Gradually gaining more clarity about my future.......can't wait til everything unfolds.....

Had a lovely saturday drinking coffee, chit-chating and just chillin' with Su, it is always such a delight to hang out with you, makes me forget about my worries (P.S. 150cm is a hilarious book.....my brother cracked up reading it too)

Larf, in case you read this, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Just some random thoughts:

We all seek for attention and affirmation from others, but as you grow, you come to learn that not everyone will like you and that it is fine. You also learn that you won't like everyone and it is not your responsibility to please everyone.

Trust is a rare commodity. The circle of people whom you truly trust is small. One has to learn to deal with many people that you somewhat trust and somewhat know will go against you to protect their own interest.

Great things happened this weekend, first of all, I got to see Cliff! Nothing is better than catching up w/ college friends, also got to see photos of his fantastic trip in Europe w/ Kwan and friends.

Tonight, went to Alex's cousin's b-day party. His cousin works for a children's television show here in HK and amongst the crowds I recognized "Tam Yuk Ying" tse tse (the hostess of a classic kid's show.... I literally grew up watching her sing and dance w/ children everyday). It's strange to see her drinking and clubbing........I guess it's time to say farewell to childhood innocence At least she wasn't smoking pot or groping another guy.

Have been going through some stressful stressful times lately....demanding/paranoid boss + work overload + lack of sleep + constipation is not the best combo. There are days when I am so angry at the world that I feel like snapping on anyone I see....it's bad I know

Here's one episode last week:

Boss: Where's Katy?

Boss' assistant: I'm not sure....she might be in the bathroom

Boss: How can she not take her cell phone w/ her wherever she goes? I need to talk to her now.

Yeah, I do bring my cell phone w/ me to the bathroom now. Feel free to give me a buzz.

Have started working out lately....almost forgot how great the adrenaline rush feels. Also got hooked with this refreshing drink called "detox"...a glorious blend of cucumber, celery, pineapple and ginger...to be followed by Amsterdam aged gouda, pumpernickel bread, red wine and Frank Sinatra. Life on the slow track is fabulous

Am absolutely psyched that one of my best buddies Joy will be coming back to work in May. Woopee! I am so gonna shop and party with this girl like no other.

Miss North Carolina won Miss USA, this piece of news just made my day, it's weird I know.

Potato: Glad you finally bought the wallet and even happier that we shared a really big secret! Teehee

Back from Shanghai baby! I pity those who had to bear with my so-called "mandarin" on a daily basis. Have never read so much simplified chinese and order room service for god knows how many nights.

In other news, Norah Jones concert was a tad bit disappointing (although her voice was really effortlessly soulful). Perhaps my hopes were too high. The acoustics was somewhat lacking; there was a big fat guy who sat in front of me and ms. jones only sang for an hour or so...for the price of the ticket, i couldn't help but feel jipped. ack. whatever.

So how's everyone doing?

Been a freakin long time since I updated....don't even remember what happened in between. Currently in Shanghai!

Guess it's not that fun when it's 3:30am and I still got work to do.....but I shouldn't complain.....a) it's nice getting out of HK, feeling like a complete stranger while walking on the bustling streeets; b) my associate took me out to dinner, afterwards, we went to this dodgy place that sold DVDs for a buck each! Ridiculous! c)Feel like my mandarin is s-l-o-w-l-y improving......d) 2 of my clients are quite hot (even my guy colleague agrees, so you get the idea)

Alrighty.....that's all for now. Tata!

Kwani: Congrats on the job offer~ Would be fantastic if I could visit you in Boston!

today my mom had a long analytical discussion over why i haven't managed to lose a single pound ever since coming back to HK...given that I work so much, given my minor food poisoning episode in Jakarta...hm...that really beats me..I don't have an answer

but really, I could care less...would rather sleep for 2 more hrs than go to a gym. and sometimes, I think I like having some "substance" around my waist...doesn't it give you a sense of security? haha maybe i'm just giving myself loads of excuse! Dang...when can we go back to Tang dynasty's standards where chubby females are considered drop dead gorgeous!?

PS Thanks to all my friends for leaving msgs, feel so loved. Heh.

life has been good lately........had my first official saturday off of work partied it up with Alex "Honkie style", highlights include: first Walmart experience in Asia (Shenzhen); shopping for fake handbags across the border; old school activities- singing karoke and going to dingy video game stores in TST. i felt like i was in high school all over again. anyway, i am finally beginning to adjust to life in HK. i think i am beginning to fall in love with this cute little city that i have grown up with for 18 yrs
