hah, ivy league dinner was better than expected (& way much better than last year's) but still...no way i'm gonna go again next year. went home after dinner, but then couldn't sleep... so i changed my mind & took a taxi down to causeway bay to join the cornell people for a drink... & got to see harris who i haven't seen for ages.... good that vince reserved a free ING ticket for me (haha...got to save $180!), so i went down to ING, but it was almost two o'clock (oh well, who cares! since my friends were already down there having fun). was actually pretty late when i went in, (okie, anna & her bf, so as humphrey walked out when i walked in)... but good to be able to find nat, sarah & tam in the crowd. then bumped into brendon, who was obviously pretty drunk. (okay...sometimes i really dun understand how guys can sit at ING for more than an hour but NOT dancing at all! oh well....) can't believe myself stayed at there until the lights were on...& guess what, there was a couple dancing madly on the square box (so everybody got to see them dance!) but..yo...that dude had his shoes, socks, pants, & shirts off! so he only had his boxer on. me & daro were standing by the bar chatting, both of us agreed that that guy was NOT drunk at all...just wanna show off..oh man..but he wasn't that well-built..u know...not muscles..but fats! hm.. so it was almost five by the time i left ING, went to chui wah for some snack with friends.... after finding out that i go to cornell & major in econ, my friend's friend asked me to explain game theory & tell him more about john nash. seriously 1) i didn't watch that movie 2) i know nothing about john nash 3) until now, i dun understand much about game theory... that's the reason i skipped that nash equilibrium question on econ 101 final. 4) totally unexpected one will ask me such questions after dancing & drinking.....

invited some cornell people over to my home the other day...can't believe myself being able to wake up at nine the following morning (haha...amazed at myself having a conscious mind & functioning body after having 3 hours of sleep).... was pretty fun... oh goody = )

went out shopping with cheri today = )     yay! bought two nice but cheap white plates from seibu. was surprised to bump into uncle kelvin & his family after cheri left me. was a bit upset on my way home...dunno why... so went into park'n shop... then came out with bags of candies & apples & kiwis... -sigh-....

dunno what happen to me these days... have had several sleepless nites... - deep sigh-

oh God, please help me.

steph, thank you for getting me the books. am reading it rite now... very sweet & touching. = )   & thank you aunty nancy for those beautiful bookmarks = ) 

state of emergency. have been spending money just way tooooo much these two days. -sigh-. all along, dad has been warnng his daughter's pace of spending money.... (oops  ..the only habit that i pick up from my mom) .... didn't take his complaint seriously until today. after doing a little calculation, it finally does alarm me the amount that i spent. oh no..... but all those stuff that i bought were not even on my shopping list! arghhh... but glad that i can wear those jeans, skirt, tops,  boots & pajamas in all four seasons...& have the habit of collecting books anyway... & the mascara & lip gloss & nail polish can last for a pretty long time... process in selecting & buying the accessories gave me joy... so, to me, all these items are like durable goods... should be able to breakeven pretty soon...haha..the only practical thing that i learnt from economics.

but still, have promised my aunt to go shopping with her on thurs... hope that 1) she wants to buy diamonds; which i can't afford buying it anways 2) she wants to renew her furniture 3) she changes her plan & wanna have high-tea instead.....

woo hoo! work is finally over. yessssss! yesssss! cannot be more joyous! now i can have more time spent with my family & friends. haha, that's what summer vacation meant to be, enjoying life & spending time with people who i love & care

dinner with char on wed nite at jw california was marvellous. we surely had a v. good time. unexpected surprise in finding out char's friend, mark, works at the restaurant as the 'oyster' chef. haha, so we had the privelege of having some samples of fresh oysters from australia. both char & i are food lovers = P we felt so pleased with the grilled prawn salad, the halibut, & especially the fresh wild berries with ice-cream. oh-la-la...they were all heavenly good. knowing that both char & i are berries-lovers, mark had the chef to give us more berries...so it turned out that we had more blueberries, starwberries, & raspberries than the other diners...haha. feel sorry for the couple sitting next to us...guess they were a bit annoyed by char's & my giggles & laughs, & the flashes of my camera...oops...sorry. http://www.pbase.com/vikki/i_didnt_go_to_work_today

haha, then nite out with char & nat last nite. again, we all had a terrific time. luv my lovely friends = )  char will be flying with her family to the states today for vacation, so i probably won't get to see her until christmas.... sad sad sad......
