I still have one more exam waiting for me, that's like a week away from now. I don't know, I feel REALLY happy today. :) So... I have to write a post for you! Or simply for my own entertainment. HA! Well, whatever it is for, I have much to tell. First off, have you guys miss me?? Hehe, don't be shy! I know you do. :D
Again, I am honestly super happy today. Hehehe, I can't stop smiling! The weather is so nice. It's now like early summer without the humid sticky feeling, you know. It's sunny, a little breezy, but you won't sweat like you have to worry about your melting mascara. I mean, I am a simple person, little things like this can already make me smile. :) You know I like Cheshire Cat, it's even the background of my blog. Because, well, I like big bright smile like him! ( It's a Him, many people think it's a She ) I am chubby like him and I like the pink and purple colour, he is funny And I like Alice in the Wonderland! So, he is pretty much my favourite cartoon character.
Earlier today, I went shopping with my little bro and my mom. There was a new supermarket close to my home, so it was quite crowded. And we were happy about it, as everything was new and clean and looking good! And the air con! So cooling! Made me even happier! :D Then I asked my mom to get some jelly powder, since it's getting hotter and our new fridge is really cold, so we can make loads of jelly really quickly. Funny thing is I went to the food aisle, looking for the powder. Since the supermarket has just opened for like two days, staff are still stocking. So, that guy was stocking up the jelly powder section Really Carefully. It makes me think of how little kindergarten kids playing with their Lego. Have you guys been to that situation?? I was standing next to him on that really narrow aisle , hoping that he would notice my existence and let me get my things first. But he was SO into his work, he insisted to get all the boxes nicely stocked, then he finally stepped away and let me get the powder.
Anyway, I successfully bought two boxes of mango favour and a Lychee jelly powder. I was thinking about that guy - He was so concentrated on his job, and I was somehow disturbing him. Now I am impressed by his passion towards his job, but I was quite annoyed by his stubbornness at that moment. On the other hand, as a matter of fact, I destroyed his artwork! That nicely structured wall of jelly powder now has a three-boxes big hole on it! It's like I am the Giant Evil Godzilla destroying the perfect castle of an innocent kid! I am such a horrible person!!! Awww...
Well, since I mentioned my mom, let's talk about the cute little souvenir her colleague bought her. As you can see, it's a pretty plastic knitted 'basket' that has the ginger tea inside. Isn't it so adorable? I guess it's something not so expensive, but this is the kind of thing I would prefer my friends get me when they buy me souvenir. Something local from that place, you probably have not seen it in your life, tiny cute and cheap! If it is edible, bonus marks!
Oh! It reminds me of an unfortunate story of mine. So, that was me at like 15. My school was organizing some kind of trip to Cambodia, for us to experience how life is like in the so called third world country. I thought it's such a cool idea! The purpose of it was not sight seeing, but something more. Activities included visiting the Rubbish Hill where kids would collect rubbish to eat/sell for their living, doing voluntary work and helping the local community. It's like paying to work for people. Economically speaking, it's nonsense. Spiritually speaking, it's gaining once in a life time experience. I always like this kind of things. I mean trying things that normal people wouldn't do just makes me feel good. It makes me feel special! But the unfortunate thing is there was some kind of disease I forgot what that was. Maybe swine flu? I really forgot, I just remember I was so disappointed that has to be cancelled.
A totally unrelated note - What are people listening to these days? I am a dummy at music. I always stick with my oldies. I like Prince, Beatles, The Carpenters, Sade, Jazz Music, Dolly Parton... Well, I do listen to mixtapes ( Thanks to Mr. Porcupine ) and I also like Jack White. I mean, it's kind of hard for a person like me to add new tracks to my list. Hmm, hard to explain... You know, sometimes it does get boring to listen to oldies no matter how much I like it. Sometimes, you want New Stuff. Something that blows your mind but still in your comfort zone. I used to visit HMV every Saturday after my tutorial class. But it was like two years ago. So, I really don't know much about the music industry except Gaga and Oh Land nowadays.
For those of you who don't know Oh Land, check her out! She is in my comfort zone, maybe in yours too?
This song is called Wolf and I. Haha, also was introduced by Mr. P.
And this one is my favourite from her - Lean.
You might laugh, but I am being honest to you. Not until a week ago, then I know who Adele is. First, I still thought her name is pronounced as A-di-le. Hahaha, shame on me. Well, I LOVE her! She is a real singer, not an entertainer like others. Look at Gaga, I like her for her care and love for our society. She has her style, her songs are nice too.
She doesn't have pop songs and she doesn't consider herself as pop singer, but Adele really is a good SINGER. And I like her personality so much! Have you watched her Royal Albert Hall performance?? That is amazing! Yeeesss, I confess that I was listening to it for like 5 times for the past two days when I was studying. ( Hey, that just kept me from falling asleep! )
For your entertainment and to enrich this post, I present to you my recent favourite. ( I couldn't believe there is a full length version of the concert!!! Yay! )
Alright! So that's pretty much what's on my mind, now you are a new friend of my brain. Cool! And I want to thank you, from all around the world reading my blog. I guess quite a number of you may be just passing by, not even really Reading my article, but I Thank You! It feels good, so I simply take you as my followers! Hehe.
Go out and enjoy the nice weather of April. There are so many interesting things going on in April here in HK! I am definitely going to those exhibitions and gatherings and joining festivals to take pictures and experience and tell you all about them afterward! I think I am going to some of the old districts in HK after my exams, as some of the buildings there will be tore down. :( That's the bad thing in HK, maybe other parts of the world too. It's hard to preserve and develop at the same time. But I always think that the special something about a place is always its history and characteristic. Yes, I am proud to tell you that the density of skyscrapers in HK is higher than Manhattan. However, it looks all the same in big cities, right? When you travel to other places, you will take a look of their tallest building with the strange design for sure. But you will be more interested in exploring their old and traditional places, those are more impressive to me.
... Anyway, I will be visiting a frozen baby mammoth in a financial center, which is from Siberia. COOL, huh?!?! Make sure you will watch the whole Adele Royal Albert Hall concert. I Love it when she says 'Royal Albert Fucking Hall!' and 'He was an 'arsehole' and I was a bitch, so it just wasn't gonna work anyway.' I like her because she is always being herself.
So, my friends, always remember to drink the soup that your mama prepares for you before it gets cold. Otherwise, her hearts will get cold too. I will talk to you next time. Be happy.
Love, S.
