  • I've just been tagged by nothingnormal and I'm suppose to say 6 weird things about me. Ha ha! Ok here it goes.


    1. I sleep with an eyemask.


    2. I keep my nailclippings in a tiny antique box given to me by my late aunt. I don't do it so often now because the box is in Vancouver. But everytime I visit I will fill it up a bit. First did it when I was around 9y-o. Not sure what triggered the idea.


    3. When I am home alone, I like to jump up and down and scream for no particular reasons.


    4. I sing in the shower.


    5. I dial my old phone numbers from time to time just to see whether the number has been assigned to a new user, and who is the new user. 


    6. I enjoy making up nicknames for people whose names I don't know, but I see all the time, eg. my classmates. For instance there is a fat guy who carries a Louis Vuitton bag all the time and I call him "LV Fat Guy". Or a middle-aged man whose face resembles a hippopotamus and I call him "Uncle Hippo", etc etc.


    Ha ha ha!!!

  • DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES

    Is anyone of you a fan too?


    Me and jkpiggy are big big fans of DH!!! Hee hee!!! Below is what I think of this season, and contains nil spoilers.


    013
    The part I loved most about the last episode was when Susan chatted with Julie towards the end. Every mum acts like Susan in a way - over protective and goes berserk from time to time over minor things. It was so so so sweet. Has anyone noticed how much Julie has grown since Season One? She is a completely different girl and she is hot!


    0606
    I'm cannot see what Susan sees in Mike, besides the fact that he is hot (and in her eyes only). Honestly any reasonable person would choose Ian over Mike the current jailbird and ex-murderer. Ian is handsome, rich, successful, and most of all he is head-over-heels in love with Susan. Meanwhile Mike (IMO worse actor in DH) suffers from amnesia and does not even remember ever being Susan's boyfriend. Not to mention the fact that Susan nearly died for him when Zach Young pointed a gun at Susan in the last episode of Season One because of Mike. How stupid is she? Bloody hell! Anyway, it seems like something "happens" between Mike and Monique, as per the sexy flashback. Is Mike unfaithful to Susan before his accident? I guess not, since he actually buys her an engagement ring. OMG I am so confused!


    10
    DH has one mystery per season. In Season One it was with the Young family, Season Two the Applewhites, and Season Three Alma/ Orson/ Monique. Just when everyone (myself included) though Orson has killed Alma, she returns all healthy and well and of course scheming. Her motive is clear : she wants Orson back. And she is blackmailing him with what she knows - that Orson runs over Mike months ago and his involvement with Monique's death. I can't remember the exact wording. But just a thought : Maybe it was Alma who kills Monique? And Orson runs over Mike after he finds out the Mike is one of Monique's lovers too?


    64
    I feel sorry for all the crap that Bree has to go through. It seems like the scriptwriters just can't stop messing with her life. First she has a husband, Rex, who is into sadomasochistic sex, and later dies after accusing her of poisoning him. Then she gets herself a psychotic pharmacist boyfriend, George, who later kills himself. Several episodes later she abandons her evil (still?) homosexual son Andrew in the middle of no where because he sleeps with her boyfriend just to piss her off. Then she is strapped in a mental asylum. After that her daughter Danielle has a murderer boyfriend Matthew who almost kills her. And now she is married to the mystery of the season - Orson.


    5
    Speaking of Andrew, where is his bum-chum Justin? Justin loves him enough to beat him up so Andrew can lie to the lawyers. Why has he been such a goody goody since his return? Is he on to something?


    0204
    I sooooooooo want Carlos and Gabrielle to get back together!!!!!


    07
    Tom and Lynette have the least fluctuation in their storylines. The only one was probably when crazy but not dead Nora and Kayla turns up. IMO, Tom is absolutely useless. First he quits his job to be a househusband, then he returned to work and now he is about to open a pizza restaurant with all their life savings. He is a nice guy but career-wise he is a complete loser. Hm...


    Can't wait until the mystery reveals itself!!! OMG!!! Season finale in May... Why can't it come sooner?

    Went all the way to HK Examination Authority in Wong Tai Sin to hand in my exam application forms for my exams this June. I came here once in 1993 when I took my Common Entrance exams for UK secondary schools. I can't believe it took me 14 years to return again. Ha ha!!


    Never been to Wong Tai Sin before and things were really new to me. The MTR station was in the middle of Wong Tai Sin public housing district. The buildings looked quite old and the people in the streets looked old too.

    Would love to go to Wong Tai Sin Temple next time!!

    This is Professor Nigel Furey. I sat in the front row, right in front of him in the last lecture. It did not happen because I was keen to learn the gists of Company Law. I first sat happily in the 3rd row. Then this girl came and sat one seat away from me. She was so freaking annoying - kept switching pens and highlighters every second and make an awful amount of noise closing and opening caps on her pens and also flipping her notes about. I got fed up and moved away.


    As you can see here Prof Furey is an old man. Throughout the lectures he kept his hand on the OHP perhaps to help him stand better. 15 minutes from the end of the last hour Prof Furey place his left hand on his stomach and said, "Oh I'd better sit down for a while! Let's have a short break everyone." He swiftly sat down and looked really pale. I thought he was having a heart attack or something. I looked around and no one seemed to care - people continue to read their notes and chat with people around them. Until a caring lady approached Prof Furey and asked whether he was alright and he said, "I must have eaten something dodgy."


    Scary!

    The second lot of Land Law lectures started on Sunday afternoon. There were 2 groups for Land Law and this time HKU is putting the two together. I was reunited with some old classmates and it was great to see them again. Got 3 more evenings this week, then a short break before Evidence. Well, not really a break because I should really start revising ha ha ha!!!

  • FREAK ACCIDENTS

    There has been several freak accidents in HK lately.


    On Sunday a drunken man was climbing up his bunk bed when he slipped and fell out of the window to his death. You do not have to understand Chinese to figure out what happened.


    A01_01_a


    But this accident below really saddens me.


    A01_01_a
    09la1p105


    An Isadora Duncan-like death - KILLED BY A SCARF. Girl aged 6 was killed, just yards from school, when the door of the minibus which she had just got off caught her scarf and drove off with it. The second image shows her lying on the ground dying, with onlookers too scared too move her while awaiting arrival of paramedics.


    When I do die, I hope I will be able to find out the cause of death before actually dying, and not like this.


    R.I.P.


     

  • COUGHING MY F**KING LUNGS OUT

    The flu is gone but my cough is getting worse. My throat feels really dry and cough is chesty with lots of phlegm which cannot be coughed out. On the rare occasion that it did come out - I COUGHED OUT GRAY PHLEGM! I looked it up on Google and I think I have either lung cancer or chronic bronchitis. The latter is not a surprised to me because I had bronchitis for many years as a child. But chronic? I just didn't expect it to return.


    This is precisely why I have been preaching to my younger friends that once you turned 25 all parts of your body suddenly deteriorates at the speed of light. Recently girlfriend AL said to me, "My tummy has lost the ability to stay flat even if I starve myself for several days." Sigh.


    Anyway, I took medicine as prescribed by my doctor on Monday and it kept me awake all night and at 5am I thought there was no way I could go to school in the evening if I went to work, so I sent stupid Boss M an email telling her that I wanted a day off work.


    I *think* I finally fell asleep at 6am. Not sure though, because my alarm clock went off at 6:45am for jkpiggy to get up for work.


    I took my last dose of the medicine at noon yesterday and also took some pills to help me sleep when I got home after school (10:30pm) and fell asleep at 3am. Now I am back at work and I am dead tired. I can't wait to go ZzzZzzZzz tonight...

  • A flu is going round the office and I am the latest victim.


    We went to see 007 on Saturday and afterwards jkpiggy said he would get me a gift within a sum he set. BUT I WAS TOO ILL TO GO SHOPPING!!! Damn it! By the way I loved this new 007! I think Daniel Craig is a much better actor than Pierce Brosnan, but the latter is more attractive. What I don't understand is that this film is supposed to be the prequel to all 007 films right? So why was the film set in present day? Or is 007 timeless?


    I felt dizzy the entire weekend and did not sleep well. Both my mind and body were exhausted but I just could not sleep. I went to school for the first hour yesterday and just had to get home and rest.


    jkpiggy said to his dad about my illness, "It is so good to see her sitting down quietly! Normally she talks to much. I wish she could be ill like this everyday."


    Have a really horrible school timetable this week : this evening, tomorrow evening, then Thursday through Tuesday! Argh!!!





    SpiceGirls01


    Saw The Spice Girls : 10 Years of Girl Power last night. I was hoping for a program like Raw Spice but I was wrong. It was a discussion of whether 'Girl Power' enhances feminism and it was rather boring. jkpiggy walked off after the first 15 minutes. I believe they sent out positive vibes to young girls (their main fan base), in the way that they should do whatever they want and it is ok to speak out, etc etc. But the main thing was - it was all part of the Spice Girls marketing right?


    The program brought back so many memories ha ha! Sometime in 1996 my friend Eathar wanted to get their cd for her little brother (who was 8y-o at the time) but was too embarrassed to go buy it, and so she paid another girl to do the job! Ha ha! Little did I know that few years later the same happened to me : jkpiggy wanted to buy Backstreet Boys (or was it Westlife?) cd and force me to walk up to the cashier! Ha ha!!

  • HAVE I GONE MAD?

    I'm sure it is a worker's dream to one day confront the boss and tell him that he is full of shit.


    I did just that this morning. The time had come for my annual appraisal. I promised myself not to say anything except ok ok ok because there is serious communication problems between me and the bosses. We barely talk, and when we do, they never listened.


    This morning when my boss M asked what I thought of work and I really could not restrain myself and I said, "What is the point of telling you what I think? I asked boss T for more work last year and you two did nothing to improve the situation!"


    And I also said it at boss M's face that:


    1. She gives clear instructions and slows down everyone's work.
    2. She has too much spare time ("You spend half your time on the phone.") and hence loves to pick on small things.
    3. She sends unnecessary reminder. My analogy was, "Like your mum calling you twice a day reminding you to clean your teeth."


    Boss M ended the meeting with, "You are giving me a hard time."


    My parents will probably tell me off big time if I told them what I did. But I thought, since I will leave this place in around 6 months anyway, why not bullock my boss for the right things - deemed right by normal people and not just myself?


    Anyway, I have mixed feelings now. But what's done is done. Oh well~! I will not regret it.

    School has started again. This time it is Company Law with Professor Furey. Last night was the 5th lecture for all but 1st for me because I missed the first 4 when I went to the Maldives. I was really quite confused. But when I looked around I also saw many ??? on people's faces, and the girl next to me did not write a single word on her notes. Maybe I am not so stupid afterall?!  


    Image074
    The first thing jkpiggy bought in 2007 were PSP games. He got them for me so I won't bother him while he is focussing on his PS3 games! Ha ha!! I am currently playing Grand Theft Auto and I am stuck and am waiting for jkpiggy to help me complete a mission so I can move on to the next one.

  • Death Penalty

    Saddam Hussein's life came to an abrupt and premature end on the last day of 2006.


    I have mixed feelings about his execution.


    On one hand I thought he deserved it because he killed thousand during his reign of terror. A life for a life. It is only fair.


    One the other hand I wish they had kept him alive and tortured him instead. This is not about human rights. Dying is such an easy exit! I believe imprisonment is the ultimate and a more suitable punishment for Saddam. Better yet, if he was sent to a medieval slave camp or prison or dungeon or something, and got whipped all day as well as doing hard labour. Ha ha!


    Why am I so evil on the first day of work?
