Ni Hao!!! Last Monday, we went to “Zuoying”– it’s actually a very long street where u can  find lots of stores (it’s like u put a large mall in a street) - imagine, we went shopping on Monday….so as I was saying, I went there with the SOLE purpose of buying a small rice cooker (mmmmmmm, maybe u can say that eating in KFC is also in my hidden agenda)…so luckily we were able to find the right one for us and is really below our budget… But to least of my fortune, I don’t know what circumstances happened or what kind of spirit possessed me that made me buy other things that are way beyond my budget….well, I actually have a theory, I think I absorbed Balyn’s ability to SHOP with the smallest amount of control…hehe (peace bhe!!)….so I bought a memory card reader, a polo by Giordano and to my surprise an EDT – it’s Boss in Motion by Hugo Boss their second limited edition (the first one is the blue one) …..

Boss_2_2Maybe some of you are not aware that I’m very allergic to any kind of smell and I mean “ANY” but particularly PERFUMES….my doctor said it’s allergic rhinitis but I think it’s a little worst than that….so why the hell did I bought that perfume?… mmmm, maybe because I also want to wear perfumes but allergy really kills me and so I have to sacrifice but when I tried to smell this limited edition from Hugo, I didn’t feel any symptoms of it…there are no allergens crawling in my nose….and I really like the smell….. I told myself that maybe this one is the perfume for me…. and so I bought it for 1500 NT$ with a free shower  gel, also from Hugo, which also smells really good and is also a limited edition ( ever wondered what’s with the limited editions?)…anyway, to my disappointment, that night, before I went to bed, I have to search for my nasal spray because I’m already having runny nose (one of the symptoms of my allergy)…..D a r n!!! I was so thwarted, because usually my allergy will take effect a couple of minutes after smelling something but for this case, it took more than two hours for me to start coughing and sneezing…..#@!%&…..But I’ve decided to still use it…..I mean, its like throwing 1500NT$ to trash…so every time I’ll be using it, I’ll just bring my nasal spray with me…

tnx Luis (not really used to calling u like this) for ur comment on my last blog…I’ll be having my vacation this December so I hope we could see each other together with roch and everyone else…as with the treatment, hmmmmm, Taiwanese are very benevolent, thoughtful,  very generous…. Just having some problems right now with our apartment….the HR of Philips is considering the idea of putting a French Guy in our apartment….I mean it’s really ok with us if the apartment can accommodate 5 people with enough space particularly the bedroom… they consider our apartment to be the best among the choices because it really looks good but I think in terms of bedrooms, it’s the least…well just hope their decision will be in favor of us or at least good for everyone else concerned…hehe…^_^ (this is a common Taiwanese smiley)

BIG FISH

Hey!! Ni Hao!!! Just sharing some memorable quotes from my favorite movie – Big Fish … I know, I know…you must be thinking that this guy is so fish-fanatic… I mean I really love fishes but maybe it just so happen that my favorite movie has something to do with scaly-slippery-dicey creatures too… I really miss my Oscar and my three Flower Horns… ooops!!  almost forgot that my 2 Flower horns just died a couple of weeks ago…haven’t moved on yet…Good thing I still have Gao Mei Yi…my Chinese Beta fish here in Taiwan.  Maybe it has something to do with the Ghost Month here…hmmm…Anyway, here are the quotes…enjoy!! And try to get their meanings…

“I was thinking about death and all. About seeing how you’re gonna die. I mean, on one hand, if dying was all you thought about, it could kind of screw you up. But it could kind of help you, couldn’t it? Because you’d know that everything else you can survive.”

“Has it ever occurred to you that maybe you’re not too big? Maybe this place is just too small?”

“You were a big fish in a small pond, but this here is the ocean and you’re drownin’. Take my advice, go back to Puddle Ville, you’ll be happy there.”

“Oh, tough break! Well, most men have to get married before they lose their wives”

“They say, when you meet the love of your life, time stops, and that’s true. What they don’t tell you is that when it starts again, it moves extra fast to catch up.”

“There are some fish that cannot be caught. It’s not that they’re faster or stronger than the other fish. They’re just touched by something extra.”
