For the third consecutive day I had phone conversation with a new ICQ friend of mine who's living in Shatin. Her name is Winnie. She's 19. I had fun talking to her.
Went to little Alan�s wedding ceremony. He's getting married with Janet. I caught a cold. Was too tired for the last two days because of rushing Alfonso's SMS website project.

Finally, saw the movie "What Women Want". (link to Rotten Tomato) & (link to Yahoo Movies)
It came highly recommended by carol. It's a really good movie. I would have wished that I could be as sensitive as Mel Gibson in the movie. But it's just too bad that selfish ME always put MY own feeling as priority!
Saw the Korean Movie, "Happy End". (link to Chicago International Film Festival)

Haven't blogged for a while. Opened the blog area, seeing something not written by me gave a minor heart attack.
Seriously! I am not kidding!
But afterall, what a pleasant surprise! Yeah! I am glad! Hah!
Well.... I was wanting to mumble some of my recent encounters with girls. So here we go:
But-Sou came back for summer job. He's now working as a magazine photographer. He has a friend who is living in Cheung Chau called TC. TC introduced me to his friend SS when we went out for Karaoke one night. SS was charming. She reminds me of the girl studied in UBC who initially dated the Fairchild TV Eric. SS is the mature version of her. SS works in Andersen. I dated her to one lunch and one dinner. That's it. No more dating with SS. I have to remember that... though it's tempting to date her again since she's kinda... "I wanna date her" type... well... what I am talking about ..... . . . . ..... .... In short, doesn't work out at all.

Disastrous!

VY... another girl. She went to the same senior high school with me. But-Sou is more acquaintant with her than me since I didn't hang out much at that time. YV is now working in ING. I had never found her to be attractive until recently. I've tried to get close to her. One point I found out about myself during the "getting close" process is that I have less interest and pay less effort in pursuing female subject if she's less sexually appealing!!! And VY is exactly the case! She's perfect in many ways that I would rate her highly. Nonetheless, I didn't have the enough eagerness to pursue her like I did for carol. The reason is simple after some evaluation (day dreaming during office hour):

"Her breasts are not big enough!"

I don't fantasize making love to her at all. This is the, as Ken Young called it, GATING FACTOR!!!!

"Disgusting ME!"

Almost forgot, I met GT, a tall girl who had modeled for carol and I at the Parker Place fashion show. GT bumped into me on the street. She called out my name first! She's the kind of girl who looks mature but young at heart. I had one dinner date with her. She hinted that she's opened to my pursuit if I was interested... only if I didn't mind the fact that she already had a 6-year stable boyfriend and a 3-months affair with another married man......

This is how Hong Kong's girl behave... soooooo "modern"!

Cousin Lay Lay came to Hong Kong to visit grandmother with her fiance. Her fiance is an eye surgeon.
Damn... she married a physician doctor...
(well... this is definitely just kidding.... I would hate myself if I take that male-physician-doctors-are-all-bad-guys thing to cousin Lay Lay's husband...)
Mr. Right is a such a fine gentleman. Yes, I can tell. Cousin Lay Lay's happiness flooded inside-out!!!
I was coming to recognize myself as a gentleman outside but non-gentleman inside type... (just to be a little gentle to myself... Hah...)
I was afraid that I cannot change this.
And I have to accept myself as a non-gentleman despite the fact that many women have been telling me that girls like to be gently treated.

Phoebe came back from vancouver to take summer break. She's leaving on Monday. Aaron, TO, Tin Yee, and Joseph came out for gathering twice. The first time at Joseph's home, and yesterday at the Admiralty J.W. Marriott. We had, like always, profound discussion of all the topics in the world we could think of. These group of friends are quite unique. We are close in terms of relationship but remotely separated either by location or career practice. I talked about this ericarol.com website I've been working on to Aaron and Phoebe. However, I didn't told them the url. This ericarol.com is kind of a special place for me to mumble something...

"Over Time", the Japanese TV episode, is again, a re-run of the break-up of carol and I. This time, the story shows a even more resemblant case in terms of the characters' personal background. Sign...
My birthday was such a great one. The reason of it being so great this year is that there is plenty of people greeting me through phone and e-mail. All the best people I've ever know came to greet me! Yeah! No celebration this year. I am working on the tender proposal since nelson and his gf went off for vacation to Thailand. It's due 15 hours later! And I have to ship this proposal to Macau... along with myself since I've got an appointment there as well!
Talked to father. He's like in the really really up northern China now... having a conference there showing off his inventions. He's dating quite a number of girls, too. All too very young! All young enough to be qualified to be my gf instead of his! Had phone conversation with mom and brother in Vancouver, too. My brother, Gordon, is exploring the opportunity of working in RCMP.

Had phone conversation with dad. Miss his birthday. He told me that I had missed the Father's Day as well. Well, kinda relieve that Father's Day hasn't arrived yet so that I would still have a chance to make up for missing his birthday greeting. Called dan. Her interior design business seems to be going quite well. She said that she's probably coming to Hong Kong for a vacation. Had meeting with Eureka, louis & fanny + their new partners, daniel & steven. l & f dropped by our new office to pay visit to fung, lawrence, terence, and gavin. f, l, t, g shown l & f the work they did. I think l & f were quite impressed. Daniel agreed. Had lunch with Daniel. Chatted. He's kinda excited about the opportunity of getting the funding from the Eureka gangs but not spending on the IT related field. Funny idea maybe. But I kinda got carried away, too. His 3D inventor uncle, my father's patented inventions, blah, blah, blah... even micelle�s idea of founding her own company... blah...
nelson and his gf had dinner with their newly wedded couple.
nelson�s fond of the elder daughter of our office building�s landlord. The rest of the office gang was all excited about the younger daughter of the landlord. Fung was flirting his best with the Brenda. It�s hilarious! Elder = Ida + Younger = Brenda
Brenda, in my opinion, a less (but still) good-looking and horizontally compressed version of Monica� yeah� she reminded me of Monica� Hah�

1st June: Office moved.
Now using dialup Internet access... damn slow.
ADSL coming tomorrow.
Mr. To referred Cancer Fund programming job to us. 2nd meeting today.
Daniel was back yesterday.
Stanley called me to go to the Leon Lai concert on Friday tomorrow. He got free tix for 2. I told him to let me be his backup guest of honor! Letting Jones, the girl he's pursuing, be his date! Hope everything went well for him.
