We’re all pigs

Bored at work, actually don’t feel like working. Too much on my mind. Spent an hour looking at various cartoon pictures of Chinese guys in the dynasty eras. I want to do a comics strip and it’s called doing “reasearch” for it. haha.
Not much to say, so I am pasting a Chinese joke instead.
人=吃饭+睡觉+上班+玩 [...]

The kaimushi was ok

The Olympic’s Opening ceremony, or 开幕式 (kai-mu-shi) was not bad. The opening bit with the drummers was cool. I admit that. But then it drifted in some obscure references of long gone eras that even the Chinese presenters and my Chinese companions were at times lost as to how to interprete. (For info, the [...]

2 weeks to go …. Some thoughts

2 more weeks and it will be the Olympics in Beijing. But I don’t feel anything about it. I can’t care any less.
I’m getting more and more sluggish at work. Need to pull myself to complete the June accounts asap.
A distant auntie wants to introduce me to a girl in Shanghai because an uncle apparently [...]

Sick and no laptop

Caught a cold on Saturday night, as I slept in the living room (tout nu) with the windows open. Still trying to get well, but my “dear” colleagues switch the aircon on in the afternoon since the SH weather is heavy, humid and very hot. It has been raining a lot over the last 10days [...]

Taizhou

Went to Taizhou, in Jiangsu province last week, for business purpose. Arrived there on Thursday evening, had the meeting on Friday afternoon (the time was moved because one of the people attending was still out of town), took the coach back to Shanghai on Saturday morning. I had no time to visit the place. But [...]

Wii or Xbox?

That’s my main question right now. Forget the income tax seminar (that I didn’t attend because I got sick), never mind the list of duties that the Chinese accountant just gave me (it looks like I will have to setup and take care of the whole thing). All in my mind is the question: Wii [...]

Misc. pictures

Some miscellaneous pictures I had in my handphone. Not very nice, but was bored.

The glaring yellowish thing on the floor IS snow. Picture taken of the train depot opposite my house.

Misty pictures of the Ferris Wheel in Jinjiang Amusement Park. That’s how most days are in Shanghai currently. Try to find the wheel in the [...]

Update

Picture taken from 9tour.cn
It’s been a long time since I posted anything. Been busy/lazy/whatever ….
I am now in Shanghai, feeling darn cold. I will spare the rants about Air Mauritius’s lack of Chinese music and movie channels not properly identifiable. There is no HK destination on the list of flights.
I moved into a small apartment, [...]

Home - impressions

I have been back home for almost two weeks, but been very lazy to write. As usual. Getting more and more lazy.
So what are the news? My mother’s trying to feed me like one tries to feed a turkey before Thanksgiving. :D (Moi ki ti croire mo pou kapav plati ventre ene ti p :P)
Forgot [...]

Back home, no laptop

Still awaiting my new laptop. It’s been a disappointment not receiving it even though I spent a week in Hong Kong. I thought that after confirming the quotation, I would get in easily during the 7-8 days I spent there. I was wrong.
Not only did we miss on the straightforward confirmation because my friend’s staff [...]
