westie

my friend just bought a westie. it is a very friendly dog and clever dog as well.
i played tug-the-war with it and it knows immediatley how to play and game and even held his toy and played with me.

I like westie.

flag day

it's a long time since i took part in flag day after secondary school. it was not tough, quite easy indeed. in general ppl are polite even if they cannot contribute.

But i think i am different now. I used to have the determination to finish all the stickers. but now i do not have the passion any more. i think i have changed a lot.

it is just i have just realized the church has only old age ppl and children. just from those who involved today. not many young ppl. so myself, as an auntie, helped out carrying the bags to the bank.

quite pathetic indeed.

then G and I went for a beef noodle, as a reward or whatsoever.

Going to see Picasso's "parade" at the ifc was also another reward. the experience to see a piece of art in the shopping mall was a new experience. quite interesting.

Hong Kong is a photo society. everyone carries something photograpable. manual camera, half-manual camera, digital camera, very professional digital camera, cell phone, pocket pc...anything is photographable. just amazing. everyone is a photo-freak. i guess there is no place like hk which contains so many photographers.

feel very tired. still i have to work in the afternoon after all these rewards.

Before sunset

i will make it my favourite film of the year.
just watched it this evening.
after a hectic day, i deserve a good movie when it was released the first day.

the conversation in the car is the best.
"women like to pretend."
this is real and it kills.

hair dye

i was told lemon juice is a nature ingredient for hair dye.
just put on the lemon juice and sit under the sun for ...some time...
no exact time.

cos i don't like the chemicals very much, so i decide to give that a try.
so i squeeze the lemon juice. this is very easy. no difficult at all.
then spray them on my hair. it's also easy.
then i sit under the sun. it is a beautiful sunny day.
for 45 mins...
i check...
no change.
still the same.

so it is a failure. maybe my hair is too too too dark.
natural ingredient cannot decompose the color. thanks to my mom who ate a lot "sou woo". so i have extremely dark hair.
anyway, there is no choice. i will go to salon to fix it then.

you know what... no many ppl will follow this... spraying lemon juice on their hair and sit under the sun for 45 mins.

city observation: bus

i did not realize tunnel bus even has its gender issue.
i usually board the bus around 6 to 7.
Most people are students.
Middle aged women.
or white collar.
or office ladies.

but today i board the bus.
Just an hour later, the scene was entirely different.
most of them are working people.
some wer sleeping.
one was snorring heavily.
some were swearing with their friend. maybe.

so it was entirely different.
it was just i boarded the bus one hour later.
and this was Friday night.

At this hour,
Working wives went home to take care of their kids already
these working men went home for dinner
office ladies and guys went for dating and happy hour.

I, none of the above, observe as usual.

man in posche

i wait for the bus at the tunnel. i always see expensive cars come and go. BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Jaugar, Bentley, Posche...
They all look good. At the same I will know the latest model.

many people will fancy being invited to have a ride in these cars.

but will u have any fancy about sitting next to a man...
when the posche is queuing up to enter the toll, the car is moving very slowly.
the man picks his nose leisurely.
any fancy about sitting in a mucus car?

Mucus together.

inger christensen

I've just came cross this poet today. i could not wait to grab her book and read. unfortunately, very unfortunately, i cannot read Danish or even more unfortunately, local libraries do not collect her work.

Light is a love poem
Alphabet is the most popular poem
Butterfly is another volume

Not even a line of her work (in English) can be tasted on the Internet.
i will get them in the future.

farewell tea party

yesterday was a hectic day but it is a very efficient day.
in the morning, we had a farewell party with a friend. he and his wife will go to A for good. so we attended the morning service and went "yum cha" afterwards. it was too early in the morning, i could not think or drink. but seeing old friends was an enjoyable experience. It has been years... more than 8 or 7 years ??? we had not had the chance to sit together and chat like that. this just reminded me that time passed by and i did not have a good grasp of them.

i asked my brother whether he knew this friend.
my brother was cruel.
"The fat guy who looked like a "Chung Hang"...
He would never had the chance to finish the sentence because i stopped him.
I think J is almos the same generation as I did.
Now I am in the rank of "See nine" and "Chung Hang".

Age does matter.

football match

yesterday was another football match. the weather was exceptionally fine. it's nice to sit at one side of the pitch and look at the sun set. excuse me, i should concentrate on the match. the match was interesting. people were running around with all their efforts. they were pretty serious while playing the match. it just happened to me, this was something very usual. remember when i was in the secondary school, i hated inter-class competitions and i never treated it very seriously. i always stood there and hoped that they match would over as quickly as possible. or maybe there was a deep "loser" mentality behind.

f & c's husbands were rivals and they were goalkeepers on their sides. f & c were busy shooting. of course they screamed and yelled when their husbands were doing a good job.

B team's manager was a funny manager. he kept yelling "waste their time, waste their time..." a match to waste time as much as possible or what. anyway this was a strategy.

Ladies on the other side kept clapping and cheering the teams.

Unfortunately, they were named as "see nine". actually they are roughly the same age as i do. or even younger than me. poor thing, we all join the rank of "see-nine".

be thankful

remember to be thankful. Thankfulness can heal all things.
