Housewarming party

Esther finally gave me a gift. She wrote the Chinese Calligraphy of "風" and "靜" on the paddle fan.
She chose these two words to me. She also suggested to write "門" on one side, and any words on the other side, such as "才", "心"... but.... seems not very nice...

I went to my friend's housewarming party this evening. These two friends got married on 1 July this year. They rent a 3nd floor with a balcony of a 3-story house. My friends and I bought a Wii to them for their wedding gift. The left picture shows they were playing HARD with the Boxing game in Wii Sport.
We have played three games tonight, Wii Sport, Rabbit and Mario Party 8. We also played with one more thing which made us SO EXCITED. That's mii!!!!!!!!!!!! I have copied two miis and saved in my remote and brought to my friend's home(So that, we can have a bigger community. Also, 4 remotes allows 4 players at the same time). The picture on the right actually are the miis that we've got and created today!!!! The one with the BIGGEST head is me. She's actually has a normal size of head. HOWEVER, it's different now because I was selecting her.

我,作孽了~~

我,作孽了~~
After I bought the Wii to home, I highly recommended it to my friends. Finally, I bought one to my friend for wedding gift. My colleague also bought a Wii today in Wan Chai too..... GOD!!! What have I DONE!!!!

Doorbell

There was a doorbell setting up in our office YESTERDAY~!!! "Classroom" has been written on the metal plate on the door., but, actually, it's the staff room. It WAS a classroom once, but it became a staff room 2 years ago.

A password lock has been used normally. BUT, if the students look for their tutor in our office, they MUST knock the door. HOWEVER, sometimes, it's hard to notice the knocking because the knocking is SO SOFT!!! AND, we found that there was a DOORBELL yesterday!!!!!!

HOWEVER, it's A BAD NEWS to our staff, especially to who sit next the door. They need to come and open the door frequently........ sigh, and I am the ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO TERRIBLE!!!!

Gwen Stefani's Concert

I was SO LAZY in the past few days, so I didn't update my blog.

There was an extremely HEAVY rain in the Thursday afternoon.
Unfortunately, I went to IKEA(Kowloon Bay) and Mongkok with my colleague. We were ALL WET
and
thanks to my colleague that he could take all the things we bought to his home first.

My bf invited me to go to Gwen Stefani's concert in AsiaWorld-Arena on the same day. He drove the car and picked me up in Mongkok. There was a traffic jam because of the rain. Therefore, we arrived at AsiaWorld-Arena quite late. We rushed to have our dinner. We saw Ryan Hui(許懷欣), Miriam Yeung(楊千嬅), Fiona Sit(薛凱琪), and some celebrities(Because I saw there was a camera and some stylish people at the entrance in front of the concert hall, but I didn't see their faces).

The performance of Gwen Stefani was SO GREAT even I was not familiar to her songs. Luckily, my bf sometimes use her songs in class. Therefore, I have a general idea who she is.
My bf bought the tickets in the free standing
area. The people around us ENJOYED so MUCH and shook their bodies with the melody(so did I, of course). Many people in hall were also standing after the show began for around 30 minutes even they were in the sitting area.

It was quite FULL in this ONLY ONE performance of Gwen Stefani. There are
13,500 seats in the hall of AsiaWorld-Arena, and only two blocks was empty(not for sale). Therefore, you could imagine how many people were there.

I met an old colleague on the street in Mongkok today. I haven't seen him for at least 3 years(I think). He was a research assistant and worked for my favorite professor. Their work won an award too.

Ching Ching, Happy Birthday!!!!

Haagen-Dazs Coupon

Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
I should have two FREE Haagen-Dazs ice-cream desserts since I am a Haagen-Dazs STAR CLUB member.

I am SO looking forward to it. HOWEVER, this coupon can ONLY be used on weekdays from 12 noon to 7 pm. It's SO IMPOSSIBLE to go there for a full-time worker.
ALSO, this coupon can be used in 4 Haagen-Dazs shops ONLY, including Star House, Time Square, Cityplaza, HK Pacific Centre.... sigh.... if I can use it in Shatin New Town Plaza, it will be GREAT!!!!

At last, this coupon comes to its expired day, 15 August. I read the calender yesterday. I found I wouldn't have any time before this Wednesday, except TODAY!!!!! Then I called my friend whether she would be available to go with me or not. HOWEVER, she needed to watch movie tonight.... then she suggested to give this coupon to someone else and we came to a conclusion.

I gave this coupon to my GREAT parents!!!!!! I won't go back for dinner tomorrow night anyway. They won't need to prepare the dinner for me. Therefore, they can go tomorrow. THANKS GOD that I didn't waste this coupon!!!!

RTHK program

I have just finished a RTHK program called "First Movie"(自作影畫) at 7:30pm tonight. I simply knew this program must be about the first movie made by the students who study in media. The interviewees are so young. They frequently mentioned the name of the University where they are studying at. This made me continue to watch this program because I was one of these students too. (My work has been shown in TVB once and I have been interviewed in RTHK program too. But it was LONG LONG TIME ago....)

The BIG surprise is about the host of this program. He was in my major but a year or two years(but seems one year only) below me. I remembered him because I have seen his work. He was already outstanding when I was still studying my Undergraduate. I even didn't know his name since I haven't taken the same class with him. Until he was in year three, I finally heard of his name from other people.

I didn't recongise his face when I've just watched this program. When his name appeared on the screen, I finally realised that was him. He looked SO DIFFERENT from my memory. I only remembered that he studied oversea for awhile and a short clip of his work. It was IMPRESSIVE, so I still recall it after 4 to 5 years.

It was so AMAZING. He's now the host of this program.

My second ride in Tai Tam(大潭)

I went to ride this morning again. This is the 2nd time that I went wakeboarding. Last time(two months), I couldn't say that I could stand on the wakeboard. I could only bend my knees and squatted on the board. When I tried to stand up, I fell down and hit the water. Last time, I lost my contact lens of my left eyes.

Today, I tried it again. I went to Tai Tam where I have never been. We arrived at around 11 this morning. Rain stopped(It was a HEAVY rain at around 9am in Shatin). I was the second one who rode. In the first try, I still didn't know how to stand up on the board. Then the wakeboarding coach(He is so talented. I have seen his ride once. I was OPEN-MOUTHED when I saw his GREAT performance!!!!) told me to open my chest and stand up with the muscle of thighs.

I finally stood up in my second try which made me SO EXCITED. I think I have successfully stand up on the board and ride for awhile three times today. However, I gave up finally, because I was so exhausted and panted.

I should ride at the middle of two wakes. I thought I could do it in my final try. I tried VERY HARD to control my legs, my body weight and my arms to balance my body. It was easy to be pulled by the boat and made me to hold the handle tight.

We haven't had our lunch since we ate breakfast this morning. After taking the shower, we went to "Sai Sha Cafe"(西沙茶座) in Sai Sha. The food there was good. We could see "Three Fathoms Cove"(企嶺下海 , actually, I didn't know the name of the sea.... so I have just checked in CentaMap, hehe ^_^) from the glass windows. There was a HEAVY rain again at around 3-4pm.... But, luckily, I have already got out of the water.

I am currently a monthly rider, haha! So, I don't know when I will ride again.
