10 INCHES!

I have never felt the importance of 10 inches in my life before!

Since I am a sneaker freak (especially Jordans), I have designed a storage unit just for my sneakers. As I have just mentioned, I am a sneaker freak, so I don't collect sneakers only, I also collect the boxes that store my sneakers, the largest one, which are the new 'Lebron James' series are 10 inches wide each. Therefore, I have asked the carpenter to tailor make the storage unit with exactly 10 inches wide. All seems great until......

Today, the actual storage unit has arrived, as I eagerly and excitingly look at my design, this is what i found: when you ask a carpenter to make things, you MUST tell him whether the inches are the inner size or the outter size.

In my case, I want the inner size to be 10 inches wide and the carpenter THOUGHT that 10 inches are the outter size. As a result, I HAVE A SNEAKER STORAGE UNIT THAT CAN NOT STORE SNEAKERS! ..........:-O

TILL

The time is 5:24a.m., usually this is the time I go to bed during holidays but yesterday I wake up at 5:24. The reason is I, as the son of the family, has to go back to my hometown to pay a visit to my deceased grandparents, great grandparents and great great grandparents. Therefore, I went with my old man. After almost a day of 'adventure', I discovered a funny fact. The fact that there is a frequent, unavoidable, essential use of 'til'but not as 'unTIL the day I die' . Here are some examples:
''til' I am hungry now..'
''til' What time is it?'
''til' It is hot today...'
''til' Is this your son?'
''til' this roast chicken is quite delicious...'
What I posted here are just some of the examples, 'till' can also be used as a noun, verb, an adjective and many more, AMAZING!

However, for those of you who don't know what is 'till', I am sorry..........you can ignore this artical and come back tomorrow :-)

O

Got to get out! So, I went to one of my favourite dinners 'O' in Central. Got myself a big breakfast, lunch, tea..whatever. It's my paradise.

JARHEAD

After months of waiting, finally get to see 'JARHEAD'. To me, this movie is about dreams, expectations and reality, in a very masculine way of course. Jake's performance was great and it was so thrilling to hear Kanye West's 'Jesus Walks' at the end of the film.

By the way, sis is on her way to London today, BE SAFE and don't try anything DANGEROUS!

I am in PRISON

The time was 11:30 a.m., today was the first day of my 9 days Easter Holiday, I haven't got any plans yet but I know I will figure it out. So, I opened the door of my temporary bedroom and...this is what I saw... A SWEATY BELLY BUTTON! Yes, A SWEATY BELLY BUTTON! How scary is that! That is the belly button of the 'electric worker' who helps us with the electricity. He was standing right in front of my bedroom working on the electrical wires. So, I closed the door, sat down and this is what I did on the first day of my Easter holiday, listened to my iPod and play video games.....................

Lights up!

These are the lights to be use in my room.

Groovisions

Since renovation starts on Saturday morning and Mr. Heavy Bomber had shut the door to my room with the keys inside, I had some time off and went to the Groovisions exhibition at the Arts Centre. Not as fantanstic as i thought but it is still worth going, had a surprise though, the Comix exibition downstairs was great!

Mr. Heavy Bomber

Mr. Heavy Bomber: Hey, Mr. Poon, it is going to be verrrry dusty when i tear the walls down!
Father: Why don't you help me to close the door?
Mr. Heavy Bomber: Sure! Here you go!
Me: Hey, Dad, Where is the key to this room?
Father: It's in the room.
Me: Which room?
Father: The one which Mr.Heavy Bomber just shut...................... the door..........
Me:...............................................................
Father:........................................................
Mr. Heavy Bomber: Bomb! Bomb! Bomb!
(By the way, Mr. Heavy Bomber is the worker who helps us to tear the walls down.)
