SUMMER 2010 HERE I COME

My summer internship at WaggEd officially ends today. My mentor, Grace, took our team of 5 people out for my goodbye lunch. 时间说快也不快说短也不短。吃午饭的我们有说有笑的 it was quite enjoyable. I don't know where I'll end up after I graduate, but I know PR is the career field I belong to and hopefully one day I'll get to see the members of Grace team again :) Thank you for all for being so kind to me during my stay. It was such a pleasure working in this team!

Nowwwww... my official summer 2010 long awaits mee. BB arrives on Thursday and then our backpacking China trip will embark shortly. I'm going to be the ultimate tourist...This means no blogging/facebooking till I return to Seattle! be ready for a gigantic update after I get back :)

what the humph

what i wanted reaaaaaally bad

what dad said he would buy and I came to compromise

what i got...

guess I'll just have to live with what I got. humph.

plus, i still got

what i love ;)

lost and found

why can't anything be simple?

when people's facebook relationship status turns into "its complicated" im always puzzled at the what could be so 'complicated' factor. you either love him or you dont.
but i suppose that would make things a lot less interesting and adventurous.

so far I would say my life has been rather smooth along the 21 years that has passed. from birth to school to college, up until now, my parents have been proud of me in how they have shaped me into an individual. but recently I felt I might have disappointed my mother in the relationship department. I hate to be stereotypical, but it is indeed, the Asian mother steppin' up coming into play to have a say in the guy that I've been dating for the past half year.

I'm lost in terms of what she wants me to do and this imaginary "white-horse prince" she wants me to own. I'm utterly speechless when she gave out the qualities of men that will "live up to my [her] expectations, or the whole "u deserve someone 'better' u know" [yes i know and i don't know]

spare me. please.

What I have found, is what IIIIII want. (MEE MEE MEE, not MOM MOM MOM) What must have gotten me is that Im not oh so perfect afterall in my mothers eyes. Im not trying to be rebelious and run off with my boyfriend and let my family disown me or anything. I just need time to help me find what I want. And in the mean time, I can't dwell on how she feels (at least for now).

when it comes down to you love him or not. it's simple - yes. or no. stop making it complicated. on the other hand I have to admit, complications make things more challenging and further testifies if lovers can pull through. well, bring it on.

compromise

-noun

a settlement of differences by mutual concessions; an agreement reached by adjustment of conflicting or opposing claims, principles, values, etc., by reciprocal modification of demands.

I won't change what I do that shapes who I am, but I am willing to compromise if you do so too.

纯洁的爱情

前两天我下楼的时候老爸在地下室看电影“十月围城”我没事也就跟着一起看。革命精神真的是惊人。为了隐藏孙中山的一个小时，带来了许多想要为社会贡献的平民。像谢霆锋演得一个拉车的贫穷小子（阿四）根本不知道革命会为中国带来什么，但是却一心一意的服从老爷和少爷的意愿。

一直对谢霆锋没有很强烈的好感，这次他摆脱了以往刷帅的形象，演技真的让我很震撼。造型中他是一个像骆驼祥子的人物。同样是没有过多文化的一介车夫，同样都有自己简单的心愿。他每次拉车经过，都会按一下车铃，让在照相馆里老板的女儿阿纯知道他在看她，心里想着都是她。 他深爱的阿纯是个坡脚，这对不完美的情侣让一段浪漫隐隐作痛。胆小的阿四不敢跟阿纯说，老爷帮他提了亲终于圆了他的梦。谢霆锋在诠释这些幸福的表情和剧情发展都让我领域到所谓单纯没有任何杂念的爱情。

阿四不断的重复这“过了明天就结婚”。但是他根本没活过与阿纯美好日子的明天。

谢霆锋在访问中说道：“这个角色是我‘抢’来的。因为只有相信爱情的人，才能演好这个角色”

现在社会中的爱情与以前不一样了。不再是单纯的“我爱你”，而这其中的“我爱你”还概括了“但是你要高，要帅，有钱，有能力，家庭背景要好，等等”

这一切都破坏了纯洁的爱情。

Friday Nights

Rex and the Potato Couple r my fav =)

给爹D做早餐吃

Over the weekend I thought instead of munching on the 500calorie/eggtart from KFC, I should make breakfast for my dad. It was. unsuccessful yet it wasn't total failure either. I have to defend for myself, that's because I didn't know where all the condiments are, the frying pan was so steep, and the spatula was too thin so it was hard to flip the omlette..so it didnt look or taste as perfect as I wanted it to be.
Evenso I think Daddy liked it (probably because there was spam in it that's all) . Although he kept critisizing what else could be added, deep down I know he appreciated it because he requested for a second one. =)
I shall continue to discover new recipes and improve on my culinary skills. People think it's unncessary to do all this, but cooking has gradually become a hobby of mine. and there's no other way I feel more happy than seeing the people I love eat the food I cook.

inspired.

i found a new role model to look up to today -
Venus Chan, WE Consumer Practice APAC Lead and smoking'hot mother of two kids.
That's my goal in 5-10 years...

never felt better

nothing is quite like the chill days here in beijing. comes home to already cut seedless watermelon and neatly folded laundry on the bed. skypes with the mother being warned to spend wisely while i was given a credit card. wakes up with no pimples when i check myself out in front of the mirror. gets sent off to work by my loving dad cuz he's sacrifacing his precious sleeping time to be my driver. grabs a 肉包子 with sweet soymilk to start off the day at work. gets owned at work cuz im still a noobie. feels frustrated but recovers from reading a email filled with xoxo. fixes my mistakes and completes given task despite going OT. walks 3 blocks to yashow - this is where all the observation happens. in previous summers i've gone through bus rides, subway rides, but never walk around the city absorbing a sense of BJ lifestyle on the streets. it's as hot as hell here but you can feel the level of comfort in how the chinese adapt to this loving city, including thinking they will never get hit by cars even when it's green light for cars. finally makes to my shopping destination alive and enjoys the fact that i haven't lost my bargaining skills, although they have deproved quite a lot. all the stress from bargaining then leads me to go sit down and do nothing - nail salon. yes. and let the painting begun =) medi and pedi ultimate cure. and then? well, barstreet is 1min away from me so time to ring up the girls for some drinks, catch-ups, and 串儿.
never felt better.

me on WE

AH LOOK! im on the WE webpage! haha way to feel special about myself here, i was so surprised to see this came up as my home page. WE takes pride in their interns and I take pride in being one too =]

hello from BJ

so it definately has been a while since i blogged.
ever since my mom and brother visited seattle, i've been busy touring them around. after they've left, i've been busy moving in the new apt. and then unpacking unpacking...shopping for new furniture...etc etc.
and then now here i am, at Waggener Edstrom office BJ, ready for a lovely wednesday! words can't describe how thrilled I am to be able to work in WE and learn more about the PR industry in China.
and most importantly, it feels good to be back home. summer 2010.

日剧疯

妈咪和弟弟来了

还没酒醒就一大早五点半爬起床去接机。
九点半两个人一直闹着想吃东西，但是饭官儿都没开门。熬到中午去吃了个佛饿。
弟弟闹着要去超级市场买零食。买了一堆的冰淇淋，薯片还有甜食。
现在两位各自在楼上和我房间里在熟睡。

happy bday 616 babies

and scarletttt. but i don't have a picture of her and her cake =(

懂得体会

以前在老爸车上经常会听到老到掉牙的歌觉得没什么好听的。
最近才发现只有老歌才是有灵魂的歌。
听到那英，王菲的歌都会有心痛的感觉。

可能是因为自己也长大了，懂得他们到底在唱什么了。

六月的雨真得让我很想抓狂。不过在这种天气下听听老歌还蛮好的。
反正就是不想为周五的考试温习就是了。

继续听歌。
