I like interior design. Not so much doing it, because I don’t have talent in this aspect, but rather the fascination with how raw materials, furniture and lights, can give so much life to a home, reflecting the personality of the owner. Whenever I flip through related magazines like Vogue Living, Style Home, Home & Decor, even Ikea catalogue, I get lost. There are just too many styles one can create for their living space. Every show room looks beautiful, although only a few really call out to me and make me wish I had a home like that. So far, loft apartments really interest and intrigue me. I guess I like the idea of having a high ceiling, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a second storey within the same apartment, like this:
or this:
Gorgeous living?
And I would really like to have:
A bookshelf like that, where I can have all my books neatly displayed, away from the dust, but yet so accessible.
I worked with the man twice, during <凡间新鲜人> and <宝贝父女兵>. I remember him as a generous man, full of laughter and wit. Once when we were filming in studio, he made a huge pot of Taiwanese-style mee sua for everyone because it was a Sunday and most stalls in the canteen were closed.
By now, most of you would have heard about MC King’s death. I was gripped with disbelief and shock when I first learnt about it in the midst filming today. My heart is heavy with tears and all I can do is hope that he is at a better place right now.
HAPPY NEW YEAR! And I’d like to share this video with all of you to start the new year on a positive note.
It was awfully quiet as I made my way home last night, after a sumptuous dinner of Mexican food. At the Hong Kong Cafe where I sat with my friend till the clock struck twelve, no one around us jumped up with joy, or toasted or cheered to the arrival of a brand new year.
It’s like any other day.
It is just another day, just as what a good friend of mine would say. He feels that New Year celebrations reek of commercialism, that is why he never makes a deal out of it. To him, it’s merely a skip of the digits, just like the numbers on the clock, the numbers from lottery, the numbers on the stock index. Life goes on.
True, but still I’m all excited about the new year. Perhaps it’s an excuse to start anew, and to focus on what lies ahead. That’s why I’ve set myself a new year resolution to de-clutter my life. I have the urge to trash, organise and clear some space at home, because I think the environment that we live in will affect the sort of aura that surrounds us too. It’s not superstition, it’s more like a psychological encouragement that if I can be free from all these material possessions, I can be free in spirit. There is too much negative energy in the world. Everyday in the news, there are bound to be (at some point) disasters, accidents, political turmoil, murders, suicides, family disputes, legal tussles and so on.
I’m really looking forward to 2008, where I can lead a life that is undisturbed and at peace.
