2008-11-28T23:59:00.000+08:00

i had a really bad week... extremely busy... and upset...

i have been meeting with the "LB bitter gods" for more then a month already... this week... i got the worse "bitter god" list on hand... this family of 4 tortured me the whole tuesday!! from 12pm to 8pm... i was so stressed out... and cried after the meeting... not because i felt any sympathy... or sorry for them... i just feel wronged... very very 委屈... why i have to suffer?

the wednesday... another single "bitter god" torture for another 4 hours...

i'm soooooooo tired this week...
what can i do to release my stress?
yes...
shopping and spending...

thursday night... i went straight to cwb and bot many many clothes...
more about this shopping list later...

at disney?

2008-11-24T23:59:00.000+08:00

sunday noon... we had buffet at the disney hotel to celebrate sasa's bday. as i'm not that into the disney characters and photos taking with them... i just went wondering around the hotel to explore the areas i like...

and i found they have a lot of victorian style mirror fame everywhere... just love them so much... can't held myself... need to shot them down where ever i see them...

found this at the main lobby... a huge one on the wall...

got this one from the basement washroom... the wall paper goes well with this frame...

this one... from lobby washroom... love the mirror in mirror set up...

2008-11-23T23:55:00.002+08:00

girls... say "cheese"...
(too bad some girls is missing here la... sabe, yc, cfu and susie...)

this photo proves that... boys are not too sensitive with camera... see... they were all busy doing their own business...
~ one talking on the phone...
~ one playing with the phone...
~ one busy eating...
~ two busing talking about investment related boring topic....

saturday noon with porpor

2008-11-23T23:30:00.000+08:00

saturday afternoon when i was chitchatting with my porpor... i notice that although she is already 80+... her hands still looks very young... like 60+ only!! i forced her to take this photo cos she said her hands are ugly!! but i think they are still very pretty!!

autumn leaves...

2008-11-20T23:34:00.002+08:00

when i was leaving office today... i found these leaves lighting everywhere on the floor... just right with our latest winter breeze... i don't think the swire group is doing this just to match our weather lately...i wonder what they are up to...

hung's bday cake in office

2008-11-20T23:19:00.003+08:00

next week will be hung's bday... since she will be taking some days off next week... we celebrated her bday in office today... i was assigned to get her a cake... hahaha... of course i will get my favor cake one la... this is the oreo banana from teresa festival... yum yum...

bird cages...

2008-11-18T22:55:00.003+08:00

the past weekend... i planned to dig out my winter clothes and get prepare for the winter... but before i launch this annual big project... i tried to tidy up my apartment first... after mom return guam... my place has been kept in a very messy mode... which i hate the most... so... i was trying to throw away some useless items...

for the bird cages... i finally counted the number of bird cages i have at home... i'm really crazy... i got 10... i took them all out and tried to decide the ones to keep and the ones to go... after some consideration.... i decided to keep 5 of them only 2 mini-size pieces and 3 bigger pieces shown below...

love this very much... got this in japan... it got a little glass birdy inside... very sweet set...

got them from bangkok... cheap but big enough from some dried aroma rose...

favor new necklace

2008-11-17T23:59:00.001+08:00

these two were not from yesterday's shopping list... i got them some months ago and love to wear them lately... i don't know why... but it just matches most of my outfit lately...

i just wonder... can i ever stop buy accessories? especially necklaces and brooches?

somehow i know why i'm so addict to accessories and shoes... i got this bad habit from my mom!! hahaha.. .yes i do... i remember when i was a kid... every saturdays after all the drawing and piano lessons... she will go shopping with me and wait for dad... and i remember... she will go look around the shoes and accessories section at lc, lung-gee-hon (forgot the english name) and wing on... and i will eat my cola-bottle candy...

i missed the old days...

saturday... work & tea & shopping...

2008-11-16T23:45:00.002+08:00

so sad that i got to work this saturday... seeing those "bitter god" again even on weekend!!!

glad that i can meet up the girls for a nice tea break... love the chatting and sharing during this difficult time for all of us...

what is missing after tea and chatting? how can we skip the shopping session!!! even during this difficult moment!! i guess shopping is the only way to get a relief...hahaha... and of course... all of us got empty wallet and took a paper bag home... we when to the bibelot again... and here is our shopping list:

motu : a lace glass mirror and a rose cup tea set...
hung : a book necklace and a printed recycle bag...
kae : a white glass necklace and a gold chunky necklace...

(will take some picture of them later...)

friday night... house warming gathering

2008-11-16T23:00:00.000+08:00

friday night... was a night to relax for most of us... and so... we had a great gathering (and yummy hotpot) at ingrid's new home... finally... a night for some fun...

her new home got some great views...

and is very modern...

thanks to eve's idea and ada's efforts for getting this as the house warming gift... we all enjoyed it that night and i am sure ingird loves it very much too!!

(i don't believe the monopoly goes electronic already!! no more paper money...rather... everyone one of us got a money card!! the bank is now a machine... not the one holding a box of money already... no more exchange notes... this is amazing...)

you will see the rainbow after the storm...

2008-11-13T23:59:00.002+08:00

today was a hard day...
tears in the office...
empty desk everywhere...
heartbreaking moments around the corners...

today i was very lucky...
but this is just the first wave...
my heart was aching every time when i heard about my colleagues...

never experience this kind of atmosphere in my life...

and i don't want to go through this again...

all my dearest friends...

don't worry... we will see our rainbow again very soon...

thanks sabe & motu...

2008-11-12T23:59:00.000+08:00

sabe & motu... your emails were very touching...
i love love love this picture you sent me!!
you made me smile already...
don't worry... i'm okay now... i'm looking at the bright side!!

(although i already packed most of my personal item home already...)

i promise you i will try my best to keep my fabulous look... and won't look like "a dead piece of shxt"!!!

thanks elsa & ah-mui...

2008-11-12T23:10:00.007+08:00

thanks my dearest precious... thanks for the dinner treat last night and spent the time at my place to divert my attention... i enjoyed our evening very much... (i just love to hear your "dite lung" laugh!!)

i had a really good sleep last night because of your love...

thank you...

what can you do?

2008-11-10T23:59:00.001+08:00

got the bad news today...
there is nothing we can do now...
no one knows who is on the list...
all we can do is wait... wait... wait... and...
counting the days... just 2 more weeks to go...

dundundun... it's magic magic...

2008-11-09T23:59:00.003+08:00

today is a very lazy day... at home sleeping sleeping and went massage in the evening...

but yesterday was a busy day...
~ 6:00pm : got free 007 movie tickets at ifc from mar-so
~ 9:00pm : played badminton with garjair & mmjj...
~ 0:00am : siu-yeah with garjair, mmjj & their tong-brother "king"

king is a very nice guy... he played some great magic with us... extremely amazing!! i can't believe what i saw in front of me!! i really want to learn some of those tricks from him... before we learn those hard ones...he gave each of us a beginner little magic toy... i got the 刀鋸美人 (zig-zag lady)...

here is how it works...
(thanks honchi for the nice but dite-lung background music...)

leather goods (part 2)

2008-11-06T23:59:00.000+08:00

beside the leather gloves from cythina rowley... i also got this leather jacket... it was a lazy sunday... had "guy fong" look tea with sabe near by our home... then we had a little window shopping after tea... it was suppose to be a "window shopping only"!! don't know why both of us got something we can't wear immediately... (oh... i got both leather goods with sabe wor!!)

this is not something expensive... just from b+ab... but i think this is really value for money wor... it is very soft lamb skin... pretty good deal... (i got sabe's approval before purchase gar! hahahah.. hahah..)....

love these little ruffle details... subtle but cute...

new checkers :: scarf

2008-11-05T22:32:00.000+08:00

"checkers" is one of the big hit for fall08...
found this nice (reasonable price) frenche lippie scarf (it comes with a doggie brooch too!) at the little quarry bay shop some weeks ago...

without any second thought... got it immediately!!

new checkers :: jacket

2008-11-05T22:30:00.003+08:00

besides the checkers scarf... i also got a jacket from magenta...

hmm..mmm... one question for myself... when can i stop shopping?

one devil arrived...

2008-11-04T23:29:00.006+08:00

got this in my mailbox today...
devil devil devil!!!
... but i love this magazine very much... not only because of the brand... the whole magazine is a "printing" art-piece... why?

see this?
this is not a normal cover... this cover got some very special texture : sort of checkers matte canvas... very classy

also... got some nice photos... the page got a silky metallic effect... very chic...

love this picture of trees... again... this is not a normal picture... it got the 3-D effect...

last but not the least... of course i found something i like...and want... this picture also got the 3-D effect... i wish i can just take it out from the magazine and use it tomorrow... (dreaming...)

i need some water...

2008-11-04T22:17:00.002+08:00

today was another busy day... non-stop talking talking... i think my first cup of water was already 6:00pm...

the first time i bot this oxygenwater was in 2004 when i visited paris with honchi... love the shape of the bottle... but i gave them to a friend as souvenir...

sometimes ago i found them in lane crawford... bot them home immediate... but since they were so expensive... i dare not to drink it... unless i really need some "oxygen"... tonight... i want to drink it as a little treat for myself...

before i drink it... i checked their official site... and found this -- "ogo flower power"... the bottle cap is pink!! so nice... per their description... "it is a non-alcoholic cocktail, a surprising balance of sweet and sour (i love sour) with subtle elderflower notes and lychee fruit..."... it sounds so fresh!!! i wish i can get one of this in hk too...

leather goods (part 1)

2008-11-03T23:59:00.001+08:00

weather report said it will be cooler in the coming weeks... but will it be cool enough to wear leather goods?

some years ago, we only found cynthia rowley in japan... but now we already have it in hk but never visit the place... last month, it was my first time there with sabe... and... as usual... we dropped $$ there...

don't ask me why i got this pair of leather gloves... i know it is very unlikely i can wear them in hk... but... if you try them on... you will love them... the lace lace lookalike laser-cut makes it very special... and trendy... plus... they are super soft...

when i say "part 1" of leather goods... meaning... this is not the only leather item i got recently... more about that later...

drinks with the boys

2008-11-02T23:59:00.002+08:00

after the walk and lunch at disney hollywood hotel... i dropped the kids home and went out to have dinner with the boys... as usual... we went lkf for some drinks after dinner... i don't know why... i just love to hang out with the boys and listen to their "dite b" jokes...

inspiration lake

2008-11-02T23:00:00.003+08:00

yesterday noon i took my nieces (adria and azalea) to inspiration lake and join the boys. the weather was great... we enjoyed the lakefront walk very much... it was very relexing...

and something very sweet happened...

~ when little chris met adria, he held her hand and started their walk...
~ chris was like a gentleman... smiling all along the walk...
~ adria was very timid... just walked along with chris...
~ and adria was very caring too, she held her little sister azalea hand and walked together...

very cute and sweet little kids...

all kids say cheers together...

from left to right...

sophie, timothy, azalea, adria, christopher and michael

boo...boo...

2008-10-31T23:59:00.001+08:00

it is halloween today!! boo...boo...boo...

she looks scary, isn't she!??!
who is she?
hhha.a.. hahah... she is baby shrek sasa...

last week, my cousin took her 2 little daughters to a halloween competition held at the mall... and baby shrek sasa won!!! poor girl... got no clothes on her body... she was just wearing her little diaper walking around the mall... everyone at the mall wanted to take a picture of her... poor girl... knew nothing about what was going on around her...

whereas... her elder sister adria was just a normal pumpkin princess... but she was upset... because everyone's attention was on sasa...

poor kids...

exhausted...

2008-10-30T23:00:00.000+08:00

a super busy day... totally exhausted... non-stop interview with the "bitter god"... everyone of them have a sad story behind... i can understand how it feels if all the $$ disappeared suddenly... these $$ represent their life time hard work...

god bless them all...

undercover

2008-10-29T23:59:00.002+08:00

undercover is one of my favor brand... and i think their 2009 spring collection is really my cup of tea!! i love almost all of them... this time it is an all-white collection, layered sportswear look, romantic dresses with a lot of fine-thread fringing in the mix and some sort of vintage pearl accessories... just that... it is not easy to get their items in hk... only joyce central carry some of them... i think i must visit tokyo early 2009 la!!!

2008 music is live II

2008-10-28T23:52:00.002+08:00

some weeks ago (september 30), i got the freebies to watch the 903 music is live show. thanks to ingrid... she knows i'm big fans of jan lamb. the show was great especially jan's part (of course!), this is the first time i see him plays the piano!! however...i don't know why miriam yeung never sings well in live shows... and i don't know why eric kwok is so talented but can't sing...

i'm an accessories lover

2008-10-27T23:50:00.000+08:00

i love to collect various kind of accessories from vintage to fun and crazy stuff... cos i believe these accessories will change the look and feel of the total outfit. so i love to play mix and match with them...

yesterday i got the limited edition set of mercibeaucoup brooches and here is the org set that i got earlier... currently they are placed on a 2-sided dress i got last month.

i think this 2-sided dress is very functional. one side look more classic shirt-dress and can wear with some long necklaces. the other side look a bit more young and cute it goes well with the mercibeaucoup brooches!

pop up shopping at "pop up store"...

2008-10-26T23:50:00.000+08:00

after the vintage shop... motu went home... sabe and i continued our shopping challenge... don't know why... we ended up at time square (it was almost 9pm when we were there!). and found the I.TXX POP UP STORE... i read about this in magazine earlier, but since i don't want to waste $$... so i didn't bother to read more details about it... but now... we are here... and... today is the last day... and... i wondered why most of my favor brand items were still available... so... i ended up wasted $$ again...

tsumori :: i.t 20th anniversary collaboration tees

it comes with a very tsumori style box set...

the tsumori cat is so cute... i just can't control myself...

the tees has a touch of earlier tsumori style... that is the dangling part near the collar... my first top from tsumori many years ago... got something similar as well...

mercibeaucoup :: i.t 20th anniversary accessories
actually i already got a similar set from mercibeaucoup earlier... but since this is an limited collection... and it got more different colors... and it got a flora pattern one that i like very much... plus... it is even cheaper then the org set... so... again i can't control myself...

sunday tea with the girls... plus shopping...

2008-10-26T23:00:00.006+08:00

haven't catch up with the girls for awhile already... this afternoon, i had a good time with sabe and motu. finally i can give them a full verbal update about myself for the past weeks...

in our conversation... i said i'm not planning to do any shopping today. i don't want to spend a cent on any nonessential items... but we were at cwb, it is hard to not shop at all... but we promised we will try to behave ourselves...

so we started at i.t... then all shops around paterson street... and sabe took us to a little secret shop behind sogo... all safe... very safe, no one got anything from all these shops!!! then we stopped at the apple mall... shopped around... still safe... but not till we saw the little shop "bibelot"... and yes, each one of us dropped $$$ and i'm the one who spent the most!!

we spent almost 2 hours at this little shop... asked all kinds of questions and the shop owners were very nice and shared with us all the little stories about each pieces...

at first... i just got the vintage golden necklace... but when the shop owner took out the vintage clock... omg... i love it... well although like it so much... i think i will skip... but... when i suddenly saw the little gift motu got for me from barcelona in my bag... omg... it matches the clock wor... okay... i give up... and got it...

the paper bag packaging is also very nice... it goes nice with all these vintage items...

gifts from motu matches my new vintage clock... to my surprise... honchi didn't scold me for shopping again... he kind of likes this clock too... he said the clock is nice and worth it arr!! now i feel less guilty...

badminton night

2008-10-25T23:36:00.001+08:00

very tired now... cos i played almost 2 hours badminton with garjair & mmjj tonight. because i'm not a very healthy person... always sick... therefore... garjair & mmjj accompany me to do some exercise...very tired arr!!

my best friend elsa...

2008-10-24T23:17:00.003+08:00

yesterday was my best best best friend elsa's birthday. tonight we (just the 2 of us) spent the evening together... a quiet night for girls talk... we both think this is the kind of celebration we want...

i'm so glad that i have a friend like elsa besides me for all these years... without her... i will not be able to go through so many ups and downs...

my dear friend... happy birthday... i hope all the wishes you made tonight before you blow the candle will come true...

love this song...

2008-10-24T01:27:00.010+08:00

recently i'm very addicted to danny chan's 深愛著你... everytime i turn on my laptop i will...
~ plug in my headphones
~ switch on the hong kong toolbar from cr
~ play the 至愛陳百強 channel (love the part from lam-san-san)
this song is very special to me... it spells out my current feeling... and brings back a lot of my childhood memories...

2008-10-22T23:27:00.004+08:00

on diet!!

2008-10-22T22:54:00.003+08:00

you may not notice, but i gained 15lbs after the 2 operations in may and june... just 3 months, i gained 15lbs!! so... average 5lbs per month... average 1lb per week!!!

i know i'm fat!! i hate to see my big tummy growing bigger and bigger when i'm not pregnant!! my pants are getting tight... my arms are getting thick... i hate myself...

i'm so upset and depress now!! i must pick up my diet menu and do more exercise from now on!!!

alessandra facchinetti

2008-10-22T02:07:00.002+08:00

some weeks ago... i heard the news that alessandra facchinetti left valentino... this is a very sad news... cos she has been with the brand for less than a year and her pieces were all so beautiful... i just don't understand why they have to fired her... i hope she will launch her own brand very soon... cos i love her pieces very much...

pop! goes my heart…

2008-10-21T16:46:00.008+08:00

when was the last time i had this feeling…
...too long ago… and almost forgot how it feels…
...now… is here again to remind me how it feels like…

...it is sweet… romantic… shaky… thrill…

what should i do if this is hitting me now…
...flatter … or… scare…

how should I react…
...ignore… or… have a little peek…

my dearest girlfriends…
please hold my hands and stay close to me…

i went down to mk saturday afternoon... trying to find some bling bling accessories, maybe hairbands or brooches... but they are just tooo...too..."c lai" and "leung leung"... can find anything i can buy...

so... i decided to make my own bling bling hairband...

(plus honchi "blocked" my pc usage during this rough stock market environment... as he must be with the "market" most of time wor!!)

although most of time was taking care of my mom and accompany her... i still have a lot that i want to share in my blog and will re-start my posting gar la... so... no more complain about the moon cakes la!

hampers and mooncakes...

2008-09-04T21:35:00.000+08:00

we got many mid-autumn festival hampers delivered to our office today… beside the traditional mooncakes… i found these petite chocolate mooncakes from lucullus... the little bunny is cheese favor, the pink one is rose tea and the grey one is sesame…

as they are so cute... i don’t think i will eat them, but a hungry colleague (hunghung) passed by… then… bite on the sesame favor… and said… “not as good as i expected, but the sesame favor is very strong…”

that's not all... my good friend baybay, she sent us a box of mooncake from peninsular spring moon... i heard this type of mooncake from peninsular hotel requires pre-order a few months ahead of the mid-autumn festival...

thanks baybay...

non stop shopping...

2008-09-04T01:16:00.003+08:00

2008-09-04T00:25:00.005+08:00

30 something...

2008-09-03T04:00:00.004+08:00

it is finally out!! i have been waiting long for it... and it is a combination of part I and part II... i'm laughing it!!! i love disc 2... cos it got a touching interview of softhard...

when i was playing the dvd... there was a section when they went out and interview those ppl who line up for their goodies... then it pops out this warning message... i found this very funny...

and this opening is very funny too... how come their team is so creative...

last saturday... aug 30...

2008-09-02T23:28:00.000+08:00

it was a very tired saturday... as i have to work from 9am to 5:30pm again... glad that i can get an extra day off afterward...

at night... i watched a mini concert by the "cm singers"... they are a cappella group of little boys from st. paul's college hk, but now they are already a year 2 student lu... i know about this little group from my colleague... as one of the little boy is her nephew... this group of boys have angel voices... i love their concert very much... now... i'm looking forward for their cd...

the concert was held at li hall st.john's cathedral central... this little hall is very nice... love the gothic... european feel... this is a good place for a romantic wedding...hahaha...

last friday... aug 29...

2008-09-02T23:27:00.001+08:00

this is my 3rd movie from inpanda... and i must say that i was looking forward to this the most -- "little touching lovely stories"... these stories are really touching...

from left to right...
~ the little piece of memory
~ the moment
~ fly out blue
~ give & take
~ the red buds
~ the tide
~ the balloon
~ paper daddy

my favorite ones are...

"give & take" (from hk)
a lonely alien is longing for love. he thinks if he gives out more love, he can receive more love in return. the one he loves thinks that he should take more after receiving more love. when they are trying to exchange tenderness, they only receive loneliness...

... so sad... cost this is like a reality reflection...

"paper daddy" (from south korea)
people say little bunny's daddy was killed by traffic accident. she imagines that her flat dad just looks like a paper doll. when will he come back?

...maybe because my godfather just passed away...i found this very touching...

last thursday... aug 28...

2008-09-02T23:26:00.000+08:00

another friend is getting married lu... the night before typhoon 9 was here, we already had our first bridesmaids dress fitting ...today we have the traditional sisters brothers dinner gathering... all together we have 12 girls and 12 men... it was super noisy... but it was fun... looking forward for her wedding day...

last wednesday... aug 27...

2008-09-02T23:25:00.000+08:00

oh my goodness... yesterday already "picked up" more then i should... today... i received the catalogue from cath kidston... and i found a lot of "i want" items arr... especially the floral cloth for my handicraft work arr...what to do??? called up zazie store... they said it should be cheaper if i order from them... at least save the shipping cost...

i already marked all the items i want and now waiting for their price quote before i confirm the order... hhhee.e.eehh....

last tuesday... aug 26 (after dinner)...

2008-09-02T23:24:00.000+08:00

after the dinner at happy valley with ex-colleagues... i "planed" to "pick up" something at cwb... but end up... "picked up" more then i should...

visited zazie store again... first... i saw this rose hand cream... i just need a get a small tube of hand cream... hahah.. here you are... without second thought... "one please!"...

when i was still wondering around the store... oh... i found this luggage bag on the top shelf... the sales assistant -- priscilla told me this is one of the vintage cloth collection... oh my god... "vintage"... by the time i heard this word... the devil side of me already shouting for it... then priscilla said... her boss told her to give me discount when i visit the store again because of the last incident... hhaha... with this reason... should i need to say anything... "one please!!"...

while priscilla was checking the price of the luggage bag... i got nothing to do but to touch everything in the store... then... i touched a red box (not the one in this picture)... and before i said a word... priscilla said softy... "oh... i almost forgot... boss reserved a similar floral box for you..."... then she started to dig out box that is still wrapped with bubble sheets... what else can i say..."i will take it..." (see the picture below...)

all this happened within 30 mins... and it was just my 1st stop at cwb... after this 30 mins... i know i must go straight home immediately via taxi... i just can't stay on the street alone for another min...

but i really like all the above i got... hehehe...

last tuesday... aug 26...

2008-09-02T23:23:00.001+08:00

dear all (especially cc and eve)...thanks for the wonderful dinner place at happy valley and lovely cake... love the shape and the lace lace part of the cake so much... eve eve, you are so sweet... note the word "birthdayssss" to include us all... thanks sooooooo much....

last monday... aug 25...

monday...had lunch at tks wong jia sha (王家沙) with colleagues... this is not my first visit at this restaurant but this is my first time sitting near to the "wall"...

yes... i love this creative wall and love the color combination... i was afraid to take photos of this wall when i'm sitting far away from it... cos ppl may think that i'm crazy and "dite lung"... but this time... hhaaha... finally... i can take some photos of this "wall" la...

it's been a week already...

2008-09-02T23:19:00.003+08:00

aug birthday dinner

2008-08-24T23:59:00.002+08:00

birthday dinner for the aug girls :: kae, lun mui and cam...

a very yummy "thai" private dinner place at cwb recommended by baybay... besides the delicious food they serve, the place got the full sea view of victoria park... but... today is their last day already...

i hope they will identify a new place soon... then we can enjoy their special thai food again...

(sorry... i was too hungry and forgot to take photos of the dishes...)

a nice afternoon at gay-day

2008-08-24T23:58:00.001+08:00

today i visited motu and brownie sugar with baybay and my cousin's 2 naughty daughters... the 2 girls were very happy playing with brownie sugar... plus messing up motu's place!!

something about the picture above...
~ motu was taking pictures with sugar and the little gift i made for the doggies
~ nosy azalea ran to motu, hand on her shoulder, pretending "friendly"
~ ...but... actually... she just...
~ intended to look at those pictures taken...

it was very funny... cos everytime motu takes pictures... she will act the same... seems like she wants to approve / examine each and every pictures taken...

when adria azalea meet brownie sugar

2008-08-24T23:45:00.001+08:00

this is naughty girl #1 :: adria

day 2 training

2008-08-15T18:00:00.001+08:00

the trainer said she will let us get off around 4pm... but end up we finished after 5pm... i think this training is useless for me... but it is useful for some other colleague... i am not saying that i'm smart... just that... some colleagues are just... too... (i don't want to say dumb... )... maybe... they are just have a simple mind la...

lunch with sabe & motu

2008-08-14T23:55:00.000+08:00

since today i'm having a training at central... got a chance for a quick catch up with sabe and motu at segafredo cafe... even thought it was a rush lunch for me... i felt so relax there... and enjoyed the little chat with the girls... i wish i can quit my normal work and have a relaxing afternoon everyday... having high-tea with my friends and family...

...dreaming....

i know... i know this will never happen...

unless... i hit the next mark-six...

... another dream...

disappointed

2008-08-14T01:09:00.001+08:00

~ what are they thinking?
~ why do they have to lie?
~ why can't they just tell everyone upfront this is computer effect?

"We used her to sing in all the rehearsals,but in the end the director thought her image was not the most appropriate, because of her buck teeth. Regrettably, we had to let her go. The main consideration was the national interest. The child on the screen should be flawless in image, in her internal feelings, and in her expression..." said Mr Chen Qigang, the ceremony's musical designer...

~ why is it so important to be pretty?
~ why can't we just show what we have?
~ why are we having such kind of "value" nowadays?

...i just don't understand...
