I thought I am going to complete one of my two missions in Taiwan... but, no I didn't. Well, but at least I am getting close.

All I ask of you...

RAOUL: No more talk of darkness, Forget these wide-eyed fears.
I'm here, nothing can harm you -my words will warm and calm you.
Let me beyour freedom, let daylight dry - your tears.
I'm here, with you, beside you, to guard you and to guide you . . .

CHRISTINE: Say you love me every waking moment, turn my head with talk of summer time . . Say you need me with you, now and always . . .promise me that allyou say is true -that's all I ask of you . . .

RAOUL: Let me be your shelter, let me be your light.
You're safe: No-one will find you your fears are far behind you . . .

CHRISTINE: All I want is freedom, a world with no more night . . .and you always beside me to hold me and to hide me . . .

RAOUL: Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime . . .
Let me lead you from your solitude . . .Say you need me with youhere, beside you . . .anywhere you go, let me go too. Christine, that's all I ask of you . . .

CHRISTINE: Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime . . .say the word and I will follow you . . .

Looking forward...

Although there is still some way to go before my birthday, I have received 2 presents.

A sexy nice black top from myself (for the Night)
A full program for the birthday night from 5 petals

This is going to be a night I can definitely count on!

Well, something else closer to look forward to... count down for Phantom of the Opera... let me prepare my little hankerchiefs (one for the person sitting next to me, who is expected to cry too... sob sob...).

Weekend... continue with surprise

As per request, here are some strawberries from the field visit this afternoon...
















Bonus shot, early sakura... beautiful... this pleasant surprise just made my week...

Weekend... continue

For a moment, I thought I was wondering in Paris...


































However, the yellow cab and the Chinese roadsign telit is just a daydream...

Glad that I have my camera with me when wondering around. Otherwise, I would not be able to share these moments with you, friends...

out of depression

First of all, thanks for "True Religion" official website for the picture (that's not me, just to be clear).

After a few days of depression, I finally have got something happy to share. I have bought a pair of True Religion Jeans!!! Once again, it is proven that shopping is an effective anti-depression drug. Let's go to work happily and show appreciation to boss, who pays me the salary, by working harder and better (trying very hard to be positive).

Yeah! I have new pants for my birthday party!!! Ummm... may be I need a pair of matching heels which require a matching handbag. I also need a new top...

Weekend

I dragged myself to work in the past five days. The symptom of unmotivated at work is getting more and more serious.

How about weekends? Does that mean I am extra excited? No, I don't think so. Have a brunch, shopping with girl friends, yoga and then what? Dinner alone, or simply skip it.

I am really having a problem here. I am just not looking forward to anything.

Superstitious

I "consulted" a tarot master at a year end party for free just now. Well, usual questions like career and love were asked. Am I happy with the result? Not really.

About career, more specifically my current job, I have drawn two cards, one is "Death", the other one shown a man lying on the ground being stabbed by many swords on the back. Okay, even if I am not an expert, I can guess the meaning...

About love, basically the master told me, your luck will come 5 years later. She handed me a name card and said "come to me another day, I will give you a better fortune telling." Well, may be this implies a more "accurate" telling could only be given if you pay.

Expectation is hard to manage. The most difficult part is to manage my own expectation on things. To convince myself, I need extra effort . The worst thing is I couldn't give up on me, at least not yet. Somehow, I think there are a few nerves in my brain needs to be reconnected or worse, to be cut. Then I would not be that one-sided or stubborn.

Take things easy. The least expected always bring the most happiness (That's what I am telling myself, yet I am still expecting out of the "least expected").

my neigbourhood

looking out from the fishtank...

No subject

I was discussing the dos and donts of weddings with friends today. Music and Flowers are my top priorities.

Wait... should the top priority be the groom?

In Her Shoes

When I knew this movie is on today, I decided to watch it alone.

I made the right choice cos' I was crying as much as I wanted over the movie. Not sad, I was. It was more the tear of joy and being grateful about how lucky I am.

Trying to feel comfortable at the seat (in the middle of a row by the side), I removed my heels. After the preview in the dark, I realised I dropped one, literally. Shucks...

I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart)
I am never without it (anywhere i go you go, my dear;
and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)
I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet)
I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;
which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)

I carry your heart with me by E.E. Cummings

A celebration of sisterhood. To my only sister, my best friend.

Taking things to seriously

I found myself being too uptight about things at work. Possibly under the influence of my Singapore days, I have to get things right, 100% crystal clear. Somehow, it doesn't work here in Taiwan.

Nth new year resolution: take things easy. what are most important at work? People people people.

Project I

This is the second time I am seriously planning for an escape.

Project I is much more complicated and lengthy. The planning period is going to take about 18 months. At the same time, capital raising will be taken place.

This is an escape from earth. I want to touch the sky.
