IF IT'S BITTER AT THE START...
Some things that made me laugh so hard - absolutely madness:
1. There was this line outside TST (Canton Rd) Louis Vuitton store. Isn't that ridiculous? A line outside the store, on the pavement?! And people are actually lining up for LV products?
It's not like I can afford LV anyways. But if I were that filthy rich - c'mon you charge me 1 grand for a bag and I need to line up out in the heat in order to get inside your store? No way.
But people do line up outside the store anyways. They're really young people too. I guess rich people like being mistreated. And oh, I think their whole campaign in attracting younger customers really worked.
2. I need to introduce you to this new brand. It's too exciting. I mean, I know it's going to be phenomenal - it's a big name in Hong Kong, it's popular, it appeals to the young and the old - and finally it's releasing a new line of product! If you see any hand bags with the golden letters "HLS" - Still don't get it? Don't know what HLS stands for? It's 'Hui Lau San', ladies and gentleman. The shop that sells sweet soup and drinks. I saw their poster flyers for their HLS series of handbags - I'm not sure if they're giving them away for free for every purchase of a 'mango coconut milk west' (they've always been creative in names, some very gruesome ones too and that's another story) or whether they're sold for hard core HLS fans, but I'm sure those are sure to become a hit. How hip is that! While everybody's got an LV/Gucci/Prada/Fendi/Dior already, it's time to renew your Honger status by getting one of those HLS's.
3. Although not entirely funny, there's this drug addict who obviously ODed and who was about to attack peeps in the ER. Then a crew of security guards took control - some sit on him, some grab him etc etc you can picture the scene. An umbrella flew off. Nobody knows what role the umbrella played. But then this 20 sth young man, very tall and very bulky, with tattoos and hair that looks hard as steel and spikes pointed as a durian's, he begged for people to release him.
He begged!
I told you that's not entirely funny but it is a bit funny. Not fun for people who have to attend to him though. I wouldn't be thrilled if I were the M.O. in charge of him. Seriously A&E probably isn't for me.
Things that made me go cold:
1. Witnessing 2 dead bodies at resuscitation room. My first close contact with people who just passed away.
R.I.P.
:(
Not to mention the shock after learning that the young man died after running for an hour. I got a glimpse of life's vulnerability during the rotation at oncology ward, but this, is really a shocker and is really saddening. In the ER all the announcement and people's attitude is kind of indifferent - they see cases like these everyday. It really felt bad when the body in front of you made no move, while all the people around it just did what they were doing at the time, and you see the flag ECG coming out of the machine. There's no panic, no pain around, no nothing. It's the air of indifference that was a bit cold. Not that you expect to see the staff weep though. But it did took me a while to figure why the ECG slip kept showing a straight line. Shrugs.
2. "Cuz you had a bad day, you take it one down." etc etc. It was half bad, and whether half bad is bad... I don't know.
3. If only people can understand. This is going nowhere I know. So I'll just wait.
Madonna's next single from Confessions is Get Together. It is a really amazing song. It's nothing like Hung Up or Sorry - because it's not catchy at all. It's got a chorus you won't remember after first listen. In fact you probably won't remember any part of the song. But it's good. It's almost like trance. I can't explain why but I love it.
It takes me to a place that no other song has taken me to. It's almost like a drug, I suppose. Good thing is it isn't a drug afterall. It's something ok to be addicted to*.
Do you believe in love at first sight It's an illusion, I don't care Do you believe I can make you feel better Too much confusion Come on over here... Can we get together I really wanna be with you Come and check it out with me I hope you feel the same way too
And it's exactly that state of mind the song is about.
It's all an illusion. There's too much confusion. I make you feel better. If it's bitter at the start ... then it's sweeter in the end.
I can only hope.
*I'm not kidding. I'm addicted and it's not very normal, because I've been listening to tracks like Get Together and Sorry for 6 months now and I'm still addicted to these tunes. That's very abnormal actually.
