The Present is 'THE PRESENT'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is life?

2012-02-01T23:40:00.002+08:00

It has been a busy day. I was able to get my ticket to the Westlife tour. It was a bit depressing that I wasn't able to get the tickets to the first few rows this time.

Everything seems very depressing since Chinese New Year. I guess someone just has his own way to ruin all the festive seasons.

New Seating Plan?

2012-02-01T00:19:00.000+08:00

I was in the pm shift today. Talking to Mal when I was on my way to work, he was kind of extra sweet this morning. It would be great without the distance.

When I arrived at work, Jess instructed a few of us to change seat since we are expecting 2 new staff on board. We gotta unplug the computer and bring it to my new seat. I am so qualified to work for IT department, considering the fact that I did study computer for a while back in high school.

It was quite a busy day. Didn't even have time to work on much emails. We were kind of talking about how Ronny commented on my Facebook status about having a " Spinster Home" together along with Faith and Carmen. So mean.

I've found out that I am becoming more housewife-ish lately. I am so into buying flowers for no reasons. I guess I am still a girl after all. Which girl doesn't love some flowers?

Westlife- The Farewell Tour

2012-01-31T00:23:00.000+08:00

Thank you so much to John for letting me know that Westlife will be coming to Hong Kong their last concert. Hopefully I would be able to get ticket to the concert. I mean being a fan for 14 years, I've only had chance to go to 2 of their concerts. Well, I was still little when I became a fan. It wasn't that easy to save up to buy their album, not to mention going to their concerts. They didn't come to Hong Kong that often anyway.

I guess that's good thing about being a fan of foreign singers or bands. You wouldn't get chance lots of chances to spend money on them, especially for those which are not really well known in your local community. You could hardly find their CD!

Flights Booked

2012-01-26T23:16:00.000+08:00

I have finally bought the tickets to Sydney tonight. Millie and I would be leaving Hong Kong on 21 March and back on 30 March!

Baby?

2012-01-25T23:45:00.000+08:00

After Mal went to bed, I didn't really do anything. Just hung out with my mom, we ran into Vicky, who I haven't been talking to since secondary school. She was with her few month old baby girl. I always wanna kids someday, just didn't expect to see people i know have kids that early. Maybe we are all getting old now.

Chinese New Year

2012-01-24T01:33:00.000+08:00

The Year of Dragon has finally came. According to the Chinese zodiac, all the "dragon girls/ boys" would clashes with the Tai Sui of the year of Dragon. Old people believe that visiting taoist temples Tai Sui for some specific prayer session so as to ask for good fortune throughout the year. I've done it twice so far. I guess it just to make you feel better in some well?

Anyway, after having some year cake and water chestnut cake made by my aunt, we headed to Tuen Mun to visit my grandma's sister's family like every single year. To be honest, I don't really fell like Chinese New Year, it is just another time for your relative you haven't seen for a year to brag about their family anyway.

During my way to Tuen Mun, there was something terrible actually happened. The escalator was stopped all of a sudden when a bunch of people going to another platform for changing train. Everyone almost fell off from the escalator. Luckily no one got hurts.

Chinese vs HKers

2012-01-23T00:56:00.000+08:00

There is a video being shared everywhere online. A professor from Peking University was invited to a forum. During that few minutes, he had been calling HongKongers dogs and bastards for numerous time. He had a very odd reasoning towards this Chinese vs Hongkongers topic. According to him, HKers didn't speak mandarin Chinese and considered themselves to be better than mainlanders. Therefore, HKers were mainly dogs and bastards. You may find the video below for the video.

As a Chinese, shame on him. This professor is one of those people who turns us into an international big joke. As a HKers, I do find it so not fair. Hongkonger people have been working so hard in the past century and turned this little village into an international city. China cannot try to take credit of HKers' hard work. That's something we are proud of.

Lunar New Year Fair

2012-01-22T00:10:00.001+08:00

After a simple "reunion dinner" at my uncle's place, I just handed home watching some tree hill drama. reunion dinner is supposed to be a held on the Chinese New Year's Eve. A bunch of family member would gather and have a big dinner according to the tradition. I haven't been doing this since my grandma passed away. We basically stopped visiting senior on the New Year. I guess it just doesn't mean as much right now. Growing older, I found it better to just go to work on these sort of holiday. That somehow makes you less lonely.

This morning at work, Alek has already gave us New Year gift, which is a box of Ferrero Rocher as well as the red envelope of course. I didn't expect we would be given that considering the how British the coming is. Don't get me wrong, I actually do like the company in general. The culture, the goal and etc.

2012 Golden Globes

2012-01-16T23:41:00.000+08:00

After working on the weekend, I finally got a day off. Mal was able to spend some time with me.

I was just watching the 69 Annual Golden Globes. The dresses were amazing. I love the Christian Dior Couture Charlize Theron was wearing. My favorite would be the royal blue mermaid dress Sofia Vergara was wearing. It was by Vera Wang and was absolutely gorgeous like every piece of her design. Again, who doesn't love a Vera Wang? Isn't it every girl's dream to walk down the aisle in a Vera Wang?

Milan Fashion Week

2012-01-15T22:47:00.000+08:00

The new snack bar at the sub has just opened. Therefore, I went to get some eggette on my way home. Having the eggette reminded of the street hawker behind my high school. I remember a bunch of us used to get those during lunch hour. Memories. Things are much easier. I don't know why but eggette back than seemed to taste better.

The Milan Fashion Week has finally started on 14 Jan. I watched the Burberry Prorsum, Valentino and Dolce & Gabbana shows.

First of all, the theme of the Burberry Prorsum is "The Gentlemen". The whole collection was very old-school. Unlike last season, much darker colours were used. Suits or tailoring are still the main stream for the menswear fashion shows.

Burberry Prorsum

Valentino

Dolce & Gabbana

Personalized Diary

2012-01-13T23:41:00.000+08:00

I have been making my personalized diary on Tintint.com, a Taiwan website. It is a very interesting web which allows you to make your own scrapbook, calenders, diary and etc. You can also have it published and delivered from Taiwan directly.

Waking up, I headed to Pacific Coffee for their new English tea latte. I think I like their soy latte better. After spending a little time with Mal, I went to my dermatologist again.

Whatever

2012-01-11T00:01:00.001+08:00

It has been a relatively quiet day which was a good thing. Millie has also confirmed with me that she could be going to Sydney with me in March. The cheapest flight I could find is HKD 7000 and I am still looking for place to stay. Hopefully I could find something cheap. I would really have to save as much as possible in the coming months.

After work, my sister has been yelling at me the whole time. I just want to have a quiet dinner at the dinning table. Wish Mal is here.

New Year's Eve

2012-01-08T14:34:00.001+08:00

He finally showed up after missing for 2 nights but he went to bed at 10pm. Maybe the test was right, I am feeling alone sometimes.

After getting my last dose of Gardasil, I went to watch the New Year's Eve. I have been waiting for this movie for months since I loved Valentine's Day. I was surprised that the cinema was so empty on Sunday. People gathered up to celebrate one day together. They stopped and reflected what they have done the whole year. They looked for a second chance and a New Year miracle. It was good but I like Valentine's Day better to be honest.

2012-01-08T01:27:00.000+08:00

It's 1:22am, I've found myself scrolling my Facebook page up and down for no reason. I have no idea what I am doing. Millie asked while I wanna get away from Hong Kong in March so badly. Apart from my annual leaves have to be cleared up by the end of March, maybe I do need it. Instead of waiting till 20 March, maybe I should consider flying out on my birthday.

Chopsticks Musical

2012-01-08T00:11:00.002+08:00

Millie interviewed Perry Chiu earlier. Therefore, she got the tickets to the show for tonight. It was so cool. We were seated on the 5th row!

Before the show, we walked around in Sheung Wan to see if there is anything special for dinner. We stopped at a place called Malaymama. It was a small Malaysian restaurant. I ordered a Laksa and Kahyah Toast. Both of them are actually quite good comparing to most common Malaysian/ Singaporean restaurants.

Arrived at the theatre early, Millie gave me a test. personality test as below, I was supposed to fill in the blankets without thinking.

"Walking into a forest, I first saw a (squirrel). Passing by the (little chalet) in the woods, I saw (a horse). I then kept walking and stopped at a very very beautiful lake to (take a picture). Walking some more, there was a beach where I (took a walk there). After that I found there was a wall on the way, so ( I went back and tried to find another way to go). At the end of the road, I found a house, I walked inside and found that (it had been abandon for awhile). "

Result,

Squirrel- my own personality

Little chalet- current life, not aggressive

Horse- what kind husband I am looking for

Take a picture- love life related, more of a cherish the memory type of person

Took a walk on the beach- not homosexual

Going back- avoid the reality

An abandon house- feeling alone

The show began. It was about a girl group named Chopsticks back in the 60s. Apart from pursuing a career in singing, it was said that Sandy and Amelia were lovers. The love making was very sensual. I didn't expect it would have a crying ending. I like Amelia. To love a person wholeheartedly, hold on to it even it is hard.

On my way home, I grabbed some after show snack.

Future

2012-01-07T17:13:00.001+08:00

He didn't wake up to tuck me in last night. I know it might sound silly but I miss it. I had a dream last night. It was kind of sweet. I was gonna share it with Mal this morning but I don't know where he went.

Dolce & Gabbana

2012-01-06T23:58:00.001+08:00

I was just reading the news about complaints Dolce & Gabbana had regarding taking pictures of the window displays. According to the news, someone was stopped by the security guard while he was trying to take a picture of it. Then people was making a big fuss out of us online and even starting an event on Facebook.

I know it wasn't really reasonable to stop people from taking pictures but to be honest every single "luxury" brand would do the same thing. Instead of spending the time to start an event, why not doing something more meaningful?

The work environment today was intense as usual. Jessica has been so inspiring when it comes to career. I mean I have never really met someone was so keen on pursuing what she wanted in the career aspect. I would really miss her if she left. I guess I should really take her advice and plan early. What do I really want?

11:11

2012-01-05T23:11:00.000+08:00

In bed alone. It has already 11:11. I think my wish has never changed since I started doing this.

Freezing Day

2012-01-05T22:59:00.004+08:00

It hasn't been that cold in Hong Kong for a while. I used to be able to send this kind of weather back at school since it was always below 10C during winter. I guess I have either got older or It is really important to have someone beside you.

I'm glad that I brought lunch today. I was able to have a quiet hour with Mal. An hour is never enough though.

Tiring Day

2012-01-04T23:29:00.002+08:00

Early morning, I woke up to go to my dermatologist. Mal was there the whole time. It was good to have him kind of there. My doctor changed my medicines. Hope it would help. She always wanted me to come back on 13 Jan.

After that, I went to Kimberly Street with my mom so as to get some authentic kimchi. We got some at a little Korean store. The kimchi was ok but not as good as those Anna's mom or Susan's Grandma made.

Anyway, today was supposed to be a shopping day. Not a shopping day for myself but my sis. My dad has told her to buy a coat and charge on his credit card. Therefore, I needed to be there. It was totally exhausted to hang out with my sis.

11:11

2012-01-03T23:15:00.003+08:00

I was checking my bank accounts online and just noticed that it was 11:11pm. I don't remember since when we started doing 11:11 wishing together but he was definitely the only guy I have been doing this with. Glad we have something together. Just wish we could have more.

Was gonna go to the movie with my mom today but we couldn't find anything that we were both interested in. We just ended up hanging out in a mall.

Knight and Day

2012-01-02T23:38:00.000+08:00

This is another working day. I managed to talk to Mal for a bit since it wasn't really busy. During lunch, a bunch of us went to try out this new cafe around the corner. It is called Patio Cafe. The food was ok but a bit pricey. I guess I should really pack lunch more often.

I was checking movies to watch tonight. I ended up watching Knight and Day. It kind of like The Killers but not as funny.

First day of the year

2012-01-01T22:02:00.001+08:00

What's betting than starting your year by working? I was so late this morning so that I need to take a taxi back to work. When I was getting ready at home, I even slipped and fell on my arm. It hurts now. I am glad that it was a peacefully day. I got to say Happy New Year to Mal during lunch.

Happy New Year?

2012-01-01T02:01:00.002+08:00

Happy new year I guess? I was out having my last meal of 2011 with Wendy after watching Mission Impossible. We went to Niji like last year and got tickets to the countdown party held by Habour City just like last year as well.

After the countdown, girls got hands to hold on to after standing there for hours in heels, having the very first kiss of year 2012.

I think I will stop celebrating any events in 2012. They are just another days of the year, what's the deal? Just don't wanna do it alone again.

What's better than starting your new year by working on morning shift? I should probably head to bed.

Australia Visa (ETA)

2011-12-29T23:41:00.000+08:00

My day didn't start off so well this morning. Early morning, I've got yelled at 3 customers... Told you. Bad luck. Even black crystal cluster can't help.

I have finally applied for my Visa to Australia. The application was surprisingly easy, comparing to the US Visa. I applied for the ETA. Since I am a HKSAR passport holder, I could just simply apply this Visa through https://www.eta.immi.gov.au/index.html.

During this application, you will just have to fill in your passport information. The most user friendly part is you could just pay the AUD 20 application fee online with your credit card!!!! The whole procedure took me approximately 5 minutes. There is a reason why Australia has been so popular among tourist.

The Audrey Hepburn Story

2011-12-28T23:31:00.001+08:00

Waken up by Timothy this morning, he was looking for me for lunch as well as getting the tie and stuff I helped him to buy. To be honest, that tie is actually very nice. That's something I would get my boyfriend, if he wore tie to work. I remember helping Tim to pick a similar one at the Outlet earlier as well. I have no idea why he would need two very similar ties. I guess it is just like the guys not knowing why girls need so many handbags. Speaking on boyfriend, I haven't really spent time with him since the 23th. 2 days without spending time over 30mins. Nothing at all for the rest of the days. Maybe I should stop counting. The good thing is my work will be able to keep me occupied tomorrow. Apart from hanging out with my mom, I didn't do much today. However, I did buy a new pair of heels at Shutalk. I still haven't gotten it yet since the pony hair of the one at the store was basically flipping upward. I'll go to back to the shop to see if they helped me to order another pair. During the shopping, she said I might be ending up alone. It doesn't really matter, does it? Just life. I was watching The Audrey Hepburn Story tonight. It wasn't a great movie but it did talk about some parts of Audrey's life. The movie started at the set of Breakfast at Tiffany's. Audrey remembered her earlier life during the making of this movie. To be honest, I like her as a regular woman and fashion icon more than a movie star. Her dedication to helping children in need was just inspiring. Jenifer Love Hewitt was playing Audrey Hepburn. I must say she does look like Audrey at some points. Overall, it is not a must see movie, however, it would be a good start for people who is interested in the life of this icon.

2011-12-28T00:27:00.000+08:00

Finally a day off after working on Christmas, which used to be one of my favorite festivals. I don't know. I guess X'mas just haven't been going so well these few years. I didn't do much today. Just facial and hung out with my mom. Mal is still at his sis'. Didn't get to spend time wtih him. What a X'mas. I was on Weibo, the Chinese Twitter thing). I saw 2 really pretty wedding dresses from someone's tweet.

Boxing Day

2011-12-27T00:11:00.001+08:00

I have been working for the whole Christmas. It finally comes to an end, peacefully. Well, the passing out wasn't so peaceful but overall? Ya, peacefully. I didn't even get a chance to say Merry Christmas to my boyfriend. The third year without him.

I was having lunch by myself this afternoon. Getting a cup of coffee at Starbucks, chitchatting with the barista. I am not a fan of Starbucks but I guess it is just a good way to get away from the real life for a little while.

Running Late

2011-12-26T00:50:00.001+08:00

While everyone else was celebrating Christmas, I was at the office replying emails and listening to customer whining. Except for some calls from China, I wasn't really busy today. You know, X'mas is a very international holiday after all.

I was running so late this morning. I was charging my phone at night, however, my cell was still out of baterry this morning so the alarm didn't go off. Then I realized that I was needed to first switch on that power port. I guess I am just not familiar with everything at home.

When I woke up, it was almost 12pm, I was supposed to be back by 1pm. I gotta bring my dinner and the wrong parcel back to the office. I was so super cranky this morning I admit that. I went back to the office without makeup or eating anything. I still didn't have enough time to switch on my computer. Sucks.

I got off at 10pm tonight, I didn't leave until 11pm. I was just talking to Laura and Jessica about work. Poor them, they have to take the overnight shift. Jessica also reminded me that we weren't able to ship out perfume by courier company. Hopefully we could figure something out when everyone else in the UK was actually on leave...

Christmas Eve

2011-12-25T03:20:00.000+08:00

When I woke up this morning, I realized that one of the perfume gift sets that I've ordered for Rae's mom was delivered. Opening the parcel, I found out it was a wrong item. I have been dealing with quite a few swap order cases with Jessica, I just didn't think that I would be one of the victims. Bad luck I guess.

After having a brunch and getting some little gifts for my friends, I went home myself. I was knocking on the door and calling my sis for over 30 mins at the door, she was taking a nap. I was basically running late when she finally opened the door.

I met my Millie, Wendy and Rae at Tsim Sha Tsui. We had dinner at a upstair cafe called OWL Our Wonderland. I am so glad that the food was actually quite good even we booked the table last minute. Chitchatting for hours, we headed to Rosary Church for Midnight Mass. Going to the church this year, I felt a bit older. It seemed that so many things have changed. At the end of the mass, I passed out, which scared everyone to death. I guess it was because of the ventilation inside the church. It was almost 3am when I was home.

Last Minute Shopping

2011-12-23T23:39:00.000+08:00

After having a quick bit, I headed to the Citygate mall with my mom. My mom was hoping to get some cute Burberry children clothes for the babies from families which she worked for as a postnatal care worker. I am so gonna get a baby trench coat for my future kids. I have also got myself a top and some lingerie.

Nutcracker

2011-12-22T23:59:00.000+08:00

I haven't been blogging for a while. I am too tired to write after work I guess.

I managed to get off from work on time today. After work, I went to Hong Kong Cultural Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui to join Helen and Rita. We were there having a coffee before the show begin.

The show tonight was so great. I love the solo so much. I missed the sound of ballet shoes. I didn't even remember why I would give up dancing.What if I didn't give it up?

Teambuilding

2011-12-17T01:10:00.000+08:00

Our team was having karaoke thing as our very first team building activity tonight. As I said I hated karaoke so much that I just wanna skip, especially after the medication. Have been a bit dizzy the whole day. I think the medicines were stronger than I thought it would be.

We were even having Karaoke buffet there. The food was typical just like most karaoke food. At around 8pm, we exchanged presents for the secret Santa thingy. Brian got me a hand warmer, which Jess mistaken it as vibrator when I first unwrapped it. Alek left after that. We knew he wasn't gonna stay long.

The happiest thing for the day is Millie got tickets to a stage play after interviewing Perry Chiu. She was asking if I would be free to go to the theater with her. Of course! I always love her plays! I was totally jealous that she had a chance to interview her.

Life

2011-12-15T21:16:00.000+08:00

I haven't been writing anything for days. I guess I'm just lazy. The managers are finally back from London. The operation is still as usual. Everyone has given up on hoping for anything long time ago.

I went to meet Melody for lunch originally. However, it took longer than expected for her to pick a perfect trench and scarf. She had to head back to the office without lunch. How great it is to go to work in suit? It just look more professional in some way. You wouldn't be called overdressed in shirt at least.

Going to Delifrance for lunch myself, it was nice to enjoy the quietness before going to the dermatologist. It was the first time to visit this doctor. After the first appointment, I found her quite convincing. I'll see if the medicine was useful or not.

Apart from all these, I've gotten a French grammar book and a travel book for Sydney. I surely need to spend some times on them.

Busy

2011-12-08T23:25:00.001+08:00

2 more working days I would be off. These few days have been very exhausting. Spending time with Mal was definitely the best moment of the day.

I am still thinking about my Australia trip. I haven't started looking at flights yet. I guess a part of me is still hoping he could be here while deep down inside I know it wasn't very likely to happen considering the job markets and the inflation these days.

Good old day

2011-12-06T22:56:00.001+08:00

I couldn't sleep last night. Being tired and laying in bed awake should not go together. Maybe it was because I didn't talk to him for a night or deep down inside I knew something was wrong? Seeing his message at 2am wasn't a really good bedtime story. Once again, I wasn't there.

I finally bought the tickets to the Nutcracker for 22 December. I have been wanting to watch it for a few years. It would be nice to see something X'mas-ish, considering I would be working on X'mas and Boxing Day. It doesn't really matter I guess. It's not like I would have any special plans. Isn't it just another normal day.

I suddenly had the urge to read through our messages on my 21st birthday. It was one of my best birthdays ever. I kept calling him crazy that day.

Ritz-Carlton

2011-12-06T00:59:00.001+08:00

Tonight was the Burberry X'mas dinner, which was held at Ritz-Carlton. After getting ready, I went to meet Anna so that we could go to the hotel together. It was so crowded there. Everyone was crazy taking pictures.

The party was very fun actually. Unfortunately, I didn't get anything from the lucky draw. Well, I was kind of expected that. I mean I have never been that lucky.

I haven't talked to Mal for the whole day. I don't know.

Outlets?

2011-12-05T00:43:00.001+08:00

Going to Citygate with my mom, I ran into Susan at Burberry outlet. I am so disappointed that I couldn't even find a nice top at this mall today. After spending hours there, we headed back home. I bought a pair of earrings at Marks and Spencer on the way.

To my surprised, Mal was early tonight. I haven't been talking to him at night in a while. Then he had to go to his sister's place for lunch. Never seems to have enough time.

St Ives

2011-12-03T00:35:00.000+08:00

As you might know, I have been using St Ives Body Polish for quite a while. I went to get a new tube of Oatmeal and Shea butter body polish at Bonjour the other day since mine is almost done. Anyway, the tube I've got turned into a really unnatural yellow color which was pretty gross. I should have taken a picture. I've shown that to Susan, she had the same feeling as well even she didn't use it before. I went to get a refund anyway.

Normal color

Apart from that, nothing special I guess? Another day without sleeping well. I am used to having someone to tuck me in I guess. I am not afraid of being alone. I mean sometimes I would even rather be alone. Just seeing everything in pairs could make yourself feeling a bit lonely.

Dayoff

2011-12-01T23:08:00.001+08:00

The weather is finally getting lower. According to the news, it would drop to 13C tonight. I don't want a tropical Christmas. Hong Kong no longer has 4 seasons or it never does. I am envy people who could experience the different between fall and winter. I guess it doesn't really matter. I would be working on 25 and 26 Dec anyway.

I've found myself checking the US Nonimmigrant Visa things for the past few days. I even started filling it the application. I stopped halfway. I don't know.

Fight

2011-11-29T23:23:00.001+08:00

I was just reading our blog. It always makes me cry and it's something I would never be tired of reading. I was just reading and suddenly wanna dig up some message history. Why do we fight? I remember I was so scared every time we fought. Distance itself is powerful enough to drive people crazy. In addition to every tiny little things that happened, it was like a ticking time bomb.

Not much special at work I guess. Everything is still the same. Customers are still interesting as usual. Am I wasting my time here? For call centre job, the only good thing is having flexible hour. Getting yelled at in a daily basis is just not really that fun. It would be nice to come home to someone who cares.

Shopping Day

2011-11-27T23:36:00.001+08:00

I have been doing some serious shopping today. I've finally found a dress for the company X'mas party. It's a lace dress by Armani Exchange. I am sure I could wear it again later as long as I don't gain any more weights. Unlike those H&M or whatever lower end one. I seriously couldn't pick any wearable dresses. I mean it's not really about the brand, I just don't wanna get a dress which I would only wear once. That's such a waste. On the other hand, I did find some pretty panties at H&M. I will see if they are comfy.

After the dress, I found a really cute Miu Miu bag from the Capsule Edition Asia 2010 at Brand off. It is a tiny quilted leather bag in pale pink. I couldn't help but buy it. Sighhhh. I need to stop buying stuff.

Outback

2011-11-27T01:09:00.001+08:00

I didn't sleep so well this morning. Woke up for a few times for no reason. Glad Mal was there later on. Felt like haven't talked to him for a long time. I hate that.

After spending time with Mal for a few hours, I went out to Tsim Sha Tsui by myself. I was trying to look for a dress for the coming X'mas party. I couldn't really find anything nice. Then Michelle and Simon joined me at the mall. We went to Outback together. It was great to know how everyone has been doing. I am so jealous of Michelle. She is flying out to New York on Monday. That's the reason why I wanted to work for airline.

There were giant decoration at the Habour City to celebrate the opening of the Toystoryland (inside Disneyland). We headed back to the mall and also the 1881 for some photos.

TGIF

2011-11-26T00:48:00.001+08:00

What a busy day. Didn't really have time to rest. People have been calling about Black Friday Sales. I mean which luxury brand do sales? Why even bother to ask? The only good thing for today was I have finally had replied from the UK. Glad to be able to get something done before weekend.

Having lunch with Laura and Susan, they have been asking what I would be doing for my long annual leave. Seriously, I have no idea. Of course, suggestion from everyone was exactly the same. I'm not surprised at all. Just have to get used to it I guess?

Since UK people have been complaining our team for working over-time, all of us turned computers off at 8pm sharp. Which company would actually hate their employees for working over-time?

Thanksgiving

2011-11-24T23:07:00.001+08:00

Today was just another normal day. Got yelled at by some customers and etc. What a Thanksgiving Day.

Motivation

2011-11-21T23:27:00.001+08:00

A regular Monday. Speaking of "Motivation", our managers have given us a speech on this topic after work. I regretted not walking out of the office like Carmen at 5pm sharp. I almost missed my facial appointment. Glad I could change the time still. I would just say no one was really motivated after the speech?

Be your own boss?

2011-11-21T00:00:00.001+08:00

I had dinner with the girl at Ruby Tuesday last night. It was fun. I didn't come home till mid-night. Cool to spend time with friends when your work is just not going in your way?

After taking Helen to the Optical shop I know, I joined my mom so as to hang out for a bit. I am actually considering getting an iMac. I know I have never been a fan of Apple but comparing all the computer available out there? iMac doesn't seem to be the most expensive one. I wanna get one with Intel Core i7 so hopefully it would last longer. The price for those computers with i7 are pretty much more expensive than iMac, so I am still thinking.

I was just talking to Lily. She is trying to hire people for her Sau San Tong Sliming & Beauty store. I am actually jealous of her. Being her own boss. Sigh.

Tireddd

2011-11-18T23:22:00.001+08:00

The office was like a battle field this morning. We came back to work at 8am, and there were over 200 emails waiting for us on the system.

We were currently drafting up our own timetable since the Dec timetable from the UK was a total mess. Everyone has been telling me to use up my annual leave. That would be difficult. I mean I don't wanna stay in HK doing nothing for over a week or I don't really wanna travel alone at this moment in time. Don't get me wrong, traveling alone is actually a very cool experience but it could be a bit lonely I guess.

I worked overtime since tonight since the some of us needed to have a little meeting with manger from the UK. After work, Mandy and I went to Korean Restaurant for dinner. We were talking and talking about how we have been lately at work. Interesting.

Body Shop Day

2011-11-16T23:23:00.001+08:00

After talking to Mal, I went out for lunch and had a look at different sort of eye cream. I have always been lazy with eye cream but I think it's time for me to get a serious eye cream. I feel old.

I spent hours in The Body Shop and I bought 3 things there, including the Nutriganics smoothing eye cram, Eyebrow and liner kit and the Aqua Lily shower gel (39HKD).

I have been wanting to get a new eyebrow kit. Came across the Body shop one on Makeupalley, so I bought it as well. However, I got the shower gel only cause I was few dollars away for one more stamp on my stamp collection card thingy. Well, this smell was limited edition and it smell pretty good actually. With my membership discount and the member coupon, I paid around 300HKD for them.

Day off

2011-11-15T23:19:00.001+08:00

I love spending hours with Mal in the morning. Just feel closer in a sense. Don't know when we could actually be together.

After spending hours with him, I went out for lunch. I've got a headache. I guess It was because I stayed in bed for too long.

In Time

2011-11-14T23:12:00.000+08:00

After work, Total and I went to the movie. It was kind of unexpected but we still went. We watched In Time. I have been wanting to see for a long time. I actually like the movie. I like the concept of using time as a currency. It said that the whole country was divided by different "timezone". People with a lot of "time" would stay in one zone while the people with less than one day would stick together.

It was also sarcastic in a way since it was exactly describing how it is in the real world. The rich is getting richer, the poor is struggling each day.

Treasuring each second you have.

It Will Rain

2011-11-13T22:36:00.001+08:00

Another working day, people are interesting. You could never know how someone could change and affect the others. I guess you just have to admit that nothing is fair.

I really like Bruno Mars' new song very much. It's kind of different from his old songs but I like it. Can I girl really turn a guy's life upside down?

Body Shop

2011-11-13T00:19:00.001+08:00

Everyone at work seems to be lack of morale these days. Glad I didn't have any new cases this morning. I had time to help my colleagues and myself to follow up pending complaints.

Going to have a facial after work, I almost fell asleep there. After that, I went to get some groceries. I went to get some body butter at Body Shop as well. I always wanna try out their body butter. Why not giving them a try when they are on sale? :P I bought 3 jars for HKD209. Pretty good deal.

On my own

2011-11-11T00:46:00.001+08:00

This afternoon I was basically on my own. My phone would start to ring immediately when I put my phone down. Apart from that, the "chats" were coming non stop as well. What a busy day!

PMS?

2011-11-10T00:40:00.003+08:00

Since our team started, we are getting busier each day, especially when we are so short of staff. I was on the phone with a crazy customer. I did nothing but keep apologizing and giving verbal nod in a super claim way. It turned out my manager called me cranky... I seriously have nothing more to say. I mean it's not like I'm expecting to get a certificate or anything.

I admit that I still have a lot to learn in the "CS" area but comparing to them I have a bit knowledge in fashion. Let's take today "Spring/ Summer" collection as an example. I didn't tell them the release schedule without knowing anything. It turned out no one took that seriously. Just whatever.

Dayoff

2011-11-08T22:50:00.003+08:00

I have received call from my bank confirming that they are gonna transfer my passbook the the bank which is the closest to me. See? You can't be gentle and sweet when you need something to be done.

I love spending time with my guy, talking about everything. Wish we could do that more often. Wish we didn't have to do it over the phone or via computer. Sigh.

Busy

2011-11-08T00:51:00.000+08:00

Another busy day. I has been working on my follow up cases the whole day. Didn't really have chance to work on new emails. It seemed to get worse in some way.

I've received reply in regards to the position in Chanel. It turns out Chanel is starting a new customer service center in Hong Kong. I love the industry so much but picking up calls and emails as a job isn't the reason for me to get a degree in Finance.

Working on the Weekend

2011-11-06T23:32:00.001+08:00

I think I haven't gone to work on Sunday for a while. It wasn't a really lazy day I would say, even we ordered KFC for lunch.

Mal was so sweet this afternoon. He doesn't say those things a lot but he always makes me cry when he does. Just wish to hear it from him. I am not dying to get married kinda girl. I guess seeing everyone I know in pairs would make people feeling a bit lonely.

After work, I went to Pacific Coffee for a light dinner. I don't know. I didn't have appetite for food tonight.

Graduation

2011-11-06T00:13:00.001+08:00

It was Toto's graduation ceremony today. I went there to take pictures for her. I have known her for almost 17 years, I just wanna be there for her. After the tiring photo taking day, we went to have dinner and follow by dessert. It was fun.

By the way, my bank passbook got "swallowed" by the passbook update machine this afternoon. It was so annoying! I was so pissed that I gotta call and yelled at those Customer Service Hotline people. I mean there is no way for me to go all the way back there for my passbook! We will see... They said they would call me on Monday after talking to the bank associates to see if it could be arranged.

Old Friend

2011-11-04T23:50:00.000+08:00

I swapped my dayoff with Ronny today so as to go to Toto's graduation tomorrow. I mean she was there for me and we have been knowing each other for over 17 years. Just wanna be there for her as well.

During lunch, Melody came to meet me. I haven't seen her for years! We went to the Brunch Club to catch up. Even just for an hour, it was still great. I miss her. She is going to be getting her master at HKU and working for JPM, we should be having some more time to meet in the future. Sometimes, you just want to meet your old friends. Being lonely does suck.

Going back to work, I have 5 orders got stuck at custom. I hated that I needed to do logistic stuff as well. Since we were so out of staff tonight, I stayed there for a bit longer. Chats and calls kept coming during that time. Right before I got off from work, I received an angry customer's call. I got yelled at again. I didn't even know what it was about.

After work, I tried to find a graduation doll for Toto. I finally found a cat doll... It was difficult.

Career?

2011-11-03T23:24:00.000+08:00

I have been putting some thoughts on my career path. Customer service is definitely not something I would like to do for the rest of my life. Don't get me wrong. I do like my company, and the industry, just not the job nature. Working in a CS department kind of make me feel like I am giving up what I like.

These two days have been very tiring. I mean I am well aware of the job description of my position but dealing with UPS and custom? Didn't see that coming.

Blah

2011-11-03T00:03:00.000+08:00

Another working day. UPS China did piss me off today. I just couldn't find any company with more stupid people than UPS China. I don't know. Just CS is not even what I like to do, in addition to logistic and custom issues I need to handle? I don't know.

Catch Up

2011-11-02T23:51:00.000+08:00

I finally remember to bring the eyeball chocolates back to the office. Everyone was playing with them and using them to take pictures. Interesting.

After work, I went to have dinner with Guillaume. We haven't met for over 4 years I think. It was nice to catch up. We just randomly went to a boutique bar in Causeway Bay afterward. The bar was nice but the drink was quite expensive. I guess I just haven't been to any bar I actually like for a long time. When you ask me to suggest a bar, I really couldn't name any. I am really jealous of him being able to travel around so often.

Je pense à toi

2011-10-31T22:18:00.001+08:00

Am I really that miserable? I've found myself crying at the McDonald's this morning. Fighting with him is one of the things I hate the most. I believe we could make it but a little part of me is scared. I guess it's just because good thing never seemed to stay. I must be very terrible as a girlfriend.

I have been listening to this song I found on youtube for 2 days. It's beautiful and sad. Is it ok for me to cry over a song? again? I might not be able to understand the whole song completely but I like the lines.

Plus je pense à toi by Patrick Fiori

Crazy, Stupid, Love

2011-10-30T22:26:00.004+08:00

I didn't sleep well last night. I laid in bed awake till 3am. Still couldn't sleep. At some point, I had a thought about taking my annual leave to go to Nice in March. I don't know.

After having a coffee with Toto, we decided to go to movie. We watched Crazy, Stupid, Love. I have been wanting to watch it since I saw the trailer. It turned out to be a pretty interesting movie. Basically it was about a couple who had been married for over 20 years. They got a divorce because the wife found the marriage had changed.

Melody texted me that she might not be able to make it to the hotpot dinner tonight since she was still in the meeting. Therefore, I just called Tim to call it off. I mean first of all, I am not a big fan of hotpot; second, I don't want to go to Mong Kok since I had that place.

Rayban

2011-10-30T00:03:00.000+08:00

I've heard it's already snowing in New York. How many first snow I've missed since we are together? Sigh.

Didn't sleep so well last night. Great to spend 11:11 with Mal this morning. Haven't done that in a while.

After the breakfast, I hung out with my mom. I ended up buying the Rayban flip out in gun metal. The optician at the optical store even swap the lens color into blue for me.

Then it was the facial. I went to the Organic Beauty store. I don't like it when they always do the hard selling. It could be very annoying.

I am just listening to the song Mal showed me this morning. It is sweet.

Burberry Flagship Opening Event

2011-10-28T03:14:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, I took part in my very first real fashion event. It was very cool. I am so glad that I was able to be a part of it. After work, Brian, Alan and I went to Four Seasons and take the shuttle bus to the event location.

We arrived at some industrial area. We were so curious about how the location would look like. When we stepped foot into the building, we saw the checked wall there.

We then took the lift to the event floor. The minute we walked out the lift, we saw MAGGIE CHEUNG on her way leaving the event! Brian almost ran into her. She is so pretty and nice in person. I am kinda sad that I didn't have chance to take a pictures with her.

It was such a surprised that Burberry could turn this location into a glamorous event location serving Moët & Chandon with One Night Only on stage. I think I drank like 2 bottles. I have no idea why the waiters kept helping me to refill. The event was like a Prorsum show. I was seriously wondering how they could wear the leather trench coats without fainting.

The most existing thing happened later the night. We found out Angela Arhendts and Will. I. Am. (Black eyed peas) entering the party! Will. I. Am. even went upstage to dj for hours! It was very cool.

Work Work Work

2011-10-25T23:45:00.001+08:00

These few days have been busy as usual. Paul, our CS director flew to Hong Kong from London and went to visit us this afternoon. I placed 2 orders over the phone today. It was about 5000USD in total. However, I don't get any commission. How sad.

Facial

2011-10-22T22:33:00.000+08:00

I went to have facial and body massage at Organic Beauty today. Those facial places would usually try so hard to convince you to join some facial plans. I sucked and I joined today. This is evil.

TGIF

2011-10-22T01:07:00.000+08:00

It was another busy day. Everyone has been working non-stopped. I wore my jumpsuit I bought earlier because we were told that the big boss would be visiting. I knew the big boss wouldn't be coming to Leighton Centre. I mean it's a very old building and we are just Customer service. Why the hell they would have to make the effort to visit us? All I have to say is jumpsuit is nice but not convenience at all.

After work, Mandy and I went to have dinner together. Originally, we wanna go to catch a flick but we couldn't get the tickets. Therefore, we just went to a restaurant nearby and talk for hours.

Westlife is Splitting up

2011-10-20T23:59:00.003+08:00

I couldn't believe that Westlife is splitting up after the farewell tour in 2012. I have been a fan for 14 years. There were countless of Westlife's songs that have made me cry. Memories. I am such a Pisces. I just couldn't find anyone who sings better love songs than them.

Today's work was busy still and the legendary "bespoke trench coat" is finally launched few hours ago. I've known about it from the training in London. I think it was actually a pretty cool idea. I've tired to play around with the website. The bespoke trench is so pricey, also I did expect more variety in terms of elements you could put onto the coat.

PM Shift

2011-10-20T00:19:00.001+08:00

Another PM Shift today. These few days were busy for everyone.

It was only Alan and I were on pm shift, so we went to grab a bite to eat after work. The restaurant was those typical small Cantonese congee restaurant. It was pretty good. Haven't been there even I have been working in Causeway Bay on and off for over a year.

Happy Hour

2011-10-18T00:06:00.001+08:00

My work today was ok. Not really that busy. I went back to the Lee Gardens office to grab some stuff during lunch. The office was so quiet without our team yelling and singing there. Deadly silence.

After work, Carmen, Alan and I went to have okonomiyaki for dinner at Bang Bang Pan Pan. Originally we were planning to have lunch there but it wasn't open yet when we were off for lunch. It was fun. We even ordered beer. I haven't had a beer in a while. We talked about a lot of relationship stuff. No relationship is easy. How cool it is to just go to have happy hour to have some fun after work?!

Friends With Benefits

2011-10-17T01:00:00.001+08:00

Don't you think that family could be something really vain, even when they should be the one that you trusted the most? Over the pass 20 years, I think I have seen enough of it. I just don't want to have anything to do with the so-called family.

I don't remember since when I stopped trusting anyone. I guess I have issues. I don't really mean to look or sound so cruel. Maybe it's just my self protect mechanism?

This afternoon, I went to watch Friends With Benefits. Despite of the fact that Justin Timberlake has been showing his naked butt, it was a very interesting movie. It's possible that having your best friend as your lover would be the only way to prevent getting your heart broken.

We were having primary school gather tonight. It was pretty cool. We were talking and laughing like crazy at Ruby Tuesday.

New Office

2011-10-16T00:45:00.001+08:00

It is the first day for our team to move to our new office in Leighton Centre. I actually miss working in Lee Gardens. I mean I have been working in that building for over a year. Both my previous and current companies are based in this building. Anyway, we are now down graded to Leighton Centre. I don't really like the setting here.

Boring Day

2011-10-14T23:17:00.001+08:00

Carmen and I swapped duty for today. I think she had plan for tomorrow or something. I don't mind actually. Therefore, I am off for another day. I mean I am always alone anyway. Just everyone seemed always busy and I am so tired to organize gather, so I ended up being alone all the time.

It's my mom's Birthday. I bought her purple roses. We went to have sushi for dinner. My dad went home for a bit afterward.

I checked with a travel agency today. Flights to Sydney are so expensive. At some point, I did come up with a thought of going to Canada. What's the point of it though? I think Doris should be going home soon and I don't want visiting my aunt and uncle be my only purpose. I better skipped this thought I guess. Alone at Tim Hortons during Thanksgiving might not be fun after all. Well, even that's not Canadian Thanksgiving but still.

Doctor Day

2011-10-13T22:59:00.000+08:00

Laying in bed for hours, Mal made me found a thermometer. I did find one and I didn't have a temperature. Boring day.

I then went to the doctor. I've got a cold. Didn't want it to get any worse.

Bought new nail color from Revlon. It's called crème brûlée. It's like a nude/ cappuccino color on your hands.

Cranky?

2011-10-13T00:06:00.003+08:00

I was listening to my nurse and having something lighter for breakfast. I went to fast food shop for a bowl of mac with eggs and tomato.

I was on the morning shift today. Still very tired the whole day. I guess it was just because of sitting right in front of a computer for too long. Before getting off from work, we had meeting regarding the bonus plan. We wouldn't be getting our bonus till June 2012. It doesn't really matter I guess.

Tired

2011-10-11T22:34:00.001+08:00

I guess I am not so used to going to work at 745am these few days. In additional to my stomach, I was extremely tired at work. Little bit distracted. I am worried about Mal. He went to bed at 7pm. I hate that I've never been there when something happened.

I've just found this beautiful picture online. The dress is so elegant!

Ordinary day

2011-10-10T23:08:00.001+08:00

Another working day. Nothing special I guess. It was great talking to Mal during lunch. It kind of reminded me of college. I used to do that everyday. He told me to eat a lot every time. I miseed spending time with him. Sigh.

Heard news from Jessica, it seemed that her boyfriend would be coming back to Hong Kong for good. How sweet! They don't have to do the LDR anymore.

My stomach is still not feeling so well. I passed the spicy hotpot gather. I don't want it to get any worse, so I better listen to the nurse.

Bridesmaids

2011-10-09T23:49:00.000+08:00

This morning, we went to the cemetery. I know it has already passed Chung Yeung Festival, a lot of people still went to the cemetery today though. The weather today was terribly hot. I can't believe it. I mean the temperature was getting lowered.

My stomach wasn't feeling so well still. Mal was pretty sweet and stayed up late for a little. We talked about tons of stuff, even those topics were supposed to be talked through when we were closer. Wish he could be here.

At night, I watched Bridesmaids. It was a pretty funny movie. It wasn't as out of control as The Hangover of course.

Lazy Dayoff

2011-10-08T23:10:00.003+08:00

I am having two days off this weekend. I could spend some more time with Mal. We spent hours together. I miss that. Just wish he could be here.

I didn't do much today. Just listened to Mal and went out to get something to eat. Then I went to the Pacific Coffee so as to catch up some reading. I was clumsy enough to spill my coffee on the floor. the barista was nice enough to get me another coffee. I seriously felt bad. Clumsy me. I think I've spilled water at work for a few times already.

Alone

2011-10-08T00:02:00.000+08:00

We fought again. It sucks to fight every other day. What happened to us? Then I've got a note saying that he was going to the hospital. I was freaked out and started googling hospital stuff. You would be amazed by the numbers of hospitals in New York. I almost started calling... I know it was stupid but I just didn't know what else I could have done.

In additional to my stomach condition, I couldn't really concentrate at work. Glad I didn't get any complaints to work on. Just don't wanna mess up.

After work, my dad went home. I decided to stay at the mall till he left. There are moments in life that you feel like you belong to nowhere. Nothing is worse than not knowing where to call home all of a sudden I guess. I was wandering around in the superstore. Everything I saw, just reminded me of him. He said those gummies were not just gummies, they had vitamin. He used to drink the chocolate flavoured soy milk which didn't taste like soy milk at all. He liked the salt and vinegar flavoured chips just like I always did. He said he was gonna make me fall in love with grapes one day.

LDR

2011-10-07T01:00:00.000+08:00

I wasn't feeling so well the whole day. I guess I caught a cold. After work, Alan and I went out for dinner. It was good to talk to someone in a LDR. I mean there are a lot of things that people in a normal relationship would never understand.

Tired

2011-10-04T22:58:00.001+08:00

I didn't sleep until 2am this morning. I am just sick of the distances. It sucks. How come it could be so unfair to us.

Didn't sleep so well. I gotta go back to work earlier for the training. We were having lecture on the topic of cultural differences. It was interesting. Just like reliving my Business Communication class at school. I guess it would have been better if I wasn't feeling that bad. It would be great if I could listen to his voice saying he would support me or just being closer.

I have realized that I haven't been doing any sketching or writing or whatsoever for over a year. Passion is something needed to be built with leisure money and time. Who really truly found their passions from their jobs? I mean it's not like being yelled at daily was my passion.

Training

2011-10-03T23:50:00.000+08:00

I was talking to Mal till 2am last night. Glad he came back before I headed to bed. I miss spending time with him so much.

Going back to work, Chris has prepared hours of training for us. It was quite informative, about where we were heading as a team and as a company. They even hired an adviser to brief us about cultural differences tomorrow. Therefore, I would be going to work earlier.

My stomach is not feeling so well lately. I guess that's what would happen after years of eating too fast, excessive coffee and etc.

Ruby Tuesday Again

2011-10-01T23:08:00.000+08:00

Rae, Millie, Wendy and I finally got together today! We haven't met each other for so long. I missed having a nice meal and talking about anything with my buddies from college. We ended talking for hours at Ruby Tuesday. It was cool.

During our lunch, there were big protest along the Canton Road. It was National Day. It happens every year. Just never really see it myself.

After hours of catching up, we went to this make up store I have been wanting to go. I bought the Skinsonic! I have read review about it. People always compare to the Clarisonic and consider the Skinsonic as an affordable substitute.

Work at home

2011-09-29T21:27:00.002+08:00

Early morning, I woke up and found out that the HK Observatory has released the typhoon signal no.8. Brian told us that we didn't have to go back to the office because of the insurance problem. After a few hours, I received messages from Brian through Whatsapp. We were required to log onto our systems at home and work on emails. It was kind of disappointing. I mean I thought I wouldn't have to work AT ALL! I didn't even have time to spend with Mal, even if I had access to. Also, it has been very annoying that there was a super customer kept coming back!!!!

During lunch, I went out for lunch. The weather wasn't really that bad actually, just a bit windy.

Remember what we were talking about last night about honeymoon. That should be one of the sweetest things he had done so far. Would be great if we were actually together when we talked about it. Just the destination wouldn't really matter, but the person I'm with.

Honeymoon

2011-09-29T00:28:00.000+08:00

Back from work, talking to Mal. He was just so sweet. Can't believe he dropped note for honeymoon place. I love it when he was doing these sorta stuff.

Westlife Gravity Tour 2011

2011-09-28T01:00:00.000+08:00

It was another busy day but I am glad that I could leave on time.

After work, I headed to the AsiaWorld-Expo for the Westlife concert immediately. I have been waiting for it for months! Finally! I've got there before 7pm. I grabbed a sandwiched at Subway before the show. Then I headed inside the hall for some souvenirs!!! I only bought a tourbook this year.

I successfully got out of the crowd at the souvenir counter. I then tried to find my seat. My seat was very close to the stage! 4th row. Glad it was a relatively small hall.

The show didn't start till 9pm! 1 hour delay!! When the show started, all the fans went crazy. They were just trying to run into the front. Luckily security was trying to stop them. All else, my view would be blocked!

Overall, the show was good but it was too short!! It was only 1.5 hour long! When I was on my way home, 2 girls saw my tourbook and they started to ask me if they were Westlife. I guess Westlife does get a few songs that everyone knows. They were so funny and started to look up the songs they knew on their iphone.

Long Time no Talk

First day back to work, I was so tired. It was another busy day. Brian is finally back from London. Stuff started to get back to normal. We had so much fun making fun of his new haircut. Just like a dollop of whip cream on his head!! I just don't get it. How come Asian guys love to do awkward stuff to their hair. I am glad that Mal doesn't have a habit of using a bottle of hair gel a day.

After work, I called Rebecca, who is now in Australia. We talked for awhile. I haven't heard her voice for a year!! She was asking when I would be going to visit her.

Apollo 18

2011-09-25T23:20:00.002+08:00

It was the last day of my 3 days off. I'll be going to back to work on Monday.

I didn't do much today either. I think the medicines from my doctor were relatively strong or I am just getting older. I mean medicines, which claimed to be causing drowsiness, didn't really work on me. Just lately, when I took these sorta med in the day time, I do get dizzy.

This evening, my mom and I went to watch Apollo 18. This movie was said to be the "found footage" recorded what happened to Apollo 18. According to the footage, Apollo 18 mission wasn't canceled. It was covered because of what happened on the Moon.

No matter if it was the truth or not, this movie was pretty intense in some way. Some people said it was similar to Cloverfield. For me, I think it was much better. I would call it another alien conspiracy movie.

Dayoff

Another day off, glad I didn't receive any work call this morning. I guess I am just not important enough. I don't know if it was a good thing or bad thing.

I didn't do much today. I just went out to have a cup of coffee at the Pacific Coffee. Just to wait for my mom to get done with her work. We then went to my uncle's for BBQ... Again...

One Day

2011-09-24T00:16:00.001+08:00

Early morning, I've got a phone call from Ronny. I just didn't have choice but to call back. It turned out to be having me to say what I've written in the email. After the call, I just laid in bed since Mal has already gone to sleep.

I went to the movie myself this evening. I have been wanting to watch it for a while. It was a very good movie. A story about 2 friends who have known each other for over 20 years. They were so attached to each other in some way even they only saw each other once a year.

Jessica and I planned to go back to work earlier since it was the last day of the sample sales and we still didn't get anything. We decided to go back a bit earlier because of the further mark down. Finally we bought something. I bought a silk cardigan in degrade slate blue color. I like the color. The originally price of it was HKD11,000 and I bought that for HKD550. Pretty cool price for a 100% silk made in Italy cardigan.

It was another busy day. I've received another complaint call. When I first listened to him on the phone, he kept asking where the centre is located. After telling him about our location, he was like you are based in HK, that's alright I will try to speak really slowly. I mean wtf?! He seriously talked like I was an idiot or something. Anyway, I've dropped down his information and known he should be Korean who studied oversea. Shouldn't you pay more respect when you are Asian yourself?

Our boss started to push us work on the emails. It was quite annoying. I mean we are all grown-ups after all. We could see what could be done on the system. I just hate to see all these felling apart. It didn't take much to break a relationship in a workplace.

We fought again. I don't know what have happened to us lately. We ignored each other for over 30 minutes and said something first because I couldn't take it anymore. As always. That sucks.

Sigh

2011-09-22T00:29:00.001+08:00

I've got back to work earlier today. Our team is really short on staff these few days. We have been working our butt off. By the way, I've got yelled at again today. Twice. Fun. I don't know why I get that a lot. That's so annoying. Mal is hating it more than I am.

At night, Jessica, Alan and I went out for dinner. We were having so much fun talking about stuff at work and etc. We were talking till 11pm! I am really glad that I have colleagues that I could have fun with. That's rare for any other jobs. I mean what's better than having a big laugh with your co-workers after a terrible day. Jessica has been telling me to visit my boyfriend as well. I just don't know how to explain how much I want to go, especially all the long distance couples I know have been doing very well lately. I do get a bit jealous. I guess I just have to wait for the surprises.

I could finally talk to Mal tonight. I hate that I would never know what's happening on his side until later. Emergency or not.

Busy Day

2011-09-20T23:25:00.001+08:00

It has been a very busy day. Everyone was busy doing different follow up jobs. It was crazy. We started to notice all the terrible cases always happen whenever Brian was on leave or in London.

I miss my guy so much.

Burberry SS2012

2011-09-20T00:34:00.000+08:00

The Burberry Prorsum SS2012 wasn't bad. You can totally tell the craftsmanship from all the hand-braided handbags and coats. I did find a few pieces a really like from the collection but overall I think it is not really wearable for most people, especially for the super long dress and coat.

On the other hand, the accessories are pretty nice. They tried to integrate new elements with the "check". They are totally seasonal items considering the materials used and the colours.

Sale

2011-09-20T00:16:00.000+08:00

I got back to work early for the staff sale today. It was quite disappointing I must say. I ddin't get anything. I think among our team, Ronny was the only one who could actually find something nice.

We were relatively busy at the evening. It happens everyday.

When I got home, I spent some time with my silly guy before watching the Spring/ Summer 2012 fashion show livestream online. Frankly, I could only find a few stuff I like. Aviator and Biker theme are still my favorite out of so many seasons.

Egyptian Food

2011-09-18T23:51:00.002+08:00

This morning Millie, Rae and I went to Central for a taste of Egyptian cuisine. We arrived at Habibi Cafe at around 1pm. Originally, we wanted to go to the Habibi Restaurant but it turned out they are close on Sunday. We ordered the menu special. Mainly lamb. The pasta and the lamb with tomato sauce were pretty good. The spices used for the appetizer were way too strong though.

After lunch, we went to have frozen yogurt. I still prefer berries flavors or the original. The cream brulee tasted very like the true cream brulee I must say. As Central was still the place for all the luxury brands, we decided to go to Causeway bay. That's right, Causeway Bay, where my office is located. We went to the new Waffle Yo to try out the Waffle Stick. It was so good. I think Mal would like it. You can true different syrups as well.

We ended our gather at Zoe Cafe. We literally sat there and chatted for around 3 hours. The coffee and the cake there were pretty good. I was surprised that it would charge 10% service charge as well.
