So I had friends calling me up all day telling me to go home early 'cause it'll be T8 tomorrow (or today, more like it).  Of course when I asked them to meet up at night they said no because it might not be T8 after all (then why were you so sure when y'all were spreading the news?!). 

I love the rain and the drama of it all, the thunder, the rain just drumming away...  The only thing about typhoons is that they seem to only roll by on weekends and on holidays!  It's the only reason why us students despise this great excuse from school/work. 

Quite unlike the typhoons, jobs only roll by my doorstep when I already have a project I'm working on or when I'm at school.  Like every other summer, I'm at home having nothing better to do than to bury myself over NDS Pokemon or Harvest Moon haha...although I guess it's a good time for me to rest up to get ready for school (which sadly begins on the 1st Sept), and jobs that are supposed to tire me out!  If everything goes well I'll be starting an acting gig with TVB in November, however there is a big scrīpt alteration, which as we all know... it might as well be a totally different story.  So stay posted for the latest updates!

My cousin got married back in Australia in late April.  Having family on both sides, it was basically expected for them to throw another wedding for us Hongkies!  I've always been a girl who, um, needed a little more time than the others to develop my sense of girly-ness.  People talk about girls dreaming of getting married and having the perfect wedding.  What left a memorable trail in my mind was a snippet from Friends. 


This, my friends is what I've always lacked as a girl.  Getting married has always been somewhat of an old fairytale for me.  Though I was only a kid, marriage sounded overrated to me - in the sense that I didn't understand how it was such a good thing to dream about. 

I have cousins getting married in these recent years and that made me pick up what I never touched before.  Sitting there, watching even the cousins that I didn't know well made me feel so happy and so touched.  For me, it was a thought of 'how great would it be to have such a day?'; though on the other hand I'm really looking forward to some of my other cousins getting married (and I'm pretty sure that those who comes across this piece of writing will be freaked out of their skins right now).  The cousins who are like brothers and sisters, and best friends of mine.  I'd like to think that I'd be more involved when that day rolls by - after all I did accidentally become a match maker!  This is a dangerous zone to visit... as it leads back to some of the old days that I really miss.  So before I get too sentimental...

Had a great day chilling with two families today.  Feeling like an outsider at the beginning, all the ice melted when the kids decided that I'm .. uh, existent and when I met their Retriever Chocolate!  Chocolate is the most adorable dog ever, him and I bonded like long lost mates hehe.  Fun continued as we decided to make a random trip to Big Wave Bay where I took the youngest of the kids splashing out towards the sea.  I really can't decide which was better, being with Isaac the little baby or being one of the crew trying to convince Chocolate that he would like to swim!

It's time for bed... having to wake up for dinner after falling asleep was just too painful!  Haha...  New respect for parents and the energy they fire up.  Taking care of kids ain't easy...  I really doubt my ability to raise kids hahahaha

Slept for 5-6 hours and was dragged out of bed to go see the doctor who was obviously sick of her job. 

I planned to go straight back to bed but how can I miss the swimming events?!!!  I've taken a liking in watching swimming events.  It's a sweet reminder of the old days when I used to watch my friends swim and race in the same stadium - and to be secretly really proud of them.  There's a certain magic in them when they glide through that body of water, something I can never do: it's like... elegance versus a drowning dog.

ok back to the games.

是沒有勇氣去改變，還是已經不再找尋新鮮感？

Ahhhhh KOBEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

What a struggle.
The opening ceremony was beautiful and despite all the jokes we made, I was real proud of China.  Watching the China vs. USA basketball game was hard.  Despite knowing that USA will win I couldn't resist not cheering the China team on.  And to be honest, I was impressed by this red team.  Great effort and KOBEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
