The Feast at Tong Luk Seafood Gallery East Coast

it was yesterday nite when my aunt invited all of us for a feasting session at tung lok seafood gallery at east coast. gosh it was a loooong wait before we started as the traffic jam at that area was horrific. well but the food was good especially the "dang-gui" prime ribs..... ooooh. simply mouth watering.

it was a gathering where everyone seems to have their own agenda.... something i was missing altogether.... i din know why everyone seem to be talking in codes... some seem annoyed ... all blackface and some simply give the nonchalant look.... well is suppose it is some age old vendetta... why cant pple be happy for the moment??

i din let that get to me and started talkn to pple whom i had never talked to before like me cousins hahahahaha.... yes... i use to loathe them but now, we are like newly met friends.... maybe we are all adults now and are all in the "marketing" area where it is only natural for us to idle-chatter and exchange pointers....

anyway the dinner was good....and tats tat.

the night went on as usual but watching the "cancer patients" on TCS 8 on "Te Xie" was another emotional high for me .... the patients were so brave... sob sob... guess we all either break down or march on in face of such circumstances..... but one thing this cancer-patient lady said struck a chord in me....

"........how many times must I be hit in the face before I really wake up and face reality? Are humans really that delusional? Or are so optimistic that we can ignore the warnings of imminent danger to out lives?..."

simply meaning that when we are struck by some misfortune for the first time we usually take it seriously for only a period of time and after that, we actually would revert back to our old ways and get hit again ..... many times bitten and never shy.... tch..

anyway after the show it started to pour and it was a horrific lightning storm.... i sensed that the storm is different from the usual downpour as the sound of the distant thunders are different this time.... and I was right .... it was a truly "shocking" storm..... the lighting struck many times onto our block of houses and actually tripped some of the houses including mine.... gosh it was very scary...

and yes.... lightning storm is one of the 2 things that I am very afraid of since a young age.... I dunno why but I get the shivers just picturing myself out in the open during a storm....maybe in my past life I was killed in a storm ... maybe... kekeke...

today was a very taxing day.... so many meetings and so many rush jobs and the pple in the office are not performing to standard... at least not to MY standards...so much angst in me now but so little i can do .... feel so tired already....

hope I can learn fast to take things in stride and not push myself and others too hard too fast....
