A difficult year

Finally it comes to an end of 2010. Glad. So glad. Can't wait to celebrate the coming of 2011 and wipe 2010 off my memories right away. It was the worse year ever that overflowed with worries and gloom. It sucks, really really sucks. (excluding this December, it was great as you know)

Now let me say bye to the nasty 2010 and bless the brand new year :)

Santa Claus is gone

Christmas is gone.
Happy moments gone fast. as always. We did have a joyful Christmas.
(but it's a pity that we didn't go for the Midnight Mass in the Catholic Cathedral, we used to go there on Christmas Eve in the pass years)

Arrrr.....Only few days left of my long vacation, kinda dejected. And you know what, I just got my card bill, it makes me even low...eewww...

All you need is love

My love

Thanks for the enchanting guitar solo, I am so touched. 
Play the guitar sing the songs, it's all that simple yet charmed enough.

And, I love the birthday gift, the SX-70 with the older-than-me vintage leather case!
Muaaaaaaach!

Time in Seoul

13th- 17th December 2010
We had a great time in Seoul.

Anyong-haseyo! (means Hello! in Korean)

Hello! Seoul! Here we go!

We've done a lot of shopping, actually crazy shopping.

We've many good food, traditional Korean style cooking with kimchi kimchi and kimchi. (Okay, I had enough kimchi, guess I won't have kimchi for at least half year or so)

We've met our Korean friend Chan together with his sibling, girlfriend ...dining in some local restaurants and bars, taking pictures, chit chat and toast.

After spending 2 days shopping, emptied our pockets, we both felt very guilty therefore we planned to do some sight-seeing instead. So we went to the famous Royal Palace for a visit and spent the rest of the day in Leeum Museum. Whats-more, we've been to a desert-paradise (named Passion5), it is a pretty cafe full of colorful macarons, pastries and cakes, chocolate, puddings and all the sweets that touch the soul of your heart. It's just a heaven for girls :)

Despite the extremely cold weather (I'm talking about -13c and snowing), we were going out everyday to shop, to eat, to beer, to sightseeing...to do whatever a tourist will. We had much fun and we're glad that we both have such a good travel-mate, and soul-mate of coz.

*one funny fact- I lost my iphone4 and gloves in the subway!!!!! Luckily I got them back the next day, thanks BK(Chan's girlfriend) a very pretty Korean girl with big eyes :D

Afterall, we didn't get lost, we haven't been grabbed by the strangers, we didn't get bombed by Kim Jong-il, we didn't have a flight crash, we come home safe! Afa, we did it!!

Ummmmmm...but ummm.....disaster comes later when we receive our credit card bill...

Friday, December 17, 2010

Finally

I got it. I got the contract. such a long-waited one.

Okay, in this month of celebrations, let's get in a fever of excitement, be crazed and then, lets welcome the year of 2011, it will be a great year ahead.

Work hard play hard, Nicole.

December Rocks!

I love DEC!

I'm off for the whole December! I'm having a longgggg-break, heeeheeee...
Always be good to myself, so let's do whatever I want to! Time to laid-back, relax, time to refresh, time for fun, time for amusement, time for magic happens!
I'm going for a crazy journey to Seoul with my crazy soul-mate Afa! We can possibly empty our pockets as we're gonna do a lots of crazy shopping! OMG! hahha!
I'm having my Happy Birthday! My 26th birthday, lovely!
I'm having a Merry Merry Christmas with gourmet barbecue, roasted turkey, fine wine, x'mas gifts & surprises, lots of parties lots of good movies and a whole lot of fantastic moment!!

Isn't it fabulous? I just can't wait for all these fun time! 
Come on! Life's short, play hard!!

Yooooooo Hoooooo!(Yea, I know, I know I'm far too hyper!)

Currently Listening













I've been a fan of Norah Jones' cool voice and jazzy pop stylings and was thrilled to see so many great collaborations of hers over the past decade with many of her favorite artists.

These collabs are so diverse that it truly makes for an exciting and fascinating album. I love the differing genres and the interpretations. There is everything from rock to hip-hop to country to jazz.

"It's so exciting and flattering and fun when I get asked to sing with somebody that I admire," Norah has said. "It takes you a little bit out of your comfort zone...kind of like being a little kid and having a playdate."

This cd really has something for everyone. It's like a favorite mixtape and is great for just lazing on a Sunday afternoon. "Featuring" shows off Norah's talent and charm, her versatility and her smoothness. It's eclectic, funky and fun!

At a turnning point

Finally there is a good news. A long waited news.

But these news turn into a decision which is so hard to make.
That's the way it is 'cause life's like this, complicated and challenging.

Life's like, a maze, you never know which way to go and what's next. It could be your way out or nothing at all. 
Life's like, a soldier in a war field, aim the target, pull the trigger, with a bit of luck and whole lot of guts.
Life's like, a roller-coaster, up and down, shocking yet exciting.
So here I am, take the chance with no regret no turning back. Get set and go!

2011, it shall be a good start.

An answer to your question

Q- Do you think I am good?
A- Honestly, sometimes yes, sometimes no.

Today's answer- NO, absolutely not. I hate you. Jerk!

I don't beg for your help. Listen, I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP!

I'll figure it out myself and don't ever think that I can't do it without you.
Your tone of speaking made me sick (It has been said thousand times)
I don't deserve this.

STAY AWAY

4th Anniversary

Dates back to November 2006, it was a romantic month.
The kiss that triggered. 

"Time is short, it moves fast, and everyday is so unreal, being with you."
"I've longed for this miraculous happiness. It is too good to be true." 

Four years gone, full of laughter and tears, love and hate. 
We grow. We learn. We share dreams. 

Would you please allow me to walk with you, holding hands, side by side for today and tomorrow happily ever-after? 
Bennett.

Happy Anniversary
with much love :)

Somewhere else

An old song from Travis, 12 memories.
Home and away
Life goes on the same, you bury the pain
And hold on to love
Heal the song, sing along
But what does it change?

Oh, this life is so confusing
Feels like I'm always losing

Come in of knowing everything
But don't say a word, till they teach you the way
Words are found too close to the edge
That we don't dare sing

This will turn into something else, something else
And when it does, I'll be somewhere else, somewhere else
Where else?

And you said I should be myself
Despite all the wrong, dragging you back
Forgive and then forgone and on and on and on

But this life is so confusing
Feels like I'm always losing

And this'll turn into something else, something else
But when it does, I'll be somewhere else, somewhere else
Where else?

Skip this entry

This entry is not for you. Quit now.

This is for myself.
I am talking to myself. I am talking to something that made no response. Here I am.

I used to do this since I was a young little girl.
I talked to my doll before bed, telling my teddy bear what was happening that day and blew it a kiss saying goodnight.
I talked to God when I got into troubles and wild hope God would fix it.
I talked to my pet, consoling him with soft words.

And now, I murmur to my own self when things not alright, when I feel sick and unpleasant with a gush of emotion.
I am down with the blues. again. Losing faith, losing confidence, wasting my time.
I whine. And then suspire.
I am insane. I am goofy. I am out of my mind.

So stop reading.
For you, it's simply a waste of time reading a nut's blog.
Don't even bother to spend a single second reading this wishy-washy one.
Go watch TV, take a shower.

Nicole!
Stop mumbling, for goodness sake.

The National Day

Just 20 mins walk from the apartment, (no actually we climbed the mountain!) here we came to a top viewing point up on the Braemar Hill, overlooks the amazing night view of Hong Kong.
Very cool. Indeed.

Yea, it's a very good place to catch the sunset as well. Interested? Take a look here!

Discovering the Virtues of a Wandering Mind

There's a finding in New York Times' science section that touts the creative benefits of daydreaming...

"At long last, the doodling daydreamer is getting some respect"

Mind wandering, as psychologists define it, is a subcategory of daydreaming, which is the broad term for all stray thoughts and fantasies, including those moments you deliberately set aside to imagine yourself winning the lottery or becoming the noble. But when you’re trying to accomplish one thing and lapse into “task-unrelated thoughts,” that’s mind wandering.
Psychologists also found that people's minds seem to wander 30 percent of the time during waking hours.

Researchers have been analyzing those stray thoughts, they’ve found daydreaming is "remarkably common — and often quite useful. A wandering mind can protect you from immediate perils and keep you on course toward long-term goals. Sometimes daydreaming is counterproductive, but sometimes it fosters creativity and helps you solve problems."

To encourage this creative process, it is suggested that to go jogging, take a walk, do some knitting or just sit around doodling, because relatively undemanding tasks seem to free your mind to wander productively. But you also want to be able to catch the idea at the Eureka moment!

"For creativity you need your mind to wander" Mr. Professional says.

That's the reason why i am doing it so often. Maybe not 30% but half of my waking hours!LOL!

Things to Remember

This is Your Life.
Do what you love, and do it often.
If you don't like something, change it.
If you don't like your job, Quit.
If you don't have enough time, stop watching TV.
If you're looking for the love of your life, stop. They will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love.
Stop over analyzing, Life is Simple.
All emotions are beautiful when you eat, appreciate every last bite.
Open your mind, arms and heart to new things. And people, we are united in our differences.
Ask the next person you see what their passion is, and share your inspiring dream with them.
Life is about the people you meet, and the things you create with them so go out and start creating.
Life is short. Live your dream, and wear your passion.

波士你好!

離開陳曾就嚟半年, 其實一直都有啲懷念以前嘅工作環境同幾位波士...

梅老闆嘅口氣, 一身十年不變嘅outfit (略緊嘅Tee + Diesel Jeans + Converse), 飯後嘅午睡時間(好安詳咁雙手放前瞓喺梳化度, 儼如一具屍體) 與24小時長開嘅World of Warcraft(有時真係好想login佢個account, 幫佢賣哂啲用真錢買番嚟嘅武器, 嘩哈哈哈!)

陳老闆"和諧悅耳"嘅Cello演奏, 6點鐘一句"嗯...差唔多啦!"然後鬆人, 仲有遲遲都唔簽上大名嘅Pay cheque。最經典嘅當然要數阿Paul坐喺confernece room入面開住個價值連城嘅膽機播放蔡琴嘅<被遺忘的時光>"是誰......在敲打我窗..是誰...(粵語)" 再加一句"高音甜, 中音準, 低音勁" 情景就同梁朝偉劉德華喺無間道嘅情節一模一樣。

至於朱老闆, 相信仍然係被美名為廣告界霆鋒, 佢逢星期五風騷入骨嘅時髦打扮, Gel到不能再Gel嘅頭, 開胸恤衫, 再加上“咯咯聲”嘅漆皮尖頭鞋, 仲有佢失驚無神喺老細房裡面放聲高歌, 唱80年代嘅流行曲, 仲有邊個夠佢型?! (其實佢會唔會似四哥多啲呢?)唔好唔記得, 仲有佢玩咗咁多年都唔厭嘅上海麻雀!

KC, 最獲益良多嘅Monday Morning Meeting, 最和靄可親嘅慈父。仲記得有一次你喺報紙專欄度形容我係一個體型纖瘦, 外冷內熱嘅美術總監, 仲話我有啲似郭晶晶添! (雖然有更多人話我似Yumiko同徐子珊......)

陳曾五載
記憶猶新。

舊同事們, 你們好嗎?
知道你哋將會搬office, 到時記得搵我去Grand Opening呀!


遲啲見!

Independence Day

(真係要借用舊波士一個廣告經...Sunday嘅independece day

太耐啦...我俾人縛得太耐啦, 我嘅負能量積累得太耐啦, 我等呢一日, 等得太耐啦...
(Background Music-Halle Halle Hallelujah...Halle Halle Halleluejah...)
呢個唔合理嘅世界, 已經俾我反轉哂。大家起嚟, 支持8月31日美術總監獨立日, 一齊辭職歎世界!

從未試過咁期待一個Last Day。

經過一個多月嘅刻苦工作, 我完成咗整整一年嘅工作量。換嚟嘅係一雙更黑更大嘅眼......圈與眼袋, 仲有失眠同胃痛。
辛苦? 未算。我嘅同事們比我更hard core, 日日對住部電腦十幾廿個鐘, 不眠不休, 費寢忘餐, 實在勞苦功高。
而我, 只算得上係最懶嘅一位。唔好意思, 我真係需要休息同丁丁丁點兒嘅私人空間, 都唔算太奢侈吖。若果我再做多一陣, 我諗好快就壽終正寢...
等咗咁耐, 今日, 終於解放啦。
終於可以搭叮叮返屋企啦, 終於可以趕得切睇晚間新聞啦, 終於可以食番餐好啦, 終於可以有覺好瞓啦...

各位晚安!

遺忘了

二十年的觸感。

今日要談的不是我, 是爸爸。

爸爸好嚴肅, 好少說話, 亦都好少展露笑容, 喜怒不形於色。我倆很少通電話, 因為聽筒裡的他有時cool得令我發麻, 不像媽媽般吱吱不倦的慰問, 也沒有媽媽那既親切卻又煩人的嘮騷。爸爸甚至連結束通話時也不常說聲"Byebye", 只是"嗯, 就這樣吧" 然後就掛了。

也許中國人比較內歛, 我倆見面時從不像外國人般來個擁抱或親親臉, 而只是點個頭, 微笑一下, 然後說句"爸, 好久不見!"

搬離老家快兩年半, 與爸爸見面的時間少之又少。怱怱的三個小時, 吃過晚飯, 寒喧了幾句
"工作愉快嗎?"
"與男友感情還好吧? 要開始計劃將來啦..."
"屋企住得舒適嗎?"
"經濟負擔還可以嗎? 別胡亂花錢呀..."
"閒時多點回家吃飯..."
"多點致電...爸媽想知多點您的近況..."

每次說到這裡, 心裡總是湧起一份罪咎感...因為平日經常都要三催四請才肯回老家吃個飯見個面...而每次總是來去怱怱...
說著看著, 突然心裡一酸, 我捉住了爸爸的手, 答道:
爸, 我一切都很好, 生活愉快, 與男朋友感情穩定, 也有計劃將來。我大個女喇, 懂得照顧自己, 不用擔心。我應承你我會多點回家探望, 好嗎?

爸終於含蓄地微笑一下, 我也笑了 :)

對上一次拖住爸爸的手, 我想已是二十年前。

Grievance

It is the Dark Ages.
W is driving me crazy and i am under great depression. 
Everything is not right. 
I'm overflowed with negative power that almost drowned me.

I quit. I wish there is a time machine which takes me to the last day right away.

It's never easy to find a good job. It's ever harder to find a job you love as if you'll never have to work a day in your life.

That's the reality. Pathetic.

Face it.

Sun lounger in Braemar Hill Mansions

I am overcooked. Too tanned.
  
It was a sunny Sunday. We chose to embrace the sun once again like the other day we did. Instead of going joyride, we took a much lazier way that it is mere a 2 mins walk from the apartment to the pool.

There was nobody when i got there. Great! So I straightly dived in and swam for a lap. Breathe in, head down, breathe out, head up. Back and forth, back and forth.
Backed to the sun lounger, took a nap. 10mins later, turned around. I felt like as if i was a pancake on a frying pan. Haha...

Man's reading, woman's putting on sunblock, kid's running and shouting with glee, father's teaching son, bro's shooting each other with their water-gun, lifeguard's scanning for hotties.

Watching people. Drinking lemonade. Listening to ipod. Doing whatever i want to.
I am relaxed. I feel good. I love Sunday. Sunny one.
Cheers!

Good Days

Joyriding
the shining sun
the blue sky
the soft marshmallow cloud
the mist
the sparkling wide ocean
the gentle sea breeze
the panorama
the overcrowded cityscape
the refreshing greenery
the sailing boats
the enchanting horizon
the soothing silence
the scenic mount drive
the magic moment
the smiling face
the pleasantness
the kisses

the good weekend

Be open to whatever come next

Sorry for the overflow of blue lately. I've been rather unwell and had a gazillion amount of negative energy crushing me down. Feeling insecure. Wandering aimlessly. Drawing into strife. Losing faith. Counting the days. I'm not sure it's going to settle down anytime soon. Currently the future scare the shit out of me. But I'm trying to move forward bravely. 
May God bless me, amen.

Bad-tempered

Your bad temper piss me off, again.

Sometimes i just can't tell how far apart we've drifted. You may not feel the distance. You may not know you are pulling me away, inch by inch.

It's really hard to stand a hothead like you.

I am surly, too. I admit that.
Trying not to mad at you, trying not to counter a fight, trying not to make things worse. I choose to keep my mouth shut and turn my back.

I'm not gonna tell you how i feel and I'm not gonna explain, because, it surely won't help to relief anything whilst you're still striking your steering wheel, yelling out loudly asking what the hell was happening.

Sometimes, i just want to shoot a bullet right into your head.

I prefer the silence.



So i can keep from going insane.

You ask me to shut up. You ask me to do what you ask me to. You ask me to ignore your madness. You ask me to tell you what's wrong. You ask for an answer.


There is no answer.

Yet, there is only one question left in my mind
'Can i be treated gently?'

Welcome home

Last two months, I spent a lot of time looking for work, showing my portfolio to any and every one who would look. Hunting job, meeting people, sharing works. Found some freelances, worked but still looking for another job. 
Panic. Worried. Worked. Worried. I was going through all the possible emotions. Got some offers, but I turned them down. What am I looking for? Until finally I was offered a job from my first employer. I am going back to communion w.

It's not an easy decision to make. at all.

Life, work, creativity is just that at times — take risks and see what happens. Give it a try. Sometimes it results in amazing things, sad things, subtle things or nothing at all. You never know. Just follow my heart and let go.

Great News- Album release!













4 years, we've been waiting for.
The Magic Numbers finally set to release their third album 'The Runaway" in late July.
An English indie rock band comprising two pairs of brothers and sisters. Romeo Stodart (lead guitar, vocals) and his sister Michele (bass, vocals, keyboard), Sean Gannon (drums) and his sister Angela (other instruments, vocals).

Despite their "not very cool" styling, they produce really cool music.
The band's self-titled debut album was a huge success in 2005, and was swiftly followed by 'Those The Brokes' the next year.
Both albums are excellent. These are the tracks that you'll put onto your CD player when driving along the greenish country road, in a sing-along relaxing mood. That's exactly what we did when we were having our fun car-ride journey in Taiwan back to 2007 :)

Now The Magic Numbers return. Great News.

Can't wait till next month? Let's take a glance at the first single off their new album, "The Pulse" here!

Currently Listening- Jack Johnson












Just as the tempature hits 32 degrees celsius, Jack Johnson releases another album that transports me a much cooler place. Nobody does beach music like him and no matter that the ocean is 2 hours away, To The Sea has me smelling the ocean breeze and I can almost hear the sea gulls.

While it's difficult to really separate some of his music, I feel there is no reason to. I have never been disappointed by a single one of Jack's albums because I know precisely what to expect when I turn one on for the first time: the same old happy-inducing mellow music we've all come to love. Overall it's a bunch of feel good songs that's bound to put anyone in a good mood.
