wordless film



I have left the cinema wordless....It is a beautiful film, it can melt your heart and light up your soul, you can't afford to miss it in your life, which could be changed by.

Such a beautiful life...

Pig leg sized "Braised Lamb Shank"

We went out tonight to a restaurant called Browns in Bath, nice atmosphere but absolutely packed. I was lucky enough to get this 2 seat booking as there were a cancellation just 30 mins before I called last week. Despite courses taste alright, it was really good value, the “ Braised Lamb Shank” that I order is severed by a pig leg size…haha

Happy Valentine’s day!!

Music and Lyrics


Went to watched “Music and Lyrics” by Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore, it is a sweet, romantic and light-hearted comedy, my favorite type of film. The story is about living-in-the-past 80's song writer falls in love with his lyricist who inspired his heart. There is a line in script makes me couldn’t agree more "....melody is physical attraction, appearance, sex....lyrics are getting to know the person to understand her/him inside..."



Comments: Hugh Grant obviously has put on some weight on tummy and waist; winkles around eyes start to show; and his way of act is pretty consistent with all his other movies. Drew Barrymore is a very stunning and cute sweetie. Generally it can be categorized as same type as "How to lose a guy in 10 days" and "Two weeks notice". It would surely be an option for well time spent in a weekend.

Score: 4 stars = strongly recommend

Economic Models explained with cows

SOCIALISM: You have 2 cows, and you give one to your neighbour.

COMMUNISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both and gives you some milk.

FASCISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both and sells you some milk.NAZISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both and shoots you.

BUREAUCRATISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, then throws the milk away...

TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income.

SURREALISM: You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take harmonica lessons

AN AMERICAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. Later, you hire a consultant to analyse why the cow has dropped dead.

ENRON VENTURE CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island Company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. Sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States, leaving you with nine cows. No balance sheet provided with the release. The public buys your bull.

THE ANDERSEN MODEL: You have two cows. You shred them.

FRENCH CORPORATION: You have two cows. You go on strike, organise a riot, and block the roads, because you want three cows.

JAPANESE CORPORATION: You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create a clever cow cartoon image called 'cowkimon' and market it worldwide.

GERMAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You re-engineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.

ITALIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows, but you don't know where they are. You decide to have lunch.

RUSSIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 2 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.

SWISS CORPORATION: You have 5000 cows. None of them belong to you. You charge the owners for storing them.

CHINESE CORPORATION: You have two cows. You have 300 people milking them. You claim that you have full employment, and high bovine productivity, and arrest the newsman who reported the real situation.

INDIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You worship them.

BRITISH CORPORATION: You have two cows. Both are mad.

IRAQI CORPORATION: Everyone thinks you have lots of cows. You tell them that you have none. No-one believes you, so they bomb the **** out of you and invade your country. You still have no cows, but at least now you are part of a Democracy....",

A WELSH CORPORATION: You have two cows. The one on the left looks very attractive.AN

AN AUSTRALIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. Business seems pretty good. You close the office and go for a few beers to celebrate.

Memory (2001_Rose)


To be honest, I was totally amazed when opened the box where the rose was displayed, it was so quiet at the second and my mind suddenly run out of idea, “my god, what is this ? it is so beautiful…….” Thank you so much, Chris, I can’t resist but to confess this is the best Valentine’s present I have ever received in my life so far (hinted more to expect in the coming years….haha).

吸引力不等不幸福

这个世界上令你着迷的男生一定不是令你幸福的男生,而能给你幸福的男生一定要为你着迷。我早就发现了这真理。令你着迷的男生有两种外表和内涵。外表有多么的不可靠我想不用多说众所周知,但是有内涵的也不见得容易捉摸。不管是外表型还是内涵型, 只要不迟钝他们都很清楚的知道自己的优势,于是选择的时候就会异常挑剔。 外表型会寻找外形相当的,内涵型由于自视太高,在他们的眼里只能看到女神。我觉得在这两种选择下的爱情都不会长久,因为前者是虚荣,后者是偶像,两种爱情都不会转变成亲情。美女终有一日会变徐娘,女神一旦参与了鸡毛蒜皮和油盐酱醋就不再神圣。

疯狂的事

我好像很久没有做过这么疯狂的事了。竟然和高中的好友(现在北京)电话聊天,从中国时间晚上12点聊到凌晨4点。电话中途切断3次, 但却丝毫没有影响我们的兴致。 我和Miss T 不知不觉相识快10年了,高中的时候她是一个内敛又害羞的女孩,但成绩却好的出奇,后来我们因为同坐一班公车而相识。这么多年一个人在异地生活的经验让她便坚强了很多,但也品出了生活中很多的无奈。不管身处何地,我们的心灵和想法还是那么的贴近,她仿佛是一个天使可以阅读我的心声。 我最近在努力的挖掘我的生活到底出了什么问题,总是觉得枯燥,没有新的元素和冲击。从来都没有如此的渴望做点什么或是换一个生活方式。后来我发现,其实对于现状我并做不了什么,就像长辈说的, 到了什么年龄就要做什么事,难道25-30 岁的女生就一定要没工作的找工作,没男友的找男友,没结婚的要结婚,没生孩子的生孩子,生了小孩的就要为之奉献牺牲下半生吗?听起来悲哀,想深一层觉得很恐怖, 为什么我们就不能留多一点时间给我们的朋友和我们自己呢?(朋友大概也没有时间应酬我,因为她们正在做所谓应该做的事)
