Someone Like You

It's 2:30am here and here I am, sitting here doing countless work!!

I started transferring all my macbook pro data to my new iMac then I found all those photos....

I think one of the good things about being in love

Is to feel absolutely beautiful everyday~

Out of all the movies about Coco Chanel......

Out of all the movies about Coco Chanel, I like Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky the best. I guess cause I like Anna Mouglalis alot.

When I was younger, I tend to like exotic looking girls. However, now that I am older I like elegant looking girls more. I learnt how to admire all sort of beauties. Coco Chanel is one of the kind. People who know me will know that I love to Wikipedia everything. I got my big bday present from my daddy and I requested a Chanel Bag!! Now I am fascinated with my favorite Black and White of course I need to wikipedia Coco Chanel.

Coco dated some of the most influential men of her time, but she never married. The reason maybe found in her answer, when asked why she did not marry the Duke of Westminster. "There have been several Duchesses of Westminster. There is only on Chanel".- Quoted by Wikipedia.

I am deeply impressed with this type of confidence. Well you just wait and see!

SATC2 Premier @ Jessica's Crib

I dont care what other says but I never get tired of SATC. I know they are older now but still they look fabulous and the fashion is amazing. A girl like Carrie will never be happy cause she doesn't look around her with what she has. She's only blind sighted with she doesn't have. I pity those foolish ones. I love the black diamond ring Big gives to Carrie at the end of the movie. Classic and Different.

Today has been weird, it's odd to meet your ex date's ex at Sunday SATC brunch. Then there we are and she's actually kind of cool. I know I've had history with Ex's ex but hmmm I dont know know. Weird ticking feeling.....

Look at the Fashion!!! How can you NOT NOT love SATC?

Happy Pre-Bday To me~

Big Shout Out to my babes in TW, u girls rock!!

Old Friends Know the best......

The day my Chuck Bass said I love you and we said farewell

Do I need to say more? Does that even matter? Hate? Love? a little both? Truth? Lie? Do we really need to know??

Just remember that I love you, I always had, and I always will...

My sadness doesn't matter, my anger doesn't matter, my heart in pieces doesn't matter.

The day my E.Bass said I love you and we said farewell (only because you dont like goodbye)

Happy Birthday to Moi

I had a great birthday party! I love you guys so so so much!!! You guys outdid yourself by dressing up! If i wasn't so bling out, I think I would've cried. xxxxxx!

Disliking GG now

Ok I remembered E. Bass used to tell me that GG is just one of big orgy series. Now I really agreed. I am not sure what the fuck is going on with the script writer cause dude I think the only person who didn't end up sleeping with each other is Blair and Dan.

Isn't this fucked up or what? I love Chuck Bass with passion but he's getting really annoying in the show. SO LAME, please change the script.. However ....the wardrobe still looks amazing.... the soundtrack is really great and i am obsessed with this song by One Republic and I think I wanna learn this song by cello since I am starting to pick up cello once again. Today, not a good day. Depression attack, hate it when it does to me. I am gonna go sweat my stress away ...Ciao Ciao till next time.

Happy Belated Valentine's Day

For some reason, I dont feel there was a Valentine's Day in 2010, guess Chinese New Year trumps Valentine's Day. Hhahha... Guess the media or retail store apparently don't agree so cause I came across reading this article in "Self" magazine that feature "Golden Couples" for the special Valentine's Day Column.

Then I started cracking up by Kirk Douglas when it comes to describe his attration to his beloved wife: "Her vicious sense of humor. The surprise birthday party she threw for me that year in Paris when she invited every girl I'd gone out with there." I was stunned by the fact she used the facts to joke about his affairs and enjoyed with it. So I decided to do some research about this couple.

On the Miscellaneous ups and downs:

He has survived a stroke; she has survived breast cancer. Both survived his infidelities with Joan Crawford, Gene Tierney, Rita Hayworth, Marlene Dietrich and others.

You often wonder how can a woman be so COOL about her husband's infidelities. Well she might not be cool about it but she chose to laugh about it. Then I began to wonder why we women are so tensed up ALL the times? Not everything has to be perfect, so just relax!! Everybody has flaws and yes so do we women. Have we thought about how many negative thoughts that run through our heads everyday? I never thought I am a negative person but today I started collect my negative thoughts when I opened my eyes in the morning. Amazingly, not a good number. We ought to learn how to stay positive though cause “Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.”~ W. Clement Stone.

I also wanna take a min to thank Kevin and John for sharing "the secret" with me. Love my bro and my wonderful friend. Congrats to John for his wedding news and Kevin for having a lovely gf!

Why is PATIENCE a Virtue?

Why is patience a virtue?

Answer by wiki.answers.com

Patience is a virtue because it makes us better people. The definition of the word is to tolerate delay. This implies self control and forbearance as opposed to wanting what we want when we want it. How many times have we jumped the gun and found out it would have been better to tolerate delay or had self control? What did we miss out on? Did we hurt someone we love because of lack of patience? Having patience will heal the wounds and it will work itself out fine. Patience is not only a virtue but a necessity for a happy existence.

I can't stop BLOGGING

Now I have free access of blogger, youtube and FB, I can't sop blogging!! The purpose of this blog is POINTLESS yet very IMPORTANT for people who are going through depression. I just found some great Chinese quotes through my mom's memo booklet and I thought it will be nice to share. I know not many people read my blog and I don't announce my blog in public but whoever comes across my blog, you are in LUCK!

Shorter, Slimmer, and definitely Lighter!

So I always like people who have delicate features, boys and girls. I am attracted to people who have slim and tiny face with very fine jaws. They don't necessary need to have a pair of big eyes but their noses or lips gotta be very stand out. I find people who have that type of feature very very attractive and very unique. I don't know why but then when I described this type of feature to my mom and my mom told me that I am talking about myself.

Then, me being a girl always wish I have higher nose or bigger eyes. That's right, I am very happy with my lips! LOL...Anyway, I am not here to talk about me. For those of you who've spotted me with short hair, I can only tell you that the hair is gonna be shorter and shorter. I always envy those who can wear short hair out cause not many girls who can pull the short hair style out!

I think (just my personal input) girls need to be VERY VERY SKINNY to have short hair, I am all about proportion. I never sport a girl with that type of hair cut that are curvy. So since I am obsessed with short pixie style, I know I am going to lose chuck of weight! Though by the speed of me dropping my weight, it should be by the near future.

I am excited! I can't wait to see the new change of myself. New transformation! YAY！

Everybody Hurts!

While I am in the hospital for 3 days, I was very disgusted by the smell and the atmosphere here. I felt depressed just by sitting here waiting for doc! However, I couldn't help watching the "Everybody Hurts Video" which is released on Super Bowl XLIV Sunday 2010 for the Haiti Charity.

Like I recently blogged, I just realized how fortunate I am to be "ALIVE". I mean I might be sick at the moment but I am still breathing the air and working on my way to be heathy. I am very blessed cause I have a new direction and plan of how my life should be. When I was watching and listening the music video, I got all teared up. I decided to work on a charity event when I get back to Shanghai and I couldn't be more excited about it. I have a lot of new projects lining up which are good changes for my career and personal growth. I can't reveal too much here cause I would rather take step by step.

Now I am focusing on working on my way to health land so I can help more people since I am a naturally nurturing person though I never realized I am. I wanna take the power to help on people who need me. The lyrics touched me deeply!

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on

'Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

Holding ON**

Fofo by El Willy Night

Fofo by El Willy is a Spanish Tapas restaurant owned by my best friend Elaine's aunt in Central, HK. What I considered a good dinner includes great company and I didn't realize how much I miss my best friend. Today I finally have the appetite to eat something that will stay in my stomach.

SO, I wanna talk about the restaurant first. The atmosphere is very comfortably surrounded by a lot of penguins and everything is purely white. This makes me feelextremely relaxed. Tidiness issomething I always look for when I come to a restaurant or someone's office. Due to beginning stage of opening, this restaurant makes me feel really clean and tidy.

Penguins are so cute hahaha, look at the penguins lamps so adorable!! Food are delicious there! I am very proud of Elaine's artwork for the menu, name card and the reserved signs. Good job babe! I enjoyed some laughters last night and for the first time in these couple weeks that I am very blessed to have good friends around the world. Most importantly, I did not vomit!

Ben said I lost chuck of weight and even J. Diddy said i look smaller. Though it's my intention to lose weight but I dont know if my health condition is at the right state. I am going to get a body check up when I am back in TW.

After dinner, I spent some quality time to catch up with my best friend. We've known each other since we were 16 years old, and ironically we were never in the same high school. She was the reason I used to obsessed with hello kitty and I used to pick her up all the time after she finishes classes.

And me being so sentimental, I can only say that I truly miss my best friend.

This makes me stronger!

After seeing the video below, I only have one thought in my mind. How dare of me to think that my problem is bigger than the others? How dare of me to even try to be irresponsible and try to run away from all these? The problems I have right now are completely solvable and quiet challenging. Who gives me the privilege to victimize me? No one is dying, no one is dealing with a matter of life and dead. What really gives me the right to think my problems are bigger than others? I am not a little girl anymore and it is time to learn how to deal with tremendous stress. Yes I am under a lot of pressure, mostly from myself. I am learning to walk around the cliff and get back to the reality. I am very Grateful of having my parents who love me un-conditionally and I have few whom I considered my friends that always be there for me. Of course I am glad that I've been given the chance to conquer what's in front of me. Most of all, I am very blessed to be able to give when it comes to people I care.

Dont Forget 2 Smile cause that's just a universal language!

Jan. 25, 2010 -- Laugh and the world laughs with you, literally. A new study suggests laughter is part of a universal language of basic emotions that all humans share. Researchers found that people from the UK and a remote African tribe were able to recognize basic emotions such as amusement, anger, fear, and sadness through simple sounds like laughter even though they came from very different cultures and languages. "People from both groups seemed to find the basic emotions - anger, fear, disgust, amusement, sadness, and surprise - the most easily recognizable," researcher Sophie Scott, a professor at University College London, says in a news release. "This suggests that these emotions - and their vocalizations - are similar across all human cultures." Basic Emotions Universal In the study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers had participants from the UK and the Himba tribe (who live a remote area in northern Namibia and lead completely traditional lives with no electricity, running water, or formal education) listen to a short story based on a particular emotion. For example, how a person is sad because a relative died. At the end of each story, the participants heard two sounds, such as crying or laughter, and were asked to match the sound to the emotion portrayed by the story. The British group heard sounds made by the Himba people and vice versa. The results showed the sound of laughter was particularly well recognized by both cultures. Listeners from both groups agreed that laughter signified amusement, as demonstrated by the feeling of being tickled. "Tickling makes everyone laugh - and not just humans," researcher Disa Sauter, of the department of psychology at University College London, says in the release. "We see this happen in other primates, such as chimpanzees, as well as other mammals. This suggests that laughter has deep evolutionary roots, possibly originating as part of playful communication between young infants and mothers." Other emotional sounds that were recognized cross-culturally included anger disgust, fear, sadness, surprise, and amusement. But other sounds were not as recognizable, such as a sigh signifying relief.

Autopilot Mode

Did you know 5 months = 20 weeks? I dont really know why I agree to have this long ass break as a torture for myself? I mean I know but this is so so long and today is only been a week which means I have another 19 weeks to go. Then guess what??? We just agree to talk in June that just means there's no actual date and this just sucks!!

I've decided to go on Autopilot Mode like a robot which what I've been doing for the past week. I am in this numb period. I'd been working non-stop and keep myself so busy so I dont have a split second to think about what's going on...cause once I think about it then I collapse and started crying non-stop. Cupcake had been really stressed and I wish I could be a better friend to comfort or give some advise but then I am stuck with words. Then I realize I can't give out much of care and love when I can't even handle my own issue. And that leads to a realization that E. Bass need to do the same.

Right now I just know I have shit load of works and these workloads are waiting for me to deal with it. I am not going to quit on myself so the only way is to stick to it. Never gonna be a quitter and I just wanna make it to the final line. Not sure if I am gonna be the Champion but I have to at least make it to the final line. Autopilot Mode cause I just have to!

Have you ever?

Have you ever at a point of your life that you completely lost and you think you made all the mistakes in your life? I had the exact feeling this morning when I woke up. Not to mention that I just had a panic attack due to multiple stress. I really had an emotional weekend which wasn't really my type of weekend. For the past years, I want my life to be nothing but SANE so I dont really like the whole emotion rollercoaster bull shit.

But then I got it this previous weekend. All the symptoms show: short of breathe, barely movable, nearly faint, limping, throwing up. It's just bad! I think I scared E. Bass alot! Sorry, baby! So here comes the ultimate question- What triggers it? What happened?
Overwhelming STRESS. From what? work is really stressed, our relationship is tense and mostly due to my responses. Then we decided to take a long break, which hopefully will be beneficial for both of us.

I know we both need the time to manage ourselves, I just chose the extreme way to deal with it but it doesn't mean it's the end. I think we both should stop using other people's standards to measure what's between us, especially me. I got this inspiration email from nana the other day, I am so amazed how mature this email thread is. So I decided to steal it so I can use it for my momentum！
