mind-boggling thoughts

Not going to work is a luxury

Enjoying a day off during workdays is such a luxury. Come on, of course you can't count sick days in. Sick days are just aweful days that you don't need to work. But when you are healthy and sound, staying at home and not going to work is really a luxury to the working-class.

I really enjoy today for not going to work. Sometimes I worried about being let go, some other times I want to be jobless. Well, the best thing is that I am financially independent and can be "jobless." Well, dream on... actually PP points out that if I don't have a job, I wouldn't have cherished today so much. That is true. If everyday is just like today, then there is no point for feeling lucky and good about not working. :P

cleaning

Recently I have been quite busy and lazy. That is why I didn't log on and post any new thing.

The summer is almost ending and I have been to two short vacations, which are very nice. But looking at my apt. - WOW - like a pig hole. It is time for cleaning up! I just removed the stove surface. But then I got distracted again and wanted to write on my blog. :P

Recently I want to learn a lot of things as well. Got to do it one by one and really take actions... or else it will end up staying in the same place.

First time I saw this cute doggy piggy bank in a friend's house.  (Of course I tried to steal it. But I didn't succeed.) Then occassionally I saw it on taobao.com (I think it belongs to msn China). It is about RMB 65. And 布布 has a nice shop and description about this product. It has the following description:

Tapas，Livinggear和Timestone系列家居精品，是香港Gear Atelier公司旗下的三个品牌，荣获无数设计奖项，其作品曾被法国卢浮宫博物馆、纽约现代艺术博物馆及日本大阪Suntory博物馆展示和收藏。

I tried to track down the official site. Grea Atelier leads me to  http://www.longford.com.hk/ However, it doesn't have any photo of their products. I tried Tapas, Livinggear and Timestone and it leads me to http://www.livinggear.com/default.htm but it is the same as the first one. I was a little disappointed. I want an official website that has good photos and descriptions of those adorable products!

Then I tried to track down the designers' portfolio but failed again. From the 布布 shop, I know that the top designers for Grea Atelier are 陈瑞麟 and 黄美瑜。I checked but only get to this website to talk about some Hong Kong designers ( http://hkdesign.tdctrade.com/chi/designer.asp?Page=2#Des33 ).
