Why do I have to love a cat?....

Recently, I have been quite angry at myself, over a cat.

I love cats, they are independent and smart, kinda creepy sometimes, but i like them.

A week ago, i ran into this very cute siberian cat, about 2 years old. I was parking the car, and she followed me home. I had to hide it from my landlord, so I kept her in my room for 2 days, she was happily staying by my bedside, and sometimes on my bed.

Of course, after 2 days, the landlord found out about the cat, they weren't too pleased at the time, but later accepted her, because she is very good with their dog.

Anyhow, I am happy she can finally be out in the open. She roamed around the neighbourhood, having tons of fun.

However, we become more distanted, she wouldn't respond to my calls, a meow or two at the most. I know cats are like that, but I thought given what we had, she should at least show a little affection sometimes. Maybe, she has forgotten about me! She is still young after all.

I got a little frustrated, that stupid cat, I thought to myself. Then, I thought, maybe it is my own problem, why do I need/care for her attention? Then, I got angry at myself, why do I have to love a cat? Given their independent nature, call-me-and-leave-a-message attitude. Why do I still love this cat?

(no cat was harmed during the production of this blog, but I cannot say the same about myself though...)

愛如水溝...

幾天前買了張信哲的精選，想想他也很久沒有出專輯了﹝還是我很有沒聽中文歌了?﹞看曲目上的第一首-愛如潮水，有十年了吧! 記得那時我是某個凌晨1點，在中文的電台上聽到的，覺得很好聽，很悲哀...

在這中間，愛如潮水被其他歌星不知翻唱了幾遍，總覺得第一次聽到的還是最好...

當然，在車上就迫不及待的選聽第一首，還是一樣好聽，但感覺已經完全不同，只覺得這傢伙沒事叫那個女的不要這個、不要那個的，可是又一付愛不敢愛、恨不敢恨的樣，不禁暗自碎碎唸『怪不得人家不愛你，煩都給你煩死了，如果她真的在乎你的感受，那些事情還要你說嗎?』

可是回想當年，自己真的是一副「愛如潮水」的模樣，愛不敢愛恨不敢恨、但又痛苦在心理。多年後對自己、人生、女人都有一些了解後，變得敢去表達、有點滑頭、但也自私多了，已經會去計較了，啦拉雜雜，那潮水沒事多了一堆包裹、一堆垃圾...

現在的「愛如水溝」好像也沒有「愛如潮水」可愛...

愛如潮水 - 張信哲
曲︰黎沸揮
詞︰李宗盛

不問妳為何流眼淚
不在乎妳心裏還有誰
且讓我給妳安慰　不論結局是喜是悲
走過千山萬水　在我心裏妳永遠是那麼美

既然愛了就不後悔
再多的苦我也願意背
我的愛如潮水　愛如潮水將我向妳推
緊緊跟隨　愛如潮水它將你我包圍

我再也不願見妳在深夜裏買醉
不願別的男人見識妳的嫵媚
妳該知道這樣會讓我心碎

答應我妳從此不在深夜裏徘徊
不要輕易嚐試放縱的滋味
妳可知道這樣會讓我心碎

既然愛了就無怨無悔
再多的苦我也願意背
我的愛如潮水　愛如潮水將我向妳推
緊緊跟隨　愛如潮水它將你我包圍

We are living in the slowest city in the world...

After working in the market for a few weeks, I sudden realize Vancouver is a very slow city. Why? We are always behind every market. We are 3 hours behind New York, 8 hours behind London, 17 hours behind Tokyo. It feels like the whole world is already tomorrow, and we are still today.

To say the least, west coast style living is more relaxing, less stressful (supposingly). Maybe that is why we are at least 3 hours behind all the major markets, because we are more lay back.

Except in the case of Alaska (1 hour behind us) and Hawaii (2 hours behind us). They are way slower than us... or maybe Victoria should get half an hour behind us, they are pretty slow too. :)

Vrei sa pleci dar nu ma, nu ma iei...

After talking to many friends, I have come to the conclusion that I have been too blue, to adjust to my new life, I need something uplifting. Something like the Romanian group Ozone's Dragostea Din Tei (the love under the lime-tree) also known as the Numa Numa song.
http://www.numanumadance.com/

Be warn though, this song will guarantee to stay in your mind for a long long time. But it is a happy song!

btw, "Vrei sa pleci dar nu ma, nu ma iei" means " You want to go but you don't take me with you". Somehow, it is very fitting of my current situation. :)

Bon Voyage to Creme Brulee...

My friends, my past...

Digging thru some old photos, I have revisited that old me, only 21, so naive...

向前走吧 踏上沒有你的這條路...

向前走吧 踏上沒有你的這條路...

不知道為什麼，最近的突然想到大學的生活，加上Betty的update，讓我又進入沉思的狀態。
偶然又聽到Mr.Children在2003年的歌Kurumi，我在看過MTV之後非常的感動，而且年紀越大時，感受越多。MTV 可以在這看得見 http://marksboy.myweb.hinet.net/kurumi.htm

我最傷感的一段是中年的主唱獨自在狹小的公寓中吃飯，一邊幻想妻小在面前，一邊痛哭。暫且不提他們四個中年男子追求夢想可不可行，那種很想觸摸一下回憶的感覺我很能感受得到。在殘酷現時中，又抱著回憶和不可行的夢想，很難過...

有很多人會問Kurumi是什麼？聽說是把日文'未來'這個字擬人化，像是把Future叫成Futi一樣。

請大家好好欣賞...

Ne～ Kurumi
這街道的景色在你的眼中是什麼模樣呢？
現在的我看起來又是怎樣？
...現在已經不能夠回頭了啊
向前走吧 踏上沒有你的這條路

以前SFU有個台灣同學會...

前幾天去了一個UBC的學生社團辦的活動，很熱鬧，大概有3百來人吧。

不小心碰到了一些SFUTA的學弟學妹們，算算輩分，我自1997-8年的TA，我至少大他們8屆，看見他們天真無邪，無憂無律的辦活動，我不禁想起以前一起同甘共苦的好朋友們...

President: Graham，他的無為又有點霸道的風格造就了我們那屆的特色，現在人在台灣，高科技業。

Exteranl VP: Linda，TA辣妹之一，最早嫁掉的，現在在溫哥華的某大3C商店總公司上班。

Internal VP: Karen，把當時UBC兩個社團社長都迷的東倒西歪，年底將在溫哥華嫁給大學時代的夢中情人，未來的精算師。

Treasurer: Nancy，以前TA幹部有兩對，Vicky和Ken，另外就是Nancy和我，幾年前嫁去美國，一個小孩的媽。

External Secretary: Brian，他和Graham都是我高中就認識的死黨，少數還留在溫哥華的男生，軟體公司上班。

Internal Secretary: Patrick，在TA時和他很要好，之後失去聯繫，在Kevin的婚禮又見到，覺得鈍了好多，台灣工作真可怕。

Public Relation: Betty，月前才在台灣嫁人，祝她幸福!

Public Relation: Kent，另外一個還在溫哥華的男生，TA時代並不熟，工作後一直同行，同時作Kevin的伴郎，在某大銀行任理財顧問一職。

Communication: Ken，與V小姐演泡沫劇，演到TA的下一屆，追求真愛到中國，節了婚，聽說在銀行上班。

Activity Director: Vicky，TA作一半就不見了，聽說去學旅館管理，有誰還有連絡?

Activity Director: Kevin，他創造了TA的'拉風'系列，拉風烤一烤，拉風滑一滑，人在台灣，幾個月前結婚，現在在等當爸爸。

剩下一個Activity Director就是我，當時的感覺真的一點都接不起來，除了有照片為證，我還不記得我們有做過什麼，但我記得我們都很真，都很開心...

Say you will miss me tomorrow...

We knew there are rough terrains before us, we knew there are doubts in our minds, we knew there are still shadow hanging over us.

But for tonight, dear, let there be no worries and no blues, no more whatifs in our minds,

I don't want to hear "I love you",
I don't want to think about tomorrow,
I don't care if we will still be months down the road,
I don't mind if there is going to be heartaches,

I don't even want to know if you miss me now...
Just say the sweestest thing,

Just tell me that you will miss me tomorrow...

對不起，半糖，少冰‧‧‧

自從我的Creme Brulee離開溫哥華後，有時不知不覺都會想起她‧‧‧

在人群中，明明知道不可能，總覺得會看見她的身影‧‧‧

她最喜歡點“園香”的飲料，她不在的時候，我還無意間去了兩三次。她每一次去不管點什麼，都會在後面加一句，“對不起，半糖，少冰‧‧‧” 連那邊的服務員都記得我們了，不知道是我們太常去，還是她點得太龜毛。

想想我們度過的幾星期，真的無時無刻都在一起，每分每秒都很珍惜的在過‧‧‧

現在我們分離兩地，偶爾msn，打電話，傾訴想念的感覺。是乎比起來，我們過去幾星期好像是加了麥芽糖的飲料黏的化不開，又甜到心理去。

現在，我們就是“半糖”的飲料，味道在，但是甜在心理‧‧‧

Being Ambitious or being ordinary...

One of my biggest fear in life is being ordinary, being normal.

When I was growing up, unfortunately, I was pretty normal and medicore. In Taiwan, a kid's success was judged by how well you do at school, from grade 1 to 10, I was always the 10-15th out of the 40 ppl class. When I came to Canada, I was doing Bs in high school. And in University, when I graduated, I pulled a 3.12 GPA, so a B student.

There was a joke I learnt in school, A students will become professors, C students will become CEOs, and B students will work for C students. I don't want to be that B student forever!

Today, I was reading the latest Time magazine, it talks about how ambitious and success people were brought up. Basically, they were brought up in an environment that encourages competitiveness.

Time mentioned something interesting regarding the wolfs, "... Even before wolf pups are weaned, they begin sorting themselves out into alphas and all the others. The alphas are quicker, more curious, greedier for space, milk, Mom- and they stay that way for life. Alpha wolves wander widely, breed annually and may live to a geriatric 10 or 11 years old. Lower-ranking wolves enjoy none of these benefits-staying close to home, breediing rarely and usually dying before they're 4..."

So, if humans are known to show their ambitious when they were young, I think I have missed the train... Or is it?

Still, I think I have been pushing myself to do more things. Every year, especially before my birthdays, I always get the feeling that I am still ordinary, I still haven't achieved enough to be barely unordinary. I think in a way, I am still maturing, maybe finding a way to be that alpha male...

Love was here...

After 5 weeks of wonderful time, Creme Brulee and I are heading to our seperate paths.

Creme Brulee and I met 4 years ago. There were no sparks, but some mutual respect for one another. 4 years later, we met again, when she was back to Vancouver, away from old job, previous relationship and preparing for a 10 months paris trip and 2 year MBA after that. According to her, she was tired.

It all started when I was at the low point of my life, ended a long term relationship, getting into a new job, and turning 28 does not help exactly. I was hoping to get thru my birthday alone, which I haven't done in years. She insisted on throwing a party for me. She even tried to get a date for me. :) It was very sweet of her.

It turns out, the attraction between us was much stronger. We fell in pretty quickly, at the same time, we were extremely cautious. We told ourselves to slow down, because we both knew that she has to go. We avoided the "L" word, and we avoided thinking the "F" word.

But it couldn't be helped. We said the "L" word, we discussed the "F" word...

Every moment we spent with each other feels so damn good, I started to feel more alive as days go on. In some strange way, I think this relationship has saved both of us...

Today is the day that things have to move on. I don't think this is the end of our story, it is a new chapter for both of us. Still I couldn't help to feel a little sad, this was the best October anyone could ask for...

I think Love was here... I don't think it has left...

"Moon River" in Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)

music by Henry Mancini, lyrics by Johnny Mercer

Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going your way.
Two drifters off to see the world.
There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end--
waiting 'round the bend,
my huckleberry friend,
Moon River and me.

Deleted photos...

My Creme Brulee and I have travelled recently. It has been a long time since the last time I travelled with just the person I am *involved* with.

We have gone to many places and have taken hundreds of photos.

When I reviewed them, I realized that some of the photos have been convinently deleted. I think I took those photos and the quality wasn't up to my sweet's standard and they have been cut.

I wonder... Can you delete someone from your life just like you delete your digital photo?
