My Significant Other said it was pre-determined. I wonder how it was so when the final decision lied in the hands of us audience. -_- ......
So, Hady Miraz beat fellow contestant Jonathan Leong to crown as the next Singapore Idol. Really don't understand, the judges kept saying he has good vocal. But frankly, it's not that appealing to me. Okay, I just tuned in to the finale show, and I still think Jonathan is a better and appealing singer, right from the audition to the grand finale.
Question from My Significant Other:" Who makes a better neighbour? Malay or Chinese?"
Okay, I shall rest my case.....

Tranquility Before A Storm
These were some of the pictures I had taken last Wednesday in Mongkok, before the forecasted Typhoon Bopha. It was terribly hazy and humid. The air seemed quite calm before the thunderstorm which hit HK early the next morning.
I was watching some TV programme when I heard those thunder. It sounded like fighter planes flying past (we stayed on the 38th storey) but it did not sound logical. Went to peep out of the window and gosh....what a sight! Sorry, forgot to take some pic
tures, but you can try to imagine. The wind was working hard, blowing the rain to almost horizontal lines, lightning kept flashing and thunder clapped through the night. Quite an experience. It was what HK termed as the "T1" -- yellow signal. This was my second "yellow" thunder storm in HK. The first was in year 2001. It was not as bad as this one.
Luckily for us, Typhoon Bopha had weakened when it approached HK on Thursday morning. Instead of a typhoon T3 signal, it was changed to a tropical storm signal. Our luck just ended there. We got stuck at the airport for 5 hours due to a flight delay. The airport staff for SQ was terribly lousy in handling the situation. When they should make an annoucement to inform us of the situation, they did not. When it was not required, they kept annoucing, showing off their not-so-good English. Arghh....so I guess it is better and wiser not to travel during the Lunar 7th month, huh? No? I really wonder...

Blowing Big
Weather forecast had reported 3 typhoons will hit Japan and Taiwan today, especially Southern Taiwan, they may get hit by 2 typhoons. After hitting Taiwan, the typhoons will shift towards Chian's Fujian, Kwantung. Hopefully we don't get them here in HK.
Just went to the little wet market in Mongkok just now. Interesting place. Weather seems okay but it is very hazy when you see the view from a high place. It is very polluted here and the air pollution hovers around the high level almost every day :(.
We may have some rain today, some storms expected. Nothing to worry I guess. Hopefully the typhoons will not change their course and hit HK again. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Hot Weather, Rush Hour
No, not another sequel by Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, am talking about the rush hour in HK, couples with the hot spells.
I know, we do have such rush hour back home but this ain't familiar territory, so it is kinda weird and fascinating to see the Hong Kongers rushing for the MTR. Not forgetting to mention stressful. They are forever so rushing for time, even going home, my god. I feel stressful as well although I am just a holiday maker. Even walking on the streets can be intimidating. They are rushing to beat the red lights, or catching the bus or mini bus. Oh yes, not forgetting the escalators. They can't even take their own sweet time to go up or down. One thing good here is that everyone, including me a foreigner, will keep to our right (yes, HK keeps to the right, weird), leaving the left side free for poeple who are rushing or do not have the patience to take a leisure ride on the escalator. This can never happen back home although there are signages telling us to do so.
However, I'm afraid the goodness stops right there only. While waiting for the trains' doors to open, they too like us, will crowd the entrance, thus, inconveniencing the passengers who are trying to push their way out. Argh....can be real irritating if you are trying to manouevre your way out. To be exact, you'll get push by the people behind you, during the rush hour.
It is summer in HK now, the heat is picking up after a short visit by Typhoon Prapipon (did I get the name right?). It was quite windy 2 days ago, just right after the typhoon. Not so windy today, so you can imagine the heat. I wonder does that contribute to the short temper of the Hong Kongers. They tend to raise their voice volume when they aren't too happy. It can get quite deafening for me coz I simply cannot take too loud a noise. Oh my goodness, I even witnessed a quarrel between the HK fellow citizens, a lady and a uncle, 2 days ago at TST's Esprit Outlet. The air-con was on full blown but the heat between them was building up. I was so taken aback, but the rest were like, it's part and parcel of their life.
Talking about full blown air-con, it is soooo ironical when the HK is trying to be environmental friendly, doing their part to save the earth, BUT, their air-cons are forever so cooold. It is switched on full blast, even during their autumn / winter seasons. Unbelievable! How to conserve energy? I simply do not understand. Can you imgaine I need to bring along a cardigan with me whenever I step out of the hotel? It is soooo hot outside, but it is the contrast when you enter a building. Why doesn't Donald Tsang visit Japan to learn this idea of conserving energy, instead of going to Singapore to create such a big hooha over a bowl of bak kut tek?
Well, expecting more heat spells for the next couple of days. So, I guess it will be good if I stay indoors, with my cardigan.
Mongkok, Hong Kong
p/s. Got a birthday cake from the hotel just now when we went up to the Coffee Lounge for some drinks. Very sweet of them :).

你是我的头痛
“你就是我的头痛！”
2天前因无缘无故生闷气，我的“阿宁”因不知是好，无所适从，冒出了这么一句话。当时的我愣了一下，但没去安抚他，继续生我的闷气。
无可否认，我的确是被“阿宁”宠坏了。有时候像个小孩子似的，无理取闹，晓得他会迁就我，就乱发脾气、乱撒娇。相信他最受不了的是，我一声也不吭，一脸的不高兴，嘴嘟嘟的。其实不是我不愿吭声，只不过想控制自己的脾气，担心一发起火来，会说出不该说的话。
我已收敛许多，尽量不乱发飙，尽量不对“阿宁”有太多的要求。看在他这么疼爱我的份上，尽量什么事都随便一点。但是，有时候忍无可忍，就会发飙了 ：（。真的没办法，我毕竟是个有感情的人，还是得发泄发泄一下。不过我的气来的快，去的也快，犹如龙卷风。“阿宁”很不能认同这一点，因为他觉得这样子很浪费细胞。当然啦，他好会记仇，长气的要命。我每次都会问：“这样人生会快乐吗？”我好不喜欢那种不开心的心情，闷闷的，感觉极为不好。所以咧，不开心的、伤心的、生气的，一概都要发飙，要不然很辛苦。
早上心血来潮，发了简讯给“阿宁”： “我还是你的头痛吗？”
“你说咧？”他反问了我。我即刻笑了出来，很开心，因为我还是“阿宁”心中的那个宝 ：）。哈。。。

Viva Italia!
Italy 5 : France 3
So, Italy had played to the masses' wishes -- won the 2006 World Cup, after a penalty kick shoot out. Although I did not watch the game, according to my Significant Other, the French played so much better than the Italians. Hence, it must be kismet that the championship had to go to Italy -- for that so-to-say 12 years curse.
Okay, after a month of craziness, hay-wired and topsy turvy schedules, blood-shot eyes due to lack of sleep, perhaps now life has to return to normalcy, albeit a sense of loss. Despair not, for all you know, World Cup 2010 is just round the corner.

Portugal 0 : France 1
葡萄牙几经辛苦，首次打入半决赛，但始终无缘问鼎大决赛， 眼巴巴看着越战越勇的劲敌，法国，迈入大决赛，争夺那最后的荣耀。
比赛毕竟是无情、残酷的。再怎么辛苦、怎么努力、怎么把握机会，最终还是得收起尊严，收拾心情，打道回府，再为4年后的比赛付出血汗与尊严。

The Heat Is On
Italy is going to the finals!
Am pretty sure the German players must be very very, sure very very depressed :(. No word can console them. They were so near, yet so far. Competition, is always cruel.
The other semi-final game will be on tomorrow morning. It is either Portugal or France to join Germany in mourning their loss. You may think I am exaggerating, but if you are fighting for that world level honour, you will think otherwise.
So, may the best wins......

Lastest Standing
Early this morning we saw Spain making an early exit from World Cup 2006. Very sad...can't see Raul on the field now. France has really upped their game and their victory this morning was a suprise.
So, the last 8 teams will be: Germany, Argentina, England, Portugal, Italy, Ukraine, Brazil and France. Germany will meet Argentina this coming Friday. That will be the clash of the titans. It is a pity that we are unable to see these 2 great teams at semi-finals or final.
The game is getting more exciting, so you can start placing your bet on your favourite team. Just a kind reminder -- don't place too big a bet, just for the fun of it. You are forewarned.

The Soccer Mania Continues
World Cup 2006 is into the quarter qualifying rounds, and so far, Germany, Argentina, England, Portugal, Italy and Ukraine are in. I am expecting the last 2 teams to be Brazil and Spain, unless the Spanish team decides to give an early Christmas gift to France. It is sad that Michael Owen from England, had to make an early exit, due to an injury, but I guess he didn't lose much. Lots of pressure on the English team and even their captain, Beckham is feeling the heat. Poor guys.
You may think that I have been sacrificing my beauty sleep to see the ball rolling. Sorry to disappoint, I have yet to watch a full match at all. With a Significant Other so ardent with the game, it is not easy not to know anything about World Cup 2006. Life would be so montonous if I choose to ignore him. Have been gallivanting on thy self for the past few weekends, short of painting the town red. Pretty liberating, I must say.
2 more weeks to go before the world champion will be named, and am counting down. Nope, not excited lah, I just want my Significant Other to get his life back. He is a sucker for disciplined lifestyle, and his sleeping hours have gone haywire since the world cup. Poor thing......
If you are not into the big F game, you will never comprehend all these madness. No matter what, it is here to stay, whether you like it or not. Thank god, it is a 4-year event.

Spate of Quarrels
I may be notorious for my short-temper among my close friends, but am also famous for my loyalty and sincerity. If you are my friend, a kosher friend, I will be there for you, through thick and thin. My loyalty will not waver, unless, you forfeited the chance.
Friends, to me, are so precious that I would sacrifice anything for them. Years ago, I was even prepared not to meet my soulmate, but was adamant to keep my friends. Although today we have all settled down, our friendship has never gone with the wind. We grow with one another, and are always there for one another, for good and for bad.
Thus, it really hurts me when we get ourselves tangled in a mass/mess of miscommunication. That's where all hurtful words surfaced, although may not be intentionally. Very sad...indeed.
Why hurtful? Coz we care, coz we value what we have shared for so many years. And coz we care, we value, we expect much more from one another. Do we take one another for granted? Maybe yes, maybe no.
So, how do we clear up the mess? Good question. I realized that as we grow older, ego and pride become permanent residents, and they are hard to chase away. Unless we make an effort to clear up the mess we have self-created, the crack may widen, or deepen. Till then, no matter how much plastering we do, it will be to no avail.
Perhaps after a good night sleep, everything will be as good as new, if we do make an effort. Afterall, we cherish what we have.

World Cup 2006 Mania
Seriously, I DO NOT like the term "soccer widow". In fact, I hate it. Who on earth gave that coinage??? The Chinese version sounds worse: "足球寡妇". Sucks!
Keep seeing that word on every newspaper I turn, and frankly, it irks me and it makes us seem so pathetic. Forgive me for cyring out loud, if our men get so excited and turned on by the big F word, so be it. The earth still evolves and life goes on. We women, need not have to end our lives! Hello~, we are the women of the 21st century, we set our trend, and be the lord of our kismets.
Yes, my Significant Other is very very excited, crazy and hilarious about the World Cup, and is forgoing sleep to watch 22 men chasing a ball. And, no, I AM NOT a soccer widow, for goodness sake. I have plans of my own. Am always a good girl during weekday nights coz I need ample rest, and recently, have not been in the pink of health. Thus, all the more I need to rest, even on the past few weekends (World Cup just commenced last weekend). However, for the upcoming weekends, do plan to go shopping, it is the GSS mind you, meeting friends for lunch/dinner, gallivanting if I permit, and not forgetting, to put my culinary skills to test, again. Have not been cooking for quite some time, so with my Significant Other hooks to the goggle box, I need to feed him.
I do not feel less loved like some writers said so. My Significant Other is still as attentive and caring to me. Some adjustments to make though, for instance, no travelling during this period, and I may have to go home on my own after work (yes, I know I am very pampered). Nothing big deal, and in fact, am glad for the time when I can be on my own. I need to get in touch with my inner soul now and then :).
So, what is the big hooha of "soccer widow"? NOTHING, if I am permitted to say so.
You can join the guys if you like, so you will have similar topics to whack about in the toilets/bedroom. If you like pretty handsome guys, all the more you should watch the games. There are no lack of them. Just to name a few, the familiar David Beckham and Michael Owen of England, Francesco Totti (so-called Prince of Rome), Gianluigi Buffon and Filippo Inzaghi of Italy (actually, the whole team is swarming with good looking dudes), Raul Gonzalez of Spain (my favourite, Fernando Morienties was not picked for the team for this world cup), Michael Ballack of Germany, Kaká of Brazil, Hidetoshi Nakata of Japan......and what have you :).
And if oogling at these beautiful handsome dudes is not your cup of tea, head to Singapore Pools to heat up the excitement. Yes, place a bet or two. No, am not advocating gambling here, but just for the sake of fun. Pick a favourite team and follow them throughout the whole tournament. Who knows you may have beginner's luck ;).
There are more on the list. You can drop into one of those pubs which is broadcasting the games, or, hop to the shopping mall which has those mega TV screen and have the company of bunch and bunch of crowd, or.......now, you have all the reason to stay up late. There! Isn't that fantastic?
So, who is gonna call us "soccer widow"? Don't you dare start......

最近的我较脆弱
Not sure is my restlessness the culprit, but, have not been feeling too good recently.
Have had diarrhoea for a few times, and my Significant Other has been bugging me to go for a colonscopy, and me being the stubborn me refuse so. I write it off as food poisoning, if not stomach flu. With the Dumpling Festival just 2 days ago, my appetite of dumplings have created yet another tummy revolution. That's the price to pay for gluttony. Oh, well, what the heck.
This morning woke up with a slight sore throat and running nose. Wonder did I catch the flu bug from my Significant Other? He caught the bug last week at his office, and is still nursing the insistent coughing, which really scares the hell out of me. Have been sleeping late recently, and obviously, insufficient sleep decreases my body immunity.
That's really a mystery. Have upped my excercise regime, I should be healthier if not stronger. However, I keep having all this minor minor ailments. As for my restlessness, it has been around for quite a while, and it looks like taking permanent residency. Arrgh....it really irks me and yet I am unable to do anything about it. Hate the feeling of it, and it is driving me to near insanity.
It seems like I lack focus in life, very very disinterested in almost everything. Did some soul searching, and still can't really decide the remedy. I try not to let it bothers me, but it is gorging me bit by bit.
So my horoscope does say that the restlessness will pass, patient is the keyword here. Hence, I have been pondering on my next course of action -- to hit the GSS or party the night away. Oh well, might as well, let my hair loose and do the unthinkable....:).....

最高境界
快乐来自于心理的平静，
切记人到无求品自高。
人的欲望何其多，试问有多少凡夫俗子能有无求？对人对事对物的要求无止境，这就是人存在的意义？
我，肯定不是例外。对人我有要求，对一切的一切亦有要求，自问品性如何？莫负他人即心安理得也。

“你快乐吗？ 我很悲伤。
你悲伤吗？ 我很快乐。
你害怕吗？ 我很彷徨。
你彷徨吗？ 我很害怕。”-- 大长金
人的七情六欲是如此复杂地交错着，不曾平复过。
感情的对比，更能衬托人的情感，亦显现你我那不曾安静的心湖。

你害怕吗？ 我很彷徨。

Meaningful Quote
It takes a minute to have a crush on someone,
An hour to like someone and,
A day to love someone - but,
It takes a lifetime to forget someone.

若我说生病也是一种情趣，你赞成吗？
昨天早上起来，量了体温（为了测排卵期，早上醒来第一件必做的事），看了温度，顿时睡意全无。37.59摄氏度。不敢相信自己的眼睛，再量了一次。还是一样。叫了我的“阿宁”，他看了温度计，斩钉截铁的说：“你在发高烧！”
让他这么一喊，我霎时觉得全身发疼，疼痛似乎从骨头里痛来，全身无力，很渴睡。即使再丰富的节目，都得一一取消 ：（。
吃了早餐，吞了2颗班纳杜，我的“阿宁”半哄半推的，拉我去睡觉。哈，我还真不甘寂寞，连生病也不愿休息：P。盖了被，“阿宁”拍拍我，才甘愿入睡。
睡了几个小时，朦朦胧胧地爬了起来，肚子闹别扭，泻肚子。量了体温，烧还没退，全身四肢皆无力，吃了2个面包，又吃了2颗班纳杜，也吃了宝济丸，再倒头去睡。可是呢，睡又睡不好，感觉好热好热。冷气似乎不冷，被都给我踢掉，差点想把衣服都脱掉。
肚子又闹革命，赶紧爬起来。唉，又泻肚子。虽然并非似洪水般地泻，但也极为很不舒服，更何况还在发烧。好辛苦。“阿宁”看了我的病态，相信他也很焦虑。
“肚子饿不饿？我去给你买点吃的？喝多点水。。。你热不热？给你开冷气吧！”我的“阿宁”又递水又殷勤地伺候着。人，总是很奇怪，生病时总爱撒撒娇，我不是例外。乘机向“阿宁”撒娇，象小孩子似的，全身的疼痛当然也助了一臂之力。
“阿宁”把我照顾得无微不至，坐在电视机前面吃着他帮我买回来的鱼圆面，的确很甜蜜。
“面好不好吃？喝点汤，要不要？”真的把我当小孩子了，但我也乐在其中。
电视机一开，简直是一拔不可收拾。自己在发烧，全身的疼痛，泻肚子，甚至老爹姓什么都抛到九霄云外了。James Bond要上场了，即使在生病也该有点娱乐吧。
“本来很喜欢James Bond的，看你这个样子，我现在很不喜欢James Bond！”“阿宁”在抗议。我看着他嘟着嘴巴的样子，都觉得好好笑。我晓得他的懊恼，但也晓得他是很疼爱我的。
一口气看了2部James Bond的戏，间中也转台看投票的结果（耶，PAP又当选了！）。“阿宁”一再地叮咛我看完戏，吃了药，就得早点休息。我哪有睡意呢？睡了一整天，那还能睡？敷衍了“阿宁”，依然双眼盯着荧光幕不放。
原以为“阿宁”已去会周公了，哪知他从卧房跑出来兴师问罪。
“就知道你不会乖乖去睡，”他轻微地斥责着。
看着他好像生气的样子，相信无法有任何妥协，唯有乖乖地听话，吃了2颗班纳杜，再去会周公。
今早醒来，量了体温，烧已退，真开心。但“阿宁”还是无微不至地照顾我一整天。
谢谢你，“阿宁”，谢谢你细心的照顾。

昭告的后果
Ever since I annouced my wish/urge/plan for retirement, the one and only response is...you've guessed it: surprise.
Hmm...I am not a workaholic, so if I plan to retire now, it should not have drawn so much astonishment from people who really know me. Come to think of it, no one supports the idea! This is ludicrous, do you not think so???
My girlfriends go: "Why do you wanna retire?", "Are you sure you wanna do that?", "What are you gonna do after you retire?", "It will be boring, you know.", etc, etc. I got the gist :(.
No, I'm not swayed by their unsupportive gesture, but never expect such response when I made known to the world, on impulse. So, I ask my Significant Other, again, what he thinks of this idea of mine.
“我举双手双脚赞成！” He says. He is definitely for it coz he thinks my daily living ain't disciplined, or rather, topsy turvy. He always has no kind word when I stay up late and work up early the next day. Yes, he would rather I sleep to my fill.
"You are always sleep-deficit! How can you have slept enough?" He reprimands me. I don't wanna argue with him coz I know he has my welfare at heart. No matter the upmteen times I've told him I'm a night person and hate waking up early in the morning, I'll sleep when my bio-clock tells me so, etc etc, he can never comprehend. *Sigh*......
Anyway, I digress, a fair bit.
I am still harbouring the thought, not gonna give it up just coz my gal friends aren't for it. I do know I may find retirement a bore after a while coz ultimately I am a person who strives for adventures. Of course I won't jump on the wagon without a plan on hand. Can't imagine being a tai tai after retirement. Of course I would want to enjoy that for a fair bit :). Go shopping, at high-end shops and boutiques, go for high-tea when my legs are about to give way. Sipping my earl grey tea (argrrgh....I hate earl grey ;<), looking at life passing by. Ha, so siok :P. No?
What else can I do? Hmm......guess I really need to go and plan a bit, before I jump on the wagon.
