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.

work in progress

Just want to show you all a glimpse of my flat-work in progress, i have to wait 5 weeks for my kitchen, and nothing is quite complete, but i'm looking forward to it.

Kitchen and Ikea

one of the worst day of my life.

internet

Finally, internet is hooked up and this.............. means a lot to me.

Happy Chinese New Year

Spending another Chinese new year away from home, it didn't really hit me until i called my mum, and heard all those new year song, it really got to me. Although I'm coming home for my brother's wedding in three weeks time, but is not the same. I miss the atmosphere, i miss the people, i miss 'it'.
I wish everyone of you have a fantastic new year, and may Ox year brings you lots of prosperity and happiness.

short update

Started my new job, moved into my new flat (is a mess right now, no kitchen, no sink, boxes everywhere), got a car(used), living 440km from HIM, new city, zillion of things to do....... this seems like endless. If i tell you I'm happy, then is obvious that I'm lying. I know, i know, it takes time, i fucking know that.
Last minute decided to visit Him this weekend, is kind of weird coming back here to Dusseldorf, i felt like 'coming home', which i think is bizarre. I guess it is because i know the place, i know where to get good Chinese food, i know where the shops are, and i don't have anything to worry about. I wonder how long it takes to make me feel like that in Nurnberg. Let's see
