Things You Should Know About Me (part II)

I know~ This is a very random topic. But while doing it, in some ways, I get to know meself better...

- Hate precipitation days (rainy and snowy)
- People know me as DramaQueen (not the traditional definition you're thinking)...the name came in because I like to watch movies and dramas (generally the selection is done according to the casting, not the plot)
- Physical appearance counts enormously (I know I know...it's a serious problem of mine)
- When I first meet someone, the first things I analyse are the eyes and hair
- My hair and teeth are the most important things on me...which I sherish the most. Don't you dare and try to mess my hair...unless you want to watch my fist on a close up plan. Have to pay a visit to my dentist soon, to get a pearl white laser bleach + try not to eat too much chocolate and drink too much coffee (it'll stain my darlings)
- Extreme perfectionist and dirtyfreak
- Insanely in love with food made with flour (sandwiches 'but have to be without tomatoes because I hate it when it leaks and make my bread all sloppy', pizzas, buns, pastas, dumplings - Siiigh!!! I'm such a cheap date)
- Shopaholic (at least I'm faithful to my brands - Burberry being my favorite)

- Allergic to alcohol
- Never been clubbing in my entire life, because I hate dancing (I know I'd look like a chimp) and I don't drink...so what's the point? I literally/120% prefer singing. A de más, I hate over-crowded places where you can't even hear what the other person's trying to tell you.
- Will want to have 2 dogs (Boston Terrier and Chihuahua) - Hero (英雄救美) and Beast (美女與野獸)
- Believe black is the colour for class and mystery (black dominates my closet)
- Love diamonds for its eternity signification, toughness, and brilliance
- Into futuristic style/design
- Would love to learn how to play electronic violin
- Family comes before anything else...my mother is the most precious, but can't always get along with father...Hmmm
- All time favorite classic animated Disney movie - The Lion King.
- Like to cook, but can't stand the 油煙味...don't want my clothes to stink and me become a 黃面婆
- Utterly hate fake/copy stuffs...affects my pride
- It annoys me to know that someone's mad at me
- Collections (3): watches, eyewears, and cellular phones
- Favorite style of clothing - duffle coat + boots
- Suffer serious short-term memory disorder

- Hate to receive perishable gifts = food
- Favorite building on this planet - the Empire State and Chrysler building (Americans do have good architectures)
- Hate to be embarrassed/humiliated in public
- My lucky number is 4. It also represents my Sailor Moon character from high school - Jupiter (♃)...although my favorite character had always been Mars and my real astrology planet being Venus

- My favorite letter in the alphabet is X...no matter in which way you look at it, it'll still be an X + it represents mystery and unknown factors + in Roman numerals it stands for 10 (十全十美)
- Hate people who drag their feet when they walk. C'mon, are you that muscleless???
- Hate people who don't cover their mouth when they yawn...dude I don't want to see your blackwhole
- 3 things I hate when going to a cinema/theater: people speaking non-stop to each other, people playing with their phone and people kicking on the back of my seat.


Please!!! Don't judge.

Messy Little Raindrops - The Flood


I really do NEED (yes, need as an essential element and not just want) her new album. Can't wait to see her in the American version of The X-Factor, which btw just break the record of 19.4 million viewers for the season finale. Please!!! Come before I rot.

A Place to Avoid

Note 1: This is not an exageration...it is the holy truth and nothing more than the honest truth.

Note 2: Never thought it would actually happen in real life (not in a movie)...certainly not to me.
------------------------------
This afternoon, I went to Pang Pang karaoke with a friend. Once we were done by 2000, as a ritual, we were trying to think of somewhere to have supper...but this popsicle-freezing temperature left us no other choice than go to the McDonald's (which I swear to boycott from now on) in the corner of Ste-Catherine and Mackay.

Everything was absolutely fine (except the smell of the place) until I started to undress my chicken nuggets. The moment I opened the box, a young man (as an educated young lady, I shall not unveil his nationality) came near our table...sat beside me...and asked if he could take a nugget. I firmly said no, but he took one anyway. A friend of his came to do the same. And another one followed as well. *magical sparks* Half of my supper just disappeared in a blink of my eyes.

No no. That's not the end of the story yet. Continue the reading...

3 or 4 other young men approached our table and started to plunge their never-washed-dumpster-dirty fingers in our fries and took my friend's uneaten burger. Out of rage, I looked into his eyes, gave him my whole tray and told him that he can have.it.all. (now that his fingers and saliva are all over my chickens and fries) and better buy us a new trio before my friend calls the police.

At the same moment, one of the employees noticed and threw all those society-living-garbages out of the place. She also gave us a new trio and told us not to be afraid if it happens again...and throw our beverage to their face. *moment of silence* Wait a second. As a civilized person, I am not going to throw anything at anybody. Moreover, what if he jumps on me with all that liquid on him??? Is it worth it to dirty my duffle coat because of that? Or, what if he slaps me in the face in public? Is it worth it to sacrifice my face for that???

The most unbelievable thing of all during this hard-to-forget incident...the Asian man who sat beside us took his tray and sneaked away instead of helping us. Can we call that a gentleman??? I don't think so. Is he a man to marry??? I don't think so. He can't even be counted as a man.
------------------------------
Lesson 1: If you can't or don't know how to raise your kid...don't give birth or wear condoms or simply remove the 's' activity from your list.

Lesson 2: If you're only 2 innocent ladies, don't ever go anywhere near that McDonald's...no matter what time of the day it is.

Lesson 3: Some men are not reliable...be aware. They might be women in disguise.

There Are No Ugly Women, Only Lazy Women

Some women (one of them being myself) spend a significant part of their life complaining about themselves being ugly, wrinklish, fat, unwanted, unattractive, etc.

With a little lots of money, time and effort (depending on each individual's case) everyone have the potential to be beautiful. For example, go to the gym to do more exercises, buy some products/lotions to moisturize your skin, and buy some decent clothes that fit you right.

If your appearance is hopeless, then...work on  your personality. One's great personality can positively influence one's physical projection into other people's eyes.

If you want to be glamorous...start working on both, your interior and exterior beauty.

Dirtiest Colour

Answer: Grey

Justification: The majority believe black is THE dirtiest, but they're wrong. A stain on a white shirt is black, but dusts on a black shirt appear white. So, if you have trouble managing your cleanliness...make friends with grey clothes.

Note: Even if grey is dirty, I don't despise it...but pink and brown.

Ugly Snow White

Yes. It's true that I utterly hate Snow White (the ugliest Disney princess EEEEVER - side note: my favorite is Jasmine) to the point of wanting to strangle her, but it's not her that I'm talking about.

I had and still have to go to work (to earn my bread) in this horrible snow storm of Montreal. By pure coincidence, MeteoMedia didn't announce any precipitation tomorrow...and I'm working from home. What the hell!!! What's the point of all this???

It implies: Having to carry home an encumbering laptop kit, tonight in this storm. But, won't have to go out in a not snowy day (tomorrow), just to work from 1300-1800 (5 hours).

PS. I'm proud of myself for being the only one who arrived on time, in spite of this weather disaster...and the building's entrance wasn't even shovelled when I got there. =_=' Nice job.

TVB’s 4 Parties

It took me a lot of time to FI.NAL.LY get what I didn't understand for yearsss...why the hell do all my favorite artists suddenly vanished from the industry??? It's as simple as a battle for power between 4 parties.


梁家樹's party:
羅嘉良, 古天樂, 郭晉安, 郭羨妮, 宣萱, 陳慧珊, etc.

Tommy Leung – Head of TVB’s drama production department.
(Artists known for their diamond-class acting - me love)
In 2001, Leung's party was at its peak, as almost all artists under his roof were immensely popular, first-rated, and ratings guaranteed. In subsequent years, after a fierce battle with the Tsang party and the increasing power of Virginia Lok in 2003...most Leung’s artists have already left TVB.

曾麗珍's party:

歐陽震華, 馬浚偉, 黎耀祥, 陳豪, 王祖藍, 蔡少芬, 張可頤, etc.

Catherine Tsang – Head of TVB’s drama production department.

(Artists known for their first-class acting - me love)
Even though artists in Tsang's party are known for their acting skill...they're not heavily promoted, because Catherine put most of her energy in directing and producing series. Moreover, Virginia Lok has a slight advantage being Catherine's direct boss.

樂易玲's party:
鄭嘉穎, 林峯, 吳卓羲, 黃宗澤, 馬國明, 黃浩然, 佘詩曼, 胡杏兒, 鍾嘉欣, 徐子珊, etc.

Virginia Lok – Head of TVB's production and resources department.

(Artists primary known for their "good" look - acceptable)
The fate of all TVB-managed artists rests in her hands. Lok has been responsible for launching the careers of many newer artists, with Kevin Cheng (her "god-son") being the ultimate example.

陳志雲's party:
鄧萃雯, 鄧健泓, Amigo, 陳法拉, 陳敏芝, etc.

Stephen Chan – TVB’s General Manager.

(All left overs - Me hate)
Specializes in supporting/promoting artists who are considered "troublesome" and unwanted by other parties. He's just lucky to have Sheren.

Artists with NO party affiliation:
楊怡, 廖碧兒, 米雪, 惠英紅, 謝雪心, 關菊英, 韓馬利, etc.

Mainly, they're all older generation veteran actresses who already have the skill and have been in the industry long enough to know how things work. They don't bother to follow a leader, because their position's already approved in everyone's heart (like myself).
