Oxford Comma


Some artists that I have been listening to...

Vampire Weekend - Oxford Comma: "Who gives a fuck about an Oxford Comma..." It took a few listens, but the album makes me damn happy ;)

Ray LaMontagne - Let it be me: Love love love this song

Bloc Party - Signs: Although I prefer the previous albums "Silent Alarm" and "A Weekend in the city" over the new album "Intimacy", I still love Bloc Party

Raphael Saadiq - Love that girl: Great Soul

Bon Iver - For Emma: Such a cool version (I also really like the video's Blogotheque puts up)

好鄭


Kevin Cheng (鄭嘉穎) and Yoyo Mung (蒙嘉慧) were in the Netherlands to perform at the Miss China Europe pageant final in the Hague. I didn't really want to go all the way to the Hague (and spend € 30,- for a ticket), so I opted to go yamcha in Nam Tin the next day instead, when they were also having a signing session. Because it was too crowded, we weren't allowed to take a picture with them. Did get their autographs though and managed to shake Kevin's hand hehe. Don't want to sound like a groupie and all, but Kevin was just as good looking as he is on tv... As for Yoyo, I'm not a fan of hers, but she seemed very nice and looked even prettier in real life.

While waiting in line, some stupid guy standing in my way

Tried to take a picture of Yerk with Kevin, but my camera wasn't fast enough...

Bang Bang


A while back, I got the chance to go to a firing range! We were shooting with three different guns (don't ask me about the exact names and types...) The first one was a big rifle, the ones you also have at a fair. The second one was a semi-automatic gun and the third was a big revolver. For the first and second guns each, we were given ten bullets to shoot, the last one only five. It was really a pity, I was just warming up when I was done shooting. Funny story: I had to shoot at target #2 (there were 5 targets), but the targets were hung a bit strange. I just shot at the target right in front of me and after two shots I realised I shot at target #3. So I quickly changed to target #2. When we were done shooting with the rifle, it turned out that Jeremy (who stood on my left) also shot at my target! There were a lot of hits on that target, but no idea which one were Jeremy or mine ;) The picture above is of the target I shot with the revolver. Three out of five, not bad right? It was really fun! Unfortunately no pictures were allowed. It had something to do with a criminal, who always went there, got shot or something...

So no picture of me being badass with a gun, but here a picture of a lemonpie I made after I went shooting ahahahaha.
