Autumn Feel...

I was driving around the premises of one of my clients and couldn't help but stare at the terracota leaves.

At one point, it was so windy and I found these crispy leaves falling off trees like a spectrum of red candies. So beautiful.

I love nature, I am nature, I want nature, I nurture nature. I love Autumn!

Buffalo, Upstate New York Baby!

What a place.. I'm glad I was here for only 5 days. It felt like I was in the middle of nowhere. Such a yuppie place; not a single colored soul round here. The places I had to go to (for work) felt like I was in the country side which was a pleasant drive but when I stopped by the mall with my co-worker, it was like a ghost mall. Most of the shops shut down, very badly lit and I could count the people in there with one hand.

What a strange experience.

I took this pic because this place was about the prettiest place by far or the liveliest... clearly does not look that appealing, aye?

I don't think I'd pay a visit again and it's a greater shame that I didn't take that extra mile to see the Niagara Falls which was just about 30 mins away. Dammit!

Feeling a little old

I do feel like an old lady today, I just about do nothing but shower, work and sleep and the same cycle every day. I can’t get a chance to call my family because of the time difference and work pressure BUT the peace of mind I have here is just beyond belief. I suppose we can’t have everything in life. We have to trade one thing for another. Being all alone is sometimes the greatest drug for relaxation although you suddenly discover “Shit, I have a needy side”. It’s nice being around Americans though, they’re so adorably naïve! I sometimes feel I’m on another planet with aliens masquerading as human beings.

Everything is going wrong?

I've been in DC for the past month. Everything went wrong when I first got here; hotel didn’t want to check me in because my details were different, the lease office did not leave any keys to my apartment after I checked out of the hotel, rental car gets a flat tire just when I'm about to jump in and head to the airport to catch a flight, even worse couldn’t check out of the hotel because the credit card of the firm was rejected so I had to pay, then comes this dodgy cable guy to fix my internet connection and starts telling me that he served in the Iraq war for 16 months and proudly says that he was the one who bombed the mosque (the time when there was a wedding in there). I tried not to show any sign of emotion, I can tell he was attentive to my body language. Oh well, it's all good now. I've settled down although my journey initially felt like a horror movie … now it's more like a tragic comedy. As the saying goes "when you feel, it's a tragedy, when you think, it's a comedy"... so true!
