Going AWOL

I had no intention to do that.... going AWOL (absent without official leave). Then again, it's my blog so why do I need an 'official letter of absence'?

But practicing the spirit of a good blogger, I know I have to explain myself, be responsible for my actions...cheh... like so serious only.... professional... ;p

Okay. The last you heard of me was on the 22 of August were I was nearly done packing for my trip to Shanghai, China. I knew that I would be Facebook-less for 2 weeks and thought, 'hmm... never mind, I can still blog...' but to my horror.... Blogger is banned too!! BANNED!! I thought they fren-fren back with Google d?! They why still ban blogger? >_<

Anyway, that is my reason for not blogging (for that 2 weeks). But why didn't I blog after I came back? Simple. Work in the office was like a war zone!! Projects back to back to back... and wean it came to the weekend, I'd rather chill doing a Fringe (OMG!! It's like one of the most super duper drama series in my list) than to string up sentences... sorry... maybe I'm not a very good blogger after all... ;p

But with all that in the past, I'M BACK!!

Will slowly blog about my Shanghai experience bit by bit... it's my little way of giving back to the world wide web, adding more information so that people like me can have easier access to information when doing their research. :)

48 hour count down

In exactly 48 hours, I will be landing on China soil!! Excited and sad and happie and scared all jumbled up inside...

My luggage: 85% packed. Still missing are mt daily skin care toiletries.

My research... 1 full page dedicated to just shopping places... I like!! :)

Oh! Facebook is banned in China... what a downer...

Sunday Blue Skies ~♥

I just LOVE days like this... makes me happie, even though I'm not planning to step out of the house.

Just love the view from my bedroom window. :D

Waking up at 8am on a Saturday

For those who know me, sleeping always comes first for me, especially when it's day time (I'm like a vampire. I prefer night time to day time. I'd rather sleep in late till the afternoon than to go to bed at 10 at night.)

Anyhow, I'm up so early today because I had to play the part of a good girlfriend who wakes up early to prepare breakfast for the BF before he set off for his 6 hour drive home to Terengganu. (Good right?? :p) So, it's like having a 'blue moon' (ironic huh?), so what did I do?

Jeng, jeng, jeng...

I gave my favourite lion a long awaited bath!!

After I'm all dried up, I'm going to be 'SO FLUFFY I'M GOING TO DIE'!! :p

I've been putting it off for quite a while now, because I'm afraid he cannot dry in up in time for bed time (I cannot sleep without him...), and besides, I need him clean and fluffy when in Shanghai (Yes! He goes wherever I go)!

Can's wait for him to dry... And oh! For those who don't know him, his name is Leon. :)

Tip: While washing a stuffed animal, it's good to let it soak in the soapy warm water for around 10 minutes to let the detergent soak into it's cotton (maybe longer if it's really,really dirty). Then rinse off with water. Lastly finish off with some Softener for that soft fluffy like new feeling!

Down --> Up --> Up --> Down

Down: Had to wake up extra early because bossman wants to have an early morning meeting at 9.30am!

-

Up: Bossman was suppose to be on leave only starting tomorrow but he decided to take the 2nd half of the day off today too!! Wee!!

-

Up: Got paid today!! Yeah baby!! It's only the 19th! And my increment IS included!! NICE!!

-

Down: having very bad sinus now. The type that makes your face numb, eyes dry and nose super watery. And it's another 2 more hours till the day ends!! Plus there is some job to work on.... but my heart is already in Shanghai...

-

Prediction --> Flat: By night fall. After medication. :( Another night wasted going down the drain. Am suppose to start packing!! :(

Hahaha... found this pic on FFFFOUND (linked to Gizmodo).

Farny-ly stupid. LOVE!! :D

Monolouge; Questions I Ask: Gay

A few days ago, when I was on my way out from the studio to go get some water, I bumped into an old lady at the corridor asking for directions to the loo. It may sound like nothing to you, but did you know I work in a house with only 10 employees (including the bossman) and it's the 7th month of the lunar calendar? And as far as I know, I've been here 3 months and I don't recall having an old lady as a colleague. So where did this old lady come from? Creepy huh? Well, after a split second, then it accrue to me that she was the bossman's mother. Haha...

Back to the main topic. A few hours later, when I was in the loo (hmm... my mind then to wonder and ask silly and weird questions when I'm doing my business. Is it only me or do all girls do that?), I though of something. You see, being in the A&D industry for nearly 6 years now, it's very common for us to meet gay people, regardless male or female. My first 2 Cd's were gay, my 2nd boss is gay, I have a few ex-colleagues who are too, and my current boss? You get the point. I never had a problem with that. So what if they are attracted to the same gender? Does this make them less human then we are? I don't think so. It's not a crime right?

Anyway, then it hit me. Does the bossman's mother know about her son? From what I know? He is the only son and he still stays with her. He is the one who usually sends and accompany her to her check ups. So? You ask? Well, for the (old) Chinese, they believe being either the only son of the family or even the eldest plays a very important role. He is the one who has to hold the responsibility to continue the family's legacy, spread the family's seed. The bossman is around 40+ of age. He is considered a successful man, but does his mother always wonder why isn't he married yet? Has he told her? Did she accept the truth? How does she feel?

Then, I start to make a list of people I know that are gay, starting from school. Yup. A few. No biggie. I accept them for who they are. Collage. A few too. I also accept them for who they are. My working life. By now, I'm already used to it. Then the list came down to my family. As far as I am aware off, no one in may family is. Nada. Zilch.

So, then I asked myself. Could I accept the news if it were to be my brother? My cousin? My child? I don't have an answer. I really don't know. Could I accept it or not.

How about you then? Yes or No?
