Countdown to CNY 2013

Two weeks to CNY.  The year of the snake is almost upon us.  This means Stef turns 36 and my dear Aaron turns 48! Gulp!  How time flies!

Hao-e and I were talking in the cab this morning about Tony Leung (he's 50!), Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok, and all their compatriots, how they've not aged visibly and how they've managed to sustain their careers for so many years.  It's pretty amazing if you think about it.  Aaron started off in Taiwan all those years ago as bright-eyed dancer who can barely carry a tune.  He's now freakingly good looking and a rather watchable actor, i think he won a golden horse several years back as well!  Takeshi Kaneshiro too, who knew he could play a very good looking Zhuge Liang?!  He actually looked like he could be intelligent enough, ha!  And Tony Leung has always been a charismatic actor, remember those days when he and Andy were in TVB drama serials? Even Jacky Cheung has diversified into acting, and he got a best supporting actor award too! Why are these people so multi-talented?  Leon well, he divorced his wife, don't know what he lives on, memories of the gold ole days i think.. heh, no love for the old man.

Anyway, back to CNY prep.  We've accomplished the following:-
  • new currency notes
  • red envelopes
  • yu sheng ordered
  • sofa and dining table ordered to be delivered next saturday
  • new clothing
  • plumber coming tomorrow
Things left to do:-
  • spring cleaning (yikes)
  • buy steam iron
  • put up some of the deco on the walls
  • new year goodies (this saturday)
  • pack the envelopes
I think we're good... no stress since no one will be coming to our house anyway. i think.

Jay Chou

Blasting Jay Chou into my ears with my broken ear-phones.. hee. I still love him so much! one of those singers whose songs cause my body to move and groove to the rhythm. just feel like dancing. my interest in mr chou waned though in recent months due to his new gf. i mean she's an improvement over jolin but i still think she's a bit ah... how shall i put it, not very nice. somehow i feel she's mean. not as guai and angelic as she looks. still have a soft spot for ppl who are nice. why can't ppl be nice? i'm trying to be nice. (my new mantra - " Be nice ") haha. i mean people who know me from before know i'm quite harsh and critical and unforgiving. so nice has got be a NEW mantra for me. Next thing you know, i'll be meditating in a nunnery atop a mountain with a thousand steps cut into it. every morning i'll be climbing down those steps to fetch a pail of water... and jack and i will fall down the hill with the pail and all... yikes, ...

Shujun's Birthday!!

Seems like yesterday when the new year 2005 started.. now it's May, and we've celebrated Beek's, Lihui's and Wanping's birthdays. Time seems to be passing too fast for birthdays for i refuse to admit that i'm older [again], yet it passes too slowly when i'm sad or down. Ah well, life isn't a box a chocolates. nor a piece of cake. it's full of cakes! birthday cakes especially. in 2 days, one of my best mates will be turning 24. it's been more than a decade, us knowing each other from sec sch days. haha! I just want you to know that you'll always going to be my lap cheong. my very cute friend who can sing "one night in Beijing" in both guy and gal's voices and break the record too! my ultra loyal friend who stuck by me all these years, listening to my whining and complaints. i have a lot of respect for ppl who can stand my nonsense, cos well, i'm not an easy person to like.. ask my buddies they'll tell you. [better still, ...

it's funny how you learn things about yourself - your likes and dislikes - every single day. here's a list of dislikes: eager beavers people who fake an accent people who talk more than they do people who claim credit when they've done nothing (oh! old debts) back-stabbers gossipers (is there such a word?) that stir up trouble like there ain't enough of that already?! inconsiderate people .... more to come, i just know it is it too much to ask to have decent people around? there's a chinese saying, that even on the same hand the fingers are of different lengths. but is it really impossible to have everyone cross a certain threshold of decency and not stick out like a sore thumb? i've often wondered why some 40 year olds act the way they do - as if they hate the whole world. i think i'm in danger of being that sort of 40 year old as the list gets longer, and i meet more obnoxious people. argh. (*_*)
