Monday dinner at Mandy’s
My colleague’s mum came by from HongKong and cooked us a feast!! She brought the sauces from home even! Man.. braised mushrooms with some seafood thingy, papaya, white fungus and corn soup, sautéed chicken with onions, all richly flavored with a mother’s love, bliss… And after all that, I still finished a tub of rum and raisin ice-cream, turning into miss piggy soon!!! but i miss mummy's cooking & my fish porridge!!!
Tuesday floods in Beijing
ok I know this is not funny nor should it be in the least bit exciting… but to witness first-hand the effects of flood for the first time, it’s a novelty to this sheltered city girl. was stuck in traffic coz the normal route back to the apartment was flooded, and over the news, you hear of waters being 1.5m high, waterfalls from highways, people fishing for their bicycles in the waters… it was kinda exciting, so today I have it~ my first flood in 25 years (well soon to be, almost, heh).
Wednesday Woes in Middle East
I can never understand the analysis of the economic impact of wars. It just sounds wrong and oxy-moron to ask money questions when lives are lost, families broken, so much grief and mourning!! CNN’s interview with Lebanon’s finance minister about its economy really got me railing man…
Thursday’s world a melting pot…
Just some bitching about the mini global village I’m living in right now… The Chinese aint too friendly, even at tourist sites and I wave hi to them, they ignore me!! Smiling never felt more silly.. The Swedish guy wants to get a bicycle so he can be independent, not much of a groupie I guess~ good luck in BJ’s traffic!! The guys from Bangalore are somewhat over-eager, over-excited and plastering a smile to their faces all the time :) :) And the half-Americans, every other sentence is punctuated “It’s amazing! Unbelievable! It’s sooo good!” over energetic and exaggerating don you think? The Japanese is one whole bundle of fun- so unlike the nerd i thought he was in office wahaha... And the stuck-up HongKie project manager... i wonder if she ever smiles at all man.. standoffish!!! And.. aiya... lose track alreay... too many people from too many lands...
Friday’s Fizzling out
Feeling kinda off today… Not too well in the tummy… too much MSG… or is it cramps… Haiz… Need to rest or no energy for Tianjin tomm…
One too many entries this week I know.. signing out now, tata!
