Unfortunately, when I exported the files from my previous wordpress and imported it again, the posts written in English were fine; but the ones in Chinese turned into weird characters. Sigh.
Since Muse City is my priority right now, I’ll have to put Simplce on hold until Muse City and my portfolio is all finished.
Alrighty.
This place will be inactive until I get my design site set up, again. So far, I’ve settled on the same. the Lounge, with the “the” and “Lounge” with a captial. I’ll explain why when it’s not merely an idea anymore.
I’ve been working on Memoir and another project. WordPress is finally no longer a problem for me =) this means no more bugs, spams, a neat and easy to manage updating system! I know, Memoir has a fairly simple layout, so here you go: Garden. It’s not my usual style…the Lounge will definitely go back to my comfort zone >:)
Be back soon!

And here comes 2009…happy New Year! This year’s New Year’s Resolution:
I was not planning to read the Twilight saga by Stephanie Meyer. Not because it’s not well written — in fact it’s very entertaining and much better crafted than most of the romance novels out there — but because I knew if I read the first one, I would want to finish the series. Unfortunately, I just had to read the summaries on Wikipedia, and Bella’s character really frustrated me. Then, I simply decided that “out of sight, out of mind” was going to settle the case for me here.
Actually, not many people know that the first novel, Twilight, was intended for an adult audience rather than the teenage fangirl frenzy that it stirred up instead. My English teacher told us that, and I do see her (and Meyer’s) point. The novel is out there to remind us of the days when we were still young and well, helplessly in love.
Anyway. So I had to see the absolutely gorgeous novel cover on someone’s bookshelf; and I just had to read it…and everything fell in place within 24 hours. There goes my 80 bucks which I was planning to spend on my J-rock CD collection, sigh.
By the way, the movie was a poor attempt at satisfying the fangirls’ hunger for seeing Edward Cullen in real life. Catherine Hardwicke didn’t make it a complete disaster, but Edward’s character was not well developed at all compared to the novel. I speak so harshly of it is probably because I’m not in love with Robert Pattison like everyone else. On the contrary, I absolutely loved Peter Facinelli who played Carlisle Cullen.
Dear God,
I don’t know what I can say or do to extend my gratitude. Thank you for bringing Teukie back to me… completely unharmed. Furthermore, thank you for the valuable lesson.
With love and sincerity,
Cindy
That’s right, Teukie is back… and I mean, even the monitor is working now! I went to the Apple Store at Eaton Centre with Teresa today. Without scheduling an appointment in advance, a Mac Genius actually spent an hour helping us! Long story short, they managed to put Teukie into the remote disk mode. As soon as they did that, the Mac Genius said: “Well, your LCD screen isn’t broken…it’s actually working perfectly as you can see.” Me: “What??!!” And there Teukie was…with its pretty little apple logo lit up on its back =O
So, my conclusions from this series of events are:
And people wonder why Apple has such loyal fans…well, if you must know — Apple really does everything they can to help you…even if:
On a side note, I finally received my copy of D’espairsRay’s [coll:set] today! I never thought I would be able to find the original Japanese copy…but I did on Amazon!! My gosh, I’ve been searching for this CD for almost 2 years now! What a wonderful day today is 
Teukie is still alive!! What a Christmas miracle! And lesson learned! I turned it on just now, what a relief it was to hear its start up sound, followed by its usual soft hummings. The only thing is that the monitor is broken 
it’s completely black. Well, it’s a miracle as it is that my beloved Teukie is still running after in took it more than 250ml of water. I must thank my beloved Abercrombie bag as well. I remember was soaked after I found out what have happened; it must have obsorbed a lot of water for Teukie. I don’t think I still want the new macbook that badly now 
Dear God,
Thank you.
With love and sincerity,
Cindy
Today started off quite well. I was able to finish a new layout….until I put my thermis in my bag — the lid not completely screwed — with my beloved Teukie :’( oh noooz!!!! By the time I found that out, it was 45 minutes later and most of the water leaked. Teukie won’t start up and I just googled water damage. A person said water itself does not do the damage, as long as I leave the machine to dry completely. Please come back to me, Teukie, it’s not your time to go yet :’(
Dear God,
If you will spare Teukie, I promise I will treat him with more kindness than ever! I don’t want another macbook. Please give him back to me :’(
With love and sincerity,
Cindy
传说人死先到鬼门关，途径黄泉路，便来到忘川河边，忘川河水呈血黄色，里面尽是不得投胎的孤魂野鬼。河上有座奈何桥，桥分三层。平时行善事的走上层，善恶兼半的走中层，行恶的人就走下层，会被忘川河中的厉鬼拖下河中，不得投胎。奈何桥上有孟婆，要过奈何桥，就要喝孟婆汤，不喝孟婆汤，就过不了奈何桥，过不了奈何桥，就不能投胎转世。孟婆汤又称忘情水，一喝便忘前世今生，一生爱恨情仇，一世浮沉得失，都随着这碗孟婆汤遗忘的干干净净。今生牵挂之人，今生痛恨之人，来生都行同陌路，相见不识。
为了来生再次见到最爱，你可以不喝孟婆汤，那便跳入忘川河，等上千年。
千年之中，你或会看到桥上走过今生最爱的人，但是言语不能通，你看到他，他看不得你。千年之中，你看得他走过一遍又一遍奈何桥，喝过一碗又一碗孟婆汤，又盼他不喝孟婆汤，又怕他受不得忘川河中千年煎熬之苦，千年之后若心念不灭，还能记得前生事，便可重入人间，去寻找前生最爱的人。
这一碗孟婆汤，其实就是活着的人一生所流的眼泪。
有一天， 一个有智慧的教授问他的学生一个问题：“为什么人生气时说话是用喊的？”
所有的学生都想了很久， 其中有一个学生说：“因为我们丧失了“冷静”，所以我们会用喊的。”
但是为什么别人就在你身边而已， 你还是用喊的， 难道不能小声的说话么？
为什么总是要用喊呢？教授又问
几乎所有的学生都七嘴八舌的说了一堆， 但是没有一个答案是让教授满意的。
最后， 教授解释说：“当两个人在生气的时候 心的距离是很远的，而为了掩盖心中的距离使对方能够听见，于是必须用喊的，但是在喊的同时，人会更生气，更生气距离就更远，距离更远就要喊更大声。。无形中你的大喊却伤害了你向着喊的对方”
教授接着说：“而当两个人在相恋时会怎么样呢？情况刚好相反，不但不会用喊的，而且说话都很轻声细语，为什么呢？因为他们的心很近，心与心之间没有距离所以相恋中的两人通常时耳语式的说话，但是心中的爱因而更深到后来根本不需要语言，只用眼神就可以传情，而那时心与心之间早已经没有所谓的距离了……
