 My cute little guinea pig.
From erm… I think the name’s Eric’s Pet Clinic. I saw (him/her?) it for the first time last October, from the glass window of Eric’s Pet Clinic at Happy Valley. I visited it everyday because something drew me to it. Perhaps it’s the black patch on its other eye, or perhaps it’s the diseased skin. It looked so cute, so pitiful but loveable. I really wanted it, not another guinea pig but only IT. It had that ability to make me want to take care of it and like… play with it… hee hee! Ahhh… in my dreams. Anyway, I visited HK again, two months later and it was still there! Its counterpart Black Guinea Pig was gone but Diseased Skin was still there! I love you, Diseased Skin!
Isn’t it funny how people can sometimes grow attached to something/someone foreign and unobtainable (but familiar), yet be nonchalant towards the near and accessible? Ok, the link is quite a distance away so leap with me.
The actress Xu Wei Lun passed away some weeks ago from a freak car accident and her death came as a big shock to many, moved them to tears. A cute young classmate of mine wrote in her blog that she was ultra sad – tears, anger, bewilderment, the entire package. I know how it is, I cried like shit when Leslie Cheung committed suicide.
I met her for class the following weekend. There’s a new security guard, she told me. He is weird. He freaked her out on her way up.
Yes, I noticed there was a new security guard. The uncle that used to say hello and good bye and on one occasion complained at length about something I couldn’t catch wasn’t there today.
She said the new security guard had entered the lift with her and suddenly gave a big moan. He then went on to tell her that the uncle had passed away. So scary, she said.
The uncle passed away?
At this point, the cleaning auntie came in and said, “He had a heart attack. It was just two days ago.” It didn’t seem like a very pleasant journey.
…..
That Xu Wei Lun was young and beautiful and unfortunate is a tragedy and her accident did remind me that life is vulnerable and should be lived not spent. But I will never see the uncle again on Saturdays. I will never hear more of his intelligible grouches. He won’t be there to ‘bye’ me away with his dismissal wave. And I didn’t even say goodbye... And for me, well, this hits harder.

I woke up earlier than usual this morning, thinking, about my birthday last week. I just had my 20th (yes, WH, I’m one year younger than you, now you know!) and it was good to spend the day with family and close friends. Even better that it was CNY so in a way, I celebrated it with everyone I love (other than the few abroad) on the days that preceded the actual.
I haven’t always enjoyed the whole birthday song-cake thing but this year, I liked it. Wei and WH were there to share the limelight with me and we took many good photos like the one above. Thanks Naoki! Your artistic direction is fantastic!
Anyway, I woke up earlier than usual this morning, thinking about the three saddest moments in my life and they are as below:
1) When my granddad passed away and I saw how sad my parents were.
2) When I couldn’t cope with Belle and had to send her back.
3) When I left Japan in 2002, it’s inevitable but I was still sad.
And I think, hey, I’m ok! My life is actually blissfully cushioned with extended periods of happiness. I tried to think of my three happiest moments but it wasn’t easy. There were too many in the running! I may be melancholic but it seems I’ve never left the humour too far behind, which, I think, is a good thing.
Haven’t been having much of an appetite lately though… which is a bit sianz. I think I took an hour to finish my yong tau fu last night and I didn’t even finish it. Pui!
About 2 weeks ago the girls and I went to Da Paolo’s – HW and Wei’s treat (to quote JY, ‘HW, we love your bonus!’) – and IT HAS BEEN SO LONG SINCE ALL SEVEN OF US GOT TOGETHER. I wasn’t deliriously happy or anything but I was happy, yep I was and I wonder when will be the next time we get to do something like that again. I can’t post the wonderful seven-of-us pic because there’s something wrong with the picture file. Wei, you’ve to send it to me again!
Ok, actually, I set out to blog about something to do with the happiest and saddest moments of my life… and it was supposed to lead on to something fun and intellectual but I completely digressed and lost my train of thought… so never mind. I shall just post this. Till next time! Haha!

ENGLISH OF TOMORROW EU ANNOUNCEMENT The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility. As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English". In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy.The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter. In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away. By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v". During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru. Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

I was paying for my shopping when the sales girl asked, “How did you do your lips? It’s very nice!”
Pleased but baffled, I took out my lip gloss.
“I use this. My friend got it for me. It’s from Victoria’s Secret.” Certainly this lip gloss was nice with a sweet smell and taste but it had never been stunning, in fact, it was almost sheer. My wrong, from now on, ‘it’s very nice’! Heh heh heh!
I wanted to see how ‘very nice’ they were and make sure I do them the ‘very nice’ way again so once I got out of the shop, I ducked into a washroom.
Okkkkkkkkaaaaaayyy…
Thanks to the orange and carrot juice I had from The Fruity Juice Co., my lips were tinged a mild vermillion.
Okkkkkkkkaaaaaayyy…
But I have to say, the colour was quite nice! I am such a leader in the world of cosmetics. I hereby declare that the era of natural cosmetics has arrived.
