My Olympics posting

Everyone blogged about Olympics so I might as well jump on the bandwagon considering I've been watching a lot of it. I don't really have much to say for Lee Chong Wei except...you did Malaysia proud for bringing home the silver medal and yourself 300k! That's a lot of shoes and clothes or drinking sessions in your case you know! He didn't exactly play the best game but hey....you win some, you lose some. Besides, Lin Da was amazing on the court. I was cheering for Malaysia of course even when I knew that in the end it was just to make noise around the house mumbling, grumbling and screaming every minute. Congratulations to the winners. Just wished US channels would show more badminton.  

Gymnastics was probably one of the sports I watched the most during Olympics. Hurray for both US and China. It was so difficult choosing who to root for when gymnastics come up. It was a good thing I watched most of it at home, otherwise I would have gotten beaten up when I was pleased by the fact that the He Kexin of China won against Luikin of USA even though the method of judging wasn't very fair. Zheng Fei on the other hand didn't do a good job so it was up to the rest of them to cover her ass. Shawn Johnson was amazing. That smile itself deserves gold! So yes, on the whole I cheered for China for gymnastics against USA. It's not where you are, it's who you are. I guess my Asian blood runs deep. Although I did cheer for the 33 year old woman who won silver and I was happy if an American won. I'm not that bias ok!

But like the rest of US, I cheered for Phelps! He was amazing!!!!! Definitely deserves to be the greatest Olympian in my opinion. Go 1000000 for Baltimore and your mama!!!! Just wish he could give me the secret for staying so thin while consuming 10000 calories a day! Oh yeah, maybe it's training and exercise he goes through. Oh well...I can just go on daydreaming what I could gorge in and still stay thin. 

Beach volleyball was so fun to watch. Both US and China were amazing. Congrats Misty May and Kerri Walsh. Team USA deserved to win. Apart from the game, beach volleyball was such an eye candy! In my opinion, the white uniforms USA wore were the nicest even though someone said China had the best. That's Asian fetish for you.   

Wished I had seen the match for Nadel. Congratulations on being No. 1 player in the world! Boo for Federer this time. I was shocked he lost to Blake. Oh....they were having a US Open event at the W Hotel next to my house 2 nights ago. I was watching from the window trying to spot all the hot players. Too bad I got bored and hungry. Otherwise I could have dressed up and gone downstairs to search for a rich 'player'. Maybe next time....


Yes ma I'm still alive

Whoever said living the easy life could be well....easy? I know many people have been complaining about my lack of motivation to work again and staying in New York instead of going home. This has made many people unhappy thinking I'm a selfish, lazy bitch who does nothing but prance around the streets of Manhattan everyday and eat,shop, sleep and spend others money. Sorry to disappoint you people but...I do that in Manhattan and OTHER PLACES too!

Just got back from my second trip to Miami. This time was with Bella and Steve and Jason with his friends. From the morning where we were so late to the airport anyone would be surprised we even boarded, to all the weird energy going on from everyone while we were there, this trip kinda makes me wish I was drunk 24/7.  With all the drama that went on, I'm still contemplating if I had a good time there or not but this was definitely a memorable trip. Being at the beach by myself half the time was a refreshing experience. I've never been the kind who liked going on vacations alone but walking alone really gives you an opportunity to breath in the beauty and not so beautiful things that happen around you. I've come to realize that not moving to Miami was a wise decision for me. Being with Jas the last time opened all doors to fun and spontaneity and just hanging out. This time I walked 50 blocks of road, sand and grit to see a totally different picture. That Miami is a boring place! 

The people there are either cheesy or tourists and the staple food is pizza. The guys are obnoxious as hell and the girls compete to see who wears the shortest dress or laugh the loudest. I had a couple funny experiences with guys there. Bella and I were walking on the street when a man wheeling a baby stroller with his wife standing next to him dropped his jaw just like in the movies when he saw us. A classic. I had guys come up to me when I'm surrounded by my guy friends and bluntly ask me in front of them if anyone of them were my boyfriends. Err...Wtf?? What happen to days when all you tried to do was catch the girls eye from 10 feet away and hoping she will give you a sign if she is into you? And these are strangers on the street too! I didn't know to be insulted or laugh in their faces. I can imagine what kind of trouble that smart ass will get into if he was in KL. As for the girls, a friend told me that if you talk to a hot girl and she actually has some substance, she must be new to Miami because all the hot girls are corrupted to fit into the same social clique. Glad I didn't move...I'm already bimbo as it is, can't imagine what Miami would do to me =P (opps...did I just pay myself a compliment unconsciously?) 

Negative things aside, I did manage to meet some funny people and hung out with good friends.Staying up till 8am to watch the sunrise and get into trouble with a couple French kids never fails to make my day. At least I will have a place to stay when I visit Paris! Bonjour people! Look out! Lets make the boys cry and the girls puke! And now...some pictures from the trip...

By the end of the trip which lasted 10 days and in my opinion a little too much for me, I was more than happy to pack my bags and head back to continue my vacation in New York =)
