哈！我們去旅行！

完了旅程，房子也搬了，生活亦有點不一樣。


十月，愛上road trip。你駕著車子，我在旁邊看風景。嘻嘻！
美國加洲，是L.A是Hollywood是Beverly Hills，也是十多年前從Savage Garden大碟中收聽的最後一首歌，叫Santa Monica. 陽光與海灘，world carnival還有concert by the sea. 哈！好想放聲高歌唱著Red Hot Chili Peppers的Dani California!!


然後走到太平洋的邊際，看過清晨霧還未散的pacific coast，午後陽光燦爛的藍天碧海，夕陽斜照的紫紅色晚霞，夜裡寂靜而帶點憂鬱的黑...好多層次，好多色彩，好美好美！


看倦了海天一色，便去探訪加洲著名的紅酒莊園Napa Valley，實情是我倆也不嗜紅酒卻又走進人家的葡萄園wine tasting，與同行的貴婦紳士格格不入。還根本分辨不了次一等與頂級紅酒的分別，是Merlot, Mouton還是Cabinet Sauvignon? 都是一樣的苦，唯有用極之貧乏的形容詞泛泛應道"ummm...very nice" 心中想著: 如果這是draft beer tasting就好了...嗯... 但無疑這裡的確風光如畫 :)


我們還去了San Francisco，一個盡是又上又落的斜路，有如波浪一樣的城市:P
吖! 還因為San Fran是沿海城市，美味海鮮就是少不了，Clam chowder也喝了好幾次，十分好味！


跳上飛機，我倆終於到了Toronto，你返回老家，百感交雜，去了Crescent School也去了York University，逛逛Metro/Walmart，當然也吃了大家首推的豬骨煲，還有Second Cup的Irish coffee...就是要尋回那久違而熟識的味道。


接著就向北行走進Algonquin Park-看-楓-葉！嘻哈！剛好是楓葉轉換顏色的季節，紅橙黃綠，加上Lake Muskoka的湖邊小屋與鏡一般的倒影，當時我就只會喃喃地慨嘆...“嘩！好靚呀！” 然後趕緊合上眼睛深呼吸一下，感受那片刻的寧靜...因為下一秒就是接二連三的咔嚓咔嚓拍照聲(忘了提及遊園時我們竟然遇上4架車上印著「大班旅行團」的旅遊車!!只見一群又一群的內地同胞在爭先恐後搶佔有利位置拍照) 嗚呀！再美的風景都給破壞了！真失策！我倆計劃觀光的地方通常都是渺無人煙的，幹嗎會走出數架「大班旅行團」? phew～


趁我們還未被嗆耳的喧嘩聲沖昏頭腦前，就駕車走到森林中尋找糜鹿的踪影...可惜告示牌上寫著 "糜鹿會隨時從叢林中跑出" 並沒有發生在我們身上...結果我只能買一隻糜鹿木雕作紀念品，嘿!
那晚我們就投宿在森林中的山林小屋度過異常寧靜又黑漆漆的一晚。清晨，我倆在湖中划著船，細看晨霧慢慢從湖面消散，噢嘩！實在太美 :D


隨後我們還去了Niagara Falls! 走上Maid of Mist感受有如十號風球的Falls Attack! 嘩哈哈哈!


New York City. 很討厭，掉了iPhone也在Central Park從單車上摔了下來。
參觀museum逛逛5th Avenue走上Empire State Building看夜景，還有Times Square, Wall Street與自由神像...都是一樣的吃喝玩樂。是大城市的繁華璀璨，卻又少了那種度假閒適的感覺...


我們還都是喜歡跑到郊外享受那難得的豁然開朗 :)

哈哈十月

What a funny title that best described this long-awaited October!

Though I am overwhelmed with all that is going on lately, I'm happy to be this busy preparing our long vacation in USA Canada and getting everything ready to move to our home sweet home XD

My happy October begins with

18 days road trip to LA, San Francisco, Toronto, Buffalo and New York!

Driving along the Pacific Coast highway in California; meeting superstars in Hollywood; living in the jungle; visiting Napa Valley the wine country; going back to Toronto where my boyfriend being brought up visiting his high school/university and houses he used to live in; experiencing a special Autumn with fallen maple leafs; getting wet under Niagara Falls, and visiting Broadway, Central Park, Upper East/West, Brooklyn and Manhattan in NYC!!!!!

Woohoo!!

Another piece of good news is that Bennett and I will be living together after we come back! We've found a very nice apartment in mid-levels East on cloud view road around 780 feets with balcony! Also the master bedroom is big enough for me to turn a few somersaults!! Haha!! We'll be moving in right after our vacation therefore we're now very busy searching for the busy-buy furniture and stuffs...busy and exhausting week.

Looking forward :)

Life in Cyberport

life in DDB
despite the extra-long queue lining up for the 69X minibus every single morning;
despite the sense of disparity between the rich and the general public;
despite the limited choice of restaurants and poor customer services; 
despite the lack of convenience stores or bank or whatever we think it's necessary; 
despite the hardness of getting a cab back home in midnight; 
despite the emptiness of its all in this remote location...
Cyberport is one of the best place to catch the sun with its stunning view


Love this sea view office I'm in
Love to take a deep breathe in the balcony watching sunset after a day of hard work
Love that :)

Currently

Trying...New Google+ but not really sure what I think of it yet. I do like the circles ability, but the rest just seems too similar to Facebook.


Loving...My brand new Mac book pro with OSX Lion. Awesome.


Researching...Nespresso. Get a coffee machine for our new home :)


Browsing...
http://hongkong.asiaxpat.com/
a very cool site which allows the wealthy foreigners selling their expensive, high-quality used furniture at our affordable price. It worths to spend time digging out the good deal, and it feels like treasure hunting.


www.urbanoutfitters.com/ 
an american online shop selling clothing, accessories and apartment wares (shipping fee is required so better get a group of e-shoppers to order) 


www.asos.com/ 
UK's largest online-only fashion and beauty store (free delivery!)

Reading...slowly slowly reading Have a Little Faith by Mitch Albom

Listening...To same old favorite- Belle & Sebastian

Watching...Finally finished the third season of Trueblood. Now 'm watching Season 2 of Fringe.


Keeping up... wake up at 8 every morning, make myself a breakfast, watch the news and get to work at 10, off work at 7:30 catching the shuttle bus and go to bed before 12. Get some exercise during weekend whatever it can be running, swimming or just a simple jog around my neighborhood. I feel so good to lead a healthy life :)


Looking... forward to the long vacation to LA, San Fran, NYC and Toronto in October!

Tips of the Day

I think we like to complicate things when it is really quite simple; 
find what it is that makes you happy and who it is that makes you happy and you're set.
