what's been done and what's ahead

hand vacuum bought and charged!
actually i tested it out in my car in order to drain the pre-charged battery and see if it works.
it worked, but the suction is horrible, still better than dragging out the central vacuum hose and make everything dusty though!

also went to the library yesterday to take out some jewelry making books.
i finally have time during the week to do some studying on some wire bending techniques.
maybe i'll head out to Staples to do some colour copying in a few days, if it's cheaper than buying the actual books.

i've been researching on places to eat and things to do in HK.
there are more than what i've expected to do in hk, and maybe i'll even spend 2 weeks there before heading to Taiwan.
looks like i've picked some local wholesale places and far out green tours so i won't bump into those weird mainlanders.

still haven't really researched on southern Taiwan places yet, but i do have a few places and restaurants in mind.
it's so much cheaper to book hotels and tours with 2+ people. why do people make solo travels so much more expensive and harder?!
i'm seriously thinking of getting an international driver's permit in case i want to drive in the south.

pregnant, gave birth, and the dust clouds

this is interesting...
right after i posted that i couldn't fall asleep, i had a dream.
the part that i remembered was that i was pregnant and gave birth multiple times, each baby had a different father.
there was a kidnapping of 3-4 of those babies, and i rescued them just before the kidnapper had a chance to throw them into a river.
the kids later had a DNA test, finding out whose father is who. and my current rich husband didn't like it so we had this big fight.
cut scene with the same people to my hk's apartment.
the rich husband, his lover, a friend, and this other guy still remain and we kept arguing. later all of them left through the window.
just before my rich husband and his lover left, i sincerely told them that the world is at its end, apparently they did not know about the mayan 2012 thing.
as i was seeing them off, i spotted a distant dust cloud heading towards the city.
dust storm? sand storm?
and then i realized the end of all things has arrived early. it was summer.
then my mum and this other person (let's call him Toto) showed up in the apartment.
we were glad we had some kind of supplies, but Toto forgot to close some windows.
i tried to tape the seams of the windows and close all the windows at the same time, then i found this window that has such big seams that it's no use closing it or taping it.
the ginormous dust clouds sped up and are already in the city. people on the streets were busy preparing for an indoor sit in.
i saw flashes of sceneries all across the world of people preparing for these dust clouds.
then i woke up.

夜夜失眠

需要...睡覺...
然後...一睡不醒...
那就...舒服爆了...

following up on a week-long stingy case

今晚算是做完了一份總譜, 也很絕決地告訴伊朗人沒有進一步的折扣.
我已經用了最便宜的 rate, 還撇去了零碎的 $2.40, 而且沒有算入 rush rate.
對著自己良心來說, 這是我仁至義盡所能做的極限.
Finale file? 付了錢才給你. 沒錢沒 Finale 乃行規啊.

伊朗人真的那麼吝啬嗎?

為甚麼連抄譜都要我打折???
這不是賣貨呢!

should really sleep earlier

dunno if i could categorize the dream last night as a nightmare.
but i'm certain i didn't have a good quality sleep.
my family in reality was in it, lots of it.
but there was no storyline, it's just jumping over all the place, which kind of explains it 'cause i was going in and out of sleep throughout the night.
what i remember was:
1) my dad and i went to line up for some sort of take out, i ended up getting a smoke duck and kept emphasizing "canard canard canard..." 'cause it sounds funny to me.
2) there was a very tragic accident filmed live on tv, which was 4 technicians trying to fix a canadian air force fighter plane on the edge of a river. the wings sudden broke off and all 4 techs died and the camera was able to film them torn apart by the accident in HD detail. in the dream i kept thinking it was a movie, but later was told it was real.
3) we moved into a new house by the river, kind of haunted.
4) my sister was pregnant - later the person turned into my cousin, who in real life is actually pregnant. anyway, in the dream my sister told mum that her pregnancy is not smooth at all this time and it's a big health risk for her.
5) my cousin (the one who's pregnant in real life) entered in a cooking contest and won, her dish was steamed fish, which was really delicious. my aunt & uncle were there too at the show off dinner.
