Slept in today.
Woke up about 1pm and vegetate infront of the tv for 5 hours. Dom is lucky, HK weather is gorgeous today after a horrid week of thunderstorm and rains. Hope he is enjoying himself somewhere on this island and smelling the same polluted air as me. Haaa haa haaa!!
Waiting for the chicken to defrost so that i can start cooking soup for dinner. I am resistant to using microwave. I am just not a fan of something that will speed up my food and in the process, killing off all nutrients in the food.
Guess it will be another round of late dinner. Wanted to bake a cake today but forgot. Guess the whole late week has taken weaken my resolve to do something different.
My nephews has grown up to be such cuuuuuuute boys now. Everytime when i see them, I feeel like giving them a big hugs and smother them with kisses...

Sat thoughts
Ah Dom: "Yes you are right. Some ppl are just slow. Anyway, I am slow too sometimes :(. I wanted to laugh on copywriting and copywrite..."
I laughed when i read ah dom's comment to my earlier post.
Laughed because seeing it from his angle at the part of the copyright vs copywriting, it is funny now that the moment is over. Actually I am glad she asked in a way because it brings down my expectation level. I will feel less irritated if she doesnt deliver the results later.
However it certainly didnt feel so yesterday when i was busy. I pray my emotions could start with a clean slate on Monday and not see her differently.. . When your perception of a person is tainted, it is best to minimise contact to prevent it from worsening.

Weather Talk
"How's the weather in HK?" Dom asked me earlier this eve.
I told him it was crap.
It has been thunderstorms and rains. Places are flooded, trees snapped, and its just plain crazy. Its not even the typhoon yet and its already horrendous. He told me that Shenzhen is just as bad. All the place he liked (to have his meals) are all flooded.
"Mother Nature is angry" he said.
"Her sons are naughty that's why." I replied.
"They make an utter mess and they refuse to clean up. They simply push the blame and the responsibilty to clean up to one another." I shared my thoughts with him. He agreed.
"Many scientists say greenhouse gases are responsible for a warming Earth and, if not reduced, could lead to massive storms, floods, heat waves, droughts and a rise in sea levels. US President George W. Bush is expected to outline some adjustments to national climate-change policy in his State of the Union speech next week, but retain his opposition to mandatory limits on greenhouse gas emissions. " ~quoted from PlanetArk
" As Prime Minister Tony Blair of Britain, a proponent of emissions targets, said in a statement on Nov. 1: "The blunt truth about the politics of climate change is that no country will want to sacrifice its economy in order to meet this challenge....
And the United States - by far the world's largest producer of greenhouse gases - continues to say that emissions targets or requirements would stunt economic growth in both rich and poor nations." ~quoted frm truthout

Lousy HK woman driver - Part 2 (@7pm)
Picture is self explanatory.
I almost had the urge to ask her if she needs me to park her damn car for her. Her young son was bobbing up and down in his back seat wondering why his mum was taking so long.
"Don't buy such a big and huge car just for "flauting your wealth" if you cannot drive and park. "
i am only thankful that her designated lot is NOT next to mine. her rear mirror was almost touching the other car when i walked past her.
Note: * I only drew 5 pink arrows because that's the only way i wont clutter my diagram. In reality, after 3 mins (>10 attempts (according to my cd song), she still wasnt parked. And I only started counting when i stop. I didnt count the attempts before i was in the lot and while i was parking. *Sigh*
Lousy HK (woman) driver - Part 1 (@9.15am)
This is what i think after being on the road for one year. Minmally the cab driver this morning agrees with me on this "equation". The more expensive, bigger cars (including SDV) they drive, the WORSE they are!!! *groan*
"if you havent figure out what is wrong with this picture...here's a hint.
The lane of blue cars next to us are stationary and not moving as up ahead is a one way lane (due to pavement reno) and cars were coming out.
****************************
*pause*
***********************
You still DONT get it as to what is wrong...?
**************************
*Answer*
***********************
The woman could have turn right as the purple car could not have turn into the smaller lane as the blue car was not moving.
Instead of being decisive, the stupid woman hog the lane for abt 2 min, until the cars next to us started moving. She wanted to move THEN, but its too late. So we had to wait for another 3 mins for the purple cars to move (their right of way). And i was **stuck behind a series of slow trucks and doubledeck buses.
I muttered" bloody idiot" and sensing my support, my cab driver joined in and lamented the "unsurpassable" lousy skills of our dear mercs driver.
**NOTE: HK roads are SINGLE LANES. *arrrrhhhhh!!!*
Following
The first time i heard this song, the haunting melody captured me.
It isnt the sort of song that you want to hear day to day,
but its a mood song, the reflective sort, the amicable parting sort...
Arnold and his usual verbal "riots"
@9.50am. Arnold saw my injured ankle.
"What happened?" He asked
"Fractured my ankle." I revealed.
"From falling off the bed?!" he hooted in his usual cheeky french laugh.
"From the washing machine actually. Its higher." I retorted in the mood of banter.
"OOOooooooooooooooo" Arnold exclaimed in false pretence.
We laughed heartily.
The actual truth & sequence of events are not of importance to Arnold.
@2.30pm. I saw Arnold and called out to him
"You have finished your fragrance training right? Could i have the meeting room coz i have a vendor meeting at three." I asked him.
"Ooooo.. but that is my little mobile office. Do u have another space for me?" Arnold winked and ask in that cute play acting voice of his.
"Yup, I have reserved the smaller meeting room. you can have that as your "office". I need the big room with projector" . Arnold went "oooooo.."
After checking out the small meeting room.
"Ok! Because i love you. You shall have my big room! But only because i love you." he said unabashingly, not bating an eyelid.
"Ooooohhh yes Arnold, I love u too!! Thank you." I grinned.
"Yes! Only because i love you. I dont do it for everyone." He reminded me jokingly.
"I know. Yooooooooou are the sweetest.".
I couldnt keep a straight face, not with Arnold making the puckered lips. Everyone around us laughed.
Only gay man can pull this off and still be loveable.
Being French adds to his credit too. Ha!

Mind Drowning
My mind cannot stay still. If there isnt work to keep it busy, it wanders. It wanders alot. Up and down, far and wide, running amok.
The week off from work gave my mind so much time and freedom to wander. Is it a good thing to have so much time to reflect so much? I dunno, but it is moments like these that you ponder and constantly question yourself. You think about the mistakes, the missed chances, you simply think about your life past, present and future.
I thought about the different cross junctions in my life, the different decisions made, the dilemas, the self doubts, the questions, the laughters, the tears, the regrets. I remember the chapters opened, the chapters closed, the chapters uunended. I thought alot today. I thought about all the people I have met, the people I have left behind, the people I hate, the people I cry about, the people I miss, the people I loved, the people to thank for bringing love and joy in my life at different stages of my life.
Sometimes you have so much memories that some just quietly fade into the background and stayed buried until something jolt it back to surface. Kind of like a jolted sting ray buried under the sand surfacing from beneath the sand. It happens so fast that you simply don't see it coming.
yesterday I was eating a small piece of cake and I suddenly remembered a very sweet gesture once on Xmas. It brought a wistful smile to my face and very quickly, this is where flashbacks takes over.
Armed with a book and ipod. I lay in the baking sun (resting my recovering ankle), with the breeze blowing, while I surrender myself completely to my memories drowning me for the rest of the day.

A little nice french dinner with my best gf
Weather's been acting up again in HK. It was 26degree the day i landed and Monday it dropped to 15. Today, it prob is hovering between 10-11 degrees.
Had a wonderful dinner with Jo last night. We decided to venture out of causeway bay for a change and went to LKF for dinner instead. I told her i vaguely rem a French restaurant and we kinda poke around abit before I finally locate the not so secret hideout. Haa haaa. We didnt go Soho coz it was too bloody cold and we were underdressed that night.
Cafe Artiste was pretty quiet that night considering it was a Tuesday night. There were prob only 3 table filled inclusive of our patronage. So i was kinda skeptical about the "serving" and "quality". I mean seriously, if u are gonna have crap French cusine, u might as well spare your cash for better stuff.
Jo and I decide to share our mains and so she went for this blazing beef with Foie Gras (HK285) while I went after the duck breast (HK190) since we both werent keen on fish that night. The lobster bisque as starters was pretty mild and average. I wasnt overly crazy since it lack the wholesome rich seafood flavour.
However the main came as an utter surprise. The portion are HUGE! Well at least, it justified the cost of the main. First they cook the beef before you but both of us were so engross in chatting that we hardly minded his presence or whatever he was dishing out. Actually we talked so much that we realise we overorder due to lack of hunger. Still, we liked what we came for and had lemon sherbet to clear the buds as dessert.
What kinda surprised me was Jo insisting on footing the bill. She said it would be a belated birthday treat and nothing i said could sway her otherwise. So it was like an expensive "date" except it is with your good fren for 4 solid hours. There was so much to share about - views, experiences, takes in life. I mean how much can u talk during lunch. By the time we left, we discovered the common grounds and similarities we had are simply stupefying!!! I mean one in a million chance for 2 people from different country, env to share such common traits and experiences is just unbelievable!
The whole restaurant was completely empty and we bet the sole waiter was aching for us to leave so that he could slam the door behind us! haaa haaa. The kitchen was already closed and lights were off.
The night was really cold and we kinda huddle together walking to the cab Q at Landmark. Then the topic got interesting and we decided to hide in Harvey and chat abit more, away from the fearless wind. Haa haaa. It's hard to describe but its like those moments that time passes like a wink. I felt like I was still on my ride of joy.
Its moments like this that is really great, to be able to find a match and talk to an equal, without great theatrics I might add. Just simple points and message that drives home without any need for elaboration. Now that's real communication for you. I will truly miss her when I leave HK.

A great nite out back in sg
Fell asleep during my Bio-Body massage. It was Gooooood. I was so pleased with the session.
I looked at my hp and went "shit". 2 missed calls. My fren's partner session apparently ended earlier than expected. I called him and he was at the hotel lobby waiting. 10mins earlier than planned.
We were suppose to try the Japanese restaurant at Dempsey road but he couldnt find it since stan and jas had the idea it was under a name Yen or Zen. We drove round and finally located it with a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT name by Oosh. And anycase, it didnt even come across as Jap (http://www.streetdirectory.com/travel_guide/singapore/restaurants_in_singapore/825/oosh_lots_of_oomph.php)
It looks absolutely lovely at night but unfortunately it was full. I was willing to bend for other options but he said "Nope, you will get what you came for. Though unfortunately u are with a not very enlightened chap on Jap food." Ha ha so we ended up driving round the block for other Jap in shenton! haa haa
After dinner, in his ardent quest to feed me thoroughly with my local cravings, he proceeded to go to Selegie for beancurd. So imagine at 10.30pm, i was still eating. I am so gonna burst. OMG. But i have to admit, it was really good.
It was quite funny coz we were sitting under the spotlight in the back alley. I asked "Do you know what this feels like?" He was so quick and answered "A flim set." I laughed and nodded. It was nice, sitting there in the back alley and the gentle breeze coming thru. Its moments like this that really pushes noisy polluted HK out in the far remote part of my head.
We talked about all the things i had seen and experience including the trip to Vatican. He snorted in utter amusement when i gave him the look of "death" when he made a crap joke about my favourite sculpture of Apollo and Daphne @Borghese House (http://www.wga.hu/frames-e.html?/html/b/bernini/gianlore/sculptur/1620/apollo_d.html) .
Then he shared his conversation with this gal about sistine chapel and the girl replied "Yah yah, I love the chapels there! there are really alot chapels. I think there are more than 16 chapels" I chortled at the really dumb statement. Is that gal really for real?? We cracked up laughing when he saw my look of disbelief. He said he stopped the conversation with the gal immediately since there wasnt any point in pursuing a non intellectual conversation.
By midnite, we decided we had enough spot light shining on us and headed back.
We stopped by Holland 7-11and it was like a dead town. He said it was like that ever since they stop people parking by the road side. As we were drowning ourselves with icy cold water, we stood opposite the coffee shop and he pointed out the yellow box for smokers. I stared incredulously at it. "Does it actually help? I mean the wind blows and you still get the stinky smell dun u? ". Well that's the law he said. You have to be in the yellow zone to smoke. Sometimes smokers felt like they are being persecuted. I laughed and replied, "Its not a fantastic habit to cling on to anycase."
I thought for a sec and asked. "If say your butt is seated away and out the yellow box, but your hands with the cig within the yellow box. And when you bend over to smoke within the line, technically you are not flauting the law are you even though your arse is out of the box?" He laughed and asked me if i was trying to challenge the law? I grinned. Who cares, i dun smoke. It was just the fun for thought kinda thing.
We moved on and he showed me the new pockets like Rochester Park with the new restaurants and all.

Since sunrise watching wasnt really the agenda, we started to head back to town. Dead tired but satisfied by the time i hit the sack. I probably seen more of singapore in a night than i was staying here. And i was thankful for the very nice gesture, keeping me entertained while I have my usual bouts of insomnia, not to mention the really cool cd he gave me to keep me occupied for the rest of the waking hours. Happy!

A little chill on friday
Friday.
Finally cleared the email backlog from last week. Friday was kinda eff-up and so i abandon my laptop for the weekend just to chill out.
I made a trip down to Trac's place to visit her and little Jerlene (the one of the 2 times to admiralty!) Since god had give me this unexpected opportunity to be back in town, i better fulfill my promise to visit them!
I laughed and told Trac that i couldnt decide who the bb took after! But she has such lovely locks that it's no wonder why her daddy absolutely would not bear to cut it for whatever chinese traditions. Had a go at carrying the little one and went on chatting with her mummy. To a point, i made a joke to trac, "Your daughter lying on my lap feels just like another pillow warming my legs and she looks damn comfy lor! Tempting me to sleep!"
Along the way, was suppose to meet CW for quick tea break as he had to head to town for his meeting. Before we met, i bumped into the office cleaner who worked on my floor. I was extremely surprised when she called my name and came to talk to me. I use to chat with her in the mornings when she clean my cubi but didnt know she knew my name! I was delighted to see her but she has aged. Suddenly I thought of my mum and felt a wave of attachment.
CW came shortly and we drove off to Junction 8 for quick tea. I told him he positively looked better without the dark golf tan and his recent marriage has done alot of good for him! He was glowing and he laughed his usual laugh.
I ended up with retail therapy @ Future state and Phuture London and grabbed everything nice in sight since i was so deprived in HK with shopping for the type of clothes i like, at a decent price. Ended up walking back to my hotel with 2 bags and over 15 tops and skirts in less than 15mins. I hate long shopping session. That will settle my new wardrobe for the next few months to come when the weather warms up. I just couldnt find any decent pair of shoes.Sigh.

I was extremely surprised when she called my name and came to talk to me. I use to chat with her in the mornings when she clean my cubi but didnt know she knew my name! I was delighted to see her but she has aged. Suddenly I thought of my mum and felt a wave of attachment.
CW came shortly and we drove off to Junction 8 for quick tea. I told him he positively looked better without the dark golf tan and his recent marriage has done alot of good for him! He was glowing and he laughed his usual laugh.
I ended up with retail therapy @ Future state and Phuture London and grabbed everything nice in sight since i was so deprived in HK with shopping for the type of clothes i like, at a decent price. Ended up walking back to my hotel with 2 bags and over 15 tops and skirts in less than 15mins. I hate long shopping session. That will settle my new wardrobe for the next few months to come when the weather warms up. I just couldnt find any decent pair of shoes.Sigh.
