246: Flying

This post is written shortly before leaving for Hong Kong/Macau. Finally, the day has come. I've been planning, and saving for this for the past 8 months, and the moment has arrived for me, to finally be able to travel to Hong Kong. I dare say, this trip is slightly more meaningful to me, as it is fully funded my myself, and everything is paid for by myself.. even though there are some set backs,and some play-offs, i guess i have to look beyond that, and just plan to have a good time there. after all, i have travelled london city alone so many times, what is hong kong to me?

did my theme class last night. although the class wasn't as full as the other theme classes, i was still very proud of myself. i managed to bring the class to another level all together, and it was one of the best moments that i have managed to achieve like, since i started teaching. i hope i did make a change, but even if i didn't, at least i know i did a good class.

there may be things that i may be mistaken, and i think it's silly to assume. i guess the old adage that assuming makes an ass out of you and me seems a little true. probably it is not what it seems, or people's mask can be just so amazing that i cannot see through.

then, there are things which i have witnessed, and think i am right. certainly, it should be a good thing, but i guess goodness doesn't really come to me often. and certainly not this time. however, i don't hope to see any denial, and if only we could live by the truth. what is the point of looking so far, when the close faults are ignored .

anyway, am leaving now for my flight.. until next time.

birthdays?

15 days had passed, and it's the end of the chinese new year celebration. For me, it's not exactly a grand do, but it's also not exactly a new year that i can forget. Compared to the person that i was many years ago, i've toned down by leaps and bounds. in fact, i do not look forward for chinese new year as much now.. [heck, i look forwards to nothing now].

apart from celebrating the end of the new year (which was nothing), we also celebrated alan's birthday last night. it was such wonder to see the surprise on his face, and seeing him so happy on the night itself. the dinner, the presents and presence (quote unquote from the b'day boy) and the two lovely cakes. being able to celebrate with him also generated another thought of mine... that i should avoid doing anything this year. in fact, i should just run away, take a vacation, go somewhere and avoid all these.. i should have severed all connections, turn off my phone and the internet and all, and go MIA for the day (or two).

today seemed a little weird for me, as i'm bowled over by a flurry of emotions. probably it's just me being me, but i somehow can't explain what i am feeling now. earlier, about noon, i was so happy, jumping on my chair, rejoicing on the fact that my ticket to hong kong has been booked. the euphoria was so much that i even agreed for a bangkok trip soon..

however, i think it died down a moment ago, and got me thinking and relooking my thoughts. why am i so happy?? should i be so happy?? and what is wrong with me??
even the very fact that my boss just informed me that he'll revise my pay (doubling the increment), i still couldn't share the happiness. heck, something must be really wrong with me...

anyway, i guess that's all for now. btw, go watch red cliff 2, if u love ancient china history. it's really really nice, and takeshi kaneshiro is simply awesome in it.. superb effects too, and great closure to the first part.

Legs..

Here's one thing i've learn from yesterday's bodyjam session : Don't stand in front of the photographer, especially when he's bending down to take a shoot..

heck, those are my legs. and now, they're publicly being displayed on the internet and on facebook.. and it kinda generated hell lots of comments, regarding my legs.. now, i do wonder how am i gonna walk the earth again.

anyway, i think i'm addicted to another sinful item : chatting on msn. i seem to be using msn all the time, chatting and chatting and chatting... but actually, i'm the last person who would want to strike up a conversation in the first place.. so, why am i such a 'warm' person online??
heck, i wonder if i would suffer from withdrawal syndrome if i ever get off from msn.
oh, btw, i'm also deeply addicted to facebook. previously, i couldn't be bothered with it.. now, i can't live without it...yikes

am starting my Chinese New Year holiday in 3 hours time.. haha. just can't wait for this working day to end, and i'll be on leave until the 1st of february. haha. honestly, i really really love the season, as i get to enjoy myself, and immerse myself in the rich traditions and culture of the chinese..

and since i'll be away for quite a number of days, i guess this will be my last post for a while.. haha

ok guys,'Gong Xi Fa Cai' to all..
