♥迷宫♥

不擅于对你表达,很自责
忍受我的任性,委屈了
起起伏伏的情绪,困扰了

不时的犹豫,不时的不定
觉得是必经的
只是像迷宫

有些,我不想说出口
也有些,我不想承认
可能和我遇到挫折的逃避习惯有关
未来有一天,
也许我会不经意的当成玩笑来表达
到时候,应该不重要了吧
如果真的不重要,也可能会忘了

近期来的压力,和种种因素
我只能转向用文字,纪录心
所以,不想公开这个小小的空间
只和少数分享

最近,王若琳的声音能平复混乱的心情
这首迷宫是中文版的 Let's Start From Here
歌词,很喜欢
因为太符合了

你也会喜欢吗?



王若琳 - 迷宫

看著你 看窗外 瞧瞧變紅的叶
輕輕的 你的手 又握緊了一些
該不該讓你到我的世界

let's start from here 無所謂 慢慢來

迷宮一樣的未來 轉一個圈
會到哪裡 我喜歡愛情有點神秘
I don't care where we go
Let's start from here

陪著我 喝咖啡 愛在空氣裡
暖暖的是你的笑 趕走心情的灰
我想我不在意你曾愛過誰

Let's start from here
無所謂 就算愛  像空沙發在等待
擁抱著 是不確定 我喜歡愛情多點驚喜

I don't care where we go
Let's start from here
Let's start from here

愛一個人怎麼開始啊 像街上走過那些人們
轉一個彎 預見美好

Start from here
無所謂 慢慢來 迷宮一樣的未來
轉一個圈 會到哪裡 我喜歡愛情有點神秘
無所謂 就算愛 像空沙發在等待
擁抱著 是不確定 我喜歡愛情多點驚喜

I don't care where we go
Let's start from here um…
Let's start from here oh…
Let's start from here
Let's start from here

♥swift . tense . time♥

It was Manchester Games '09 yesterday
and was volunteering for the very first time
Never really had a chance to get involved in M-games that much
when I was in the comm... 
I've always been stuck with M-Night for some reason...

Here are some of my favourite pics that I managed to snap with 小黑

I like this one... ^__^


For the whole day, I was at the basketball court,
running around and screaming like a mad woman indeed >_<
How glam was that!


Me and Grace think that this is a pretty cool pic~~~
Don't you think so too?
the movements are kinda cool...

This may not occur to be a very appealing picture...
so why did I post it here?
Noticed how their poses are sorta like in pairs?
^___^


M-Games 09 basketball champion
Imperial College

The exhausted Grace and Von
I fell asleep while FB-ing!!!


一天下来,还真的满累
但令我想起以前那两年,四处奔跑的日子
不同的是,当初的战友

虽然,预了会招惹白眼和是非
难免会轻微的痛心,但我可没那么闲空去理会
我只要尽本能给以支持,就好了

欣慰的是,那些尝试逗我开心的人
意想不到的关心和一句‘辛苦
真的还满感激的。。。
谢谢咯!

♥回忆,被削掉了♥

在这儿,都好几年了
看着这儿的人,换了一批又一批
心里难免会有点既陌生,又熟息的无奈

这些日子,让我发现,没有任何人事物是永久的
反而,因待在这儿久了,一些美好的回忆会慢慢的被削,被消磨掉
久而久之,留在心里的,就不再是美好的了
美好的,只能凭记忆,埋没在脑里的一个角落

忍着泪,只求无奈的寂寞感能被忽略
不要经历痛心,就选择把心关闭
但不容易,因为习惯了分享,
可是当得来的,却是冷漠和不珍惜,甚至质疑
委屈,只能往肚里吞,因为是自找的

看来,我要寻找新的开始,新的回忆
当时间到了,我就不能回头。

♥Fab-Feb♥

February
the month that is full of LOVE
signs of affectionate is growing,
and you can literally smell the Love in the air.
*okay, call me lame, so what!*

I had work on V-day night,
it was alright... but tiring, of course.
J, our manager, gave us roses that night after work...
how sweet~~~
*he just loves to please us girls...womaniser!*



The first night of Feb,
most of the Mancunians i know spent the night unconscious.
Why?
cause is was CNY party night at the new club Bijou!!!
the drinks was hell expensive, I have no idea how everyone ended up drunk anyway.
Rumours said that boys just swiped their cards like there's no tomorrow!
*saw that myself actually*
and the bill next day came up to be a few hundreds £££ at least!

Grace, Tien and Me.. 
Love you Grace for watching over me that night~~~*hugs*


This is our dear Ra'a, 
The man who rocks NING!
and he's leaving us *sob*
behave yourself when u're back home!



Last day of CNY, Effie, YunSin and Wilson
came to Manc for dinner all the way from Cardiff and Notts!
It has always been fun to have them around ^__^

*Jee was holding the camera*

Wilson must be back home by now...
Didn't know he was leaving till we met up for dinner!
*sigh*
Cardiff's gonna be a lot calmer now...hehee...
Everyone miss you!!!

又来了

我以为,
一切都很理想,
以前的,都不可能会发生

怪我胡思乱想好了,
我就是,怎样!

一而再,再而三,
叫我怎样嘛!

那是什么心态,恕我不理解
我知道可能是抱着玩玩的心态
但有些无心的举动是会伤人的

虽然不是什么大事情,但我可不想积少成多

这篇,看到与否,做什么感想,自己思考吧。
反正有人只看图,不看文。

♥cny away from home♥

I've already spent quite a few CNY away from home
My first CNY in UK as a student, we had heavy snow.
My last CNY as a student, we had snow as well.


Last year, I was home for CNY.
I won't know when will my next CNY at home be.
Hopefully in the near future.
As in next year would be great! ^__^


CNY in Manchester this year is a bit different,
I went to Foh Guang San,
I went to Spring Gala,
and I went to CNY open house ^__^
 
Above picture is from Spring Gala,
The Master was taking the opportunity to wish his parents CNY,
cause he has not been home for 10 years for CNY,
and was busy performing.
It was quite a touching scene >_<
Saw a few audiences wiping the tears off.
Guess there are a lot of people out there who have not been home.



MSSM this year did a good job to allow students celebrate CNY together,
with FREE FOOD! ^__^
this is always a bait for students to attend any events~~~

They made it in a bigger scale this year,
and people get to catch up after exams.

KeeKee, me, Linda and Alex~~~
Some of the most amazing people in Manc~~~*hugs*

This is me and Linda, back to our cam-whoring habits 


Lion dance was arranged, and I can assure you 
that quite a few kids out there have not heard 
the exciting thumping of drums for quite a while.

oOoOo... The lion is FIERCE!

♥Snowy CNY♥

First day of Feb, went to ChinaTown for the CNY parade~~~
had been looking forward for this day,
cause it means pictures!!!

I've always love taking picture in the lift at my flat,
might be the lighting,
might be the mirrors,
it gives the pictures something different..^__^

Me in my favourite trilby hat!
making my way to China Town~~~

Was helping out giving incense sticks to people,
for them to make a wish with the Buddha statue 佛光山 prepared.

I had to say I never really had any experiences giving out stuff to strangers,
you'll had to get used to the rejects, 
you'll have to have the courage to go up to strangers,
with a smile and friendliness.

It was snowing suddenly, totally didn't see it coming!
But it really had been sooooo cold recently...
Since the first snowflake of Feb that day, 
UK had turned into winterland that few days!!!


It was quite hard to take pictures at such a crowded and happening surroundings.
You won't have time to think before you snap!
But luckily I still have a few favourites from the day ^__^

They are mainly pictures of adorable little ones 
This baby in BearBear suit is soooo CUTE!!!
only had a sec to take one shot, 
I'm sooo lucky that it's a good shot! Weee~~~




This lil' China boy is so happy when the 
财神爷threw ang pau and he managed to catch one ^__^


The love of Mother & Son 
Taken when I was being squashed in the moving crowd. >_<


The girl was totally checking out that handsome lil' boy! 
*Awww...*
I'm sure the boy gonna grow up into a heartbreaker! 
he's totally got the looks already!


Get to spend this CNY with Chien Hung and Pin...
Kriz came to visit as well...
But Vera was M.I.A >_<
*金ちゃん、it was freaking cold tho, I was sick after that day!*
Seri Insan-ers in Manchester!!! (with cotton candy ^__^)




As mentioned before, UK went white for a few days!
This picture was taken when I was leaving uni in the afternoon...
we left right on time! cause there was snow storm after that..

Kinda regretted that I didn't take pretty pictures in snow,
cause I was having hangover and red nose >_<
was tooo cold to even stop for a minute!

♥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~~~ ^__^
