Lullatone - Little Song About Raindrops


Lullatone

Wake Up Wake up (mp3)

Would you wake up when the raindrops sound like this?

I guess I prefer to stay in bed and dream about the colours of the rain if the raindrops can play this lovely melody.

red cotton tree '05


I still haven't visited the same tree this year though it's already the blooming season for red cotton tree.

Maybe I should take a visit to this old friend before the flowers are gone...actually, I worry if the same tree will be gone soon since a construction site just next to the tree started last summer and some big branches were cut.

With the help of Ze, I just finished editing the video of my visit to this old huge hero tree in 05.

click here to see the video.
the background music is Pas Si Simple by Yann Tiersen ( from OST of Amelia )

i am not a tourist

Every weekend & Sunday, the area near Leal Senado ( the city hall square ) are packed with thousands of tourists. Well, it's not surprise to find me there on saturday or sunday afternoon. Everytime when local friends or relatives see me there busy in taking snap shot or video, they would joke "Don't pretend you are tourist!"

Well, sometimes, I do hope to have the mood of being a tourist.

video link for "my walk in Leal Senado" last week.

i forgot how i returned home last night

This morning, my senior colleague stood in front of me and laughed. He said he forgot everything when he woke up this morning. (We went dinner together with more than 100 colleagues in our company in China and...we drank a lot).

Well, I confess it's kind of fun but on the other hand, it's quite scary when you can't remember the thing you had done after drunk.

I told him "when you left the restaurant, you pulled a waitress, who was sending you out, inside the elevator and kept kissing and touching her in front of all people inside the elevator for a few seconds. I bet you are familiar with her...since I didn't see her feeling too uncomfortable for your hot act." The senior colleague laughed even more loudly after I told him the thing he had done. He said..."Wow, I really couldn't remember my naughty behaviour but it's absolutely FUN! Let's go again soon."

I hope I didn't do any stupid thing last night...as I couldn't remember how I drive back home too. When I woke up, the first thing in mind is "why I am at home?? how I return home?"

I tried so hard to "keep thinking" about the questions as I felt a bit worry if I did any bad things. I feel a bit relief when I could finally remember I drove myself back home SAFELY <-- I can only make sure that after I examine my car and I couldn't see any trace of damage from my car ). But...did i do stupid thing like my senior colleague in restaurant? So far, no other colleague told me that i did, so I assume I behaved so well last night even I drank too much. I PRAY , at least.
