i love my mac

so everyone's talking about blogging nowadays to i figured i'd better also jump of the bandwagon, although i already web-master the veuda.com site. so, to define blog.veuda.com, it is a page of casual messages, unsolicited comments, and unsubstantiated statements.

none

well, other than feeling like total crap yesterday night and today, i guess the day has gone by relatively well (as of yet) with considerable productivity thanks to the work distribution earlier in the day. i'm kinda pissed that i've still not received any news on my ipod nano yet, but i'm definately calling the shop saturday to ask what the heck is going on..... as i really like to get the thing to use next week....

of all seriousness, i'm actually considering (still very much considering) to get another nano, 2GB white, and maybe give it out as a present or something to my dad or brother, since it's just nice to have a white one around.. man, guys and their toys....

it's like 9:15 right now and i really wanna go home, but unfortunately i need to wait for the render dude to finish whatever he's up to, so i can instruct him on the next step on things, along with mr chen. hopefully we can wrap this thing up friday, but for all intentional purposes, i'm still assuming that i don't leave until noon on saturday. hopefully tonight's the last night i need to stay overtime, however unlikely.....

and it has been due to many things, another week where i've dragged not doing the youde scholarship thingy... very bad of me.. i find it disturbing that i was upset after chatting online with cindy the other day, since i thought for the very least i could have just got over with it after all this time, but man, i was both pissed and upset,... i guess for that reason i have an anger toward myself, can i for once just get over it???

i know hwat i really need is a vacation, that's why i can't wait til october, ... first the trip to hangzhou, then jesse making his whirlwind tour of asia in 2 days... it's gonna rock... but then after that there won't be any holiday until february,.... wtf, dont they celebrate christmas in this country???.....

i guess i'm just being an f-ing ignorant redneck pain in the butt....

so then, i hope that this weekend will be well preserved and that i can really enjoy it to sort of vent out the anger for this world, yet again i just might be suffering a quarter-age crisis and i'll just have to untie my own knot...

nano!!!

So the first thing i did when i went back to hk this weekend was to go nano hunting... after a quick lunch i rushed to causeway bay, went to the designer concept store, and there it was... actually it was kinda amazing, all the mac-related stores had a crowd with people asking about the nano, luckily the second thing i did was to go to the closest store and ordered my 4gb black nano.... the only things that were in stock in the whole of hk were 2 gig white nanos,.. although i wanted the nano bad, i wanted the black one more... today is monday, and i called the store, who told me that it won't arrive til tomorrow... hopefully i won't have to work OT so i can rush down to pick it up...

like the med all over again

today i went to our site at nan'ao, where we are supposed to design for a number of villa (or villae???) a fascinating site with a magnificant view of the sea, and right in front of you ping chau (part of hong kong)..... reminds me of the med, especially santorini, which in turn reminds me of hong kong haha..... but it was nice to get in touch with the sea.... after that we went to a development/villa complex called mile 17... not too bad although small quirks and glitches, also the villa were a bit small and squashed... incidentally it was the work of rocco, design wise it was pretty outstanding, given the stingent requirements of developers in china

sort of productive sunday

i guess i'm churning as many blogs i can right now to test out this whole daily blogging concept... not much to write about today... sort of productive, got most of the youde business sorted out and up and ready (sort of) for a new week of work.

not a bad saturday`

i think it's the first time i felt good doing absolutely nothing productive for a saturday..... went out with my bro to see charlie and the chocolate factory... a very well done movie and of course, johnny depp was excellent as usual.... then had dinner with friends from yew chung along with mrs downey, ms suen, ms ng and ms cheung... was a really nice dinner since i haven't seen them for a very very long time..... look forward to my year here in china, now that i can meet them any weekend that's convenient......

after dinner us kids went out to wan chai for the bars.... a bit tipsy but definately ok by myself, had a couple of bottles but nice atmosphere... moreover very nice conversations and i also learned how to play some dice games... was great to see everyone

ok, i'm babbling...

just back from china

sigh~~~!!! man, worked thru last weekend, so i've been working 12 days straight.... guess i shouldn't complain though since my collegues would be working through this weekend as well, and haven't had a weekend for 2 weeks..... so i guess working in architecture and working in china sucks in that sense.... too bad... i guess i was looking forward to working in china but so far i feel that my expectations were set a bit high.... part of it because i don't like shenzhen ("to be honest everytime i come here i can't wait to leave"), and then the job i have is ultra low pay (in US standards) and long workings hours (maybe also in US standards as well). but i guess i'm slightly better off than others that i have an apartment to myself, and it's very convenient for me to escape to hong kong........ maybe things would have been better if i worked in hong kong, ... the city, for the least, has more to do beyond shopping of cheap stuff (which is pretty much all there is to do in shenzhen)......

welp, i shall enjoy my weekend and recharge myself for yet another work week.... :P

this is blogger one

have actually been blogging since last year, but in a strict sense, it wasn't a blogging with atom feeds and all that technical stuff.... so today i've tried registering to blogger.com and seeing if i can get the real thing working on my webspace.... hopefully some time later i can incorporate the blogger system into my existing website. for now, this would be the casual webspace for me to jabble some notes now and then.... although i'm not sure if the chinese censors have banned blogger.com already (:P),... anyways, enjoy.
