my flatmates are over the ocean

My flatmate is over the Ocean

My flatmate is over the Sea

My flatmate is over the hometown

Oh bring back my flatmates to me

Both of my old flatmate and new flatmate are not in Milano, I feel very boring at home. One is back to China for 1 month, one is back to hometown for 10 days. I occupied the 1000 fts flat by my own.

I like cooking a lot here as the vegetables are huge, colourful and fresh! I like doing nothing a lot and also because of nice weather in these weeks, around 20 degree! I have to enjoy this short spring time.

unexpected gift

I got a lovely message from my mom that she told me there are 2 flowers blooming in my house. I just bought it 1 years ago and after the flowers gone, most of the people in HK just through it but I just want some green in my house, so I keep it.

I sometimes watering it and after I come to Italy, I don't think my parent will go to watering it and also the flat has occupied by other. So I am so surprised just like an extra gift.

I miss my mom a lot, I need to go back soon. I miss my dog a lot, I know I cannot see him again. When I walking alone, I often think of him, the bye I said to him before I come italy but now this will be the first time when I really back home and he will never be there.

Lugano - about dream & talent

It was a relaxing trip to Lugano which located in Swiss. It is just 1 hour trip from Milano but costs 20 euro for one way, stayed there for 2 days and 1 night and thank my friends' friend borrow us a place.

It is so good to see some musicians' life there. I can see it is not easy as they need to keep practicing instrument and doing part time job to survive. And studying music is so long, even longer than architectures. But why their living are not easy. They need talents, they need passion, they spending so long time to study and practicing. But there are not enough full time jobs for them.

And their part time jobs may not really related to Musical playing or teaching, it is really tough situation. I cannot imagine how to balance the heavy work load but keep playing music. It will be easy to lost the goal and priority. Most of the artist jobs are very alone. Staying near the school is good as you have teammates to support but it is also a very individual achievement and may not always can walk together. So it is very complicate situation, day by day, the direction should be clear and also disciplines are needed. Artistic persons are much difficult to follow.

I really hope them to keep their dreams and go for the direction clearly. , it is wasting time if you just survive. If you just want to survive, do not do artist way. If you do artistic direction, be hard, be clear and be prioritise the positioning.

Good luck!

They are lovable classmates

We could not catch the train so we stayed 2 more hours in Genova. But it was more fun, almost all the pictures were taken in this period.

This is the first trip we being together with no argument so we can go for another longer trip together! haha! But normal conflicts will occurs when staying longer time or overnight trip.

They are lovable and I do not remember since when I always being with Soph, Selen and Gian. When I meet a new Korean friend who asking me how to survive here that I cannot remember the Italian street names. And that question reminding me the first time I being with these girls out for a drink and they insist to bring me to bus station and wait for 20 mins until the bus came. But I am 10 years older than them, haha but they always protect me. I cried after chatting to Selen 2 days ago, it is good to communicate and release my own feeling.

Since some years ago, I start to hid my own feeling. Before that I always express until I realize it will hurt yourself in Oriental society, people rather like polite way and dislike to know most of the true issues. Sometimes being direct also hurting people. I don't know, balance the pros and cons always difficult.

Good Friday

We found nobody was in the Parco delle Basiliche tonight. Today is Good Friday for Jesus, I saw some people reminding it to others.

Cooking with Novacat

Always love Soph creative cooking. And new found that Engineer really love to fix problem for the household issues.

Bad days

I am almost collapsed in these weather. Within a week, the temp. from 34 degree dropped to 12 degree. And the humility is too low for Eastern Asian people in 20% with over 30 degree.

I feel painful when I put lotion or cream on my face every time. And I nearly sick for busy schedule on the first day of design week in Milano.

10 am out to Genova and then back to home for release the booklets at 1pm, 2pm go to Moscova for asking air ticket and compare if I need to cancel my original one. It was stressful or I need to fly on this Friday. And I don't want to bother my teamates. So I feel tense. And I bought some food there for it closes to China town. And then finally I decided to go for Italian class, but it will take me 4 hours for transportation and lesson.

And after arriving Bovisa, I used to review of the language but I have no energy to do that. After class at 8:15pm, taking train and then the bus 94 didn't come and I waited for 15 mins outside with dropped temp at 16 degree. Went back home but the escalator did not come as people not closing the door, so the escalator stopped funciton. I was really sicked after walking for 7 floors from Ground floor.

And today are the 3rd days that the escalator still stuck on 7 floor again!!!

Before that I waited outside in Duomo for 20 mins that my classmate keep saying I am coming. I don't want to wait more for whom always has excuses and never be on time. It is 12 degree outside Duomo, for 20 mins! Please respect other people and their time.

Waiting

Waiting for my new Mac book pro. from HK. I have without computer for almost 2 months. It is a wonderful feeling that I give myself a lot of excuse doing nothing.

I just thinking can I live without computer? Can I live without work? Still want to do nothing. I am very bad in managing myself. I want to learn Italian, I want to do ceramic. I know I need to manage time better to achieve some goals.

Waiting for my trips to Berlin and Gotland! Felice!
