the side of me that is strange to me.

have you ever been surprised by yourself when you discover a side of yourself which you never knew before?

“Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts. Over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn. Why? Because this storm isn't something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you. This storm is you. Something inside of you. So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn't get in, and walk through it, step by step. There's no sun there, no moon, no direction, no sense of time. Just fine white sand swirling up into the sky like pulverized bones. That's the kind of sandstorm you need to imagine.

An you really will have to make it through that violent, metaphysical, symbolic storm. No matter how metaphysical or symbolic it might be, make no mistake about it: it will cut through flesh like a thousand razor blades. People will bleed there, and you will bleed too. Hot, red blood. You'll catch that blood in your hands, your own blood and the blood of others.

And once the storm is over you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about.”

— Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

向前向上。

頭也不回。

低調的參與。

went to art stage singapore. hmmm... i wish i can do big scale sculpture one day...

we are not tokyo girls but where are ike-men?

下午在目瞬一刻喝了一杯卡布奇諾，一杯拿鐵，一杯冰檸檬茶，啃了一本半書。當下覺得如果就永遠停留在這一刻也不錯。一度還讀到非常有共鳴同感而有點熱淚盈眶。身體也許因咖啡因作怪而不禁微微顫抖。自己一個人也能high的美好時光。松浦彌太郎的最糟也最棒的書店。還有蜷川実花的尋找幸運星。

完美結束 • 完美開始

撥開歡慶新年的人群我走了出來，
眼角督見了一張曾經熟悉的臉孔。
出奇冷靜的我向那張臉淺淺微笑，
輕輕點了點頭卻絲毫沒停下腳步。
那故事尾端一直以來欠缺的句號，
終於在整整三年後完美地被點下。

其實人生的下一章早就已經開始。
但是當下永遠將會是以後的曾經。

let loose.



let go.

喜歡十一月的綿綿雨季。
而十二月卻總讓我惆悵。
從來它不為誰放慢腳步。
我拼命地跑卻總是遲到。

the launch of sadako fashion diary

i'll try to make it a long-run fashion diary project. i try... >:-[

a macaron that is not a macaron.

i'm not a fan of macaron. but this particular one i just had was way better than the expensive one i had tasted at a macaron specialist shop in Prague (my sister's idea). i feel weird today, not particularly positive nor negative but i guess it marks one of the milestones in life. rather...i'm happy for my friends. all of us are entering into another chapter. the impact of the moving train of life is getting clearer. which, it has nothing to do with this macaron. i'm looking forward to my next trip. :-)

完空。

吃完了蛋腦袋呈現空白狀態雙眼毫無焦距地直視前方而呼吸也變緩慢下來的我。。。 想睡。

not too scientific not too expressive.

bruce lee's such a charismatic man.

美妙關係。

怎麽說呢。
想到再說。

noody's away (from home) day.

natural born olympic swimmer.

the owner who's totally toasted/burnt since his recent obsession of basking himself under the sun and his first time wearing a sleeveless out after one decade.

the talented chef in the middle, the beautiful muse on the left and myself on the right.

i only dare to have a brief bonding moment with noody after he has calmed down from his over-excitement. while the beautiful muse having his own moment next to us.



noody knows the best of how to "live the moment". now, all that matters to him is the volley ball bouncing in the air.

i tried to imagine that i have a dog like nooody.



i enjoyed the moments with the guys yesterday, although i donno for how long more we can share our time like this. i secretly hope that we can make it until we are really old.

sis is here.

i've been living alone for almost 5 years, my sis has come join me after wrapping up her chapters in london in late october. a change for my life but an even much bigger change for hers. i do wish her all the best here.

siem reap sisters trip

before december ends too soon, i must post about this trip made in early november. it was a super happy blast for all of us! really hope we can make such gathering trip as an annual event...

possess less part II :: zakka

couldn't resist cute zakka and have been collecting randomly since my late 10s. some are lovely gifts from friend with sentimental value. but to execute a simpler life from inside out, i'll keep some of the above and i shall not buy anymore zakka. at least not until i have my own house. dear friends, really appreciate your love but please don't give me anything like that anymore. :-)
