And have been dealing with the aftereffects and pain ever since.  You wanna know?  Email me.<br \/>\nThe first clue was the posting of &#8220;Cemetry Gates&#8221; for almost a month.  I generally dun post song lyrics, since I &#8216;m usually better expressing myself than some random songwriter. I haven&#8217;t been online, haven&#8217;t done any MSNing or anything even close to routine.  And on top of that, I see that one of my fave blogs <a href=\"http:\/\/verypoisonouslady.blogspot.com\">shut down<\/a> because of the jealously of petty people.<br \/>\nNext week, I&#8217;m off to HKG, via NRT for a week and a half.  I had a ticket I had to use or burn.  Because of the quick time that this trip entails, I <del>kanna<\/del> head down to my favourite city-state, even though it&#8217;s sooo close!  Singapore will have to wait until next March&#8230;.<br \/>\nThe HKG trip will be more business now.  I&#8217;m planning to caucus with some frens there about finding my way to Hoi-Ping (which I understand is called &#8220;Kaiping&#8221; City now) in Guangdong Province.  If I can get there on this trip, that would be good.  If I can get there <del>after<\/del> before Ching Ming next year (cuz Ching Ming is at the beginning of April), it would be better (I&#8217;m still a sucker for planning) AND I can swing down to SIN and visit my dark chocky lovin&#8217; fren.<br \/>\nDuring this past month, we had our two weeks of &#8220;summer&#8221;.  It was nice.  Today is &#8220;Black Friday&#8221;, or the first shopping day after Thanksgiving.   It&#8217;s raining and cold.  Fun for all those people who actually queue up in the wee hours to get into a mall&#8230;<br \/>\nPriorities, people!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sigh&#8230;.
