Why does it always rain on me?


Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?



Love the moment when Fran jumped off the cliff, such a touching scene. The transition at the end was even more unpredictable to connect two different sequences. Nice, love it, love Travis.

It almost never turns out like I want it to, is it because I lied when I was seventeen? Sunny days, where have you gone?

Can not close my eyes tonight, just gaze that ripped poster the only thing you left on my empty wall—how have you been up to? Wish I knew how to quit you.

I am my own hairdresser

Please believe me!

You know how much it costs to have your hair cut here in New York? It's f---ing expensive if you wanna ask for a good stylist(who doesn't want to?), it might cost you over $100 dollars or heigher. Otherwise, try China town or flushing. That might be lower, about $45-60(Don't forget to include tips). Still so high for me that I came up with another idea. yeah~ got it? "DIY"!! It's not as hard as I supposed before. Do ya wanna try CH!UR hair salon?


To prove my debut.


well, not that bad, right?! (been hypnotized ^^)

Re-start


It was hot today.

Ponderings have been few and far between. Want to know why? It doesn't really matter. Suffice it to say I lost my way, for various reasons.

I had a nice trip to DC lately that reminded me how to see, feel, hear, experience, absorb, slow down and not to think. Also, it gave me a short and sweet glimpse of how things can be. But back to the daily routine, try as I might to hold onto those lessons, I couldn't. The contrast between known elements, between the two sides of the same coin became a bit overwhelming. I worry about my ability to dream AND do. There seems to be some rust on the gearworks (which is not necessarily a bad thing, I have an aesthetic appreciation for rust, but not when it brings the machinery to a halt from disuse).

Getting the ideas out of my head (however insignificant, the ideas I mean, not my head) is a start to making stuff again. The start, that's the hard part, getting past the inertia and excuses and challenges and just MOVING. Mark-making leads to drawing, drawing to painting, painting to painting on things, so of course then one needs to make/build/assemble/alter things to be painted on, and all the better if they whirl, spray, rattle, move about...

"Random displays of seemingly pointless activities..."

But as necessary to Life for some of us as food, water and air.

Have some limeade. It's hot.

[Cool pieces]

come on in...

Dan Perjovschi (Romanian, b. 1961), who lives and works in Bucharest, has transformed the medium of drawing, using it to create an object, a performance, and an installation. Witty and incisive political images, in response to current events. Project is on view at The Museum of Modern Art from May 2 through August 27, 2007.




Amazing idea. thanx for Stanley's share :-)

Global Warning Ready


Don't be hypocritical people.

Ironically, we were talking about the global warning in an air-conditioned classroom.

”‘Green is the new black’ already sounds passé, and the proverbial ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’ motto is cliché.”*1
Why do people so fret over global warning and come up with a bunch of solutions to separate glass from plastic? Yes, Yes! We have to do this and to do that, solution A and solution B. Yes, Yes! We can't use plastic bags anymore. I confess: as a graphic designer, I am part of an industry that encourages paper consumption. Nothing pleases me more than seeing my works scrolling across the printed page. Is it wrong of me, hypocritical of me, to promote sustainability when I earn my bread and butter in an industry so responsible for waste, energy and water consumptiom, and climate change? Probably. There are lots of ways to protect our natural resources—and designer are front and center in almost all of those efforts. Reference onto HOW magazine August, 2007.

Turn off the air-conditioner first, please.

Goodbye Manhattan



Dear Mahanttan...


I have made the choice to leave this amazing city for the cultural center—Boston. I will miss the 3:45 ambulance honking, the rude cab drivers, unreliable subways, blackouts, scorching summer, the roosevelt island(danm! Got a ticket there owing to drinking outside), the bryant park(...), and all my friends.

Thanks for making the last 14 months memorable! Onto the next adventure! Lobster, I am comin' for ya!

Hello Boston~

Architecture trip



A great architect Frank Lloyd Wright...see more
Kick-off my spring at this three-day extravagant trip to Pittsburgh. Where else can I experience great architures, KENTUCK KNOB, FALLING WATER constructed by Frank Lloyd Wright, and Andy Warhol Museum. Three places are really worthy to be there to see the REAL construction, so sophisticated. Took some pictures to share you all and yet not allowed to take inside of the building, which means you really need to go there by yourself!!

Anti-ministering-angel



A toast, a gulp, another toast...Fotop comes back
My forehead pounded, my stomach churned, every nerve shimmied—shimmied in a very unsexy way. I laid in silence, trying to come to grip with my imminent death, when snippets from the night before came back to me. Any thoughts of dizziness or hunger or fantasy disappeared the moment you turned round the opposite way.

As 2007 approaches


I simply can NOT believe that it is January 2007 already.
I simply can’t. It’s that simple: I am a one more step getting thirty something person and life is over as we know it!

OK, OK, it’s not that bad. Besides, I did get three weeks of work off and got to spend some time with my lovely lover, New York City. I know that it does not seem like the ideal place for a holiday but I always considered myself more of an urban maniac. Although I still couldn't watch the snow fall, it was around 50 degrees my entire vacation! Granted, I was extremely excited that I went ice skating with my adorable friends in Bryant Park. It was absolutely fun though I fell down three times and the crushed ice just stuck on my whole front overcoat. Yes, I was like a snowman and felt damn freezing at that time, but i wanna try it again or snow boarding one day.

Recently, I wanna upload some pictures on the Fotop site. I just couldn't get what on earth happened of the internet system, it was so hard to load a full chinese page. I was kind of losing all patience. Then I finally got the answer: Since the terrible earthquake happened around the new year, Internet connection from HK to other countries has been seriously affected, most optical fibers were broken. So, I may still have problem upload until the fibers are repaired.

WHAT? WHAT? WHAT?! can't believe it. Hope everyone hadn't been affected by the earthquake. And I am still waiting for the fibers repaired.

Time Square far far away



5 4 3 2 1 look the ball dropping, the audience cheering—Happy New Year—hug, kiss, laugh, and revelry then...

Wherever you were, my friends, I did believe that you were as happy as I was along with million of crazy, funny, and funky people in Time Square to celebrate this historical moment.

One of my New Year’s Resolutions is keep my blog updating in little more frequently. (Not to wait for two months). And I really, deeply, strongly don't want to stick with a pig anymore. Ha! I wish.


Rockefeller Center is so beautiful, isn't it?!
