Black and White

一直到现在 都是喜欢黑白的
从海鸥DF2开始
决意要买G2也是很早以前的事情 但是终究败下阵来
远离家乡的我 还是少了那样的执着
我想是一定会拥有它吧
在不远的一天 感叹着光阴如梭

Friday night is the SPA night!

Power off the cell phone,

Wipe away the gloomy mood，

Make a cup of green tea and make myself a little Zen~~

Friday night is the SPA night!

长春三日

和上次来相比, 长春是没有什么太大变化的. 只是冬天的北方城市多了份大气肃穆. 而这种感觉是我尤其喜欢的. 在我看来, 靠近上海的惟有南京有这样的气势了. 也正是因为喜欢, 便不敢靠的太近.
长春却是很平易近人的. 每次来都觉得很轻松. 日子会不知不觉就过去, 走的时候便会很留恋.

零下温度的天, 阳光灿烂. 让我这个从绵绵细雨中逃脱出来的上海人有点无所适从. 气温低得彻底, 风也刮得凌厉, 却并不怎么觉得受冻, 反而觉得冷得爽气. 看来我也是真的厌恶了拖泥带水的江南天了. 早上起来的时候, 窗外一片雪白. 心里很激动地想着, 今天能去踏雪了! 那咯吱咯吱的响声, 已经是怀念了.

也看到了冬日不常能见的清澈蓝天, 很是诧异.
上次见到已经是7年前了的漠河, 一边开心着一边也感叹着时间的飞逝.

吃了很多, 也买了不少. 相倒是没照几张, 光顾着看这看那的好奇了.
心里想着, 这样的城市, 还是应该一起回去看.
于是, 又有了新的期待.

10 Days in Shanghai

回上海10天,下了10天的雨...
那种下得很不彻底的雨我已经见了非常怕了, 潮气重的很，还很优柔寡断地飘着.
明明是8,9度的天,却阴冷得让人禁不住要颤抖.

每天见不一样的人, 从心的里面开心温暖起来.
有的人变了很多, 有的人还是记忆中的性格. 我却是都喜欢的.
越来越能平淡地看东西，可能也是因为长大了.
但也会突然激进起来, 发现原来还是不够稳重, 离社会太远.
有点害怕将来, 一个人偷偷地无助无奈一番.

朋友都有了自己的生活, 有时候觉得一个人是多余的.
这更加促使我想好好努力地工作,
因为我想回来, 能在朋友们的身边, 会很快乐.
可能也会有挫折, 但是我还是想去经历很多.

走的那天, 雨应该停了.
回来的时候, 希望笑声更多.

One Week to GO!

Shanghai, I'm back!!

It's only two-month short stay but I'm still very excited. At the thought of delicate food, amazing shopping season, warmer weather and of course my lovely family and friends, I just can't wait. The schedule in the first months is fully arranged. This checklist will remind me of everything I need to do to make these two months the most efficient.

*appointments with potential clients, team members and website designer.
*found printing company

Need to be arranged later:

A Rough Start

Because of the random inspiration I got from a creative choreography I am working with, I made my mind to start my own career when I go back to Shanghai. I will try to have a studio to do event design and planning. After the crazy brainstorming stage, more actual things need to be carried into execution from this month. First thing has to be settled down is the logo design. I guess it's better to leave it to professionals but I also want to see how much I can do. This strong motivation drove me to install the Photoshop Software and started to learn with my great working Enthusiasm. Very soon I realized that it was really impossible to design my desirable logo with my crappy PS skill. I know it's just easy to stop and find a graphic designer to do that. But I'm just not resigned to defeat. After a splendid sleep, I figured out something and here are my latest sample work!!!

logo and slogan:

Basically the inspiration comes from ancient Chinese calligraphy. I really love the feeling which the ink and washing drawing bring. In Chinese, the "round" or "circle" means something propitious. That's why most of Chinese family use round table instead of square one. It's a symbol of reunion. I decide to make the logo looks like a round seal, which quite match the business of studio -- design and plan tailor-made wedding/cocktail reception/Anniversary banquet,etc.

The process of naming is quite painful. I feel very relieved when it's settled down. The Chinese character "锦" originally means luxuriant brocade, as an adjective, it also means beautiful and splendid. "思" means think, consider, used as noun, it means concept and inspiration as well. These two characters are beautiful together, both in writing and pronunciation. They look amazingly gorgeous in Chinese cursive script calligraphy. I only hope it won't sound weird in some of Chinese accents.

The letter paper


The name of the fishes on the logo is red fancy carp. In China, it's a great mascot in Chinese ancient art of placement--Fengshui. (Chinese geomantic omen). Given the name of "锦鲤", fancy carp is a symbol of fortune and luck. When I decide to add some decoration on the logo, it just came to my mind so naturally. I followed the feeling and actually it looks really nice.

OK for now. What's the opinion you can give then? :)

Kitchen Confidential

I was a very terrible cook. The worst thing is everyone knows that except me. When I started my study life in Amsterdam, I made sandwich every morning for breakfast and different kinds of pasta for lunch and dinner. I was so proud of myself. However, most of my Chinese friends here thought I was pathetic. Because they think Chinese people should be able to cook fantastic dishes, which are served with rice. I didn't really care about that. Until one day, when I noticed a slight frown on one of my friends' face when he had my "well-cooked" creamy broccoli, I made my mind to be a good cook.

I collected ordinary recipes online and went to some cooking forums to dig some secret homemade recipe. I combined some ingredients to create my own cuisine. As usual, I take pictures of these dishes to show my parents and friends the progress I've made.

Starter--Salad with avocado and shrimp ..Yummy~


Temaki Sushi


Sichuan Spicy Fish


Homemade Korean Kimchi (pickled vegetables)


See, I'm kind of pro at cooking. And I actually teach others how to cook and some cooking tips now. I wanna show my parents this impressive change this time when I'm back to Shanghai. Isn't that exciting ? :D
