Decided to stay until 15th Dec

Walking on the beach side in SB with Tracy, suddenly thought why should I go back to HK all in a hurry... when there is nothing I m going back for... ya... I have lost my job offer in HK coz they are an US company and stopped head counting due to the bad economy of US, if I didn't mention... um, anyway... so I decided to stay here until the end of my Visa in mid December... and then I can have a bit more time and money to have my travel in Japan :D... yea yea yea~~~

Surprisingly cool The Raconteurs concert!

Thanks Darius for asking me to the show!!!!! yea ye ayea... I know they are famous but I really never heard of their name before this :P but of cause I know the key member, Jack White, the one who also play in The White Strips... hahaha... he is kinda cool but I m not a big fans to his kinda musci.. anyway... he is pretty cool :D... The most unexpected thing is their supporting band is THE KILLS!!!!!!!! damn.... and I didn't know before going there!!!!!! woooo... haha.... Jamie Hince is just simply super cool... love them....
The show was played in Santa Barbara Bowl... and I love the venue so sooo much.... It's probably the best venue in the world! It's an open space, medium size (can probably fit in 5000-10000 ppl I guess) venue. Very casual place which people can just walk around in the middle of the show.... It's just amazingly beautiful when you look up to the sky... It's like all the stars are enjoying the show with us :D:D haha....
Back to the show, it is just simply cool... even though this is not the kinda music I love the best... Live is just different... I did enjoy every single second there :D:D ho ho hoo....~~~~~

Meeting Euniz and Yannick in LA!!!

Euniz came to LA with Yannick all the way from London to visit me!!! :D:D haha... soooo happy happy... ~~~~~~ We've done almost everything tourise would do in LA ho ho ho~~~ We had a super good weekend there and will show photos here very soon :D:D...

Bye, Mr Lee......

Finally it's the time to say good bye to Mr Lee today lo T_T.... I've sold mr lee to 2 Norway girls.. I made $100 from that! :D:D

and then I heard a bad news from them 2 days after I'd given mr lee to them, that they had broken down in 50 miles away... -_-.... and the funny thing is they left the car there... called me and ask for a full money back~~~~~ And keep calling saying I sold them a broken car -_-.... but the thing is we went for a car checking together before they were buying my car and my car passed the smog test perfectly... um... well... anyway... I refused to give them money back for sure... and they gave up calling me lo... um.. but Mr Lee.... is just dying in 50 miles away from me................... but he's always in my heart :P lalallalalalal~~~~

San Francisco

29AUG Everyone just keep telling me how a nice the city is, how good the foods in SF, blabalbalbablbala.... haha.... finally I'm there, after a 6 hours journey from SB to LA to SF... kinda a waste of time... but its good that I left the office at 3:30 :D but arrived at 9 sth, even slower than driving... :S I saved about $100 for the ticket indeed... but doesnt sounds worthy at all lerh..

10:15p SF Airport



Gene pick me up from airport... and started my SF trip on the lovely Friday night :D... Super foggie in SF the first night I've been there...

30AUG



The 2nd day, we went out to have a blunch in Cartro with Curt ^__^ He is a ABVitnamiese.. very typical American... Just keep talking talking and talking in a very American way...I thought we gonna chat for longer but anyway... we then walked a bit around Cartro, a gay area in SF... By the way, the first impression of SF to me is a very gay city really (or you can say a very gay friendly city)... once I step out of the gate, I could tell the different of this city from LA or SB... anyway... Cartro is nice That's pretty similar to some streets in Europe. little shops... kinda quite but a lot of things happening... the stuff in Diesel is surprisingly cheaper then in HK and London... :D seems that I should buy some next time (funny, they only have a few shops in Cali!!! and only in LA, SF and SJ)~~

3:00p MoMA



With the free ticket from Gene's friend :), the MoMA in SF is nicer than in LA in a way. Ssomething quite interesting there :) And I m impressed with their cool architecture! they are showing an exhibition of Chinese comtempory artist... They are also showing the Frida one but I've seen that in London already... so I didn't spend time on that :P I mean her life is always more interesting then her works to me... btw, they put a painting from Picasso in the photography exhibition room.... interesting huh? and thats the only non-photo piece in the room...

4:30p Jewish Comtempory Museum



It is a surprisingly cool museum! the building is already cool enough to pull you in :D and the pieces inside are quite different from other museums... well you might not like them but you might not find them anywhere else... And they have a very cool room which surprised me a lot... go and check it out!! :D



5:30p Sausalito

Eatting less...

I suddenly found myself eating much less than when I just came here...

I m just having a stupid though. Since I come here, I find that people can actually eat a lot... and i can't really understand why we need to eat so much... where are those food gone exactly!!! (seems to be a questiona I should have asked when I was young, huh?)

But i do find it very intersting... If I do not eat on time... I really feel hungry...!!!!! And then I try not to eat as much... and i really feel hungry earlier in the day... I tried to play this with myself day by day... see how much I eat and when would I feel hungry if I eat such amount of food... very moliu but quite fun... :D and I would never have a chance to play this in hk.. coz I dont cook for myself...

The 1/2 bl pasta, I used to finish it in 3 meals.. seems that I can make it 4 or if i have some salad, i can make it even 5 meals now! yup... btw, if I did exercise... during the day... I do need to eat more... it is very interesting!

I am trying to just eat what I need now... unless I feel really hungry... I wouldn't eat more.. On the other hand coz I live with myself and throw my bin by myself... Just find that i am actually making quite a lot of rubbish!! If I eat more... obviously I would have to make more rubbish... coz even i buy food from the most enviormantal friend store now... they still have some plastic bags or containers to place the frash foods... I put most of them on recycle indeed, but who the hell know where are they really going... -_-... um...I guess it is a good start for myself :D hope that I can keep it even when I go back to hk... ^__^

Exciting and annoying

I've had a full sport day on Saturday again :D.... haha dont know how long can I have this kinda life still.... :D

I've sent out my first job application finally... it is a very rough and informal one indeed... in order to try out if my works interesting enough :P And of cause this is not the best one I am looking at... My experience is before I can send my CV to the best I m looking at, I do have to have some rehearsal time :D haha... well, it is the exciting part... the annonying part is coming.. I just can't think of a better way to do my CV cover... Although Stef said he doesnt like this cover too much and maybe I was affected by him too much on it... (coz I did it when I was staying with him...) , I really do not feel comfortable to make up something in a rush to put on my CV... Also, I dont want that oil paint style too domainate my CV.... i know it is already very much... just can't be too much really... um... unless I could find another way to make it nicer... I wouldn't change it in this bunch of applicaitons... but my feeling is... I know there is something not good enough.. and I still send it out ... very annonying...

um... this is the cover... shit.. the more i look at it... the more I dislike it -_-

It is such a great day!

I went to cafe for internet this morning watch some news, had some chats... and I met a lady and chat with her in the cafe... her hasbond is from China... :D super nice person... haha and she is the 4th or 5th person saying I have a nice ascent :D some of them said it's british... but I guess its kinda a mixup really... I didn't have much british friends tho... haha.. anyway and then I headed to UCSB for my sport day today!!! :D haha... I played a bit basketball with a guy and a gal :P they are super nice... and then I went to discover a bit the area around the uni... and I've bought 2 vinyl record from a store for $1 haha... they are a bit squashy tho.... haha 2 for $1...

I had a lunch in the Uni centre... it was redicious! that's almost no food selling during weekends! anyway... the young pretty lady who sell the lunch to me was super nice ^__^ I went to play more basketball after the lunch... :) which is very nice... and I met the guy I played once with him in the outdoor court last month..! and the guy called Peter from Gong Chau was very nice as well... he play basketball every single day!!!! how good is it to be a student! I might go there more often from now on ^__^..... yea...

and after that I went to swim.... but I could only made 250metres... :( I was clonus in the water lerh :S very cham cham... but then I found thats a spa next to the swimming pool!!!!! wao... such a great one at that moment!! :D I gonna fall in love with that sport centre now :D haha...

and when i went home, my luck is not finished yet..!!! haha... Tina just invited me to have the dinner with them!!! :D how great!!!! they made a traditional Vienna dinner!! ^__^ I love it... and I started missing mama's beef belly dish ^__^ ho ho ho~~

The Edge of Heaven (9)

I found that I haven't seen a great movie for soooo long after seeing this :)... seems that my movie luck is coming back :D:D haha... The story is indeed quite complicated but I do like how imdb summerize it - A Turkish man travels to Istanbul to find the daughter of his father's former girlfriend. Well... I think this is the simpliest way to tell about the movie... without telling you too much but interesting enough, huh? :D

I do love the way they shoot the movie a lot... He (Rainer Klausmann) should be one of the best cinematographer in the world :D.. I've seen some familiar scenes in it but can't recall where did I see them but all come together just make a such a good movie!

See if you may find the DVD in HK... Or let me try to find it here :D haha... ask me if you want to see. :D

Made 2 new friends!!!

Wooooo I've met 2 new friends today... I saw them everyday indeed just never have a chance to talk to them and didn;t even know their name :P
Haha.. but Hans introduce them to me today ^__^ I m happy now~~



Emale... :D

2nd trip to LA

it's such a great weekend in L.A. :) I went there for the international surf festival!! and there are a lot of things happening over there... just that I couldn't find the surfing competition :P but I do enjoy the beach volley ball tournament!!

It was kinda hazel on sat... it's much worse than what you see on photos :P haha

We were in a super nice restaurant for lunch.. and saw this little cute girl with super blue eyes playing with ice :P

The Night Knight (7.5)

I just simply love Christian Bale.. :) and it is a reasonable cool Batman movie... not too exciting, not too bad... Just that the theator I went to was the biggest I've even been!!! wao!!!! it was called Metropolitan Arlington Theatre... it is the most classic theator in Santa Barbara... they have lot of decoration around the side... and thats a dark sky with stars shinning on top of the theator!!! how amazing :D:D they do some musicals there sometimes... :D...
