chefyingSome pet equipment stores sell cat repellent which could be sprayed around, perhaps you could try some? Cat repellent first time for me to hear it. But it is indeed needed though!

chefyingSome pet equipment stores sell cat repellent which could be sprayed around, perhaps you could try some? Pet shop? I have not thought of that. I will give it a go. Last year, I bought some cat repellant from a Japanese shop. It did not work on the cats, but that stuff definitely worked on me. The smell was so bad, it made me want to leave my house. It smelled like kippers (smoked fish) and it was strong. Maybe it smelled different to the cats - like "come for your dinner!"

first off: apologies to those who don't read chinese. i came across this cover of a fave song and realized that canto and mando versions of the same song can vary greatly in meaning! i wonder if the mandarin-speaking market required a more uplifting message because, really, the almost-cynicism of the canto version is completely subverted in the mando one.

@galvatron i'm not a huge fan of Beyond, but their songs on social issues and injustices are great and a rarity among the love songs in cantopop. the sam hui and beyond style of "political" songs reminds me very much of the protest songs of the 1960s vs the rock 'n roll ones the next gen listened to.

I have been rather quiet of late. Not the best way to start the New Year, but I helped cater for 40 people on the 4th day of Chinese New Year (all of them my relatives from the mother side) and my blood pressure went up to 150/115. It was a great success but my blood pressure did not seem to want to go back down to normal.
Then I had a bout of bad stomach - most probably from eating too much.
I have been to see the doctor 3 times since the 4th day of Chinese New Year. Talk about prosperity, the doctor is certainly prospering from my visits!

@chef I guess you could say it's an occupational hazard. Get well.
Speaking of doctors, my little girl (2.5 yrs old) went to the doctor today to get blood taken for an allergy test. Not only did she NOT cry when the needle was put in, she sat there and watched the blood being drawn. So brave. Then she was scared to take off the tape holding the cotton ball to her arm. A needle is fine, but a strip of tape is worrying. haha

I am not afraid of blood, so long it is not mine. I tend to get distressed when I see my own blood.

Young And Dangerous Song 刀光剑影/郑伊健;风火海 Copy From Beyond 歲月無聲 huh! i didn't realize! i do like the original theme of Y&D, though i find that the song could've reduced its lyrics by about 1/3 and still get the same message across--just so much filler! and i do admit that one of the things i like best about Y&D is all the canto slang that you learn.
