The World is Not Fair

It’s not fair. The world is not fair. When we thought SARS was over, the economy of Hong Kong coming back, there’s this Article 23 fiasco. And to top the mess up, a terrible traffic accident happened today. 21 died, 20 injured.
We Hong Kongers strive ever so hard for freedom, justice, safety; for everything. We do. All that still happened.
It’s not fair.
I watched the news over and over again on the news channel. I watched the victims, mostly unconscious, being dragged out of the wreck. The bodies, the wounds, the blood, the tears… Can you imagine what it’s like to fall 50m from a bridge? I cannot. I feel sorry for the dead, but I feel more for the living. I even feel sorry for the truck driver who was blamed and arrested for the accident. The shock and guilt he must be suffering from…
It’s been a bad year for us.
It’s not fair.

Dreams… (and proper entry under them)
I dreamt that I was back in the UK again (I never forget that place, you see). I was packing to go back to Hong Kong, but the taxi to the airport had already arrived. I hadn’t finished packing so the taxi driver decided to drive around to charge me more… (probably because of yesterday’s incident). Suddenly I was packing in my old secondary school at 3:34 p.m.. My plane was at 3:36 p.m. - I obviously wouldn’t make it. I was still hurrying but couldn’t decide on which make-up to take as my bags were already full. The cleaning lady walked into the classroom…
And then another one. There are an old woman, Chiba Mamoru from SailorMoon, another woman, another man, and Lara Croft (the game character, not Angelina Jolie).
All of the people mentioned above were in a weird, green, dark, wet, yucky cave or something, and were forced to stay by the old woman. Lara went and pressed a button on the wall and an oven sprang open. The old woman gave her evils and took the four, five rolls of bread out from it. The people sat down and ate. The old woman told the boys that they had to wear a cape and they seemed to have expected it. Chiba Mamoru wore a white cape over a green cape over a red cape…
The second dream is just too weird…
My mother is currently obsessed with rearranging our baby pictures. By ‘our’ I mean my younger brother who’s 17 and me (18). It’s quite fun, actually, to look at all the older pictures.
1980s - bad fashion style, bad hair, everybody was fat
1990s - bad fashion style, bad hair, everybody was fat
2000s - looking back in ten years time: bad fashion style, bad hair, everybody was fat…
Gosh yes, all the skeletons in Hong Kong will be considered fat. FAT?! Guess what? I’m about 54kg and 1.63m tall, BMI = 20ish. Healthy, right? And guess what, I’m the biggest girl of the same age you can find here! I know I’m healthy (and pretty buff), but when I tell Hong Kong people my weight, they’d say, “Hmph, no offence, but I think you’re a bit on the overweight side.”
