Just back from grandmother's funeral. Now in Hong Kong. Back to work. Busy day...

Just been back from Macau again. Quick trip. Had dinner there. Went with tony.
Leaving for Tianjin tomorrow. Be back on next Tuesday. Hope for a better tomorrow...

I think I am slowing drifting away from the shadow of carol. She had made me not-myself throughout the whole year 2000 and also carried on to the biginning of year 2001...... daniel came back. He told me that carol's not worth it. He said carol's too negative. It might not be what daniel had said. However, this triggered my sense of being myself again. I dumped my passionated activities such as listening to classical musics and swimming after I was with carol. I bought a few CDs recently. I listen to them. I read books about classical musics again. I am beginning to enjoy life. I am definitely not trying; as a matter of fact, I am enjoying my life now! I'd recommand you to read books written by Swafford, Jan if you want to explore what's available in the classical music as a biginner.

I mindlessly clicked into someone else page through the Blogger.com's frontpage link list, found Evelyn's Journal. Her grandmother had just passed away, too...

10:45p.m.: my grandmother (my mother's mother) died.
My mother has just called in telling me this news, crying.
She was trying to leave for Tianjin to see grandmother the beginning of next month.
Couldn't make it...

Just saw a VCD, "Ordinary Heroes", directed by Ann Hui.

Calafonia Red Karaoke, Causeway Bay. Over 40 people has packed in the same room yesterday night. daniel called that K. party. Friends started to gather up packing the room since 00:30a.m. this morning. What a scene! Most of the people in the room even daniel himself doesn't know!
I met M.. She's cute. She's probably qualified to be my girlfriend except that she's a smoker. I think I like her very much anyway.
Went house hunt with nelson and his gf, meiyee this afternoon. We thought we finally got the one we like. We're going to make an offer to the agency tomorrow morning.
Just made a call to #3. She's in Shanghai still studying and working. She's working hard on her TOFEL now. I think she's really prepared to go aboard.

daniel and I had serious doubt about tony's explaination of the sudden act of leaving his former gf, victoria. tony and victoria were such acknowledged pair of couple that friends like daniel and I were all looking forward to the wedding day of them to come. And look at what we have now: victoria's broken heart and the embarassment that tony's facing in HK (basically just daniel and I, haha!). daniel and I were such prick.... sign... hee hee....
In order to get tony to confess, daniel and I made fun of tony often with insensitive jokes about his relationship and further quest for love. tony's response was indifference.

Went to Energy Karaoke in Causeway Bay the day before yesterday night. Spent HK$230. Gosh! I really couldn't affort it no more! daniel called me to go. V. came, too. The more I saw V., the more I liked her.
Magic!
She told me she's leaving for UK 2 weeks later. I asked if she'd ever come back. She said something like "anytime" though I had no idea what that meant... The K. room's music was too loud to allow me to have a comfortable inquisition. Furthermore, I thought she's leaving anyway. What could I do, right?
right...... sign...

I visited Queens Bar & Disco in Central near my office. Daniel and his friend went. He's calling me to go to a bar called Liquid tonight. But I am in fact very tired now... what shall I do... :(

orthoevra.org is a domain name I registered recently.

I am looking for Lahela Lyndsay (hope I got it right!). This is a net friend I met in a chat room (either excite or yahoo) a year ago. She's been acting kind and considerate comforting me about the lost of my girlfriend. She's living in Maui, Hawai. Her father was a teacher. She got a boyfriend with a name similar to the nickname I used often... balabin... something.... well...
I lost her contact method. I hope I may be able to get in touch with her again! :-)

Japanese are just so creative and "professional" about sex... check this out:

fung's friend has been setting up a new company doing rave party business. They has already held a successful one called P.L.U.R. at L.A. Cafe in Admiralty a month ago. I found an interesting site that talks about the rave party's essential drug:
ecstasy.org

Sang with nelson, michael and their gfs yesterday night in WaiChi. In the mean while, daniel was holding another K party at California Red in Causeway Bay. He urged me to check out for "suitable" girls and to hang out with!
I went!
I was disappointed since their was none! :-) I was also glad that I went since I saw michelle there!
In short, michelle is an extremely "accommodating" person. She's performing unlike the michelle I had lunch with! Last night, she was into the "daniel ex-girlfriend mood" as I subjectively put it... hahaha :-)
Gosh... I had fun.
V. arrived late last night. She's, still, pretty pretty. Anyhow, she's not "suitable", anyway...
I went back to sang with nelson's gang after I socialized with daniel's gang for a while. vancouver's jennifier (alice's sister) was there last night, too! What a pleasant surprise! Many ppl are back to HK now...

RH has just invested in us. RH's also helping us to raise our next round of funding. We're going to meet a CEO of a Taiwan high-tech company tomorrow at 2:30pm at RH's office. He's a friend of RH. Amonic's working shareholders held a strategic meeting tonight(yesterday night I should've said). Our strategy tomorrow is going to be as frank as possible since everybody knows that the market's not really performing so if we still play it the "prestigious" way, we might not get the funding to continue. Products that we've developed need funding to be further developed and be promoted. Cross figures that everything goes well tomorrow.
Joined dinner with daniel and his female friend called V.. She's pretty pretty. ;-p

GOT rejected from F. after I attempted to confirm the lunch by calling her. Sign... :}

Now I am living in office. First night. Lawrence's gonna be here as well. We've just finished discussing some issues regarding our company's direction and what our future might hold.
I called F. today for a lunch date on Wednesday. I didn't know why I made it on Wednesday. But I made it on Wednesday anyway. :p My heart beats.
DD ICQed me today. I confessed to DD that I had had a crush on her while I was with carol but "withdrew my crash" afterward due to some reasons... which is: "I love carol." She said that she had sensed it then. I said I was amazed. Afterall, sensitivity is every girl's basic instinct!
DK had dinner with ML. Eager to hear what they have to say about their first date after their break-up few years ago. Well, ML's going to get married on September, 2001 anyway. I believe there's nothing much DK can do except wishing her happy.
What a day today of love affair finale!

I made a call to carol couple of days ago.
What if I didn't make that call?
On 28th of Feburary 2001, Seattle earthquake measures 6.8 on the Richter scale. Vancouver was affected somehow. Once I got the news in the morning of HK time, I called my little brother, Gordon, who's in Vancouver. He said he was bumped up and down a few times off the sofa while he's watching TV. Later that day, I made a call to carol on the tram while heading my way to meet a client.

How's it quake?
It's ok.
What? (bad signal)
If there's nothing much, please don't call anymore.
What? (I didn't get it.)
If there's nothing much, please don't call anymore!
What?
(offline)

Couldn't help myself but tried to keep my reputation as "not considerate", I wrote a email to carol saying things like:

My voice makes you sick, isn't it? I really hope the answer is a "no" though I'm not sure about my judgement anymore after talking to you on the phone this morning. Please tell me the truth, ok?

I got an ICQ message from carol today goes:

what i said the other day was....if there's nothing much, please don't call anymore. Thank you.
Thought you wanted an honest answer.

I replied with:

I was a bit worry about you. I think it's being considered "nothing much", right? I shall respect what you said and wait till there's "something much" to call you again la...

And this is the end of another "healthy" and "constructive" conversation carol and I had.
