The break up... :(

Once I got back home, I heard a stocking news... :( Tina and Hans was breaking up :(:( I was really really worry and feel very sad lerh~~~ I kinda know hows it happen a few days after and um.. it's really a difficult situation... but Hans gonna make his step, actually he started but things happen before Tina knows it... Hope that it's not too late la~~ It doesn't seems too great at the time I was leaving tho ~_~ finger cross~

A week in LA

Was working in LA for a week. I was feeling a bit weird that everyone in the office just tried too hard to be good to me... ~_~ It's a good sign anyway... I know I have nothing to complain... just felt a bit weird... I know it's so bad to say it but I did feel a bit embarrassing...

I still prefer working in SB... but seems that next time come to the State, I will probably work in LA office... hope that they will still save me a place to work in their SB house... :P I still enjoy to work a bit,
talk to Zag a bit and play with Nina a bit and then go back to work... :)

Stayed in Darius & Carina's home... I love their house... :) good environment

Made friend with their neighbors Billy and Ethan. They are Jewish, and big fan of Lakers... We spent a few fantastic NBA payoff nights in their flat :D It's interesting to meet people with different background, different culture~~

At the end of the week, I went to the LA Museum of Natural History to see the butterfly exhibition :) love it!!!

The weather wasn't very warm and all the butterflies were being lazy lying everywhere. And it's the best time for photograph!!!! :D haha... the first second I step into the room, a butterfly just laid on me and not leaving even I try to put it away softly :D... how amazing~~

It's a bit dangerous on my way back to SB :S I almost fell asleep when I was driving again :( super scary... actually on my way to LA I was very tired too but I kinda knew it and stop by somewhere, rest a bit and go again.. but on my way back, it's a bit late and I wanted to go home asap and... yep... I will really take rest next time when I feel I gonna fall asleep lerh~~~scary scary

Burn After Reading (7.5)



It is such a cool weird film~~ I think the story is really good and the actor did very well too... It's ridiculous in an imaginative way~~~ And Brad Pitt is so hilarious. Maybe when those the handsomest guys act funny, everyone would love to see haha...~~~ and I love it~


Kids (6.5)



I'm a bit disappointed by this movie... maybe because too many people saying it's such a good movie and I'd too high expectation... or maybe I found it too much emphasis on the sex scene.. um... but more or less it's the reality and part of the society. um... maybe just about the timing... it would be much surprising if I saw it when the movie just out...
It's not a bad one really... lalalalala... it's not a waste of time at all... I put it into my can-see list~~

Ladybird~~

Yea the baby goat in our house, she's given a new name and she just keep running with me, eating everything in the garden... jump jump jump~~~ she actually jump quite high lately~~ :D:D:D super super super... dont know if she might forget me when I come back again ~_~

Thai dinner~~

I was asking Tina what can I make some dishes with my peanut butter on Friday and it's how we start thinking of this lovely Thai farewell dinner :)... She suggested making a Thai Satad sauce and roast chicken~~ ^__^ and then she gonna make Thai chicken coconut soup~~:P woooohooo~~~~
So I woke up on Sat morning~, went to hardware shop and make the office key I've lost :P went to Peet's and spend a morning there~~ back home, had a simple lunch... and go to shop and get things prepared... everything were running smooth~~ and I marinated the chicken and prepared the sauce before I went out~~:D I went to Goleta beach, laid under sun a bit... and went for basketball, gym (I realised I should train up a bit my thigh muscles so that I can jump higher)~~ Super nice day~~~ start cooking lazily....

The dinner was super nice~~ I do love the soup and of cause the roast chicken and the sauce was super good.... everyone loves it lalallalala :D

After dinner I went to Darius' home and meet Carina's friends. Both of them are super cute~~ They're from Canada (French Canadian) and one of them works in Paris and another worked in London and moved to LA~~~ they are just super nice~~~

It's such a great day~~ ^__^.....

Big Green Big Sur~~

So happy to have a half day off and go camping~~ The only time I went for a camping was like 10 years ago... with Chow Chow and friends~~ It was pretty horrible experience tho. Yellow rainning alert~~ got wet through out the whole day and night...wao... can't believe that I did that really...

Anyway, we've got ready and leave SB at 3...a bit later than we thought but it's great day to go... It's a warm sunny day (normally it's quite cold over there)... It was a nice drive too... I've slept for a tiny bit :P and we arrived at around 7:30. It takes quite a bit longer than I thought... but it worthy~~:D

Thanks soooo much for Amber's the best camping planner...~~ woohooo~~~ She's prepared everything and all the meals when we're there~~!!! We set up the tants, and setlle down everyhting... start cooking dinner... played a game called Blockus... which is a very fun stredgy game :) and I won Amber in the first game... lost the second one with Darius. When we were waiting for grilling the salmon for dinner, we smoked too much weed :P and me and Darius we soooo stone, couldn't even really taste the dinner and had to liad down ~_~... Supposed it's some life music there in the bar,,, but we couldnt make it :( aiya~~~~~

The second day was super chill out~~ basically did nothing but eat eat eat and eat... big breakfast, big burger lunch and big steak dinner~~~ We went for a hike, took pictures around~~~ super relax and had a nice dinner. We'd played some games again and I really get the blockus game this time, I won Darius for over double points~~ woohooo~~ We've played another game, I cant remember the name and a card game called Romera too...~~

The Way We Are 天水圍的日與夜(7)

It's just one of the stories around us happen... super simple, real story of the framily probably just next you. A lot of people might find it boring and I wouldn't say I love it very much neither. Yea... A single mum, a kid who's not drug addict, doing okay in school, having a normal relationship with his mum, gradma and his relative. People help each other. We do see the kind of love and connection from it. And ya, it is just the way we are... I am so glad that some people have made this film and I did enjoy watching it...We seldom find this kinda film in HK anymore which simply recording real, nothing-really-specail, no violent, no sex kinda stories.... I am more appreciate the intention of making a film like this really...

I like its English name more than the Chinese one... it's just simply about the movie... while I m feeling the name with 天水圍 is kinda a talking point at that time... well... maybe that's the whole point of taking the movie, at least the starting point I guess... Well, Im just saying it. I dont dislike it or what...

Life in SB (1 month passed)

4MAY09
Switched the car in the morning after paying the penalty on parking ><>

5MAY09
Work work work... and basketball today, I am feeling I m getting much fitter then when I just came... esp in basketball court!! :D

7MAY09
I did play some good basketball games today~~ :D And then watched a nice movie...

The fire in SB is getting more serious! The smoke is just next to us...super close... and we might needa evacuate.... >_<>

Poor Car

03MAY09
Actually it's poor me ~_~... It's a nice weekend but not for my car~~ First I've got a packing ticket which I really didn't know it was a time limit parking zone! It's no sign around I sware!

And then on the lovely sunday morning... Tina found that it's a flat tire on my car! kinda undrivable flat tire...~~ Hans was just super nice helping me to chage to the spare tire... The first time I realise that it's actually pretty simple to change tires~~ :D Hans does it all... but I kinda know how to do it now :)

An Inconvenient Truth (9)


Everyone of us should see it! It's the only thing in my mind after seeing it... It's a documentory about saving the world... All of us really should do something urgently. I did know some of those but it made a very storg statement that it is serious, it is urgent, we all can do something, and it could be a significant change if we do. It's not just slowing the world breaking apart but we could heal the world.

City Without Baseball (2)



I m sorry to say it but I do find this movie disgusting... A lot a lot of random naked scenes, the director dont even know what's he trying to say himself kinda movie. Well I guess the marketing of the movie did save him a bit I guess but I very much feel the actors were cheated to show their muscles and dicks to satisfy the director's own desire. They might have dreamed their naked acting could help promoting their love baseball development in HK... yea... I dont want to be mean but it's never gonna happen~~ The movie wasn't cool, the people inside wasn't cool, the story was boring, kinda shit movie that I had to fastforward quite a bit when I watched it. Unless you are interested in those not very handsome guys taking shower and run naked. Don't waste your time~

Not having Internet is okay sometimes...

I dont have internet here at home most of the time... and I m really not feeling disappointed... well... it's not very convenience sometimes but most of the time I do enjoy without it... I m feeling I m having much more time to do other stuff.... play basketball, watch movies, play with animals... whatever I dont have much time to do in HK I can do here~~ :D

Death Note 1,2 & 3 (5, 4.5 & 1.5)



Have seen quite a few movies that I wanted to see for a while lately... not that I think they would be good... but somehow... I wanna have a look... Death note is one of them... I kinda expected it wouldn't be good (I did love the comic!) but I keep asking people if they have that DVD... finally I've got them from DV998 :P I did feel a bit guilty but um... Even Daat Daat and Leo do that... plus the whole Advertising industry... I really can't find a reason not to... and HK don't have Amazon ma... quite a lot of those DVD are just not worth the money~~~ I wouldn't even thought of watching them if they are not as cheap~~~~ anyway... all are just excuses I know...

Back to the movie, first of all... the casting of Kira was really disappointing... He is so not handsome and not looking smart which lost most of the charm of the movie... L was fine. Probably his acting was good... He's that kinda weird which just fit the charactor. Another good one was Misa Misa... haha she is very cute, looking exactly the same as the comic book~~ haha... They have cut off a lot of necessary scenes and some interesting stuff from the comic... Anyway... it's just boring and not great.

The third episode was just a lie... nothing related to the original story... Just a money making kinda film follow with the heat from death note. hate it hate it hate it.

Soundless Wind Chime (8.5)


Forgot to say something about this movie~~ I do love it! It's one of the best, most touching low budget movie taken by a new director (he's only 29/30) I have seen these few years... I hate people making this kinda comment saying it's not a gay moive but a love story really... Yep... why can't it be labeled... It's nothing wrong with it really... The way the director treat the way to tell the story and the editing was very mature as a new new director. He does put a few not-really-necessary-sexual-scene in the movie but he also kinda gave them some reasons to happen... Well maybe that how we make up stories and have more "selling point" to people... And it was 1 scene that I wasn't sure why was it there... but anyway, I was touched and I would give it an 8~ haha... yea.... recommended~~~

Tracy in SB 09

Tracy just came to SB for a weekend~~ We hanged around SB a bit...

Polariod-09-04-008-Horse

Polariod-09-04-005-Goat

We were (acutally it was only me) thinking to go to Solving but didn't get ourselves too rush and decided not to go... Played with the animals... taken some pictures.... super lay back~~~ wowohooo~~~ The beach was super windy and we only stayed for 20mins maybe? and left. Had a very very very nice dinner in boat House, a restaurant by the beach... super nice food :D except the fish wasn't as good as the one I had in the Harbour.

Polariod-09-04-011-SB Beach

We went for a crazy shopping in an outlet on the way to LA... I was more crazy than Tracy as usual... I m a bit scared of myself if I am prepared to do some shopping... Everytime I prepared to do some shopping, I would really buy a lot... maybe I really shouldn't plan any shopping really...

And then, it's some more shopping in Melrose. Mainly got some super cheap stuff but nice and cool~~ :D

Dinner with Henry in a Spainish Restaurant... nice nice~~ except the seafood rice wasn't that nice.... meatball pasta was unexpectedly delicious~~~ had some good time with Henry... :D:D Suddenly found that he's really handsome... haha... yea yea~~~ Bought a way too sweet cheese cake from cheesecake factory... went to sleep just after the cheesecake...
