♥AMORPHOUS♥

Past few days, I've been getting my hands into 
sketching, drawing, putting ideas together, sampling 
and it goes on and on and on...

This design project is due in a week! *EEK!!!*
still got sooo much to do, but quite excited bout how it'll turn out~~~
this is sort of my first attempt doing things this way,
cause i'm somehow being known as the asian lil' kid
with simple-looking designs, but somehow hard-ass to construct >_<
i bet the technicians just LURVE me... Ha ha ha...


Promostyl has always been THE book to look at
 before u start any designs!
no wonder they cost hell lot for each season >_<
took inspirations from some of the informations in Promostyl,
decided to go mineral, organic, AMORPHOUS is the word...

Did a quick modeling on the stand with some sampling I did...
mind the crap bodice, it's just a pile of calico on the dummy, 
don't want dummy to go naked in front of the camera *shy*

I was THAT close to loosing my toolbox today in ZARA,
don't wanna elaborate, but I had a panic attack and I was gonna vomit!
It's such a posh black leather case, I know it's lovely, 
but please don't ever disappear again.
I NEED YOU!

Finally, get to skype with B after what seems like ages...
CNY must be so busy back home for him to be this busy *jealous*

Spending CNY in uk, definitely not the first for me..
but it has always makes me wanna be home >_<
I love dressing up and going to different places with mom and dad
I love the lion dances and hearing them from miles away
I love seeing my cousins and friends, gossiping and shopping
of course, I love the ang pau-ssssss as well! who doesn't!

I was home last year and managed to spend CNY as well
but it was so different, compared to before I left to UK
Very different, from when Grandma was still around
I still get a bit emotional when it comes to her
I bet I'm not the only onee.

Miss you popo,
Love you forever.

As mentioned before,
I'm actually still on skype with B
but B is still in bed... hehee...
it's already 11am back home! WAKE UP!

It's funny sometimes, to see B toss and turn in his sleep
*don't hear me wrongly, I DO NOT stare at the window and look at him sleeping*
Just every now and then... hahaha
B is just too adorable! 
No wonder I love him so much

♥CNY♥

It's nearly the end of January,
but it's only the 4th day of CNY.
Eventhough I had spent quite a few CNY in UK,
this is the first time ever I've been to the 
Foh Guang San temple in Manchester.


I really liked it there, 
maybe cause I've always been quite attached to my religion,
especially towards Guan Yin 观音菩萨.
I made my dad buy me a Guan Yin statue during a China trip, 
which is exactly like the one here, only a smaller size one.
which is now being placed in one of the temples back home ^__^


Really liked the smell of incense there ^_^
Also, I was given a bag of mandarin oranges and sweets~~~ 
and one Ang Pau with a cute phone charm *Happy*



Since I was to 吃齋 on first day of CNY, 
which is similiar to vegetarian, I think,
There are not many choices of restaurants that I could go to.
So, me, Chien hung and Kok decided to eat in at Kok's~~~



Chien Hung and Kok, so called preparing food....lol


Having rice balls 湯圓, for dessert~~~
Chien Hung made the tiny ones from scratch!
but the ginger soup was a bit too spicy for my liking >_<

Oh! we have a surprise little friend outside at the balcony~~~
A Big Fat Soft Fluffy Bunny!!!
Kok said lil'bunny belongs to her neighbour...
he is soooo adorable!!!

I swear the bunny is a cam-whore!
he just posed there for me to take photos of him~~~

Peek-a-Boo!

It's 4am now, and I was supposed to be catching up on my design project...
But ain't got that much done yet... *sigh*
okay, back to work... with a glass of Rose~~~

♥牛年快乐♥

Finally!!! 
It's Chinese New Year! It's the Ox year~~~
牛年快乐!笑口常开!财源滚滚!

Was up cleaning my flat till the early hours of CNY eve....
a bit of a last minute, but at least I did it on time ^_^

Made sure that I woke up early enough, 
so that I could go to chinatown to get some 汤圆 for tonight's dessert~~~
Then met up with Linda, Alex and Dennis for a lil' catch up ^^


Dennis said that this is my signature pose... 
didn't really realised it till now..
oh well ^__^ at least I have one... hohoho....

I like this pic of us under the Chinatown Arch... from a different angle...
kinda edited it a bit to give it that rusty look.. ^__^


Cute cute Linda with a not so ready Alex... ^__^ 
but I really liked this picture...
so don't blame me for putting this pic in my blog yea~~~




While waiting to meet Grace before reunion dinner,
I was sitting in Piccadilly Garden, where the fountain is..


Always wanted to sit here alone one day, 
to take photos of kids running through the shooting water.
They always make me wonder though, 
aren't they cold??? It's freaking freezing!!!



Kinda like this photo showing the difference in dripping water ripple, 
or whatever you call it...


Went to have reunion dinner with Grace, Sally and Ricky at Glamorous Restaurant.
Cool names that they came up with to link with the food.. ^__^



Okay, gonna get some sleep now...
Will update on my 年初一 activities in my next entry~~~

Before I sign off, once again Von wants to wish everyone
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!
恭喜发财!

♥Slumdog Millionaire♥

Today has been a good day,
even though I started it being nervous and uneasy, 
it turned out pretty well as the day ended.

Happy with my meeting with supervisor,
Happy in seeing Petra finally, after days of trying to catch each other..hehee..
Managed to watch an awesome movie before work... 
and that have totally made my day!


Slumdog Millionaire is just way too good... 
(and the soundtracks are amazing as well!)
It's so good that I couldn't recall any other movies that made me felt the same way...
Don't get me wrong, I still love all the other good movies ^__^

In some ways, it had brought back some memories to me, 
looking at the life portrayed there...
The slums, the kids... okay... not gonna reveal anymore... 
Don't want you guys to call me a spoiler >__<



This is one of my favourite songs from the movie!
Paper Planes by M.I.A 

Another DVD on my waiting list now~~~ ^__^

♥New Hair . New Year♥

Weeeee~~~ Had my haircut today!
So please allow me to have a vain moment here

A bit shorter than I expected, but it turned out well anyway ^__^
Not as layered, compared to my usual short cut before...
I would call it a subtle change...heehee


Got myself new hair, new clothes, new hat
Next step is to clean my flat...大扫除!!!
Then I'm truly ready for Chinese New Year~~~
la la la.....

* well, other than figuring out what to do for CNY that is >__< *


________________________________________________________

Okay, the following pictures will get you guys thinking,
" What is wrong with Yvonne, acting like a Raspberry!?!?"

Haha... I came across this Raspberry shower cap, and I just couldn't resist it!!!
I've always wanted a shower cap that's cool,
rather than the usual plastic-cling film-sort-of-stuff


Ta~Ta~~~ RaspberryVon

♥Seven Pounds♥

Finally...
A good movie to take my mind off
A good movie to let the emotions out
A good movie to have you thinking

This is the first movie in 2009 for me, and I am so glad ^__^
It's definitely a tear-jerker, but it has got its funny moments as well

Not gonna go any further now, I didn't watch the trailer before I've seen the movie,
so have your pick whether or not you wanna watch it...

Already can't wait for the DVD to come out!!!

♥Helpless无助 。 Loneliness孤独♥

When you are all alone, 
not even able to move a finger, 
that is when you will be hoping for someone who cares, to be there for you.

It was not good at all
Don't want to sound like I'm moaning here,
but just wanted somewhere for me to throw things at.

This week had been weird.
This week was a series of weird sick routines.
It was not usually like this.
It may not be the worst, but It's definitely harder going through it alone.

汗,让我衣服湿了又干,干了又湿。
痛,来得突然,却不会完全离我而去。
逼自己冲凉,却差点晕了。
饿了,没饭吃,因为我没办法煮。还要受气。
Call for help? Who? 

B也只能在电话得另一端,让我好过点。

原来,孤独生病是那么的无助
好几次,都忍不住痛苦得啜泣





梁文音
我不是你想像那麼勇敢

作詞:姚謙 作曲:陳威全

有時候太堅強 笑容卻填不滿眼眶
越是想要隱藏 歌聲就唱的更響亮
直到入到心底最深處 OH~
你不要追問我 還缺了些什麼

每個人都有夢 幸福總站在最遠方
心中越是渴望 越是不敢伸手擁抱
誰的心是我最後一站
我強問我自己 現在還沒有個答案

我不是你想像那麼勇敢
多想讓你保護能流淚一場
讓我放下武裝 像個孩子一樣
單純的把愛情放在你心上

每個人都有夢 幸福總站在最遠方
心中越是渴望 越是不敢伸手擁抱
誰的心是我最後一站
我強問我自己 現在還沒有個答案

我不是你想像那麼勇敢
多想讓你保護能流淚一場
讓我放下武裝 像個孩子一樣
單純的把愛情放在你心上

我不是你想像總是扮演堅強
多想讓你知道我也要個伴
放下討厭武裝 像個孩子一樣
單純的把愛情放在你心上

我不是你想像的那麼勇敢

♥未来的幸福♥

远距离,思念是必定的
离开前,期望是更多的
只为拥有更多幸福回忆

思念时,难免会痛心
期望时,变得会贪心
此时,就忘了珍惜爱

记得,
有爱,就有思念
别让痛心与贪心所带来的犹豫,掩盖了当初那纯纯爱的感觉。

远距离,不代表看不见的未来
它可以是等待未来的幸福

这首“没有如果”,可能和我这篇没太大的关联,
但,MV里勾回思念。
令我留下思念的泪。



梁静茹        没有如果

如果我说 爱我没有如果 
错过就过 你是不是会难过 
若如果拿来当借口 
那爱是不是有一点弱 

如果我说 爱我没有如果 
真的爱我就放手一搏 
还想什么 还怕什么 
快牵起我的手 

有人说 
世界上最遥远的距离不是生与死 
而是我就站在你面前 
你却不知道我爱你 

我常说 
如果人类连爱一个人都被自己绑住 
那世界末日已来到 
不需要等到地球毁灭掉的那天 

如果我说 爱我没有如果 
错过就过你是不是会难过 
若如果拿来当借口 
那爱是不是有一点弱 

如果我说爱没有如果 
真的爱我就放手一搏 
还想什么 还怕什么 
快牵起我的手

♥还是有裂痕♥


“玻璃碎了,合起来还是有裂痕”

这是红在定期收看的‘康熙来了”里,来宾趙哥,趙正平所说的一句话
红本人还满认同的。


最近觉得趙哥还满多金言
简简单单的一句话中,却可以很明确得表达他的看法,一点也不罗嗦。

简单的句子里,不简单。
他,不简单。



红,希望大家的心都是完整。

♥爱。感情♥

爱和感情
感情和爱

开始一段感情,可能需要爱
那有了爱,就能有感情吗?

一段感情的起步,是需要那股冲动和傻劲
但经营一段感情,需要的却有更多,更多

身边的人,都有他们自己的故事
有悲有喜,最近好像带悲的居多
不然就喜中带悲,悲中带着希望

有时,当红看着。。。听着。。。感受着他们的痛苦时
觉得都好熟息,却不时会让红觉得无助
毕竟红不是他们,红并不会完全懂得他们的故事,他们的痛
唯一能做的,就只有聆听,好让他们不要闷在心里,再给个拥抱

听着,听着。。。
红也会回想这三年多的这一段感情,
不敢说经历了很多
但,却成长了不少
红很庆幸,红很幸福

-----------------------------

之前,我看了看好久没进的,夏河J的博客
《地藏》这片,应该照应了不少人的内心
文章有个留言,让我稍微开窍了点

“每个人都有属于他的故事,不期望别人都懂,只是让自己好受些。”

♥白白的雪♥


雪,
在新的一年开始,
就常常出来帮着忧郁阴暗的冬天添点浪漫气息。

白白的
软软的
冷冷的

努力温习的他们
难寝难眠的我们
都不禁抬头看看
白白的雪,真的好漂亮

来得突然,
去时也不留点痕迹。
人生,好多时候也是这样吧。

雪,
让我觉得好幸福 
好想让B,也看看呢。。。

窗外,又下着微微得白雪花

♥010109♥

The last few hours of 2008
I've spent it in Ning
YES! you heard me right, I was working on NYE!!! 
Not at all too pleased... 
but oh well, this just showed me earlier of how the reality can be


It snowed, but I didn't realised that it did.
Was leaving footprints in the snow, but I didn't realised it was me.
See, I was pretty gone by then...


Von was wondering, where the heck was she.
Von was walking for miles, and still didn't know where she was.
Von would never have walked that distance, sober.
Von was pretty much got conquered by the alcohol in her.
Von was still holding on to that last straw of sense.




I swear, I still have no idea what the boys were doing... hmm....



Let me introduce to you, Jonas Rösch!
My manager at work was lying on the grass making snow devil... *sweat*



Yes, they were out of their mind! hahaha...


This was me, hugging a... lamp post?
=___=



First day of 2009
The beginning of 2009, I spent it in the most remarkable way..
no regret... *Peace out*

P/S: except for the fact that I slept through the rest of the day *sigh*
