Fighting!

The news tonight said, by the end of this century, the winter in Hong Kong would not go lower than 10c. As much as I love tropical climate, I wouldn't mind actually, given if I was still alive in this world.

So I quite enjoyed the Chinese new year this year. It's so warm that I only needed to wear short-sleeves and a skirt.

Today I finally finished cleaning up my room! Yeah~ For those dear friends who have come visit before, they'd know what an horrific sight that was, but now, the desk and the piano and the floor is all revealig again!

I also cleaned the floor today, and that made me happy. (Even though I don't do it often, I have an obsession with floor cleaning, I think it's from the story of Cinderella.)

Unlike many people I know, I like going bai nin during cny. Besides getting red pockets, I enjoy gossiping with cousins and updating the "adults" about my life. Yes I know I'm some kind of a narcissist.

My holiday mood is finally coming to a halt and I'm so ready to go back to the battlefield tomorrow. During the past four months I've been trying out so many different tasks that though it's fun, it's hard to get focused and dig into one area and be really good at it. I missed the days when I called up interviewees and they already knew me by name. Starting from tomorrow, I shall have my butt down at banking and make some news that people care.

Right now I'm letting the dye to do its trick to my hair, my top layer of hair will be black again in a second. New look again tomorrow. =)

Eve called yesterday and wished me finding a rich man so that I could do something I like and (I think what she meant was "even though") it's low-paid, and I was like, huh, I'm already in a job I desire and it's certainly low-paid, but yeah, thanks, I'd love to find a rich man too.

I was reminded of a story and it somewhat goes like this.

A retired business man was in a village for vacation. One afternoon he went strolling down the seashore, and saw a young man who just lied there and did nothing and looked lazy. So he said to the young man, young man, you should work hard while you're still young, so that when you retired, you would have enough money to live a good life like me. Then the young man asked, wow, what kind of a good life you're living now? The retired business man proudly answered, I now could spend as much time by the sea and rest and admire the beauty of natue as I desire! The young man laughed and went back to sleep, I'm already doing that now, why do i need to wait till I retire?

If the same logic applies, is it true that I don't actually need a rich man anymore?!

farewell the chick

Is it the coldness, or is it my mind? I've been down in this helplessly uncontrollable food craving trough again.

Life overwhelmed by fatique and the lack of short term anticipation. I sounded almost the same a year ago. The same Chinese new year.

Can't see a long term one either, but that's what keep my life going, because I want to get there and find out what's awaiting me. The job and the man. Destiny is funny. I can only play along with it, and try to take it lightly.

I wonder what's wrong. I don't feel the stress or the sadness during the day, but there've been times at night I woke up in tears. Some feelings are surfacing again.

唱衰

早陣子，看到有報導指香港機場是肥彭一大貢獻、稱讚機場設計如何在世界上領先芸芸，又舉出現時特區政府的迪士尼如何一敗塗地，我心想，當年機場剛開始運作時，也不是被香港傳媒批得體無完膚嗎？！我又回想，每當香港有何新「開張」時，（最近的世貿亦是一例子），永遠只有負面新聞總是一大堆，但若看國內有關報導，卻寫得好好的。究竟是否香港傳媒心理不平衡，總喜歡唱衰家裡的東西？

今天，我好像亦加入唱衰行動的行例；好像明白了，有時真的不唱衰不行。因為根本就是衰！

亞洲國際博覽館開幕，我當然不會興奮，還好轉了beat，否則以後常要跑到機場工作，實在是一大苦差。我就想，誰會樂意跑到老遠去看展覽。但政府說，有很好的配套設施，位置亦有其優勢，可吸引買家在去內地途中，先到展館看看，再轉機或船，不用花到市區的時區，方便得很。之前聽著只有半信半疑。

今天是博覽館的首場展覽，去到只見冷清得可憐。參展商和買家都投訴，位置不方便，而且買家很少即場決定下訂單的，當然是吸引他們留港幾天最好，誰要他們立即走。

所以我今天的唱衰行動，全都是所見所聞，並無主觀情感。可能，傳媒唱衰家，真是情非得已吧。

我祝我2006年快樂

倒數沒有特別興奮，但與幾位親愛的朋友一起過就很好了。互相祝願：賺多些錢，找個好男人。這個年紀，都就是這兩個願望。回顧2005年，我十分滿足：充實、多姿多彩；就希望今年也是這樣。

今晨六點半走在銅鑼灣街頭，發覺香港充滿了失意、可悲的人。大城市總是落寞的。街頭半數都是醉客，吐的吐、罵的罵；更有打架、碎玻璃瓶、踢翻垃圾桶的，盡是瘋子。而且都是男人。

祝大家有美好的新一年。新年快樂。
