It's been a long time....

since the last blog, wow, actually almost a month! i think it's probably a record breaking or sth...

anyway... actually still things going on (okay, maybe drink less so no updates for this 'drink blog') *LOL*.. well, yet on the other hand it's just more routine most of the time so doesn't feel like blogging... just not in the mood i guess...

the Level 8 Earthquake in Siuchan on May 12 is such a heartbreaking disaster. The Chinese gov't actually announced 3 days "national memorial day" (ain't sure if it's the official name) - the 1st one since the current Chinese gov't has set up for the last half a century. It's such a tragic... many of us in HK, and around the globe have donated to help out - for me, i feel blessed that i'm alive and live in a safe place (i can't imagine what would i do if i'm under the rubbles for more than a SINGLE day - not to mention 260+ hrs!!?!?)

Yet, I tend to turn away from the news these days.... more than a wk's DAILY reports on TV (and for sure more to come) - just make one so depress. just want to turn off the "news reception"

hmmm, let's note down something lighter - had a chance to meet up vicky last Sat while she was transiting in town - time sure flies and it has been almost a yr since we last met in her wedding. I think she's the same old vicky i know - except that she has grown and become much more mature (or just that I never see the mature side of her when we were back in school??) i don't know... it's always great to catch up with - although i always think what would happen if we were in the same place (e.g. i stayed behind) - maybe we won't be as close as now if u know what i mean.... nevertheless i just love her like my other little sis... knowing her living good is good enough :)

while on the other hand I feel like i just haven't really grown up and just "原地踏步" since i'm back... i mean, if not backward! :( shame on me....

during the conversation vick also asked if I wanna go back to work in the States.... strange that she's not the first / only one asked me the same question. I don't know if I want to either... for sure working now is definitely not something i'm enjoying. Oh well, i've made the choice so nothing much i should / could complain with...

cees will be giving birth in less than a month... she's not feeling well for the last week.... i hope she'll recover soon and have a healthy and happy baby...

also heard about great-grand kid news.. oh, on top of "little tomato"... hmmm. i guess i've past the stage of "friends getting marry" and entered the stage of "friends getting kids"?! One thing I don't understand is that some parents are so excited about their new addition to the family, telling the world about it (which i feel honor (okay, honor maybe a bit over done, but at least happy for them) when i heard the news - while some, for some reason they just don't care to share the news - maybe afterall i ain't that "friend" w/ them (which, u know naturally a scropio will get fuzzy about that).. anyhow, if u don't wanna disclose the expected due date.. FINE... afterall maybe we ain't that close afterall......

who knows.... maybe i'm really that 神 X 鬼X

ANYWAY, let's forget about it...

entertainment wise i've watched TWO movies this month (wow, that's quite a lot) Iron Man and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Iron Man was better than expected - check that out as Vick was saying it's better than Spiderman - turn out i do have to agree w/ her. :D (although Robert Downey Jr is not exactly cute but surely attractive haha!)... anyway.. for Indiana Jones - it's just the classic which one can't miss! (well, at least for me!!!) it's not about a 60-yrs old OLD MAN adventures, it's just a classic!! just like the Star Wars series (although I only watched Episode I and skipped II & III)... but u know what i mean.... actually the first 2 hrs of the movie was just great - so intense that u don't feel like 120 min has gone!! yet the ending is totally totally totally disappointing!!!! (okay, skip to the next paragraph if u don't wanna get spoiler details!) i mean, how in the world Spielberg got such a sloppy ALIEN ending ga X_X totally unacceptable (okay, not to mention the new guy Shia LaBeouf is NOTHING close to the handsomeness of Harrison Ford used to be!! i just can't imagine he becomes the next Indiana Jones)....

One thing has to highlight is that the sound track is very good... well, one of the 'usual' of spielberg i spse?

alright, enough complain... maybe the next coming up old folks' movie will be better -Righteous Kill - featuring Al Pacino and Robert de Niro - well, not really into Robert but big fans of Al Pacino.... i think the last movie was the one w/ Keanu Reeves? Hopefully HK will show the movie same time as US...

and for pisces, i thought i've put the whole thing down (not contacting is a good way!) but then on and off still dreams about. and it's just so hard to not to throw out the daily details to someone who used to be always there... the first one for movie reviews, entertainment... blow water... just so hard and hurt to let go.. *sigh* guess it has just turn into a nightmare in real life?! X_X just like my CPM, i was dreaming that I "passed" the other nite.. which u know, usually the other way around in real life *sigh*...

alright, it's 2.... better stop for now - sitll another LONG wk ahead...
