Somehow, all my plans to travel this month were thwart one way or another. My plans to travel to:-
- Japan in Sept was cancelled due to leave freeze and my travel partner wasn't able to apply for leave.
- Korea instead in early Sept was dropped because I really don't feel comfortable travelling with my cousin when I still have to face his parents every year plus I'd love to explore Korea with my travel partner instead.
- Japan alone to find a friend was cancelled too because my dear friend wasn't in town during that period.
- Australia with Clifton and celebrate his birthday in Australia (something different for a change) was also not fulfilled because my booking via Qantas wasn't complete. Maybe I didn't click till the end after keying in my credit card information. All attempts to get an air ticket to Australia now was futile because SIA tickets cost $7k (no idea why it was showned as $900+ on the website when I selected my flight schedule), Qantas kept showing "the flight you'd chosen is not available".
So, I'm taking it as a sign that I really ought to stay on land this month. Kind of reminded me of the show "Final Destination" because the main lead just kept 'siaming' his death.
Once or twice if my plans were changed, I can try again but if it just keep happening, like something is preventing me from travelling, I better be a good girl and stay here. Most to most, I will just meet up my friends for dinner, play my games (pity Dance Central 2 will only be released in Oct) and slack at home for almost 2 weeks.
On a side note, I'd went for my interview with the Dean of School of Business and it all went well. I'm looking forward to school next year - Jan 2012. Maybe I could use this time to think of what I want to do - career wise.
I understand that life is going to be tough ahead especially when I'm doing part time studies and full time work but I just need to bear with it and get my degree. Hopefully my plan this time will go the way I want it to be.
頑張って アンナさん!!!!! (^.^)V

Why so unhelpful?
Why wouldn't you answer my calls?
Why do you reply my questions with spikes?
Why do you not offer help?
Why can't you be patient with me?
Do you think I can or even will remember all the things you've been doing everyday?
I'm still learning and am trying my best to learn and remember, how can I improve if you're not giving me a chance? At least act that you're patient with me and answer my questions then. I don't care if you want to say anything behind my back after.
Do you think I know where did you keep all the things when I don't use them everyday?
Do you think I know what was done earlier when you're the one doing it?
If you feel or think that you're too busy, having too many things to do, ASK. I'd offered my help but you're the one who pushes me away. And you still can tell everyone that you're doing everything.
Maybe now, you're adding that I'm not helping, I'm not doing anything, I'm useless and you feeling like slapping me for asking stupid or obvious questions. For repeating my questions, for not checking my emails before asking, for forgetting.
Sometimes the reasons why I want to give up is because of you! Ganging up with another when I'd just started on my role.
Maybe what you're best at is complaining how busy you're, how no one is helping and you're doing everything yourself.
Times when I called you, I know for sure that you WILL NOT pick it up. When I message you, you WILL NOT reply. So when I'm doing one of the above, I knew that there's going to be 100% ZERO response from you.
Instead of feeling dread when I'm with someone whom most people dislike, I'm feeling that when I'm with you! I'd rather be with that someone for no matter what, that person will still act nice and help me. Or even fought back for me.
Suck ass!

Trust 6th sense always!!
Yesterday, I'd left my poor blackberry 9700 behind in the toilet.. It was my first time losing my phone and I was quite sad initially for all of my datas were in it..
My instinct from the start nagged at me to keep my phone in my bag and not to bring it along for the activities I was to take part in.. I ignore it and brought it along anyway. When the whole game was over and I wanted to visit the toilet to wash the sand off my feet, again my instinct asked me to leave it with someone else.. I brushed it off... Went into the toilet and placed my phone on the slit behind while I do my business.. Left the cubicle and forgot about the phone totally until we were walking 1/3 to our bbq pit and James' phone began to ring.. I knew that my chance of finding the phone is very slim as I was running back to the toilet.. True enough. it wasn't there anymore. James tried calling my line and it rang for a few times - that gave me some hope. Afterwards, the calls dropped - the phone was switched off. Oh well.. Who will be that kind to return a lost phone eh? The person either can't wait to sell it off or to use it.
So... I need a new phone and bought one which I'd intended to get it next month.
New bold is FANTASTIC! However it's too slim and light for my taste.. I can't feel it in my pocket and have to check constantly to make sure it's still there. And now I'm having difficulty figuring out how to use the new desktop suite to get my Japanese language pack work in my new bold.

Jacky Cheung 1/2 Century 2011
Attended Jacky Cheung's concert at the Indoor Stadium with my sisters today. :)
If my memory did not fail me, the last concert we'd attended was in 2007.
I'll keep returning to his concert until the day he cannot perform. What I like about his concert is that unlike others, he do not do fanciful stage acts such as weird clothes, plenty of dancers and all. What he offered was his voice, some dance moves, story theme, he interacts with the audience - chatting, making jokes, being very humble, nice and friendly. Not guest stars, just him. That's what I'd always enjoyed at his concerts.
Tonight was no different.
It started off with a movie-like clip - with help from a director and Shu Qi as his main lead. The purpose of doing that, as explained by him after the whole story was to tell people a story about love. How fragile it can be and all. Nicely done up with a lot of dance moves from Jacky and his dancers while he belt out songs relating to the different stages of love - from a free man to courting, marriage, the down period and getting back together. How I wish it was a movie then.
Next, he began to interact with his fans and concert goers. What I'd noticed about him was he'd always, without fail say "Thank you" after every songs / theme. He began to sing one or two new singles while introducing his new direction - bossa nova followed by some older goldies with the bossa nova feel to it.
Also, introducing his backup singers and his band which reminded me of Michael Jackson's last show where he let his performers shine - the female guitarist. Singing his new and old songs in Mandarin and Cantonese. An animated clip about his childhood - how he got that scar on his left cheek.
Improvements for this round was the addition of lyrics on the screen and that allowed us to singalong with him! I really love attending his concert for the personal touch which made my money all the worth. He sang almost twenty songs? 5 nights of show, it's understandable that he's tired too but he made it looked easy. He danced a lot. There I was wondering how did he manage to maintain that level of energy for 5 nights of an estimated 3.5hrs of performance. His encore wasn't just one or two songs, not just sitting down and sing but with some dance moves and more songs. One can't tell he's 50 unless you check out his age!
I don't blame him for leaving just after his last song for the heavenly king needs his rest. Just felt pity that the concert has to end so soon. Like da jie said, time flies when we were enjoying ourselves. This time, we get to see more up close shots of him, knowing that he do not lip sync because there were some notes that he did not manage to hit while singing the last few songs.
Tonight, I get to sleep with the sweetest dreams, with memories of the humble and humorous still fresh in my mind. ;)

Nothing of interest
I'm not sticking to my resolution of posting regularly to keep it thick. Looks pretty dry now... Guess maybe life is still a routine, nothing fantastic nor interesting.. except for........ ok. Not posting it now till I get the pictures. Been really excited for Feb 2012. ;)
