Tree of Life

      一切源于内心的不平静。不过随着一个重大决定的逐步落实，平淡而又神奇的日子终将再次回归我身边，乏味的感觉会自讨没趣地离开，寻找它新的主人。Yes, I resigned from my current job. Some people were surprised saying, "How can you give up your TV job, which is hundreds and thousands of people's dream job? Are you silly? Think of the things you can lose!". Some people understand and say, "Congratulations!" But to me, it's only a matter of time, to resign now or then. And I think only when you let go of something, can you open yourself to new opportunities and to embrace a new world. 所谓有得有失。What other people say doesn't really affect me now because I trust my own decision, because I followed my heart.  

所谓北京城里流传的新“四大俗”指的是——

“学琴学古琴，开店开会馆，学佛修密宗，喝茶喝普洱”。

忘记在哪里读到的了。按这上面说的，我就“一俗”，即“喝茶喝普洱”。虽然家里有一大盒云南普洱市产的普洱茶饼，平时喝得最多的居然还是袋泡的。用台湾话说，我这懒人可是达人的级别啊！

      Graham离开了，Chi也要离开了，Dana也快离开了。不敢想生活里一下子没有他们这样的好朋友后怎么办。能有朋友像Graham那样在我说出"bitch means babe in total control of herself"之后，立马给我来一句"jerk means Junior Educated Rich Kid"吗？能有人对一条心理测试的答案有"A white flying Siberian tiger with identity crisis issues, who doesn't accept that he is Siberian, mixed with griffin with out beak"那么怪异但是精彩吗? 能再遇到像Chi那样三年里在上海一起成长的朋友，并且理解both guys and girls' mentality, and can be an honest and straightforward "guy think tank" friend when I'm confused about relationship stuff? 能有像Dana那样的好朋友能陪我喝一个星期的汤，跟我一样喜欢走路，然后在我迷失方向的时候直接地告诉我，"Babe, you're lost"吗？

      于是我要求他们将自己拷贝一份，leave me with a copy before they leave. 这当然是开玩笑的。他们都是独一无二的。不过，我还是知道always look at the sunny side of life. 至少我去加拿大玩的时候可以找Graham，去California可以找Chi，and Dana in Sydney. And who knows, maybe someday I'll live in one of these places for a while. So good luck to them, and to myself as well. 

If I Were A Boy 

                   -- by Beyonce

If i were a boy even just for a day
I'd roll out of bed in the morning
And throw on what i wanted
And go drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I'd kick it with who i wanted
And i'd never get confronted for it
'Cause they stick up for me
If i were a boy
I think i could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear i'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
'Cause i know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
'Cause he's taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
If i were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it's broken
So they'd think that i was sleeping alone
I'd put myself first
And make the rules as i go
'Cause i know that she'd be faithful
Waiting for me to come home, to come home
If i were a boy
... ...

1. 想去印度

昨儿收到英国同学Summeet的邮件， 是一封婚礼邀请。Summeet是印度老兄，未婚妻也是印度的，婚礼自然在印度，新德里。我是非常非常地想去啊。一是，在英国的时候还挺熟，经常和他还有一英国女生hang out，挺想看看老同学工作后变成什么样子了。二是，印度向来是个神秘的国家，印度的婚礼也自然带有神秘的色彩，各种各样的色彩，女孩子的沙丽还有手绘等等，忍不住想去看个究竟。还可以拍不少好看的照片呢。三是，可以顺便去看Taj Mahal，泰姬陵！不过，凡是最怕的就是“但是”两个字，但是... 我已经用完了今年的年假了，哎... 

2. 想去丽江

Sammy已经是第4次去丽江啦！他在那儿极力推荐我去。而且丽江正在变得越来越商业化了，要趁早去啊。

3. 想去Thailand+Provence+Monaco+Morocco+Sydney

跟Dana约定的girl's trip. 就是不知道什么时候有时间可以执行。相信应该是在不久的将来。 

4. 想去日本

喜欢日本的Loft生活馆，有好多可爱的家居用品。日本干净漂亮，自然和现代化和谐共生。日本有跟我名字一样的calendar! 好朋友Eriko最近过来上海玩，更想去看看了，要赶在她决定去纽约前。
