earthquake in china...

As most of you will know, on May 12th 2008 - China had a huge earthquake 7.8 scale. Usually typically - I am pretty numb. Like yes.. these things happens... i will donate some money.
But this time around, maybe because I am in Hong Kong - all the attention is drift to the earthquake. I did my share - everytime someone asks me to donate.. I will be like.. sure.. and i will throw in a 100..

But I want to write this blog regarding how proud I am as a chinese, especially a Hong'er... lol.. in a small piece of land of 7 million population had raised a 0.9billion dollars. Now, that is a lot of money. Also the ones who can't donate as much, they went to volunteer. I saw on TV around 8am that they are asking people to help on the street to ask people to donate money. So I called around 10am, and ALL THE SPOTS WERE TAKEN! I was so shocked. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT? On the the streets, old grandmas, little kids, moms, dads, teenagers - had all gather to volunteer in different ways. Little kids in school (including my 13 year old cousin who's in high school) had donate money, draw cards for the victims. When I went shopping today, a lot of stores by that I mean at least 30% of the stores in the mall - had said they will donate all the profits for the day to the cause.

As we know, during Hurricane Katrina - it took President Bush 4 days to arrive in Lousiana. But it took the Primse Minster 90 minutes to start heading toward the earthquake zone. He arrived in less than 5 hours. He stayed there for 88 hours. Encouraging people, telling kids that he will find them food. I SWEAR he has tears coming out from his eyes when he was talking to this 4 year old girl. 88 hours later, he left and the President took over. By the end of the 3 days he was there, I SWEAR he aged like 20 years. The President and the PM had switched duties. They took turns being there and turns hosting emergency meetings.

One of the HK TV station was asking the PM for an interview. The bodyguards were protecting the PM. But the PM found out that the reporter was from HK. He was like... I do have something to say to the people in HK.

When I was watching the news, everytime the resue team had found someone - they will be cheering and all encourage and pumped again and go resue people.

This is the time I can proudly say I am happy to be a Chinese.

SOO.. today.. i was shopping in a mall... and i was staring into the space (waiting for my friend)
and suddenly... i felt someone tapping my shoulder... and then i looked up!!!
it was STANLEY... you people all know who he is...
i was like.. what the crap.. like why are you here?
we started talking...
and guess what?
stanley is going to my school for MBA next year....

due to the fact that i am completely clueless about what to do for mother's day.. i decided i am going to make my whole entire family (mom's side) a nice dinner...
dinner consists of...
marsh potatoe
roast beef
blueberry cheesecake..
sounds good eh?
i think so too!!

but baking goods are soo expensive here... its like 30 dollars hkd a pack of cookies mix... which is almost around 4 cdn dollars.. insane eh?

that's pretty much it...

tomorrow.. i am off to the real china land to play golf and celebrate mother's day with my dad's side... lol...

GOLF and LILIAN...

by the way.. i am really piss about something...

so i was waiting to get on the bus... and i was the first in line... and this old grandma butted me! SHE FRIGGEN SAW ME THERE TOO!!!
even though
there's no one on the bus..
even though she's an old grandma...
but doesn't mean she takes away my standing as the first person in place.. but i am soo maddd..

so to continue my funny story from before...

the banker called me... and i am going out for coffee with him...
and
i went shopping with kitty for 6 hours... KILL ME...
and
i am going out dinner with jason, kitty and kurt on monday.. =)

I AM HERE

well.. its pretty good since i arrived... i been seeing a lot of family and stuff...
but i have to share my funny story everrrr...
so this is what happened...
i was at a bank... and i wanted to set up a new investment banking account... so this guy called "seth" came to help me out.. he was a very chill guy.. and we were joking and stuff...
but then the whole time.. there was this creepy guy walking by staring at me.. but the creepy guy looked familiar. REALLY familiar.
so i was kinda sitting there staring at him while he was staring at me. (btw.. creepy guy works at the bank)
finally Seth walked me out.. and walked me to a counter so i can deposit my monnneeyy from canada into my account here.
at that time, the creepy guy came up to me and was like... YOU LOOK REALLY FAMILIAR. i dont know why. so i replied.. "you do too." we started talking and trying to figure out how we know each other.
and then Seth came by and was like.. oo. Lilian here is also from Toronto.
the creepy guy was like... OH MY GOSH.. you are lilian... thats why..
at that time.. Lilian was like seriously this =_=" i dont know you...
creepy guy: we met at docks last summer.. i was trying to to get your number.. and then you gave me your fake number!! YOU ARE ALBERT'S FRIEND!
Lilian: =_=" (thinking to herself... out of all places in this world... a bank in hong kong is the last place she imagine to be seeing a guy she rejected)
creepy guy: hey.. seriously now.. give me your real number.
Lilian: uhh.. okayyy...

SO thats what happened in the first 24 hours that Lilian is in HK...

OKAY... hong kong is tomorrow

Jason and I will be on a plane torturing each other tomorrow for around 16 hours...
It's not that bad because I do live with that guy...
But Hong Kong... a strange but familiar city.. I PROMISE YOU ALL! that i will update at least once a week.. just to prove i am not dead... alrighttt?
