2 weeks to go …. Some thoughts

by Raymond

2 more weeks and it will be the Olympics in Beijing. But I don’t feel anything about it. I can’t care any less.

I’m getting more and more sluggish at work. Need to pull myself to complete the June accounts asap.

A distant auntie wants to introduce me to a girl in Shanghai because an uncle apparently told her I am “lonely” in Shanghai.

At what point does the age gap between a guy and a girl becomes too important? Or is there no limit? No, I’m not talking of those gold diggers and old farts relationship, but real emotion/love relationship. And it’s got nothing to do with the point above.

Watched 《The battle of Red Cliff 赤壁》, like it so much that I decided to read 《Three Kingdoms 三国演义》, which is a classic Chinese romantic litterature. A bit disappointed as I discovered the movie is very different from the classic novel. However, the fact remains that as a movie it was great to watch.

Want to watch 《Storm Riders 风云决》 which is already out in the theatres. From the trailer, you would never have thought it not to be a Japanese manga. Looks awesome.

It’s so hot. 35-38C. Need to switch aircon everyday.

Want to buy an electric bicycle. Would cost about 1500rmb (about Rs6,000) for decent one. There is one model about 600rmb (Rs2,400), but might be of poor quality. Fearful of the risk of someone stealing it.

Haven’t played my Wii for ages. Nor watched DVDs for that matter.

The hairdresser that opened a few metres away from my apartment has massage services. Wonder if it is any good. Want to do a back massage. Or a foot massage. But I can’t remember seeing them advertising foot massage service.

Bought a new pair of shoes as the heavy rainfalls that took place in Shanghai last month resulted in my sole pair of leather shoes split open.

I agreed to have a friend staying at my apartment when she told me she wanted to move out from the house she shares with her husband. Later, I started thinking it might be awkward for me in the future if I have “guests” coming. But it was too late to withdraw my offer. I don’t want to reak my promise. Good thing she thought the thing over again and decided to stay with her husband.

Argh, switched the aircon off barely 5mins ago, now feel too hot and need to switch it on again.

Ok, enough pointless ramblings. Goodnight.
