The Blank Page

"What a wonderful dilemma with which to be faced. The blank page."

- Stephen King, bestselling author, from his memoir of the craft "On Writing".

Stephen King. Love him, hate him, sneer at him all you want for being the sell-out poster boy of airport bookstore…

What is wrong with me?

I absolutely cannot find any pleasure in watching sports. None.

I consider an absolute waste of time to watch a bunch of grown up men run after a ball for any period of time.

And watching Golf? How boooring is that?

It seems I am part of an extremely small minority.

A week from last Friday we went to have dinner at McCawley's, me,  my wife and a friend. Found a nice table by the window and we ordered our food. But apparently we were blocking a small part of a…

Water or Wine

As Ben Franklin said:

In wine there is wisdom, In beer there is freedom, In water there is bacteria.

In a number of carefully controlled trials, Scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 litre of water each day, At the end of the year we would have absorbed More than 1 kilo of E. Coli bacteria found in faeces.

In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop. However, We do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor)…

What sells in China

To expand our business, I need to find suitable venues in shopping malls. It was the most difficult part of my job because good shopping malls(ones that contain at least a supermarket, movie theatre and several fast fashion stores such as Zara or H&M) are scarce in China especially in Guangdong. However, in the recent months, I’ve received more than 2 leasing invitations per month and most of them claim to satisfy our venue criteria. It is a sign of a real estate bubble, of…

IKEA TAXI VANS

I was at IKEA yesterday and had plenty of stuff so I needed to use a guy's van outside to transport it home. When reaching home I took the gear out in the blue bags and was pissing about getting change, finding keys at the back of the open van. Somehow I left my wallet in the van.

All my id, credit cards, bank cards, Cathay Pacific card, apartment door card and 4000rmb.

What a nightmare... 5 mins later the van pulled up and the old geezer  shouting to the security who was…

Pilots and Lesbians

An old Marine Pilot sat down at the Starbucks, still wearing his old USMC flight suit and leather jacket and ordered a cup of coffee.

As he sat sipping his coffee, a young woman sat down next to him. She turned to the pilot and asked, 'Are you a real pilot?'

He replied, 'Well, I've spent my whole life flying planes, first Stearman's, then the early Grummans... flew a Wildcat and Corsair in WWII, and later in the Korean conflict, Banshees and Cougars. I've taught more…

Giclee Printing Company

Is there anyone here who knows a good giclee printing company here in Guangzhou? I live in Tianhe so I would prefer to see one within this area though I am aware that other places would be cheaper. I won't mind that either. Anyway, I just started doing coffee painting as a hobby and before I dispatch a couple of my art pieces to a friend, I'd like to have a limited edition prints for myself.



Here's my gallery at deviantart if anyone might be interested what it's about:…

"Would you have sex with me?"

So a friend of mine set me up with a guy, a photographer. 

To warm up, we exchanged QQ numbers and chatted a bit online. 

We were talking about those places that I've been to and he seemed to like my Chicago photos a lot.

Then, out of nowhere, he typed: "would you have sex with me tonight?"

"NO."

"Why not?"

"What do you mean?"

"You have spent 10 years in the US, people there are very open, so you must be very open too."

"Yes, open in a…

I need to disappoint my parents more often

The uncontrollable urge to seek parents' approval works like a toxic of my body. And it get worse. It's like throwing a peddle into the lake - the rippling effects of that urge in so many Chinese kids cause them to lose the true self and seek everyone's approval but themselves'. 

Born as a Chinese woman, you were supposed to be innocent, little girl-ish, better walk with an air head that none of your own opinions were in there. I always remember when I was around 10 or 11, my mother…

Skip the hover bike. an act of endearment… right?

Here’s a transcript of their conversation (translation errors possibly):

Boy, on his knees: “Take me.”

Girl: “What are you doing? Ai, get up. I’m telling you, get up now.”

They walk a little before the boy gets back on his knees.

Girl: “What are you doing now?”

Boy, singing: “From the first time I saw you…”

Girl: “Ai! Get up!”

Boy: “…your reflection walked into my heart.”

The girl…

Do you check up on your former bf or gf on the social media site?

 Who hasn’t logged onto Facebook and pored through an ex’s page, looking at old posts and clicking on the photo of the girl or guy who took their place? If a new study is to be believed, the vast majority of people are guilty of post-breakup cyber-snooping..
According to a Masters thesis written by a student at University of Western Ontario in Canada, as many as 88 per cent of people - nearly nine of ten - check up on their former boyfriends or girlfriends on the popular social…
