don's bday :D

Posted by Ling at 1:43 PM 2 comments
late post.. but it was a lot of fun on don's bday dinner ^-^ we went to this really good italian restaurant in jordan and had a lot of fun catching up with 'cockroach' and his gf ~ i think cockroach hasn't been around us in awhile and was glad to have the chance to 'let go' and joke around like we used to... we're all very silly haha...

afterwards, we went to the arcade at tst and had tons of fun... we went nuts over a lot of the games there and i havent' had a chance to do that with don etc in awhile~! i remember when cockroach was single, we'd go to the arcade often and would play games all night haha...

we played till real late and went for dessert after... we went to "tong chiu" (err sorry i can't type chinese on this comp -.-;) and i ordered their yummy 'tofu flower' ... they have the softest most delicious chinese desserts, i swear xD

we then talked for a long time, took a few pics (dondon never likes taking pics -___-) and then we left, walked around a bit then went home... i really regret not being able to go to his bday party last year where he got drunk ~_~;; i missed it! this year he refused to go anywhere where there was alcohal and so we couldn't go to karaoke or any bars ... oh well.. there's always next year xD

current mood: sleepy...

outback~

Posted by Ling at 12:55 PM 2 comments
had a great dinner last nite with my family at outback ^-^ it was more like my 'extended' family, as my sis and mom weren't here and in place of them were my closest family members in hk: my bf, my sister in law's mom (i just _love_ her.. so nice), and someone i call my aunt and uncle and who are the parents of one of my best guy friends (i grew up with him lol..)~ along with my bro and my dad ^-^ it was soo much fun because we ordered a ton of appetizers and could try a bit of everything~ too bad my bro and his wife (i call her 'sis') had to leave early to watch a movie or else we could have had dessert even ; ; but oh well :D we'll eat again togehter soon!

afterwards i went shopping around the cwb area with lg718 and ended up buying some home stuff at the huge hkd10 store ^_^ i LOVEEEEEEEE that shop! it has everything u need to help organize ur home and some random cute stuff ^_^ i got a nice chair for my dolls ^_^ i'll try to take pics with it later :3 right now it's just sitting pretty under my bed next to my doll boxes lol

i love the new super mario brothers game~ they did the smart thing and didn't change the game play or the interface/game view at all.. they left the best elements intact and just made the game better by adding in cute elements to the game and making the characters semi 3D-ish and looking really cute~! they're all so round and adorable lol ^-^ had a lot of fun playing that last nite~

i found out they'll be releasing a bubble bobble revolution soon for psp.. hopefully we can get hold of in hk ~_~ FINALLY they're releasing my favorite game ever on psp ; ; and revamped to be more modern... it's not just the puzzle bobble (aka bust a move) anymore ^_^
i hope everyone gets a ds so we can play games.. i'll definitely buy tetris or something and play with u nic haha..

okay~ gotta get ready to go out and meet up for dondon's bday~~ too bad he refused to go to bar/karaoke type place ~_~ i missed the chance last year to see dondon drunk because i was at my sister's wedding -________-;

current mood(action?): going out~

getting closer...

Posted by Ling at 12:03 AM 2 comments
so excited! raven booked the Coast Long Beach Hotel in LA, which is a bit further from where we need to go for the concert but which looks absolutely beautiful! i'm totally excited at the moment... i can't wait XD~!

as well, the tour goods came and although i haven't brought it home yet i peeked in the package and was very happy to see the hydee gummies in shape and all that xD;; i'm soo tempted to eat them but yet it's HK and i can't just leave them in the package like i would in canada ; ; i was stupid and didn't look through the faith tour book ~_~ but i did look at the shopping bag, tshirt (haven't tried it yet~) gummy and the wristband :D excited!!!

there's about a month left.. i'm soo excited.. i can't believe it's true... i gotta get stuff ready :X

about other things, my brother in law flew to san jose to meet up with my sis.. so i'm glad.. she'll have someone to spend time with her and she'll be able to go to canada (lucky aughhhh)... i hope he likes the BV wallet i helped her buy for him...

today i went to mk and got the super mario bro game for DS ^_^ soo happy but.. i haven't played my ds for atleast a year.. ~_~;; i wonder if i can get it working (omg.. touch wood, i forced lg718 to get that for me ~_~). i wish mario bros were for psp instead of nintendo T__T i prefer to carry ONE console, not two ~_~;;
i was disappointed in the bomberman game.. it appears it's only in that semi 3d look :/ not the 'flat' classic look that is so easy to play and that i've spent crazy hours on.. sigh.. oh well i hope i can look up more info about it so that i can determine if i want to get it with lg718 to play~
will give a review of the mario bros game after i charge my gameboy ^_^ (my bad.. it's totally out of bat and my cell phone, home phone and laptop are all fighting for outlets ~_~ so my ds has no chance of being charged till i sleep and these devices are switched off lol..)

current mood: of course! excited xD

Zhao yun / 趙雲

Posted by Ling at 4:19 PM 0 comments
recently i've been playing a lot more of dynasty warriors on psp xD because of that, i've been interested in learning more about the stories behind the game, and how history depicts or writes about certain characters~ of course i started out with my favorite, 趙雲, who also has quite a bit of interesting information going around about him.

However, there has been some rumours circulating the internet in regards to Zhao Yun's actual identity and his true relationship with Liu Bei; that he was actually female and Liu Bei's lover! read on:


一九九九年三月,中央政府的一支考古隊伍將劉備墓出土,發現了一大批東漢未年的文物。當中最叫人咋舌的,是發現了漢先主劉備的手稿,揭開了二千年來一個不為人知的秘密,三國名將趙雲,竟然是女扮男裝的,而且與劉備有著不只是君臣的關係!

手稿中劉備多次提到與諸葛亮討論趙雲的名份問題。可惜因為內部政策關係,官方只公開了部分的手稿內容,且不多提到關鍵內容。可是有學者就本身三國廣為人知的故事作出分析,提出多點指出本身趙雲的性別也是有跡可尋的,且看以下分析。

-----------------------------------------
一、趙雲廿十歲出頭便跟著劉備,從界橋到長阪坡的時候十八年,後來還跟著劉備、諸葛亮幾次出訪東吳,但照樣年輕貌美,面孔白晰,不象別的那些男人,鬍子拉碴的。

二、長阪坡一戰,劉備自己也把妻兒老小都丟了,自個兒逃命。反倒是趙雲,單槍匹馬七進七出,把小阿斗 救了出來,這不是女人的母性是甚麼?而且惡戰當中,小阿斗不但不哭,反而睡得香甜,試問哪個大男人有這樣的本事?

三、趙雲救出了小阿斗,回到劉備陣地。劉備居然說出“小娃兒險折吾大將!”的說話,再扔低自己的孩子強調趙雲的重要性。這分明是劉備無法用言語表達趙雲對自己所奉獻的感激,只好扔阿斗表示趙雲的在他心目中的重要性。

四、趙雲本身跟從公孫瓚,在北海救孔融一役中與劉備懈逅,根據陳壽三國志的說法,劉備與趙雲臨別時“執雲之手依依不捨”。男人見到男人,頂多是識英雄重英雄,互相尊重,何來依依不捨?可見趙雲是一個清麗脫俗的美女。

五、趙雲不願意結婚,趙範要把守寡的嫂子介紹給趙雲。按照常理,趙雲不願意也就算了,但他竟然和和趙範翻臉,逼得趙範再次反對劉備。一個男人為甚麼會對娶一個女子那麼厭惡?這一點也是十分可疑的。

六、趙雲是女扮男裝,劉備、諸葛亮肯定是知道的,所以劉備安排趙雲保護家小,換了別人,關羽憋得紅著臉,既不忍心也不放心,張飛又是粗人,不夠細心,別的人就更信不過了。

七、趙雲本領高強,對劉備這麼忠心耿耿,劉備、諸葛亮卻一直不肯重用趙雲,極少給予趙雲獨領三軍的機會。趙雲從未試過當一城太守,每次也只是跟隨劉備當私人保鑣。如果說門第之見,那關、張不也是出身低微?如果說是不信任,那也不會把一家老小的性命托付給趙雲;如果說不知道他的膽略,劉備自己不也說過“子龍一身都是膽”。一個一身都是膽的武將為其麼會不被重用?原因很簡單,就是劉備不太願意自己的女人冒太多的險。

八、曹操在長阪坡為甚麼下令不准放箭,只要活捉趙雲?如果說愛惜人才,文的如審配、
陳宮,武的有文醜,還有活捉的呂布,他都照殺可也,毫不在乎,為甚麼這麼在乎趙雲?只要想想曹操是個花心的老色鬼,就該知道答案了。曹操怎么會知道這個秘密呢?最大的可能該是徐庶告訴他的。

九、劉備在策封五虎將時,關羽曾大發雷霆,表示不與黃忠等老將為伍。可是關羽在效力曹操時曾謙虛地說自己不如張飛勇猛,試問一個如此謙虛的人為甚麼會為與老將為伍發怒?可見事實的真相是關羽根本不是為與老將為伍發怒,而是為與女子為伍而發怒。

十、正因為趙雲是女扮男裝,又長期跟隨劉備,所以和劉備的幾個夫人也有恩恩怨怨。麋夫人跳井自殺,只是趙雲一面之詞,死無對證,難保這不是爭風吃醋,趁亂加害的一起謀殺。

十一、趙雲和劉備的特殊關係,使他敢做別人不敢做的事。跨江截阿斗,趙雲作為一個武將,卻能管劉備的家事,還能對孫夫人拔劍相向,差一點把孫夫人逼得跳江,連張飛這個結義的大老粗都覺得過分了,趙雲卻做得出,這完全由趙雲在劉家的特殊地位所決定的。

十二、劉備去東吳娶親,帶著趙雲去,諸葛亮給趙雲三個錦囊,過去的密信有蠟丸,或者象曹操那樣送個盒子,偏偏諸葛亮給趙雲的卻是女人用的錦囊,本來送給別人女人的東西會惹得別人不高興的,諸葛亮也知道這一點,所以他在五丈原把女人的衣服送給司馬懿,目的是為了激怒他。可他送趙雲錦囊,一個送得,一個收得,用心良苦,可見一斑。

十三、趙雲之死,是給趙夫人用針紮死的,趙夫人為甚麼跟趙雲有深仇大恨?分析起來,一定是趙雲為了掩人耳目,假意娶了親,還領養了兩個孩子,但趙夫人肯定是知道真相的,想到一輩子就給騙了,能不生氣嗎?所以說,趙雲其實和聖女貞德一樣,是個在亂世年頭,敢於在男權社會中,以自己本領和膽量展示自己才華的獨特女性。只是在那個封建社會裏,她們只能喬裝改扮,扮演了一個扭曲的男性形象以逃避社會的排斥。聖女貞德阻止了英國人的南侵,歷史性地拯救了整個法蘭西。趙雲雖然沒有聖女貞德般的影響力,可是兩千年過去了,她依然以特殊的魅力活在世人心裏。

after reading the above points.. what do you think? to me, IF the points were correct, i think only one idea stands out... he was probably gay. yes yes u may laugh but it all fits doesnt' it? why Guan Yu was so against being in same team as him, why he was so close to Liu Bei etc. Because they knew there was something 'different' about him and as that kind of thing definitely wasn't accepted at that time, it makes a lot of sense. The last point, about Zhao Yun's death... how he really died is not really known as history only claims he died by needle ... being a female, the easiest thing to sense is whether someone is male or female.. and i really doubt that someone who's female wouldn't know she married a female as well.. -__-;
but..as i think because history was pieced together by historians of the past, what really went on, no one knows; it is mostly speculation.. so the above should only be for fun reading and nothing else xD

din and da vinci code :D

Posted by Ling at 1:28 AM 2 comments
well weekend has been fun so far~ yesterday i went out with lg718 and dondon to eat dinner at a really good japanese restaurant in causeway bay.. afterwards we decided to go to play arcade games since dondon said there are no limits to skating hours mon-thurs but there are limits on the weekend :D it was sooo much fun.. lol we played all these new games with one of my favorites being this one where u play against someone using a lever.. and u basically push the lever left and right to 'push' the other player and compete with them... it's SOOO much fun xD i think i hurt my arm when dondon pushed it so hard i nearly fell -.-; anyway~ we went for desserts afterwards and had yummy sundaes~ then it was so late when we left and we went home~ i managed to buy a nice black jacket from ozoc in sogo too -__-;;

then today i met up with lg718 and ate a late lunch then went to watch the da vinci code! i think.. it was nice seeing the actual views of paris, london, the different churches and museums but... the problem is that i think they reallllly toned the book down a lot.. a lot, a lot.. it was really a lot less exciting than the book, which i couldnt' put down. either way, i hope people who haven't read the book enjoy the movie!
afterwards it turns out that my stuff from korea arrived~ the clothing set, eyes and free wig fron luts! they gave me a wig for a female delf so i was prety content.. it was waay to big for my kaya to wear (i brought her to lg718's house) but i'll save it for my future lishe ^-^ looks like a good layla type wig :D

we ordered pizza for dinner as we were lazy to cook and it was raining outside and then watched the next ep of "project runway 2" one of our favorite reality shows~ it's about fashion designers who go thru a clothing challenge etc etc. its soooo good because u get to see how hard it is in the fashion world and also how talented ppl are ~ my favorite is dan, a recent fashion school graduate and also my age :O then i took a longgg nap.. lol from 9:30 till 12.. -.-;; i must be tired...

here are some random pics of the lovely blue skies from friday~~ evidence hk has beautiful skies :heart:



current mood: tired...

random pics of mini blythes...

Posted by Ling at 10:00 PM 1 comments
i went home early today and had time to open another baby blythe :D they've been sitting on my table in my room for such a long time and are increasing in number slowly... whenever i come home, i'm either too busy playing with my dolls, going online, or playing with some other toy that i dont' have time to open them all at once.. so it's opening one every couple of days.. -___- sigh...

anyway here's another mini blythe, tatianna black! it's so cute becaise she carries a pink bunny 'bag', similar to the ones tha were carried around by ppl a lot awhile back... i like this one a lot and is one of my more expensive blythes ^-^ sorry for the crap pics ; ;




today's weather was sooo gorgeous!!!! :heart: if hk stayed like this i wouldnt' mind staying here forever.. the sky was so so so blue (yes we have blue skies lol), with white clouds, a light wind and soooo comfortably warm.. sigh too bad it ended so fast D:

i took my HKID smart card today haha.. it was funny cuz the process was so fast and there weren't a lot of ppl so there were a lot of ppl directing us around so it was even quicker~ i requested my pic be taken three times haha.. it was good i got a female helping me because she told me where my hair was messed up and all that .. it was really funny~ i hope it turns out ok.. -.-;;
afterwards lg718 and i went to get the bv wallet for my brother in law and shopped a bit around LCX harbourcity.. lg718 finally got a clock to hang off the wall in his living room :D i got two black tanktop thingies.. D: they're so nice but i'm still short of finding the one piece longish dress that i want ~_~ i'm thinking if i really should just get lg718 to help me get someone to add more cloth to one of the tanktops i got today to make it into a skirt.. the only thing that's "in" for hk ppl now is longish tanktops that aren't long enough to be a skirt! so annoying...

anyway booked tickets to watch da vinci code on saturday with lg718 since we were too busy to go see it today... after all the controversy about the book and movie.. i hope ppl will watch it and realize it's just.. fiction -__-;;; tomorrow will go skating with don etc ^-^
can't wait :D weekend~~~

current mood: happy ^-^

silly games of the day~

Posted by Ling at 12:07 PM 2 comments
here are some pretty cute/silly/fun games to entertain those who are bored at work, bored at home, or who are just curious xD i'll add more later~ (thx to lg718 who supplies me with this stuff when i'm at work...)

cute boardgame based on a manga:
http://annex.s-manga.net/manga-online/aniyoko/index18.html (click on the button in the bottom right corner to start)

samurai 'training' type game:
http://www.broadstar.jp/showcase/select.php?content_id=G01449 very entertaining... haha use ur mouse like a sword and 'slash' the monsters etc.

i read one of the silliest articles in the newspaper today... a 10 year old kid, in a fit of rage, because he wasnt' allowed to use the computer to play his online games, used a knife and slashed his mom! she had a 3 inch long cut that was so deep the doctors advised her to stay the night at the hospital! it all started because his sister had to use the comp to do her hwk, and with the computer in her room, she locked the door to keep him out and he got angry at that.. :/ so sad to hear that kids .. KIDS will actually attack their moms becuase they can't play wow/ro/ffxi/cs etc ~_~;; wtf is going on... i've been playing video games all my life, watching scary horror movies with blood, gore and violence since i was like 5... and i've never wanted to CUT my mom because they yelled at me for staying up till 8-9am to play wow/ffxi... and this kid is 10+ years younger than me...
what is the world coming to...

current mood:

ps: yay drinking tea at lunchtime with coworkers ^-^ T3 signal right now but it's ... not even raining.. -__-
this joke really made my day.. reminds me of the 'happy face' corn i found with lg718:

"兩個相愛的玉米粒決定結婚,可是婚禮時找不到新娘了,新郎問一直跟在身邊的一個爆米花,爆米花害羞地說:討厭,人家穿的是婚紗!"
(courtesy of lg718 ^-^)

T1 signal hoisted :D (and talking to... king.. haha)

Posted by Ling at 12:24 AM 4 comments
the weather is soo cool now with the tropical storm nearing.. i know i should be all ":D" about it but i love the cooler weather where humidity does not exist ^-^ but where's the storm o.O it looks too.. 'quiet' for some reason...
haven't been reading doll forums lately or doing anything i normally do... HK has suddenly turned boring for awhile.. maybe May has always been boring...? i'm looking forward to the next few months a lot, where i can actually have stuff to look forward to xD

well as if to make me less bored.. i log onto msn and see.. KING! so i'm talking to king on msn.. and according to him i'm 'well-distributed' -___-;;;;;;;
and also:

King - says:
hahha..you are..haha....everything looks..you know, proportional...height, width, bust size...

i lol'ed irl (i'm at work...) and realize we really do talk about everything~! (see king? i didnt' omit a single word.. direct copy and paste!!!) king has always been my university "buddy", saving me with his wonderfully clear (yet.. 'doctor' messy handwriting...) notes and answering questions I may have during tests... ^_^;;; i think i need to be hired as his assistant because i'm one of the few ppl who can actually read his handwriting!!!! D: aside from all that, he really helped me a LOT and was always there to drive me to taco bell on my command.... those were the days.. definitely one of my best guy friends :P
but i think it's because we've talked about nearly everything that the above sentence makes me want to laugh... i hope he'll stop being confused about bra sizes, girls, and all that soon... he's such a girl sometimes when it comes to being curious about things like that but i think that's what makes him popular with the girls haha

we're so blunt and i'm too silly XD

anyway it's hilarious talking to him today because we haven't talked for a LONG time but yet it feels as if i've never left toronto... i hope he does well on exams lol..

current mood: feeling slightly devious and content...XD

PS: we KNOW it's you king if there's a comment by 'anonymous'!!!

inc. tropical storm.. D: (and doll rant...)

Posted by Ling at 1:07 AM 6 comments
well the lovely weekend is over already.. hope everyone had a wonderful mother's day with their family and a great dinner/lunch etc whatever u did :D for ppl like me who's living alone/parents in other countries etc, hope u had a great day anyway!

weather was absolutely beautiful in hk today.. i closed my eyes and could feel the breeze, sunshine, hear the trees 'singing' as the leaves were moving and can totally imagine myself back in toronto again, with the beautiful summer weather... (sigh... homesick.. ; ;) but then.. i found out this sudden cooler breezier weather had a lot to do with an incoming tropical storm! it hit the phillipines earlier this weekend and i heard 37 ppl were injured and like many more missing :/ that's really scary.. i know it's never that strong when tropical storms hit hk, but i'm definitely not looking forward to the rainy week .. rain+ hard winds = terrible because they always choose to take down the black rain signal JUST before work hours so that I can't skip work!!

anyway.. went random shopping with lg718 today and got a fan for his flat.. finally! we don't have to open a/c 24/7 anymore~~ and i also found a store that was selling mini blythes at 30% off and with an additional 10% off if you purchase more than one! XD they even had the clover/mushroom one i wanted (soo adorable ; ;) and i got it for a much cheaper price than other places ~~ :heart: i also got this sailor one for a discount price as well.. so i'm very content ^_^
got a gift for cylyna's growing bday gift 'collection' and also a tiny gift for dondon's upcoming bday gift... need to find a certain figurine for him in mk to finish off the present tho...

Here is a pic of the blythe (minis) that i haven't opened yet:



my room is so so so messy now because i've been slacking off and not tidying wheni should be.. i think i'm getting waaay too many toys as well ~_~ damn.. i need to do something about it all.... half the stuff are gifts and stuffed animals and toys.. ~_~:;;;

anyway to answer people's comments towards the dolls/toys/blythes (MINI ONES XO!!!):

1. no they do not scare me
2. no their eyes arent' real so they aren't really staring at me
3. no they do not come alive in the middle of the night and try to kill me
4. no their hair does not grow longer each day
5. no they do not blink their eyes (well... if u consider the blythes....)
6. no i will not give them weapons and tell them ur address so that they'll come find u (unless u keep bugging me and telling me my dolls are freaking u out..)
7. all this stupid nonsense about chucky, chucky's bride, BARBIES .. NO THEY ARE NOT IN ANY WAY RELATED TO ANY OF THE THREE!!!!!
8. yes i spend a lot of money on them but NO that does not mean i'm rich...
9. no i do not think that spending money on dolls is stupid.. especially considering i've spent it on stupider stuff (ie. online games with characters that i used a lot of time, energy, emotion, money on) and dolls are like any other hobby.. it isn't wasting money to contribute another item to something u collect...

ok that should be it for the comments.. thanks to everyone for the NICE comments that you gave.. and i still love everyone who dislikes my dolls :P just dont' think that by saying u hate them will make me stop buying/posting their pics xD

current mood: sleepy and headache-y...

cockroaches as jewllery.. D:

Posted by Ling at 3:40 PM 8 comments
well i was randomly browsing Den of Demons, and as usual I was lurking (as being at work really makes it hard for me to actually post messages on any forum ; ; msn however....) and as usual, things were going off topic... i was actually O.O at one point because someone mentioned that live cockroaches used as jewllery were now being the fad after appearing on some reality show (i think it was america's next top model?) and according to this site, it's all for real.

apparently the designer Jared Gold decided to put Swarovski crystals on LIVE ROACHES and glue pins and a chain so that u can wear them and they can crawl around u D: the thought alone freaks me out... cockroaches are so freaky ; ; the ones in hk can fly (sorta) and make this really freaky scuttling noise when they run around.. ewwwwww >< the thought of wearing one makes me wnat to faint.. people these days... D: 80USD and can be shipped overnight...

current mood: semi-disgusted by the roaches..

ps: however i'm very happy today because i managed to find wildie ^-^ and chatted with him most of the time.. however i'm still in a 'sigh...' type mood because i actually didn't receive a package he sent out to me three months ago.. i think i'm going to cry... T______T but i'm thankful i caught up with wildie and aly ^-^

i'm an ESFP (from ara hon<3)~

Posted by Ling at 3:21 PM 3 comments
i was reading ara's blog and came across this test:

http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp

in a few questions, they 'sort' people out according to the different category/type they may be and you get a whole profile of what you may be like ^_^ Here is the profile of an ESFP~ it's kind of funny because a lot of my friends may agree... like it says in the profile, i DO tend to "jump from thought to thought in mid-sentence, touching here or there in a manner that's almost incoherent to the listener".. aka i'm not very good at explaining/telling stories because i tend to go off on an entirely different angle about other things that have nothing to do with the story xD;;

and also how i'm "[ESFP's] attracted to new ideas, new fashions, new gadgets, new ______. " that's sooo true ~_~ i find myself pursuing the newest in everything ; ; because it interests me a lot~

according to this profile, ara, an ESFJ, and i complement each other ^-^ i like that.. lol

anyway for those who are reading this.. do the test! see what you get and come back here to tell me :3

current mood: feeling devious and procrastinate-y xD

MI III xD

Posted by Ling at 5:12 PM 2 comments
watched MI3 over the weekend...(or MI '棟棟棟' as we call it after don overheard smeone in the mtr referring to MI3/MI III as that.. lol) i didnt' have too much expectations for it as the last part wasn't that great.. but it was a nice surprise to see that it was a lot better than i thought it would be, and i found myself actually going "OH NOES D:" at one point outloud xD other than spilling butter over my silk tanktop (wtf.. the box leaked the yummy butter out after i poured a lot in D:) and also nearly catching a cold etc cuz of the cold theatre, it was a lot of fun~

i had peach tea all day xD and also had lots of chicken wings etc for 'dinner' and snack before movie as i watched the dinner time show -___-;

anyway.. today i woke up not feeling like going to pilates class.. but i've gotten over that and decided to go anyway xD sigh i feel like i'm skipping class if i dont' go... i knew i was never meant for learning -___-; maybe that's why i'm not getting anywhere xD

so much i want to do in the summer! play more piano, get my guitar back, go see hyde, write letters, send presents, meet up with friends, lg718's family coming back (yay!), potential trip to japan sometime with sis etc., and basically trying to enjoy myself even tho it'll be super super hot the whole time xD;; and i wanna watch da vinci code movie and xmen 3~ and read dan brown's next book whenever it comes out... and finish some manga i have stacked up next to my bed -.-;; and watch the 85839485 eps of anime i've dl but haven't watched yet...

pics from our lovely trip to the movie theatre at langham place~ don wouldn't take pics with us ; ;


and poor totoro has been attacked by the gift for ah gor lol.. dondon assumed that totoro was a garbage can... -.-;;


**
just came back from pilates class.. it was really relaxing but i was so tired and kept screwing up.. bleh.. ~_~; oh well.. i'm being a good girl again and washing a SECOND load of clothing! at this rate, i can wash a third load tomorrow and be done with washing clothing cuz our cleaning person is back.. ya T__T

current mood: indifferent and normal @.@

yet another weekend ....

Posted by Ling at 12:23 AM 6 comments
weekend has already passed! i know, i say that every weekend but what i mean is... i dont' have any more 'red' (public) holidays till the end of the month.. and after that one.. NO MORE TILL SEPTEMBER (i think..?)... that's the scary part ; ; after a few months of random long weekends, i've gotten used to it and wish it could stay that way... oh well...

today i woke up early to drink tea with my bro and sis in law.. as usual my dad 'fly us airplane' and went to play golf instead of meeting his CHILDREN ... so much for the 'family day' he claims he likes to have -.-; we've been replaced by golf! D: oh noes...

anyway, i had great lunch with them anyway... after learning my dad was shipping THREE isqueeze (i want ; ;) and a osim uzap to canada via osim somehow.. i kind of gave up the idea of getting my own isqueeze for awhile... we have all the other equipment.. full massage chair, back massage, the Joba horse saddle thing, an oto and osim slimming belt... we just lacked a feet massager... but somehow my dad getting three is making me reconsider it for awhile -___-;;

i went to tst harbourcity with lg718 after and... i knew it was a mistake to go there, especially after lg718 said he needed clothes and wanted to go on shopping trip ~_~ we NEVER LEAVE LCK/HARBOURCITY EMPTYHANDED!!!
our first stop was bad too.. :( bottega veneta.... lets not mention what went on inside.. but afterwards, we bled more inside the many shops of lcx.. i kinda nearly died at i.t. and lv afterwards -____________-; needless to say... i'm leaving my cards at home this month and not gonna get anything for myself.. only for mother's day and father's day!

i wonder what people are getting their mom's this year? :D i got her a luggage/purse tag at lv and signed a nice card with my bro and sis in law.. for my dad i most likely will get him some golfing related item...

ps: looking forward to 'seeing' hyde and also raven :heart:

current mood: guilty :x

humidity and springtime

Posted by Ling at 1:14 AM 3 comments
bleh it's very very hot these past couple of days... it's as if summer is already here but the most frightening part is that... it's NOT /cry... it's only may, the month that canada would be calling 'spring' and where the trees were blossoming and u could wear less clothes and a light jacket a nightime and it'd be fine... NOT IN HONG KONG. ; ; to my dismay, after the short but lovely cold/perfect winter in hk, i'm back to feeling the humid, stinky, stuffy, gross wet air of hong kong early summer again.. i've realized the reason i was born in january -___-;;
gosh.. D: how can i get past this coming summer without going crazy.. i miss toronto so much...

anyway.. ~_~

second day of the long weekend... just came back from going out all day and hanging out at lg718's house... last nite's family dinner was (as expected) fairly boring, but some interesting points to make was that i met a LOT of relatives that i've never met (or have met but when i was liek 2 or something) and that i expected were er.. not 'here' anymore xD;; anyhow, the most common saying of the evening they had to me was "oh my... i carried u around when u were young" and "u were just this tiny baby.." etc etc.. lol it was kind of amusing when i met a playmate of my bro and sis's (i've never seen her in the past 20 years) and she actually said "omg.. i fed u.. i even rubbed ur mom's stomach before u were born!!" which is pretty touching somehow ^_^

but back to today.. i watched the rest of narnia with lg718 and find that it wasnt' as bad as ppl said it was.. i'm not even sure why ppl are comparing a children's story to Lord of the Rings, but i think if u have too high expectations of movies, u're definitely going to be disappointed.. to me it was a nice 'live' version of what i expected one of my favorite books as a kid to be like.. very enjoyable~

also watched the rest of the 'awake' concert dvd of laruku's.. i love hyde... damn ~_~ i miss seeing his live singing.. true his singing is not as great as some other singers but i love him just the same.. he absolutely shines of charisma.. not sure how to explain it but he brings the whole audience's attention to him so easily...
must.. buy.. dvd.. versions.... of.. old.. laruku.. videos ... as expected, not many ppl have VCRs anymore -.-;

MI3 came out in hk faster than in toronto :O but i'll watch it on monday with dondon and lg718 because i'm definitely in NO rush to see tom cruise.. but as for da vinci code.. yes i'll definitely watch the night of xD

pic of miffy street walking light thingie:



i wanna go see this for real soo much xD

current mood: content~

i love apples ^_^ <-- totally out of the blue

today i had a great lunch with my coworker in soho.. ate at our favorite place there, pacific grill, and managed to have enough time to eat the yummmmmy brownie icecream dessert as well :heart:
afterwards, i met up with dondon and lg718 at causeway bay for dinner! we were about to go eat at this sushi place but then the lineup took forever (we were 102, and it was at 42 when we arrived...) and so we went to eat at this other japanese place at the top of times square. it was such a yummy dinner ... i really miss the juicy salmon in toronto tho >< i must go to those all u can eat again the moment i fly back xD anyway afterwards we went down to hagen daaz (my favorite xD;;) and ate dessert! soo much fun.. i had a choco-chip icecream.. absolutely delicious~~ we just went nuts there and kept talking and laughing.. i haven't seen dondon in awhile so had a lot of fun... gonna see MI3 with him and lg718 on monday ^-^ can't wait~

current mood: satisfied (with favorite icecream :heart:)

tests tests tests

Posted by Ling at 2:21 PM 3 comments
hmm kind of a slow day (middle of the week i guess? winding down to the long weekend x3) today so i spent some time looking for some blog tests to put in my blog ^-^ there were a lot of silly ones (like "how evil are u"... >.>; i lost the url, i swear.. or er yeah i would have posted my results.. xD;;) but i found some fun ones that i wanted to post ~ enjoy~

1. What's Your Flavor?


Take this test at Tickle

Ling, your flavor is Sweet

Kind and charming, you're a sweetie with a heart of gold. Like a hot cup of tea on a cold day, you're a warm and caring soul who makes people feel better. A great friend, you're always thinking of others and doing what you can to make the world a better place.Whether it's bringing a get-well card to a sick friend, helping a neighbor move, or lifting someone's spirits with your sunny smile, you're happy to do what you can to make someone else's day brighter. So keep sharing your warmth. It's always welcome!

*i seriously don't think i'm that kind/caring/sweet... i only remembered i answered several times on the test that i like sweet foods XO!*


2. kind of girlfriend are you?

Ling, you're a Laidback Lover

Carefree and easy-going — that's your approach to love and life. Above all, you respect your boyfriend's beliefs, choices, and ideals, making you a trustworthy and supportive force in his decisions. Caring and thoughtful when it comes to your actions, you expect the same in return. Even if you spend every waking moment together, you want to feel like you have freedom and room to breathe. For you, it's important that you maintain your individuality so that you can continue to bring something unique to the relationship. After all, you gotta be you.

* @.@;; well i just know i like freedom and i know that people can't be together unless they learn to respect each other and compromise... it makes sense tho.. anyone who tries to tie me down makes me want to run away xD*

and oops.. i actually forgot to include the url for the colour test from my previous entry (thanks raven).. for those who want to do it..:

http://web.tickle.com/rd/50650/color/index.jsp?testname=colorogt&resultid=E

go there for the colour test!

okay i didnt' have time at work to do any more tests .. but i'll post more tomorrow ^-^

i feel old :<

Posted by Ling at 4:07 PM 1 comments
well i was browsing through random friendster pages, looking for a friend and i see how all the people i know are all interconnected somehow.. the interesting thing is, my highschool friends know my other highschool friends and my university friends know my other university friends (highschool/university meaning the period i met them in.. not necessarily actually in school xP)..

i suddenly feel super old ; ; not as in age but as in i feel as if time has passed by soo fast and ppl are suddenly all over the world... vancouver (mandy i miss ur emails.. ara i miss playing wow with u..), toronto (all those in toronto...), the states (i literally lost one of my best friends in the states.. i haven't been able to find him in nearly two years ; ;), australia (yuu...) and even in HK... i bet there are ppl i know in HK that i pass by but yet i miss because i'm blind or something ~_~;;
I miss my university days... they were so carefree, stressful yet fun! and everyone was together... it was much more fun than highschool... and now my highschool friends are getting married... people are moving in together... time passes by so so so fast....

*****

okay i wrote that at work and forgot what i was gonna write next.. hehe xP right now i'm at home, just after pilates class... it was a great class today but it started raining really hard halfway and the thunderstorm made the lights flicker on and off.. >.>;; creepy.... then after i had to walk out to the mtr station which was a mile away T____T the roads were literally flooded and by the time i got into the station, my pants were so heavy (yay for nike dri fit, super absorbent material.. ~_~;;) with water i could keep on wringing out water... getting splashed by a car along the way doens't help either.. -.-; then i thought i was smart by taking a taxi inside fesitval walk instead of going to take the light bus at shek kip mei.. except.. that's what EVERYONE was doing.. waited 15 minutes for a taxi in a stuffy hot parking lot thing.... then when i got home, i nearly forgot my gym bag in the taxi.. -___-; then got splashed by more water....

i was so happy to get out of those soggy pants i just peeled them off and tossed them onto a chair to dry.. ewww i hate rain T_____T thank goodness for a warm shower and a nice a/c living room to relax in...

it's currently a red rain signal thing.. sigh...

okay enough of my rant about rain.... i hope tomorrow is a nice day.. meeting my bro up for lunch at triple O (yay! love those burgers :D~~~~) so really lookign forward to that.. after he moves his place of work he and i can't lunch anymore :< /cry

current mood: sigh...

mini blog tests~

Posted by Ling at 9:03 PM 2 comments
You Are Sunrise

You enjoy living a slow, fulfilling life. You enjoy living every moment, no matter how ordinary.
You are a person of reflection and meditation. You start and end every day by looking inward.
Caring and giving, you enjoy making people happy. You're often cooking for friends or buying them gifts.
All in all, you know how to love life for what it is - not for how it should be.


thanks raven~~ ^-^ hmm i think this is accurate except i dont' cook well ; ; i like baking but that's it xD

another test.. about colours:

*****
Orange
You're a bold, confident orange. A warm, powerful color that indicates a strong, welcoming personality, orange is the mark of people who are social and extroverted by nature. Vibrant, with an upbeat attitude, you have a bright, inviting demeanor. Energetic and fun-loving, you're a real friend-magnet. Your easy charm and unassuming manner make you the sort of person people want to meet and get to know better. Well-rounded and fun to be around, you enjoy helping others, so it's no surprise that orange also symbolizes attraction. Orange is an extraordinary color — for an extraordinary person.

*****
am i really @.@;;;; i don't think i'm that charming/vibrant... i just know i talk too much.. xD;;

first long weekend...

Posted by Ling at 6:26 PM 1 comments
well the first long weekend is over... today i woke up really early and drank tea with my family then went home afterwards and started on.. chores xD;; as i was out all weekend and came home late, i never had a chance to do the simple things that i normally need to do... as the cleaning lady is away on vacation till next next sunday, i used the whole afternoon washing clothes (lol i finally figured out how to use the washing machine at my sis' house >< everything is so differnet from canadian washing machines, and also the detergent is different too -.-;;) and also vaccuming the living room and kitchen and my room. i didnt' bother doing my dad's room or my brother in law's room because i was pretty tired after doing the other areas xD;; but.. pretty proud of myself for spending the afternoon doing chores instead of lazing around watching anime, catching up on manga, opening my mini blythes (i still haven't done that lol..) or taking pics of kaya and mikael x3

yesterday i went with lg718 to the japanese salon we tried out last time and he got his hair cut (for our HKID photos xD the new one)... as i was waiting around for around 2 hrs (he was cutting and dying his hair.. considering how long it usually takes and also time for the massage during and after his hair was done.. that was quick xD) i managed to read several japanese magazines during the waittime.. lol it's like i used two hours instead of spending a few hundred dollars...
anyway one article in the latest copy of non-no fashion magazine was featuring Miffy! it was introducing the miffy museum in holland and about how miffy is really popular and famous in that area... Dick Bruna, the creator, is actually already 79 this year.. imagine! there's a street in holland where they even have miffy streetlights!! hmm what i mean is, u know the crossing light that is red or green but either with a human, in hong kong, or a hand, in canada? it was a miffy shape that replaced that XD soooo cute~~~ and miffy stamps nd tons and tons of miffy merchandise.. i wanna go /cry ~~

that's it for my weekend so far :D relaxing at home is wonderful.. looking forward to the next long weekend coming up this week ^-^ so strange to have two long weekends in one week but not connected -___-;

so much coming up ^-^ can't wait~

btw anyone who hasn't seen this link yet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVvsjty7FPw pretty cool clip of a black person singing a chinese song! :D chinese is hard to pronounce and for someone who doesn't officially know the language, wow xD
