Heh, I found this very amusing... four friends in HK decided to get together and create a boy band to go undercover for their documentary, The Heavenly Kings. Brilliant! Apart from the HK media trying to boycott their band, Alive. Well, I have to say, fair deuce to the guys, and they did not do too badly out of it either. All still continuing on with their careers and making their bucks. Well, I did not like them as actors (never heard them sing), but I sure would love to see the film and see what it is like. If it is anything like Spinal Tap taking the mickey out of the industry, I'd say it would be good.
Came across this blog commenting that I am racist?!?!?!?
In their own words:
"This is specially for IBCs (Irish Born Chinese) to post articles with regards to IBC's life in Ireland and comment on articles posted."
Only Irish-born Chinese? Isn't that a tad racist?
Hmm, did that person did not bother read the blurb I have above of my page? I have expressed that I welcome all, even in the forum. So much for me wanting to know other Irish born Chinese of my generation. Of course, I wouldn't forget about other overseas born Chiinese and non-overseas born Chinese.
Sorry folks, problem with the scanner (Canoscan N124OU), doesn't seem to be picked up by the pc, even though I removed the driver and re-installed it. Plugging it into all USB ports, but Windoze does not want to pick it up. This sucks. Well, I will keep trying and see... prob end up getting another scanner, and toss this out the winder (figuratively speaking that is).
Saw this article in the Examiner. Shanghai, twinned with Cork, will be sending a group of second level students to Cork to study English later this year.
You know, everyday has its little insults. But today's one was one heck of a whopper one. Was walking down Aungier St, coming onto Geroge's St. This Irish lady came up to me and asked if I knew anyone in cleaning?!? I was a bit puzzled, then she asked "Do you clean houses yourself?". Well, I was so insulted by that remark, I nearly slapped her for mentioning it. I told her as nice as I can that I work in software engineering, and it was her turn to look puzzled. I added 'IT' at the end, and she apolagised, and I stormed off without hearing anymore of her crap. The ignorance of some people, just because I am Asian looking, does not mean that I "clean houses". The nerve for someone to walk up to a stranger and say something like that. I have to say, it would not be as annoying calling me.. say chink to my face. But assuming what she thought by just how I look! Really! The amount of obscene cursing coming out of me walking up Geroge's St., through Temple Bar, across Millenium Bridge...right upto the Luas stop on Jervis. I have calmed down somewhat, but the saying "Ignorance is bliss" is pretty hard this time. If I stayed there with that woman, I would have seriously gave her a good walloping. But I do not want to be causing harm to any other human beings do I? Seriously, this was the hardest to walk away from, and I hope she does not continue to ask that racist, seeminlgy harmless enquiry.
