Blue

After the can't-be-worse nightmare on the early morning of last Monday, my mood has become so unstable. I felt so blue throughout the week. I was tired all day and I cried easily.

Maybe F is right. Maybe it's because of some unconscious thoughts deep down in my mind. Or maybe it's just the pressure from work and study. I don't understand what it is but all I want is to stay away from the blue mood.

Suffocated

Have been very busy recently... Well, it's not extremely busy to be frank, it's just the pressure that makes me feel suffocated.

With a tired mind, and a tired body, I don't really think last week was enjoyable.

Hope things will become better this week.

Lust, Caution

Just watched the film with Clark. The two main characters are portrayed clearly and the plots are, though not complicated, unexpectedly magnificent. To be frank, I don't know much about movies so all I can say is that Lust, Caution can successfully depict the struggles and dark side of human beings.
It's a good movie that you can't miss!

A Letter

I've started working again for 2 weeks. I was extremely exhausted in the first week because it is a crucial period to set up routines. And I really get fed up sometimes. It's not because of the workload but of my clients' attitude. They won't care about their work unless you get really angry with them or if you insist to give punishment every time when they get into trouble.

Until recently, a letter has brightened me up. It's letter from a senior form girl. Her words have reminded me of the advice from one of my teachers. I was in F.7. I asked her if this career was suitable for me. She didn't answer me but just reminded me that it might not be a rewarding career because what you did would not be appreciated until a long period of time.

I can't be fed up so easily.

Wedding Photos 2 -- obsession

The edited photos finally arrived. As I've said, they are even better than the raw ones!
I'm too happy with the photos that I almost look at them every day! Really like the style, the clothes and the backgrounds very much~!

Wedding Photos

Went to SiChun last week for photo-taking. The trip was excellent despite the horrible traffic and extremely poor hygienic condition in rural areas. I'm not going to mention it again because I don't want to recall my nightmares.

The photos are great, at least they're what Clark and I want (I believe the edited ones would be even better, hope I can receive them soon) Some friends of ours like them a lot and said they're artistic while some said they're not so desirable. Clark's mum even complains a lot about the photos. Maybe her mum thinks a good wedding photo should be like those she took 25 years ago (!!!).

Of course we are a bit disappointed when we hear these comments but we do understand that people have different expectations of wedding photos -- some prefer to show the couples' faces clearly and the background should not outcast the couple, while some, like us, like to talk about the overall effect and diversity of photos.

Well, we're kind of frustrated at the beginning but we soon figure out the photos are definitely what we want. If not, we can just take photos in HK.

And now I'm planning to take another set of photos (if Clark agrees) with a totally different style! :-)

貨不對辦

本來早已放棄了用中文打blog, 但這次不用中文吐不快...

做完Facial心情大好, 一心想吃一個高於快餐店水準的下午茶, 看到椰林閣的選擇很多, 於是入坐落Order, 點了一個"日式咖哩海鮮炒飯" (Fried Rice with Japanese Curry and Seafood). 怎料來了一客中式炒飯 -- 是黃色的乾身的米, 加了咖哩粉, 還有蟹柳, 魷魚和雜豆! 向侍應問個究竟, 他說這就是他們的日式咖哩海鮮炒飯. 為免加料, 我放棄了換餐...

日式咖哩不是啡色的咖哩醬加薯仔嗎? 為甚麼變了揚州炒飯!

Health Series 2 -- Fantasy

Boys may wonder what things are happening in the female changing room at the gym. Sweaty young women walking naked, girls chatting gaily when having shower and ladies checking up their body shape in mirror proudly are scenes that rarely happen. Actually I've never seen them before.

When actually happening are middle-aged women talking about the share market loudly (you can hear them talking once you step into the changing room), spraying eye-irritating fat-burn oil in the stuffy tiny sauna room, and scolding janitors for not providing enough drinking water.

So don't be fooled by TV commericals anymore.

Summer Holiday 1

Haven't worked seriously for days (no work has been done literally). It's time to get things started again and get into the mood of working. Need to remind myself that if I don't prepare for the coming year, things will be messed up easily as there'll be quite a number of challenges at work.

I always have a long to-do list every holiday. Well, it won't be different this year. Need to keep up with the schedule. Wish me good luck.

Britain's Got Talent

This is the British version of American Idol. At first, I thought this guy was another William Hung -- someone looks funny and acts in a hilarious way. Well, but this video proves that I was wrong.

This guy is just an ordinary British and nothing special -- he works in a mobile phone warehouse and obviously lacks confidence and passion in his eyes. No wonder the judges kind of looked down on him before he sang. But from the audience's reaction, I can see that his performance is a huge success. This makes me realise that some of the people around us have got talents although they may often be neglected in real life. It's naive to criticise/ judge people without knowing them well, although it's easier said than done, I know.

Well, I'm sure he'll be the topic for quite a while and he'll be famous and surrounded by opportunities. After all, fame and wealth won't stay with us long. All I hope here is that he can live strongly and happily even when the public starts to lose interest in him.

The video above shows only the first round. Go to the following links below to view excerpts of the semi-final and final.

Ex-colleagues gathering

Met my ex-colleagues again. It's the second gathering I joined since I left for another new job. It was actually the celebration for my ex-boss's retirement. He's been so good to me and taught me a lot of things so I really want to show my appreciation. I'm also glad that he likes my gift and doesn't blame me for leaving in the middle of the term.

My old colleagues were so happy to see me again and we chatted gaily with each other. We talked about everything. It seems that time doesn't change the relationship. But I still feel anxious about the company's way of treating its staff. Hope they can do something about it.

What about me? actually I'm quite satisfied with this new job but I realise that it's less difficult for me to learn new things here because opportunity is limited and people won't be so active in teaching you what to do. But to be frank, it's a great place to settle down. That's why people can easily become lazy and stop being proactive. So, I promise myself not to slow down but to grasp every opportunity to learn and advance.

Honey, I miss you...

He's now away for a 3-day business trip. Life can't be worse without him. One thing that I realise is I can't share with him some interesting things of the day straight away. And I can't hear his voice before sleep.

Maybe it's wrong to get indulged in somebody so much but I just can't help missing him. Or maybe it's a chance for me to realise how good to have him who is always ready to share my feelings.

I know I'll be alright to have 3 days being alone. Please come back safely.

A Swire New Generation Concert -- Cello World

Couldn't believe that it could be that disastrous. Before the concert, I thought they were just another Trey Lee -- talented young local musicians. Although it was my first time to listen to Pezzo Capriccioso (composed by Tchaikovsky, one of my faviourite composers), I was sure that Tchaikovsky's music couldn't be so boring. When it came to Rococo Variations, one of my favourite cello masterpieces, I had to admit that it was the worst interpretation I'd ever heard.

Maybe I'm not the right person to critique the concert because I was so disappointed that I didn't go back after the intermission. I'm not here to comment on the technial skills of the players. All I want to say is that the way they handled the music was not delicate enough. It's all about the interpretation of the pieces.

What did I do afterwards? I went straight to HMV and listened to a recording of Rococo Variations played by Maisky. Couldn't feel any better.

Health Series 1 -- Yoga

Have just had my first yoga class. Can't believe yoga can be so healing. Although I looked like an idiot when I was struggling with those stretching poses, my back pain seemed to be vanished after just 45 mins. Feel so good.

My goal is to lose at least 4 pounds and get a better body shape before August. Hope I could manage to do that.

May-Aug

Gosh! I've finally submitted the last assignment for the MA courses this year! It won't bother me until Sept, so I've got some new plans to do:

1) drama course
2) red wine course
3) fitness plan
4) cello/ music camp
5) photo taking

Summer, I'm coming! Hurray!

1st Anniversary

Had been anticipating for this day for a couple of weeks. The plan was quite good -- outing first and then dinner in a romantic restaurant.

Well, maybe I was expecting too much and got a little bit impatient as I always do, the first half was not as good. Much of the time was spent on queuing. After we had reached the destination, things turned better. The mist and the outdoor made me feel better and less nervous. Here I need to make an apology because my occassionally-hard-to-control temper nearly ruined the wonderful day. I promise I'll try my best not to give you such a hard time again.

Anyway, thanks honey for giving me such a wonderful and romantic day. It's really nice to spend the whole day with you. Hope you enjoy our special day too!

I love you!

Gathering @ Kln City

Yes, we three met again in Kln City. This time, we went to another resturant instead of the one we went to usually. Had a wonderful time with the girls.
I enjoyed especially the shopping part. They can always the most fabulous clothes in every shop. Not surprisingly, we bought something home again after the dinner! Haha!

After the gathering, Leopard dropped by my home to get back her souvenirs (cosmetic & skin care products!). Later, it turned out to be a fashion lecture. I have to admit that she's quite talented in doing mix-and-match. Not only a beautiful outfit she could match, to my surprise, she also turned the daytime outfit into clothes for dinner in a 5-star hotel! But the sad thing is that my Stitch was inevitably turned into a girl with a bra, which I think is very miserable!

At last, we, including Stitch, agreed to turn himself into a rock star with an ice-cream cone!

Beautiful Sakura

Experienced a care-free 5-day trip with unlimited laughters.

Got a close look at the famous sakura. Took a lot of photos. Got excessive sleep in the coach. Bought a lot of cosmetic products and stuff.

Costed me an arm and a leg...

又是休息的時候!

經過一輪趕功課的煎熬後，終於可以在這個復活節假期小休一下．

今天下班後的第一個節目是到花墟買花回家．雖然整個過程很簡單，但於我來說這簡直是一種享受! 有買主花，選襯花，到插花都令我感到如獲至寶! 今天我整晚都很悠閑的看電視，上網，有不時欣賞新買回來的花．　

在這個十一天的復活節假期，我預計只用三天的時間來處理公事及讀書的功課．其餘的時間就用來做自己喜歡做的事．

其實，只要再多做一份功課，我就正式完成了一半的碩士課程．在下個學年開始之前，我一跟自己說要好好的玩個夠! 第一擊是跟Leopard一起報名參加的Drama Course. 很期待呀!

暑假，我來也!
