Sunny Chan blogs Can you see the Logic in my Madness?

Well, after I just finished my lunch, I saw this on BBC website.... I can probably be able to afford one of these for lunch soon:

The most expensive sandwich in London

HMMMMMMMMMMM..............

Well.. I have been working pretty hard at work during the day and sorting out my flat during the night - it is making progress though not as fast as I would like.

Anyway. I having headache picking colours for my flat. I am trying to pick something that look good but not to plain... it is proven to be hard! I have already put sample paints on the wall but none of them look quite right. I have a few suggestions from my mates - but still no conclusion yet :-(

Well, the news is that soon I will be making another life changing decision, so stay tuned.

Haven't really written anything last few weeks - but I have been so busy with all sorts of things then I just don't really have time to sit down and reflect.

Flat is making progress, the kitchen floor is now been fixed and looks great, so now I need to sort out the sockets and stuff and find myself a washing machine and fridge. It probably need a good clean after all these building work!

The carpet vendor is coming to measure and give me a quote on how much it is going to cost to replace the carpet. I haven't really decided what colour the carpet and the wall should be... Well I am not really good at these things and I am a bit worried that I made the wrong choice (apprantly the pale yellow shirt I bought in M&S do not look nice with anything................................)

And then there are other things that keep me busy.. shouldn't talk about it in public yet but when it is ready I will tell all :-D

Oh.. Happy Birthday Sharon!

Well, as you know I drive around all day going to work, and therefore do listen to a lot of the radio - there is another song that's quite catchy. So those who are living in hong kong should look out for them (well I suppose they only care about cantopops!)

Crazy by Gnarls Barkley (prouncations: Noels Bark-ley)

I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind

There was something so pleasant about that place.

Even your emotions had an echo

In so much space


And when you're out there

Without care,

Yeah, I was out of touch

But it wasn't because I didn't know enough

I just knew too much


Does that make me crazy

Does that make me crazy

Does that make me crazy

Probably


And I hope that you are having the time of your life

But think twice, that's my only advice

Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are,

Ha ha ha bless your soul

You really think you're in control


Well, I think you're crazy

I think you're crazy

I think you're crazy

Just like me


My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb

And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them

Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun

And it's no coincidence I've come

And I can die when I'm done


Maybe I'm crazy

Maybe you're crazy

Maybe we're crazy

Probably

One of my favourite song at the moment...

Put Your Records On, by Corinne Bailey Rae

Three little birds, sat on my window.

And they told me I don't need to worry.

Summer came like cinnamon

So sweet,

Little girls double-dutch on the concrete.


Maybe sometimes, we got it wrong, but it's alright

The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same

Oh, don't you hesitate.


Go, put your records on, tell me your favourite song

You go ahead, let your hair down

Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,

Just go ahead, let your hair down.


You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.


Blue as the sky, sombre and lonely,

Sipping tea in the bar by the road side,

(just relax, just relax)

Don't you let those other boys fool you,

Gotta love that afro hairdo.


Maybe sometimes, we feel afraid, but it's alright

The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change.

Don't you think it's strange?


Go, put your records on, tell me your favourite song

You go ahead, let your hair down

Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,

Just go ahead, let your hair down.


You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.


Just more than I could take, pity for pity's sake

Some nights kept me awake, I thought that I was stronger

When you gonna realise, that you don't even have to try any longer.

Do what you want to.


Go, put your records on, tell me your favourite song

You go ahead, let your hair down

Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,

Just go ahead, let your hair down.


Go, put your records on, tell me your favourite song

You go ahead, let your hair down

Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,

Just go ahead, let your hair down.


Oh, You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow

Well, I won't moan about working on Sunday...

The builder who suppose to do my kitchen floor stood me up yesterday...... and I had to wake up at 8.30am just for him! Geezzzz... I thought only me who stand people up! Anyway, I took Krios with me after lunch to look at my flat, and I am glad to say he agrees with me where the LCD TV should be hung on the wall. Now I just wish someone can bloody sort out the kitchen floor so that I can plan the rest of my flat!

Last night we had Joey's leaving do and it was really sad to see her go. But then I think her soul is bigger then London I suppose and I think New York is probably a better place for her (think "Sex and the City" and Sarah Jessica Parker)... though I don't think I can stand an American Husband for Joey ("That's ridiculous! Hell yeah...I would like some to-may-to sauce please" to-ma-to! Geezzz).. Nah she will be alright - I am looking forward to visit in New York!

I have done a lot of silly things for last few weeks - I don't know why - I think I might need to calm down a little, and take life a bit easier..

Joey is off to New York soon - Me and the crews are going out with her to send her off. Last few years I think we haven't spent a lot of time talking like we used to during our university days but I will miss her when she's gone. I wish her luck in New York..

Well, got the keys for the few days now, but I don't have a date to move in yet.... There is a hole in the kitchen and I have got a builder to take a look at it. Luckily it is not too serious and they can fix it. Though I hate the kitchen unit door and I may go and change it. It seems like I don't have to take the kitchen unit out after all, which is a relief!

Once I have got it sorted I can go and get all the utilities and funiture. I need a nice big double bed (even though it is just me who is sleeping on it!) And of course, the LCD TV! I think the paint is fine, so I am going to keep the way it is.

So hopefully I can move in sooner rather then later. I am looking forward to have my own mess again!

This is cool - some physicist in US decided to study the social interaction between high school students and derived a mathematical model to work out whether you are going to be mates or not...

The Physics of Friendship

Now I wonder whether they can work out a mathematical model for working out whether a girl is a mate or a date! hmmm.... money making opportunities!

I had a chat with a female friend in Hong Kong tonight. Her bf "blanked" her because he find her a bit troublesome... so I shared some of the things how I feel about my previous relationships, etc. Well I think I have learnt a lesson.

Guys always think they are spolied for choice - and we always think "it's greener on the other side". So some will dump their girl, "play the field" and see whether they will find anything better. After a few failed attempts, they will realise that their ex is actually their perfect match. But by that time it will be too late.

I remember a long time ago a guy told me he did this with his wife, and luckily he got her back and have a happy ending. His recommendation is never attempt to do it however much you feel the grass is greener.

I suppose some people need to learn things by the hard way................................

Well, another new era has arrived - I am officially a home owner - SHOCKING!

I picked up the keys at 1pm yesterday, and went straight there to measure and have a look. Generally okay though I think it probably need a new kitchen, new carpet and a lick of paint. So plenty of work to do!

You can find the pictures of my flat here

Went to see As You Like It tonight, it's alright except that I am scratching my head for a bit as it is a Shakespeare play, and they speak in 16th century English - that's not easy to understand! :-(

Maybe it's because it's grey out there? Or maybe it just that I have missed another boat. Oh well, I have make my choice and I am sticking with it. I didn't know I actually miss "the boat" that much, nevermind

You learn things when you get older, and I have certainly learnt a few lesson. When you did have something you never missing them, but then when it is gone through your finger you do miss them dearly.

Don't worry Mini, I am not selling you yet - I can't get to work without you (which could be a good thing)!

I just wanted to go out and drink this weekend - anyone wants to come along drop me a line.




 

You would not find it anywhere else in the world:

Of course if you are a kid, you get pay well:

Kids get paid to get off the street

Mom, why did I never have that when I was younger?!

Genius.

Why am I up this time at night?

Just found this article on ISTP (my Myer-Briggs Type) , and it is so true:

---

Recognising Stress

As stress increases, 'learned behaviour' tends to give way to the
natural style, so the ISTP will behave more according to type when
under greater stress. For example, in a crisis, the ISTP might:

• withdraw from people, to think through possible solutions
  


• use tried and trusted solutions to short-term problems
  


• criticise others efforts and ignore their feelings
  


• sort out detailed points that could perhaps wait
  

Under extreme stress, fatigue or illness, the ISTP's shadow may appear - a negative form of ENFJ. Example characteristics are:

• displaying intense feelings towards others, or insisting on things being done without any logical basis
  


• being very sensitive to criticism
  


• having a gloomy view of the future
  


• attributing unrealistic negative meaning to others actions or statements
  

The shadow is part of the unconscious that is often visible to others,
onto whom the shadow is projected. The ISTP may therefore readily see
these faults in others without recognising it in him/her self.

Anyway...... I think I do have a problem letting my feeling out I suppose, and that I only see the logical side of things rather then the big picture.

I just wish people understand the picture I see and how it is fits together, and not to impose their views into my world..... I know they want the best for me, but what they see as the best option is not necessarily right - remember, I am an "I"... I keep things to myself

Oh well, I think it is about time for me to start my own blog. This has been long time coming - I am trying to find a Java Blogger and only recently I manage to get one going on my server. Who needs php anyway when you can run it in *ALL* in Java -this runs on IBM JVM (I made it), Apache Derby, Apache Tomcat and roller weblogger

Lately a lot has been going on. Too many things that I won't want to let the whole world know... but if you know me well enough I should have told you by now! Anyway I think it is an exciting time of my life - I am now officially a home owner! Finally there is a piece of earth that I can call my own, for which I can paint it any colour I want! I am looking forward to that.

Just took Mini to the garage today... gosh she is getting a bit of "high maintenance" lately.. I have to replace the front tyres for 110quid a pop... ouch........ and then I have to do some suspension tuning............ that's another 145quid. ouch ouch............. don't know how long I can afford to date mini now that I have a flat to pay for next 25 years!

okay okay I have moan enough (nothing special then!)

This blog is still under beta testing... may disappear if it doesn't work properly!
