I will miss you

 For those who gave me the incredible nights, and those who tried to meet up but could not...  I thank you for the amazing time I spent in Vancouver.

Love, much and much of it,

Unspoiled Monsters

Today marks the ending of In Cold Blood, another Capote work. I thought it might be a good time to update Xanga, since I have nothing else better to do. During the weekdays I usually sleep in until twelevish, occupy myself with some reading and eating. Then gym, shower, more reading. Maybe naps, maybe Oprah. Then I get to see people. Usually drink, or always drink, in or out. Maybe movies. Maybe get bored. Then I come home and read until I fall asleep while my contacts are still in and the lamp still on. That ends my day.

The ending of my day and the beginning of it, although both involves reading, are quite different for me. The simplest way to explain how I feel is when I read about Perry in In Cold Blood in the morning I have the urge to jolt his head and maybe swing a couple punches to the back of his head. When I read about him at night I just want to drink beer with him and maybe have a little chat by a fireplace. I ask myself why such difference in the perception of a single character? And two possibilities come to my head. One, I want to know him. Or two, I sympathizes him. But then I think really hard and something else comes up -- Maybe it is because I identify with his pompous and sociopathic ways. This is a voice in the back of my head that does not want to be heard. An answer I did not ask for.

Tall Tree went to Cuba.

As I am linking these photos I am trying to decide which is my favorite. My dad used to tell me that it is a sad thing that one can't determine favorites because it takes intellectual effort to reject other attainables. I don't think this applies to pictures, I think he meant other necessities in life. One cant have everything. Never. Having one favorite is enough.

Well then, favorite "sexy" photo (super difficult to choose, I am a pervert)

favorite "cute"

favorite "caught the moment"

and this, with much consideration, is THE best I thought

Been reading Capote's Answered Prayers - The Unfinished Novel,

and I quote,

More tears are shed over answered prayers than unanswered ones

unquote.

HA HA HA HA. Hey I get it.

I want Ono

Really really don't want to miss this~~ but i will...

5月2日 - 2007爵士周开幕式小野丽莎（Ono Lisa）演唱会

上海爵士周以这位传奇女子的演出作为本届爵士盛会的开幕大戏，这位出生、成长于巴西圣保罗的日本女歌手，从小在父亲经营的爵士俱乐部里耳濡目染，深得Bossa Nova的神髓。开幕式为下午2点开始。小野丽莎演出晚上7点半开始。票价：880元、580元、360元和180元。

小野丽莎个人介绍： 15岁拿起吉他唱歌。自1989年出版返回日本后的第一张专辑以来，小野丽莎从不以花俏和华丽的制作手法取胜，着重凸显出Bossa Nova曲风中所包容的节奏感与原音之美。
她换过2间唱片公司，1997年从日本BMG转投东芝EMI，至今已拥有8张金唱片2张白金唱片的纪录。擅长将世界上有名的各种歌曲翻唱成为Bossa Nova。偏偏是这个东方血统的女子，将Bossa Nova演绎的淋漓尽致，优雅热情又不失性感，比拉丁还拉丁，并推动这一音乐形式掀起了世界性的热潮。在此次的爵士周开幕演出上，小野丽莎不仅将现场演绎《Take Me Home, Country Roads》、《C’est Si Bon》、《Garota De Ipanema》等乐迷们非常熟悉的歌曲，更是准备了充满东方色彩的《夜来香》。

Love Love Love her voice. I am missing a whole week's worth of jazz festival in Shanghai. And it is at FuXing Park! Who'd knew a small park where I used to ride bumper cars is now party central. I remember first time going to Guandi I thought it was the nicest club ever with the hottest girls I'd ever seen. I thought it was the sweetest thing to have a club located in the middle of a park so I can look at trees while I am wasted. I can't quite explain my emotions when I see trees, especially in the dark. I still remember that night after getting out of Guandi I suddenly stopped walking and looked around, realizing that I was on a pathway many many years ago. Everything became so familier, in an instant.

I really want to go to this concert with daddy. He loves concerts. He made me go to all these orchestral concerts since I was five and even though I fell asleep everytime he'd still take me. Now I am going to take him to all my jazz concerts hahaha. He better stay awake. I can't piggy back him home like he used to with me.

Somehow I am more compelled to upload pictures in here than on facebook. Probably because this is a personal space, and it jots down the things in life I'd never want to forget. No other site has been able to do this. So here, joy in my very last exam period.

Am I now? Haha.

Connie's Eeyore and my Chili, who became good friend when Connie slept over during our hardcore studying sessions.

Chili raped Eeyore by the way, because he is horny like that.

Alex's "individualized seasoning" of 99 Chairs hashbrowns. Yes he did that one by one.

Wine and dine at Dave's for Michelle's welcome back party, where we watched the damnable game six.

and finally

Lena Fuji's MV. It probably costed one buck to make, and she can't sing shit. But her I like~~ prettiest Japanese model ever! Well maybe Ebihara Yuri too~~~ Can't decide~~~~

无情剑客多情剑

                                                         感覺好多叻噯。。

Suddenly I think of the ending of a Gulong's book and it occurs to me that if there is one thing to adore in life, it is the capability to love. Love those whom I hate passionately, those whom I believe to be malignant. If love is all I have to give, then even the most detrimental can do nothing but exhilarate my contentment. This is my offer of amnesty to grant a peace of mind. Yup.

Hedi Hedi

Graduation is around the corner and I am SO. NOT. PREPARED. First of all I haven't taken graduation photos yet, so I am guessing I won't be on the psychology grad composite? Also not sure whether my dad is going to attend my graduation ceremony or not, this is totally my fault. Hum, "The Fugitive" is three years overdue and I have yet returned it to the Koener Library. Oh, and I am probably not going to attend the psychology undergrad boat cruise either. Hum, I might as well try my best to fail the rest of my courses so I can graduate at another time?

Hedi Slimane is leaving Dior Homme. Not that it matters much to me, it is just sad to see him being replaced. Am a huge fan of his photography, well precisely the way they are captured - a sense of tranquility surges against world of hysteria. They truely depict the expression that life imitates art, and not the vice versa. To view some of his photos, click here.

Besides that, there is nothing else to really talk about haha. I found a new eye cream that works really well for my eyes and hopefully it will eventually get rid of those dark reddish undereye circles that I absolutely despise. I wish my skin is as good as it was couple years ago and I sense that I will say this for the rest of my life. As lazy as I am, am starting to take that extra five minutes before I go to bed to wash my makeup completely off and pile on some skincare goodies. I suppose there is a woman in me after all for I too now share the fear of aging.
