!!! I have picked up an addiction to chick flicks!!! >_<
Its crazy I know but lately I have been watching an unbelievable amount of chick flicks... and liking them!!! >_<  Im still totally in love with Across The Universe.... watched “ He’s just not that into you” TWICE yesterday.... What’s wrong with me!! Ah!! I think the lack of things to do and driven me crazy!!  
hmm when I actually look into it.. It’s actually true.. Lately, due to the lack of anything to do, I’ve had WAY too much time on my hands, leading to me over thinking a lot, watching a lot of TV and Films, and spending too much time working out to the point where I can’t feel my arms anymore! >_< Strange and geeky as it may seem, I kind of want uni and studies to restart already!!!
So, got hit by reality today! Or that I consider to be reality, that is FML.com! xD
 “Today, I filled out an application at WalMart after being unable to find a job in three months. I just graduated from law school. With honors. FML”
 = = guessing she didn’t get high enough honours! Must work hard this year!!! >_<
Oh! So me and my cousin have officially concluded that Usain Bolt has the best job in the world. 3 hours training a day, 10-20seconds of actual “working/running” then he gets to basque in glory for the next 5 hours and eat chicken nuggets!!! Plus! He gets paid loads and is super famous too!! xD
In other news.. went back to CCCC for the first time in like 3 month!!! Was really good seeing everyone and singing again!!!  ^_^ hehe bought these really cute rabbit cake stuff from hong kong for them... the whole box was emptied within 10 seconds!!! Definitely need to get more next year round! ^_^

^_^ short(er) blog today!! feeling a little tired and sick! *cough* >_<
WARNING: you might hate me after reading this blog. Sorry in advance if this blog has offened you.

So I was watching The One Show on BBC with my mom today when I saw this segment on sofa's which contained "sachets of a highly dangerous chemical, dimethyl fumarate or DMF, put in the sofas in China to stop mould growing". These sofas were causing some really agonizing injuries and skin reactions to thousands of unlucky customers. It's pretty old news, but I didn't really pay attention to it before and didn't know just how horrific the injuries sustained were! I am not pointing the finger here and am not sure as to the true reason behind the use of such chemicals; but my underlying feeling is that this is another case of selfish businessmen in the pursuit of even greater profits using these chemicals as they were cheap and did the job in preserving the lesser quality stuffing used in the sofas. I am aware that this is just my personal opinion with no supporting evidence; As far as I can tell, this might not have anything to do with the Chinese manufactory and that it was an honest mistake. However, when you actually look at it, why did I get such a gut feeling to begin with? The answer is simple; this is not, and most likely won’t be, the last case of dangerous goods coming out of china. In a country where people would go as far as to fake baby milk powder for greater profits, using dangerous chemicals in sofas no longer seems that unlikely.
 
I know that this problem exists worldwide and cannot be isolated to one which only exists in China. For example, the current economic crises was caused by a number of selfish bankers and companies blinded by money and profits. Maybe it is the fact that I am Chinese myself, thus being a little bias and pay more attention into problems caused by China is just a part of me.
I actually feel this is an inherit problem caused by traditional Chinese ideals. In a Chinese society, success is everything. A good father is one which is able to provide meals and material goods for his family rather than one whom shows it love and care. A successful person is always the one whom has the largest pay check and not the one who has done the most to bring love and kindness into this world. I guess it is good to know that this tradition has somewhat been watered down in newer generations. Perhaps what I’m trying to say is, I really do hope our generation can depart from the ways of those before us and change.

Sometimes, I truly do feel ashamed, embarrassed if not a little guilty in being Chinese. A country which pays little respect for human life, where anything can be exploited and justified in the name of greater profits, where the rich get richer and poor get poorer. Is money really that important?

woo!! hectic journey back home today! when we got on the runway.. ready to take off.. there was a technical problem with the plane! (captain said it was something to do with the fuel freezing up or something)... and we had to turn back... waiting for 1hours.. it was decide the the problem cannot be fixed.. so then we had to ALL get off.. and get on a replacement plane!! anyways plane got delayed for 2 hours... but at least we got flying... next thing was.. we encountered some seriously turbulence in flight!!! the whole plane started shaking so vigorously that I literally got thrown off my seat! (not off off.. just like 2 inches up and down from it..) It was totally crazy! and so scary! I honestly can't remember the last time I was so scared. girls all around where screaming too!! and a few dude were also making weird noises of fear... xD but ya.. we survived and landed safely... with still just the 2 hours delay!

Our flight was VN 762 from HO Chi Minh City ^_^

hmmm happy news first!!! Vietnam was so AWESOME!!! I was totally in love with the place!! beneath the rushed, busy, hectic lifestyle is a peaceful, calm and simply beautiful country side!!!! Plus.. the food was so delicious :3 The seafood was just so fresh!! ^_^ and I loved both the traditional "broken rice" and "rare beef Pho" !!! ^_^ One thing I (re)learnt/realized from Vietnam is that you seriously don't have to be rich to be happy. personally I really enjoyed the other, poorer side of Ho Chi Minh city.. the people there where not only far more friendly, but seems to carry true happiness in their hearts and are content with the little they have..

sorry for using the same picture again.. but I just think this summarizes it so well..

Seriously note now....
I have concluded that I cannot coexist with my dad for a continues period of greater than 48 active hours....
The first 24 hours is largely peaceful..... after that.. little cracks and the odd argument here and there start to appear... by 48 hours.. nearly 40% of all conversation will end in a small argument of some sort leading to a period of "dead air" before one of us makes some random comment and pretend nothing has happened.... after 72 hours.. over 70% of all conversations will be destined for disagreements.

The stuff we argue about is SO petit as well! Its just we have such different morals and thoughts... maybe our characters are just to similar.. positives always repel..
In general terms, our relationship has improved and has come a long way since a few years back... we haven't had a major argument in ages.. (major = one of us leaves the house.)
but today was just so crazy. we had so many arguments it not even funny anymore..  we couldn't even sit on the same row of seats on the flight back, 15mins into the flight we got into another argument and dad decide to move 4 rows up to a free seat...
Just now we had another agrement over something really stupid.... but honestly.. I'm not sure how much more of this I can take.. and for once.. I'm truly out of ideas.
dam I miss england so much.

I try so hard. so very hard. and I'm starting to get sick and tired of trying.  I feel like just giving up.

NOTE: This was written last night.. didnt realise there was a bar so close untill today!! xD anyways Day 2 atm.. and after spending 8am --> 4pm out adventuring and getting lost.. am now chilling at a bar with free wi-fi!!

Hmmm due to the lack of internet and the fact that the hotel I’m staying at is miles away from anything… I now have nothing to do between 1am and whenever I’m tired enough to sleep. Thus, I’ve decide to do a mini diary about this trip to Vietnam!! Woho!! ^_^

Hey all!!!! got some free time again today!!! ^_^ (not really but I just really wanted to blog)

SO!! as most of you might already know.. I'm currently working for Gary Plowman's Chambers at Lippo tower!!! ^_^ its pretty awesome!!! and aside from the slightly boring case reading..... anyways tomorrow.... today even is my last day!!! >_< looking back on the past 3 week, I've really learnt experienced and enjoyed it a lot compared to last year!!! cos this year with my basic law knowledge, I actually understand some of the stuff being discussed and said!!! Thanks to all the barristers and people who looked after me during my stay!!! xD
anyways... while remaining on the topic of Lippo tower... you know high classed buildings.. always have perfectly polished sparking clean marble floors right? well... in Lippo tower then have the same floors in the toilets too!!!

Awesome right?!?!!
WRONG!!!!
why? because they are reflective!!! >_< seriously you might as well be doing your number 2s in the middle of the toilet!! This has to be one of the biggest fail I've seen in a while... (and it also lend me to accidentally see something I really didn't want to see..... leaving me mentally scarred for life!!! T_T)

hmmmmm what do you call Tony when he comes back to hong kong?!?!?!!?


DONY!!!!
cos he's in the east "don" now!!! ^_^ hehe anyways hope you read this "lan get" and cheer up!!! ^_^

hmmm also saw this really beautiful artwork in pacific place today...
its a display on the history of wars and conflicts on earth... (i think) didn't really get the time to take a good look at it yet... but I just find it so cool! btw those read things all over the floor are shoes.... sort of reminds me of that glass box full of shoes of those who died in concentration camps in germany during WW2.....
MAKE PEACE NOT WAR!!!!

SO! Quite a few of peeps have asked me how I managed to keep my laptop playing music throughout the night and leaving it running for so long without it over heating!!! (hehe ya my laptop is on 24/7... its un-environmental I know >_<)  well... during night time, when i'm just using it to play music, or when i'm out and its downloading/stream stuff... it looks like this!!!

^_^ Solves all the over heating problems plus!! its make it looks pretty cool too!!! xD 

hmm what else.. oh! ya! I take back half of yesterdays post!!! maybe hong kong people aren't that bad after all!!!
so after dinner today... didn't really want to go back home so early.. so ended up listening to music and just riding around on the mtr(train).. (ya its pretty sad I know.. but its actually very relaxing!!) ANYWAYS!! back on topic! at this station, this group of 15ish people came in! with like a few oldies and babies!! xD being the a gentleman.. I ofc gave up my seat to on of the oldies ^_^.... and this started something amazing... THEY TALKED TO ME!!! and it was them who talked to me first!!! ^_^ this was followed by a very interesting conversation with topic ranging from how cute their 2 yr old lil boy looks! (omd!!! he was clinging asleep on his mom like a koala bear whilst sucking his thumb!!! it was SOO CUTE!!!! :3 wubz wubz!!! ^_^), how england life is not actually that bad, summer jobs are impossible to get, secret cooking recipes and how their kid is planning on going to do law too!!! xD it was without doubt the best mtr journey i've had in a while ^_^ really brightened up my day and sent me on my way home!!

After something experienced tonight....Serious note... I, Lincoln Wong, do solemnly swear, that I will learn to control my drink to the best of my efforts and will not grow up to be a drunk.

anyways!!! before writing this... once again eye blindingly long blog.. I spent 30mins sorting out and cleaning(removing website links and stuff) all of my Stevie Hoang songs!!! ^_^ its all neat and tidy!!

man... impossible to see but you get the idea!! xD I actually edited all the properties of the songs.. but thought it would be easier to show on iTunes!!! ^_^
anyways!! thats all for today!!! I need sleep before or I'll be late for my last day at work!!! >_<
