New hair

Friday, watched Mama Mia, the movie, and went home keep watching TV till really late, woke up at 11 something on Saturday morning.

Thinking what to do for the weekend. Maybe another movie and a hair cut then.

Used to do things alone but still can not over come the alone-movie-watching.

Made the appointment for the hair cut, got several calls from work, complaining about each other that sort of things.

Driving car and dropped everyone off on the way.

Voila. New hair, fresh me, and nice Mike. Hehe

End of August

'Well, it's end of August.' That's the first wording I got this morning. And?

Exactly, that's what I said. Suddenly hit me of my COMTRACT thing. Oh yes, it is the date I was told about my premanent status.

As usual, it is a busy day. Hardly got the chance to ask, nor too busy in our depaetment to approach this issue. About lunch time, all the business seems to be a mean guy mocking us piling down out of the blue.

Sit down and a talk. Well as expected, 'seeing is believe.' even agent X always told us, 'I wanna believe.' So keep waiting to see the real thing then.

Busy and busy, no time to think. So many new product launching in Sept, so little time to release the necessary information, plus the last piece of knowledge just in. Planned to leave earlier after so much hard work, ends up leaving at six thirty.

Second thought, it is EARLIER compared to my normal working hour.

So end of Aug, and beginning of Sept. Instead of seeing it as a month end, preparing a new start. After all, life goes on, and you move on.

度小月

Can't remember when is last time I visited East district. Back in my time, oh no, I'm using the OLD people's term, this area is like my high school area.

I thought it'd be difficult to find a place to eat, yet just turn a corner into a non-main street ally. Voila! Packed with new and fancy restaurents.

Not that easy to find one, especial when you don't know what to eat. Of course, you know those chain dinner places. It is okay, bit expensive, but very easy and at least you know it is OKAY.

旦仔麵, well, it's like NEVER go wrong, isn't it? One 肉圓 to go with my noodle. Perfect!

The portion of the 'meat ball' is like bigger than you'd think of. Okay, maybe that can explain the PRICE. Just when you thought you understand something, the noodle is served, unbeleivible small, and nearly dry, considering you ordered a noodle soup.

Taste is alright. To sum up, traditional, fancy local place. Only the price is not that local.

LATE and dream

When you work like this late, well, not LATE late, but late enough for you to think whether you should have a quick bite before leave or just skip the meal and go home.

But we all know what will happen. You go home, takes about one hour, and then you feel straving even you know that it is too late to eat and bad for your digestion. Certainly it will help to put on more weight. YOU EAT ANYWAY.

It's the time when you wonder, huh, should I just take taxi home? But not late enough for you to claim company cost. You think over while waiting for the bus...

One trip costs X, and you probably work LATE like every DAY only! So, about 20 X every month. Deduct your salary, or calculating the share. You suddenly realise, Wow, that is where your salary goes every month.

No wonder you work so hard, but never really see anything in your bank account.

Then you start to plan, huh, if I save the money every month. Then, I will have 20 X extra every month, then I will have 240 X a year! That sure is something compared to what I made every month!

So you started to plan how to EFFICIENTLY use this money. So much of a modern, intelligent collar level!

Before you knew it, you are a billionaire in your plan, and you missed your bus! Then it is raining now.

好久不見

It's been a while since I last updated my blog.

Almost a year has passed by, and so many has happened in me and in my friends.
Well to name a few, I changed my job from Nippon Interier to France Fashion.
Couple friends broke up with their the other halves, and some got back together.
Some friends are going to be engaged!! (Congratulations!!)
Some are getting C country's working visa! (Finally and congratulations too!)
Some are persisting gettomg their PR whatever it costs.

Well, lifes are full of good and bad.
I'm still stucking in my visa issues and due to the first one, it's like a snow ball.
Just can't stop getting bigger.

Feel so happy for my friends wherever you are about moving forward to next step of your lives, and feel very positive for my friends wherever you are stuck in-betweens.

I remembered when I was a kid, always picturing if I grew up, there were so much I couldn't do when I was kid. Now, I cheriched the child still within me but couldn't stop teasing that child, how silly you were and how it's not possible to do whatever you want no matter how old you are.

When reality faces fatansy, sometimes, it might comflict a wonderful spark and creat an amazing result. But most of of the time, either you are forced to give up your dream, or you give in to your reality.

When I looked back to when I first started this blog, I can't stop wondering, what would have I planning for me and what have I become now? How many times I faces my dream vs. reality? and how many times exactly I have given in or out to which?

I have started praying since I was in the military. Not that I'm a stronger believer, yet when you feel helpless and so desparate, your mind needs a place to rest, to rely on. So I pray, to my ancestors, to the God, to Gods, to Buddad, to spirits. I'm not sure whether it works, cause it's never been my purpose when I prayed.

It reminds me of a movie I watched the other day, it said: if you pray for courage, do you think God will just give you courage or give you a chance to learn and gain courage? if you pray for happily ever together, do you think God will just give it to you or do you think God will give you a chance how to gain that and cherish after?

Then, I started again to review what I've been praying for. Have I gotten my chance? or have I just missed it without realising it? Life is full of choices, it's all about balancing and making the choice at the right time. Yet, I'm more curious of what would you do when you made the wrong choise at the wrong time? How do you mend that? or how do you compensate those?

Do we really always, ALWAYS get a second chance? I wonder...

One year, two jobs, and three years passed, getting over my home sick of London. Missing the time with the old friends, and missing the time of watching Friends with friends. I can still SEE the streets of London in front of me. It must have been changed so much, but still sto vivid in front of me. I could still feel the brick of the corner, and the traffic of the road.

Tonight, once again, I pray, pray for my friends, my family, for what I've done, pray. for what I'm doing, and for what I will do. Praying for if I had the chance, I would have seized it and made it right. Praying for if I could fly high, I could spread my wings and fly higher.

This is the night, I pray with hope that everything and everyone is okay.
