Ok this doesn't make sense

You Are 10% Boyish and 90% Girlish

Even if you're not a girl, you're very feminine.
You're in touch with your feelings, and your heart rules you.
A bit of a emotional roller coaster, one moment you're up and the next you're down.
But no matter what, you try to be as cute and perky as possible.

Oh gee....

Your Brain is 60% Female, 40% Male

Your brain is a healthy mix of male and female
You are both sensitive and savvy
Rational and reasonable, you tend to keep level headed
But you also tend to wear your heart on your sleeve
弊!突然想到五月天O個首 雌雄同體 woh.....@_@

Mini Book Review

Remember i said i plan to read at least one book every month? Ok i am delighted to announce that I am actually doing it!!! Here's a list of books i've read since May '06 and a mini book review:

The Five People You Meet in Heaven - this book is a gift from a friend, so i really feel bad about saying this (to the person who gave me this book: Please dont take this personal~). The story got some touching moment, but overall it was overrated and i honestly don't understand the hype for this book. I've done this personality test and it saids I lack empathy. Will my opinion towards this book be proof?

The Da Vinci Code - the story was well written but that stupid fact list/statement on the first few pages of the book is completely misleading which ruins everything (see Wiki for a list of errors in the book). It's a nice 'beach read' but Dan Brown is definitely incapable of writing a long lasting masterpiece (at least not yet).

The Glass Castle - is surprising good! Real life drama that's stranger than fiction. All i can say is that there are all sorts of people in this world.

Eat, Shoots and Leaves - is a book about grammar. I don't understand why it's the national best seller in the UK since the material is so dry! I obviously feel quite different from the people who gave praise to this book. I mean what's so good about this book???

Digital Fortress - after reading this book i think i am done with Dan Brown's stuff. What a 'one-trick guy'! The characters are almost identical to the ones in The Da Vinci Code and again it deals with code breaking (Surprise surprise!).

Confession of a Shopaholic - i'd call this another one of those 'leisure read' and it's actually funny! I can definitely relate to the shopaholic girl. :P It's one of those no-brainer books but hey i need a break once in a while. I will definately read the other books in the series.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time - it's a pretty interesting story that explores the mind of a teenager with Autism. I really like this book

The Alchemist - a short read but it has deep meanings and inspires you in thinking about things in life. It's not exactly life altering but it gave me new meaning to things.

蔡瀾六談日本 / 蔡瀾四談日本 - these two books are collection of articles written by 蔡瀾 on Japan and the Japanese culture. Since Mr. Choi is such a picky eater he also talks a lot about Japanese food and where good restaurants are located. I do enjoy reading his books cuz it gives me a better understanding of the Japanese and their culture. The information will come in handy when i go to Japan.

Dispatches from the Edge - this is a memoir by Anderson Cooper, the CNN anchor. You might remember him as the one who bashed the governer of Louisanna on national television. I enjoyed his book although all the war, disaster and chaos mentioned in the book were quite depressing. Mr. Cooper is also quite a depressing person. As i read the book I wonder why cant he just cheer up and take it easy, but then i am not him and i dont know how i would've handled things if I lived a life like his. (loss of loved ones etc)

So there you go, my mini book review. I am currently reading 24 Declassified: Veto Power. Ok it's a lame book but i am going to finish it anyway. I was hoping the book will offer some information on the characters before 'Day One' but unfortunately it didn't. :( One thing for sure is that the book IS NOTHING LIKE THE TV SERIES!

Finally ... the next gen ipod nano!!!

I think it's time for me to get a new ipod~~~~ :D

More about the next gen ipod / nano / shuffle here!

What should i get? Right now it's either the 8gb nano or the 80gb ipod. I am leaning a bit towards the nano tho....

And the new Shuffle is kinda cute! I might just get it to use for work-out. Haha i am so ready to say bye-bye to my old ipod! :P

Where were you on 9/11?

Me?
It started out as another normal day. As usual I cut through the Delta Bow Valley Hotel on my way to work to avoid waiting for the pedestrian light. Something was unusual when I passed by the lounge area. The big screen TV that was usually off in the morning was tuned to CNN, and all eyes were on the image of a building that resembles a chimney with smoke coming out from the top. A hotel staff rushed out from the concierge said he heard another plane crashed at the Pentagon (???) ... it was quite strange and you knew right away that something's not right. I couldn't stop to find out what's going on, so I took out my phone and called home. My dad picked up the phone and I asked him what's going on. He told me that two planes crashed into the WTC and another one at the Pentagon, and that "US is in pretty big trouble today". Everything seemed pretty surreal as the story unfold through out the day. The whole thing really scared me. I remember I had a hard time falling asleep that night from thinking about the number of people who died at the WTC.


After 5 years, most people like me moved on. It'll definitely be different for those who lost their loved ones on this tragic day. This is probably the best way to cope with the fear of terrorism. Another method is probably by thinking that Jack Bauer will come to the rescue. :P

Happy Birthday Airlo!

Today's my friend Airlo's birthday, so i just want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hope your day was happy la~ P-ta's been a great friend from the Uni years. To be honest i don't really understand what made us became good friends, since we've never been in the same class and we lived at the opposite ends of the city. Oh well who cares cuz this guy is funny in a stupid sort of way (haha :P) and can easily make me roll off a chair from laughing so hard. I talked to him last night and he sounded the same. Can't imagine him running a big factory full of his employees. :D Hope to see you in HK soon! I know i can depend on you for bringing me to places with good food~

Like, the Best Wedding Ever!

September 2, 2006 was the big day for my friend Gigi and Andy! I hear the saying that it's so easy for something to go wrong on the wedding day, but in this wedding everything was well organized and was just perfect! Maybe you wouldn't get an honest opinion from me cuz i was involved in the planning and execution stage (hehe). Seriously, i've been to a few weddings in the past, in comparision Gigi and Andy really did a fantastic job, like there was nothing overdone, nothing lame, stupid or tacky, and everything was done in good taste down to the wedding favors which is a nicely wrapped chocolate bar. I've seen people spending a small fortune on some pretty tacky stuff, and it definitely didn't happen at this wedding. Everything was oh so sweet! :D Hehehe~ Gigi, if you do read my blog, i just want to say that i am so excited for you, who's been such a great friend through the years! You look absolutely flawless on your special day~ Nice to know that you are in good hands cuz I know Andy will be able to take good care of you for the rest of your life! We've come a long way since we became friends, and i am just so glad to be a part of your big day and witness this perfect union between two exceptionally special and nice people! Ok let's stop before i start sounding lame... :) I am waiting for your gift you when you come back from your honeymoon ok? :P

It's kinda funny to be involved as helpers in a wedding. I felt like i was a participant on the Apprentice or something (i just finish skipping thru last season a few days b4 the wedding), i tried so hard to get the project done and make sure everything was ok. I am pretty sure i did fine and wont end up in the boardroom, right? ;)
