November 1st (morning)

十一月一日

今早爬起床,已急不及待要報告一下昨晚萬聖節狂歡晚會的盛況。

Last night, I went to my friend's apartment for a quick dinner before heading to a Halloween party. When I was showing one of my friends my green sparrow curtain holder, he broke its wings. Oh... no! At first, I was worried that the little bird would get dirty or be lost later tonight, but I realized that being a "bird without wings" made me feel uneasy because I don't know how and where to place it when I get home. I also asked my girl friend to do my last minute nail because my hands were too shaky. In fact, manicures require more practice.

It was a long journey... hah... we passed by the Halloween parade, but it did not look as exciting as last year. We got in with a little trouble. Wow! It was packed. Anyway, let's have a birthday shot and great fun will follow. Cheers!

We left the dancing hall before 3 a.m. Like everyone else, we were competing for a taxi, but ended up waiting for someone to pick us up. On the way home, many drunk people were still hanging out; one passed out at the corner of a road. There also was a traffic jam at 4:18 a.m... (Oh, this is New York on a Halloween Friday, no wonder.)

Was I sleeping?
When I was sleeping, my mind seemed to have been running in the past hours, and I woke up without feeling tired at all. Same thing happened not long ago. Was I really sleeping that night? I wonder. Anyway, I am going to order a large coffee for my breakfast.

Home Stay

在家的一天

It was a pretty well-planned day-off, but things did not go well as I had expected. Alas...

Exciting October!

樂透 * 十月

鬼屋「驚」歴 @ Schmitt's Family Farm
是次的驚遇,我並沒有被嚇破膽,好彩!

Moblie Art: Chanel Contemporary Art Container by Zaha Hadid @ Central Park





Afternoon tea @ Alice's Tea Cup (Chapter III)


Art appreciation @ Metropolitan Museum

同行的友人對於藝術甚有研究,我對她的每一句記話都牢牢記住,如上了一堂課似的。











今年生日,也許累倒了您。
那種感動,越想寫,卻越寫不出來。
謝謝您的關懷!

Andras Schiff: Beethoven Piano Sonatas @ Carnegie Hall

I received free tickets to the concert before getting from work. I was lucky enough to find a 知音人 to go with me on such icy, rainy evening. Being in a concert hall is always a great experience. I also like to 「對號入座」. hah. The music was inspiring! The performance was marvelous!

"Fall" of joy continues...

如果八月是情感上的交替期,九月是理智上的調節期,那麽十月是......

「荷包缺財期」

因為有很多人生日,包括我自己。無他的,最重要是與衆同樂。

我對生日的期望不大,只求開心,能與家人,朋友歡聚就已經很滿足。

但今年我變得貪心了,所以要事先張揚。

If it's possible, I want something elegant and practical for my birthday.

--> just like me (haha. sweet!)

Summer is over, fun stays in fall

Good morning everyone!

已經一個月沒有更新這個網誌啦!有掛住我嗎?

I was not busy in September, but I'd like to do more outdoor activities before the weather gets cold.

Beside regular biking (which I have stopped) and food craving activities, I attended a couple of interesting/ nerdy events, such as U.S. Open, Oliver Sacks' lecture, hot-potting, and a party at Hiro Cocktail Lounge.

Oh, did you GO MAD on the 27th or 28th? I felt weird standing underneath the needle-ceiling light, but was fascinated by the portrait that was made of combs. Of course I didn't miss the giant abacus, did you?
