some pictures and randomness~

it's been quite busy lately these past few weeks so i've been unable to type more blog posts :D however, i finally have a chance to post some pictures from my mom's and bro's bday dinners~

Happy family (selina here too :D)~

it's been pretty busy at work lately, or at least enough work to keep me awake and not nodding off now and then :P i finally forced myself to do some more database inputing as I've been putting it off for several weeks now... i had to keep reminding myself that this inputing only happens once (as the system is JUST implemented and we need to have the data all inputed and complete) and aside from some small updating work, i won't have to input as hardcore as i was for the last few months.

so.. as i was doing this, i found out that the UK and HK people tend to have pretty interesting names... i was having trouble identifying whether they were male or female -__-;; (no offense to anyone with these names XD;;) the UK names are mostly because of unfamiliarity, especially having been raised in toronto... as for the 'interesting' HK names, i think it comes from HK people being people who like interesting/different names.. but i won't comment further on that haha..

here are some interesting names i came across, mostly HK people, which is why it's interesting to me, because it's not a cultural thing or anything:

• Ulla
• Sirling
• Piecco
• Shark
• Tomorrow
• Hippo
• Gaurav
• Talent
• Happy
• Gucci (i'm sure Gucci group is happy...)
  

I'm definite there are a lot more names i came across and missed but these are the ones i remember most~ xD
maybe someone out there finds my english name strange as well haha...

This week has been pretty packed! i was so glad i managed to see Karen for dinner FINALLY. we've been trying to arrange for dinner since early august when she found me on FB but we were both too busy :( i'm so proud of her at her new job tho and reallly hope we have more opportunities to eat together~

so.. brief summary: japanese class on monday night, a lovely lunch with Jon on tuesday (i love lunches with him.. brings back the silly elementary school-ness to things!), mandarin at night, lunch with eddie on wednesday (which was a lot of fun XD but too bad his company is moving to cwb soon D:), dinner with karen on wednesday night, lunch with colleagues thurs, dinner with ray etc. at night, tomorrow i have lunch with irene, dinner with din (hopefully we can finish watching "Tale of Earthsea"....), saturday lunch with kristy (yay! i cant' wait to see you again :D :D), and then afternoon with lg718, sunday with family...

wow. i had trouble typing that up @.@;;
next week i have a bordeaux wine workshop which i'm looking forward to too! my level 1 course doesnt' start till next month but i'm excited.. then there's mid-autumn festival at the end of this month, and then national day at the beginning of october too~
