我的Jigsaw Ted Baker Top Shop Oasis River Island 呀...又收到了Ted Baker和Topshop的Newsletter, 这季的衣服继续漂亮并可爱着...美国什么时候可以进来Topshop...Topman 这季也更有型了，那个party wear好靓... 好想念River Island, Jigsaw, Topshop, Warehouse, Ted Baker, Dorothy Perkins, FCUK, Hobbs, Miss Selfridge, Principles...这些high street brands...Kookai也好可爱虽然不是英国地...曾经在英国十分喜爱的Oasis, 可惜进了中国后完全变了样子 还有Karen Millen的dresses这个年纪也可以穿了吧...
现在去shopping centre整日对的这些AF AE Gap Hollister Guess CK Ann Taylor Banana Republic实在是提不起什么口味来 (Juicy Couture 例外)...本土大牌诸如Ralph Lauren Michael Kor...也是让人没什么感觉 DKNY除外
不得不再次感叹, 米国的Fashion比起英国和欧洲还真是相形见绌...
薯片比起Marks&Spencer的也是 无论从健康还是口味上也差不少...Miss those Fair Trade stuff...还有Waitrose的牛肉和茶叶...现在这边喝个earl grey也基本只能买到PG或Twinings的...这边Sponge基本甜的无法入口，非常想吃carrot cake...和apple strudel...说到这又想起了Sally Lunn的下午茶...
说道这里想起新加坡的姐妹们，幸福的...英国的牌子不少，但哪里没有四季，只能always fabulous in summer...也甚为遗憾在新的时光，与春秋冬的fashion脱轨如此之久，并曾一度肥胖到不可收拾...渐渐感到了距离...
最近想要算是较新推出的绑带系列的Canadian Mukluks...很靓丽...4百多dollar在考虑中...Thanksgiving后希望那红底的高跟鞋会有所折扣...之前去Vegas 每个商场都摆放在正中央来提醒我...Barneys NY, Neimen Marcus, Saks...受不了了..
附上一张在Vegas认真gambling 的照片...睡觉去
  (又一次来到了Lik所在酒店里哈哈)
 （在酒店Paris外...limo载去机场) 久违已经很久没有被载着兜圈, 总是很gentleman地打开车门让我上车下车, 去餐厅吃饭先拉开椅子让我入座, 过红绿灯帮我挡车, 陪我在机场people watching, 等我醒来后才开车库门开车出去怕吵醒我（怎知其实我睡的很实不会被吵醒), 为的是在毫无预见的情况下送我美美的大盒Godiva白巧克力...
San Francisco 一如既往地漂亮, 叮叮车在陡峭上下坡中行走，更是添了三藩的山城姿色, 金门大桥和Bay Bridge还是壮观地屹立在那里, 恶魔岛和天使岛同时点缀在海湾之中, Fishermen's Wharf还是充满了各种色彩和懒懒的晒太阳的海狮, Lombard Street还是在那样的zigzag中另类的漂亮...夜色中迷离的Coit Tower...Victorian 式houses的Alamo Square...去SF的MoMA笑的灿烂...Sausalito那么的悠然...而我的心 也荡起了美丽的涟漪...
 MoMA的天窗
Inside MoMA
    出海咯
   拉着行走的叮叮车(like a San Franciscan)拍对面来的叮叮车...
    （在Twin Peak山上绝美的夜色)
 (镀金的City Hall的dome...I'm always fascinated by domes...)
San Mateo 的小肥羊火锅很正宗, 机场不远的The Kitchen 广东菜很好吃, 金门大桥不远的My tofu house韩国菜正的像是在韩国...日本城里还有札幌的拉面...Red Lobster因为在纽约时的再三光顾，这次省去了，改去了Olive Garden吃意大利菜...
 约好下次去Bay area和Napa Valley葡萄庄园品酒，他说那里是最不像三藩的仙境...
 Hermes handbags &...more又一个不想睡觉的凌晨。和英国念书时的伙伴们周日K歌之后，周一周二2个晚上连续又唱了2晚...我想暂时的最近可以都不用去唱歌了。
最近几周有点想impulsive一下...而且是对根本无法负担的东西...
Hermes的包包一直以来都只是个梦想而已...但近几年来注意到那些身价过亿的明星们才热衷于收藏之后（虽然有不少台湾明星是投机性质，等待升值转手...) 觉得离自己好远...
但不知道为什么！！！最近真的很想收H家的Birkin！！！...和Kelly！！！（居然想同时收2款？？！！！但我只想收最普通的，不敢奢望，也排队都轮不到近百万的镶钻或者颜色特别的，这也意味着不怎么会大升值）。经典的橘色红色或卡其就好。还有给包包配上美美的H家丝巾...还要买手镯...
Birkin可能更适合年龄再长5岁以上，但显然越早收越早值得...但我盘算着偶现在可以背Kelly呀。近几天的我在跟自己这样对话。与近几年的状态不否，因为一直是，算了，十年之后再买吧或许那时可以负担。
对于鞋子也是...朋友在香港的海怡半岛折扣商场收了原价9000多HKD现价3000HKD的Jimmy Choo...还有三折的Manolo Blahnik...Christian Louboutin...在米国也从未见到过打折到那么便宜的...害得我非常想飞去淘淘还有没有剩下的哪怕只有一双...
估计都是前几周Window shopping 给闹的...上次还试戴了H家的一款红鳄鱼皮钻表...超漂亮。又让我有了诸多不切实际的冲动！！！
对了，还有那天天看新闻无意瞄到的
一直觉得'Posh'有很多款Birkin, 还有Kelly，尤其是曾经的一款Tricolour Kelly，她还配了条纹大衣蹬着经典黑色Louboutins...
图见：http://www.purseblog.com/hermes/victoria-beckham-with-her-hermes-kelly.html 很赞！！！见过她背过各种颜色的，粉色、黑色、卡其、银色、橘色、灰色..但没想到有这么多！！！下面的白色也超赞
P.S. 某人因朋友结婚送了Hermes的餐具！我却从来没有收到过任何一支来自他来自H家的东西...
想念凌晨2点57分躺下，早晨6点28分被荒诞怪异的恶梦惊醒...再也睡不着睡不下，怕被重复的梦魇到。迷糊时。想了很多。突然思念很多很多东西。人胖是有道理的。大多数由吃的东西想到和朋友们一起的日子。现在是GMT+8区的早晨7点刚过，头痛欲裂还是打开了电脑。 没想到这么快开始想念，在离开仅2个月后。 Donna Carmela 的意粉，我要传统的番茄加碎香肠加辣椒的Spaghetti或linguine。据说现在的餐厅名字多了一个字。变成Donna Carmela/Caipirnha, 菜单是不是也有了新意呢？怀念它们简单的意粉菜单，全部15新，各式各样的。还有意大利帅服务生们，（好像叫服务生有些太年轻，帅男人们）。早晨6点40，出了梦魇的心情，就开始思念的东西...无可救药。 还有无论是那2个人和那4个人都是轻松自在无所不谈的用餐...没有任何束缚和回避。绝对欧洲like的地理位置。。。可惜对于没车族的我们，不是很方便。 Liang Court的日本超市，显然是新加坡最赞的日本超市。胜过乌节路伊势丹楼下的，更纯粹的日本些。 The Central对面街角的肉骨茶，就在珍宝Jumbo后面的巷子。 说起Jumbo，辣椒蟹和胡椒蟹，个人觉得最好吃的辣椒版在无招牌海鲜，最好吃的胡椒版在以前住的地方附近的一家简陋餐室。Eunos附近。永成餐室吧。 说起The Central，就不得不提个人最爱的来自北海道的拉面。Santouka。想吃辣版的Miso Ramen加鱼子和三文鱼饭套餐版。虽然很多人对楼上有鸡肉汤底的那家日本拉面Marutama Ra-Men 赞不绝口，但个人试过3次，始终无法说服自己合流。拉面就应该是北海道Santouka那样的。据说在Santouka是先开到美国加州引起许多buzz之后，进而开进新加坡的。不过还没尝到过加州的，三番市和LA都有。 还有Central里面拥有超新鲜Sashimi的Tom Ton。蔡澜推荐过哈哈（第一次从麦琪口中被提醒蔡澜是何许人也，该被狠狠鄙视一把了我） 珠江楼的自助居然在早晨就开始口水。像是饥肠辘辘了一整天。 突然还想吃Suntec二楼的Waffle，每次有任何庆贺理由就去的地方。虽然个人对waffle不是很into. 但真的很想吃现在。 居然还想吃鼎泰丰和翡翠的小笼包... 荷兰村里那家English rose cafe ‘Foster’ 的下午茶Scone还有cod fish fillet & chips... Takashimaya 里的韩国店也不错... The Cuppage Mall里日本人开的正宗而又稍贵的Shabu Shabu...神户牛真的很靓 远东里俄国人开的shashlik里的火烧阿拉斯加甜品。。。朗姆酒烧起来之后的味道之香辅以冰激凌的甜...还有很怀旧的俄式，走路蹒跚但认真无比的老太太老爷爷服务员们... kinda like back in Europe...靓妹没那么多，基本服务业老人很多... （说起靓妹和正妹们，这次回国觉得国内在这几年内最大的变化，就是靓妹变超多，有没有，逐渐在紧跟日韩港台的趋势，满大街烟熏妆和精致眼线超会扮靓动辄手跨GucciLVChanel之长腿穿超短还穿超sexy凉鞋的妹妹们，还有"瘦"在这些地区才是王道的精神真是贯彻的很彻底... 不仅感叹早已落伍...不过妆是真的又开始成为惯例的化了，也渐渐展开了减肥活动...谁让现在压力这么大，让我快点回米国吧好了！改天老娘也上街扮嫩好了，化起M.A.C家新推出的Hello Kitty妆！） 还有曾经当家庭食堂的广东小厨... 还有很多很多...(樟宜机场T3楼下food court的云吞面, city hall附近食阁的水饺老鼠粉...家对面的小锅面...还有经典的薏米水...土司工坊和breadtalk都开进了中国，但没那个味道，虽然在新时，就觉得这两家很一般般，但是薏米水都煮不好，还开什么新加坡店呢？The Dome里的酥皮田园也不错...还有clam chowder颇有新英格兰的口感)...
最近最近最让人激动的一次艺术事件莫过于, 伦敦V&A博物馆举办的Vivienne Westwood 世界巡回展A Life in Fashion，北京原定为香港之后的最后一站。3月初就看过了宣传，并一度联络过Cat, 飞和同伴等等开展后去敬仰。还一度感叹，北京真的在慢慢朝着一个Cosmopolitan城市方向迈进了。
那天给G10充好电后，上网查坐车路线，因为下午空闲，打算一人先堵为快，然后回头再约朋友去。已想到回来后可空间图片的主题便可由旅游换时尚了... 但路线还没查到，就看到三里屯village的公告：
 Vivienne Westwood 展览取消
维多利亚阿伯特博物院（V&A）及三里屯VILLAGE遗憾地宣布，主题为A Life in Fashion的Vivienne Westwood时装设计展因不可预见的技术问题而未能按原计划举办。三里屯VILLAGE将继续把丰富多彩的文化艺术活动呈现给北京市民，并会及时公布活动动态。
...当时的失望无以言表...
那天和Cat在Saffron吃饭（对了五道营口的那家西班牙餐厅真的不错，还有Vineyard也不错，《纽约时报》和Time out都有建议过），说到这件事，我们觉得明显是political reasons...最后的猜测是，说不定老太太和dalai 关系不错... 俩人笑了半天。算算在纽约认识Cat已经快三年了，Cat是华裔英国人，当时我们G7里面，除了lik外，大概和Cat见面算是频繁的了，无论是从纽约回到伦敦后，还是她就职UNDP来华后去太原，又来京工作，每次只要时间地点一致，我们都会聊的忘了时间。那天不知怎的扯到职场恋情时，她的一句Don't shit wot you eat又让我再次熟悉地体会到英式sense of humour 呵呵as dry as martini...也可以无所不谈的聊。其他人都怎样了呢？听说Jes去了澳洲政府工作，Rowan成为加国公民后又回来工作了，Jason还继续在巴黎的街头穿梭，穿着他的signature长风衣么，Zhenhai还在英国继续着他独特又有见地的搞笑吧。呵呵记得2年多前Cat说起在Montreal很巧的和住肉丸一起时，就说到G7什么时候可以再像在纽约的时候大团聚呢？我们的答案颇为消极, which is never. 但我真的蛮希望见见大家的。 还有最近去罗马moon的那2个人，你们好不？明信片寄给我了没？哈哈好像我只是在关心这个。
最近打球打的很积极，网球，羽球，乒乓（不具天赋，在考虑放弃），以至于周四太积极了，小伤了左脚，有史以来第一次因运动受伤，在家静养中。也得以理一下最近的思绪。
最近还在想着很重要的事情，希望下个月米国成行的话，可以update。
另，澳洲的照片在慢慢po到FB上，因为Facebook的相簿真的比Space好用N倍。
Surfing... Aussie...Not been working, but quite hectic these days. dealing with all sorts of stuff... nothing yet to update but trip reviews.
Surfing in Gold Coast
Brunch before getting to surf at the coffee club
   (Best pancake I've ever had. from the coffee club, brisbane & gold coast. didn't get such quality even in New York City. )
Surfers paradise, perfect fusion of city and beach? ummm...might give a second thought.
   Not internet surfing, but hey, real ones. I almost got drown... twice, though this wasn't big deal at all for real surfers n those who's fully capable of swimming...
 for me? another story. Strangely, I got smile on my face in every pic...seems I had fun despite the danger of nearly being drown when trying to stand on the board...
    Lastly, everyone can be Andy Warhol. Thank JJ for the website
  Aussie Palate (图片摄于the Rocks, Sydney)
正式暂时回国。澳洲记在再次面对大搬家的诸多烦恼中搁置了些时日。已经算不清楚这几年来的大搬家，从一个国家到另一个、一个城市到下一个、从空运海运到陆运，有多少次。对于我那些可怜的行李和用坏的几只行李箱是如何陪我到处漂流，如何在我的不稳定中被转送被丢弃或无意遗落的记忆也已模糊。教训总是要少买东西，然而总是做不到。至今，我那些心爱的纪念品尤其是各式各样各洲各洋的冰箱磁铁还有很多压箱，一部分在西安的家里贴满了冰箱和空调...这次收拾行李，看着那堆磁铁，加之在澳洲新购的，发呆...好像最近的发呆越来越多，我问自己：什么时候可以有自己的冰箱，一只最大的冰箱，给那些磁铁安个家。也给自己的胃安个家。还有，想要一个Walk-in Closet。当心爱的衣服和鞋子必须折叠起来挤在行李箱的时候。A home's wot came up to my mind first.
写到这里。我想起了很多，人和事还有城市，过往的，现在的，开心吗？忧伤吗？问自己。好像说不出来。只能不痛不痒的说感谢每个人每件事每个地方，丰富了我的人生。今天中午看到一个笔记本，封皮有伦敦繁忙的公车站，隐隐约约可以看出是Oxford Circus的红绿灯路口、双层车的背面、繁忙的血拼族和隐约的经典米字旗。还有我一向喜欢拍照的，充满欧陆艺术气息的路灯。又愣住了。
这篇网志本由回顾澳洲的照片引起，本来对悉尼鱼市场的海鲜种类赞叹不已、对那些美食寻游怀念不已，本来很Chirpy，本要写my palate satiating dining there. 所以才取了这个题目，怎么知道由行李搬迁想起了这么多。Sorry, 现在失去了记录美食的心情。原谅我的题目。
P.S. BBC正在报道一只在Tasmania搁浅的鲸鱼。Tasmania, how coincidental. My Aussie Fun (to be cont'd)Back from Aussie trip, with a delighted heart, tanned body, and sunburnt arms. So so so much fun even greater than I had thought.
(Something off the topic) When I was applying the Aussie visa, I told the immigration officer "it'll be a between jobs holiday" and I wrote a perfectly plausible explanation as well since my employment certificate apparently wasn't right there available for me (forgot to mention here that I quit a month ago, and the only thing to lament was why i hadn't done that earlier, much earlier. A lesson hard to unlearn). got it on the spot.
Instead of uploading numerous photos and writing monotomous itineraries, i'm gonna render this trip in a slightly different approach as indeed it's way much heart throbbing (in a pleasantly exciting way of coz) and to some extent touching than just a trip. Got loads to share:
pure fun activities like swiming, surfing in Gold Coast Surfers' Paradise, cuddling koalas in Brisbane, patting and feeding kangaroos in capitivity and running into wild ones when driving;
gourmet and drinking indulgence, Tukka's valentine's dinner, the Coffee Club, Cafe Rock, Cafe Sydney, Dolcetta, and most stunningly, the Sydney Fish Market;
arts explosion, the Sydney Opera House tour and Madame Butterfly, Museum of Comtemporary Art (IMCA) and Art Gallery of NSW;
coffee sipping in shops tucked in narrow n beautiful lanes of Melbourne and in Queen Victoria Building, Sydney, bathing in the luxurious B&B in Apollo Bay;
climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge and driving hundreds of miles and enjoying the most spectacular sceneries along the Great Ocean Road and taking the historic city circle tram in Melbourne...and of coz, the weekend markets...and architecture admiration as well...
Surely, some pities left too:
one more day there I'd be able to catch Yayoi Kusama's exhibition in the IMCA!!! Been always loving her works, my blog photo album featured some more than 3 years ago;
one more week i'd be able to catch the famous Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras;
Wanted to stretch the Great Ocean Road driving gig further to Queenscliff, Port Fairy and Port Island where 19th century fishing towns and resorts and streets together with their usual tranquilities yet occassional excitements during festival times are well kept;
Wish I had more days to cover Yarra Valley wineries for a chic meal accompanied with fine vintege wine and Phillip Island for the smallest species of Penguines...
Guess these are partially the reasons to plan my next aussie trip.
however, most outrageouly, newly bought Cannon G10 was far beyond my capability to control...lousy colours...runied loads of my photos which supposedly to be signature ones
Seems I still got lots missing. Anyway, get started first
 Imagine Where Antarctic is when at the most southerly point of the Great Ocean Road, Otways Lighthouse (when I was there I tot it's the southernmost point of Aussie mainland). Sounds silly, but hey, I had fun. (shld give Maiqi credit for this :P thank you dear for offering such a yy tot, though it's not in Tasmania, I'll go there next time for salmon and trout haha)
  Kangaroos
Patting and feeding kangaroos in capitivity are nothing fresh, how about running into a group of real kangaroos when you are driving :P. and one of them even fell down due to nervousness...must be a rookie
Location: back to Melbourne from Prince highway after the Great Ocean Road (Warrnambool to Colac)
Wish i knew how to put a video here as only two left when i switched from video mode to phtographing :(
Btw, ironically we didn't encounter kangaroos at all where loads of these signs appeared
 Stock in Australia seems seldom see people, when they found us they were:
   Knackered after a long trip as well...that's for today and will update soon
Ohohoh lastly ME driving (but just for a little while haha)
 Guys=Jobs?不少工作经验或经历丰富人士都曾跟我讲过，或者或多或少的表达过这个意思：
其实每份工作实质上都差不多
之于我，目前为止大概适应了这样定理。可是：
每个男人又何尝不是如此？
Anyway, 我要去澳洲好好玩！！！！！不要破坏了好心情！！！ photos uploading & moreAfter nearly two years of photo albums being dormant, the windows live, in particular, the photo uploading system has changed an awful lot yet only to become increasingly user-unfriendly. Gave two goes before getting everything done. Is it time to move to other web albums which IT-challenged me can easily get my hands on?
p.s. another reason for being relunctant to update, is, besides being lazy n busy...gotta admit the fact that...i've been putting on like 20 pounds in the past year...time to face it and time to tackle it...maybe I shld map out and adopt some massive weight losing packages to echo those tailored for the lingering economic reccession? anyway get the easiest started first, badminton tmr.
Had the lousiest Chinese new year ever in my life. Not a good sign, but I'll try not to let it affect me.
Miss my parents n dear bro. |
