| Carolyn told me Vancouver was snowing. Onion Photo
Last year, 29th Nov, Vancouver was snowing as well. I remembered it was the paper production night. I drove Eric, Basil and B.Z home nearly at 3am. We tried e-break and I took photo with B.Z on the way home. I talked with him alot about anything, life, love, friendship and career. Fond memory!
Coincidentally, Champagne contacted me today on msn and gave me a web link for Michelle and Simon's photo project. They are so talented! I so wanna join them. Watching these familiar faces on Spotted Cock and thinking about the snow in Vancouver made me miss my friends there deeply. Am I too greedy? Or I am really lonely here. Do they miss me? I wonder...... I've dreamt the night with dazzling snow, kissing the sea's eyes, climbing and slow ...... |

I am happy, deliriously happy.

Beijing has this shitty weather today. Not a pleasant day. :(
Passions most dissembles, yet betrays, Even by its darkness; as the blackest sky Foretells the heaviest tempest. |

Hotpot with co-workers, an outstanding stage show plus a late night beer-drinking "party" with my boss's family fullfilled my weekend.
I also bought a new Canon Pro-9000 printer.
The delivery will be made on Monday. I can't wait to open it. Sony PS-3 and Nintendo Wii are both on the market. Gaming is getting futher away from my life. Not a good sign @_@ |

My camera was set up with a pair of Pocketwizards during a rehearsal meeting this afternoon at CCTV.
I shoot with my digital Rebel (300D) and the transmitter. The rehearsal meeting was like 3+ hours long and I took over 5G Raw images. Few concerns left me to solve: 1. I need a new tripod head. The gear head I am using is good for landscaping but it's kind of inconvinient during a meeting or a sports event. 2. Unless I am walking on the street, even when I am walking on the street, a 2nd camera could always make things easier. 300D is not a good choice. 3. If I need a 2nd camera, will it be a 8mp 1D MarkIIn? Or should I sell my 1d-MIIn and get a pair of 17mp 1ds MII? 4. A 400mm F2.8 IS lens.
Damn...... why I have this never ended buying list? |

My co-worker has this cute little Minox mini leica, a 3mp digital camera.
Manual operation with digital sensor. Yummy!! Well, there are some feelings I don't know how to express. They stuck in my mind. Although I came back 4 months already, China is still a strange zone to me. People here are different, not in the bad way but just different. Although I was born here and stayed for almost 20 years but during the past 7 years which could define my value of living, I was out. When people are in an unfamiliar zone, they behave strangely. So do I...... Lately I've been self-learning some nonlinear movie editing tools like Final Cut Pro etc. I also get my hands on creating Flash movies. Learning is always a good process to be more self-knowledged. |

I got up at 5:30, leaving my hotel around 6:20am heading to Communication University of China. My boss had a guest speaking there. Inspiration was all I could say.
Later in the afternoon, I attended an important meeting. It was 3 hours long plus a 2 hours dinner. I am still thrilled by the result but well, let's wait and see.
By the way, it's always cheerful to watch stage play. I should definitely watch more!!!!
From this week, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I will go swim at noon for an hour at the aquatic center in Renmin University of China. Yeah swim! |

The moment you wake up, when you face the person whom you live with, are you truly happy? When you made the decision, did you think thoroughly? The moment before you go to sleep, do you still have passion toward the so called marriage? Love is a wish that hides in your heart and nobody knows about it but you. Love is blinding. An eternity in a single moment. A religion worth dying for. Love is passion, obsession. Something I can't live without. Now you tell me, how could I ever let it go? Life is too short. We live once for all. Don't waste it! This is my heart and it's broken. |

| What would be better than drinking two cups of hazelnut Latte in this cold winter with a person you love? I am staying at room619 watching "Friends" season one with a finger of Scotch Whisky and some cheap chocolates. I realize how much I miss the Western food, the pasta, the burger, the ribs, the steak,the steam mussels, the calamari, the hotdog, even the curry-point...... Dear God, I am dying to find a good restaurant where could serve me a decent Western meal.
I re-arranged my home place since I moved my computer to the hotel room. I think it looks better without the computer desk. "Hey, hey, I am your daddy. I'm the one without any breasts" Well, Ross just sang it. |

Blurry image taken by Zhang Jing, my co-worker, during Wednesday's meeting at CCTV.
I decide to buy a 2nd hand Minox 35 PL camera and a LOMO LC-A camera. Well, maybe a Lomo first. " What the hell is a lomo? Radiating with mystery and the subtle odour of steel and oil lubricants - The LOMO LC-A represents many things: A compact, robust, Russian throwback to the fond yesterdays of Socialism and institutional craftsmanship. A relentlessly clicking beastie threatening to overwhelm you with (not so) slightly insane impulses to capture te innate majesty of all things around you. A tool to provide for the true democratization of art - allowing all people to create extraordinary and dazzling portraits of every single facet of their lives. A first-class, express ticket to the ever-dynamic, globally reaching Lomographic Society - proud home to the finest lomographers in history! "
Interesting, uh? Check out this guys's website here. I love it! Michelle, you have to get it from Ebay!!! |

Room #619 where I gonna live with the production team till the end of Feb 2007.
We work 6 days per week. Each day from 9:30am to whenever we finish the work, sometime 6pm, sometime 10pm, sometime till the next day. But so far I enjoy my work. And I am making new friends everyday. What's more important, I start having idea about what I am going to do after this work. And I am exciting about it.
I do miss my homeplace and Muffin! |
