Youth

I never had any idea that at 22, I would be in NYC. I spent a large part of my week in Calgary on a free trip. Anything free is good, even though I did end up with nose bleed, sore throat and some odd stomach illness. Darn the dry air and maybe the sushi.

I was humming this tune on a road trip to the mountains. I couldn't remember the words but after intensive googling, here they are.

I feel old at 22. I remembered singing this when I was in Primary 6 and feeling old then. I'll probably sing it at 40 and tsk tsk myself for feeling old at 22.

Age hasn't brought me wisdom or new insights... just greater responsibilities, fears and weariness.


年少时候谁没有梦

年少时候谁没有梦
无意之中你将心愿透露
就在你生日的时候我将小小口琴送
最难忘记你的笑容

友情的细水慢慢流流进了你我的心中
曾在球场边为你欢呼你跌伤我背负
夜里流星飞渡想象着他日的路途
晚风听着我们壮志无数

年少时候谁没有愁
满腔愤慨唯有你能听得懂
每当我失意的时候你将那首歌吹奏
琴声悠悠解我情愁

岁月的细水慢慢流流到了别离的时候
轻拍你的肩听我说朋友不要太惆怅
霓虹纵然再嚣张我们的步履有方向
成败不论切莫将昔日遗忘

多年以后又再相逢
我们都有了疲倦的笑容
问一声我的朋友何时再为我吹奏
是否依旧，是否依旧

Overestimating

People, especially men, think too highly of themselves.

It's funny at times.

Best Advice

At the 65:30 minute:

All young ladies should hear this, Syl said: It took me a long time but I finally figured this out. When it comes to men who are romantically interested in you, it is really simple. Just ignore everything they say and only pay attention to what they do.

Oh, and it is a great video on Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams.

Masquerade

I think I am an extrovert masquerading as an introvert.

Uncontrollable Impulses

My life is typically controlled by my impulses.

Boredom and laziness the key driving factors in my life. They motivate me to do or not do things.

Strip Club 101

I was high on wine. Bored with life. So I went to a strip club.

It is amazing that I took so long before I stumbled upon someone who was willing to bring me to a strip club. I shall remember all you evil people who went without me!! Apparently everyone has been to a strip club except me. *bleah*

It is not as freaky as I thought it would be. Pretty entertaining. Not as pricey as I thought it would be ($10). The ones in Toronto had FREE entrance though.

But the drinks are pricey ($10 for water??).

But $20ish for a few hours of entertainment.. it's not that bad. The girls are pretty. Some are fat. The plus size dancers are usually A LOT more aggressive. There are female customers, but mainly males. The guys look hilarious and desperate. Haha, I counted the number times they went for the lap dances... Hilarious.

Lap dances: $15 - $20
Tipping strippers (stick $ into their undies): $1

They earn pathetically little.

Oh, and the girl who wanted to do a dance for me smelt particularly good. Darn, why don't I smell like that.
