First Puff

Brian trick me!!1 He was sick for the past few days and doctor advice him to smoke lesser (duh..). WHen I came home, he was in the kitchen smoking and he ask me do I want to try. He claimed that the one he is smoking is the herbal kind of cigratte which is made to help people stop smoking. I seen that kind of cigratte before and therfore I BELIVED HIM!!!

I didnt suck reallly hard and therefore I dont puff those really BIG BIG smoke out. The minute I felt heat inside my mouth, I stopped!! Then only he tell me - THATS THE NORMAL CIGRATTE!!!!! Just that its mentol, which has a cooler sensation.
To my surprise, I didnt hate the feeling as much as I thought will be. Its actually nothing. Maybe its because I had mentol instead of the normal type which is warmer and smeller (i think). The feeling of smoking to be honest is actually quite nice! haha. I dont know why I am saying that, but I think its pretty goood. But that doesnt mean I support and encourage smoking.
The feeling is nice but the act of smoking is stupid!! Why burn money when you can use the money for other matters like SHOPPING??? Haha.
Thats why I dont think I will get hook up with smoking, whenever I think of the money being BURN BURN BURN BURN!!!

Went to TK MAX today. Dont know what drive me there. WHile working, all in the sudden, got the urge to go to TK MAX to look at their bags. And there I went. Haha.
I lost the NIKE bag during the last break in, thats why I bought another one, nicer.. haha.. by Timberland. Then I bought something quite chilidsih I would say - a small back bag frm Bilabong. -_-.
AND AND AND AND>.. I bought the milk shake beater. Haha. The one Cecila used to beat the egg and sugar. Haha. Its meant for milk shake but she used that for the cake. So, I bought that too!! haah. when I go back, I can do my own milk shake!! * Wee *
Aiyah.. and another aunty utensil I bought - TELFON POT!!! Hahaha!!! Specially for me to cook maggie and soup!! LOL.. haha!!! GOing to bring all those back!! Cause its not cheap!!

Phew... finally the end of another day. Went to Natwest to gao dim some matters. FINALLY!!! Been dragging that matter for weeks. The lady incharge at the Customer Service desk already recognize me reallyl well =). I LOVE her as she has really goood PR and she's super duper friendly (maybe because of her smile). I think I should vote her as the BEST Natwest desk supporter. Haha. Bought some fruits from the stall at the end of the street. Have not seen them during the Winter and all in the sudden they pop out form no where in the beginning of Spring. Maybe Winter's just too cold for them to stand whole day. I am soooo stupid to ask the STUPIDest question. I ask the lady whether is the strawberry they're selling sweet or not. OF COURSE THEY WOULD SAY SWEEEEET!!!! >,<'' The first thing I did when I come home - test the strawberries!!! Luckily its still abit sweet but definately not the kind of sweetness they mention. Brian's sick because the change of weather. So we had congee for dinner. May he get well soon.

Drunk -_-

I was totally in SHOCK when she collapsed right in front of my eyes.
I was super lucky today. When the bus came, the driver only allow 2 person go on board. Amd he was reallly fierce shouting the people who tried to go on board (the 3rd person) =P.

The lady was already standing at the entrance when I went on board, drunk and mumbling to her phone. She kept on offering people sweets and talking to herself really LOUD. It seems that she just got her mortgage settle. I guess she just had a couple of drinks to celebrate.
Someone accidentally stepped on her shoe and she went mad and shouted, "You know how much this shoe cost??!!"

Then the bus made a small turn and there she went - BANG!!!! She felt down, lying flat in the entrance. She was knocked out for a few seconds. The driver called HQ and wanted an ambulance. Next minute she's awake and refused to go to the hospital.
She then said something to the driver and some how it piss the driver off and send her off at the next stop.

Damn man the people here, start drinking when the sky is still bright!! ---___---. I think she's a french cause of her acent.

霍元甲

Okay, I written this post weeksss ago and have always unable to complete it. haha. So here it goes...

This is what I call a true Chinese Martial Art movie. Compared to Jackie Chan's movie, Jet Li has better quality movie. Jackie Chan uses too much special effect, giving me a feeeling that he's trying too hard to make a Hollywood movie. I think that includes Jet Li's - UNLEASH.
I dont really like to see Asians in a Hollywood movie. I dont mean I am not proud that Chinese is being able to be on Hollywood stage. I just got the feeling they sort of sell themselves to the westerners and lost the Chinese quality in them. Especially in most of Jackie Chan's movie. He is more like a clown than a respectable actor to me. That doesnt make me not impress and respect him. In the Asian World, I truely respect him as a actor, a person who give 200% on his work and acting. Just dont quite agree with his acting in Hollywood, thats all.

I am too glad Jet Li took up this movie. All the martial art was SUPERB and its REAL martial art. I believe some special effect were added in it, but its not obvious. It didnt make the picture fake, it helps to intensify every movement and make things even more exciting and REAL. Unlikely Jackie Chan's super special effect. It make everything looked so fake.

Chinese martial arts is very much different compared to others. It portraits gracefulness and power at the same time. Every movement looks so soft and light while others are more stiff and mechanical wise. Even when using weapon, it still have the elegant feeling. Every movement is just an art. Chinese martial arts doesnt only emphasis in power and speed. It also have the soft side. Sometimes using the soft way to encounter great force is the way to win. Maybe thats what Tao's teaching is (I think. Someone definately but not sure who it was. haha) 以柔克刚 (Using tenderness to encounter great force).

Anyway, back to the movie. I think its a good movie, but not SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER GOOD till I want to DIE. Beside the excellent martial art, I learn something from it. Something we always know but dont really practise and truely understand the meaning of it. Which is knowing when to let go... Mostly of the time, we are being too rigid in handling matters. We cant take NO for an answer, cant accept failure. All that might drive us to desperation, ENORMOUS bt unneccesary preasure. Some might even bring disaster.
I always understand this theory but find it VERY VERY tough to put it in practise. But some how this movie sort of make me realize how its should be done. Hence I am always trying to apply this theory in my life.
I got to admit there are alot of moments (especially in UK) where I put alot of preasure on myself for something beyond my control or something that is just unchangeable, something in the PAST. I am starting to learn how to let go, starting to find another alternative and dont be too stubborn in certain matter, just because its beyond our control. Life might be abit eassier.
执着(rigid)... the thing that is in EVERYONE. Who ever can truly practise the meaning of letting go, he would be a HAPPY MAN. Its because of this, Huo Yuen Jia (In the movie) lost his family, because of his obsesss towards winning winning and winning. It was too late for him to understand that.

When I saw Jet Li's interview in a taiwan talkshow. I REALLY RESPECT HIM MAN!!! He was the winner for this thing in china for 5 times - Gold Medal. No one had beaten him that time!!! GENG AH!!! Then it seems that its true taht he USED TO BE an arrogant person. Based on the statement he made about the movie Huo Yuen Jia. He said the movies its about Huo Yuen Jia and him wit 42 years of life experience. So does that mean he was actually as arrogant as Huo Yuen Jia? I believe he has the qualification to be a arrogant person. He is good looking (for a martial art artist really geng la.. compared to jackie chan or sammul hong, lol), he is a good actor, he won so much gold medal etc.
Luckily he came to his consious and learn that no one is the GREATEST in this world. Respect ~




This is one of the songs for Huo Yuen Jia movie by JAY CHOU * WEE *
~ LOVE LOVE LOVE ~
I LOVE the chinese instruemnts used in this song - Pi Pa, Gu Zheng, Di (Which is the best!!!)
Jay has the talent to blend in all this awesome chinese instruement into something western.
PROPS to Jay = )

Last Minute Packing

Tomorrow will be going down to London but I had yet pack my stuff (12am). I am using the small orange suite case and guess what Dan said. How you think you are going to be away???
I didnt want to take that but I have NO CHOICE!!! Since the last break in last year, that FELLA took my new Nike travelling back, I didnt buy another one. So... no choice.
I didnt take ALOT of clothes. Just 2 bottoms and 3 tops (for emergency).
Hopefully it will be a good trip. (Which the truth is NO!! As I m posting this after the trip. haha)

I wanted to buy Indian Takeaway for Dan as I got my pay today. But today's wind is really toooo strong and cold for us to stay outside, so I decided I might get that tomorrow. Guess what, he called at 10.30pm and say he WANTS Indian Takeaway!! So... I went out alone to get him that!!! Its been ages we last had Indian takeaway. It taste GREAT!!!!!! Bought Potato Balti (Specially made for me as its not in the menu) and the lamb dupiaza.WAH LIAO!!! It taste HEAVENLY!!! I swear it does taste like that!! You cant find that kind of cooking in Malaysia!! All the herbs and spices!! SHIT GOOD!!! Malaysia's indian food can SAO PEI!!!

We had something different for lunch, GREGGS. Haha. Walk out from the office at 12.30pm to Northumberland Street to get some breads. Its my first time going to Greggs during lunch hour. Man the queue is LONG. Luckily Guai Lou not as 'good' as Asian. I can see how chaotic the shop will be if its in Malaysia.Got myself a Chargill Chicken Wrapped. MAN THAT TASTE SUPER SUPER GOOD!!! Always I have Cheese and Onion pastry, decided to try something different. Will get that more often =) As we spent more time during lunch time, I was very behind (as usual). WOrk my backside up during the whole afternoon. But my frustration is not as big as Stacey's. Her wrist is hurting her + bad mood = HELL. She got so grumpy and frustrated that she curse curse and curse. While I just kept on typing with the usual speed and ignoring her. Now I am starting to learn that, sometimes dont put too much preasure over yourself and do things the usual way you do. It might cause me to go home later, but at least I wont feel streesss. Its not taht you wont be able to go home when you finish late. So why all the preasure and fuss? Although there is a certain level of preasure (definatlely) but dont take it too seriously. After finishing the batch, I started packing my stuff. Its my last day in Linda's team. From the 1st March onwards, we are offically under Helen. As I am off from Monday to Wednesday, I got to moved my stuff there today.When I pass the piegon to Linda, I was kinda sad. I hav been under her for a year, that sure means something. After all she's a not bad manager who gives us chocolated during Easter =) and being nice to us all. Before I leave UK, I will definately see her and give her a present as a token of appreciation of all the things she done for me. When I went to my new desk, I finallly understand what did the other stuff mean by the P1 stuffs being irresponsible. They make a mess out of your desk by throwing all bands all over the table and papers clips all around. AND they are REALLY noisy >,<. Besides the people, the other thing bad about the place I am sitting is - THE PHONE. Its not bad, just that I am afraid I need to pick up the phone calls when it rings!! AH!!! I dont want!!! Reason 1) I dont know how to take message 2) I dont know the people there 3) I am afraid I cant hear the Joddy slang!! 4) It will definately effect my output if I got to pick up the calls.!! If I am really call to pick up the phone, I will definately tell Helen I CANT!! The funniest thing when I know my seating is - SHIT, I CANT SLEEP AT WORK ANYMORE!! Cause its delibrately next to the manager's table!!! AH!! Did they do it in purpose or its just a coincidence!! Now I got to think of a way to make myself AWAKE for the whole day!! After work, went to Boots to check whether can we buy diabetic medicine without a doctor's prescription. Apparently YOU CANT! Its for Chef's mum in China. Guess why? According to her friend, he/she had this medicine from UK and 'recovered'. Its impossible to recover from diabetes. So, I ended up going to DP and got myself a jacket and a pair of socks. Hehe. I over heard something in the changing room. A mother took her daughter for shopping and the daughter tried on a skirt, and the mother was like crazy over the daughter's look on the skirt. Kept on saying, " You look so gorgerous in the skirt, you really look so beatiful. OMG, it suites you... YOU must buy this.. How much is it?? Oh, no matter how much it is WE MUST BUY it cause you loook sooooooooo beautiful in it!!! YOU DESERVES THAT no matter how much is that!!!!! ..." I had goose bumps in the changing room. How I wish my mum's like that, especially for the YOU DESREVES TAT NO MATTER HOW MUCH IS IT!!! I really miss those days where I go shopping with mum and she pays for everything! And a person to give you a second opinion. I found this little jacket and couldnt decided whether should I buy anot... if someone's there with me, I can decide better. Cant wait to go home!!!
