Today's weather was very nice so yekini and I went to the Peak w/ Elvin! I can't believe he has much more energy than us! hahaha i hope he had fun... :)

Picts from Osaka Trip :)

A note from Osaka...

Tmr will be the last day of this 5days 4 nites Osaka trip... the only comments i've are:

1. i am tooooo used to travel all by myself for so long and it's difficult to travel w/ someone else
   
2. it's very difficult to find a good travel buddy, even though we're very close when we are in HK...
3. it's very diffifcult to find a eating buddy - u know la, eating is the most important part of ALL my trips ga ma....
   

anyway, i guess by being selfish i achieved what i planned for this trip:

• Universal Studios Japan - total disappointment as ALL THE GAMES are in japanese WITHOUT ENGLISH CAPTION!!! i think they should at least put english subtitle!!!! LOVE spiderman ride! awesome!
• Museum of Tezuka Osamu 手塚治虫記念館 - it was awesome and i'm so glad i made it (in big risk of losing a friend!!!) it's not convenient in terms of traveling (in the middle of nowhere! ) and one "bad" thing is that NOT ENOUGH sourvinor!!!!
  
• Kobe BEEF!! although only "street snack" the texture is sooooooo good!! and i'm so sure it would be a lot better if it's from a "proper" restaurant - since it's Sunday today when i visited Kobe, most (at least the 2 out of 3 jap restaurants i passed by) are "full house"!! @_@
• oh yeh, not to mention i'm able to buy a box of mask, which is currently all sold out in HK!!
  

Things haven't achieve yet:

• Temples in Kyoto
• Sushi
• sushi and sashimi and sushi and sashimi.....
  

Well, tentative schedule for tmr is kyoto but who knows, depends on what time we're ready to go! *LOL* yet it's okay, I guess I will just take it easy (as i really don't wanna fight my friend - and i've to go back to work the very next day!!) V_V''

It's just difficult to "live" w/ another person, even though just a few short days. i heard it's difficult but i hope i didn't risk the friendship this time.

i guess it works the same between bf / gf relationship?!

Picts to follow...

Movie Review - Knowing

I've been a Nicholas Cage's fans for a long time (except those army/hero movie(s) he did a long time back) *LOL* so last night after taking Elvin for his annual body check my friend and i went to watch his latest movie - Knowing

It's a sci-fri movie about a "gifted kid" wrote a series of code predicting major disasters in the next 50 yrs (since 1959) and put it in her school's time capsule. So Nicholas Cage being a father of the current day's schoolkid get this "code letter", and found the "decoding" by accident...

Full of actions, and REALLY CREEPY when the "ghost" comes out *LOL* A movie HAS TO BE WATCHED in theatre b/c of the awesome sound effect. Enjoy the movie quite a lot, although i don't like it end the movie w/ "Aliens".... i always think lazy writers use aliens ending (like the new indiana jones) - just "blame" everything on the aliens lor :PPPPP

and, if there's really a "End of the World" day... whom I could be w/??

later this afternoon - Monsters vs. Aliens - @ IMAX!!! :D

古巨基 Eye Fever 演唱會2009

it has been a busy week - well, work as stressful as usual, but apart from work this wk's "after work's slots" are also fully booked! (LOL)

So Friday went to Leo's concert - just like its name "eye fever", its visual effect is VERY GOOD, the stage design, lasers / light, concert "composition" are all very creative and one can feel the "heart" of the production crews. (however the 3D is a bit disappointing la! not sure if it's b/c i sat allllllllll the way up on the LAST row?)

Anyway, in general it's an entertaining concert. Leo's live quality is great, the only thing is that if he can sing MORE of HIS OWN songs, and less "爛"gag it'll be more "music" lor :P

oh, a little accident during our concert night:

基仔胳肋底着火

古巨基前晚在紅館舉行「古巨基 EYE FEVER 2009」第二場，他穿上聲控衫與歌迷大合唱 《友共情》一曲時，其右邊腋下突然有白煙冒出，基仔即時大叫：「弊啦，着火呀。」但工作人員以為基仔說笑，基仔便再次求救：「嚟真㗎，有冇工作人員呀。」隨後三位工作人員立即衝上台為基仔處理衫內的零件，據知由於零件過熱導致出煙 。

有驚無險
此時基仔以爛gag 打圓場並說：「做歌手不論遇到乜嘢事都要繼續唱，我冇事，可能返去冲凉會發現胸口會有兩撻地方深色咗。」基仔前晚請來鄧紫棋（G.E.M）擔任嘉賓，二人在台上互問IQ題 。

青山黛瑪 - そばにいるね (feat. SoulJa) MV - 留在我身邊

just a nice song.... and w/ the lyrics so sweet (yet sad!)



(and no, i just like the song, don't think too much~~)

Last night's dinner...

So went to Jordan 大當家粵皇食府 for dinner last night. Food was okay average, the lobster is my favorite (and those pineapple) :) Service was great!

當家醬燒雞


豆鼓粉絲蒸扇貝


乳酸菌鳳梨抄龍蝦 <-- my favorite!! :D

it was justway too much for a dinner for 2 *LOL* so we walked from Jordon back to Mongkok... but it was just too hot to walk around in HK these days @_@ Ending up having icy dessert at 石磨坊 - i had 楊枝甘露 and here's someone's 涼粉芒果冰

yummmy... thanks for the wonderful time - and the tarot cards reading was right - i just have too many 酒肉朋友 around, to have fun hanging out w/.... just that u're also one of them as well... :(

Relaxing Sunday - well, to begin w/....

so woke up "early" and went to brunch / lunch w/ a friend's friend (yeh, just pop up event)... then went to Jusco for some "no presentatives honey" then went to facial...

and have to go home to fix hair as the new short hair is kinda hard to maintain if u know what i mean.... OH well.... now all wash up and ready for the dinner.... hmmmm i don't know what'd happened.... let's see...

Rainbow....

it's not easy to see a rainbow in HK (w/ the fact that i seldom go out! *LOL*) yet reminds me the last rainbow saw (which i remember) wasn't in HK...

When was the last time you saw a rainbow?

Movie Review - He's Just not that into you...

was interested in this movie a long time back - actually i got the book while i went to london a few yrs back but just never finished it.

another 2+ hrs movie, yet i did enjoy it quite a bit. Although it's a bit "random", and probably trying to cover too many stories in 2 hrs. I think it's more a girly movie rather than guys' and it would be more fun if the ppl around laugh along @_@; yet I love (and feel touched!) for some of the stupid / idiot things mentioned

I think everyone (no matter it's girls or guys!) had at least once in their life desperately sit by the phone and chking constantly on her/his voicemail / email (or Myspaced me!) hahaha... and I just love Drew Barrymore (and surprise to know she's one of the Producers from the Credits show at the end!) Chk out one of her interview here for being one of the the film's producers.

it's a light hearted love comedy, just enjoyed the film a lot (and totally agree all girls love those little "date decorder" - which seriously i think guys never meant for!! LOL

some of the interesting quotes:

• We are all programmed to believe that if a guy acts like a total jerk that means he likes you.
  
• I had this guy leave me a voicemail at work, so I called him at home, and then he emailed me to my BlackBerry, and so I texted to his cell, and now you just have to go around checking all these different portals just to get rejected by seven different technologies. It's exhausting.
  
• ...Every movie we see, Every story we're told implores us to wait for it, the third act twist, the unexpected declaration of love, the exception to the rule. But sometimes we're so focused on finding our happy ending we don't learn how to read the signs. How to tell from the ones who want us and the ones who don't, the ones who will stay and the ones who will leave. And maybe a happy ending doesn't include a guy, maybe... it's you, on your own, picking up the pieces and starting over, freeing yourself up for something better in the future. Maybe the happy ending is... just... moving on. Or maybe the happy ending is this, knowing after all the unreturned phone calls, broken-hearts, through the blunders and misread signals, through all the pain and embarrassment you never gave up hope.

yes, he's just not that into you - whenever he's not calling.... move on move on move on PLEASE!!!!
