| Long day. These days. Sometime I worked 14 hours straight. Everytime I stop to take a breath. I realize how isolated
I've let myself become and believe me, you can get a bit desperate ......
Unbelievable, yet believable, year 2006 is complete on its finishing line. Never in the past 8 years to see snows in Beijing, yesterday, I finally witnessed the white. It's damn pretty! Thinking about this year, it's painful! So many things that I don't want to remember anymore. But year 2006 made me strong and believe. Nietzsche said "Life would be senseless without muic". How life could be without love, I wonder! So ... Year 2007 ... I am ready! |

Come on, give me more holiday atmosphere!!! It is the season of greeting and parties.
I went to International Hotel to have Christmas dinner. It was the MOST expensive buffet dinner I've ever had but I didn't eat full. Food was good. It just the feeling wasn't right. After all, Christmas here is just an party excuse, an representation of gift changing. Without the real spirit foundation, holiday became empty and shallow...... But Merry Christmas to all my friends here and Vancouver. I miss you all!
I carefully listend Mr.Luo DaYou's "Beautiful Island". I don't know how to write about my feeling. The last album of him I listened was long time ago and the style was quite different. Throughout his new album, I found "dancing girl" matched what I have in mind about his song. Anyway, it is an attractive album. Thank you Nownow. It's about the time to catch up some modern Chinese culture. I've been out for so long! |

Got up too learly today. Super tired. My co-worker took this photo at the coffe shop in CCTV after the morning meeting.
Couple of things worth to mention. Bless me! How interesting things could be? Greediness and lust complicate the simple essence of life. With the realization of my naive fantasy about love and humanity, I found myself keep hurting people and be hurted. It isn't a good feeling. LOST!! I don't know why I miss Trista alot today. |

Can't move my eyes out of this baby. I made up my mind to get a Linhof 4x5 Master Technika. Probably the 2000 mode since it proves
an additional focusing track for more wide-angle use.
Things are getting more and more interesting. I am learning new stuff everyday. Growing up is a slow and painfull process. At least I am doing my best. |

| They say that once in your lifetime someone comes along whom you're absolutely meant to be with. Everything feels great, stars are aligned, body and spirit are in balance...... If so, what's happened in the past 10 days could change my life. I've had enough pain in the most recent 365 days. Never thought 2006 could be this tough. However I do possess a powerful faith in love. I believe in beauty and pure love with passion, care, respect and appreciation. Now, wiping off my tears, staring at her eyes, I know she is the one, 100% sure with a load of confidence. There are so many dreams. I can't wait to start!!!!! All I need is a beginning. |

current movie: "City of God |

First time to get my hands on large format camera. I tried out Mr.Li Chuan's Linhof camera.
Love it. Never thought I could jump into the large format family this early. Well, never say "never"! It's almost the middle of December, year 2006 is on its finishing line. Good or bad, this is a year of significance. Things which happened, without futher considering of results, had similar consequnces which all could slow me down on whatever I was pursuing. Like it or not, I learned to face the reality and be mature. And I fell in love! |

Happy Birthday to you Mom!!! :) I love you, forever and ever!
A sunny December day, Beijing is getting colder and colder. I finished a Milan Kundera's book and now working on another one called "Slowness". Thank you Nownow for giving me a copy of Keith Jarrett's CD (Mozart piano concertos no.271,453 and 466). I've been looking for this album for really long time
This recording is positively sublime. Truly brilliant! A feast for the ears. I've been working since 9am till 24:45. Now, I am sitting alone at the office, updating my baby website. It was a busy day but fun!
Photo with co-workers. A happy moment!

| As evening fell A maiden stood At the edge of a wood In her hands lay the reins of a stallion And n'er I'd seen, a girl as fair Heard a gentler voice anywhere Whispered, alas She belonged Belonged to another Another, forever |
