Escape

A week of sleep, swim, food, clubbing, spa, reading, exercise, pc games and idleness awakened the long-lost young soul...

Bangkok retreat highlights - TOP LEFT: tai-tai style high tea with Lara. TOP RIGHT: happy meal with lovely Nok and new friends. BOTTOM: www.bedsupperclub.com - who did we go to bed with that night? ...we thought there'd be more than just each other...

Time to restart.

豁出去漫遊不通知親友
那快感少有那管想去多久
抱得你未夠於這裡悶透
才誓死跟你逛盡地球
何必每件壯舉都需要理由
伴你去出走
快活而內疚不管舉世追究
願扣上你雙手
自繁華浪處到沙丘戀愛
能有幸這樣放肆至足夠
別再管誰咒你曾經荒謬
闖蕩異地亦未枉相戀
超出煩惱的禁忌
視世上人不理
想早晚能見你
曾經反叛也是我運氣
天與地年老了不再飛
無那份勇氣
怕一世未能沙礪中擁吻
有了你先有這最淒美質感
縱使有地震不因我犯禁
誰話你壞人不減吸引
明知我做錯過的總要奉還
但我愛一眼
有自由浩歎都深刻過不散
讓你我似走犯
在窮途入教堂進諫上帝
求你讓我共愛侶過更多晚
代價高仍愛你曾經荒謬
天與地逃過約束拋開生死
這樣也許了不起
但有一日轟烈乏味
就讓彼此都別戀他人也不忘記
別個再沒法比
瘋過後能放棄
回家安樂過亦有運氣
不顧忌
才瞭解喜與悲能以後銘記
人有天總怕死才注定別離

So, I promised to give an updated account of what I've been doing... hope it's never too late for the ones who care!  

March - TMNT private kungfu session. I used to think they're really ugly but now they seem quite normal to me. I must be turning geekish.

March 20 - sweet colleagues and birthday me. After that day I lied about my age twice - never happened since the day I was born. Officially older and will work on being wiser!

7s - Uh-oh, first and solid proof that I didn't turn wiser; got caught pouring vodka luge in 7s box with a big smile ON 7s WEEKEND SCMP. The whole world thinks I am alcoholic and I am serving alcoholic clients in vodka girl outfit. My parents started to ask, "What's your job again?"
 

Post-easter - short trip to Sydney with Shir, utilizing the best dress award prize we earned back in Christmas. Blackberried 3 full days, had some fun with nature for 2 full days. Fair enough.

Mid-Apr to now - working 18 hrs per day for 30 consecutive days. Went to Shanghai for China Forum last week. Met a lot of friends, had some really good time doing massage and clubbing, enjoyed being a bouncer at registration counter. A few more days in Singapore/Bintan to go then I am flying free. I need air.

Once upon a time, there was this girl working so damn hard. She spent every single second possible around her work desk with the attempt to clear away piles and piles of projects. The last break she took was way back in Christmas (which feels like 5 years away) while she was actually still quite busy turning around London and Edinburgh with her dear friend Bingju.

One day, she went to bed and she was still there after 5 full days of Easter weekend. In between dreams she did leave bed for two short gatherings and two work sessions in office, but she always returned within 3 hours.

Jin Yung's novel (it's the high school Chinese language syllabus 射鵰英雄傳 if you have to know) and soldier (with his boring CFA syllabus) were in reachable distance during the entire retreat.

She's the happiest soul on earth.

Now she wants more! She's going to explore serenity in Sydney tomorrow. Update soon.
