Summer 2007

Thu, 26 Jul 2007 05:45:17 GMT

It's been a while ever since the last time I updated my journal, yes, I have always been busy.

Anyhow, I am back in Shanghai this summer as usual. Different from other times, I actually have an internship this time!!! I am currently interning at this dream PR company that I have always wanted to work at! It's the second week right now, but I barely have anything to do. Everyday I face the computer browsing info. All I can hear is the busy keyboard typing sound surrounds me. Everyday from 9:30 to 6pm, I feel like i spend more time with my little cube than anything else. I could finally log on to xanga and update my info. recently, thanx to peter for providing proxymat, it decodes everything. By everything i mean EVERYTHING! Anyhow, I need to keep updated with all the music that I have been lacking paying attention to.

Good Day and cheers to 上班族

So these a couple of days i have heard some funky phat-ass deep chunky beats on freerange mixes. They are so deep and funky that I can't let go of them!!!!

The first mix set is brought by Nacho Marco, I wish I could have attained the tracklist, I could only recognize one song outta all!!!!! Untitle (Solid Groove Remix)!!! and the next set is Troydon Mix. Similar enough phatass chunky beats are so HOT!!! Wish I could see his set at the freerange party at WMC. THird one is spirit catcher, they just released an album a while ago...damn phat. Shur-i-kan's equally awesome, he started out with his "future" track, and coming up with a couple of Justin Martin tracks and Untitled (Solid Groove Remix) damn that track is popular. The whole set is finished off by Palm Skin production. Gotta listen to those mixes!

New Addiction!

The song that could show how I exactly feel at this moment. In love with it!

你的泪光柔弱中带伤
惨白的月弯弯勾住过往
夜太漫长凝结成了霜
是谁在阁楼上冰冷地绝望

雨轻轻弹朱红色的窗
我一生在纸上被风吹乱
梦在远方化成一缕香
随风飘散你的模样

菊花残满地伤
你的笑容已泛黄
花落人断肠我心事静静躺
北风乱夜未央
你的影子剪不断
徒留我孤单在湖面成双

花已向晚飘落了灿烂
凋谢的世道上命运不堪
愁莫渡江秋心拆两半
怕你上不了岸一辈子摇晃

谁的江山马蹄声狂乱
我一身的戎装呼啸沧桑
天微微亮你轻声的叹
一夜惆怅如此委婉

菊花残满地伤
你的笑容已泛黄
花落人断肠我心事静静躺
北风乱夜未央
你的影子剪不断
徒留我孤单在湖面成双

菊花残满地伤
你的笑容已泛黄
花落人断肠我心事静静躺
北风乱夜未央
你的影子剪不断
徒留我孤单在湖面成双

"This is your life and you should totally control it"

George is so right about, even tho he's an anime character. He is very right about that.

It's not that I don't know that but at times I just kinda confused about it because things and people.

Have I forgotten how to love myself?

I think I found an answer right now.And I think I will be having a really good weekend.

So I just made myself some Red label tea,cuz I like tea, it keeps me warm and calms me down. I decided to bring my xanga back, after all it's been a while. I never had time just to spend a couple mins on my journals anymore. I guess now it's the time for me to catch up.
Another year has gone by, instead getting all excited about the new year I am a little scared at the fact that time passes so fast. One more year I will be graduating and losing myself somewhere else. Another winter in Boston by myself, couldn't really explain why I chose to stay here. The Japan plan failed off, got pretty sick from the previous partying and lacking of sleep and of course I was thinking of saving some money. But apparently that didnt work out too well, i just spend as much as I expected. I might have stayed because for someone who I just started to care about. Boston is lonely as usual. The weather is always gloomy and you don't see that many ppl on the streets anymore. I am having a major homesick again, just like last year. No more Bar Rouge or Attica; no more hardcore partying with my family or with my old friends who I haven't seen for a while; no more 3 pm Starbucks coffee talk at Xin Tian Di with the ones who I care about; no more Xiao Long Bao or any sort of authentic Chinese food serving hot in front of me; no more parents taking me out for food or shopping...I guess that's what you get when you are away from home. Lately I joined the group on the facebook of "You know when you went to an international school when..." It was so true about us international ppl, HOME is the term that I get confused a lot lately. I don't know where home is to me. I mean it's definitely my hometown, however I spend most of my life time here in the States. I go HOME for vacations. I don't know, I am just really confused. I think i grew up so much both physcially and mentally. I am definitely more independent than before, but it gets lonely sometimes. It does.

It's funny how when I get busy I am just really busy with everything. A lotta school work and a lotta parties. When I am not busy then I am not busy at all, sitting in front of my computers for hours without doing anything, and PARTILESS that's for sure. I just wish i could balance my time and blend everything in. I definitely miss all my friends who I hung out with in Boston as well. I had really some great times with them.

I guess I will just keep my new year's resolutions in my mind for a while, cuz I am NOT that excited to announce it. But I think i will do some recap of the year and move on quickly.

It always gets busy the last a couple weeks before I leave for the States. A lotta errands and shopping to do, and also I feel like spending times with friends are really necessary. As the matter of fact I love this place, I love Shanghai. I don't wanna leave here, I have probably told all my friends here already, but still I have gotta face the reality. I do miss my close friends in Boston I really do. Everything is just so different here and there, so different.

Yesterday was a good day. Recorded this show called Strategic Decisions with Tommy and Victor at the TV Station, and experienced how live interviews type of talk shows are made. Hearing and learning from those CEOs and professors is always good. I really like Barbarossa now. I love the fact that they have ladies night on Thurs. and have amazing flavored shisha. Real chill and relaxing and I am soooo getting one when I go back to Boston.

This song is my new obessession these days. I have to admit that Jay Chow is a genius. It is a love story hidden underneath these beautiful ancient-styled words. It is not only just a pop song anymore.

I am not as excited as I thought when I got my internship with John Hancock. Tho. I think I have left them a good impression of me. I actually got to see the manager today. They gave me fairly high expectation and claimed they would gimmi some TOUGH work to do. God I am just an intern I dun need no tought job to do. So the trainning will start from next week, which also means I won't have timeto go to HK or SIngapore in mid Aug.

I caught a cold last Wed. It's been bothering me majorly these days. Endless emptiness has filled in my room and my head. Nothing seems to interest me. I dunno if it's just the sickness or something else, but what would it be?

Yesterday was the Chinese Valentine's Day, I had to admit time passes really fast. I still remember last year this time. Tho. this summer is much better than last one, I understand this festival do谷sn't belong to me. It never did anways.
