Since there are quite some turmoils lately in South East Asia, it ceased to be a safe place to travel to. I’ve always wanted to expose to Gordo a different part of China like Yunnan or Tibet,so I suggested taking a few days to Lijiang.And today’s SCMP has the report:”Bomb at a western cafe in Kunming yesterday”, additional info “In june 2 bus with people inside were bombed in kunming”.
Oh no~~
God please let us come back alive and intact…
We sent Xiao Tan to Mom’s today.The house is much quieter now.

A bit cold today. For once in the morning it dropped to 10′c. Went to hospital to ask for a “stronger” medicine for my burning throat and potential flu. Doc sent me away with 5 kinds of medicine and:”Here…everything…one of them ought to work.”
Yeah and then again I am having fun with all these antibiotics…
Got the sample from the pattern maker later in the afternoon, and wow, I do believe this is the one. We’ve found our Mr. Right.

Sunday Morning Walk

Took a healthy long walk in Clifford on Sunday morning…

Its so beautiful it’s almost like a dream…

The Korean doughnut store, where Gordo and Mira each had one and we rested a bit.

cute apartment overlooking the lake. They pass out a “vacation feel” especially in summer days. I cannot NOT look at it every time I pass by.

We were talking about how the fruit of every flower taste. As children we’d dig around in the bushes sampling all sorts of nameless seeds and flowers. We still remember their taste, colors and shapes. There was a lot of fun in the world of no-snack.

The back

Since this one is not Gordo’s first choice and was left out in the “collection”, I’d just post it here because I like it. There is an artistic touch+I always like my back more than the front…

May got me a ticket to Raffles 08 graduation fashion show. This year it was held in the Westin’s.
I was running late for the show and missed the beginning of it.
I had a bad place and brought a bad camera with me. It is a much bigger show compared to last year and Mark is just the same–the way he ran from backstage at the end of the show saying:”I fucked up…I fucked up!!!” And actually the way we see it , is always superb work.

I love the stylelines on this one…

This was a fun collection, but I’ve seen people dine it before.

In fact this year there is a “student model” section. Some designers wear their own stuff on stage.

Met lots of friends and classmates like Herina, Yen, Victoria, Doreen, Cherry(B cup),Jimmy, Zen, Sarah etc ect. And there are quite some new faces too.
Hugged everybody and left. Short and sweet.

Made Gordo’s China visa again today…half a year just flew by.
It was a close call. I bought 2 tickets leaving on Dec26th, and it takes 5 working days to process the visa, which means if we don’t get to present our paper today, (and have the passport back on the 25th),our trip is pretty much f**ked.
We had our number in the afternoon–thanks to me being extremely agile and fast haha..
Not easy though—left in the morning at 7:30 and came back at 5:30 in the afternoon. Long day.

Last year December I was listening to it time after time, and now again I am intoxicated by it.

For the whole last week Gordo’s partner in Brazil had come and stayed with us.
Since biz is slow we had some relaxing time. We started to go over good movies in the nights and here is one that I watched again and loved even more this time around.–”Once.”
What surprised me is our friend here, after listening two times of the theme song”falling slowly”, he managed to play it on my piano. What’s more surprising to me is that he never even learned to read music sheets. Talk about born talent…
Was a good week in general, some home-cooked meals, some going-outs, of course we had that little hospital episode that in the end turned out quite good too.(Do not forget Clifford hospital is our entertainment club…).
Things are going so slow. Today I bought 2 tickets to go to Yunnan after Christmas.
