Mini International

received another mail from MINI COOPER yesterday... there are two issue of mini international magazine!!

i haven't read those b4 and as i was flipping through, i realized it's not only an advertising material from mini cooper, it's a magazine which talks about traveling, introducing different culture in other countries/cities, such as: art and design, living style, music and most of all... A LOT OF NICE PHOTOGRAPHY!

so the two issues i got are #29 San Francisco and #30 The Ruhr Metropolis in Germany... very interesting and btw, they also included a CD which let the reader to enjoy the music from that city! very nice...

i m thinking should i order back a copy of #20, cos that issue is HONG KONG!!!

波兒波兒波兒波兒波兒波...

宮崎駿崖の上のポニョthis song stuck in my head... "波兒波兒波兒波兒波兒波..."

i m a huge fan of 宮崎駿, me and my brother grow up with his animations... as i remember, we watched: <天空之城> , <龍貓> , <歲月的童話> , <魔女宅急便> , <再見螢火蟲> , <千與千尋> , <哈爾移動城堡>

寒冷週五+摯友飯局

after work, a good fd treated me and hun for a dinner... haha...











it was a wonderful meal and we had great chat...

there's just too many things are more important than an expried relationship... if that person is belongs to you, u dont have to put special effort to make him/her to stay... if that person is not the one, no matter how hard you force him/her to stay, s/he would also slip away....

we will help u through this hard time and i m sure "you can do better than that"!!!

let's start a brand new year with a positive mind!!!

09年小計

2009 is here... i wanna create a "to do list".... not necessary to be something huge... but i got to set some goals for myself to achieve...

these are the things come up in my mind at this moment...

1) improve my Mah jong attitude (牌品): after few years of practice, i still found myself having bad 牌品... how can i control myself from complaining, yelling at ppl and black face when i m losing?! i really need to figure that out...

2) apply for a part-time course: i wanna learn something, maybe photography or interior design or painting/drawing (hehe... i tried to study interior design few years ago, but i failed to complete the part time course... plus i wasted $1000 something....) i hope i can apply for some part time course during summer 2009

3) get some good quality clothings: dont waste money on "hi-bye" clothes (which means... doesnt last long... wear 1 or 2 times and dont even remember i bought it and one day found it at the bottom of my drawer)

4) let my hair grow longer: cos i wanna try to get them perm

5) try to call my grandma every nite: ummmm.... she said it's better than giving her a big present

6) organize my receipts and bills: keep track of my expenses... be organize...

7) wash my mini cooper: every 2 months (gas station carwash during winter time, hand wash it during summer)

8) keep excising: going to yoga class every weekend and play badminton with hun and fds!

9) learn how to cook: i need to get a little note book for the recipes from hun's mom... hehe

10) plan for a trip: hopefully i can do that with hun and fds...



that's all for now... i may add more later on.... hehe
