一個人, 華人心

I shouldn't be writing blog cuz I should be doing homework / studying.

But since I haven't talked to anyone for days, I feel the need to talk / communicate.

I went to walmart and bought a coffee machine cuz there're no starbucks around where I live.

It's only 10 bucks but it works perfectly well.

I bought grounded expresso (starbucks brand)

The description says "taste this richly flavored toasted caramelized coffee beans"

hehe - sounds good.

It's tastes ok too.

I woke up by a wrong # phone call this morning.

I answered the phone "wei"

hehe...when I'm not sober, my intrinsic language is Chinese.

Since I don't have a TV here, I've been spending an awful lot of time surfing videos on youtube.

Everytime when I see HK ppl / HK scenary, I miss being there so much.

I used to study abroad briefly when I was younger, I didn't miss home, I was very excited to be away from home cuz I had so much freedom.

Maybe I'm getting older and I like being around relatives / ppl I know.

I'm scared cuz I'm approaching 30. (Can't tell you guys how many more years before I hit that big #)

Things I miss, e.g. having my relatives called me on moon festival / chinese new year etc and asked me to have dinner in grandmother's apartment.

My grandmother can cooks really well. If you guys have tried her cooking, you'll know what I'm talking about.

My grandmother is a very family oriented woman. She treats her relatives really really nice.

I don't have many friends in HK, but my phone do ring every now and then.

In here, my phone never rung.

My youngest cousin is 4 years old. He always talked gibberish to me when I see him.

I used to be the youngest person in the family. I feel this role shift and I'm one of the grown up now.

Have you guys seen "The painted veil"?

I love this movie. I watched it in DVD and I watched in 3 times in 1 day continuously.

This is one of the movie that I really love. The other one is "The cider house rules"

Oh...there's another good one "the butterfly effect"

If I have spare money, I may buy the DVD.

I did a search to watch videos clips of "the painted veil" in youtube.

It came up with "over the edge - the painted veil movie review"

I clicked on it, there were 3 fat white women discussing their thoughts about this movie.

One of them said "I don't understand why Edward insisted to take Naomi to the cholera village"

The other one said "Cuz maybe deep down, he wished she'll die from cholera so he doesn't need to divorce her"

NO! NO! NO!

Edward loves Naomi so much. He never wanted her to die. He's taking her to the cholera village because he loves her so much and he didn't know what to do / how to deal with her affair with Charles Townson.

So...he took her with him so he can owns her and he can stopped her from being around Charles townson.

I think the 3 middle age white women's responses reflected their self centered oriented culture.

(I don't mean all white ppl are like that, but that's my general feelings about white people's culture)

There's one scene in the movie, Naomi said to Charles "Do I make you happy like how you make me happy?"

That's the speech when a person loves another person purely (meaning : not because of money or anything) would say.

Have you guys said this to anyone before?
