    Feeling edgy---get over it, the growing pain

    I never really thought about my limitation or i d rather say my full potential... but once it has been activated, it can be pretty massive, but i have to admit, i have been feeling edgy recently. all the trips and business related issues... i am learning growing but also really tired, mentally more than physically... i used to look forward to weekends a lot, but now to me. weekends are another way of saying weekdays, Angela told me we are the same kind people. always try to bear the burden and make people happy sometimes even put ourselves into some really unbearable situation.. why is that? Am I being too nice or it is really gotta stop?

    The upcoming 4 trips are really worth looking forward to. I am sure I will have a lot of fun relaxing---keep my finger crossed

    I am thinking maybe i should create a show called The growing pain--adult version.. unbearable but worth having, because along the way, you grow up really quickly...

    Hope to come back soon

    Accumulation,you got me!

    It is a very rare cosy morning for me without thinking about all the things i used to think about, pretty much relaxing for me, that's why I took out my new IBM thinkpad and started to write.
     
    Can't believe i came back from both Kunming and Xi'an for such a long time now. i feel like they are still in yesterday, work becomes busier, more responsibilities to take ( which according to R, is a great thing, cos if you dont get more responsibilities each coming year, you should ask yourself whats wrong with you, i totally agree with him, i mean 14 years working experience in the US and China, who can be more believable? )
     
    I still encounter the same old problem. which is how to deal with my impatient patience!!! I know articulately that patience is the most important factor towards sucess, but when i am facing it, i just lost it. weirdddd
     
    anyways. good stories out there to inspire me also good career is out there, i should consider myself lucky and blessed
     
    tomorrow will be hell busy again. but come what may. I am ready!!!
     
    Will share my holiday pictures soon. :)

    Lose control, fall. see where i land

    Have you ever felt like you are too intense about many things? Or how should i put it? -fussy?
    I think that's basically the case for everyone. right? dont even deny it. Have you ever thought of
    losing control of everything. just let it be,, forget all the restrictions and limitations and
    curfew and whatever things like that?

    I remember the lyrics from One tree hill-- let me feel. i dont care if i break down. let me fall, i dont care if i hit the ground, let me die a little. cry a little at least i know i lived just a little.

    Modern society gives us too much pressure and responsibility, aint you tired yet? Yes i am.

    so loosen up. man. enjoy life a little bit. walk outside the line a little bit. feel you are alive.
    Today Shanghai is experiencing the strongest typhoon in 10 years. does that mean anything? God only knowss. Just some thoughts... FYI.

    The new album in my space is quite nice. do you agree?

    lol

               Dido's songs are great.

    Find a place where your heart belongs, find your own EVERWOOD

    Have not been touched by a drama show like this for a long time since I watched SFU, but anyway, american shows are full of surprises which is a good thing, right before i am lost in this so called modern, slutty and whatever they call it, these shows will pull me right back on track... SFU to me is shockingly educational.. i dont think many people would see that show the way i see it. But anyway i keep it to myself and it did help me a lot. then after the 512 finale came up,, i was rather upsettttttt,,, at the beginning of the year. UB caught my eyes and snap my finger, i finished the first season in 1 week and still could not get enough, It is really marvellous. American Ferrer really taught a lot about holding on to yourself and acting the way who you are.. UB is coming back this month btw..YEAHHHH

    And this EVERWOOD show, i heard this name from my favorite sitcom W&G... didnt pay a lot attention back then but when i had no show to watch ( Which is the most unbearable thing to me) i searched all over. finally this show came up and hit it off. after the first season i am HOOKED by this wonderfully made show. A world famous doctor living in new york.after his wife tragically died, he moved to a very small town named everwood. the whole reason he did that is b/c his before his wife died.she told him that everwood is the most beautiful place in the world she has ever seen.. if anything would happen to her.He can find her there.. in order to keep his promise to his late wife. he gave up everything ( which is humanly impossible for me to give up if i have that) then moved to everwood.. brandnew life, brandnew everythinggggggg.. the adjustment. conflicts within and external the familyyy... touching cant even beginn my word to describe the great show. all the characters are so vivid and believable. Ephram, Andy, Delia, Amy.Bright, Colin, Nina, Harry... i can go on forever.. they are wonderfully portraying a great show or shall i say a wonderfully real and heartwarming showwwww. no wonder Will  mentioned this show and this show got a lot of awards..

    still watching it. the second season now.still so much care about their characters fate and whats gonna happen to themm.... i feel the bond with them. and i feel their happiness. feel the sorrow in their hearts and eyes.

    The credit ( beginning)of the show is impressive too.. all the memorable moments  in the show. they  painted  them in pics  and framed them.. which makes them more memorable . 

    It got me thinking. living in a world like the US,esp.NYC, a world famous doctor give up all he has then move to a small town in the middle of no where to keep his promise to his wifeee, and in that place.his heart feels relaxed and belonged and bonded to his late wifeeeee.... the plot is really moving. i dont know if it is realistic. but idealistically i wish it is true. cos no matter wherever you are. finding the feeling of your heart belongs there and the feeling your heart is satisfied is the most important thing to everyone..

    Shanghai is pretty messed up city, it gained a lot. but meanwhile, it lost a lot.. i wonder how many people really feel heartly belonging here or mentally satisfied?

    Keep going.man.. in time you will find your everwood where your heart belongs.


    HAVE YOU EVER SAID PRAYER, AND FOUND IT WAS ANSWERED????

    My PDA life--groundbreaking to me.

    Finaalyyyy I mean FINALLY I dont have to waste 40 mins on the bus when i go to work in the morning.. watching movie,
    listening to music. reading PDF books.... have been my options now. YEAH, even using wireless internet. thats so cool.
    if u calculate how much time you would have wasted on the bus, it will scare the hell out of you. but now. instead of watsting it. i save a lot and i can learn more and make better use of my time. YOHOLALA
     
    The music soundtrack of Forrest Gump is really encouraging. i still remember the feeling i had every time i watched that movie. that AWESOME movie of all time. and along with my Celin Dion. lol
     
    Not much going on recently. but clearing my mind and getting ready for the next step of my life is imperative.
     
    So just another reminder here. no matter you do. dont be casted away, ok? Cos you know what u waht in your life and you are gonna get it in the future. :)

    Trivials! The neglected!

    The longer I stay in my company. the more I love it. A lot of awesome colleagues who are friendly. humble and once more professionally awesome! I still remember last time. These Chinese colleagues working in French project went to France to work, and now, the Italian team will go to Milano next month!!!! How awesome is that. As long as you work hard, everything will be paid off. your dream of going abroad, your dream of being a team leader and so on..

    Hold up!Your day will come, and you know which team are you in! Man!

    The trip home next month is also another thing that I do expect and look forward to. Wish everything will be going my way!

    Lovely weather. lovely people, lovely company.... LOVELY basically everything!!!

                       YEAH

    Flown away

     When i was listening to Flown away last night. i actually paid special attention to the lyrics. amazingly beautiful lyrics with
    kind melody that will make you meditate... what can be better for you to spend your cosy summer night with? ( also plus the summber breeze).
     
    Have you ever wondered that there are 6 billion ppl in this globe, and they are living in over 200 countries and terrorities? Each individual has its own life and experience, sad . exciting. happy, stimulating.. whatsoever. Have you ever thought someone's life is something you ever wanted to?
     
    No enviness. no jealousy. just the thoughts that i might one day have the same life? Been hit on my head really.
     
    The trip to Thailand is awesome. ppl told me puhket is not really thai style island. it is totally westernlized. i agree. cos i could not see  alot of asian looking ppl there ( apart from local thai ppl) whats so fascinating about Phuket? I think it is the spirit of freedom, because in this island. you can forget that you live in a modern society, you can enjoy all the natrual landscape and scenary and everything, you can do whatever you want as long as you wont hurt anyone.
     
    A Great spirit--freedom which i never felt before. ( In HK, i sensed a little bit. but compare to Thailand. it is still not enough..)
     
    I am imagining, what if my next trip is to europe or the US? Wow. that must rock my world!!!!
     
    BTW. meet Yunnan ppl in Thailand,. they work and live there. felt great.
     
    I think i am gonna write more about the details of my trip. but first i have to clear my thoughts, still caught up by the beautiful sandy beach and sky blue ocean.
     
    I want to be free, fly high..

    The heaven sent princess, you are always in our heart

    The last week was absolutely all about Diana, the great concert < Concert for Diana> and < Diana and me> < The NBC interview with the two princes > everything all point to our beloved princess of wales-Diana,

    I didnt know too much about her actually, but after watching all these amazing programs on the satellite TV, i began to concretalize the great imagine about her. her charitable activities, philanthropic  manner, the loving giving caring heart.. these are all so natural and spontaneous, i can tell she was not faking.. also all the famous ppl from the concert telling the whole world the true and sweet stories about them and Diana... I wet my eyes many times..  

    She will be 45 if she is still alive. but i mean who would care how old she is? cos she is living in our heart forever.

    the heaven sent princess, you will be long remembered by us on this F... up planet. no matter what. we wish your days in heaven rock!!!

    A little chaos recently, helping Dear Anna. dealing with my own stuffs and issues. dealing with PR...... bla bla bla. nothing much to complain. but trivial can actually annoy you a lot too. anyway, they will pass. just hold on there. ok? man?


    I hope you dont mind. i hope you dont mind. that i put down in words. how wonderful life is when you are in the world!!!
    This is your song.

    Yesterday

    Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away 
    Now it looks as though they're here to stay
    Oh, I believe in yesterday

    Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be
    There's a shadow hanging over me
    Oh, yesterday came suddenly

    Why she had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say
    I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

    Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
    Now I need a place to hide away
    Oh, I believe in yesterday

    Why she had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say
    I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

    Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
    Now I need a place to hide away
    Oh, I believe in yesterday, mm

    Procrastinate the procrastinated

    Snap your fingers, then all your dreams will be realized? that's pretty much everyone's dream, including me. but since the prerequisite here is that it is a dream. which means it is not realistic. but anyway. still hoping that would happen.
     
    This month's life is really awesome. living in a gorgeous place for free. enjoy all the luxury gadgets and four lovely cats. lol. and some people still owe me big time. can you imagine that even for a second? Watching all my favorite western TV channels again any time i want. what more can you expect..
     
    Everything is going fine with my work. i start to like it actually. i never imagined that i can work in such an awesome high tech park and work with so many IT prefessionals. i guess LIEF IS LIKE A BOX OF CHOCOLATE, YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GONNA GET! if you look at this in a positive way.then you will feel very much promising again.
     
    Crisis will appear of course. in everyone's life..I DO MEAN EVERYONE. but in my own crisis. i will learn to handle it well and get out of it...
     
    Helping ppl gives me such great feeling. and will go on doing that.,.
     Seems like i am perfectly happy and satisfied. but still.... why all the procrastination?  why can't i just snap my fingers and let them be realized??? WHY NOT WHY NOT???? WHY WHY WHYYYYYYY
     
    Embrace each awesome day you have. cos they will be gone forever!!!!
    Because tomorrow. you might be still young. but your dreams may not!!!!
     
    When can we have more reality shows like in western countries? I DO LOVE CHINA and I WANT MY country to be better and better.
     
    All my friends are leaving china and going back to their home country? Is China that uncomfortable for them to stay long?
     
    Countless questions will go on forever, but god knows the answers..
     
    Cherish life. cos you only live several years. but you will be dead forever!!!!! Plan a trip with my colleague soon.
     
    ENGLAND ROCKS!!!!!!

    Milestones!!! keep accumulating!!!

    Recently, i got this new philosophy because of working for IT company. the whole methodology is about setting up a WBS
    with different phases. and whenever you finish one milestone, you mark it and acknowledge it, gradually without you even knowing, you are very close to accomplish your project. 

    I never thought that i would work in this filed. but i have to say. this field rocks and i do love it... the colleagues here are so nice and humble. plus. they are very talented ppl here...

    Lucky me!!! and remember my milestone philosophy... catch you later

    It is a life with the beating of my young heart

    Today when i woke up with Lina ( we both looked so awful and strange) i put this song on. suddenly. the lyrics struke me. totally.. then i feel yes. it is my song. and the lyrics are supposed to be for me. so catch the last passion of my waking up time. i remembered it and stored it in my brain
     
    Yes. why always complaining., no matter how old you are, there are always ppl older than you. and no matter when do you realize your dream. there is always ppl realize their dreams later than you. so whats the big fuss??
     
    The looking after 4 cats thing must be awesome for Anna. haha
     
    Live your life to the full.then you dont have anything to regreat. ok? man!!!!
     
    AOL says today an 76 yo American guy jumped into a river and saved a pomeranian dog. AWESOMEEEEEEE
    Next week's trip can rock my world too. haha

    Vanity fair? My own?

    Have been knowing this magazine <Vanity fair> for a long time, i also know the movie with the same name as the magazine and the novel. i never dig deeply inside this expression, but today,, the 5th day of June. i suddenly realize my current life is such a big vanity fair...

    Need time to sort it out. on my own or with close friends..

    You got me wet eyes, to <Ugly Betty>

    First i have to clearify that i am not a trend fan.which means i dont usually watch these shows that are HOT among other ppl. i discover them by myself. I dont give a damn about <P.B> <Lost> < Project runway> < Amerian Idols> and shows like these.but i do give a lot of damn about <Ugly Betty> to be honest. when i first found this show. i was bored by a lot of other shows, this one was kind of rebound,, but anyway. long story short after the first 2 episode. i totally fell in love with Betty and almost all the characters in that show.
     
    One week. i finished the whole first season. i laughed with them. i felt blue with them, i even cried with them. the last eposide was the best and the elite part of the 1st  season. Henry's leaving. Santos's heronic death, Betty's reunion with her Mexcian family,, Alexsi and Daniel's ice breaking...... all the characters are so real and true, it is like when you reach out your hand, you can feel them, you can touch them, and whe you look around you, you can actually find similar ppl around you...  i guess thats the reason why this show totally caught  me...
     
    I am glad my May really rocked. impressed important ppl in my life. moved to this fantastic new flat, met new friends,, found great new show ,,,,,,,
     
    It is right in the song's lyrics "Every day. there are many things going to happen. every trip. there are things worth expecting..
     
    Betty,you are such a lovely Mexican girl. here is sth. you might not know. you made a person who is half the global from you wants to be a better person.. You are a shinny star. simple but shinning....
     
    Cant wait till the 2nd season coming out... Damn. 4more monthssssssssssssssss. KILLING ME
     
    If who dares to call her ugly again.i am gonna kick their asses... Betty, you are the most beautiful girl in the world to me.

    You never know how much potential you got

    Before this tuesday i always believed one's ablity is limited. but after that. i have to change my belief now. I was really amused by myself too. i have to admit that i was not very spontaneous enough to take that challenge. but after i did. i was totally up for it. until that day i totally killed. ( including myself) anyway. i will never forget my another big personal show. hehe..

    Recently. all my friends got something going on, good. bad. neutral whatever.. but everyone got something going on.. it is great to hear this. ppl making choices every day. making changes every day. taking actions to realize their dreams every day. so all these made the world circulate. thats why this world is so dynamic and non-stop

    Rain. dont forget the dream that is deep down your heart.

    To myself.. sufferring is another way for you go grow stronger and bigger..

    They will come. they will passsssssssss

    Suddenly, love Lene Marlin's songs very much again......

    Moving on my life with less burden than before, too tired, my shoulders...

    Let me have more fun and relaxation.

    Reach out

    If our arms were reaching out
    If our words could only bridge the doubt
    Will we lose this chance again?
    Strange roads with different signs
    Don't even know where we divide
    Are you my enemy or my friend?
    
    'Cause I don't know you
    And you don't know me
    It's the same sun rising
    We all just look to the sky
    If we try
    We can work it out somehow
    If you don't know me
    And I don't know you
    How can we be fighting
    We're all connected it's true
    Reaching out
    It's only love that pulls us through
    
    We all grieve in different ways
    If one tear could wash away the pain
    We're all free to have the faith we believe, yeah
    The world sleeps at different times
    With one turn your day is now my night
    We all live sharing the air that we breathe
    
    Reaching out, reaching high
    Reaching out
    Touching you, touching me
    
    If your arms were reaching out
    If our words could only bridge the doubt
    April 17

    The journey

    All my space background songs deserve a place here. so enjoy!!!!
               
     
     
                       The Journey
                                        911
     
    Time waits for no one, sure as the tide pulls the ocean
    Sure as, the path that's been chosen, cannot be changed
    In my life's destination, I searched for the explanation
    For some kind of reason, for my sorrow and pain
    But in my isolation I learned to listen
    To be thankful for the love that I'd been given

    This is my journey, journey through life
    With every twist and turn I've laughed and cried
    As the road unwinds
    This is my journey, and I've learned to fight
    To make me strong enough, to lift me up, to bring my dreams alive

    In my desperation I swore that never again
    Would I hear all the laughter of my friends and my family
    A million tears that I cried then began to dry
    Silence of the night time I have come to realise that
    Sweet inspiration filled my horizon
    Gave me the heart to go on and never would give in


    I'm going love each moment, every day and every night
    I'll look back to the past with the sweetest smile
    For now I realise, I've been given the key to life
    I've been kissed by the angel by my side

    Next stop-Tin hau-my awesome HK and Macau trip

    Put more content tomorrow.
    As lazy as usual. i didnt update the entry until today which is Friday afternoon now..but anyway. all the good memories are still there in my head and probably will never go away...
     
    Visiting different places has been one of my biggest hobby.. HK and Macau. they look very asian or shall i say chinese? but when you acutally go inside the cities and experience things there. you feel like it is orient melts in the west or the other way around. i like the feeling of being in a melting pot. it is like a smaller version of the US...
     
    culture shocks are not always good.. i met some really shocking things in HK and Mac. i dont judge. but i feel like i pretty much accept everything. hehe..
     
    Dont know how to express myself. but i DO LOVE HKKK so much. it is to me the nearest place to Britain in the world. before my actual trip to England. HK has been a good compensation to me already.
     
    see all the awesome pics i took. guys, you are gonna like it.
     
    always love the song by Twins, Next stop-Tin hau. and this time i surprisingly found out that Tin Hau is a subway station in HK, suddently. the pun in the lyrics worked out...... NICELY done. girls..
     
    This is my journey. journey through lilfe.......

    Sh subway does not suck that much after all!--shockingly surprising!

    Lene Marlin's MTV < How would it be > on Sh subway's 3-D TV!!! can you believe that? Me. for sure. was overjoyed... for one thing. people know her (Lene is one of my favorite talented singers ) and show her MTV on TV here. for the second thing, it is Sh freaking subway. what more surprises are waiting for me? bring it on. baby@@@@!!!!!!!
     
     
       How would it be
     
                        Lene Marlin
    What have I done? 
    What if it's too late now? 
    Did I do all I could, did I? 
    Did I make it good, did I? 
    
    Somehow it doesn't feel right 
    Is it really all over? 
    Did I think it through, did I? 
    What if all I want is you? 
    
    And now 
    I won't see you again 
    The moment was there but we lost it 
    Time changed it all 
    And we let it 
    We let it happen 
    
    And now 
    I wonder how it would be 
    If things stayed the same and we liked it 
    The end of a search 'cos we found it 
    How would it be? 
    How would it be? 
    How would it be? 
    How would it be? 
    
    What have we done? 
    What if it's too late now? 
    Was it always like this, was it? 
    Was it something we missed, was it? 
    
    Somehow it doesn't feel right 
    Is it really all over? 
    Was it all it could be, was it? 
    Did I give you the best of me? 
    
    And now 
    I won't see you again 
    The moment was there but we lost it 
    Time changed it all 
    And we let it 
    We let it happen 
    
    And now 
    I wonder how it would be 
    If things stayed the same and we liked it 
    The end of a search 'cos we found it 
    How would it be? 
    How would it be? 
    How would it be? 
    How would it be? 
    
    And now 
    I won't see you again 
    The moment was there but we lost it 
    Time changed it all 
    And we let it 
    We let it happen 
    
    And now 
    I wonder how it would be 
    If things stayed the same and we liked it 
    The end of a search 'cos we found it 
    
    How would it be? 
    How would it be? 
    How would it be? 
    How would it be?

    Catch the tail of winter

    Edgy life goes on for over 1 month now. The old me has been changed a lot. I learned more about responsitility and boundary now. ( which i was fully aware of but didn't implement at all before. ) and whats more-teamwork. This job is totally project and team work oriented. without the commiunication flow. we wouldn't make it.
     
    Also about my company--- You rock and i am so honoured of working for you.... without you. i might still be a self-esteem
    freelancer. with a big dream but no stepping stones to go realizing it....
     
    Dont want to leave march blank. so i write this entry reminding myself to keep holding up. :)
     
     
    Tomorrow, they may change...
