Living stories

Sorry deleting your comments on my previous post! Writing so viciously is just not me...(Is it?) Anywayz, things might not always go my way but I am cool with it, now.

Back to some city stories. I think how much I can relate myself to a city has a lot to do with how much I am abssessed with its local media. (I hardly missed any issue of 周末画报 or 羊晚 back in highschool). Since moving to the city, my all time favourate is New York magazine. They can play around with the most gossip and highbrow columns at the same time. Last good Friday, as usual I was reading its online version, and reading through the daily news, the name "chumley's" just poped up to my eyes, in daily news! instead of restaurant session. The news is very interesting (pay attention to some related links) itself, and I can really feel it happening when it is so close to where I live:

I am espeicially fond of this hidden gem not just because its cozy neighbourhood setting, history or its no sign door, but also I learnt about it from a half-drunk passerby on st patty's day.

It is getting late, time for bed!

Will write about some of my new found interests later, top design and some fashion labels!

人生若只如初见

最近在读迈克。他文绉绉而带着尖酸才子口吻的文字很合我的胃口。谁叫我是国语教育，口语广东话长大的呢。别人看来矫情做作，我却读得津津有味。

“英格列，这不过是部电影”。谁也不能比他更清楚什么是戏梦人生，什么是暗暗执著，自讨苦吃。

昨日终于看了“如果。爱“，剧情个人认为乏善可陈，只是片尾反复提到的青葱草地，虽然俗气，却难免让人感怀。谁不喜欢少不经事的纯纯爱恋？只是经历种种，便会退化僵硬，更乘机会为自己找各种借口怀念一番。

人生若只如初见。可惜这是永不take two, 终会落幕的一出戏。

今晚之后，我知自己就不再会有什么遗憾，究竟是对人生完全态度不一样的两个人。

quote:
屠格涅夫的一篇小说里回忆说，他翻开书，看见当年他爱慕的女孩从窗口里扔下来的紫罗兰，这朵干花仍然散发着幽幽的清香，而当年握着这朵花的手，已经在棺木里腐烂了。世事无常，人生虚无，快乐常在，即使什么都留不下，那么也在告别之际，清醒地知道自己曾经在这个虚无的世界中真实的快乐过，没有遗憾的开始下一段路吧。

Biking in the city and some thoughts

Won a Biachi bike by registering the MS Tour, which lightened me up with the enthusiation of joining the Sunday biking training of our CS team.

We met up by the Park at 90th & Fifth (close to home is also an very important factor for my joining), then rode over to the west side (Riverside drive), up to the GWB and over to NJ. There was a bunch of verterans and everyone is nice and funny. Even I suck so much, I still enjoyed the ride a lot and felt glad I did make it. The weather was fabulous (80s and sunny, so got some cute sun tans). Central park, gw briges and NJ park were just beautiful on such a peaceful yet lively Sunday. When I rode back from Jersey w/ one of the team captains who is a long time new yorker from UK, he showed me some interesting buildings that I had never noticed or been aware of along the west side. When we went by Riverside Church, the bell started ringing. I looked back under the shadow of the trees, and saw this magnificent architect glowed in color and splendor.

At that moment, I was really touched. I couldn't fully explain. It might be the budding of my love to the city, or finding something I had long lost.

小生活需要大智慧. I read about this on a frd's blog. Can't agree more. I can be over sentimental sometimes, but as a virgo and libra, or as practical as I am, I know how to pull back myself. But even so, pieces by pieces, I know life still tears you apart. When I sat there and feeling fragile, it is this love and passion, this appreciation of life, from others, inspired me.

Try to reach out, try to appreciate. be brave. I know I will make it.

got my wisdom teeth extraction today, was shaking like a kitten on the surgery chair.

Life has been a little dramatic lately. Hope my wisdom will grow with the pain.

US Open

went to US Open with Michael and Somitha this Sunday. The weather was good just a little chilling. Agassi played in the day game so we missed his last game, however we had Sharapova!~ The man's game was super boring, so I googled Pete Sampras' game back home to remember the good old days...
