starting to drizzle


踩高跷的花仙子~

花仙子出现后,不久便下雨了。
我们还没走完整个花展呢!
之前又是热到让人差点中暑,现在又下起雨来。。
唉!新加坡的天气还真的比更年期的女人还情绪化呢~

no choice,
better go home before the rain start pouring down.

facing up, flowers and me

un-urm, i didn't eat the pudding

sweat non-stop


my whole back is wet with sweat !!*_*!!

happy day~

Cute Baby Girl


haha! this baby girl is very cute~
she wants to come down and walk on her own, but her beardy dad just doesnt let her.
she becomes angry and starts wriggling.

and......still in vain

so she got a frustrated look on her face in the end.

shots taken


Daniel's fav is the purple orchid at the centre-bottom.

There is actually a "Magic Moments" photography competition going on here too.
i decide not to send in any entries, as there are so much better ones taken by those pros!

cheerful sunflower


haha! this pic is a bit awkard.
looks like my head is "floating" in the air.
ghostly~~

getting ready


getting my cam out~
the sun is really blasing today!! so hot!
bro is very happy, as a bright, hot day means perfect day for shooting.

such a touture for me to part with my umbrella
but no choice... as i cant hold umbrella and take pics at the same time.

hmm, maybe someone can invent something to solve such a prob.
surely that person will be able to earn big bucks~

Sentosa Flowers 2006



off we go to take some nice pics at sentosa, which is now adorned with a splendour of over a million perfect blooms.

the sentosa leaflet says that "it's truly a feast for the eyes and a colour-drenched delight for photo hunters everywhere, with quirky floral sculptures, delightful arrays of exotic flora and stunning thematic flower displays at every turn..... " and blah blah blah...

so we are moved. Also eager to try out the new lens's power~ =D

hope the place is as beautiful as it is advertised

Steamboat tonight

i wake up early in the morning, doing the last min spring cleaning.
then i realized how much rubbish i had accumulated through the years.

it feels great to throw away things, especially the school documents. it makes my files so thick and take up so much space! 想丢又不敢丢; i dare not throw away those cos i am afraid that i may have to refer to it again one day... but 1 year had passed, and i found that i didnt even touch them at all!

Hence, throw ba~
dispose them all away~ yeah!
房间再次空荡整齐起来,感觉真好!=D


we are having steamboat tonight! invite godmom and family to come for the reunion dinner too~
we are already busy preparing the cooking ingredients in the afternoon le.
mom takes charge in preparing the base soup, and pre-cook some of the dumplings,
while me washing and cutting vegetables, and wrapping the presents for games.
this made me think of the korean drama "大长今";
so much effort in preparing a meal which finished in no more than half an hour.

well, i am sure today will last for more than half hour~ with the chitchat, and games in between~
hohoho! today i am the host for the game~ ^_^

and i made the most awesome steamboat sauce~ 沙茶酱
hehe! from Le Papillon's secret recipe
with that, everyone will definitely eat more loh~ =)

we have Jacob Creek wine after dinner, which will then mark a perfect finish for the night~

everything is ready, waiting for the door bell to ring now


=)

離人

銀色小船遙遙晃晃彎彎,
懸在絨絨的天上
你的心事三三倆倆藍藍,
停在我幽幽心上

你說情到深處人怎能不孤獨;愛到濃時就牽腸挂肚
我的行李孤孤單單散散,
惹惆悵

離人放逐到邊界,仿佛走入第五個季節
晝夜亂了和諧,潮泛任性漲退,字典裏沒有春天

離人揮霍著眼淚,迴避還在眼前的離別
你不敢想明天,我不肯說再見。。。


有人說
一次告別,天上就會有顆星
又熄滅

a surprise gift

What does it mean when a guy sends a gal an old bear?

He said that he found it while cleaning his wardrobe the other day, it was in there for nearly 1 year, didnt know what to do with it, hence send it to me. He apologized for the plastic bag for being a bit dusty, and even said that i can toss it away if i dont like it.. so strange...

then why send it to me in the first place? and without informing me first also.

then i recall... that i missed a delivery parcel some days ago, have not ask it to be re-send again, nor go down to post office to collect it too. I totally forgot abt it le..
Maybe that was from him ba.

he bought other gifts for me before, but i returned almost all of them.
especially the expensive ones.
he should know clearly already...

why he suddenly send me the bear now after 1 year?

what shall i do?
i dont want to jeopardize our friendship..


what shall i do?

1 more new lens



ZD 50-200

f2.8-3.5 ED

When is the next outfield? ^_^

seen and being seen

今天又跑去 orchard road 撒钱了。
Zara is on sale now~
今天便过去看了看。
果然,我仍旧去得太迟了。好看的没我的份,难看的就算再便宜,我当然也不愿意买。
最后,买了一条没打折的皮带。另外还买了一条项链。

尔后,碰到了一个不愿碰到的人,我不想再和他的家人有任何瓜葛,包括仅仅几秒的视线接触。。
擦肩而过时,他的表情似笑非笑,扬着一边的嘴角,目光毫不避讳地向我扫射过来,锐利的眼神让人觉得很不自在。在他的身后好像跟着一位体型高挑瘦削的女生。但管他的呢,不关我事。

也不知道究竟为何,
经过他后,我仍头也不回地大步往前走,只希望能赶快离开他的视线范围。

他,有回头吗?我不知道……但我希望他有。。
我希望他看到的是,我和他擦身而过后,头也不回的不屑和潇洒。

giving up

godbro 打了个电话给我,说他决定放弃了。
当初是我鼓励他去勇敢追求的,但自看过那女孩本人后,便觉得他们之间是还有一大段距离的。

爱情有如葡萄酒,需要的不单是努力与等待。
对爱的追求,仿佛酿制葡萄酒的分分秒秒,每一步骤,他都做得尽善尽美。只是他面对的,是对他没有丝毫爱意的女子,仿佛没有酵素的紫红液体,无论怎样尽力,都不能酿出一杯醇美香甜的红酒。

希望我一席开导的话,能够让他感到舒坦些。

不知为什么,我想起了这首歌,喜欢两个人。
好几年前的仲夏夜里,我常常听着这首歌,想着第一个向我表白的男孩

Friday, January 06, 2006

luckily...

原來他不是木頭啊…
原來他是心有所屬的。。
沒經驗,不開竅,超害羞原來是個障眼法
總是讓在他身邊的女人和女孩包容地為他的怪異行爲作解釋

還好,我和他之間什麽都不是。

Wednesday, January 04, 2006

wow... D200

Just get to know that it is so expensive.

but i am satisfied with what i have now.

=D

a bad day

唉,今天真衰。
开学才第二天啊!哪来那么多东西要做呢?好烦人啊


放学搭巴士回家,ez-link卡居然不能用了!里面还有10多块啊!
零钱又不够,还得在巴士上借散钱。。 =(

回家后,想说好好先睡一下,
家里没人在,我又没带钥匙,可能弄丢了吧。。。。
唉,被锁在门外,有家归不得。

今天又下大雨,好冷

tearing from 2005 to 2006

afternoon, godbro bring a girl whom he like for quite some time to let me see.
a nice and pretty girl; small frame, big eyes, fair complexion, very long straight hair, soft and gentle voice, the type of girl whom asian guys generally will like.

haha! unlike me, still behaving like a tomboy; 大嗓门、讲个话比手划脚。like mom always says:"一点都不 “幼秀”(taiwanese dialect)" =p

well, think there is a long way ahead before the girl agrees to be his girlfriend. good luck to him. ;)



~~~~~

was intending to go for some count down activities this year.
never been to any before, some said it was tiring, as there are lots of pple, and very hot and noisy too. however, regardless of whether it is fun or not fun, at least they had the experience before..
kind of regretted rejecting frds' invitiation to a countdown salsa party at chijmes last year.

however, sometimes, good things just dont happen twice. when you missed it, you just cant have it back.

as usual, as every last day of every year, i stay at home.

after we had our dinner, i watched taiwanese drama "中国媳妇系列 之 哑巴新娘"(the mute bride) vcd with mom, while my brothers play computer games. It is such a sad story, mom and i cried many times during watching it.

when i looked at the cookoo clock again, it was 2006 3am already!

哈!不自觉地从 2005 哭到 2006。


Wednesday, December 28, 2005

our promise

阿妈,不要哭,时间其实过得很快,明年假期很快就到了,我们就又可回来陪你们了。。

阿公,不要忘记我们的约定哦!
照顾好身体,勇敢对抗病魔
明年,阿公要带着我再一起去吃好吃的料理哦!

加油!加油!

better & faster than FedEx

Told 怡萩 that no need to hurry.
They can always give it to me again the next time i return to Taiwan.
However, they came to kaohsiung city again, after their work.
all the way to deliver the present to my doorstep.

haiz... so paisei


将近4年了,今天坐上了摩托车,老爸载着我去买CD。
好久了哦!早都忘了坐摩托车的感觉了。
戴上安全帽,拉上夹克的拉链,双手抱着老爸那熟悉的大肚子,顶着呼呼冷风,在大街小巷中穿梭。嘻嘻!感觉新鲜又刺激。

Alex's birthday

Alex生日,我们一起去庆祝咯!
去到凤山那里,吃99元吃到饱的火锅+烤肉。那家好像叫做“强强滚”吧。呵呵!那里连生意也如其名;强强滚唷。
回到台湾,什么大饭店的精致餐点等,虽然爷爷和爸爸总喜欢带我们去吃,其实那些都不是那么的吸引我,但又不好意思拒绝他们的一片好意。
嗯,还是比较喜欢小吃;有特色、又便宜
吃到真的捧肚子
冬天围着吃火锅,真棒





过后,走回车上,因为时间晚了,为节省时间,女生们便决定在车头就地解决“庆生仪式”。
哈哈!俗称唱生日歌、吹蜡烛、许愿并切蛋糕。
但选的地方也真绝啊!车子就停在提款机前,所以我们在车头前的一举一动全程都被录得清清楚楚的。呵呵!Alex 直说很丢脸。但一男怎么对三女?当然坳不过我们。哈哈!男生不好意思地样子真好玩。




回到家已经非常晚了。急忙下车时,还忘记把Alex送我的礼物拿下车。
唉!都长这么大了,怎么老是忘东忘西,永远少根经。

music link at the side bar

Try creating a music link, "la musique j'écoute", at the side bar.
And i succeeded~ hohoho! =D
it is considered as an achievement for a computer handicap like me. =p

From now on, i will upload and share some nice music from time to time.

介绍的第一首是70年代红遍欧陆的法国老歌:Les Champs-Elysees (香榭大道)
Joe Dassin 的嗓子也许不是最好的,但他在这首歌里,对歌曲意境的掌握绝对是一流的。

我本身还没去过香榭大道,那就借由这首来感受一下在那儿漫步时浪漫写意的氛围吧~ ^_^




meeting up with Jiahui

晚上和家慧去新掘江,去吃晚餐,聊聊天,逛逛街。
提醒自己不要再买东西了,这几个星期下来的开销不小,但看到好看的东西还是忍不住买了;这次没买给自己,而是买给老弟们,一人一件休闲上衣。

在bossa nova餐厅吃完晚餐后,便一路逛到城市光廊。
半年前来的时候,因为下雨,所以没什么气氛。
今天不同啦!人,可多着呢!~~ ^_^
我们在 outdoor cafe 喝着咖啡,看看人,吹吹冷风,感受烛光气氛,嘻嘻!还蛮不错的~





如同上次,我又没带三脚架了,照的照片依然像灵异照。但有了vibration reduction,比起上次,这算有进步了。





这张“灵异照”还真是千古难逢,不知当时怎么照的,居然人物清楚,但光却如同一道道的光流。



the trees beside the outdoor cafe are decorated with cards with well wishes and lights.

Pple write down their wishes for 2006 on cards and hang it up there.


haha! spot something in this pic, the passerby behind us dress and stand almost the same as us~ 真巧~

this year's xmas is a memorable one, filled with joy and laughter.

i cant stop smiling whenever i look at the photos taken today =)

小红豆与她的食物


She follows wherever the paper bag goes.
Cos inside got her food and snacks~ =)

smile~

Yiqiu, Me & Little Red Bean


Good friends act alike; we started wearing the things we bought yesterday correspondingly.
hehe! just cant wait to use newly bought stuff~
She is wearing her new earring and shiny silver-pink belt.
Me wearing the yellowish jeans.


在这片草皮上,除了狗狗们之外,他是我发现的唯一用四肢行走的人类代表。哈哈!别看他小不点一个,他也跟着人家玩得不亦乐乎呢~ =p

There are many other doggies too

在文化中心,还有好多其他的狗狗哦。。
天气暖和了,大家都带宠物出来走走呢

在草地上,大狗、小狗们互相追成一团,
呵呵!好好玩哦~ =D

它们都跑得好快,我照的几乎每一张都是模糊的。只有这张还算可以。

Me sure will miss Little Red Bean after returning to Singapore

Performing tricks


呵呵!好可怜哦~
为了吃那一口狗饼干,小红豆真是历尽坡折~ =p

Little Red Bean~ Woof!


Alex and 怡萩 came to join us at the cultural centre not long after.
And they brought along their 小红豆!
hehe! it is so cute~~ and getting cuter each day~
and it learned many more tricks compare to half year ago~ so clever~
there is 1 thing as usual, it is still very fond of food
呵呵!仍是一只贪吃的小红贵宾~ ^_^


here are the tricks it knows currently:
1) 拜托 (when asking for food =p )
2) 握手 (shake hand)
3) 换手握手 (change hand to shake hand)
4) 坐好 (sit)
5) 立正 (standing on 2)
6) 趴下 (lie down flat on floor, with 4 legs stretching out)
7) 躺躺 (lie down side ways)
8) 食物摆在面前,听从指示她可吃时,她才吃 (listen for permission given to eat)


Alex and 怡萩 shows us the tricks at the parade ground. so fun~ =D
and when it runs, its reddish fur shines under the sun, what a cheerful and enjoyable sight~
Mom falls in love with little red bean at once~




I love dogs!


I love animals!~~



Cultural Centre

中正文化中心

Have Ourselves a Merry Little Christmas



原来今天心情好的不只有我而已,呵呵,就连天气也特别好,还出大太阳呢!
照得人都暖和起来~

吃过中餐后,充满内疚心情的老爸为了弥补不小心把我辛苦拍的照片洗掉的过错,推掉了和山友们一起去爬寿山的邀约,带我到中正文化中心去照鸽子。

呵呵!老爸有时还真的好可爱哟~~ 照片没有了,我也只难过了一下子,早已释怀了,他还耿耿于怀。他还记得我们开车经过文化中心时,我看到广场前面有好多鸽子,曾说过想来照鸽。今天好不容易有空,没上班,就自动说要带着我来啦~ ^_^

我们一路开心的来到广场,但。。。。
鸽子没半只。。。 连个影都没有 =(

承认是有些失望,但也没办法
不过没关系,那么就照人像吧~

帮老爸和老妈照了几张特写,嘻嘻!我还帮他们设计姿势呢!
仿佛在拍婚纱照一般~ 哈哈!

爸爸喜欢玩相机,还记得小时候时,我们常常来这里照像呢~
再次重游,手痒的老爸也跟我照了几张留念 =)

Step into Xmas! ~out for lunch~



It's Xmas today!! ^_^

merry xmas~ merry xmas~ and a happy new year! *singing*

hehe! me already in very good mood the moment i wake up~



we went to 中信飯店 for lunch~

明蝦球 and 香檳排骨
it is a must whenever we go dine there!
today is a happy day! la la la la la~ ^0^

a friend should be on his way to thailand with his new superduper wide angle lens now. ^_^
bon voyage!

X'mas Eve 2005


Meet up with my taiwan friends, 怡萩 and Alex. And as we planned half a year ago, we went to KTV to sing our hearts out~~~ hehe!

this is the first time i go to 大帑殿 KTV with frds in taiwan.
The facilities, interior design and the food provided are so high class.
And one thing i love abt it is that the food is buffet style, we can take as much as we can eat, and there are so many varieties! Japanese, Chinese, Western food, snacks, and desserts~ hohoho!
Hence, when the others are singing, the rest can still be kept busy with eating and drinking~ ^_^

We sing till late evening, and we went to pick up a new frd. She is very funny and friendly. And the 4 of us went to 青年夜市 for dinner (steam boat), and started shopping there. phow... that place is loaded with people to the extent that i dont even feel cold at all. I took off my jacket and hold it in hand. Kind of troublesome, as it becomes a burdern hindering my agileness to shop le. should have left it in the car.

Dont ever under estimate the power when girls get together to shop~ ^_^
we bought many many many small stuff! from accessories, fashion clothings, trendy sunglasses, to shiny belts and etc! but it was fun~~ and Alex becomes our "movable hanger", carrying our trophies from the night market warfare.

After shopping, we went to 怡静's house to try the jeans we bought, see if it fits as we cant try on the spot. This is the pic taken after she tried on hers~

We laughed so loud at her too exaggerate pose =p

one whole day at 漢神 dept store

Just reach home from cinema.
"The promise" (無極) is disappointing.
The story is simply ridiculous. For those of you who are planning to watch, my suggestion is that you can save the money, wait and watch the vcd will be good enough.

Phew, today i spent a lot..
quite a lot...
Besta CD-826 pro and a leather handbag from Cowa ( 誠品旁的一間皮革店) as a x'mas present for myself ^_^
hehe! but it feels great~

SONY DSC-R1


Went to camera shop with dad today, and saw this camera.
Haiz... only if i could wait a little longer to buy camera....
I will sure choose this over Nikon 8800.
and this cybershot does not cost as much as the 8800. sob sob....

Heart dripping blood *_*

大樂透 Lottery


I never buy any lottery before, cos i always feel that i dont have such luck of winning money~
However, now the money accumulated to 12億台幣 (singapore $60,000,000)!
hoho! this isjust too tempting! Even the Japanese invested 600,000NT in buying this. if i dont join in the fun, it will be too 对不起自己 la!

Wish us luck! ^_^/

Today's Lunch


We went to Lemon Grass Restaurant (檸檬香茅) for lunch~
It is similar to the Japanese small steamboat, shapu shapu.
Everyone will have his own pit in front for cooking.
hehe! this is what i odered for myself.
No problem! Me going to finish this whole plate~ ^_^

i attempted the 2nd time, try moving as slowly as possible behind it, so as not to make it too nervous, and hope it look into the direction of the camera.

Hence, i gave up le, scared that it will scratch me~ =p
