This Italy originated day is meant for lovers.  But when the name of the day is translated into Chinese, it has different meaning.

情人, the people you love.  They can be your family, your relatives, your friends and even your colleagues.  So on this day, you can celebrate it with whoever you want to.  But this year, I got a sour lemon ...

Weeks ago I asked a friend of mine (a female creature and I'm not a lesbian) to have dinner or whatever together but I was being rejected because she DOESN'T want to "fake herself for having a date".  Is the mind of people so narrow?  Does LOVE only apply to boyfriend-girlfriend?  They don't have love with their family, relatives and friends?  Sad to further think that she may associate all her friends as "wine, meat" friends.  Poor thing ...

So this Valentine's Day, I'll spend it with my family from whom I will always receive love from them.

Friends, Happy Valentine's Day, or Happy Day of Love ...

Don't have too many event experience but I can say this was one of the hardest.  I had to stand for long hours to prepare serve drinks ("shake" girl?) then the next day I have to control the barbarians.  They have never had any international event experience so they didn't know the rule of the game - they have to pay for everything and they have to line up.  They picked up every thing on the bench - flyers, booklets, and even ... drinks.  For Christ's sake they had to PAY.  So knowing that they pay for it.  Is it really easy to earn money in China that they are willing to pay $50 for 2 drinks and to attend a seminar that they have no idea about?

But this time I really learned what is "team spirit".  There were all together 20 staff to support an event for over 1,800 people.  We didn't care what was our post, what we did and what was our original job title - we only listen to the group leader.  We helped each other and simply in this event, we got close together even for those we did not know before.  H-Company really has a lovely team of staff.

As I said, I have a soar body after the intensive Body Combat class last night.  What makes the problem more serious is that my back gets itchy now.  I cannot twist my arm to stretch my back but it keeps getting more and more itchy ... anybody help me please ...

It's very normal that you'll eat a lot during the holiday season and then you'll get regret.  I'm the one.

I've been actively attending to gym right after the Chinese New Year as I did eat a lot, a lot and a lot.  So on Monday night, I went to gym after work and so was last night.  I attended the Body Combat class - some kind of Kick Boxing exercise.

I think it's much better than Step class.  While Step class is a training on the cordination between you brain and your legs, Body Combat is a whole body exercise - your legs to kick, your arms to punch and your brain to coordinate the 4 limbs ...

I feel energetic today but my arms are so soar ... but anyway, I'll definitely attend the class again even if the instructor is not Michelle D (but of course, Michelle D knows how to make the class fun ... very well ...)

Oh~!  I'll be in Macau this Saturday so I cannot go to her class ... woo ...

Thanks Vicky for always providing me with interesting reading - about movies, football and the technology.

Issue No. 25 of Dim-Sum magazine is finally out~!  I immediately browsed for my translated article.  Cool~!  Not much amended.  This piece of voluntary work gives me very high sense of achievement.  I'd love to continue it (as long as they still want my "contribution").

One of the article is about "Brokeback Mountain" - I movie that I like.  It's a sad story - about love that could not be spoken of and the 2 boys could not be together finally.  The first sex scene of the movie came naturally - all because of natural desire.  2 guys stayed in the wild for a long time, there was nothing except sheep.  When nature desire calls, the other human being presented would be the best partner (unless you prefer making love with a sheep ...).

Then, the movie shot in Wyoming (?) with beautiful scenery - mountain, river, blue sky, green grass ... handsome actors ... this is really a good movie.  Only one bad thing to me - Jake / Jack looks to much alike C that disappointed me a bit. 

Oh~!   Back to the subject ... the article's about my favorite movie recently.  How come they don't let me translate the article?  Hope another piece of nice article will come to me ... if they still want my poor work.

It was my first timne dinning with total strangers.  Last night I joined the annual dinner of a publication and met the people who I have been working with.

Many of them were nice and ... deep as I can tell from their conversation.  But that guy ... oh~!  He was more mean than a woman~!

First of all, he is a slut~!  I mean I know gay guys do go to sauna for fast food sex, but he made it too casual and sorry too camp.  He broke my fantasies about gay guys - professional, handsome, considersate, sensitive ... he just behaved like a bitch ... oooh ~!

He reminded me of a "small-air" man in Taiwan ... Now I finally know Mean guys are worse than chic ~!!!

在一家跨國公司工作，每天都有多種不同語言在耳邊穿來插去 - 真的，我在辦公室每天都可聽到廣東話、英語、普通話和日語，所以每天都可以聽到一大堆的口頭禪。

廣東話: 你明唔明我講乜呀?

英文: You know ... / I don't know ... / Well ... /

日文:  a-no ... (嗯 ...) / sou-desu-ne (係呀) / jya ... (咁...)

如果將所有的都混在一起 ...

a-no ... 你明唔明我講乜呀?  Well, I don't know, you know ... jya ...

我都唔知我自己講乜 ...

午飯後見街外風和日麗，正合本小姐出遊 - 其實是有很多事要處理。先到California Fitness辦理更改信用卡自動轉賬，再到Citibank交卡數，再去大有商場修理手機。多efficient ...

在回公司時，乘搭第一"轉"升降機時，但見四周一眾西洋俊男，盡飽眼福。不單如此，一眾西洋俊男更與我一同乘搭第二"轉"升降機。嘩~!卯死啦~!

Hey~!我答應了dimsum 的 Joe Lam 明晚的飯局，不知會否一樣盡飽眼福?

狗年第一個咀咒靈驗了~! 有聞今年我有病符入命宮所以會經常有病，昨日，就年多年無見的經痛都來向我拜年。心想，到底真的是病符入命宮，還是我在桃花下拍照有催桃花之嫌?

哈~!不知其他的什麼升職加薪又會否靈驗?
