There are some benefits to working at Fairchild.
For example, I get 15% off at St. Germaine Bakery (30% for mooncakes). If I don't fancy a St. Germaine mooncake, because you know, life (and mid-autumn festival) is too short to eat stunted traditional mooncakes and non-inspiring icey mooncakes, I also get 30% off for De Fresh mooncakes and Pine House mooncakes.
I also get 20% off (30% if I play my cards right) at Chic Label - my new favourite boutique.
I work next to a food court that serves 雞蛋仔
Anyways, you get the idea.
I was going to say, that one of my favourite benefits of working at Fairchild is that I get to do the Arts and Culture Segment. Occasionally I get horrific stories that my boss makes me cover (honestly, does anyone care that the 東莞同鄉會 is staging a talent show to showcase its children's choir, painted on rosy cheeks and all?), it's usually stuff that I love and am interested in seeing. Last month, I got to visit the UBC Anthropology museum and spent 2 hours looking at Buddhist art. And if I really like the stuff, I actually get to ask for free tickets.
So tonight's one of those nights where 鄭少 and I took advantage of this benefit and saw Heroes, an engaging play for "three older gents" (as they call themselves). More than a century's worth of acting expertise congregating on a stage, held together by an engaging and hilarious story is a great way of spending the evening. And although the story was about three WWI veterans in the 1950s stuck in a soldier's home, I can't help but resonate with some of the things that they were saying and identify with the feeling of being stuck.
No one likes to be stuck. But if Henri could, in the end, see the poplar trees, I'm sure I could some day too.
Now listening: Porcelain - at17 (Yes, my music selection is the same after all these years).

自我檢討
有時候, 我覺得我很需要一個敢閙我, 一個敢毫不客氣跟我説話的人. 我懶惰的時候會踢我, 我"克人爭"的時候又會跟我說, 做錯又會毫不偶爾指出我的錯誤. 但是, 我大部分時間都是一個滿恐怖的人, 又不容易接受批評, 反而會覺得夠膽對我誠實的人對我有敵意. 説到底, 我都是覺得自己是一個很小氣的人, 不喜歡給別人"話", 又惡又大聲, 搞到無人敢跟我說這些事. 真是要好好自己檢討一下...
Just a weird funny thought: recently, I realized that as much as I love and adore Vancouver, I feel like I belong in China.

The End of Two Weeks of Non-Productivity
With the 2010 Games finished, packed up, and (almost) gone, I have to get ready for the hell-hole known as UBC again. Actually, I say that now but I know I will miss it within a few months.

And so the Nightmare Beings
After much delay, consideration and procrastination, I finally got my very first credit card. I think it took so long for me to get one because 1. too lazy to actually go to the bank, 2. don't see why i really need one and 3. don't trust myself enough to get one.
Hopefully I will be able to prove to myself that I am now responsible enough to have a powerful piece of plastic in my wallet.
Never was much too excited about the upcoming 2010 Olympics (I am a grouch who'd much rather see all that money go towards alleviating homelessness or lowering my sky-high tuition) but after seeing a list of all the free stuff that's going on in town for the next month, I must admit that I am tempted to cross the floor. I am a cheapass, yes, i will admit.
Perhaps until I attempt to take transit or navigate through Vancouver later on this month.

21嵗
i used to get really excited about my birthday: dinners, gifts, 利是, friends, cakes. But to be honest, in recent years (perhaps the past 2 or 3 years?) i would get really upset about my birthday. Of course, I still enjoy the presents and the company, it's just that when i really sit down and think about it, I am not all too excited.
Birthdays sometime seem to serve as a reminder to me of the fact that I'm 'aging': that time is slowly slipping away and that I haven't done a lot of things that I think are worthwhile, that I have wasted a lot of time committed to things that don't really mean a lot in the long run, and that I am not where I want to be. Maybe I am paranoid, but time is so important to me. After all, this is suppose to be the prime, the time where everything happens and new experiences are everywhere and yet, in the past few birthdays, i have always felt that i've missed out on some things that are meant to be mine by now and all the while doing a whole bunch of things on the side that probably won't mean much ten years down the road. I've felt mediocre at best and I hated that word.
But this year, I feel differently. Maybe because in the past year (while I was 20 years old), I have finally done some things that I'm really pleased with and proud of myself for accomplishing: going to China, living independently for 6 months, traveling solo, meeting new people that are from different cultures, working a 9-5 job at a law firm (albeit only an internship but still, i finally got to fulfill my childhood fantasy of working at 中環), really finding out who I am. Of course, I am not completely satisfied yet (I have yet to join a full-scale musical production) but I know I am getting there somehow.
And this birthday, this 21st year of my life, I am challenging myself to make this year even better than my 20th. I know that as May rolls around and I graduate, nothing will look like what it had looked for the past four years or even for the past 17 years that I've been in school. Next year, as I sit here and write my blog to celebrate my 22nd birthday, I would not be anticipating my final grades like I am now. Maybe I will be working a 9-5 job. Maybe I will be filling out grad school applications. Maybe I will not be in Vancouver. Maybe I will be unemployed. Who knows. But if anything, this 20th year of my life has taught me that I should not be afraid of the unexpected, that i should be ready to make life more exciting.
Next year has to be as rewarding as this. Cheers to being 21.

the weather and my new nail polish
I never knew that Vancouver can be this cold. Of course it snows but mostly, even when it snows, i don't think it's really THAT cold at all. But today, it seemed really really cool (even when I had all my "gear" on). 凍到入骨! According to weather underground, it's -8C outside right now but with windchill it's actually -16C!
Thank God there's no UBC tomorrow or I would not even bother going and walk around campus in this frigid weather.
I bought a new nail polish today (yes again). I am still searching for the perfect i-am-not-wearing-nail-polish-but-i-actually-am colour. This new one turned out okay but Karen says it 'looks cheap'. It's Sally Hansen No Chip 10 Day nail colour in Tough Buff, only 2.99@Zellers today. Maybe I should stop cheaping out and actually go get an OPI or something for $12 (argh almost $10 difference).
After finals are over, I will go get a full set manicure and pedicure treatment. That would be this year's christmas present for my hands and feet =)
and i just watched Love Actually for the 3892708979078th time in my life.

Windy Day
UBC was so windy today that it reminded me of a Disney Winnie-the-Pooh video that I really liked to watch when I was a kid. I think it was called "Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day". Something like that...
Yup, I just googled it. My memory is better than I thought but only for 無聊 things like this. The more important that I really should remember, like how terrorist groups fund their activities, or when the presidency of FDR was, or if UNFIL is in Lebanon or in Liberia, or the difference TVEs and SOEs...I just can't seem to stuff into my mind.

The Start of Christmas
Finally one semi-sunny day after weeks of rain and disgusting-ness; I can finally wear flats instead of boots to school and wear a long coat, not a waterproof jacket. Next week is already the last week of term 1 (so quick!). I promise I will not skip a single class.
Had the opportunity today to take a brief excursion into Metrotown after having dinner with Irene at the Cactus Club across the street. Took 10 minutes to find a parking spot, no wonder Christmas shopping is so stressful for everyone. The mall was so crowded and it was so Christmasy. I really hope I have time to leisurely shop somewhere for Christmas presents soon but I guess this will have to wait till at least after Dec 21st...that's when my last exam is (UBC finds a way to screw me over annually).
For starters though, I got my first Christmas present done today (and I even gave it to the person already). Every year, my family would go through a draw where we draw out each other's name. With the name, we buy a Christmas present for that person (so, like Secret Santa). This year, I got my mom. Just so happened that I found out Karen got dad so we secretly did a deal where we would buy tickets to go see 張偉文 for them. Dad almost got the tickets but he didn't want to spare 38$/ticket to go watch. Finally, we used Benny's credit card to get the tickets for them via ticketmaster and it wasn't even the $38 ones, we got them the $89 ones. Hopefully they'll have a great time.
Last week, I started writing down everything I spend on. In a matter of a week, I spent $200...half to my ridiculous Rogers bill ($90, I didn't know that they started charging for RECEIVED text too) and the other half on other 'student neccesities' like food and Starbucks. It's sad that I can easily spend that much money in a week whereas my dad 不捨得 to spend $38 to see a singer that he really wants to see. I really should reign in my spending. I think for starters, I should stop drinking starbucks and bring my own tea. Secondly, I should stop eating bought food and pack my own snacks. I already bring packed lunch to UBC daily (my mom packs my lunch) but, for anyone that knows me, I am always hungry so I always end up buying a chocolate bar at the vending machine or a cookie from Blue Chips. I should pack my own food...healthier food too. Stuff like crackers and apples.

Going-Home Anxiety
When I left to go on exchange, UBC gave me an Exchange Handbook in which one of the chapters talked about the possibility of experiencing cultural shock and/or anxieties upon encountering new cultures and surroundings (duh.) What really surprised me was when the chapter also mentioned the chance of having another set of culture shock and anxieties upon returning home.
I think I have that right now. Anxiety at least. A part of me really wants to go home because I love Vancouver and I miss all my friends and my bed and my shower and the things that I do in my Vancouver-life (things like singing, gourmet, Joshua, etc.) But at the same time, I am worried about the various changes (big and small) that have taken place while I was away for the past 6 months (i.e. big change: Dude leaving us; small change: mom shifted all the furniture in our house) and other possible (maybe even bigger) changes that I am currently not aware of (i.e. the changes in people).
The handbook also mentioned the fact that "going-home anxiety" might also be a result from the changes that occurred in me as a person, as a result of my experiences during exchange; many people coming home from a foreign country might come back seeing things differently and having experienced things that many people at home have not experienced, or will not understand. I don't see it quite as dramatic as I was only in China (and most of my friends are Asian anyways) but I suppose it would be possible if I went to Uganda instead of the past 6 months.
No matter how anxious I am right now though, I have this sneaky feeling that this will all go away when I head back to Vancouver in exactly 1 week and life will go back to the normal of 6 months prior.

Five Things
Five things to note (in order of importance):
1. Dude is sick again. He's been peeing blood again and refusing to eat and drink. Naturally we're all very concerned about him and wanting to go home to see him. The vet didn't seem especially helpful by suggesting that we run all possible tests on him and claiming that she has no clue what's going on. She's a vet for crying out loud. She should tell us the higher possibilities and narrow the action down, not tell us to run every test possible and see which one is jackpot. Just hoping now he will get better in the next 2 weeks, enough so that when we come back we can take him to his usual vet.
2. Last night, we came to find a lizard on the ceiling of our room. Pretty freaked out. Still don't know where it is right now.
3. Need to start thinking about new volunteer opportunities when I come back to Vancouver.
4. Total solar eclipse and I missed it.
5. I donated money to a cause that I have no clue about today. That's the thing about charities in Hong Kong. They ask you to donate money on the streets without actually telling you what their organization is/what they do. They usually just follow you, saying something really generic like "help the elderly!" and trade your twenty dollar bill for a sticker. I think social services organizations are just as much about education as they are about the money. But that's just my opinion.

Dine Out Vancouver 2009 之第二回





Who: 鄭少,my family and I
Where: Mistral French Bistro (West Broadway)
$: $28
This is actually an early birthday dinner for my mom (since I won't be around on her actual birthday). The stuff is pretty good (Karen: "WHOA this pea soup tastes like there's MSG in it!") and the surroundings are nice. I had duck leg for my main course but to me it tasted like chicken anyways. However, maybe classic French food is really thick and rich (esp. their sauces) we were all kinda sick of our food by the last bites haha. AND they charged me $3 for my Earl Grey at the end of my meal. FYI, Gourmet only charges $1.50 for Orange Pekoe Tea.
Finally bought everything I need for my trip from Superstore today. Right now, there are small piles of things waiting for me to stuff into my suitcases tomorrow. Things like clothes, toiletry, water bottles (two of them actually), gifts for relatives, shoes, jackets, books, etc. It seems that I'll be packing my entire bathroom and 1/4 of my closet into my suitcases. I honestly hope I'm not missing anything but foreseeing 4-5 months into the future is not my forte.
Today is Chinese New Year but the only CNY-ish thing I did was get 利是 from my parents and my tutor student's mom. Hopefully I can make up for the lack of atmosphere when I'm in HK. I haven't been to a 花市 since forever.
祝大家:
心想事成!
新年進步!
(one year someone wished my dad 不勞而獲 and he thought that was a good one haha)
currently listening: 漣漪 - 陳百強 (makes me wonder why singers that sound good usually have untimely deaths)

當"查查"遇上 GM 一起去 Dine Out
I always say that Sundays are totally my busiest days and today was no exception:
靠主的力量, 我順順利利地把我這幾個禮拜的心頭大石放下了: 領詩. 雖然不能說得上是十全十美 (我爸問我點解"無拉拉"唱唱下歌要祈禱) but i think 這份神給我的差事總算有一個神應該滿意的交代. 雖然早堂崇拜的時候,看到台下的會衆好像不太投入,令到我有點 disappointed, but at that moment I know that what other people choose to do with the chance to worship is their business. As long as I am worshiping God, I've done my part. 起碼到午堂的時候,看到大部分的會衆也蠻投入, 跟我和 band 一起敬拜的時候, 都覺得花過的心機, 應該是沒有白費的.
今次的領詩,有三大感恩的地方:
1. 查查 - i think it enhanced the worship quite well. And according to Brian, "tambourines are quite Biblical"
2. 今次其實都是 Joanna 第一次做我的和音. 雖然我看不到她的面部表情,但是眼角看到她都是在敬拜的時候,我就覺得很被鼓勵. (why is 鼓勵 and 孤立 the same pinyin anyways...it's like opposite meaning words sounding EXACTLY the same!)
3. 唱奉獻詩的時候看到坐在大堂後排的 Joanne 好開心,笑眯眯...雖然不知道她在笑什麽,但是看到她笑,令到我都忍不住笑...haha
下午跑了去幫 Grace Melodia 搬家. 雖然幫不上什麽的忙 (我又沒有車,而且他們昨天已經搬了七七八八), 我都有紀念品...就是.....GM 新出的 CD 兩張! ! 第一時間回到家就是聼那 EsC 的 CD (I guess I'm kinda her mini fan 哈哈 LOVE her music. its so straightforward in an artistic but non pretentious fashion) 覺得好好聽. 最大的驚喜就是聽到第八首的時候,聽到一把很熟識的聲音.taking a look at the book that comes with the CD...原來那和音就是自己!! wow so shocked hhahaha...有點覺得自豪...so i called my mom and Karen in to listen. They had to strain SO hard to hear me.
me: HEAR IT? the AHHHs!! that's ME! and the OOOHs?!?! thats me too!!
Karen: ...
At night went to my 1st dine out of 2009 (don't worry, there's only 2). Fish House at Stanley Park. Don't go. It's crappy. Thank God I had considerably entertaining company...haha. The funny (somewhat dumb) jokes and Edward's english totally made the dinner worth 34$ =)
明天的挑戰: 公司三文治 !

my trip to the aquarium

Yesterday, 鄭少 and I went to the Vancouver Aquarium and saw some real cool sea creatures. I was particularly amazed at how the sea turtle (as seen above) can coexist with at least five sharks, a few sting rays AND a few smaller fishies in the same tank (I was amazed by that last time I went too). How come they don't eat each other or chase each other around? The fish in my dad's fish tank at home ALWAYS chase each other and bite at each other's fins. Amongst the thousands of various fish, mammals, reptiles, etc that we saw, i think the sea otter (who was constantly cleaning/rubbing/scrubbing/flipping himself in the most hilarious manner) shares a striking resemblance with Dude.
