Mission Complete: Prison Break - Season 2 (Episode 1 - 13)

So I've been "seeing" Michael for the last wk (wahahahaha).... i wouldn't say Season 2 isn't as good as Season 1 - well, i think the speed is a bit slower, and having watching the whole 13 episodes in a wk's time have kinda "enable" me to know about the director's style so kinda be able to catch wht they wanna do next XD

anyway, i still think Michael is so cute (AND WITH THE BRAIN!) (but low dai told me he's gay?! NO WAY!!) hahahaa.... anyway, glad i've finished episode 1-13 during the wkend (so i don't have to stay up during wkday next wk) :D can't wait for the remaining episodes of Season 2 to come out..

P.S. Thanks for low dai to getting me the file :P

Questions...

just happened that a friend of my throw out this question when i was writing last blog,

"Do you think anyone is proud of you because of who you are or what you did?"

hmm... interesting question... frankly speaking i can't come up one on top of my mind right away... (er... pretty sad)... i mean, it's PROUD we're talking about, it's not like "oh, she's cool whatever whatever, it's PROUD we're talking about.... er.. i can think of a couple of my friends whom i think i'm PROUD to know them (as my friend)...

ANYWAY, it's not about me - what's ur answer?

A note from Budapest...

can't believe it was a yr since the last time i visited Budapest - last time i was really excited to go all over the place - but not this time anymore la - i mean, the weather is nice, i've like a whole afternoon (after biz meeting)... but then, for some reason i just don't wanna go around like last time...

oh well, it's okay i guess :P

over the wkend baby went to ah ca's 讀書會, too bad that i couldn't make it. Oh well, hope for next time la~~~ and it's so weird that we've been talking to ah ca for the last 10 yrs (so old man!)... mixed feeling - she was single (and so was baby) back then... and now both of them are MARRIED, and (both of them) with TWO kids...

also got vick's email for her wedding date... she has announced this like a while back, i just need to fix up my itinerary (ha, really need to CONFIRM it!)... so she's getting marry...

which reminds me another friend from Taiwan i know from Purdue.... over the yrs he got married with a HKese girl, and now with a kid (can't remember it's a son or girl?!)

listening to this song from last Miriam CD - one of my friends said that she can't find this in k (as she wanna sing it)... i think there's not much "music" behind, but the way miriam sing it (like telling a tale) is so... "my cup of tea"... I think it can also came from a guy's point of view (the gender can be vice versa) - and even though not everyone like her can achieve to be the TOP in her career - indeed it's kinda sad - not only to herself, but i think it's also sad for the guy...

她成功了他沒有

歌手：楊千嬅 | 作曲：Jean Chien
填詞：林夕 | 編曲：C Y Kong

他跟女友相愛　彼此也都知道
走進教堂彷似很遠路
他跟女友相約　假使理想找到
彼此再想婚禮實太好

跨出社會旅途　一起要為兩毫
加班加到嘔吐　不想拖到衰老
彼此理想一致　積蓄也都消耗
開一間唱片舖　也　總算是自豪

這間唱片小店　他跟女友一半
聽得再多歌也不會悶
開張顧客擠滿　不久惹起不滿
因他賣買的全是冷門

他的計劃滿盤　打開市道窄門
積蓄花去一半　彼此爭拗批判
股份各佔一半　他的女友想退
出去再去工作沒成本

這個故事發展　講他跟她不免
彷似世上情人講遍世上甜言
可惜經過試煉　不惜撕破了臉
為了錢　手裡沒餘錢

只恐很快情變　即使天生一對
只願睡完明天可再見
可惜他已發現　只得他那理想不變

他的顧客少到　心底未免感慨
堅守理想令錢袋有害
他的女友跑去　參加唱歌比賽
得到冠軍在承受喝彩

他都看著發呆　他不太擅理財
終於將唱片店忍心關閉不愛
找不愛的工作　跟他女友的愛
竟因理想不再枉過十餘載

他工作為兩餐　他分開的一半
早已照耀樂壇深怕有日被彈
星光不再燦爛　忠心觀眾發難
就似每晚過關就似永遠上班

跟他不再往還　只因所有愛情
可使一個偶像不養眼
想得到真愛更難　只想觀眾永久不散

他早已婚不再跟這女友相愛
青春理想失去不意外
他聽女友演唱　少不免有感慨
他早變了觀眾在喝彩

即使再沒往來　他的眼淚快來
一生彷似比賽　彼此找到所愛
拒絕平淡未來　他的女友偏愛
孤身隻影飛上天際摘雲彩

這個故事原本想講天生一對
彷似童話可愛
他得到髮妻的愛
他的女友偏卻得到理想失去愛
===

But then, what's 理想 afterall? Do we really have one these days? how can we plan w/ the "other half" - when we don't know what exactly we want (one self)?

A note from Geneva...

so i've been to Geneva for a bit more than 48 hrs.... well, let's do a little recap..:

• english definitely can't get you too far anywhere here in Geneva - French that is you need to know @_@' i'm a little surprised as u know, all these international organizations are having headquarter here... i was thinking this is an "international" city ma.... (even the lady in post office doesn't understand the word "stamps" - i mean, come on...... go to post office of course want to buy stamps la V_V
• unlike other EU city - i remember most EU cities i've been to, it will be like "ghost city" during wkend (okay maybe other than Amsterdam) - but today when i walked around most of the areas are quite crowded (like CWB in HK)... quite different than typical EU city i've been to loh
• weather is nice - not too cold (around 10-15deg C), just a few showers in the morning time, which i kinda manage to avoid them (i.e. slept in) haha
• ferry tour around the geneva lake isn't reallz that "special" - i mean, when we've star ferry in HK :P
• there're dogs EVERYWHERE - from the streets, to shopping mall (yep, i mean INSIDE THE SHOPPING MALLs), not to mention on the bus - AND, in the airport too!!! WOW Swiss REALLZ LOVES their pet....
• tried cheese fountain tonite (they call it cheess fountan) - one of the things one must do when they're in SWISS ma - but frankly speaking it definitelz not mz favorite loh - the taste is just sooooooooooooooooo strong it feel like the Chinese food - fu yue.... just imagine you dip ur bread into the warmed up fu yue sauce... yuk!!! tried so hard not to vomit in the restaurant!!
• for some reason their kezboard is different than US??? location of y & z is reversed, "shift 2" is not the sign "@" .... quite annozing "="
• i gotta line up for like 20 min in the currency exchange place near my hotel - i mean, BOTH 2 SHOPs had a long line! must be lots of tourist around the area...
• saw rainbow near the waterspout - i haven't see one for a longggggggggg time!!!
• i think that's all i remember for now - probably will blog more later on (as this keyboard is REALLY annoying!!) need to go back to the hotel to pack tonite, and head to Budapest tmr afternoon...

FW: First date signs he's a keeper....

from one of my friend's blog - quite interesting...

i know the key point is "FIRST" date - but personal I think #3 is IMPOSSIBLE (i myself don't remember if i ever turn off my phone DURING a DATE!? maybe i "refuse" to take calls but never turn it completely off) hahaha... and that it'll be totally awkward if he stares at me the whole time (and mention about his mom?? definitely a NO-NO for FIRST date la...

Or this is just a difference between GUY and GAL on their FIRST date?! :P

*LOL*
