Couldn't get up this morning and I ended up in the bed till dusk. Just back to finish up the proposal to Sun Microsystems. Hopefully, our team may win the project! Been busy travelling back and forth the Macau. The CEM client server application project sales deal has just been closed. Yeah! However, they're thinking about making the application web-based. Nelson and I would have further meeting with them on Monday tommorrow.

Saw the movie, "The Animal", with GG and her friend CR at the AMC Festival Walk II movie theatre. (link to Yahoo Movies) & (link to Rotten Tomato)
CR and GG are classmates. CR, GG, and I went window shopping at the LOG-ON for a while after the movie. GG is living in Tsuen Wan. I MTRed her back to Tsuen Wan, then I MTRed myself back to Sheung Wan, and now ending up in the office.
I am going to the church with Stanley and Tin Yee tomorrow. I don't know how Tin Yee feel about Stanley now but I am sure Stanley (my cousin) is definitely interested in pursuing Tin Yee. Stanley was just back from the trip to PR China visiting our uncle... well... well... sign... (something I'd rather not say here...)

It was quite an exciting evening yesterday night. I met "greengage (GG)" <code name for a friend whom I mentioned before but preferred to be called this way on blogger>. GG read the whole ericarol.com! GG asked me if I am going to write anything about her. And I said yes. She was quite concerned about this... and ... well... you know the feeling... embarrassed... both of us felt quite embarrassed.
GG was cute. That's about it I could say about her. We talked a lot. The conversation kept going and going. Mostly stupid conversation though. It was long before I could talk stupid in front of anyone for so long. Probably not after carol till I met GG.
Tonight, I went to grandmother's place to dine again (yesterday, too). Cousin's family went travelling to PR China. The Philippine maid, May, and grandmother cooked me the dinner.
Tomorrow, going to meet Virtuallight.net's CEO and his Technical Director to sign NDA and see their demo. They are brothers.

I was in Macau today. I was seriously embarrassed in front of all the vendors that�s participating the bid. LH of AA, the boss of MP was on the panel. I was going with FL�s partners as one of the bid. I called Ahim of Sun this morning asking for advices already. He was telling me to stay on the Sun�s side in order to keep my share of the action if just either BM or FL win. But I thought FL�s CEO didn�t know that in advance so when LH of AA asked in front of all the vendors which side I was representing� . . . . seriously� I was numbed for seconds� then I said that I was representing Sun� (what??? Sun wasn�t invited to this meeting though� damn� ) It was bad� it was really bad� damn�
Okay� be cool eric� be cool� and Monday we'd have bigger fish to fry since I am leaving for Macau again to accept the tender offer from CEM and it�s going to be great! Yes, everything�s going to be working out just fine!

Okay� okay�

Had conversation with Winnie again� I told her about this website and she had actually read the whole site, I meant everything on this page and the archives as well!!! Bad news� since I was hoping she might become my future friend in the real life! I had conversation discussing this feeling I had. And she said she found me a �bad person� after reading what I wrote. I was trying really hard to defend myself. I was trying to argue that what I am writing on this site doesn�t represent the real me. But does this argument valid anyway?! :-p

<Cyber Emotion>
Or I was saying that just to save faces or trying to not lose her... or maybe I was somehow emotionally involved that I was too afraid to disclosed everything I knew about myself in front of her?! Damn.. getting tricky and I hate that... and the truth is that I shouldn't be so emotionally involved since I haven't even meet this girl before!!!
</Cyber Emotion>

Bad move� bad move� don�t tell anyone anything about this website again�

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.

Saw the movie "Jurassic Park 3". (link to Yahoo Movies) & (link to Rotten Tomato)

Saw the movie "Rush Hour 2". (link to Yahoo Movies) & (link to Rotten Tomato)

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...
