eeeewwweee...

I don't feel like doing anything today. 

My landlord just put my place up for sale, I only moved in for a year. Keep moving from time to time, it's really exhausting. I'm trying to look at the positive, like at least it will force me to keep my place clean or the fact I am planning to live with my sister later in the year anyways. But everything just pop in too fast, i don't want my house-hunting plan come in a rush.

I really just want to stay in bed all day and eat chocolate; nevertheless, I have to keep moving forward.

Dace 2010 spring collection, lovely!

Nude look, soft airy curls, cat eye shades, mute solids and that pair of red heels! Are you in love with Canadian Dace Moore's spring 2010 collection as much as I am? It's like the epitome of class and femininity!

Here comes the Fall/Winter 2010 videolook

One inspiration, Two perspectives.

Two photographers, love the simple beauty in details so they have joined together to bring you the blog One Inspiration, Two Perspectives. Each week they post their interpretation of a different topic, my favourtie is this one with the pearls and tea cup.

I love seeing creatives come together in projects.

Quote

"When i was five years old, my mom always told me that happiness was the key to life. When i went to school, they asked me what i wanted to be when i grew up. I wrote down "happy". They told me i didn't understand the assignment and i told them they didn't understand life."

Tips of the day

Don't look for what we know

The unfamiliar is right below our eyes

(Freedom and Its Owner, Kings of Convenience)

It's always good to keep ourselves inspired, even from the most mundane things of our everyday life that we usually don't notice. Let's play a small exercise, name one thing that gives you an inspiration today. Doesn't necessarily mean something inspiring that literally gives you an idea to create an artwork or anything, could be just something that makes you happy, puts a smile on your face, or maybe either gives you inspirations to blog, or to write a card or call your loved ones.

Have a good one.

生活

一個人住第2年

習慣一個人食飯, 一個人睇戲, 一個人搬傢俬, 一個人打曱甴, 一個人鑽牆, 一個人逛街, 一個人裝燈泡, 一個人半夜走火警(其實仲有其他住客的, 不過那感覺實在太悲涼...)咩都係一個人。話雖如此, 一個人生活並非想像中寂寞, 反而覺得好舒適自在。

好鍾意星期日, 留喺屋企, 攤喺梳化, 乜都唔做, 聽住音樂, 瞓個晏覺。又或者睇住Travel & Living, 睇下Samantha Brown去遨遊世界, 或Jamie Oliver點樣整個gourmet meal, 睇下雜誌, 沖個靚涼, 過一個悠閒寫意嘅下午。
不過, 呢種活動好奢侈, 並唔係每個星期日都可以咁樣度過。

因為星期日, 又係family day, 媽咪又點會放過呢個百年難得一遇嘅好機會。晨咁早打嚟 "仲未起身呀? (早上9點) 係咪同我哋飲茶呀? 今晚留喺屋企食飯啦, 家姐都返嚟呀! 你快啲起身啦..Blah blah blah...(下刪500字)"

我知爸爸媽咪好掛住我, 仲成日話 "衰女!多啲返嚟食飯啦, 等我煮喲好嘢你食!" 話時話, 我都好耐冇食媽咪煮嘅嘢, 今個星期日就返去啦!

我好少喺自己屋企下廚, 大概因為平日太遲放工, 因為煮嘅份量太少, 因為街市關得太早, 因為想保持廚房清潔, 因為太麻煩...其實都係因為太懶。

所以, 屋企附近嘅食肆, 大都食勻了, 好食唔好食都已瞭如指掌!

一個人生活, 所有起居飲食, 日常用品都要一手包辦。所以難免常以一身"光鮮"嘅打扮, 然後左一條廁紙, 右一袋洗頭水可樂即食麵。初頭為免有呢個奇怪嘅情況出現, 我會善用超級市場嘅送貨服務! 後來發現藥房嘅價格比超級市場更化算, 於是就豁出去了, 擰住藥房紅色嘅膠袋周街走, 都見怪不怪。街坊街里, 又有乜所謂~

前陣子, 因為覺得一個人住好孤寂, 於是毅然決定要養寵物!
縱然受到各方好友嘅勸阻, 直覺認為我嘅寵物定會英年早逝, 命喪黃泉, 阿彌陀佛...
可是, 以我嘅性格又點會理會佢哋肆意無知嘅批評, 結果還是買了一隻天竺鼠。好得意好為食, 會咕嚕咕嚕咁叫, 仲會軟軟咁趴喺我身上瞓覺。當然, 佢依家仍然過得好健康愉快啦 :)

短短兩年嘅獨居生活, 慢慢咁建立咗自己一套嘅生活模式, 雖然偶爾會感到寂寞, 不過大部份時間都覺得好舒適, 自由自在, 亦都變得好獨立。

一個人住, 其實都唔錯唷!

 

This guy

A shot for the French Numéro Homme magazine.

Karl Lagerfeld. Head of Chanel, Fendi and his own label. Jeesh. Though, in all honesty, I still haven’t picked a side, love him or hate him. He is, at the very least, hard at work. Always. You have to admire that this dude shoot good photos.

Love, Love, Love...

Have you heard about this Starbucks Love Project? 
(check out the link!)

One Song

One Wish

156 Countries

Raise your voice and help save a life.

Join people from around the world and sing All You Need Is Love for an extraordinary global event. Starbucks will contribute 5¢ US to the Global Fund to help fight AIDS in Africa for each submission. 

It's such a meaningful and inspiring project. 
So, sing along and make a difference.

Who you wanna be?

Steve Jobs? David Ogilvy? Carlos Slim Helu (he has beaten Bill Gates to become the world's richest man)? James Cameron? Mozart? David Beckham? Or, you just want to be yourself?

If i were...Ian Douglas Wright. A seasoned international traveller. 
Wright spends most of his life travelling around the globe, visiting extreme locations and interacting with the locals. He also had extensive travel experience in xxx, xxxxxx, xxxxx, xxx xxxxx and xxx xxxxxxxx.(places that you and i never heard of, and have no idea where the hell they are)

All i know is, i want to see polar bears, aurora, tropical rain-forest, glaciers, volcanoes, desert, endless ocean, underwater world, boundless stretch of grassland, stars all over my head...and to taste French cabernet sauvignon, Belgian chocolate, Norwegian salmon, Irish Guinness, Cuban cigars, South African abalone, Italian pizza and pasta, Alaskan king crabs, Spanish seafood...blah blah blah...to experience all in real person real places!!
To live the most of my life, and make no regret before i die, i gotta do all these.
I ought to be a traveller!!!!

However, i'm still so far far far far away from my ultimate goal, so...to be realistic, i'd better sit back and keep watching discovery travel and living.

What am i to you?

"grumpy

impatient

indocile

vexatious

offensive

sarcastic

self-willed

fickle"

somebody commented.

Well, any good side of me?

What's your motto?

"Be a lunatic. 

Think irrationally, and get lost. When crazy thoughts come, make it happen."

Boss said.

"yes, true. So true."

Heard thousand times, and i was made to believe in this.

Tips of the day

Get off the computer and get out.

Easier said than done, right? We have so many sites to visit, emails to answer, facebook to go who has time to step away? And that's only on the social end, what about getting your work done? If your job requires you to be on the computer 40 hours a week then it's even harder to flee.
Yea so I'm here to say it's important to take a break from surfing, blogging, designing, writing - whatever it is you do on the computer. Just, leave it.
As we really need some human interaction, fresh air, and fun moments to keep us from going digitally insane.

So make the time. Take a break. Get away.

Say it

Sometimes there's only one thing left to say

P.S. I Love You

A wistful, romantic and touching tale, though the title is way too corny. 

It's definitely an interesting film, I would be laughing one minute, crying the next, all within one scene. And, it reminds me that we all have to live our life full and really make the most of it.

Oh No Saturday

星期六     赤柱

天氣都唔錯, 仲有啲海風添...

時間係早上9點

身邊有一群唔係好想見到嘅人, 包括四位已經"朝見口晚見面"嘅老細和同事們, 一位大導, 同尾隨嘅一班shooting crew

冇錯, 星期六跟shoot

真係唔明大導點解要安排喺星期六拍嘢, 更加唔明點解要由晨早9點拍到凌晨3點, 完完全全咁充份利用一個寶貴嘅星期六...好嘢!

清早9點, 當我仲睡眼惺忪時, 我去到第一個location - 赤柱污水處理廠 (導演搵到個好似山洞嘅地方拍攝), 話明"污水處理", 可想而知廠景內充斥住一股極具震撼嘅氣味, 頓時醒神百倍...

逗留咗一個鐘,我深深咁體會一句"smell like shit!!"

雖然..要星期六跟拍片係有啲不忿, 不過, 其實大家都知跟shoot都只不過係行行企企, 睇住部四方果, 食下零食咁, 都唔算辛苦, 只係我身旁兩位老細成日大發偉論, 令大家有啲無所適從...

已經係凌晨一點, 各人都恨不得聽到導演一句"yea, we got the shot!", 快快收隊走人

奈何...拍到臨尾product shot都仲係不斷聽到"唔...嚟多次啦!"

務求拍到最靚, 最緊要, 與客戶認為"最能激發購買慾"嘅靚仔product shot, 卒之...拍咗十幾廿個take...時間已經係凌晨三點

由於整日食得太多魷魚絲呀, 薯片呀, 朱古力呀, Mcdonald's呀, 我嘅腸胃終不勝負荷, 嘰哩咕嚕咁...結果, 未等到導演那句"Cut!!收隊!", 我經已飛的走人了!

不如...星期一sick leave!

Albums Today- Norah Jones

My all-time favourite

Norah Jones - The Fall

 

"I Wouldn't Need You" "Back to Manhattan" both are good 

不過       都係舊嘅好聽啲

Currently Watching- Fringe Season2

Feel so pissed about the TV-series on TVB? Better watch this!
An American science fiction television series directed by J. J. Abrams, follows the exploits of special agent Olivia Dunham, mad scientist Walter Bishop, and his son Peter Bishop, as they investigate aspects of fringe science like rare diseases, trans-humans with psychic abilities, teleportation and so forth.

Well, the series' story arc is easier to follow than LOST and more accessible for those who skip an occasional episode. But still, it takes me quite a long while to finish the first season, and now i finally come to the second!

Yet, FOX just announced that Fringe would be back for a third season on fall, oh no.

Albums Today- John Mayer

John Mayer - Battle Studies

I like singers whose initials start with "J"

Jason Mraz, Jack Johnson, Jamie Cullum, and of course John Mayer.
I do think that i have some kind of connection with all these "J-Men"...since i found my lifelong favorite Josh Hartnett many years ago, haha.
