The Swell Season-Strict Joy

Happy Birthday!

Jack is turning 30 this month. I secretly phoned his best friends whom he hasnt met for almost 2 years. I asked them to attend the "Surpise Birthday Dinner" which I arranged for Jack! They are very sweet and willing to keep the little secret for almost 3 weeks.

The dinner was great and Jack was so shocked to see them (in a good way). He just cant stop smiling from the beginnig of the dinner to the end of the day. The most important thing is he finally has his first SNAP-ON tool (His b-day gift from ME!!!) I would like to complete the whole SNAP-ON collection.

P.S. Thanks for Mr.Doggy and Mr. Beat who made this dinner happened!!!!!

We love eating and sometimes can be very crazy!!

I love you guys and I really had a great time !!

Happy Annivesrary

I prepared the "love"straw by myself




It's our anniversary :D
Jack got the illustrated book "Long way down" from me and I got the nice dinner :D

The albums I love recently

The XX- XX
OH! Man, I love their music soooo much. I first heard their songs from BBC radio 1 and I cant wait to get their album. This is certainly a challenging album, but it's incredibly rewarding once you really get into the groove. Its sexy, polished and just beautiful. You could also listen to on a lazy day reading or napping.


Monsters of Folk- Monsters of Folk
This collaborative effort between legendary artists is remarkable. However, you always have to worry when different artists join together for the not-so-novel "supergroup," but the team on Monsters of Folk deliver the goods. The results make it one of my favorite new albums of the year.


Arctic Monkeys- Humbug
To be honest, I am not a fan of Arctic Monkeys. However, this album is no where near their first two. The Arctic Monkeys talent really shines through on this album, showing they can play darker, more edgy songs and still get your mind hooked on them. It's stunning!!

I Love KAZAK!!

Aco, Thanks for your second issue of KAZAK. I know it has been a long time since I received the first one. I would like to see new issue coming up soon.

I love the new cover. It is fantastic as always :)

Tabby got the new cat pan!!

We bought Tabby a nice and stylish cat pan yesterday. She is very interested in her new litter box and doesnt want to leave there...Hahaha....

Strange Weather!!

The global warming does affect Taiwan's weather deeply. I have packed all my summer clothes 2 weeks ago and suddenly the temperature goes up to 30 degrees. It is so hot that I cant believe it has been in Nov. I want the proper winter like 5 years ago :(

Jack has been so busy at work recently-2 TV commericials, HSBC AD and some other projects on the way. He comes home almost 2~3 am in the morning and sometimes he needs to work during weekend. I barely see him or chat with him :(

Finally he had some time to relax this weekend and took me to this beautiful place. It seems not so many people know this area. We had a great time with our Kawasaki boy :)

Back

I just came back from HK last Sat. I am so exhausted and still try to recover from it. Hmm...I am getting old...That is what I finally need to admit!!

I miss Tabby and Brownie so much. Tabby is gettting bigger and she is so pretty. I just can't keep my hand off her.

Underworld Live

They are one of my favorite bands 12 years ago. Somehow I lost my interest in them during these years. One night Jack told me they are coming to Taipei to hold an event and asked me to go with him. To be honest, I prefer Chemical Brothers rather than Underworld. However, their live just made me so impressed. When they started to play "Born Slippy"(from Trainspotting), everyone was shouting. I love that crazy moment!! At that night, I had such strong illusion that I was back to my old uni days.

Kate Moss for Topshop 2009 Autumn!

Kate Moss ditched the heart-print tees and printed mini dress for unique knits and sumptuous coats. Her Autumn collection for Topshop includes grungey knits, party frocks and luxurious fabrics with pieces — much more sophisticated and tailored than any of her past collections. And whatever it is, I like it. You know you want more

Mr.B's first try for swimming

Jack wiz Mr.B



My good mate-Mr. G is going to take the job as a branding manager in China. Before he left, we decided to take our dachshund for swimming. It was a raining day but it couldnt stop my excitment. I put on my "Wiener Lover" Tshirt to match our "Dachshund Swimming Day".

Mr. B is so nervous when he was put into the pool. However, he adjusted himself to water very quickly. We took some funny pictures and had a great time together. I will definitely take Mr.B to swim again.

To my mate: Wish you all the best and see you soon!! :D

Awsome! They did it again!!

Eels- Hombre Lobo
It is absolutely the best Eels album I could have hoped for. Eels has put together a wonderful portfolio of melodies. There is a really strong sense of the journey that the Eels have been on, and I am so in love with the song "The Look That You Gave That Guy". You could feel their progression in this album. So get it and enjoy it!!!


Beirut-March Of The Zapotec
Jack played his music the other night and I totally fall in love with this album. Its colorful and exotic sound is so delightful. His voice is as warm as elsewhere, which is great for the cool summer night!


Graham Coxon- The Spinning Top
My best friend Sally is a big fan of "Blur". When we were in the uni, I am so into "the Beatles" and those old rock bands. She is a very Brit-pop person and I was influenced by her gradually. Then we started a radio show, where we introduced those underground music, metal, Brit-Pop and so on. I still can remember how hard we work for each show, we get to know more bands and music- their history, tehir background and how they make the music. Now Graham's music reminds me of those good old days and I miss to work with Sally so much. We were such a good team....

PIXAR PIXAR PIXAR!!

Jack and I are always fascinated with the power of animation and the world it creates. We often attend different film festival in Taiwan and in which you could see much animation from different countries.

We went to Taipei Fine Art Museum where Pixar exhibits the animation art which the studio have created for over 20 decades, by combing art with technology. This exhibition features nearly 600 items, including my favorite "Zoetrope". And I finally have the picture with One-Eye "Mike Wazowski" and "Sullivan" after a long queue...ya!!

Here comes Kate Moss

September W magazine features of my favorite Kate Moss. I hope to see more of her work this Autumn :D
