as if i spend 5 hours doing that. and what's wrong with helping a colleague. and finally. why are you even asking me this. i dont wanna talk to you anymore. bye " and i hung up. HAHAHA. then i said out loud in the office "farking idiot" and everyone around me went " woah. are you alright? " HAHAHA. see how much he pissed me off. then after a while, i thought i was kinda rude and so i called him back. before i can even say anything, he said " do you hung up on a client who ask you questions? i dont want to talk to you " and he hung up. RUDE ASSHOLE!!

Incident #3:

Today he asked a question on our common team chat and so i told him the answer and shared with him what i know. then he disagree and said that im wrong. well, fine. so i showed him where are the documents and which emails indicate that im right and i checked with another colleague and he agreed with me. suddenly my phone rang. so i picked it up and without even a "hello", this farking ang-moh went " you better get your facts right!" WTFH. he is soooo wrong and he still dare to tell me to get my facts right? i mean seriously, even if im wrong, he doesnt have to be that rude. who the hell he think he is???!!!! the things that he asked is VERY VERY basic and VERY VERY common. it's not something that we should or even get it wrong. the fact that he got it wrong means that he's a FARKING DUMB ASSHOLE. and he's still so full of himself. i was soooo farking pissed. i was kind to share with him what i know and all i got was " you should get your facts right " when he's the one who got it wrong. after which, i believed he went to check with other colleagues and realized that IM SO FREAKING RIGHT and he's SO FREAKING WRONG. not a single word of apology nor acknowledgement that im right and he's wrong. FARKING DUMB BASTARDIC ASSHOLE.

i mean seriously, yes he could be a trader previously and he's an ang-moh who can speak a little japanese and whatever. SO? does that make him more superior than me? does that make him smarter than me? he's such a sneaky snake. always doing things to "impress" the boss and all. but when it comes to the most basic and simple stuffs, he's SOOOOO dumb. dumb to the extent i cannot believe that he doesnt know the simplest of the simple facts. seriously, i didnt want to be his nemesis but can he not be so farking rude when he doesnt even have anything to be proud of?

he once said singaporean girls are the most boring girls he ever met. i told him " maybe singaporean girls are so not into you that they are trying to tell you to get lost? " A S S H O L E! he can kiss my arse and eat shit! the worst ang-moh i ever met!

Bei Jing Huan Ying Nin

Beautiful right? just got back from Beijing on Wednesday. went there for 3 days. business trip. it was snowing slightly. niceee. i really like Beijing. no idea why. compared to Shanghai, i think Beijing is more cool. however, i still do not like the ah tiongs. haha so rude and so disgusting. i still see them spitting on the ground. YUCKS. why are they dirtying a wonderful city like Beijing? yucks yucks. totally hate it. and the drivers, they drive like they owned the roads. so scarry. i was crossing but yet i can see them coming towards me, NOT slowing down at all. no wonder the government need to have this sign:

Translation: When a car gives way to a pedestrian, it's safety. When a pedestrain gives way to a car, it's civilization. When a car gives way to a car, it's harmony. very creative if you ask me. i was so amazed that i stopped in the middle of the pavement and took this picture. am very sure all the other people must be thinking that im super crazy. haha!

anyway, had some time to do some sight-seeing as i flew in on a sunday. so i literally dropped my luggage in the hotel, bathed and ran out to visit the famous "Forbidden City" or they called it "Gu Gong". it was sooooo huge. i only went in one direction and it took me 3 hours to walk in and out! but it's really worth the effort. however, i must say, it didnt give me the same " wow" effect the India's Humuyam's Tomb has on me. when i saw the tomb, i was like " OMG " but when i saw the palace, i was like " WOW". different effect. wonder why. anyway, i still enjoyed myself very much. and i had this crazy thought while walking around the palace. i felt sorry for the maids and enuachs of the palace. as it's such a huge place, imagine them walking and running, trying to fulfil the needs and wants of their masters. then i told myself, " if i am a princess, i would NEVER make my servants run around the palace " hahaha i told my colleague about it, she laughed NON-STOP. she kept saying im super lame and retarded. anyway, it's really huge. now i know why they never need to leave the palace. it's so huge and if you were to tour the whole palace, i think it would take you 3 months!!!!

then i had some spare time, i went to visit the "Bird Nest" stadium. just wanna drop by to take pictures of it as it was quite a huge thing in 2008. anyway, i must say, it looks very different. on TV, it actually looks quite bird-nesty. but in reality, it's very metallic. it's like a mesh of metals all together. hahaha and the taxi driver who drove me there was kinda funny. i told him i wanna go to the " Bird Nest " and he started his conversation on why did the government gave this stadium such a stupid name. he said it should be named " Phoenix Nest " because they always use the word " bird " in the perogative sense. anyway, doesnt matter, im just a tourist.

after which, i went to their cheap shopping. OMG, it's so bad. they only sell counterfeits. hahaha quite duhz. i wanted to buy some local stuffs at cheap prices but everything is just counterfeits. and i was carrying my gucci bag ( real one okay ) and then the sales aunties saw me and they kept asking " xiao jie, yao bu yao mai duo yi ge gucci or LV? wo you xin huo " warrau, mine is R E A L okay? then i went to real shopping malls, bloody expensive. so i ended up buying 12 DVDs. haha. my best purchase!!!
