Home Comforts

After being stuck in the frikkin' cold for months, I'm so glad to be back in Hong Kong for my break. I've literally pampered myself within the last 48 hours, ranging from bath soaks and leg waxes to the hair salon session and real manicures. And it's nice to have someone looking after me and thinking for my meals for once. Now I need some retail therapy.

I can finally feel my sanity returning to me now. I actually feel like a human again.

Ugh, it ought to be finished by now!

Damn me for not working faster. Damn me for getting distracted really easily. Damn damn damn. Man, I just hope that this Triumph comp is worth my zits. And I need a good scrub. And a warmer bed. Damn you Shanghai for being this cold still!

Edit: I plan to go home on time tomorrow. Work work work! 'cuz I need a full body scrub at New Star. I hope it's not closed by the time I get there tonight!

How Embarrassing!

I think I should stop being so passive. Wait, it's all the fatigue's fault. I was shopping for some extra fabric at the market, and I was asking for a certain silk print that the stall didn't have. Apparently, the one that I wanted was only 2 positions away! Damn me for causing this embarrassment! Damn my fatigue!

Thankfully, both the store people were nice to me at the time and laughed it off when they saw how totally tired I looked.

Man, Triumph is killing me.

Slumdog Millionaire

Overall, I thought it was a pretty good movie. Of course, it has its funny moments, but I truly loved the storyline for being realistic instead of playing the events down. Especially in situations where it's flee or die.

The sideways nod/shake is so typically Indian though! Hahaha.

SOTM: Rescue (KAT-TUN)

It's been a while since I did those Song of the Moment (SOTM) entries. I feel like a teenager again! =P


kattun - Rescue - Kattun

But yes, the latest one that got stuck in my head is KAT-TUN's latest release Rescue. Initially, I didn't even like the song that much, but after watching the video twice or so, it sort of grew on me a bit. Mainly because I love the black and white theme and the dance sequence. And Nakamaru's beatboxing sounded really cool here. Cooler than what he did in Lips. Of course, other than Akanishi and Ueda, they all have new hairstyles, which is refreshing.

I need a new layout for this blog. The dots just don't suit me at all, but I refuse to use the common black preset template that the entire population of bloggers on blogger use. Then again, I probably wouldn't be able to do that until I actually get my ass back home.

And I'm doing something completely different and new to me. Last week, sort of like out of whim when my crazy (but adorable) teacher breezed past me and suggested I take part in the Triumph Inspiration Award '09 design competition. I'm part excited and part nervous about taking part. Obviously, there are so many people who will be taking part I doubt I'll be able to get through with my limited design experience. But hey, it will be good fun. =)

Chinese website (Chinese only)
International website (English) - for some reason, the Great Firewall of China blocked this. tsk.

Yeah, I'm known to own a series of blogs. But since I'm not even allowed to log into Livejournal or iBlog while in China (which really sucks, because I was a dedicated blogger until 2 years ago), I might as well start a new one.

So yes, I shall officially nickname it...the new procrastination station! Because I'm meant to be doing something else other than blogging. =P
