The sun goes round n round

Gonna live just for today
Gonna sing just for today
Freedom
Freedom
Tell me how to feel today
Tell me how to live today

Chinatown under a warm and fuzzy sunset


Interesting street ensemble


Green is climbing up the wall


GS Food, 24h open. But we're not fresh obsessed like Dominion.


UT Medical Sci. Building - the triple helix and a lonely bike


Silver lining when the sun is blind


ps. my sunshine


Bored at dawn no.1 - Strength!! Lethargy!!


Bored at dawn no.2 - The hand holds a sleeping bird


Bored at dawn no.3 - In the neighborhood is a flowerless tree


Camouflage in starry cafe


See you, Toronto!


O, o ~
I gotta say love will find a way ~

LOVE PSYCHEDELICO - Golden Grapefruit

下载到啦!激动ing,可惜这个时间看不到Jady的踪影,不然要用1000分贝的声音在gtalk上吼“拿到CD了没有??!!” 这张专辑是LP出道来的第一张原创专辑。我最近才反应过来original album是说以前的3张专辑里都有翻唱。。。 是哪几首呢?(Jady去调查吧!>.<)

风水

最近开始不顺了,上来问mochi看风水。。。
结果又是恋することしか出来ないみたいに - 友情也许会进展为爱情
靠!

请保佑我顺利申请到工作签证,
还要保佑我能把所有家档都塞在两个箱子里带走(现在的局势很不妙啊!!!)
然后能尽快找到房子
然后能快些安居

是不是要求太多了
第一个是命啊!

The point of keeping in touch

is NOT to have false or outdated impressions on each other

me,
So you're in your honor year sort of. Congrats on making honors! You must be really interested in research eh? All the way to PhD ~~~ Don't get permanent head damage lol. Sorry for my lame joke.

xx,
haha...it seems the liberal education in canada is doing a great job in changing you..this is the first time i hear you telling a jobe, let alone a lame one.. :p

Fuzzy Busy

While I was walking on the street today, 'the warm and fuzzy feeling' quote jumped in my mind. Jady, ET! What the heck is that?

I permed my hair. It shouldn't sound shocking but since I didn't change my hairstyle a single bit over the past years it becomes significant. 'For the future' they say. Right now I look like a wild lioness. I told the hairdresser not to curl it too much. Tiny waves will do I requested but well, it never turned out the way I expected. I'm waiting for the mess to tame.

So while my hair was stealthily 'reorganizing' themselves, breaking and making new disulfide bonds between collagen fibres, the hairdresser was kind enough to offer me magazines to kill time. Here's a funny anecdote I read regarding 'the railway track.'

The rail width is 1.453m by standard (or is it 1.452? Sorry, short term memory) except for a few countries like Russia. The reason it's internationally 1.453m-lly set was because of the Brits who made the first train and thereafter everybody followed them. And why do the Brits choose 1.453? They followed the standard of wagons with wheels set apart by that width. So what happens to the wagons? Turned out the wagons are tailored for streets in Roman period. Finally the streets! The Romans made it that width to facilitate war wagons in quick combats. It's just nice for 2 horses to pass through! So the punchline is, 1.453 = the width of 2 horses' asses side by side -.- mystery solved.

Next time you're on a train, remember you're riding on 2 horses' asses.

Booked my flight on Sat, June 30th. Yin ying says 'my end of June is literally end of June'. Still I'm not prepared. Guess I'll never be prepared, the way I'm never prepared for any exam or test. Time is not the key. Why not just plunge right in and see what happens.

And for Rogers/Fido users, a piece of info on changing your phone no if you move to another province. They give you a new number for free. It's only a call away.

为别人而画



送走了这张湖边小宅的水彩画原稿,犹豫着要不要签下自己的名字,赠某人等等的字样。但毕竟不是为了索画的人而画的作品,还是不要了。说实在那是刚学水彩时的第二张练习作,老师说“奇怪,你的房子没有房顶。”。画湖面倒影的时候因为颜色太深用清水洗了一遍再上色,悬梁柱子的倒影起初没有留白,是后来用湿了水的纸点去颜料才有的效果。大费周章已失自然,是败笔。一直觉得水彩画比起油画的高深处在于即兴。抓住感觉了不要抹第二遍。胆小的人大概画不好水彩,我觉得我就很婆婆妈妈。

贴个LOVE LOVE的广告上来
Ariel: Love
Note: Ariel is a marketing line of laundry detergents made by Procter & Gamble.


Agency: Del Campo Nazca Saatchi & Saatchi, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Creatives: Gaston Bigio, Jonathan Gurvit, Natalia Gioiosa, Pato Gómez, Gabriel Huici, Jorge Ponce Betti, Ignacio Zuccarino, Daniel Fierro
Director: Martin Hodara
Production: Palermo Films

Youtube上有不少井上雄彦为資生堂(SHISEIDO) 做的广告,真的很有意思。记得他的画册后有段自叙大概这么说的“从高中时候就一直不停的画,书桌上,课本里,作业纸,一直这么画到现在三十几岁。很简单但又快乐的一生。” 佩服!

Mochi says,
恋することしか出来ないみたいに - 友情也许会进展为爱情
?真的有桃花运的话也不错?

面对眼前的新生活有些不知所措,对未知世界有些怯弱。

现在买衣服也是很痛苦的在挑上班族服饰,以前觉得不会在自己衣橱里出现的衣服现在都要换种眼光重新打量过。什么时候才能顺利成章,需要多少时间和自我暗示,现在都还不知道。

不过有一点很肯定,现在急需大幅度武装自己,慢慢培养自信。

I should make Google map my homepage

I was looking through the house rental adverts. I'm completely ignorant of any street name or location in Vancouver and had to consult Google map multiple times, so multiple I feel compelled to make it my homepage from now on. Where is downtown? Why is BC split into several islands? The streets are so well divided they look like my eppendorf tube storage box with miniature squarish wells that mark their own private territories. O well Vancouver, where am I?

I managed to coax a treat from Gang who got her magnificent pay roll this month (and the last as well). We went to the Thai restaurant nearby, ordered special martini and hallmark pineapple fried rice.

(I haven't written in English for so long it feels alien to me! Will let photos speak instead)

The dining table under 6'oclock sun.


The bomb! Grenade! with 5 tiger prawns buried in thick rice topped with meat floss. (5 is an invariable exact number, no more no less)


Desert after dinner. A frozen layer of coconut cream? on top of green jelly. Here is what it looked like in flesh and blood. There were 4 in a plate but you only see two coz we were chewing up the other half.


And after...


Laying back in my chair, watching through the glass as Gang dutifully wrote the bill.


Some photos I took when my family visited Niagara. There's a lovely botanical garden beside the parking lot.


The exact same oily plant we grew in our lab...


Touch-me-not was begging for my gentle caress ^____^


Zhu discovered mutant cherry!!Siamese twins that look like PG (you could venture a guess on what PG stands for).


And I got Jane Hirshfield's 'Given sugar, given salt' for only ONE DOLLAR!!! My excitement was spearing right through my skull when I saw it lying there on top of a stack of stale books. Just lying there as if waiting for me!! Alrite, so here's my superstitious nod to the 'mochi fortune cookie' in the sidebar. It's a stupid enough 'click on me and see which song you should listen to today'. I made up all the predictions myself yet I still fall for it! Jady abused Mochi multipe times a day and I just had to turn a blind eye. I was actually triple clicking him yesterday. Here were the results,

Anywhere - 近阶段有点彷徨
Right on, now is the turning point

A crown - 本周也许会犯下愚蠢的过失,但没有什么严重后果。
Found a chronological mistake in my resume, corrected it and sent back to the company.

High speed special one day - 最近运气很不错!
ONE DOLLAR!

Today, mochi said
永遠を駆け抜ける一瞬の僕ら - 朋友感情和睦

啊。。。

5点半起床,把父母送到机场看到他们出了安检门后再坐地铁回来。早晨8点,人行道在赤裸的太阳光下刺眼发亮。

要一个人过日子了,是真正意义上的开始创业生活,果然还是心里跳跳的。

现在是格外兴奋,格外恋旧,格外害怕的季节。

不能再做自私的人了,得有个样子啊。

It was all very perfect









"We get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more. perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless."
- Paul Bowles (American Author)

Milestone #1

Greatest day ever!

It's the first time in 3 years of my university life that I finally get to see Mr. President, Mr. Chancellor and Mr. New College Dean. 3 cheers to UofT!! My friends, my family, 3 years of education through struggle or idleness. Thank you all! Thank you for all the accidents and randomness that make me stand here today as a graduant of UT 2007. It's truly unimaginably remarkable and sweet ~

Haha!

太棒了,终于如愿以偿量身定做了模板。Jady一针见血的说,你是玩minimalistic style玩到底了。就是这样,这个月开始以简约派为傲!

非常喜欢A crown晦涩的感觉,“好像会有什么发生又感觉什么都不会”,在好奇与惰性的无限循环中白马过隙。嘲笑自己如此随波逐流,懵懵懂懂的走了好长一段路。头顶冒冷汗,冒蒸汽,冒出一顶亮闪闪的皇冠,刺眼的不得了。

顺便一说今天大扫除,现在的房间也是minimalistic般无比干净。把大学三年的笔记统统塞进塑料袋里打算送去废纸回收。掂一下也有十来公斤,原来那么重。看到自己写的实验报告小得意了一下再丢掉,看到molecular biology那一门没好气的把文件夹整个肚肠扯了出来扔掉,看到拉丁语那一门发现五花八门的小抄一份觉得可爱就留下来了



昨晚拍的9点左右的停车场一张,天边的云让人无比憧憬。



最近作息一塌糊涂长了一头苞,父母亲大人今天要来看到我这脸不知是何想法=D

Happy B-day mochi!



quick sketch, sorry about horrible infidelity

NOODLE更新了!才怪。。。

NOODLE

打开界面,狂喜!!(只不过是换了背景图片)猴急click绘图区,啥也没加啊!

NOODLE大人。。。您的图呢T.T

不过看到最新日记“懐古趣味”里两张照片觉得应该是个不错的地方。

最后yy一句,NOODLE不管是名字、绘画创意还是日记都觉得他是个好可爱的人啊!现实生活中能做朋友就好了XD

Poses

The opening piano melody of 'Poses' is a painting of someone strolling idly in a Chinese garden. Aged and languid.

搬家

靠,学校的网址好像已经废了,我还没来的及在旧址打广告REDIRECT它就给我废了。都不通知一声,残酷的UT。要是别人网上做生意的怎么办(呃,其实是被禁止的)

新地址如下,再次感谢Jady。不好意思,我以后每次提到这个地址一定会credit you,所以做好准备听我感谢到你耳朵生茧!

翻新了很多次这次比较彻底,其实在整理资料之余,我更沉迷网页设计。不过这次是认认真真翻新了内容。

得知侄女8个月了,名字叫戴默涵。对嫂嫂说,这也太淑女了吧!!莫汗、莫汗。。。

贴张宝宝的玉照上来



好在有种说法是“女大18变”,要不淑女的期望还是提早打消为妙。

chinatown那家cibc我经常去,印象很深的是一个刺猬头小胖,打着领带穿竖线条的衬衫跑来跑去。看的出应该是业绩不错的上司。前天去的时候发生了点小动乱,有个印度欧巴桑说着说着就叫嚷起来,似乎是因为银行收了她手续费她很不满,最后变成甩着拐杖破口大骂,然后怒气冲冲的就往门外走。站台的几个职员(都是温柔小姐来着)很尴尬无奈的面孔,这时!小胖冲出来了,不,应该说他一直追到门外拦住了欧巴桑,不知使了什么甜言蜜语把她气消了又请了回来。然后听他一脸真诚的说“Any problem you just tell me ok? That's what I'm here for. Service charge? No problem, I'll take it back. Don't worry ok? Any qualms or complaints I'll settle them for you. That's my job.” 欧巴桑终于平静下来开始说人话了(注:之前破口大骂时说的是印度话,现在起开始说大多人都听的懂的英文)

当时我觉得挺了不起,leader就该这样,让职员觉得自己能做的更好。

上个月email给家里的两幅画,我爸偷偷拿去给艺术学院的老师咨询。我说,打住,你每次都说给谁谁咨询,还不都说好话。老爸回,不,你搞错了,他知道我女儿学的生物化学,我这次假装说“有个家长的小孩子想报考我们学校艺术学院,想咨询一下。”汗,老爸真有你的!So据那个老师说我适合平面设计和动漫设计。平面设计我可以理解,动漫是怎么回事?记得我寄过去的那几张画一张是水彩,两张是广告创意没有动漫呀! OTZ 理解不能。

想了一下觉得那个老师的意思是我的画很商业化,是不是该加强点“古典画”练习。。。

THE TWIN PARADOX

双子之谜

土星绕的晕头转向时,
偷走他的救生圈!
在海王星的浪头里,
快乐的摇晃。

摇啊摇,
晃啊晃,
空气里弥散着,
维纳斯金色的茶香。

下一站该去哪儿逛?

糟糕!
时间不早!
赶忙以光速回归
南极的机场

昨日的我从远处
一瘸一陂的走来
用布满皱纹的手
抚摸着光滑的脸庞

我来接你了

I'm not an imposter

Truth can't be told. Withhold. Care not what others think. Your time will come.
