I need sunshine...or something to perk me up!! Maybe my haircut today will do it for me. Given that I wasn't pleased with my cut last time, I will have to remind my hairdresser to not cut off too much. This time I'm getting colour, too. But at the moment, I don't want colour even if my hair is so dark. :? I'd love to get my hair straightened. You know, I like to be somewhat organised when it comes to having plans with other people. I don't like last minute planning or plans that come up last minute. Not that this is totally related (to you readers), but I have a potluck housewarming to go to tonight. In the invite email, it said arrive after 7. I just talked to someone else who was going, and he said he thought it started between 6 and 6:30. If I end up having plans after, having it start early would be lovely. If I have no plans after, having it start later would be okay. I am not going to know very many people there (nor well). I seem to have no problems staying out late. Sometimes I seem to desire it. Maybe it's that I don't like being at home. I bet after I move, I will want to stay in my own home and to enjoy it. I checked on my condo yesterday. They're now putting in windows, and the roofers are there, too. I wonder if I will be in by the beginning of summer. And it's tax time. The tax software I've been using for the last 3 years is almost double the price I first paid for :x I don't know if I want to stick with it this year to retain consistency or to try something cheaper. Last year, after my refund and buying the software, I think I came out ahead by ten whole bucks. I need to reinstall last year's version so I can get to my data. I had to reformat my drive this summer. My desk is so disorganised right now. There is hardly any empty table space. Good thing I am no longer a student. So here I am with a new web cam but nobody to use it with. I bought it in such haste with a person in mind, but he's off playing on his new guitar, I guess. :( And nobody else seems excited for me, either!! :x *L* Hmm...Valentine's Day is coming up. I've never been a big fan of it even when I wasn't single. I wonder what I'll do this year. Last year, I had to whip up some very very last minute cherry cheesecake tarts. I wasn't expecting anything date-like, but the guy I was semi-dating got me a card (and maybe something else? I forget.) My friend Tom says I'm always such a pessimist and that I'll probably be doing something with a guy. He also says I always have a couple of guys milling about. I dunno. I am going to take a quick power nap now. |

But don't feel like eating. I think I am feeling the effects of jet lag now. I am glad it's happening now rather than when I was away. I was pretty worried!! So today has been good...I think the sunshine lifted my spirits a little. I resumed my lotto girl duties (I hate that "job." I go buy lottery tickets for the people in my group at work. Thus I have to be checking on what the jackpots are, keep track of people's money, go buy lottery tix. I swear, if it wasn't for work, I'd never buy lottery tickets.). While I was at the mall, I decided to go in to the store to see if my glasses were ready!! And they were!! My new glasses are sooo light, but I don't think the fit is quite perfect yet. Gotta wait a bit for my eyes to adjust, too. And then I bought myself a web cam for a super good deal! I did pick up a webcam in Hong Kong (I still cry at the thought of all the computer stuff I couldn't bring home...the prices there just make me drool!), but I couldn't get the web cam to work. I got the Logitech Clicksmart 420. Once I get my rebate, it will have only cost me $30!! The price is listed at $160 at the Logitech Web site. I slept in this morning, but I went to bed quite late last night (like 2:30 am-ish). I'm not helping my jet lag :oops: but I was chit chatting away with my friend Tom (in Hong Kong) and Wayne. I have a crush on Wayne, but I must crush this crush!! He's in England!! |

I just had lunch with my boss; we went for Mexican. He wanted to hear about my trip. We have a really good Mexican place near by, and it's a pleasure to go there. However, it's like there's a boulder in my stomach now. The food is just sitting there, and it sure doesn't help that I haven't been eating much since I got home. Anyway, home...Maybe it's the weather being gloomy and all, or maybe I am still in vacation mode, but I'm finding my room at home very dreary. I think it's really time for a major cleanup. My only problem is that I don't like to get rid of anything, especially clothes! "Oh, I really liked that...maybe I will fit into it again soon." And then I always regret getting rid of something when I realise I can still have use for it. And there's a bad kink in my neck today. My buckwheat pillow isn't doing the trick anymore although it does keep my head nice and cool. I'm tempted to get one of those Tempur pillows. And maybe the mattress, too...when I move?? Mattress shopping ain't that great. |

My week in Australia was pure heaven...It's like there's too much to say about it, but at the same time, i've been retelling my stories since I've come home. :lol: Some tidbits: -I tried TimTams...They're these chocolate coated chocolate biscuits with a slightly creamy filling. You can bite off the ends and use 'em like a straw. SOoooo good. I brought a few packs home. They were going to be gifts, but I think I will keep them for myself!! They cost twice as much at the airports! -The shopping there was AWESOME! Clothes fit :D And were stylish yet unlike North America. Er, not to say North American clothes aren't stylish, it's just different. I came home with shoes, pants, skirts, and tank tops. -Seeing family was nice! My cousin, Toby, took time off work to be a gracious host the whole time! He's getting married in the next year or two. As long as it's not this year, I can go back! -Lots of beautiful people in Sydney. -I got sunburnt the second day I got there, and the weather pretty much turned overcast for the rest of the week. The thunderstorms were amazing!! -I got asked if I was from America a couple of times, and then if I was from China. :? -Food there is of excellent quality!! mmmm!! So I came back a few pounds heavier...that's okay. I'll work off the jiggles soon enough. And I haven't been eating enough the last couple of days; my body is definitely in starvation mode. OH yeah! And I traveled 24 hours to come home!! Sydney to Hong Kong, layover, Hong Kong to Vancouver. The guy sitting next to me on the Sydney to Hong Kong flight slept most of the way with his mouth open, and his breath was stinky. What else?? Those were the highlights!! One lowlight was one of the dudes working at the reception in our hotel. I wrote a complaint in a comment card!! He was unfriendly, condescending, and unprofessional!! Booo hisssss (Boooo hisss is something I"ve typing a lot today. I gotta stop that.) |

And poof goes the digicam :-( I am guessing it fell out of my bag in the taxi :-( I am choked at myself...and I am sad I lost today's photos, but not much I can do now!! I plan to buy another cam tomorrow, and check out the flash card prices. *sigh* |

It makes me randy. How frustrating!! There must be something wrong when everywhere I look are hot men (locals and tourists). *L* More eating and a little bit of shopping today. I went to pick up a pair of pants that I had altered, and they were too short :-( So...they're going to make an attempt to remedy the problem. I saw a Chinese movie today called Magic Kitchen. I was expecting something like that Penelope Cruz movie where she does all this cooking that makes people go loopy...but it was nothing like that. Good thing for subtitles because I do not know my Chinese slang!! Tomorrow, I'm meeting up with Tom and Eva at some point in the afternoon. Who'da thunk I'd have friends in Hong Kong??!! |

I am all confused, and my Internet connection has been on the fritz. Not too much to report ;-) I added several more photos to my photo blog. Been eating plenty and spending plenty, too!! A couple of years ago (the last time I visited Hong Kong, actually), I vowed to update my image, like look more mature and dress less casually. My image is still pretty much the same, but I am slowly buying more practical pieces. I probably going to start looking at accessories more, too. Usually, I wear a pair of jeans or khakis with a t shirt and runners. I don't wear a watch, and the only jewelry I wear is the stuff to keep my pierced holes open. I am also willing to pay a bit more of quality. However, I wish I was rich to enjoy the luxuries I'd desire. When I'm in a shopping mecca, and see nice things, I start to fantasize!! I saw some really, really nice things, but I am not at a point where I'd have no problem buying a $500 USD purse. That's like grocery money for two months!! So today I attended my friend, Tom's wedding. It was interesting not knowing anyone but the bride and groom. The dinner started at 9 and ended at 11:30...very typical of these banquets. But it was a beautiful day - hot even! Oh, and I wasn't dressed conservatively enough. :-( What worked for my office Christmas party did not work for this banquet!! I'm sure there was more I was going to say...But I don't remember anything else right now. |

More eating and shopping. I think I am driving my mother crazy with me taking photos of everything I can. I just want to capture every moment and every view because I don't know when I will come back to Hong Kong again!! I saw a Ben and Jerry's today!! Of course I had to have some ice-cream. Never mind that it's almost twice the cost as the US!! I think the texture is just slightly different. We can only get Ben and Jerry's in the supermarket in Canada, and it's always so packed in the container that I can only flick out little bits at a time. And by the time I can spoon out any good-sized portions, the ice-cream's melted :cry: So my aunt, mom, and I went grabbed some lunch at some Portugese place. The food was tasty!! And each patron got a free cup of orange juice on their way out. We mostly spent our time at one plaza today, and I bought some clothes (that fit, hehehee). I guess they fit because the clothes were from a European brand, so I got myself some slacks, a cashmere sweater, and some shoes. Recently, I decided to have some classic staples to my wardrobe, and those slacks and sweater are it. Then we went home, and I did a work out. That's about it. I mailed out 8 postcards today!! Now I will see how my photos turned out. I did not, however, snap any photos of hotties I saw today!! |

Today will be more eating and shopping, but I definitely need to find a wedding gift soon. I think I will get my friend and his bride some towels. I"d rather pick something practical rather than some Precious Moments figurines!! And gift registries are not the norm here, unfortunately. So...yesterday!! Was more eating and shopping. I got to see my cousin's new pad. It's definitely a bachelor pad. It looks so empty!! I also saw a lot of my great aunts and uncles. I gave one of my great uncles some cash, and he was so happy about the gesture. It made me wish I could afford to give him more. I think he's in his 80s...still sharp as a tack even though he walks slower than a snail's pace. I am too fat for this country. And I wish people would just shut up about it!! I already know clothes here fit different (and smaller frames). My mom seems embarrassed by my size. My aunt was like "you work out. Can't you do something to make your arms slimmer?" Lastly, the latest big news is about the death of a Cantopop superstar, Anita Mui. She died at age 40 from cervical cancer. I am so sad...She was my idol when I was a kid. Her career was as long as Madonna's and just that big to Chinese people. The grief that her fans are feeling remind me of the mourners when Princess Diana died. I am going to have to get some of her CDs. |

The flight wasn't that bad, but I'm glad my legs weren't any longer. It was pretty cramped on the plane. And the food was decent, too!! So my mom and I arrived around 8 am. Our flight was slightly delayed. My aunt, uncle, and cousin picked us up, and we dropped off our stuff at the apartment. Pretty much everyone lives in an apartment (charged by the square inch) here. There is so much hustle and bustler around right now, given that's almost Chinese New Year. We freshened up and went out for lunch. My mom and I went shopping after. She did well!! I didn't really buy anything...just some snacks. And we went for Japanese for dinner, and now I'm here. I hope I've adjusted to the time now. I've been feeling wide awake all day, and now I"m starting to feel tired, which is okay...since it's like 11:22 pm right now!! Good night!! |

I'm just about packed :D I just need to throw in some of my toiletries. I must not forget my toothbrush!! Apparently, it's really warm in Hong Kong right now :-( I have been prepared for winter weather. Booo... But even their cold weather has been warm to me. Hmm. If all fails, I can open the Australia suitcase. I've tried to keep all the summery stuff in one suitcase (including the bathing suit!) and the rest in the bigger one. I hope I've just done a bad job of packing because there won't be room for too much new stuff at the moment :wink: I used some new shampoo and conditioner today, and it's made my hair soft :D Tonight, I grabbed some dinner with Paula and Erin for Erin's birthday. That was fun. I had a chicken burger, and now I am stuffed. I also treated myself to a thick strawberry milkshake, too. I don't really want to watch my food intake while on vacation, but I am feeling a little sluggish from eating so much lately!! I might order a couple of things from Victoria's Secret before I leave tonight, if there's any good stuff from the sale left!! I guess I will update later!! In 17 hours, I will be in Hong Kong. I get there 8 am local time. I hope to not sleep for another 8 hours. *fingers crossed* I am mighty sleepy!! |

You know, they say to pack some toiletries and a change of clothes on your carry on if you're going to fly. I don't think I've ever done that, but it sure is a good idea in case anything happens. One of my friends just got to Vegas for CES (*sniff* I am not there), and the airline lost his luggage. The airline said they'd cover the cost of use of some of his stuff. Now this friend of mine...is very frugal..nah, cheap - even though he likes pricey stuff. He was complaining about having to pay $600 for car repairs (I guess I would, too...but I wouldn't go on about it) last week. So, he's bought a few things: "boxers, socks, and running gear (including shoes)". There is a 5 km run on Saturday he was planning on doing. I think if I were him, I would not have bought the shoes because I probably wouldn't get reimbursed for them, and 2 days is not really enough time to get used to a pair of shoes to run in a race. And to top it off, he's not there for the sake of racing...He's there to cover the convention. Sucks that his luggage got lost, though! I was at CES last year with this friend. I had fun, but I also got sick of sick of him because he was like my shadow!! Ugh, and he was all touchy-feely. At least he came to his senses after we got back. He seems to irritate me after some conversing these days. |

I was going to do that tonight...really...but Marcin (that's the correct spelling) called me back...we talked for 3 hours. That was interesting. He and I share the same birthday (with a year difference). Maybe we will talk again. So my cousin got back to me about the weather in Sydney, Australia. "Pack for spring to autumn." And it's winter in Hong Kong....So I guess I have to pack for all year round! Geeeeez!! *L* :lol: |

I wasn't going to turn my computer on again tonight, but I got too excited. Okay, so I decided to geek out and type a blog entry. I had to share the news with someone (even though I did phone one person)!! While I was on the phone tonight, my cell phone rang. Since I was already on the phone and didn't recognise the number, I didn't bother picking up. I kind of wish I had :wink: since I was already ending my current conversation. After I hung up, I checked my voice mail. Anyway, it was Marchi (sp??)!! I was so shocked!!!! I wanted to call the number back right away, honestly. But he said he'd try again. I hope he does. After I met him, I was totally kicking myself for not having asked his number. I had his friend's number. I'll call tomorrow night, maybe. I still have his friend's number. And I am leaving the country in two nights! So that's all I had to share. A guy called me. We met a month ago! I figured I could get his number off his friend, but his friend never called me back, and then some stuff happened when he moved?? I have no idea. And then I deleted his message by accident. Too bad he didn't include a number :x And then I tried phoning my friend in Hong Kong who's getting married. He picked up the phone, and then hung up...I gave up after two times. Boooo. I wanted to let him know I got his invitation!! |

Driving in the snow is fun as long as there's no one around you. My boss and our CEO suggested we all stay at home today, so that's what I'm doing!! At work, I do absolutely nothing at all. I think it's finally getting to me. I chit chat most of my day and surf the 'net. I don't really enjoy sitting in front of my computer doing nothing. At home I try not to sit at my computer unless there's something I need to do. I think I'd better get out more. |

But maybe I will wait before I go tinkle. After all, I am heading home soon. Tomorrow may be another day where I work from hom. We're supposed to get another 10 - 15 cm of snow tonight!! My boss told us to not take chances and to take some work home, just in case. Isn't he groovy? Tonight, the packing commences. I am not in the mood though. In fact, I'm feeling kind of blah at the moment. I think it's time for something new and refreshing to keep me entertained. |

Welcome back, t-bloggers! I guess the site went down last night while I was in the middle of typing my latest entry. I did save what I typed to a text file. Maybe I will post it later, or maybe not. Thanks to all for your comments about J, and thanks for putting up with my *constant* J entries. I had an update in the other entry, but to summarize, we had our talk and got some things out in the open. We both like each other even though we piss each other off. I hope the pissing off each other is something we can get past. I just need to be more aware of how others are feeling and probably express myself more often. So our official status is that we're "dating," whatever that really means. I'd like things to get more serious, but usually after these kinds of talks, my expectations change, and I also lose steam...letting the relationship totally fizzle out. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll see more effort from him. But if I don't, it'll be a see ya for sure. After all, this time he knows where I stand!! |

| The talk |
| 01.03.04 (2:32 pm) [edit] |
|
I know it's hated. So I told J I would swing by around 6:30, which got me an "em, okay." I planned for 6:30 because it'd be semi in between hockey games. If all goes well, I can stay and watch. If all does not go well, I can boot home and watch. OR...I can go to a birthday thing. Apparently, Stef was planning on going to this birthday thing. I think it'd be fun to see him again! Oh, and I wanted to get this talk out of the way before my trip in case "out of sight, out of mind" ended up being a good idea. Geez, I'm not sure how to make such an experience, i.e., the talk more pleasant. I suck at talking, anyway. I asked Paula if bringing treats would be a good idea. I think she thought I was crazy. All I know is that I want to know what he wants from me. Options: a) Friendship - I'd probably end up avoiding him, at least for a while and totally forget about him. And no more bedroom antics. b) Bed buddies - won't work for me because it's not worth it. c) Couplehood - It's something I'm willing to go for, but I'd express stuff that's been bothering me. And if he tells me doesn't know, which is very likely...Option a it is. No more screwing around!! (pun intended) |

My last convo with Stef...some background info...I had asked if he could bring me some Jelly Babies (candy) from England when he visited. He's given me two bags of however many he bought. But after New Year's, he's just left a bad taste in my mouth (and no, not literally.) And as he's not addressed anything from that night, he's not cool in my books. So here goes: stef: hello..... will there be anyone at your house later as i should drop off the rest of your jelly babies? me: no stef: no there wont be or no you dont want them? me: there won't be anyone around stef: ok stef: i will try to get them to you some other time then me: or you can shove them up your ass stef: well i see you are still being polite as usual stef: you know you are the one not being very nice and you never should have led me on by asking me to hurry up and come back me: F*** you. I never did. me: Leave me alone. stef: i wouldnt have bothered otherwise me: I don't ever want to hear from you again stef: ok |

I got the ball rolling with J on IM. I know (most) guys hate having talks. I hate them, too. But I had to ask him about getting together on the weekend. When he asked me what I wanted to do, I told him the truth! He was not excited about the idea of having a talk. And I said if he didn't want to have one, then to just say the word...else pick a day. He said he was fine with having a talk, but he's not picked a day, and I think he's left his computer. Geez, all I want is an answer so I can get on with my planning for my weekend. And I want this talk so I can get on with my life. I hate when things drag on, and when I want to get things accomplished, I don't want to pester. Why can't he just make things easy for me!! |

I slept in yesterday 'til about 12:30 pm since I went to bed some time after 4 am. And all day, I was tired and horribly cranky. I finally took a rest on my bed feeling a little weepy, even, and when I woke up an hour later, I felt better. Hungry but better!! Our kitchen still stinks. My mom made some duck last night, and she burnt the sauce. *teehee* I could barely eat last night because I was too hungry. I was going to see if J wanted to get together tonight, tomorrow or Sunday. If I don't talk to him soon, I will just chicken out, and then when I get back from my trip, things would probably be the same. I'm tired of trying to convince myself to hate him, and then go weak when he's nice to me. I must stop the cycle! The dilemma I face though, with timing...Tonight I want to go to the movie theatre to watch a hockey game, but we are due for more snow. So if I don't talk to him asap, I may not get a chance to before I leave!! And I definitely want to get this out of the way...even if times I think "aw screw it. I'll just forget about him." |

Happy new year, all :D I *was* going to go straight to bed after coming home from Stef's party, but since I wanted to record some thoughts before my feelings went away...here I am!! The booze was freely flowing; everyone had a good time. Let me emphasize the booze was freely flowing. Well, it was for Stef, that's for sure. I can overlook people getting silly because they're impaired, but I do draw the line at disrespect. Because I've never been drunk to the point of losing my mind, I really don't know if I can say this...but can you really blame your own actions purely on alcohol? So...Stef...Everything was cool at the beginning of the party (meaning he pretty much left me alone), but as soon as midnight came around, so did he. He was touchy-feely, and he offered to drive me home ... in the morning. I said, "no, thanks." But he was still all over me. I did the best I could to make sure some line was drawn. It was obvious he was really drunk. So with him trying to grope me and stuff and me moving his hand and telling him to cut it out, he eventually told me that I should "lighten up." For some reason, that really pissed me off. I know I can be pretty quiet and lifeless when I'm not comfortable. Then I said to him, "I think you should leave me alone." And he was like, "what! I'm only here for another week" to which I retorted, "I can't have this conversation now." Then I got up off the couch, and sat down somewhere else. When I am really POed, which is not that often...I get quiet, and I avoid the person I'm POed at. I don't even want to make eye contact. Thank goodness we left shortly after that. I really didn't want to be there anymore. I didn't even bother saying bye to him for fear of saying something I'd regret. I am mad at the situation because: -I felt like a piece of meat. -He was disrespecting my wishes to get out of my personal space. -He put me down for being me. Cussing is something I rarely do as well...but I just want to say "f*ck you, horny ba$tard!!" So...I'm sure my emotions are a little high right now, and I know I will get over what happened, but I have absolutely no interest in being nice to Stef anymore. In my dreams, he can grovel. |
