When I get homesick, I would Google Map Street View places I used to go frequently in Vancouver:

my old elementary school

my old home

my old coffeeshop

I guess its obvious, but I felt it was necessary to put the term 'old' in front of every description. But now I wonder, what is my new coffeeshop? Where is my new home? And unfortunately, it not the place I am staying in now...

When my mom bought tickets to the House of Dancing Water for new years eve in Macao, I had no expectations of it. I had not YouTube or Google it at all.

I was so impressed by the show despite feeling feverish and nauseous. The stage that transforms effortlessly from floor to deep deep pools amazed me.

I constantly cringed when I watch the performers dive from 10 stories tall platforms into a pool that was solid metal only minutes ago.

One of the most memorable scene for me was when the fog machine went on, covering the entire stage in smoke. And out of the blue, as if a giant had a rain shower head in his bathroom turned on, the smoke was hit by gallons of rain. The impact of the water hit the smoke, causing a visible whirlwind that otherwise would have been invisible to the eyes.

I cried a bit when I saw that.

Needless to say, seeing men in leather and swinging together was stimulating as well...

When I was a little boy I used to admire taxi drivers. They had my dream job: they got to work late and not have to be forced to bed, they get to drive around in the mystery of the night, and they just sat all day in their work.

I have always thought I wanted a easy care free job. Somehow, I lost sight of that when I went to Business school and during that haze, I thought fashion seemed delightful and fun. So I somehow decided to move countries and study fashion.

I can't believe how serious and competitive it all really is.

As I sit here stressed about my final collection with developed acid reflux and heart problems. I know I contribute to the stress too. If I don't let it get to me, if I don't take it that seriously, than I am fine. But somehow it not that easy to say that. When you are in it you want to do well, but my gemini personality of wanting a care free job keeps interrupting

- rendering me typing a blog while stressing out about not working.

Another good thing when eating on your own is when they put you on the same table with others and you can hear everything about them.

This time for example I was next to was a Chinese girl and British guy table. And she, like me is from Canada but from Hong Kong. I wanted so much to scream introductions and relate but I knew deep down there is nothing similar between us and I was just being fooled by me desperately wanting to relate.

One nice thing about eating out on your own is easily squeeze your way through a queue in a popular Japanese udon restaurant.

On the train ride 'home' from a complete shut off in Holland with Dirk. Was nice until I lost my house keys and my paranoid insurance obsessed landlord declares that we must get a new lock and it will cost £180 to fix. Course I have to go down to Canary Wharf to pick up the keys myself.

With my huge suitcase I made my way out to the train station. And late because I had to talk to the landlord and take a shit, which felt disturbingly similar, I started running with a 37kg suitcase while wearing 10 kg worth of clothing.

I was gonna make it. But my heart started really hurting and I couldn't push myself anymore. I couldn't push the suitcase either. My forehead was drenched as I was sweating uncontrollably and I just started to take all my jackets off (2) scarf (1) gloves (1) sweater(1 of 2). And sat on the curb.

With my eyes on the train station and knowing I have missed the train that will lead to me missing my London train which will cost more problems for me to pick up the new keys, I thought this could mean two thing:

1. That my lack of new year resolution has angered a higher being and it is forcing me to see all that is wrong in my life (tardiness, disorganized, tried to do too much at once, and of course being very unfit.) And make me build some new resolutions.

Or

2. 2011 is meant to be a bad year in Chinese for people who are born in the year of the rats. Which is me and that this is just a little hint on what my life will be in the upcoming year.

Course I don't know which one it really is. But i will be thinking about finding a gym and truly try to take it easier this year.
