Moving Along

Today has been relatively peaceful. There has been quite a few things to do the last few days so I have been busy, but it feels much better because it isn't anything exciting (no new major problems).

The other day I was happy to finally see sun outside. I gave Ada a called and asked her to bring her work out to meet me. She has an assignment due soon and after I saw her last report I was a bit fearful how this assignment would turn out without my help. Also I wanted her help. I don't know what the future will hold for me in terms of modelling, if I can actually do it or if I am being scammed at the moment. I recieved another warning recently through an anonymous poster who pointed me to a website. Possibly s/he was cast as well so we'll probably both find out in the next month what that means. I wanted Ada's help anyways to start collecting pictures. I took a lot of pictures in the past, of my friends and of events. I'm known to take pictures amongst my friends, luckily they've accepted it now and no longer threaten me when I take pictures. This time around I need lots of pictures of myself. Posing and finding the right lighting is really hard. We need to make due with my little point a shoot camera as well. People have asked recently about the weird pictures in my MSN, but I wonder are they really that bad?

Things I need to do:

1) Prepare for the next seminar. The structure is really not set and we had a meeting recently (when no one actually showed up for a seminar) and discussed the strategies involved. The sales team is suppose to contact me this week via e-mail and I will provide them an outline of what I plan to talk about.

2) Review for new classes. They've given me some new classes to teach at SME Education. All I know is that they speak very little English but these "house wives" want to do well on the TOEIC exam. This will be a hard course for me to teach as I'll be expected to try to explain many things in Chinese. Also this will be the first time I've taught a TOEIC class. Good experience for me, but maybe not so good for the people I'll be learning off of.

3) Hong Kong ID card. It is coming along. Carman just arrived into HK and she contacted me already about meeting up. Hopefully by tomorrow I'll have the documents sitting in my hands and this will all be done with.

4) Moving out. It is finally upon me. My roommates and I had a talk. Since one is planning to move out it will pretty much be over for this apartment. I'm a little sad because it has only been 3 months for me, and I really have grown comfortable with this apartment. I can understand the reasons for moving though, as I've already talked about many of the problems that have afflicted my roommate. I may still end up moving in with her though (we're both not really fond of our other roommate).

Today was my first time at Pacific Place. The mall is really nice, and of course full of high end name brand fashion. I also had an eye full of very pretty women who were quite well dressed (for Hong Kong); this style suits me more. We bought tickets for tomorrow night's showing of Charlie and Tthe Chocolate Factory. Time for me to see how the classic has been redone on the big screen.

Just a short little note on Google's new "talk". The IM program is really plain. There is nothing to it and Jabber protocol doesn't really excite me. The VOIP works well, but I can't tell if it is worst or better than skype at this point in time. I'll keep it installed for now, but there doesn't seem to be much of a use for it. There is a short review on Ars.
