2. 極破財, 但遇到好多貴人, 做事更積極。
3. 有新的家庭成員。
4. 加薪幅度仍然理想 - 保持雙位數字。
5. 已經30歲, 仍有很多人以為我只得25, 26。算是賺到了。
6. 終於去到了期待已久的金澤及北陸一帶。
7. 我仲未玩夠啊!
8. 飲酒多了, 書看得少了。

Party Hard

Oh can you party with me?

I was having a whale of a time until your uncle Psychosis arrived.
Why do we have to half kill ourselves just to prove we're alive?
I'm here whenever you need me and whenever you need me I won't be here.
And have you ever stopped to ask yourself?
If you didn't come to party, then why did you come here?

That room...

Chi sin! 
Holy, I was lead to the VIP room when I went to pick up my little stuff from a jewellery shop today.  Got surrounded by jewels that each of the piece worths millions, while my purchase is almost nothing as compared to those expensive pieces . Guess I will never be able to visit that room again in my life!

Sorry, no phototaking in the shop so I have to borrow one from the mighty web!

Bouquet toss

This is the bouquet I got from the bouquet toss in Edward's wedding~ Lucky me!
All the best to the lovely couple!

朋友

人越大, 朋友越少。

我朋友緣薄, 許多我以為生死之交, 可以當一世老友的人, 都因為各種原因而疏遠了。 有的出於炫耀, 有的因為嫉妒, 有的敵不過意氣之爭, 有的源自女孩子之間的比較, 有的步伐不一致, 也有是小器加誤會。

今次是傳銷。

人說人生最好最純潔的友誼都是中學或以前交的朋友, 上大學出來做事後就不要奢望可找到真摯的友情, 信焉。以上幾個例子, 都是大學及工作上的舊友, 曾是戰友, 手帕交, 金蘭姊妹, 孖公仔, 面對人性各種面貌、社會現實, 還是不堪一擊。

Saltimbanco

一件很小的事也可以令我很感動。

我說想看Saltimbanco, 食肉獸原來早知道這是什麼, 二話不說就答應和我去看了。
知道Saltimbanco的人實在不多, 很高興和食肉獸的品味有時是如此的一致。

盛女

〈利益申報: 已有另一半〉

1. 盛女有咩得罪你呢?
2. 嫁咗又唔一定幸福囉, 婚姻其實都係一場賭博, 你唔見好多人婚姻唔開心咩, 仲要係好x唔開心果隻呀!
3. 每個人, 都要自負盈虧。
4. 以前就話0的女人搵唔到食先要嫁人唶, 而家女人分分鐘仲搵得多過男人, 唔鍾意咪唔好嫁。
5. 女人都有權選擇唔結婚吧!
6. 呢個世界, 你越係畀人知你飢餓, 就越係搵唔到食。
7. 香港女人有個問題, 就係講0野太多表情, 太hyper, 令人煩厭。
8. 人係膚淺0既, 你外表唔吸引, 人地唔會有興趣了解你內涵。
9. 事實上睇外表都係絕大部份生物用來選擇對象0既條件, 因為會直接影響後代同自己0既生活環境同健康。只不過我地人類會用'愛情'兩個字去包裝同解釋。
10. 同意有0的女人其實真係好chur。

唔知點解我覺得呢張相好襯...

11. 有部份原因係本地女子太愛面子。
12. 話說回頭, 有0的男人, 你真係寧願單身兼自摸一世都唔x會要囉。
13. 工作上遇過某0的係土生土長0既男人, 眼光仲窄過睇忽週0既師奶。
14. 外表係中環, 開口就旺角 -> 嘩我認我係呀, 仲要係油麻地果欄添呀~
15. 認真, 我覺得好多大陸男人都幾唔錯。
16. 好心, 0的女子咪再用自己外國回流, 學歷高, 某校出身來當做selling point。根本男人唔會care。
17. 又, 為嫁人為自立都好, 建議各位女子認真地學煮幾味。整甜品唔計 - 男人都係想結咗婚之後有啖正常住家飯食唶。識煮飯係加好多分0架。
18. 喂我有economist又有蘋果日報(唔係動新聞)個app喎, 咁即係點呀?
19. 係呀個個都想有完美0既另一半, 不過面對現實, 你係幾多分0既人都就會配番幾多分0既伴侶。
20. 每個人, 不論係咪要搵伴侶, 都要時刻upgrade自己。

Jay-Z & Kanye West - 'Ni**as In Paris'

幾句

1. 黑色星期五，是日不宜返工。
2. 薄熙來事件真係好精彩, 我睇到神心過追劇。
3. 面對近期的惡評與質疑, 最好用都係呢句: '如果你覺得咁樣會令你舒服0的, 咁你咪就當係囉。'
4. 已退學! 免得我老闆以為我咁都照去, 個腦有問題!
5. 批評人地係唔會令你進步。
6. De Beers!
7. 地球是很危險的, 你還是快點回去火星吧。
8. 晌個袋摷到75鎊, 雖然都係自己錢但感覺好似賺咗。
9. 本來對楊奷嬅同余文樂冇乜好感, 但睇完'志明與春嬌'同'春嬌與志明', 又幾ok喎。
10. 晌書店撞到某前度仆街上司, 我冇上前去恭喜佢完全冇行升partner, 經已極度有品。
11. 我要買sou‧sou 0既和風衣服!
12. 近期多0野做到連routine tasks都做唔切!
13. Well, 男人最緊要都係要有性格有本事, 搵到錢。其他0野, 好x濕碎啦。
14. 搽得太多ferrari red指甲油, 要戒一排, 搽下其他色先...
15. 最怕你冇料扮四條咋。

Back to school

之前向公司申請education assistance, 去讀一個(我認為)有0的貴0既course.  有老闆幫助之下, 經過一輪拗數, 公司批咗100%資助, 條件係兩年之內辭職就要賠錢。條件唔係好辣, 都算reasonable, 反正我短期內冇plan要轉工。
不過今年講明會係勁忙, 呢輪做嘢開始鑊, 加上個course又有變數, 主辦機構問我想唔想退學, 我真係有0的想縮沙!
點算?!

致某朋友:

其實呢, 你一日唔係徐子淇, 一日都會有人環境好過你, 一日都會有人個老公撈得好過你果個。你明白嗎? 冇錯, 大家相識時環境都差不多, 之後生活各有進步, 雖然步伐唔同, 但我覺得你而家一啲都唔差。點解要在意大家各自擁有0既嘢呢?
如果呢啲嘢令我地之間有介蒂的話, 我覺得好可惜。It's always easier to lose a friend than to make one.

$$$

In this year I'm going to spend big, but not on my clothes & food... My pocket is draining dry!
Think I'll be too broke to save money, so no more fine dining / afternoon tea this year. Haiz.
