Well... it did hurt me a bit, um... I know you ve such a strong personality, and I like it very much as a part of you... but sometimes it might hurt me.... Frankly , I didn't angry for your emotion at all after you talk to your client... I do understand how is it happen and I probably do the same when I deal with those stupid people... I was more worry about your feeling than those shitty little things...
What I am talking about is the other conversation about selling makeup products... I haven't thought of it because I was not interested in it at all... I don't think it is impossible for me now but does it mean I was wasting my time if I didn't learn the makeup related things from the job? I felt quite bad with it...
Just wanna say... I m a actually very straight forward person... I always try to do my best on one direction instead of thinking of a lot of different directions and not doing them well. (I only mean myself.... I know you are doing your work very well) Most of the time, I only do what I am interested in. I might do them slowly but I always want to finish them nicely. I don't want to rush myself and do something not even pleasing myself. I never really thought of money seriously when I work on something I m interested. It's good to be with someone who can teach me more about it tho ^_^
I did thought of making my own products lately... But I was thinking about snacks but not makeup... I think I m a bit slow on everything but it doesn't mean I am wasting my time in any point in my life... I do think every little experience count... maybe I didn't learn on that way but I must learn something else from other ways...
haha... I don't know what I m talking now... you are probably even more confused... they don't seems to related to the makeup conversation :P haha anyway... hope that you would understand more about me if you have a chance to read it...

Email to Petra
There are a lot of things that upset me in the office this week... Suddenly I m not allowed to msn in office hour -_- A lot of works in unrealistic schedule... everyone was chasing me for works like every 2 minutes... either him or her or her or her or even him... I mean... it's okay if you let me do it... but if you just keep asking "hows it going" like every 2 mins... it would be super annoying! especially some people like to ask abt the status of works once our bosses step into our office... no matter if she just asked the same question 30 sec before... anyway... I sent a email to Petra today telling her I can't work in this way... it's not making anything more efficient and I do need more flexibility on works. I thought she wasn't in her office and I email her all these.. but when I was about to leave the office and went to say good bye to Tony. She suddenly came and say it's just their unorganise and they will make a realistic time line for me... and gave me a huge~~~ :D it just happen too sudden... and I couldnt make any respones until I went on my car.... I was almost crying lerh... um... very touching at that moment... I was really exhausting and suddenly feel the support lerh... no matter if that real... it works :) and we gonna talk abou tit tmr at 2... see what happen lo...
Sweet sweet...
Today... I've been asked for a kiss :P It was kinda rough... haha... zero sweetness... but it makes it very cool and :P I like it haha.... lalala.. another kinda sweet~~~
Duk Duk Duk Duk was angry :P ...
Didn't have time to write it down yesterday :P I was thinking maybe I shouldn't write it here... seems like he might be angry... but I think even something not super sweet... when we have a chance to read them again... we will probably have a lot of laugh :) um... haha... so... hope that you wont feel bad la...
Duk Duk Duk Duk... (haha I named you like this on my mind for a while already but never tell you :P and you have no choice coz it's just on my mind...) had shown me the work just taken hours ago and share some of them to me... when I think of it now, I really feel sorrty lerh... :P I really shouldn't make this kinda comment (I said they are good but they looks familiar :P)... um... but trust me, I didn't mean to let you down or what, I was thinking to say something to inspire you to make your works nicer. um... I didn't think of it well before emailing ma... forgive me la... (i've been already forgiven ya? :D) haha... no matter what... they are all quality works which you are the only one I know who can do them... And haha... you are the best in my life la :D hehe... xxx

Sweetie Moments
Can you believe it? It's not even a week yet... ahhhhhh......~~~~~~~ Last week I was still thinking maybe I should really take the offer in LA, do whatever shit for a while until things are getting back to normal... save some money and go back to HK to start my own studio... bablbala... I cant see thats a plan honestly :P
The same day of last week... I was still saying to Daat Daat about why is it such a long time we still can't find any one even just a target, not even close...~~ Daat said she was thinking to hang out a bit, like bar or sth, around to meet some people... otherwise it doesn't seems that's any chance she can meet any one... but of cause she didn't la.. :) Its just not her style and she probably wont find her type... And probably that's why I talked to some friends and check out some profile things... and then I've got his contact from Nestor. haha~~~ and now... We've planned to meet in Japan in December... and gonna go a lot of places for diving... probably work together for some projects, how sweet... Feeling even a bit unreal~~~ I always say my life is full of unexpected and uncertain (I always plan things ahead but it always turn out something else not following the plans :P) and that makes life interesting... But then I think sometimes, it might be good to have things happen following plans now :D Well... Indeed it was just another totally unexpected.
Things are suddenly going well, all those shit feeling are gone like a click time... And then I thought, we always forget things too easily, good or bad... When 2 person go together for a while... they forgot how sweet they had been. Forgot how to please each others with just some little things... It might be nice to spend some little time everyday to record those sweetie moments... maybe it will help the relationship someday.
Yesterday I saw the movie, Fur, Nicole Kidman and her husband was actually was almost break up... It was a scene, the husband had been asked to say something to everyone in his wife's bday party. he started saying how did they met blabalblala and then he said, remember the first time I met her, I can't move my eyes off her... And today I look at her. He stared at her for a second, and said I still can't move my eyes off her... It does made a different I guess, at least for a while... what I am trying to say? haha I dont know neither... um... seems that i m becoming a thoughtful person these few days :P:P I mean.. I am thinking too much...
Yup... you picked a photos from my Amsterdam trip, said you can eat that fish everyday... haha I really feel you are in some point of my life :) It's very touching to me somehow :)

Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus (6.5)
See? how long haven't I write anything about movie... you can tell how long didn't i see a movie... I wanted to see it since it was on screen... but almost forgot to buy its DVD until I saw the name on Sammy's msn. Seems that he is touched by some part of the movie lerh... well... anyway... I felt not bad after seeing this movie... The opening of the movie does create a mood and everything seems to be going well as well... One thing I have to say, the styling and costums are very nice... only thought the ending could be much much better... But when I think about the whole movie again now. The story line is kinda weak... and it is definitely not about Diane Arbus. Feeling Diane can be anyone after seeing the movie. The ending is kinda crap... and it makes the openning stupid as well... Maybe thats why its rating is so bad in IMDB... :D um... but I have 2 copy of this DVD -_-
YOU....
YOU... you are fail on the test la... deduct your marks~~ lalala... um... I will keep on talking to myself, and I can't stop you listening anyway....
I tried to search some more things about you as well... but can't see much around -_-.... aiya... maybe thats good for me... I'll read you bit by bit... slowly... later... haha... I m a slow person (compare to general hknese la)
oooh... just had a glance, but your photos there are much nicer lerh... probably they are more updated :) obviously the lighting are different... let me do some promotion to my friends for you sin... most of my best friends are in 4As indeed :p hehe....

Feeling weird...
um... please do not read it if you can... it's embarrassing...~~ yesyesyes... I mean you... dont read!!!
In case you read it by mistake... let me say some rubbish before that... haha...
I hurt my chest the other day from basketball... didn't know it until I played again... since then I can't even do yoga properly... -_- tried to swim but couldn't :( but then I went to play a bit basketball again :P it hurts even I breathe a bit harder ~_~ it should be just the not-too-much chest muscles... aiya... why m i so weak I never notice before coming here~~~
And then, it's something stupid I've done again... yes... it's the second time I've bought the same item twice from amazon... it was a DVD last time as well? can't remember really... :P yea... it is embarrassing enough ya? :D so... stop reading, now! I am just talking to myself, which I always do...
It's been a long time (well, not very long for some people maybe but me) since I miss someone as it is... 2 years? less than less than... it was when I went back to HK... I guess... but that's different, at least we were together for few months last time... Anyway... I still can't understand why people can miss someone who never met each other... Any psychology specialist here? Tell me! It was a few times, some people I never met said they miss me... I was like, wat? come on, dont be silly. we'd never even met. Indeed, it just happened like 2 days beforehand. And then I am the silly one. Can't concentrate on what I was doing Thinking of something I don't know what was it. I almost forgot how is that feeling already... Miscalculating time different from hk! Seriously, what was it? I guess it is the thing... Actually, it happen twice in my life... but I still can't understand... weird people!! And... I m a bit scared -__- coz one of the twice wasn't work out at all... :S..... And it was the time I thought I knew that person very well... but it's kinda another story when we met. Well, it wasn't a misunderstanding or what... but what I knew was just a very little part of the whole story. haha... photos don't lie... but they don't tell too much neither :P I can feel them... but still very blurry.... um... sometime it doesn't tell much even when you see the person in real... I think I always fall into this kinda thinking lately -_-... Never have the answer but just keep thinking, and cant concentrate... aiya... gig sei yan la~~ um... I m a bit worry about the website things... I feel the pressure~~ but I m sure I will do something cool... Key should be reliable... Daat Daat I know you don't like his style... but I will handle the design part ma :D haha... btw, why you guys feel I m in love ga!? I don't feel it wor! .\/. um... a bit ja ma... .\/. ding! you guys are too sensitive la...
Ah... forgot to show Donald Dickjai's drawings tim... I do wanna extend the project, ar... Tracy! dont be lazy la!!!... I gonna sell it to publishers soon ga la... I do think we have to have the whole plan in order to sell it easier... I've got a children books publisher contact lately from my excolleague... but I do think we should try overseas publishers first :)
In any case if you have really read it... don't tell me you didn't know who I was talking about up there... Think of some other excuses... or... try to lie to me, tell me you didn't... I always trust people easily, too easily :D :D.... lalala~~~

Tracy in US - San Fransciso
03OCT
(8.30p 02OCT) Called Tony see if they can help to rent a car coz they promised to provide me a car after my holiday anyway... But then he was super rude as usual when it goes to money... come on... I was just trying to ask for help... if he doesn't want to help... just not to... how could he say sth like "I am not your mother or father, I am not supposed to cover you up when you make mistake"... honestly thats nothing help, no matter how many times of apologies afterward...
And another thing upset me even worse was Tracy wanna leave me in SB and go to SF by herself... T_T well.. fair enough... it's kinda stupid to stay in SB without a car and internet... but for that moment... should it be hey... let's find some other ways to go to SF together maybe? I know she didn't mean it but I felt I was only a driver... I didn't feel we were traveling together T__T. I m sure it is the worst thing Tracy has done on me because she never thought of how hurt it could be... it still hurt even I think of it now... :(
(9.00a) Went back to office trying to get my car sorted. Tony's attitude has totally changed... Honeslty, if they dont help... I would go back to HK straight away..
Sourced quite a few car rental company and only enterprise would do it in the quickest way. But when everything almost sorted after a long waiting to the rental company reply. But when I brought the form to tony to sign so that they can charge his card. He was rushing out and didn't sign it before he left and saying why everyone use his card don't need his signature but I do... it must be my bad English or what... I was like, huh? and he left before things sorted T___T Last night, I was kinda annoyed, but at that moment I did wanna cry... um... haha... of course I got my car eventually... ya... shhhh...... I did sign it :D with our wise Amber encouragement... lallallal~~~~
(3.00p) Finally, I've got the car sorted... We grabbed something eat and also some other things sorted, it was already 4. As we were going to Point Reyes (30 mins north from SF) directly.. it will take abt 6 hrs drive
(9.00p) We were almost in SF and the GPS ran out of battery!!!!!!!!!!!! coz the both of the electric plugs weren't working and we didnt notice until it's battery low... And it was super heavy raining!
(10.00p) We kinda lost our way and drove all the way up North to Santa Rosa (45mins from the junction we needa make a turn -_-) And the hostel we supposed to stay were closed :(
(12.00) We found a pretty nice hotel in Corte Madera but much more expensive of course.... yohoooo I could use free Internet there!!!~~ haha

Weather wasn't as bad as the night before but pretty foggy...
Yea the weather getting much better in the afternoon but doesnt need to be so high ar ma? :D
(2.00p)We went to Berkeley in afternoon... bought 2 "The Kills" CDs~ yea yea.... Passed this bridge.
(5.00p) Mithila Hotel, the hotel was super bad! Hate it a lot and I've written my first hotel review in my life...! You can tell how angry I was from my review!

(10.30a) Move out of the nightmare hotel -_-
(12.00p) We went to Castro for a brunch in the morning... pretty chill~ hang around a bit that area... went to the Diesel and met the super nice super cool and handsome sales again :)
A lot of Museums were not opened including the one I planned to go.. I m sure I had seen it somewhere saying it's open... but anyway.. obviously I was wrong...
(5.00p)Cable car~~ It's probably the most popular photo angle and moment :D
(5.30p) Fisherman Market, Seems that everything we've done today are so touristy :D:D
(7.00p) Have Korean dinner with Gene and his friends!! :D food was okay la... but did enjoy the time to eat with a lot of friends :D
07OCT
(10.00a) Finally, we got into DeYoung!!! wooohooo... It's free of charge on that specific day (only once in a month)!!! Feeling my luck has come back!!! It is such a cool Museum! I love it... just behind Tate Modern... It was a great variety of works they have collected there!

08OCT
(10.30p) Nice breakfast to start the day~~
(12.00p) Drive back to SB on Freeway No.1!!! :D super nice... but I think it would be nicer to drive the opposite direction... passed through Big Sur, just too nice to my eyes :D

(8.30p 02OCT) Called Tony see if they can help to rent a car coz they promised to provide me a car after my holiday anyway... But then he was super rude as usual when it goes to money... come on...

Tracy in US - Las Vegas & Grand Canyon
30SEP
(10.00a) Back to office, telling them I gonna stay until the end of my visa :)… Petra asked me to get some work done for them before we went to Vegas =_= (our flight was 2:30) ng sai chur doo gum chung ar ma~ haha stayed for an hour and half and head straight to airport lo~~~ :D
(12.00n) We lost our way to return our car… Avis!!! It is such a big car rental company but they don’t have a place next to airport while all the other companies does! Instead it's like hiding on a road which couldn’t be found even by the GPS!! Anyway we’ve got there somehow…
(12:30p) SB airport~~~ it wasn’t look like an airport at all :P haha
Mistaken effect by exposed the films accidentally..~ but I love it!!
(4.00p) Arrived the Las Vegas airport, got the car rented, and we head straight to the hotel which is almost cheaper than the 2 beds in a hostel I’ve booked afterward. The hotel was actually okay… indeed, better than I thought. The weather in was super dry. Well, it’s a desert after all…
Yup... very plastic, init?
(6.00p) We walked a bit the shops there, and went to Venetian, the only casino I know the name. We don’t really gamble haha…but tried $5 for that machine thing and won $10… And we had a very good burger in the restaurant there, the salad was huge but in that’s the kinda a lot of mayo salad which I don’t like too much. It taste okay indeed, just doesn’t look like a salad to me…
(10:00p) I found that I’ve lost my wallet when I was trying to pay for the dinner :(:( luckily I’ve got my passport separated which I normally put inside the wallet!! Otherwise I probably can’t go back even to SB!!! Reported to the hotel but not having much luck on it…
01OCT
(8.00a) Woke up a bit late for our Grand Canyon day!!! And we needa go to Avis to change to another car, coz that’s super stinky -_-… the Toyota was easier drive than the Ford obviously. But the orange colour is just so much nicer :D
(9.00a) We went to get our breakfast + lunch + dinner in McDonald’s! :D haha… surprisingly, it was actually quite good... but I can still find the McDonald’s taste in it~~~~ but indeed there are restaurants all the way from LV to GC~~~
I’ve chosen the North Rim of Grand Canyon simply bcoz it’s the less tourists visiting part :P. Indeed they were about to close during winter time. It was a 275 miles drive from Las Vegas, almost 5 hours drive. Of cause, it’s super long drive for me, it is still such a cool experience though. I had to overcome the biggest challenge for me, my sleepiness!!! And I made it!!! I probably couldn’t make it without Tracy’s moliu speaking and snacks… Wooo… We drove through some desert like places, some little villages and then a bigger town, and when we were almost there, it was a forest. The trees was about to change their colour in fall and it was soooooo beautiful… it was definitely the most beautiful nature scene I’ve ever seen!!! We are indeed super stupid didn’t plan to stay there for a night or more… There are a lot of hiking routes there and a few really nice house for people to stay in. um… that’s definitely a place that we will go again…
A few critical mistakes of the Grand Canyon trip:
1. I haven’t bought the spare battery for Tracy :(
2. Lid of my film camera suddenly open itself… and lost some super important photos :(:(:(
3. We should have planned a much longer stay in Grand Canyon, but it was only 3 hours, with the 9-10 hrs driving. Kinda stupid :P... but these also make sure that I will be back again :D maybe West + South + North next time~~ and for a week sth...
(10.00p) We drove all the way back from Grand Canyon and just made the time to see the show in Las Vegas “O”. It was absolutely stun! From the idea of the show, the story, stage design, costume, to the skills of the performers, to the music, even the smells in the show, everything… every little details are just prefect! Every part of the show is definitely the top of the top of the world. It is undoubtedly the best performance I’ve ever seen in my life… wah wah wah~~~ and it worth more than the price of ticket for sure (it was almost US$200 indeed, but still)!!!
02OCT
(11:00a) We went to a outlet around!!!! and bought a few things from Diesel!!! :D:D ho ho ho~~~~ and Coast are very cheap there as well~~
(4:30p) Returned the car just just just on time!!!! LV Airport heading back to SB~~
(8:00p) We couldn’t rent a car coz I lost my card :( and Tracy doesn’t have a driving license. :( I still don’t know if we can drive up to SF…. All I can do is to put finger cross and pray for it… yea... and Darius drove us home while he was rushing to see his friends ~~ thanks~~

I m such a genius -_-
It was the most stupid thing I have ever done in my life! I’ve locked myself outside the car!!!!!! I went out of the car and open the gate in front of my house… and the door just closed itself T___T…. and I was locked outside!!!! Luckily, I can get back to my room and wait for the emergency help… they came like 1.5 hrs afterward… and amazingly, they open the door in 5-10 second! I m sure they can steal any car within a quarter minute!! What they do was basically pull the door open for 2 inches with a tool and unlock the button with another very long tool…. Seriously, that was taking them less than 10 second… From they arrived, said a hi to me to they left. The whole process was less then 2 minutes. And they charged me $75 T_T… hope that I wont pay for it… coz it’s on my boss’s card :D haha… yea…
Btw, I met a friend from internet today… a guy from HK who stay in Goleta!!!!!!!! Wao… we talked a bit on msn! You don’t know how amazing it was to meet a HKnese in SB!!! There are almost no one working in SB… only students, students and students… honestly I don’t mind to meet students but so far I never meet any… :P haha… yea… seems that I will have a good company to hang out with But…. the first thing I called him was to ask for help on the locked car things -_-… very “sut wai” ~_~….
