so long...

haven't updated this blog since one month before pp was born... life has changed thus far.

for my record...

one more day before dragon boat festival, two more days before shopping night, three more days before weekend, four more days before May ends, 5 more days before my final 3 weeks...

dragon boat festival - public holiday on thursday -- better than nothing, but even better if it's on a Friday or Monday

shopping night - @ Sogo for baby stuff with the semi-annual sale + hxxx 10% rebate, need to ask k & w to help contribute the credit cards to maximize the rebate amount...

weekend - another home re-engineering weekend for the arrival of pp

May ends - and June is coming

final 3 weeks - before my long leave... feel likes i'm changing jobs -- in fact, i have never taken a leave so long even between jobs...

new blog for mon petit prince

That's How You Know

http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/enchanted/thatshowyouknow.htm

Giselle:
How does she know you love her?
How does she know she's yours?

Man:
How does she know that you love her?

Giselle:
How do you show her you love her?

Both:
How does she know that you really, really, truely love her?
How does she know that you love her?
How do you show her you love her?
How does she know that you really, really, truely love her?

Giselle:
It's not enough to take the one you love for granted
You must remind her, or she'll be inclined to say...
"How do I know he loves me?"
(How does she know that you love her?
How do you show her you love her?)
"How do I know he's mine?"
(How does she know that you really, really, truely love her?)

Well does he leave a little note to tell you you are on his mind?
Send you yellow flowers when the sky is grey? Heyy!
He'll find a new way to show you, a little bit everyday
That's how you know, that's how you know!
He's your love...

Man:
You've got to show her you need her
Don't treat her like a mind reader
Each day do something to need her
To believe you love her

Giselle:
Everybody wants to live happily ever after
Everybody wants to know their true love is true...
How do you know he loves you?
(How does she know that you love her?
How do you show her you need her?)
How do you know he's yours?
(How does she know that you really, really, truely-)

Well does he take you out dancin' just so he can hold you close?
Dedicate a song with words in
Just for you? Ohhh!

All:
He'll find his own way to tell you
With the little things he'll do
That's how you know
That's how you know!

Giselle:
He's your love
He's your love...

That's how you know
(la la la la la la la la)
He loves you
(la la la la la la la la)
That's how you know
(la la la la la la la la)
It's true
(la la la la la)

Because he'll wear your favorite color
Just so he can match your eyes
Rent a private picnic
By the fires glow-oohh!

All:
His heart will be yours forever
Something everyday will show
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know!

Giselle:
He's your love...

Man:
That's how she knows that you love her
That's how you show her you love her

Giselle:
That's how you know...
That's how you know...
He's your love...

迷惑你...

... 是我畢生的事業

關心妍~負擔不起
Ah~~huh~~
明天一覺睡醒　會是怎麼的情形
從來沒感覺到　是這心境無論冷與暖
也不起勁很想放聲　很想痛哭
在這世界裡我最孤獨
那天空多廣闊　圍著我的是滿載回憶的空屋

*如果　讓我可將功補過
換我再不必哭這麼多
還為你我之間的故事　換個結果
人怎麼懂得了更多
人怎麼懂得了認錯
來到　快要失去　嘗試過苦楚
At the end of the day
我最需要的是你　不是誰
無能力失去你　像快枯死
如像缺氧　我負擔不起
At the end of the day
我最疼愛的是你　不是誰
我有否這福氣
在我每天醒來後
沉淪在你的體溫與氣味
迷惑我的心
Ah~~ Repeat*

Definitely, Maybe

two words that do not agree with one another, but often be put together...

and there is a movie with this name, don't know if it's worth a watch? definitely, maybe... ;)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0832266/plotsummary

Romantic comedy: Will Hayes, a 30-something Manhattan dad is in the midst of a divorce when his 10 year old daughter, Maya, starts to question him about his life before marriage. Maya wants to know absolutely everything about how her parents met and fell in love. Will's story begins in 1992, as a young, starry-eyed aspiring politician who moves to New York from Wisconsin in order to work on the Clinton campaign. For Maya, Will relives his past as a idealistic young man learning the ins and outs of big city politics, and recounts the history of his romantic relationships with three very different women. On the campaign, Will's best buddy is Russell McCormack. They not only have similar political aspirations, they share the same type of girl problems, too. Will hopelessly attempts a "PG" version of his story for his daughter ad changes the names so Maya has to guess who he finally married. Is her mother Will's college sweetheart, the dependable girl next-door Emily? Is she his longtime best friend and confidante, he apolitical April? Or is she the free-spirited but ambitious journalist? As Maya puts together the pieces of her dad's romantic puzzle, she begins to understand that love is not so simple or easy. And as Will tells her his tale, Maya helps him to understand that it's definitely never too late to go back...and maybe even possible to find a happy ending. Written by Orange

Wall. E

the love story line is sweet and heartwarming... simple and pure... the caring scenes after Eve has 'life' inside her; the handholding scenes; the memory-lost scenes; the forehead-touching scenes...

btw, Mo is in the movie, too, and very cute.. ;)

my only complaint is: it would be much better if Wall. E's friend on earth was not a cockroach...

真係無 feel wor...

so many people have asked me recently how i feel about the leaving, how i feel about the future, how i feel about blablabla...

but truly, i don't feel anything -- 真係無 feel wor...

maybe i've been too busy these days with other matters, that the feeling of departure and the new challenges have yet sinked in...

nevertheless, i need to think about what top / bottom / handbag / shoes... to wear on monday morning.. :P

deja vu

wa... ex-colleagues start loading pictures from B.C. time to facebook... scary... hahaha...

哭

Thanks 'Ah Yi' mentioned the following in her blog. I have seen this before and this is a good reminder:

女人不應該為男人哭, 因為這個世界上沒有值得為他流淚的男人， 真正值得的那個根本不捨得讓妳哭

being single is sexy

SATC - Sex and the City, as if you didn't know... well, maybe the guys really don't know..

not a die-hard fan of it, and haven't planned to watch the movie in the cinema, but can't help noticing that a LOT of female (mostly female) columnists in HK and the States have written about it, and more than one quoted the following from Samantha:

"Being single used to mean that nobody wanted you; now it means you're pretty sexy and you're taking your time deciding how you want your life to be . . . and who you want to spend it with."

http://www.philly.com/dailynews/columnists/jenice_armstrong/20080528_Jenice_Armstrong__Are_you_ready_for_SATC_.html

so my single female friends, think positive!!! :)

lost in wanchai

I went to the chinese doctor after work... after having the pulse taken, i went out for dinner (the medicine has to be taken after meals).

I walked towards the direction of chuen yuen street for my favourite curry pork chop rice... and i almost got lost in that area -- i actually missed the intersection to go into chuen yuen street!!! :o

the landscape of that area has been changed dramatically. buildings are pulled down: like kids missing their front teeth -- and there are new space to the skyline (or lack of) i used to see in wanchai...

the new buildings are eye-catchers, too... the renovated Wo Cheung Pawn, the new serviced apartments, the new residential buildins etc...

怎能算?

以為是 PLAN A -- 更新了證件們, 送走了非a的身外物, 開始減輕世俗牽掛...

到頭來... PLAN B 現正進行中...

怎能算? 誰能算?

those were the days...

everything has a price...

price can be tangible, or intangible...
is it always a zero sum game?

every one has a price...

who can name mine?

痕跡...

"being" leaves traces / marks in your life and in others, the most obvious thing is that skin is no long white and smooth with time...

life is no longer a piece of white paper, there are memories, there are write-offs... even if i use pencil on it, eraser can't erase the traces of having been written...

knowing is knowing, experience is experience, you can't un-know a person or un-experience a situation, it's happened, it's there...

somebody says, you are a summation of your experience/past
somebody says, i think, therefore i exist

痕跡, 可以是很浪漫的; 痕跡的國語讀音比廣東話好聽; 痕 - 沒有烙印那麼深刻... A trace, a shadow: 春夢了無痕 vanish like a spring dream without a trace;月影花痕 the shadow of the moon and flowers -- http://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/Lindict/ 跡 - traces, impressions, nothing tangible,
卻有跡可尋
