Stranger in the mirror

I love Disney cartoons. Always have and always will. I'll be showing disney cartoons to my children and grandchildren forever. Heheh. I especially like all the old Disney cartoons, not new ones. I faithfully download every Disney cartoon when I was in London and buy them when I'm back in Kuching.



Right now I'm watching Mulan. Something stands out: it takes only a grain of rice of tip a scale. One man may be the difference between victory and defeat. Some chinese proverbs makes sense and it just makes me wish I've been to chinese school.

who is the girl i see staring at me?
why is my reflection someone i don't know
somehow i cannot hide
who i am
though i've tried
when will my reflection show
who i am inside
when will my reflection show
who i am inside..

Big Apple Donuts



Big Apple Donuts at the Spring, Kuching. This post is long outdated but never mind lah. I'm surprised the queue was still so long. Just goes to show that it is delicious. and fat.



Winnie insisted on a box of 12: we just picked whichever was available..



The donuts are freshly made which is very nice. I hate stale food, especially after working at MCD. Anything after 5 mins, I don't eat. haha. this only applies to McD lar..come on. I'm not that picky.

Anyway, I took a bite out of a chocolate covered one, and a white top covered. It was so sweet that my teeth hurt. I didn't eat anymore after that.

Winnie and dad had 4 each i guess. Kevin and Elaine finished the rest. Mum like me, took a bite out of one of the coffee flavored one.

I wanted to try this: oreo flavored donut. But it was gone in 3 seconds. 3 bites. Damn.



This is mango tango. You can see the mango oozing out. I think the donuts are very soft compared to the donuts I had before at Camden town, London. Over there, I wait till closing time to buy 3 for £1.



At Big Apple donuts, their workers follow assembly line production. One of them is frying the donuts, then another one scoops them up, and pass them down the line. till another one who puts the toppings on. and another one who puts it in a box etc..



But they're quite slow in actions. Probably need a bigger work place for more workers.



Winnie with her prize:

Life

I know I should listen to older and wiser people. Deep down, i do know they're right.

I seem to be action on emotions rather than thinking logically with my brain.

Its so hard to get myself motivated. Why?

Happiness

I wonder how to make ourselves happy? Others make me smile, if only for a while.

One friend said money. Put all your energies to making money. more money for yourself. at least you'll feel satisfied looking at the pay check. Buy yourself some things you like, buy yourself some temporary happiness.

Someone else told me to be optimistic. Life is full of opportunities, and you're a lucky girl. Tell yourself you're very lucky. You'll feel better.. The grass always seem greener on the other side.

Another way? To surround yourself with happy people? That's dead depressing cos you'd be faking a smile and a laugh and others will be able to feel it.

Why do all good things come to an end?

Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
why do all good things come to an end?
flames to dust
lovers to dust
why do all good things come to an end?
come to an end..

Which path to take now?

Fabric 21/09/07

Fabric at Farringdon. I've only been there twice before that night. Both times it was packed full, and the queue to get into the club was ridiculous. The longest queue was 2 hours. This time, we waited 1.5 hours before getting into the club, hanging up our coats and buying our drinks. The place was full... I wonder why they don't limit entry. Honestly, it was so full that you can't get lost. Or you can't find each other. No telephone network available underground, and too dark, too full to navigate your way around..

This was taken in the queue. 1.5 hours. we bought supper and beer to wait. sandwiches, pies, and beers. took lots of pictures and anticipating the crowd inside..



We bought drinks first. Drinks were reasonably priced as in all clubs if you call £3 or £2.50 reasonable for a pint.



Here i probably resemble a zombie already. From left, Vincent, Lucy, Lien, Me, Amanda, and Vincent's cousin.

Taking a break from dancing: our group.



There were 3 dance floors at Fabric which is common for most clubs, with different music. I admit the DJ and the live band great, but that night i was so tired. I didn't dance much compared to the others.



But i did get pulled on stage with a few others here:



But, i fell off the stage or i danced myself off the stage. I was too tired and embarrassed to go up again anyway.



This is Lucy and Amanda..two chinese girls and vincent's cuz. no idea who the girl in front is. didn't even notice her that night. used to people dressed like this in clubs anyway..

Kuching and London are world's apart and i hate myself for not adjusting myself yet. i cant seem to let go yet, or maybe its because i haven't let go cos of you..
