I'm a Sucker for British Accent Man

Sock Hoai and I went to watch "I love you Philip Morris" last week, a gay movie starred by Ewan McGregor and Jim Carrey. Then we realized, we both like Ewan (OMG! Like so much!) and we're actually suckers for British accent guys.

Give me a random British man, I just love the way they speak. Everything sounds SO elegant.

Even when Simon Cowell is being so mean!

Even when they're so old! I still think Sean Connery is the best James Bond, but of course, he's best when he's Indiana Jones's father.

Even when they went to prostitutes.... :S

Even his hair is getting lesser and lesser... Still sexy!

And of course, when it comes to a combination of British accent, sexy & handsome look and good singer, I melt...

But wait, I think there's one British man whom I might not think he's sexy and elegant...

Haha!

He's Coming Back Tomorrow

The Man is out of country for almost two weeks, and I have been pretty messed up for the two weeks too.

I've been having too much alcohol, too much caffeine, too little sleep, too much non-routine random life, too much junk food... And a lot of emotional ups and downs too. In conclusions, too much of not-too-good-for-you things, and too little of good-for-you things.

I've been feeling a little bit of lonely, and people around me suffer, because I get them to do things with me.

Finally, the Man is coming back to town tomorrow, and I think that's when everybody finally feels relieved, and I will get my life back to normal too!

Phewww...

Thoughts after Last Night

Sock Hoai and I chatted the whole night last night, until we saw the purplish light came out from the skyline telling us it's actually morning.

I told her my secret dreams, my frustrations, my weaknesses, my happiness etc... Some of the things, are things I've never told anybody, that I've never have the guts to admit them myself. (That's the problem when you chat for the whole night, and especially you've already had some alcohol)

I was told a few days ago, to do what I want to do when I'm still young because the courage gets lesser as you age.

To put it in another way, you're not doing anything fun and spontaneous anymore!

Talking to Sock Hoai had made me think of a lot of things that I want to achieve, but had not yet achieved, some of them are not even on the way. I realized how much more effort I have to continue to put in, before I die with regrets.

If you have purpose to fulfill, the Beings up in the Heaven will know, and they won't take you away before you achieve them! That's how I remind myself every now and then, so that I work towards what I want.

Ask yourself, if you're given a day to be spontaneous, and that you have nothing to lose, what will you do?

I'm feeling spontaneous now!

比赛

人，天生犯贱。没有“竞争者”在身旁，会渐渐变得舒适，懒惰。

“竞争者”来了，好胜心驱使下，加把劲，向前冲。

你猜，我现在身旁有没有竞争者？

1010101010

I'm officially 27 year old yesterday. And, I am not any wiser.

I happened to wake up at 10.10am on 101010. My alarm clock was snoozing crazily since 9.30am in the morning, I kept switching them off until I saw this magical code, 1010101010. Hence, I decided to wake up.

I just thought it's kinda fun. Like I told you, I'm not getting wiser, I realized, I'm still a kid who believes (chose to believe) Peter Pan is real.

I should probably be serious on listing down what I've done in 27 years of my life, and what I should do in the next 2-5 years. But unfortunately, I'm a bit light headed now, as I'm drinking a little bit of beer that Yee Hau bought to celebrate my birthday before he flew to Nepal.

The Man really knows how to surprise me when I least expected anything from his busy schedule. He was so busy preparing Nepal trip, I really never expected any celebration. It's not easy to organize a mission trip. What he did, although it's such simple gesture, moved me to tears. (It's really easy!)

I have got no candles, no birthday songs, but that are not what I need. My family, YH, friends and relatives have already made my day :)

I love the world!

Like Discovery Channel said, the world is awesome!

Let's carry on :)

刚刚把我相机里所有照片看了一遍，决定以这张来公布，我已经回来了。

我，人回来了，却把心，留在山上了。

Important Lessons from Yo-Yo Ma

Long ago...

2008

At the age of 55 (as of year 2010), Yo-Yo Ma looks young at his age. Browsing through his fans site and official website, it's not hard to notice, this great musician had not changed a lot throughout the years, except for the hairstyle and the spectacles.

I never interviewed him (DUH~), but through his numerous interviews, performances, videos, music, I have concluded one thing about his secret to stay young.

Be passion, stay young, never stop learning, and help others to success!

Be Passion
Needless to say, Yo-Yo Ma's music is one of the most fascinating ones. His passion was fully expressed in his work, and when you're in his live performance, the happiness from the music, filled the entire hall. That will bring you to tears, that will fill your heart.

This passion, I believe, is what that keeps him so young and happy, even at age of 55.

Stay Young
From his videos and interviews, I always imagine Yo-Yo Ma to be a playful person. Traveling around the world, knowing and giving young musicians advice, playing music with people from all walks of life, he always seems to be such a happy person.

Never fear of trying, I think is how he stay young at heart at all times.

Never Stop Learning
He's never content with just classical music. That's why, he explored tango, original soundtrack of a lot of block buster movies, Silk Road Project etc.

Never stop learning, keep going.

Help Others to Success
The most beautiful concert this year, will be Yo-Yo Ma & The Silk Road Ensemble. I love Yo-Yo Ma even more, and I discovered my love to another younger musician, Wu Tong too. Immediately after the concert, we were goggling about Wu Tong and found that he owed part of his fame, to Yo-Yo Ma.

In the concert back in April 30th, we could clearly see how Yo-Yo Ma gave the attention to Wu Tong instead of himself. Even though he truly 100% knew, 100% of the audience were there because of his name. But the center stage, was mostly given to this younger musician.

This selfless image of Yo-Yo Ma, had taught us to help others to success when you're already had enough of it.

So remember,

Be Passion at What You Do

Stay Young at Heart

Never Stop Learning

Help Others to Success

And you will stay young forever!

我与九寨沟——无缘

和姐姐盼了很久的九月份九寨沟之游，即将成为我们这趟旅游的遗憾。

去年，想去四川，但因为汶川大地震，心里觉得不好受，没去。可今年年头，我们定了下个月的机票，可是人算总是不如天算。近来，暴雨连连，很多地方都遭洪水破坏了，淹水，塌方。很多旅游的地方，都受影响。通往九寨沟的路线，也暂时关闭了。

原想去那里，学长曼玉“轻功水上漂”，也没有机会了。都江堰、黄龙、卧龙、九寨沟整条路线玩不成。乐山峨眉，好像也去不成了。

唯有重新做功课，计划另一条路线。（现在，四川新闻网天天上，关注气象和灾情路况）

看来，我们还是会再到四川，祢补去不成九寨沟的遗憾⋯⋯

Addiction

It's not too difficult to sink myself into waves and waves of addiction.

I've found a very addictive website, which I think it's too good to be kept for myself.
