New Year's Eve...

I spent it working at work. I didn't get everything done, but I tried my hardest. I was behind because of the higher up person. I'm about a day or half a day behind. So I had to file and then I sorted out the staples drawer. It was just really annoying because it was messy. I fixed that and did some filing and thought I had everything before I left, but when I checked I had a little something. Oh well.

I arrived home and then had a little time to unwind and then it was time to hit the mall. I spent time at Stonestown and only ended up buying stuff animals. I spent at least $67.00 on them. Don't ask me how I did that, but I just thought why not get a set. That was already $42.00. Then I bought a little set of Winnie the Pooh that were soft. I also got them for the little girls. I know I spoil my little cousins a little bit.

Then at Target I bought about $39.00 worth of stuff. Some Milano cookies, a box of cereal, a coupon file, granola bars, and DVDs. I spend most of the time holding that around the mall. My arms were sore by the time I left. I got home to have a little dinner and then some donuts. I then just knitted and knitted more. That's what I'm planning on doing until next year. Exciting aren't I?

Where's my head?

It was one of those days where it was what was I doing before I started this? Then it was what did I start and how much did I get done? Then it was let's just slack off because we can. I know I had a lot of filing to do. I mean I left yesterday and I saw filing, but then today when I took the filing to be filed, it didn't get done. Only some of it did. If the boss was there then I'd work. I mean I only have one more day of goofing off after that it's time to get serious and to prove that I belong there. Lucky the boss is in and out of the office.

I find that I've been waking up later and that I've had to drink my daily cup of milk tea at work. Without that I think I'm worse off. It's an addiction and that it should be stopped, but I can't. Sometimes it's two cups a day with one in the morning and the second during lunch. Work time was spent doing anything but what I was suppose to. I cleaned and emptied a desk drawer so it could be used. I mean when would I do that? I'd do that only if I really had nothing to do. I just avoided my own work for as long as possible.

Tomorrow is only three hours of work and then I can go shopping!

I'm so tired!

Today I thought it would be an easy day. I was wrong on everything. My day at work didn't end until about 7.30 p.m. That just wasn't fair! I mean I'm glad I get overtime pay, but in reality it wasn't that great. What happen was one of the accountants screwed up and blamed it on the lower person. I mean how wrong is that? She said that it was her fault and that she should have checked it before it was sent out. First of all, it wasn't her fault that it was wrong. She asked before asking if statements could be printed out and when she got the OK she printed them out.

This all happened when an owner said that something wasn't right. Then we had to recheck all the properties. How insane was that? Then we had to mail them all out again saying sorry, but it wasn't our fault. It made me not work on other things that had to be done. I was stuck helping out when I had other things to do.

By the end of the night I lost my pen again. I already lost it last week and then it was found up front. I wonder why this pen would be so popular? I think maybe because I had a pillow for it. That's what it's called. A pencil pillow. Of course, I use it for a pen and I'm used to it I guess.

I am wiped out, but I still could knit.

Salary?

I spoke with the office manager today about maybe becoming a full time member of the office. Sure I'm there 40 hours a week. I just don't have benefits and also a key to the office. I told my office manager what I thought I could make and of course there's no way I would make that much. I also asked about benefits on who we have and if we could keep who we had. She wasn't sure. If I do end up working there I'm guessing I'd still make the least in the office.

I started to knit and then when I realized I made a mistake it had to be taken apart. I started all over again. How depressing is that? I also realized it stressed out my shoulder a lot. I did make progress and didn't have any real mistakes. I did catch one of them while working on a stitch? Well more progress to be made tomorrow.

Boring day...

Everyone didn't want to be at work. When it was about 3 something I honestly thought that it could have been later. Hardly anyone was in the office and those that were in the office were stir crazy including myself. If I didn't have to make or create projects of my own I could just sit and knit.

Then I found out that I have some type of yarn to knit with and so I'll become a "knitwit". I know a bad pun, but none the less it has to be said. So I started and restarted on the same amount of yarn. I know it's going to take me a while before I even get anywhere, but maybe I can bring it to work to work on. After all, what is there for me to really do?

Happy Boxing Day!

Last night before I went to sleep I noticed something about the sky. It looked light as if the sun was about to come up. It wasn't possible at about 11.30 p.m. at night, but that's what it looked like. Not like bright sky, but light and not black.

For the first time in a while I'm using the speakers on my computer. OK well not exactly, but I mean I'm listening to MP3s. I haven't done that in such a long time. More Fruits Basket!

Miracles Happen - Myra

Miracles happen, miracles happen
You showed me faith is not blind
I don't need wings to help me fly
Miracles happen, miracles happen

I can't imagine living my life without you now
Not ever having you around
We found our way out
(On you I can depend)
Don't have to look back to realize how far we've come
There are a million reasons
I'm lookin up
I don't want this to end

Nothin'
Nothin' should ever bring you down
Knowing what goes around will come around

You showed me faith is not blind
I don't need wings to help me fly
Miracles happen, once in a while
When you believe
(Miracles happen)
You showed me dreams come to light
That takin' a chance on us was right
All things will come with a little time
When you believe

There is no question we found the missing pieces
Our picture is complete
It's fallen into place
(It's fallen into place)
This is our moment, you and I are looking up
Someone is watching over us
Keeping me close
Closer to you everyday

Nowhere
Nowhere on earth I'd rather be
No one can take this away from you and me

You showed me faith is not blind
I don't need wings to help me fly
Miracles happen, once in a while
When you believe
(Miracles happen)
You showed me dreams come to light
That takin' a chace on us was right
All things will come with a little time
When you believe

When you believe
The soul is a shining light
When you believe
The heart has the will to fight
You can do anything, don't be afraid
We're gonna find our way

You showed me faith is not blind
I don't need wings to help me fly
Miracles happen, once in a while
When you believe
(Miracles happen)
You showed me dreams come to light
That takin' a chance on us was right
All things will come with a little time

Merry Christmas!

The ironic part was that I got a box of See's candy for Christmas. At least I didn't open it! Lord knows I've seen enough boxes of chocolate leading to Christmas at work. Also I received a gift card from the Gap when I already have one and don't even really use it. My brother was even funnier. He wanted to sell it to someone in front of the store itself for one dollar less that the actual card. He did try to sell it to our mother and said he's deliver it to her anywhere in the house for free.

I can't wait until next year when the spring starts. Baseball here I come!

Christmas Eve...

I had to go to work. I really didn't want to get out of bed. Yesterday was bad enough when I woke up late and forgot my phone at work. I couldn't wait for work to end. There seemed like there was nothing for me to do at work. I mean I could have made folders, but I just didn't feel like it. It was one of those I hate being at work and wished I was somewhere else.

When work ended I gave everyone who I remembered a little something. I mean at least when they get to work on Monday they'll see it. I know it's totally last minute, but what could I do? I wanted to place it on their desk instead of handing it out. Sounds silly, but so true.

I went to lunch at a grill like place and ate and ate. I was stuffed and I really couldn't eat dinner that night. I did have a few snacks, but that was it. We walked around Clement and didn't buy anything. OK so I bought a Charleston Chew and a bag of chips. I got a box of candy canes for free. Pretty sweet if you ask me.

There's work tomorrow...

And no one wants to go. It was crazy at work. The copy machine decided to go crazy on everyone. We had to use both copiers to get out the statements. I moved so much stuff that I was tired. I had on reindeer ears too. Ok not ears, but antlers.

As I left work I forgot that I had on the antlers and since I was wearing a red hoodie someone called me "Rudolph". That's a first for me. The whole reason why I work the antlers was to be the "animal" of the office. Someone has to be one since the boss is gone.

On the bus!

That's where I was this morning. No big deal. I just felt out of place. Then I arrived at work as the same time as if I had received a ride. I was the first one in the office. I did finally finish up on the stuff that I was working on yesterday, but the office manager asked me if I had made copies. She said that she would take everything out for me to copy. She didn't and then she told me to put it on her desk. I didn't.

A little more shopping after work today, but nothing major. I was sort of dared to wear antlers at work and I will tomorrow. I'll just think of it as the nice way of saying I'm in the holiday spirit and to look silly. That's me causing problems at work. =)

6 hours of shopping...

I went to work today thinking it was any other normal day. I had no idea what to expect.

I start on this grueling process of checking out all the rental files making sure that we don't have ones in the cabinet that we need. I started and the cabinets are not as full which is a good thing. The bad thing is that I used three to four boxes for that stuff. Man.

After work I walked on Clement with a friend. We spent maybe and hour there and then another 5 at Stonestown. It took so long to find parking we almost gave up. Then we spent a ton of time at the mall jumping from store to store. We were in Macy's alone for at least an hour and a half just searching for items to buy. Macy's was the place to shop. Good and nice items for cheap. OK cheap isn't the best word, but they were nice items. Some items looked like they went fast because of the price.

I did go to the Giants Dugout to check to see when tickets were to go on sale. Not until Febuary. I can't wait! GO GIANTS!

Horoscope: So every day isn't a total thrill ride. Did you expect it to be? Enjoy this lull.

Bad news...

OK the bad news is that Dustan Mohr isn't with the Giants anymore. He made the game worth watching. It's not like I'm going to stop watching the team, but he was such a gamer. He always made sure his uniform was dirty. I'm glad my friend is going to England. I wish I could go back with her just to show her around.

There's no way I'm going to be able to head to England for a long time. I know I'm not going to be able to head over to Hong Kong anytime soon either. It's slow now for me at work, but sometimes I don't know how I end up so busy. I make myself busy. I'm crazy.

On the plus side there's only 167 days I think until April 5th. GO GIANTS!

Fire engine!

Stop waking me up! I know you have a job to do, but I'd prefer to sleep. The crazy part about yesterday was that I forgot to turn off the alarm. My stereo woke me up at my usual wake up time. Back to today after that little digression. The fire truck woke me up. The honking of the horn did it.

I ended up watching Shawshank Redemption again. Then I made cheese cake. I know it's been a while since I made it, but I just improvised on the ingredients like sugar and vanilla. Then I just decided to sit in my room and watch videos. Wait Monopoly was played too. I lost big time. Not a great day to play it.

I need a massage!

I really do. I've been good about doing the stretching because I don't want the massage to be in vain. I do shoulder rolls to make my shoulder looser. I have made up my mind to get a massage. I need one badly and a taste of it for 15 minutes hooked me in. All I did today was clean up my room and kill a spider and three ants. How horrible is that when you see a spider on the carpet that you know you brought into the house?

I also did a little filing of my own. What really needed my attention was my room. I had to vacuum and even clean the ionic breeze. I also fixed all the magazines in my room. All the ones that piled up in the past couple of months. My room is now a little bit tidier and cleaner. It only took me two weeks from the time I got back and has time. Not bad and a record I'd have to say. My room was messy after I left for Hong Kong. Pictures aren't up, but I hope to have them up this coming weekend. Too bad I have to work on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.

Massage!

OMG! I almost didn't go to work today. If I didn't I would have missed out. The massage was the best. I loved it. The 15 minutes went by to fast. I wish I could have a longer massage. I knew that I had a lot of stress in my shoulders. I think it's from all that time in front of a computer. I didn't even use the computer that much in Hong Kong.

We finally decided what to get the boss. We're going to get him and his wife a massage. That's really nice. Then Sharon and I will get one of our own. Well, I couldn't resist. It really was too good to pass up. I can't wait. I was better after the massage, but then realized why I'm so tense in the shoulders. Computers and how I do work. It's insane. The filing wasn't done or touched at all. I mean I just fixed the folders on the shelf a little and mostly just made folders. Next week is another story and I will be busy.

I'm actually tired and will head to bed early. Oh what a day.

What are the odds?!?!

OK so I go and buy the present for my secret santa and I'm back in the office. Later he comes by with a box of See's candy. OK here's where the crazy part comes in. I got him a box or tin for his present. Work was crazy like usual and I'm having the hardest time working on the folders. I'm tired of working on them. I can't get anything done. Work is just horrible. I'm never going to get anything done. Then I got changed for dinner and didn't even get the chance to write a card. Lord it was horrible.

Dinner was ok. Honestly, I haven't had this strange food or something. The curry dish I didn't try and the rest of the food was ok. I didn't even try the salmon because it was semi-cooked. I ended up eating the "choy" and some of the meat dishes. The food wasn't bad, but the fried rice was good. The crazy thing was the four Chinese people didn't get much rice to eat. So the presents were exchanged and Tanya was stupid. She made some look like they got many and a lot of gifts and others had nothing.

Here's what happened at the gift exchange and who got what. Marie got a locator thing because she's always losing her house key and her phone. Big Bill got a santa. Tnaya got some bath stuff. Big Sharon got chocolate that was Godiva. Little Sharon got a gift card and some bath stuff. Wayne got a tie and a shirt. I got a Starbucks gift card. You know who it's from when they mention it in the office. Jessica got a gift card. Nicole got bath stuff. Rip got candy. Arron got a fogless mirror. Karen got a picture frame and chocolate. Priti I don't know and Landa I don't know and Angelique I don't know. Pretty much the people on the other table I have no clue.

OK back to the fact that I got Rip and he got me. What are the freaking odds and that the same thign would be exchanged in the day? I know everyone got a good laugh (the Asian gang) but really it's not fair! I dont drink coffee that often, but you know it's all good. Landa got Gap because it's a dead give away. Little Sharon thought it was funny when both Rip and I didn't have a gift and then we got it at the same time. I was just totally avoiding the unavoidable.

Really I don't know about the future of me. I might stay where I am now, but not sure. I should really talk to the boss about it. If I get benefits I will consider staying, but since I'm not I could just leave. The boss will be out of the office until January.

Folding paper is my thing and I made an envelope type card. Oh well. I even wrote with my left hand to throw the person off. I don't think it really worked. And that's my day. Everyone got a good laugh at me. Thanks people.

I'm going back to school...

I just realized that when I signed up for Chinese class. I realized that I had to improve myself. Today at work the person asked if I could speak with one of our owners. I couldn't do it. I was like hold on a minute. I really need to learn how speak it. Not only that but how to read as well. This is one thing that I'll be motivated to do. There was also a letter from one of the tenants and I had no idea what they wrote. I would really have to find someone who could read it.

There is one person in the office that can read and speak Chinese, but the rest of us can speak it but can't read or write it. Sad isn't it?

No lunch for me...

I went to work like usual thinking what's in store for me? I have to file like usual because there's always something there for me. Then I had to work on other items through out the day. Relabeling the files once again because we found out it was not a street or a road, but a court. If we chose lane, drive, circle, or avenue I believe that would cover everything. I started to try to make the new folders for next year, but I still haven't done them yet. It's making me crazy how I have so much to do, but there's just not enough time.

Finding files that are missing and also filing stuff. I was so busy I didn't even really take a lunch. I also hurt myself at work again. No big deal at least they're not close together, but a couple of days apart. I was full from a donut like thing that I ate. I was stuffed. I still haven't bought my present yet. I thought about it after I got off work, but then my ride was at Walgreens and that meant I'm screwed.

I guess I'll just get a box of chocolates. I'm too lazy to wrap a present and I guess I could. I guess I could put some effort into wrapping it up. I guess I could also have bought it on Monday, but I didn't. I'm just a lazy lazy person. Tomorrow is the dinner and the "secret" santa thing. It's lame.

Tuesday...

I can't believe that in a couple of days it will be the company dinner. I still haven't bought my present yet for the person who I picked. Why you may ask? I was going to get it today, but in the end I failed. Why you might still ask? I was being followed and so I couldn't buy it and let them know could I?

Today at work it went by so fast. I also was able to see the boss's father. He was in the office today. I almost ran into him twice. Not a very good sign if you ask me. I did most of the filing which wasn't much. I started to make the new folders and I just had to stop because my arm was dying. I also needed to order some stuff for the office as well.

Tomorrow the plan is to buy the Christmas gift and then to wrap it as well. It's so bad they're not even that organized. No brown bags provided and or no one said what you had to do. Strange and very disorganized. I'm really organized, but sometimes you just have to wonder. I can't wait for the weekend. I do wonder who picked me. Actually, I don't care.

Oo, I killed a fly today. I killed a baby spider today and on Monday or was it Sunday? I'm getting forgetful. Yikes. I'm also thinking about going back to school. Now I just have to apply. Am I insane?

Monday...

The weekend flew by so fast. I didn't even think it was possible for it to be Monday. Yet, here it is. I was tired at work today. I was so busy I couldn't help anyone out. I was happy that I got a bonus, but then I worked so hard and so I think I deserve it.

I was at work and I decided to find out what the jurors for Scott Peterson would vote on. I had turned to abc7news.com to find out the latest. They had streaming audio which was good, but I didn't find out the verdict that way. I only went back to the site to find out that he was sentenced to death, but that he had no emotion on his face. I kind of figured that he'd get death.

After everything that I had to do at work, I still managed to not finish everything. I mean I sort of had a list, but I didn't really complete it. Tomorrow is another day and I think I'll go to sleep early tonight. Scary isn't it when you think your bed time is before 12.00 a.m.

Manic Monday -The Bangles

Six o'clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino
By a crystal blue Italian stream
But I can't be late
'Cause then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days
When you wish your bed was already made

It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
My I don't have to runday
It's just another manic Monday

Have to catch an early train
Got to be to work by nine
And if I had an air-o-plane
I still couldn't make it on time
'Cause it takes me so long
Just to figure out what I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train
But the boss is already there

Because You Live - Jesse McCartney

Staring out at the rain with a heavy heart
It's the end of the world in my mind
Then your voice pulls me back like a wake up call
I've been looking for the answer
Somewhere
I couldn't see that it was right there
But now I know what I didn't know

Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky

It's alright, I survived, I'm alive again
Cuz of you, made it though every storm
What is life, what's the use if you're killing time
I'm so glad I found an angel
Someone
Who was there when all my hopes fell
I wanna fly, looking in your eyes

Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live, I live

Because you live there's a reason why
I carry on when I lose the fight
I want to give what you've given me always

Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky

Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has everything I need to survive

Because you live, I live, I live

Today's SUNDAY?!?

I woke up this morning and thought it must be Saturday! OK I was really off and then when I realized it was Sunday I thought where did the weekend go? I stayed up really late and slept roughly 7 hours. Then it hit me I had work again. This crazy cycle isn't great.

I thought about my job being temporary, but now I don't know. I'm too lazy to look for another job and as long as I can stay and do well I'm OK with it. I know that if they lose me it'll be bad. I mean really any company that has be is lucky. I'm really an asset to the company. I think the boss sees my potential and if I had to go back to school I think I'd choose that than work. However, making money is good.

Dinner calls and sleep will too tonight if I wear myself out.

$500 bonus! Whoo hoo!

In the words of Homer Simpson "whoo hoo"! I was shocked when I got this bonus, but then again everyone got the same amount. The only difference is that the tax that they took out was more for the others who made more. I had about $48.00 taken out. This was all before lunch. Dinner and a bonus. I knew there would be a bonus, but I get two in two months?! I'm lucky!

I guess I'm the lucky one in the office, I get two bonuses total. I think I got the most, but I don't know if I deserve it. See now I'm feeling guilty about it. What the hell is wrong with me?

Horoscope: Don't worry about every word that comes out of your mouth. It's not that big a deal.

Dead hand and too much filing!

The title says it all. I started off filing and then I ended up (conned) into hand writing the names on Christmas cards. The filing was crazy. I ended up with more than I could handle. It's just unbelievable on how much work there is to do. I mean there's one of me and so much to do. Why can't the receptionist do the stamping and the mailings. I can't do her job and other things as well.

The strangest thing happened at work today. I got a call from one of the tenants about the blinds not working in the kitchen. I thought is she looking for the right person? I know I was in the front of office for a while (two days), but there's no way they would know my name. Then I told the office manager and she thought that was even stranger.

I wonder if I should go to the company dinner next week. I really haven't decided yet. We picked secret Santa on Wednesday. I was too tired to remember that one. Oops.

Horoscope: Even flowers die eventually. Enjoy things while they last, then let them go.

Early night...

Today at work it was strange. Well it was the middle of the week and I wonder what am I going to do? I ended up doing a few things at once. Work became insane. I don't know how to get through it. I'm angry and not at all pleasant. I don't know maybe because I'm tired. I had no real time adjust. Lunch was green tea tapioca and two kinds of bums. Yummy and nutritious right?

Dinner was great. I had something to eat. Now I'm so tired I've decided to sleep. Good night.

Horoscope: Nothing grows without a little rain. Relax: The sun will come back soon.

Yawn...

Another day at work and this time no one to help me out. I'm the one who's asking questions. Where does this go? Does this have a folder? It's as if I became a newbie again. I mean it's like I've just started to work again. I know sometimes I should know and have better judgment, but sometimes it's hard.

I made folders for a couple of locations. It's just an overall bad system they have there. I totally forgot all of the changes I wanted to make. I should start again. I also do my tennis elbow therapy to try to make it a bit better. The crazy part is that even with the "can't find folder" there's still stuff that goes missing.

Today they also did the whole Kris Kringle thing. I mean who on earth thought of this? And a limit which is good, but it's pretty bad at the same time. I got a guy and I hate buying stuff to be honest. I'm one of those that can't ever make up their mind and isn't good with change.

The whole system needs to be worked out. Now it's time for me to fold up my clothes and then head off to bed.

Horoscope: Your life isn't defined by your possessions. Cut the fat. Keep the good stuff.

Tired!

Wow, I had no idea I'd be so tired at work. I worked and was in pain. The pain from badminton. Go figure. I'm sore and walk like an old lady. There wasn't much to do, but it did help that there was someone else to help out. The temp spend his last day and I was to resume. It was bad when the office manager told the temp they wouldn't be needing him since I was back.

Work was boring and I longed to be back in another country, I totally wished I was still back in Hong Kong. The strangest part was one of the property managers asked me about the economic conditions and I didn't really notice. I mean I answered as best as I could, but there are so many things that I don't know since I don't watch the news. I'm out and about every single day. The only thing that I did watch was HK Live.

Time to do some laundry and hope that I dry it when it's done washing.

Up, up, and away!!

Well, I'm just chilling at the airport using the nice computers provided by Samsung (I know I'm advertising, but you got to love them). I'm using ICQ to ask my cousin something that I might not have packed. Isn't technology great?

Anyway, it's time to get on the place for the flight back to San Francisco. See you all on the other side of the world.

Horoscope: You can't put this off any longer. You know what you have to do. Time to do it.

Badminton!

Boy that game is painful. After playing an hour with about 3 minutes of rest I finally realized how old, out of shape, and sorry I am for even playing. Then I realized that maybe because I haven't played in three years or something. I'd forgotten the rules and how you actually keep score. Really I have!

Then while playing about half an hour or more into it my right hand started to hurt. It was a blister on my middle finger. I do recall something like this happening when I took the class as well. As a result I played with my left hand. Odd part was that my cousin said I played better with my left hand than with my right hand. I'm right handed by the way.

Then after we went home. But before that we went to pick up my Burberry purse. WOW! I can't believe I have a real one! It's the one that's a Blue Label from Japan and also it's extinct. Ok on the verge of extinction. They're stopping with the classic look of the famous checker and the colors. No more. They're going to use dots now. Boy am I one of the lucky ones to get it. Man I bet this dries up the prices for everything on eBay.

Jackie Chan's son...

can sing. I mean really. I saw heard a voice and wondered who it was. Then I look and I see animation. I'm still wonder who it is or if it's for some movie. Then I see his face and go that's Jackie Chan's son Jaycee. He's got talent I'll give him that. He writes his own songs and he does his own music composing. One word. Talent.

OK off to do more shopping. Later!

What a day...

I did get a couple of new things. No short sleeve, but long sleeve shirts. I also got two pairs of pants and I'm happy. A little bit of shopping, but it took a couple of tries in a day. The ones in Central didn't have what I want. Then later we were in Tsim Sha Tsui and I found the pants. Boy did I get lucky.

Tonight I went to a Liza Wang concert. She made it half music and half singing. Actually she didn't even sing that many songs. Her boyfriend even sang a couple of songs and was one of the guests. It was lame. I mean the tribute thing went a little too far. I mean as far as being a consumer I expected more. She sang total 6 songs or something. Not a lot.

The best thing was seeing someone use a bass eru that has a hollow inside put a bag of something inside. It didn't even change the sound (not that I could tell.) I wanted to get a picture of it, but they're so strict. Then when Liza started to sing the guy next to me was acting kind of funny. I found out he was recording the show with a tape recorder. Lord I get asked not to take a picture and this guy can record the concert? WTH? I mean it was just off the instruments and an empty stage. Damn it. I tried to find a flaw with that, but the only thing is that I could pretend not to know Chinese or English. The one thing I could have done was take a picture from outside of the auditorium.
