I lose a lot of my pictures to friends'cameras, which seem to be a black hole. So if they ever "publicize" the pictures from their cameras, I will put them up everywhere, to make sure that I won't lose them ~

he's sweet

I was watching the movie titled Adam, with director and writer commentaries on. They said, Adam was so sweet and delicate. The main actress also said he was very sweet. I thought, what? I didn't think he was sweet. On a few occasions, I thought that my assistant was quite sweet. Then I thought, hey, my monkey student did something similar for me too (but said it very differently), but I never thought he was sweet. On the contrary, he absolutely drove me up the wall, and of course I repaid kindness with kindness. But now as I take a different perspective, I see that the monkey was quite sweet. How regrettable that it takes so long to know someone. One day Boss came to ask me about the tall guy. I asked, which one (all were over 180 cm)? The tallest one was very junior but very sociable. The skinny one was good (and Boss thought he was not bad too). There was one who almost always had a suit on (???) but I had never dealt with him. Then there was the blond one whom B...

Jia Jia was watching the monkey texting on his iPhone. Monkey said, "This is called a smartphone." Jia Jia said, "Yeah I know. I just want to see how stupid people use smartphones." {{ ^ . ^ }}

I'm happy today!

Yes, I am happy. Don't know why but I was in a fairly good mood at the start of my day, even though I didn't sleep more than four hours last night. Somehow my "happiness index" spiked when I saw my student. He was trying to ask a question, and then I jumped up and down, and laughed, and raised my hand, and interrupted his question by, "Can I say something?" He glanced at my raised hand and hesitated, and then said yes. I said, "I am so happy to see you today! Kekekekekekeke ~~~" I think this is probably the first time someone said something like that to him, because he paused for a second and appeared to be trying to come up with an appropriate response. He said, "I am happy to see you too." Sounds like he was trying to humour me ~ ------------ Anyhow, I will get to the point about what made me happy today. I was busy. The highlight of my day was doing a lot of HR and PR work. I bypassed our Recruitment team and went straight to the appl...
