Back to Perth...

Perth is said to be the most isolated city in the world. But it's one of my favorite cities.

And I am here now.

台北出差中~ Celine in Taipei~

總算回到了朝思暮想的台北! 雖然是出差...

I am finally back to Taipei!...although it's for work...

Bullitt

Bullitt is such a man's movie. But because of Steve McQueen it is also a woman's favorite, if you dig understated cool guys.

It's a pretty slick movie. The original soundtrack is excellent.

But what I like the most is that the main character drifts between work and private life - work as the endless gru...Read more

中國生活步調 快美英四倍

今天在報紙上看到了這篇有趣的報導 - 這和中國古代神話裡的"天上一日, 人間一年"有什麼兩樣呢?

中國生活步調 快美英四倍

中國近年快速成長眾所皆知，亞洲開發銀行日前把中國今年國內生產毛額（GDP）年增率預測，由原先的10%上調至11.2%，但要如韝騆ㄕP國家的生活節奏？渣打銀行19日發表一份名為「神州宮闕，今夕何年？」的有趣報告，報告中提出「中國年」的概念，一個美國人待在中國三個月感受到的變化，換做在老家要待一年才能感受到。

渣打資深經濟學家王志浩（Stephen Green）表示，通過計算一段時間內個體平均收入增長速度，可以粗略地衡量某一社會發生變化的速度，當掌握了各個國家的數據後，就可以比較增長速度的不同計，算出「中國年」。

據渣打的計算，美國和英國的一年分別相當於中國的2.8與3.1個月，換句話說，中國的生活節奏是英美的四倍，一個在中國生活兩年半的英國人在中國所見到...Read more

我生病了...! I am sick...!

這幾天發生了件很慘的事, 那就是...我居然食物中毒了!  (拖著虛脫的身體在這裡為您做實況報導...)

知道這件事的朋友都問我: "妳到底吃了什麼?! " 我其實真的沒有亂吃...

話說星期六晚上我們高高興興地到朋友家作陪客, 主要是邀請兩個各自代表英美的貴賓. 朋友家還自備廚師, 一頓飯吃下來十幾道菜酒足飯飽,  吃完了之後大家還很HIGH的到KTV續攤... 那時什麼事也沒有.

回到家之後, 半夜兩點開始我的肚子就開始隱隱作痛了... 我還傻傻地想說也許吃太多消化不良吧. 就這樣折騰了整個晚上, 到早上六點一夜沒睡的我已經到了發冷汗劇痛不已的地步...Read more

Funny Face

I spent the afternoon watching an old movie with my mum. We love Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire's "Funny Face" (1957). prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /

不能說的秘密

昨晚看了周杰倫＂不能說的秘密＂．　

對我來說，　與其說是看電影，　不如說是為了我的回憶，　因為電影的場景就設在我唯一且短暫的台灣高中生涯．　我在淡江中學只待了短短的一學期，但滿滿都是甜蜜與苦澀屬於青春的回憶．

電影裡學生們奔走的長廊，　畢業典禮的大禮堂，　淡江有名的八角塔，一走進校門內綠蔭遮天的走道，還有英式橄欖球隊在綠地上操練的吼叫聲．．．

在校園裡的純純的愛，　那種相信世上最重要的只有你跟我，　其他的人事物只是附屬品，　我們只為對方而活的天真．．．

Wanna Be

Ok, where else can I show off my limited talent as a wannabe singer?

Early last year I went to a studio and recorded a 5 song EP as a gift to my mum. My mum has been my biggest fan - always the one with most enthusiam while others all went "oh come on, can we go now?" during my long solo karaoke sessions.

Of course, like a tone deaf person, I would never discover the truth about my singing. But I am happy in the belief that I could have become a singer "if only..."

So here you...Read more

Dig

I just love the video clip. What a perfect match for the lyrics.

Dig By Incubus

We all have a weakness

But some of ours are easy to identify. Look me in the eye

And ask for forgiveness;

we'll make a pact to never speak that word again.

Yes, you are my friend.

We all have something that digs at us,

at least we dig each other.

So when weak...Read more
