x factor

i like to watch x factor , so what , i am just being honest . some may found it sad !!! anyway it is so much fun to see who got it , and who don't , everyone got their own way of performance or expression , different type of pride and confidence .I never understand how people see what is "good " i mean real good , i understand we all got different standard , but sometime when I look at certain audition , i really want to shout out loud , what are u thinking . we all love to be seen and " famous" in a way . Seeing all those performance make me learn a little more about what we like to give and show and how the feedback will be , after some time it become like a equation , u can calculate it . Those really really good become a bit boring . I always like the unpredictable one , that is a real entertainment , it can be funny or shocking . But after all , at the end of the day  , the one who really got the whole package can last and be a real singer .

learning english



cant understand the cover design , a ball with layers of skin ?


find a copy of PRACTICAL ENGLISH USAGE at work , 
it is a very useful /interesting book than how it look .The book point out a lot of common mistake 
and misunderstanding in English writing/usage .Due to the book i start to chat away with a workmate about leaning English in this country(united kingdom ).I am a foreigner in this country , and i learn my English in Hong Kong since i born . English is always a tools /subject in my school life, i use English to take most exam for my whole life for example.Never a keen learner in language , but Hong Kong school make me learn all the spelling , grammar and writing. Learning English in Hong Kong is very academic , it is far more different way of learning compare to this country .
My workmate told me school in the UK have stop teaching grammar , i guess it is different anyway cos you use English here in everyday life , so u learn as time goes by . A language is always a language , i guess the primary idea is for communication .Further study on a language is not easy , and of cause it have its reason , for example for profession needs , and you can also learn the culture from the language . Even though i still think it is a shame that people don't start to learn English in a classic way , language is the heritage of the country , it should be pass on by generation to generation .I do think language is a important part of a history in any part on earth .



The book above sum up a small percentage of where my stress come from in my childhood .
We got a dictation every week from those story .



Word perfect spelling is also in the curriculum.
i do spell better when i was in school , i cant even spell now after i move to london.

gender shopping


reading a copy of new esquire mag , flipping to a section call " manual for a stylish life -shopping ".Oh whats that ? Big bold title - WHY MAN +WOMAN+IKEA=ROW . have you ever been to ikea ? i ask people around me , most say yes, and most of them went there with their "another half " . Do you like it ? most female will say yes or ok , but most man will say they are not sure or hate the experience . According to esquire ,men shop like "hunter ", they buy stuff they need .Women are " gatherers" , we buy things er  just because and buy even more when we wondering in the store . Dr Max say shopping arguments happens due to different goals between gender .They said men only want to get the shopping done and eat meatballs .Woman do most of the shopping for the household , research say around 80percents , therefore ikea is not designed for men . sorry guys !! after all this fancy showroom , measuring argument or what ever reason start shouted at each other , you reach the stock aisles , when you buy a bed or cupboard anything big , those candles and flower pot don't count, you need to go around and collect all the bits , no one will remind you if you miss any parts until you feel so depress , crying and shout out loud contain millions swear words while you are doing your flat pack DIY at home ( do you guys enjoying DIY is another story) , the only way to sort the cupboard out is going back to ikea and go through all again . btw ikea is a no shortcut , no window , dont know where is the staff store , if u need a toilet in the middle of the "shopping experience " you are going to piss yourself .
to be honest i quite like the shopping experience in ikea , ok yeah i am a girl , but i take this " i am going to beat ikea depress syndrome " attitude with me, i will say i am well prepared . Actually the secret to do ikea is go there so many times that you know the game well . My sister used to point out ikea does bring a lot of memory in a relationship , her advice is stick to one ikea , if the relationship don't work out , move on to another ikea . Well i guess she definitely play the game well .
woman love ikea so much that they make bikini out of the shopper !
