Routine
is there a set routine that you follow when you get home every day? mine is:
1) open door, switch on lights
1) hold the door while i take off my shoes
2) kick my shoes aside
3) reach for my remote control + switch on TV
4) walk over to computer desk and prop myself down. log on.
i've been doing this for so long that it's become 100% automatic. like instinct. i tried jazzing it up the other day (like sitting down on the couch instead of making a bee-line for my computer) but felt immensely unsettled and had to rework my routine. how sad
so what's your routine, if you have one?

i went hiking with CJ last week
and got to experience a side of HK i didn't know existed
for 4 whole hours we saw no buildings. just moutains, rocks and lots of grass
i really felt like i was in the set of a Lord of the Rings movie at some point:
that was McLahose trails 7&8. left me limping for the rest of the week but it was definitely worth it

Summertime
Two different interpretations of the theme "summertime". Which one is closer to yours?
Summertime, an' the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' an' the cotton is high
Oh, Yo daddy's rich an' yo' ma is good lookin'
So hush, little baby, don't you cry
One of these mornin's, you goin' to rise up singin'
Then you'll spread yo' wings an' you'll take the sky
But till that mornin', there's a nothin' can harm you
With daddy & mammy standin' by

watched Something's Gotta Give with Denise and Audrey last night - D got free tix from the client - there are perks to being in banking afterall. 
hmmm strange but i could really identify with lots of the things said in the movie - example: Diane Keaton's character was talking about the trick to getting used to sleeping alone:
"the trick is to sleep right in the middle - you have to stop sleeping on one side of the bed"
i've only recently shifted back to the middle after 2 years of curling up on the right side. total force of habit since my ex and I never even shared my bed to start off with... but one side of my bed is so much softer than the other now 
*sigh* time to make corrections
Be my valentine
how was everyone's valentine's day. good, i trust?
i spent it in Tokyo with my girls - I got a box of chocolates from Rach and a silver Britney card from Mika
we roamed around tokyo causing trouble. evidence can be found here
V-day, estrogen-loaded, we went to watch 
in Shibuya (my second time!). i found my eyes watering on several occasions. the Emma Thompson story was just too real and too sad
but we all came out with that warm fuzzy feeling in our stomachs, a little more hopeful than when we went in 
(mental note - chick flicks do wonders to soothe an unsettled heart)
oh right, the beers did too
my weekend rocked. thanks girls i‚¨‚Ü‚¦‚½‚¿AƒJƒbƒR‚¢‚¢‰ß‚¬j
For S, E and D:
girls, sorry to hear that you're going thru a rough patch. here are some random thoughts:
the only thing to do when you're trying to get over a break up
- go drink up [hiccup]
- ~ shake your bootie and dance your heart away ~
- surround yourself with friends who make you laugh
me: *sniff* 
friends: stel get over it already 
(____o____)
- keep yourself busy. berry berry busy
or you can take mylai's advice:
this is your ex - 
the person responsible for all the anguish, suicidal tendencies and that wretched feeling in your tummy.
with the help of the lovely miss karina, i've composed a list of distractions that will succor you during this horrible period.
¢X go out to your favorite meat market of a dance club, chug down three kamikazes and shamelessly pick up on the dj, bartender, random schmuck in wrangler jeans. "hay babeee.. *hiccup!*"
¢X watch spielberg's schindler's list. you'll realize what a minutiae your relationship with was.
¢X take up a recreational drug, like heroine.
¢X read a book.
¢X be a computer geek. learn unix. learn html. learn cgi. php. develop rsi carpal tunnel. my original reasons behind learning html was to create a webpage on "why my is a jerk."
¢X see a psychiatrist. persuade him into putting you on an antidepressent such as paxil, luvox, celexa or prozac. trade medications with your friends!
¢X join a threatre group, redirect your energy into something productive. you'll make new friends as well. theatre geeks rule.
¢X liberate yourself and learn to appreciate one night stands for what they are.
¢X hang out in irc. ha! and you thought you were the only person not getting any! (efnet, #sf-raves)
¢X cow tipping on yagermeister.
¢X buy an slr camera and take a beginner's photography class. artistic outlets are nifty and manually processing your photographs are a lot of fun. added + is that the chemicals in the darkroom will get you all yay'ed up!
¢X attempt anorexia. your binding club clothes will fit better.
¢X try the brazilian wax.
¢X throw an intimate dinner party with five of your closest friends. (domestic skills required)
¢X keep a journal. an online journal even.
¢X burn your arm with a lighter. slice your leg up with an exacto knife. it's strange how you aren't affected by physical pain during this tormenting time.
¢X practice your kegal exercises, just in case.
¢X chain smoke.
¢X write a schizophrenic letter to . vent. describe how miserable has made you feel. continue digressing. move onto how much you miss . reminisce about that time you and went to that one place. then threaten suicide if you don't see again. end letter with a nasty bitter comment like,
"you're nothing but a druggie loser and i hope you overdose one day and die you asshole."
DO NOT MAIL LETTER.
____________________________________
kidding aside sweetie,
the one thing you need to keep is your dignity. restrain yourself from calling at 3am, deliriously.emotionally.unstable and ramble on about how hurt you are. yah i know, i've been there. it sucks..
but being branded the psycho ex sucks too.

Motteru ne
Is there a protocol as to when you can open your lai-sees and start using the $$?
at any rate i saved 'em all up and only opened the packets today
not bad for someone who didn't even spend CNY in HK.

Ode to my parents
last night my mom called to check if i have enough clothes at the apartment - temperate dropped 10C in one day and it's col-d.
me: No ma, i'm freezing my butt off. i don't have a heater in the apartment and my duvet is way too thin!
mom: well go buy one at fortress then. otherwise you'll catch a cold
me (irritated): you dont think i know that?! i have to work! i don't have time!!! by the time i get off the stores will be closed!
mom: hmm [pause] let me talk to your dad
me: huh, it's ok. i'll figure something out myself
* * * * * *
this morning, i got woken up by my phone at 815am
it was my dad, who drove 45 minutes to hand-deliver me a heater, warm blankets, and a bunch of warm sweaters
* * * * * *
i felt like such a brat
but also the luckiest daughter in the world. my parents ROCK.
