Pret A Manger Fri Morning

Good morning everyone!

Friday morning. Happy! Joy!

I left the apartment really early this morning.

So I strolled to work today. I walked pass Pret A Manger and I bought a raspberry yogurt - in greek style - that's what's written on the sticker on the box. And a egg & sun dried tomatoes baguette.

hehhe :-p I rarely get breakfast like that in the morning. Just thought...why not? My treat for myself.

I wish I manage to spend 2 hours completing all the work stuff, and the rest of the time, I will do my own things. :-)

每日一星

9:40 am.

I'm late for work as usual. I'm a bad bad girl.

I had to take a taxi to go to the MTR station cuz I was in such a hurry.

I waited for a long time but I couldnt get a taxi.

There's a guy in front of me in the line.

He got a taxi, and I said to him, "where are you going? are you going to the MTR station? Can we share this taxi?"

He said "I'm not going to the MTR station, I'm going to XYZ, but it's ok, we can go to the MTR station, I'll just take an MTR to get there"

WOW he's a STAR, so kind :-)

I insisted to pay for the taxi, but he kept saying no.

He said "next time when you see me lining behind you, let me share the cap with you too"

AWW That's what our society needs - Kindness! :-)

The Night Listener

3 p.m. Saturday. I'm at work.

I started work at 12:30 pm and will finish at 6 pm

I watched 20/20 last night. It talked about Vicki pretended to be a 14 years old boy Tony and chatted with people on the phone for 6 years and those people believed Tony exists.

Someone sold this story and a book was published called "The night listener"

I like the book name.

I have talked to people I've never met / seen on the phone /chatrooms.

I guess it doesn't f***ing matter cuz when it is quite and late at night, and you're bored and lonely, all u want is to chit chat with someone. u don't care what they look like as long as it is a nice chat.

I guess that makes human unique cuz we're affectionate animals and we can have feelings towards things we intereacted with but never seen nor touched.

I read this from somewhere

"I'm lying with XXX (someone) on the lawn in the warm afternoon sun..."

I thought that was a beautiful descriptions.

I also read from the newspaper, someone was fixing an oil painting drew by a famous person (I don't remember who) and he found that on the surface layer, it shows a group of boys playing on the meadow, but underneath that, it is a couple cuddling on the meadow and he wrote "I love thee"

Wow...so romantic.

I wish I can write or draw very well so I can really express my thoughts.

The Louvre. France is Pretty.

The Hall of mirrors.

I feel that I'm kinda affected by the mentally ill people in the center.

I feel like I'm a character in one of those horror movie where he or she doesn't believe in anything, and they work in a hunted hospital / pschiatric rehab hostel, and then strange things happened, and they start to believe things...

Two mentally ill patients described to me how their illness onset. They both said similar stories e.g. they suddenly got really scared and worry one day, and their temper went really bad, that's how they started the mental illness and it went worse day by day.

It seems very scary, cuz you can't prevent and you don't know how you got it.

With regards to the oil painting in the 18th century, I wonder what it feels like to live in those century.

French Toast

I'm having French Toast for breakfast this morning.

Hmm...yum...

志雲飯局

9:30 p.m.

I'm on the bus going home from work.

I worry I'm starting to get mental illness because I always like to write journals ( & talk to myself through writing?)

I'm on the highway. It's dark and quiet outside. I can't see other cars.

Everyday, after I finish work, I feel sad (I usually finish work at 8:30 pm)

I thought "What a long working hrs / shitty day with low paid salary"

I start wotk at 9 am but I always want to get to work at 7 o'clockish (or 8 o'clockish) so I can do some personal stuff.

I've been reading "Tis a memoir" by Frank McCourt.
(I haven't finished the book)

Quotes:

"That's what gives me such pleasure, lying on the bed and thinking of the things you can do that nobody else can interfere with"

"I lie on the bed listening to New York, people talking and laughing, and I wonder if I;ll ever be aprt of the city, out there talking and laughing"

I feel that I'm a crazy person.

Somehow, I came across with some 志雲飯局 videos on youtube last night.

I admire 志雲's mannerism and I wish I can talk like him

• calm presentation
• good verbal skills
• confident.

I wish I have some successful point one day and people will want to interview me and want to know about me.

Eucalyptus

The scent of eucalyptus really relaxes my head and neck.

It takes my headache and neckache away.

Bodyshop used to have eucalyptus scented shampoo. That was my favourite.

I don't know why they don't have it anymore. They replace it with ginger scent.

Maybe eucalyptus is getting very precious and hard to grow?

I have went to many shops to look for ecucalytus shampoo, but I can't find it.

The closest thing I found is eucalytus body wash from Kiehl.

Hmm......too pricey to get a $250 bodywash since my skin is fine.

If I can find a $40 /$50 (working *ass off* class people price) ecualyptus bodywash from Watson's or Mannings, I will definately buy it.

I found a ecualyptus pure eseential oil from Bodyshop. It's $69. I sniff the scent from the tester. ARHHH So bloody nice and soothing and relaxing.

I don't know why I'm so addicted to the eucalytus scent. Maybe I'm a Koala in my previous life?

I went shopping in Festival Walk today.

Hmm...so poor but still spending money.

I bought a hair mask from Kiehl

a tea tree oil facial wipe from bodyshop.

And now I'm sitting in pacific coffee sipping my short no foam latte.

There's a big book shelve behind me and there's a book called "The Art of Impressionist"

I always heard of the term "Impressionist" - a style of oil painting? But I didn't get what that style mean.

Bye ! :-)

Have a look here for more about Impressionism. You've probably come across impressionist images without realising. Try Googling Impressionism and clicking on images to see what impressionist art works look like.

One good point about living in Hong Kong is: You can get dim sum from the Tea House so easily.

Prawn dumpling, Pork dumpling, BBQ pork in rice paper, Fried carrot cake.

Yum... ... so tasty.

A Luxury Morning

Hi :-)

8:54 am

I'm at work already.

I woke up at 2:30 am, went back to sleep, woke up at 3 o'clockish again, went back to sleep, finally got up at 4:30 am...

then surf the net...clean up the apartment a little bit, had a shower, trimmed my nails,

had a hair mask,

exfoliate my skin...

head down to "MIX", had a apple and grapefruit fresh juice + a banana and blueberry muffin,

sat on the window sit, (MIX has very cold AC)

watched ppl rushed to work...

read newspaper

then set off to work.

I went to the graveyard with my relatives yesterday.

(just a once a year memorial family thing)

I guess I had a heat stroke.

My face are burnt

and I had a terrible headache at night.

and I couldnt sleep well.

Today, there's a meeting at work.

I don't know why I feel so anxious about it.

(that's probably one of the reason that makes me feel so restless)
