i finally understood

This is the most normal evening of my life, sitting on the sofa, tired, not a very happy day, then i browse through my dvd collection, pick one and make myself comfortable.
Just when i finish that episode, it suddenly hit me. I wasn't thinking about my day, i wasn't thinking about my problems, i wasn't thinking about anything, but just the movie itself. I finally understood the importance of it, it not only gives you pleasure of spending your free time, to distract you, or to educate you, to inspire you, but it gives you a chance to hope, to imagine, to dream the life 'could be'. That's why they call it the DREAMWORKS (or DREAMSWORK?) don't know. Anyway, my point is, i finally got it, and i can't believe how slow i am, god forgive me.
Hollywood, i salute you......(i meant the movie industry). Please do not stop making good movies, i really really need it now.

stay or leave?

The Australian wild fires moved me to tears. Almost 200 have died, few thousand homeless, and most of the casualties were believed to have stayed and fight the fire. What would you do? do you stay and fight? or fled and live?

Busy

Finally i have time to sit down and relax a little bit, this past 2 months was hectic, with my family's trip, moving out and moving in, getting a car, starting a new job, spending Chinese new year in London, travelling back and forth to Dusseldorf, getting a kitchen, .......I'm happy to say many of the boxes are ticked, though this flat is a ongoing project, but at least is more like a home now.
Home is partly settled, so what's next? my job.
I have to say i admire those people who are constantly job hopping. I find it quite hard to adjust myself and to adapt to new environment. Puma has a very different structure than Esprit, after 5 weeks i still feel like i just started the job the day before, in addition to that, i have a very different role in Puma which makes it even more complicated. But with the worsen economy situation, I'm glad that i have a job, a flat, no mortgage and no loans, just a small debt to my parents because i have to buy a car and I'm not willing to pay the 9% interest rate(what's better than 0% interest?), i do feel lucky, indeed.
After my flat project, I'm going to save some money and get myself a nice sewing machine. I miss making clothes, i miss everything of it! The satisfaction it gives me, designing without limitation and no one to please but myself. I hate to see my creativity becomes blunt!
I will update with more photos of my flat soon.
