人在香港，心在紐約?
I am in Hong Kong at the moment.
In case I have not told you, I have started a new blog @NewYorkDaylight.com
Love.

My last post
No, I am not kidding.
It has been 4 years since I started this blog and it has been a great journey. I was told that message expressed in this blog was unclear. It was my idea to keep you intrigued. Now, no more vagueness. I am not sure if anyone has followed through my journey, but I have to stop writing here. I will write again but not for awhile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Instead of being asked the monotonous question, "what do you do?" I was asked, "do you love what you do?" I paused. And that was the moment I made the decision.
I feel fortunate to have found them to guide me through a lot of things in recent years. My dear mentors. They tell me the bitter but honest truths about reality...
they know me well and believe in my potential.
Being true to myself and cherish everything I have.
Passion is what I have to offer.
Hope is what I believe in life.
I am taking this new challenge.
my bottom line: I ain't sell my soul to the devil. @,@
Do I enjoy sunny weekdays or weekend?
hmm... I definitely enjoyed this sunny Sunday!
By the way, a fantastic freefall adventure topped this graduation season.
Word of the day: Ailurophile

June is in season
This June is like Spring
I walked faster than the floating clouds last night.
I was carrying my unlimited Metro card, but decided to take a healthy extensive walk from E 50 to W 80 Street, on this cloudy early evening.I got to explore the city. =)
After this 40 blocks, hundred of calories burnt right there!
As soon as I got in, the rain started to pour. After this educational event, I stayed with the crowd and enjoyed some delicious but unhealthy foie gras snacks afterward.

Feeling nervous yet excited about what is about to happen.
My passion and dedication...
Summer = Gimme black coffee/black tea + patience + determination

Summer solstice 2011
fireworks!!!
let the sun burn me, let the heat stream me.
talking is the best therapy
their words and their common idea =)
listen to my heart, and it will guide me through...
my answer...
A wet rainy morning turned to a bright sunny day...
I heard it, so I rushed out. Indeed, fireworks! I thought it was the pre-show for July 4th, but then I thought it might be a celebration of solstice...
Weekend hot!
a good way to start a weekend: playing Frisbee with my beach buddy on a beach where no one was there except life guards working out = awesomeness!

I recalled the day I felt unhappy...
basic symptom: no appetite
new symptom: the happy faces I usually visualized became plain symbols

looking at the calendar...
all the marks are to be remembered.
today, the legendary 184 3/4 finally "opened." It turned out that it was not only an "entry" but a small business that sells fishing equipment owned by this couple with 2 fat cats.

June in transition
心緒不寧的兩週，幸好有日同爸爸「撐檯腳」，餐廳內，一邊食沙爹，一邊討論大小事。
。。。。。。
。。。。。。
看着開通的爸爸，想着樂觀的媽媽，聰明的弟弟，同自己。。。。。。
非一般星級組合。哈哈～
小時候，爸爸會叮囑我和弟弟食多啲飯。
現在，他只會提醒我唔好唔記得食飯。哈哈～
他的乖乖女兒又去闖禍喇！
。。。。。。
。。。。。。
two more days to the weekend...
very crucial days...
NBA Finals has been quite a distracting factor, but oh well...

May to June
complicated feeling...
I have been pacing and pondering for decisions that need to be made... aiya, the streaming heat. I miss the perfect weather last May!
I found the JSZ at this not-so-good moment. well... taking a break from reading all the pages. Anyway, the first few seasons were exciting, although not so much for the new episodes.
My old all-star... and no-star... memorable trips...
the next one is yet to come.

ToL review
The movie The Tree of Life is now showing in only 2 theaters in New York.
=)
If you are planning to see this movie, be prepared to think you were looking at a piece of artwork, for like... 15 minutes at the beginning of the movie. A series of visual images painted before the retrospective drama comes in.
There was a full house, but I wondered how many of the audience fully appreciated the movie and its credits due to its profound message. It's a relatively long movie that runs in a slow pace. It was not mind-drilling but rather sophisticated enough to make someone speechless.

ONE in TriBeCa
I have recently been to several exhibitions and auctions. This exhibition was slightly different. I asked questions, she interpreted for him when he was patiently telling me his thoughts in his language. Shaking his thick, tender hands, I felt his kindness.
5.25 books
My bookshelf is piled up with dossiers and binders instead of books. I only keep my current read on my desk, if it was not laying on my bed, so I can easily pick it and read by the window, gazing out the green and the red.
Tonight, I dug out some boxes to look for a book. To my surprise, I found five books. 2 philosophy, 2 non-fiction (autobiography) and 1 for fun.
Flipping through the pages of my philosophy books, I saw the notes I made in between lines. It was amusing to look at what I jotted down. I even laughed at the old me when I pictured myself scratching my head, trying to create an argument at that time... haha.
It is the graduating season again.
Some people are happy that school is over; other are excited to what is coming next.

Mamma day weekend
A Tassimo pop-up store created a coffee craze this mamma weekend.
Sampling delicious coffee, tea or hot chocolate.
Exchanging old coffee machine to a new one.
Getting a personalized mug
Receiving a mysterious gift (a box of mint, a travel mug or a Tassimo brewer)
It was indeed a scene!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An interesting Chinese article entitled "what is a mother" talked about the many hats a mother wears everyday. She is an alarm clock. She is a doctor. She is storyteller, and such.
I respect women, especially mothers wholeheartedly.
Her comments: Being a mother was an interesting assignment; being a woman at her age is widely discriminated. Indeed, being a mother is a lifelong challenging career.
Happy mother's day to all loving moms!
You did a superb job!

May globe
NY is commercial: a miniature of the World in Grand Central Subway Station
Since I was a child, I have been thinking of going to Europe, but I often ended up somewhere more exotic.
If I were to visit Europe, where would I like to explore to? hmm...
I grew up with a fantasy of Scotland, so Edinburgh would be one of my must-see European cities. The musical Prague, dynamic Amsterdam, chic Berlin or green Copenhagen are on my top list.
Italy, Monaco and Switzerland are definitely my top three European countries to explore to. Interestingly, the romantic France never made it to the top list until this possible "mindful enlightenment" opportunity.
We often found new things on this block after coffee break. This time, it was not the controversial gallery, but a Limited Time Only restaurant.
In life, time is all we have and it is limited.

April: changing weather; change for the better
April marked a full year I had spent in New York (360 out of 365 days). To me, it was meaningful because I have been living on-and-off here for so many years but this is the first time I had experienced the four seasons of my beloved city. Even better I survived the bitter cold winter here.
病容不要展露於人前
Easter, not easier. this outbound was worse than I had thought. If they believed me in the first place, then it would have been much better.
在這夜半無人的街道上，只有我。
That pale... should I eat, or should I sleep?
飲食健康要有湯水調理
~Empty the bottle of your body and you shall rejuvenate.
my bottle is now emptied out for the better... soups!!!
I don't eat much, but I love soups. Just too lazy to make them before.
My soup-making activity delighted my mom & pop.
Soon enough, I will be chopping avocados for guacamole as summer snack ^6^
Professionalism shined on this perfect weekend!
Attending a conference with my colleagues was much fun on Saturday.
Attending two plays on Sunday lit up May.
Actors put themselves into fictitious characters and act on them required much dedication.
At the end of the day, they are still who they are. That's professionalism.

When showers water flowers...
又一年，四月雨，五月花，六月晴。
"April showers bring May flowers"
new season. new energy. new trend.
Finding my sanity. Hot room hot!
It has been a year; and it has been amazing.
The busy city never sleeps...
On the day that started at 5:45am, I heard bird singing and saw the Sun rising.
On the day that ended at 11:15pm, I saw a boutique in which nearly thirty staff were busy decorating. Its new decor may impress customers in the morning.
On my way back, I saw these jumpy kids crossing the road.
"What are they still out? Aren't these kiddos supposed to be home sleeping at this hour?" I wondered.
Maybe they were celebrating Passover out there~
purpose. experience. happiness.
Can't wait to see more~
My perfume is out. What a perfect time to get a new fragrance!

MINI MINI ME
On a typical winter day, when I was standing by a traffic light, waiting for my turn to cross the road, I saw three MINI cars in three different colors, ivory, red, and black, making the same left turn.
Since that day, I began to see at least one MINI, mostly the red one, nearly everyday if not the other day. Even the restaurant owner recently changed his new baby to MINI. What a coincidence. Today, I finally saw a blue MINI instead of a red one.
I found this tiny vehicle the other day, slightly bigger than a Smart car. Red again.

April. Rain. Pain. Gain.
Nothing is more defeating than being sick like this... high fever, headache, coughing...
Being sick doesn't give you an excuse to be lazy, but really, I couldn't be productive because my mind was not functioning properly.
In fact, I learned many things. No matter how sick you are, or how healthy you are, most people do not care. For them, result is all that matters. This is brutal; this is the reality.
The good news is I am alright!!! cough... cough... almost. Let me share some happy things with you.
Regardless how contagious I was, I attended several events, from pure entertainment to enhancing environmental awareness. In fact, I missed the NYC pillow fight day on a perfect Saturday! Well... it might not have been such a good idea to spread germ to other "pillow fighters" anyway...
I visited the cats. Woohoo! Cristilla has been sitting on top of the comfy sofa as long as the call was on. I walked up to her and she crawled down to the seating area. When I was thinking about brushing her, I found her fur on the sofa, so I simply looked at her. Instead of ignoring me, she was looking at me. I was delighted. She was trying to "communicate" with me. She even followed me everywhere I went. I just loved her new friendliness.
In between this and that... decisions... decisions... decisions...
By the way, never had I ever played such a cute game in kindergarten, so in just a few minutes... tata!

"I dreamed that..."
I randomly found this and tried it for fun.
I typed "I dreamed that mahjong are floating on sea while I am sitting on the beach eating ice cream" and this is what came out:
I typed "I dreamed that car racing on a football field where cats are playing with a fluffy ball" and this is what came out:
apparently, no mahjong whatsoever in their category and a dog replaced my many cats...
I have been sick too often this winter. On this very last weekend of March, the weather remained cold and unfriendly. My head got worse from high fever that I overdosed myself with everything yet eventually needed to seek help with needles~

Snowflakes in March
三月雪花玄???
I always thought I was an ordinary person, but my experience has been extraordinary.
My emotion today went like a roller coaster.
It was more than a mere long cold exhausting day.
shocking & confusing.
uncontrollable flow of tears... unbelievably incomprehensible.
on my way back, looking at the snowflakes, my eyes became red again.
I cannot explain it as I don't understand it.

mid-March
Nothing but prayer
that random dancing intermission reignited my desire to dance...
focus... focus... tea... coffee... sugar level up
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3.11.2011
Japan's 8.9 magnitude earthquake...
tsunami...
nuclear explosion...
radiation...
We are all vulnerable before nature...
a series of unfortunate events...
will the world end on Dec 21 next year for real?
