Vintage/Antique Nora

Feeling old these days. *cry of desperation* (I start to understand why those people in chinese series are always fighting for 長生不老 medicine...if I were in that era, I would also be in that clan) These photos help me remind myself of the old days before I transform into a fossil or a pile of dust. (Would be fantastic if I can become a Stardust though)

*Big parenthesis of randomness* Speaking of old days, I have to say that E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial IS THE BEST movie of all times. I cry each time I watch it. Plus, my favorite musical remains Phantom Of The Opera...part of the reason is because Gerard Butler played the role once.

Comment from an anonymous: Looks like someone's getting lazy. Instead of writting...she posts pictures and videos to fill the space.

Inside The Eye Of A Needle

THIS is one kind of art that people might appreciate...if it's really hand-made. I'm the first one to raise my white flag, with my eyes...there's no way I can achieve that level of meticulousness. Bravo! (to the ones who had this tremendous idea and the ones who had the skills to create them)

Carlos Douh

This guy is A.MA.ZING. *in tears from laughter* Each week, he posts a video on youtube to explain HK slangs. It helps people to understand the language better.

The followings are my favorites...they're hilarious:

Princess sickness - 公主病

HK girl - 港女

Chok yeung - CHOK樣

Gwing - 囧

Terra Cotta Exhibition

During my trip to China, I didn't have enough time to visit Xian...that's why I was so excited about the Terra Cotta exposition at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. BUT, *with all due respect* the whole experience was a disappointment. Thus, HSK and I agreed that the curator should definitely get fired, if not already done.

(I went last Friday, just forgot to write a feedback *shame on me*)

You may think that I'm rough and mean, but give me a chance to justify (it won't take much of your time):
- Lots of informations were missing (care for details = 0).
- Found mistakes in several places.
- Use of soft vocabularies for harsh events??? Not very appropriate.
- Use of wrong words (WTH! king? duke?...)
- Should put descriptions in chinese...I got confused with the names.
- Information cards were placed in corners, which is hard to access if there're lots of people...not convenient.
- Seeing Zang Ziyi's face (the movie Hero) was really not that necessary...at least I get to see Tony Leung as well
- Bringing only 10 Terra Cotta soldiers' not sufficient to cover the floor, so they decided to also display things from the Han period. So out of subject. Oh! And I find that there were excessively too much "wine" jars.

Conclusion: I'm not praising myself, but I'm sure to have done a better job if I were hired for this project.

UCLA Racist Rant

Video of Alexandra Wallace from UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles). It's quite shocking.

I have no comments what-so-ever...the guy in the clip already said it all. LoL And anyways, sometimes (euh...I should say most of the time) I do agree with her...Mainlanders could be annoying without themselves knowing.

It's understandable that one may not be able to cope with everyone. But the problem here, is that she made it official and public on the internet. Honestly, there are people whom I will never be able to be friends with, but I try to keep it to myself and still be polite with them. Seriously. I'm very good at that. Even if I don't like you...you won't notice a thing.

The Way It Should Be

Note: Here you're at the end of the post.



          And when it's time, you'll know [...]
          Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow

          So you can open one that leads you to the perfect road
          Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed

          After a hurricane comes a rainbow
          If you only knew what the future holds
          You're original, cannot be replaced
          You don't have to feel like a waste of space

          You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe , awe
          Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
          Come on let your colors burst
          Baby you're a firework

          As you shoot across the sky-y-y
          Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
          Come on show 'em what your worth
          Cause baby you're a firework

          Like the Fourth of July
          Just own the night
          And let it shine
          You just gotta ignite the light

          Cause there's a spark in you
          Do you know that there's still a chance for you

          But no one seems to hear a thing
          Six feet under scream
          Do you ever feel already buried deep

          One blow from caving in
          Like a house of cards
          Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin

          Wanting to start again
          Drifting throught the wind
          Do you ever feel like a plastic bag

Going Classic

Having nothing (maybe too much) in mind on which movies to buy...I went to Metro DVD for an inspiration and ended up with some of the classics. I'd like to go for more, but money was an issue, *praying to win the jackpot* so I started with those fabulous works. In the near future (when I get my paycheck), more must-see amazing movies will join my collection. Have any ideas on what I should get next???

Personally, I'm thinking about some of Disney's, Star Wars (original trilogy and prequel trilogy), Braveheart, Dragonheart, Titanic, Pearl Harbour, All About Eve, E.T., Godfather, Jaws, King Kong, Dracula, Giant, Hamlet, The King and I, Pygmalion, Romeo and Juliette, King Lear, Les Misérables, and Little Women.

My Love

Where art thou when I need you???

I think I'm in a period of depression. I need someone to hold me tight as to cut my breath off/stop my heart beat and listen to everything I have to say (positive or negative). I might seem to be mood unstable and demand a medium-high standard life (which I can afford it myself anyway), but the person who can accept this, will be one lucky man. I just want someone to understand me, be there whenever I need a shoulder to cry on and be there to share moments of laughters.

          [...] My love, can you give me strength?
          Somehow I forgot how to ease my pain
          I know I'm right where I belong
          Something from nothing never proved me wrong [...]

          [...] I would share my whole life with you
          Would you do the same for me?
          I would give all I am to you
          Would you do the same for me? [...]

Parenthesis: Those are nice lyrics, aren't they? It's from Celine Dion's song, My Love. Btw, yesterday was her first night back to her very own stage in Las Vegas after 2 years of rest. Apparently, the opening was hot and glamorous (with Celine changing 6 gowns during the night).

Since I still haven't found my love, I utterly hate to see couples always doing things together like a pair of chopsticks.

Thief Material

Do I have high potentiels to be a thief??? Maybe...

Yesterday, I went to Sunglass Hut with a friend, wanting to try some sunglasses on and possibly buy meself a pair of surprisingly-not-that-expensive Burberry shield. At first, the fatso was very polite. She asked how we were doing eventhough there were lots of clients to serve. Minutes later, a group of people left...leaving a couple and us 2 in the store. I do agree that a little order and cleaning was needed. At that time, the gigantic-space-waster (see, that's another of Dumbo's ugly sisters) realised that 4-5 pairs were missing from the display. Automatically, her best instinct told her to come towards us (more than the other couple) to ask if by any chance we misplaced those "missing" sunglasses. Being someone with manners, we followed her to the shelf...and with a questioning/interrogatory voice, she pointed at those empty spots and expected an explanation from us.

WOW!!! Common sense, is not that common anymore to everyone, is it? I mean, if your job's here to watch the floor, you're suppose to know that we never touched that part, because it's a no name section. I was more interested/attracted to the Burberry section beside it. Plus, the other spot she was pointing at with her *ninja-chop* hateable finger...was clearly out of reach for someone of my height. Moreover, if my main intention was to steal...wouldn't I go for something more expensive (like Chanel, Bvlgary, Versace, Prada, etc) rather than an unknown brand?

The most important and winning point: if I have the talent to steal not 1-2 pairs, but 4-5 pairs without you noticing a thing...well too bad for you, because I must be a professional.

I mean, what's wrong with you? Have you taken your daily medicine? Do we look like thieves to you? I admit that I wasn't at my best, but certainly not trashy enough for you to accuse me of stealing. *moment of silence* Mmmm...maybe we don't look like thieves, that's why she suspected us first (based on the logic that serial killers don't always look like one and thus, same thing for shoplifters)? That's an interesting question, maybe I should go back to the store to confirm my saying.

Dumbo's Sibblings

Jeeezus Krys!!! This is not normal. Dumbo's family's getting bigger and bigger...it's an invasion...a conspiracy. It's going to be the end of the world before 2012.

Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against Dumbo. I find him extremely cute/adorable/lovely. The ones I utterly hate are his ugly brothers and sisters. Oh! Maybe they're not blood related? Like Cinderella and her 2 inhumanly ugly sisters.

Let me explain myself. His relatives (figuratively speaking) are all unbelievably fat and ugly and dumb (like the name says) and rude. If you get the chance to bump into one on the street, you'll know. They're easily recognizable. I'm working with those creatures everyday (see my pain, now)...speaking of which, there's one sitting near me right now. It's funny how they all end up in the same field.

Those people:
- It's all non-sense each time they open their mouth. No common sense what-so-ever.
- Literally think they're the most important only because they physically take more space.
- Believe to be the best without knowing that they're just a grain of dust.
- Have a brain that's not even the size of a bird's. (I'm being generous here)
- Don't read or don't understand what they read.
- Lots of grammar mistakes...it's your mother language for God sake.
- Courtesy is not something in their dictionary.

Conclusion: It's not healthy for me to be around them. I'm afraid it's contageous and one day or the other i'll become one of them...it's a matter of time. I need to find a way to save myself.

Motivation Drop To Zero

How to make me highly want to stay home, hide under my warm blue blanket, make myself a hot hot hot chocolate, and install my lazy body in front of the tv (lol I don't think it takes much)...everything but go to work for FOUR hours? Today's got it all...

Snow storms which I already hate...but today's exaggeratedly humongous.

Not educated people keep pushing me in the bus even if it wasn't packed. There were plenty of space behind me, but they feel the obligation to hit me. This morning, I also got an old and ugly and dirty backpack thrown to my face. Ha! What can I say? I mean...SERIOUSLY? Do I look like a human punching bag to you???

Poorly managed company which hasn't got the "century's brilliant idea" to shovel the entrance when it snows heavily outside. If I were shorter than I already am, I'd be lost in that mountain of snow...which will result in a lost of one of their best employees.

This morning's one and only positive point, is to have "Doug Savant" as my bus driver.
