Happy Halloween!


This Halloween, so I can post something really scary! hahaha.
Came across this new pet concept (genpets), although I am working in the biological research field and am myself working on stem cells, I also find it very odd and disgusting.
Could we play God? or should we bother to do it? Especailly for commercial product like this. I admit that if it's a bit more cute maybe I would have a second thought :p but still....that's a bit too much. What do you think?

Everything I think of there are people before me 2


Arrrrrr headache, how come people are so fast?! Starting to worry if it is my problem :>
They are doing what I was planning to do, pack your own fine chocolate box set and includes some my favourite brands :<, but I'm glad I can order through them to cheer up myself and dont need to eat so much by ordering boxes from different brands :>
Alright another great gift idea for the season, huh?

A great relief to be because my favourites are not carried by them...yet..., so maybe I could still start my own store with my choices, heeeeeee :)

Great gift idea for the gifts season

It's the gift giving season again......your purse's ready for the slim up? Mine is complaining about me feeding it with too many junk food (recipts) yet working out too much and drying it up :p, so I decided to join the Dove's campaign for real beauty hahaha.
So, highly recommend this rather low cost but very special present idea :>
Sorry I know I put two unrelated things together :p

Custom love song


Not intended to help them market their site. But with so many friend's wedding coming up, maybe you would like to have your very own song to play during the banquet?
Guys, it's a really romantic idea for your Girlfriends :>
Takes around a month for them to deliver the song, so get prepared!!

Getting inspiration from talks by smart people

Just discovered this site www.ted.com from www.lifehacker.com.
TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then its scope has become ever broader.The annual conference now brings together the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes).
Here's one example, Jacqueline Novogratz is pioneering new ways of tackling poverty. In her view, traditional charity rarely delivers lasting results. Her solution, outlined here through a series of revealing personal stories, is "patient capital": support for "bottom of the pyramid" businesses which the commercial market alone couldn't provide. The result: sustainable jobs, goods, services -- and dignity -- for the world's poorest.

電影《不能說的秘密》Secret

" Follow the notes upon the journey At first sight marks one's destiny
Once the voyage comes to an end Return lies within the hasty keys"
The film is quite surprising, but the music are much more exceptional then the acting :>


Perfect cocktail for ladies :>

My fellow drinkers would know my all time picks are Rose, because of its colour (yes, i'm a visual person :>), that it is a hybrid, and the aroma is so special we cannot find in plain Red / White :>.
Dom perignon rose vintage 1996 is always on my wish list :)
Now I found a even more fun way to enjoy champange. In china we have tea that will blossom in hot water, try add this hibiscus flowers into any drink (hot or cold) to make a pretty color and at the same time adding the floral sweetness and the charming look. When's your next party?!
Oh, you can buy from here.
Or for those in HK, "yau chi leung bun" also has the marinated dried hibiscus flowers they called it "lok sun fa"! tasty too, I think the shop in Rockville, MD and Chicago chinatown also has it! Ladies, a great snack to keep you pretty :>! Cheers :p!!

genius thought :>

Home Sick 想家lu........

It has been 4 days already, really really homesick,but where is my home? Today got to know this song from a friend's blog, although I dont have someone/ something particular to think of but having been floating around for 3 years, I do really hope there are persons or things somewhere some place that could tied my heart and soul to.....a peaceful place that I can rest completely without worrying what will happen the next day. The moment that you wake up, you know exactly what is going on solidly. Here? yes, you can do whatever you like, who cares? but maybe we do want to achieve something that someone who would cares.....maybe I still haven't learn to be independent....yet?!..really wants to hug something called "root" :>


想念 黄淑惠 袁惟仁
我在異鄉的夜半醒來 看著完全陌生的窗外 沒有一盞熟悉的燈可以打開 原來習慣是那麼難改
我在異鄉的街道徘徊 聽著完全陌生的對白 當初那麼多的勇氣讓我離開 我卻連時差都調不回來
我的夜晚是你的白天 當我思念時你正入眠 戴的手錶是你的時間 回想著你疼愛我的臉
我的夜晚是你的白天 當你醒時我夢里相見 只為了和你再見一面 我會不分晝夜的想念

Last drop of the Romance

"Romance is a beautiful women's fragrance that was created as a fragrant ode to the timeless essence of falling in love. Ralph Lauren Romance for women is a sensual essence of velvety woods, extravagant florals, and seductive musk. Romance contains a wonderfully feminine blend of Sungoddess Rose, Marigold, Ginger, Chamomile Oil, Yellow Freesia, White Violet, Lotus Flower, Day Lily, Patchouli, Oakmoss and finally Musk......"
Today I finished the last drop of the bottle of Romance from you. Such a milestone to me, it means quite a lot. Don’t worry I know it's completely over to both of us, but just feeling sentimental....and really want to save it for my memory. Sorry if I am selfish on this........
Can you believe it? the bottle actually has lasted for so many years? (5? 6? pls help me with this. I don’t remember it clearly when you gave it to me? I thought it's a Christmas present? Actually you said you would write me journal on every single moments we've been through because you know I have a bad memory :> but I never see it done, hahaha!)
Initially I just think it's intriguing that with a punch line of "the last drop of the Romance....." it could pave way to a wonderful novel......(maybe I will write one but no idea yet for the story plot) :>
The fact that this fragrance's salute to a woman falling in love resonances my feeling......every drop of it did walk through times with me when I am trying to fall in love again.....maybe it's a blessing....or maybe not......it went through with me so many hard times too to understand who I really am, what I truely look for and how I actually think of love....... (indeed just got an email today and it is just what the stars have said :0)
Yes I guess I am now strong enough to truely fall in love again....yet it's almost gone......
Thanks again for it :)!

Hopeful!!!!! A new life goal in mind!


"The month ends on a beautiful note. Jupiter, in your travel sector, will link to Neptune on October 30, a VERY glamorous aspect! Neptune is in your house of true love, a house that also rules all of life's pleasures, so this night should be your best. Book a wonderful restaurant reservation, enjoy a visit to a spa for a massage, or go to a concert or play. Jupiter is in your house of short distance travel, making these two days ideal for a quick trip to another locale. If you can take time off, do so from October 27 through October 31. Wait, there's more!

Your career is about to become a major focus, too, thanks to Mars, now visiting your tenth house of professional status, achievement, and honors. Pay attention to the phone calls and discussions that come up. Life changing possibilities are in the mix - more exciting than you might guess. Proposals will have long-term implications. A promotion or new job may come up quite suddenly - be ready. This emphasis on career is due to extend into May. From now on, when planning your wardrobe for the coming three seasons, allocate more to outfits that you'd wear to work. Work is where you'll be spending most of your time in months to come, and also where you'll be making your biggest and best impressions."

I really have decided on my new life goal, Holistic therapy, hope my dreams could come true! Work for it, yeah!
Hope the things the guy who read my palms said will happen :>

Listen to the stars 2


This will be the Columbus Day three-day holiday weekend in America (October 6 - 8), so it looks like you'll be able to get away if you want to, and enjoy a measure of luxury, too. (Sounds good!)

Romantically, Venus and Saturn will be in the behind-the-scenes sector, conjunct on October 14, a possible low point for a relationship, so if you've been seeing someone secretly, things are not likely to go well this month. Reality will bite and at that point, things may unravel. Next month Venus will move into Libra and overall will be much improved, possibly because you will have left this alliance.

why need to be secretive?

Is it that insecure to reveal everything to others? Or we really do need to keep something just to ourselves? Which way is a proof of exsistence? a proof to whom though? wonders.......
Until I find the answer i would remain my nudity.........
