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!

Gotland

Amazing place, Gotland. It is an island of Sweden, I really want to go. It provide a good place for Artists, Architects, Designers and Craft mans to live there.

I like the concept of the house building there. The concept is give you a basic form and you can design yourself. It is much effective in terms of time, materials and costs.

I like the spacial, a lot of white, warm grey, and lots of natural green color. I like the materials of stone, wood, ceramic and textile that they use, create and design.

half way

These days start to revised my CV, it is very strange to me. Other than working crazily for Cloud 9, there were another 2 years doing freelance at home and also part time instructor and lecturer in Art insitutes. Seems I have 8 years did not handling my CV and portfoilo. It is only 5 months here in Milano, but seems living here for a year. Have a nightmare last night, thinking of my dog and my mom. I want to see my mom as soon as I can, I am afraid to lose her. She is the only one in my World. When I wake up, the first thing was going to recharge for my credit in cell phone for long distance call. Fortunately, she was on line in Skype so can chat for longer time. I will be back on early August, at least for 1 month or long term. I do not know to stay here in Europe for internship is valueable or not as it is spending me a lot of money per month. Other than CV, need to redo the portfoilo with new order and layout. One of the issue is I need to borrow computer as my new computer will arrive in 21 more days! Mamma mia!

back to Milano city again

Just back from Sicily this morning, at mid night time.

It was very strange feeling to me, when I was arriving Centrale station from Bergamo Airport, I felt lost. The place was not familiar to me but seems I have been there quite often. Maybe I am not have deep relationship with this city, it is around 5 months.

Most of the time, I speak English. It is just for communication, not so much classmates' mother tongue in English. So it is just for communication, few can really can speak it accurately. Get into the tram and then I need not to say any words. I am talking to myself most of the time in Cantonese but the environment is in Italy. I suddenly feel so strange, in Italy, my thoughts still in Cantonese language but most of the time, speaking English.

It was so messy, I didn't know where I am. I am not familiar with with this city and country.

What's next

Waiting for such a long time and the weather here still very cold. I feel very disappointed! Disappointed about some of the lessons. It is not fair to say disappointed to the course, but more on my decision to make the choice.

I feel quite lost when I start to ask my self what's next.

What's next? In a life time, always need to think about it.

I am so sorry to be emotional in these 2 weeks, I cannot laugh and be calm. I want to escape from my classmates and do not want to talk. I cannot really control myself well.

I feel bad to keep waiting, but still have no chance to go for longer trip with my good friends here to go somewhere. Until everyone has no interested to go together or not possible to go together. Yes I feel disappointed.

Waiting for Italian course to start. Waiting for cold weather gone. Waiting for the new Spring. But time really flying and I will come back to the busy HK life again and then I will forget here.

And then I will miss here. And now It is more stupid that I know I missed to enjoy this moment.
