Christmas

Cold. Cold. Cold. 0 degrees or even below.
Sunny and bright. I like it.
Christmas is coming. And I’m going to Hong Kong.
For the first time in my life I’m not spending Christmas with my family. Well, I’ll be with another family. I’m going to Hong Kong!
Maybe someday these families will meet.
I’ve had a nice time with friends recently. My swimming coach. My personal coffee maker. The girl, who constantly improves my English vocabulary. The boy, who brings oranges. The girl in pink glasses.
Merry Christmas, everyone.
Let there be love.

my mistakes were made for you

My mistakes were made for you…

"About as subtle as an earthquake, I know

My mistakes were made for you

And in the back room of a bad dream, she came

And whisked me away, enthused

And it’s solid as a rock rolling down a hill

The fact is that it probably will hit something

On the hazardous terrain"

iron stomach

I didn’t feel well yesterday. Teaching was OK, but after dinner I started to have a headache.. At first I thought it was because of the weather change (getting really cold!). I came back home in the evening and it was worse and worse. Not only headache, I also got stomachache. God, what a terrible pain! I felt I had to go to the toilet.. and vomited a couple of times.  Was that the food? I had some scrambled eggs for dinner…

The pain didn’t stop. I got pale and sweaty. Shivers. Tears in my eyes – just flowing! I could have fainted!

I went to the hospital. Took a taxi – that drive was one of the worst experiences I had. You can imagine what happened. The taxi wasn’t totally clean after I had left it.

I got some pills and went back home. I don’t want to think what kind of pills I got. The doctor didn’t speak English… I just hope I won’t get poisoned. Funny thing: he could say only some English words like diarrhea or vomit. Hehe.

I drank hot water and fell asleep.

It’s better now, although I still feel very weak.

My colleagues used to say that I had an iron stomach. Not anymore, I guess.

high fashion

That’s my birthday gift. JJ Lin’s CD called "Sixology". Good stuff!
Enjoy the music. Feel the vibe. It’s high fashion.
