A week before Halloween day, my neighbors did their best to decorate the building at whole 69th St.

All day-time pics were taken at 69th St. (My street)

Each building had his own style : Horror, cute or funny etc…

According to my observation, I’d like to award the champion to this house because their range of decoration was the widest and the atmosphere was the most scaring.  

Another side of  69th St, the style was more elegant although they tried to creat the scaring air.

There were interesting security guys in the daytime, but in the night time, I may not have the same thought.

Finally, the day of Halloween was coming, yet I still had to go to class. So pity I was…..haha…

After my class, I went home for putting my stuff. When I went out again  in late evening, I was surprised about my neightbors. It was my frist time to see 69th St became such crowed cz generally, it’s calm and just has few people who do dog-walking or go jogging.

             This year, I decided not to join the parade cz I wanted something different. One of my best korean female friend and I booked tickets for the Halloween Boat Party that we had never been. You may want to ask me why I don’t show u the pics of Boat Party. In fact, it was a long story and also an unforgetable memory for us. How can I say that? At the beginning, we had felt excited to wait on long line around 11pm in front of the Pier 40 and then, we were waiting waiting waiting.....................until 1h20am, until impatient........................in the raining cold weather.
             At least, we got into the boat, but!!!!!We was looking forthe food at first cz the ticket included the free buffet and we were sturving. When we arrived the downstair, we saw three small tables where had some hummus,  empty plates and "2" Hersey's chocolates.
Everyone was so confused about "Free Buffet". Suddently, one woman volunteered to ask the waitress where the food and drink were served.
            She answered: "I don't know why they finished so fast". OMG! How could they open this poor party to us?
In addition, a counter bar of 1st floor where we odered the cocktails sold $9 for just one small unformal cup. It didn’t worth that price. Anyway, my friend and I couldn't feel any angry, just disappointed. I also felt funny because I'd recalled when I had had bad experiences, these things would have been existed in my mind forever.
Every time I talk about these kinds of stories, I must have smile on my face. As a usual, for me, bad experiences always plant deeply into my memories although I have terrible memory.
           Probably, next year, I'd like to have the simple party at home  if I still stay NYC.

P.s I guess no one have patience to read the last part of my story. I feel upset about my english cz I haven’t stuied english for few months. I’d better to start reading asap.

今天一早..有人狂按對講機...真不知道在急什麼..

沒想到是媽媽與阿姨寄的愛心包裹到了!!!

沒想到這次寄送速度超快..星期四下午寄出..星期六一早就送達...還剛好趕上中秋節...

雖然我還一付睡眼惺忪的樣子…但是一整個就超開心的!!!

尤其是看到今年的中秋節禮盒..yayaya

今年公司的中秋月餅試吃大會我缺席..

但是沒想到我居然還是能吃到"Rivon的中秋節餅乾"…(應該跟喜餅是一樣的啦)

至於"月餅"那一盒…因為保存期限加上會被撞壞..只好作罷

不過我已經很開心囉!!! 感謝我的家人!!!!

祝大家中秋節快樂呀…我要上課去囉!!!

This year is 2009, and now is almost the end of this year.

I feel quilty to write this article because it has been put in my file for long time….over one year…..

I’m used to passing the traditional holiday wherever I’m, but I don’t think I’m a traditional person.

By the time, we did Zongzi (rice wrapped in leaves / Rice Dumpling), it was in 2008 and in Paris. I remind that day seems to just happen few days ago.

However, Zongzi was successful to be eatten even though its were small and informal …. Ya!!!!!

For 2009, this year, I was in Taiwan. I had a chance to go back my country to pass this holiday, Dragon Boat Festival, and join my friend’s wedding!!! How lucky I was.

As a result, the ingredient of course wasn’t prepared by myself….haha………Then, I only made 5…..

In fact, I don’t know next year, where I’ll be……….

Perhaps, continuing to go around the world.

I hope I could be in North Europe! God gives me a job there!!!!

This article is particularly for my best friend, Ciaociao.

If comparing the Gay pride of New York and Paris, probably, I prefer the one in Paris because the european guys are more handsome. haha….

In addition, had Ciaociao gone with me, I might have had more fun in the pride.

要幸福唷!!! 那我的幸福ㄋ????

Who is “Jesse”??? He is my dear writing teacher..haha!

很特別的一個老師..上課裝正經..下課變成另一個瘋狂樣..

我把他的幕後的模樣都拍下來囉..哈哈...大家一定想不到他上課的樣子吧!

(P.S 撥放前, 請先將喇叭聲轉小! 還有請先做好心理準備唷!!否則後果自行負責!)

Part 1. - Preparation....this is just one small part....

Part 2. - the début!!! Wow!!!

Part 3. The second song....each song is too long!!!

Part 4. - My hands were shaking...I couldn't continue to support you, my dear teacher! sorry.

               In addition, my ears....!#%$#....""What!!! I can't hear u!!!"" OMG!!! (Do u understand what I say?)

Finally....this special performance is finished!!! Congradulation!

Anyway, thanks for Jesse's invitation. It's my unique experience in my new york life!!!

本來很不想記得這節日, 可是, 似乎每個人都在提醒我

這個大城市的每個角落, 宣傳海報到處飛..

連上課都離不開"情人節何處去"的話題..天呀! 這是甚麼樣的情形!

沒情人的人該怎麼辦? 雖然對我來說..沒關係

但也不用強迫這一天我一定要過得不一樣吧..

這幾天..有位朋友一直逼問我 "為何沒男朋友..為什麼為什麼?"

我怎知為什麼呀? 硬要叫我去交一個..奇怪的是..她急什麼???不懂ㄋㄟ

對我而言, 沒情人又不會怎樣..總比有爛情人好吧…

雖然偶而不忙碌, 心情不好或需要人陪時, 有小小覺得孤單...

但睡一覺就好啦..反正日子一樣還是這樣過..

呀!!!我怎麼開始爆當起怨婦..好恐怖..

總之..我心裡應該也想要找個能讓我靠的肩膀..只是目前找不到

既然現在都已經記得今天是情人節..那就祝"情人節快樂"吧..

p.s 這照片很可愛..重點是"I Love Me!!!”, 而不是" I Love U".

不知道是誰寫的..but I totally agree with that guy who wrote it.

Happy Valentine’s Day!!!

This is a "Private Party"!!!

I already sent invitations to you, my dear friends, by email or facebook!

If you haven't received it yet, it might be my mistake, please contact me as soon as you can.

See you  this Sunday!

P.s I'd like to apologize to the others who are not live in NYC at present, you probably couldn't join it this time, All of you is always in my mind. Happy New Year!

P.s For my family, I know well you probably can't come here, my blog, but I just want to say "thank you and I love you".

我不要我不要....我不要...怎麼又多一歲...我今年還沒吃湯圓耶

ㄟ...我好像應該要成熟一點了唷...(I murmured...)

最近吃吃喝喝的聚會有點太多...所以有點累了...

但是這星期又有朋友要離開了...因此還是要稍稍應酬一下...

這樣的生活直到前天(星期五晚上)...00 A.M...

............"" My 27th Birthday ""............

那天的朋友們居然在Bar裡跟waitress說"It's her birthday now!"

遞了一個小的切片cheese cake 給我們....稍稍彌補一下..哈哈

但我好喜歡這種感覺...好溫馨....嘻嘻...

隔天...再次陪Iva 去吃她愛吃的Brunch..."Sarabeth's"

因為上次她沒吃到她想吃的...服務生說只有假日才有....她不甘心...

而她忍到上星期六日...一起床就去排隊...但忘了先通知我..臨時找不到我

只好一個人吃著令他覺得幸福的早餐...那時我沒從夢鄉回來...sorry啦....

直到昨天才順利約好起床後一起去排隊....開心....

(奇怪的是..每次來這家店..但會是下雪天呀???)

之後..下午..開始了我曲折的遭遇...先是搭地鐵前往哥大圖書館

沒想到地鐵意外不停站...直達168th St. (學校在116th St.)

而我們當時在79th St. 有點扯!

其實我的紐約生活算一算也有四個月的時間了..往北最遠卻到125th St.

沒想到這一天我意外破了紀錄...同時還找到最有特色的紐約地鐵站...

(因為本人我..不是很欣賞紐約的地鐵...對我來說沒啥特別的感覺..)

晃了一個小時終於成功到達圖書館..本來應該要開心的..

但是...................我跌倒了....圖書館地板小姐先送我兩個紫色大包包...

真是謝謝唷....看了一下書...晚上又有聚餐...大家計畫幫我慶生...

真的很感動....只是萬萬沒想到...要出圖書館....地板小姐知道我喜歡大包包

就又送了我一次....讓我的紫色包包...變大了...很神奇吧...

幸好..我的後半段節目順利進行..開心的吃飯聊天喝酒談心...

沒想到大家還很貼心幫我準備禮物..超開心有你們在我身邊...謝謝你們..

I love u , my friends.......

P.S 在台灣及巴黎的朋友們..我也愛你們唷...謝謝你們的祝福...超開心你們大家都還記得我的生日...也謝謝我親愛的家人...

Merci bcp à tous mes amis et à ma famille.

Je vous embrasse! Gros Bisou.....

最近真的很勤勞在更新blog..

但其實我很多正事都做不完...快哭了啦..

目前只想快快po完....加油加油

在遊行前一晚..Mr. Masaru (我日本朋友)..堅持要去看吹氣過程...

因為當天他要去機場沒辦法參加遊行...我們一群人也只好捨命陪君子囉

(p.s 但就是先看有啥卡通人物而已呀..吼...超冷的耶...)

其實前一晚由於大家去Kyoung Tae (韓國朋友家)開Party

有點晚才回家...所以隔天早上大家都躲在被窩中..懶得出門...

最後陸陸續續就只有五個人到...因為實在有點睏又有點冷

真的是High不起來...快快結束...各自就衝回家補眠去了...

結論是: """空虛...."""

上星期看了Shuko blog裡的新文章...以及他寄來給我的卡片

心情很複雜...一邊替她開心...她今年去了德國的耶誕市集...

還沒忘要寄明信片給我...令我超感動...

但另一面...卻想起明明沒多久前我還跟她一起在巴黎逛耶誕市集呀!

怎麼時間過這麼快..一下子就分開了...想再一起過都有困難...好想念那些日子

人要往前看..不要一直回頭...(我在說給自己聽啦)

這時我也突然想起..我似乎連前年2007的聖誕節都沒po

我以為我po了呀..但怎麼找都找不到..我在做夢嗎???有撿到我這篇文章的人

請麻煩寄回給我唷...我將送精美小禮物一份...報答您!

光看這些照片就很開心...當時我們好像才認識不久..就變成好朋友

她實在太可愛了...好喜歡她總是充滿活力...只會帶給我笑容的女孩...

一起過了無數個吃吃吃,喝喝喝...的快樂時光...

來這裡發現..大家都好弱...找不到這種伙伴.Shuko, Tu me manque bcp!

但也因此感情好到連肥肉都一起成長...哈哈....

在我blog裡很少會看到小孩吧! 但是Shuko醬...她很愛...

而且她會呈現瘋狂狀態...

個性可愛到令我覺得若她是小孩...我應該就會愛小孩了吧

Je souhaite qu'un jour, on pourra le fêter ensemble à Paris.

就在昨天..我對我的2008年說了"再見"......

很快地...一年又過了...

在2008的最後一刻...試著為這一年做個結論...似乎有點難度...

總之在新的一年..爛桃花不要在跟著我了(這是我新年第三個願望)...

現在來回顧一下我的"Dec, 31, 2008" 吧...

原本不論朋友們怎麼說服...我都堅持不去Time Square (時代廣場)的

沒想到最後定力不夠還是被綁架了...還被綁九個多小時...都快哭了

第一站..於下午兩點半多到達46-47th Street 附近的"麥當勞"...(time square在42th Street)...人山人海...異想天開的三個笨蛋..還想待在二樓眺望螢幕倒數!!!...最後卻連要走出大門都困難...

p.s 照片中..是笨蛋三人組中的一員...哈哈

隨後..就在馬路上閒晃了起來..難得看到平常塞到不行且人多到爆炸的主要街道..

這一刻因被封街..而顯得空蕩蕩...一年之中應該沒幾天可以站在這條馬路中央拍照拍到高興吧...

在冷颼颼的街上晃了沒多久..就已經快被凍壞了...我直喊..我要去starbucks!!!....哈哈

但發現!!!街上的店幾乎都在中午左右就已經開始準備關門...

連starbucks都早早關門...天呀....

好不容易走到較遠且裡面還算熱鬧的starbucks..一整個就很開心...

這就是我的第二個休息站....

但進去還沒休息到也還沒排隊買到熱摩卡...店員就跑來跟我們說..在十分鐘就要關門囉!

我已經體驗到當流浪漢到處被趕的感覺了...

 第三站 : " Friday's "

之後又繼續在街上閒晃著...看看手上的錶..才四點半左右..

等待的時間總是過的特別慢...

先點了一杯雞尾酒消消氣...

(照片中: Fried Mozzarella & Cocktail.)

沒想到這雞尾酒真是要我的命..不知是因為加上炸cheese還是另有其他原因...總之..讓我覺得很反胃...超想吐...

過沒多久..視線已經模糊到看不見了...幸好五分鐘後就恢復意識...

(Bruschetta Chicken Pasta & Cobb Salad)

在隔沒多久..我們的異想天開計劃又破滅了..原本想說待到時間接近再出去..

結果服務生說..他們經理交代每桌顧客只能待90分鐘...這啥爛規定

之後想說繼續在這解決晚餐..看能不能拖延一點時間...結果吃到一半居然跟我們說"需不需要袋子打包帶走?"...吼...真是氣死我...

大家又匆匆忙忙吃完...但實在吃不下..那一大盤沙拉..我只有吃兩口

第一次覺得莎拉這麼噁心..因為已經很反胃..又聞到blue cheese..OMG

但我有努力把pasta吃光...因為三人中有一個人超弱...每次都吃幾口就說飽...

跟他去吃飯都是我在吃..吼...很沒樂趣...

所以當然就兩人合力吃完囉...我真是超強的...想吐還可以幫忙吃....

我真想幫自己放鞭炮...

不到七點又被丟回馬路上..吃飽了..清醒了..但好冷..

只好在路上蹦蹦跳..欣賞一下紐約夜景囉...為了照相手都快凍僵了..

大家應該要很感動才是...

第四流浪站...24h supermarcket..我在裡頭晃好久..一方面為了取暖

另一方面...我發現了很多有趣的東西...哈哈..玩得很開心..又不會被趕...

還多了兩個日本妹來會和...我們笨蛋成員變成五人囉

在最後等待的三四個小時..已經爆多人...多到我們在57th Street...

都已經是這樣的景象...一點都不誇張...但我身邊的那位仁兄說...

101跨年比這擠很多倍!!!是真的嗎????

我的流浪站其實還沒結束..最後一站 "Cafe Metro"..一間速食餐廳

因為我站在外頭自娛了一個小時左右..我真的不行了...腳趾頭都沒感覺了

一看到那間店有營業就直吵著要進去..不管他們的答不答應..我就已經衝進去了..

馬上先去上廁所..點了一杯熱可可...就被椅子黏住了...待到又被趕為止..

但也已經賴到11點,只要再撐一個小時..我的2008年就過了...

這時要感謝一下這兩位仁兄..這幾個月來的陪伴, 一起跨年, 再加取暖....ha

謝謝你們...

給我一個很難忘的跨年經驗..雖然很High...

但我想我真的這輩子再也不會做第二次傻事...

2009第一站..去Eva家休息...為何要大老遠去他家ㄋ?我也不知

總之就想親口跟他說" Happy New Year" ..也不想這麼早回家...

休息夠了...今年的第一天把自己搞很累...睡個好覺...希望醒來一切都是新的開始...

但是我的新的開始在哪???我現在還在家寫blog???哈哈

Anyway...Happy New Year! Bonne Année! 新年快樂!

--My First Halloween In New York City--

雖然是Halloween但沒放假..

照常..一早去學校上課..沒想到My classmates are so sweet...

還準備了自製手工餅乾及甜點給大家吃...超開心..

下課後..大家就各自回家換裝去..而我則跑回家不小心睡了個午覺..哈

直到下午約4點多..大伙陸陸續續到我家會合..當時我和Amy (我室友)

正在煮東西吃..雖吃過午餐但還是覺得餓..我一定會肥死...哈哈

結果Jimmy & Kyoung Tae 也想吃..最後只好又煮了兩包泡麵

真是一群豬...吃飽後..休息完..就開始準備著裝...

Jimmy的"掉妝"吸血鬼...因為粉沒塗好..haha..只能遠觀

我的..則是無主題..亂七八糟..超沒誠意..哈...

忙到七點多, 終於大家都弄得差不多..快快出門去...

整路上都是怪人..當然我們也是..還沒出門就嚇到我家鄰居..

這一次房東還幫我們準備糖果要我們放在門口給鄰居小孩..真周到...

大野狼超cute的...還有隔壁的大公主..不知為何就很想跟她照..哈

整個覺得很妙..

玩的超開心..大家都很努力打扮..有可愛的, 性感的, 也有恐怖的.

我想我下次也要好好認真弄一下囉...不然有點對不起大家...

一路上..我們這群人..最受歡迎的應該就屬Masaru了吧

走到哪都有小孩跟女生想跟他照相..天線寶寶還真好用..

在回家路上還遇到同伴..只可惜還少一隻..妙的是..居然都是日本人..

且那兩個女生長的超可愛的唷....忘了要電話...哈哈

Voilà..c'est mon premier Halloween à NYC

待在巴黎三年多..直到最後一年才去參加Gay Paradise...

因為我很懶...很多要曬太陽..或是要人擠人的地方..

幾乎都是隨當天心情決定...

只不過..今年也許是最後一年..以後說不定遇不到這個節日囉

更何況..我的好姐妹"超超"...今年來巴黎念書...

本以為大家終於可以聚在一起努力..沒想到..時間意外的短

但我還是很開心..能跟他共度一個多月的快樂時光

說說當天的情況好了..不然好像都在混水摸魚...

下午我很晚才到..因為天氣很熱..很懶得跟著去遊行

只想到終點站"Bastille" 等待遊行隊伍回來

人真超多的...只不過我們很納悶...帥哥呢????????

超超很努力找..但都沒找到優的..害他超沮喪的...

再加上很多傷眼的阿伯們...超勇敢地"露"...真的很好笑

超超不知去哪拿來的小菊花...把我裝飾成這樣...

我就這樣帶著我的小花一整天..直到晚上回家...

還蠻cute....顏色超亮...這是我今年夏天最亮的顏色囉...

14, juillet, 2008 法國國慶日

不知道會不會是我在巴黎度過的最後一個國慶日..希望不是...

但為了以防萬一..還是要好好慶祝一番..."Le temps de Pique-Nique"

至今想到當時的氣氛..還是覺得很開心...好想念大夥們..

Jo, Emily, Ciaociao.....etc......

左圖..只是部分食物..哈

每次我提議要野餐..大家都好努力準備食物...沒時間的人也會努力變出東西給大家吃...我真的很開心有這麼一群朋友...

Muriel還特地帶了她的小提琴..免門票露天音樂會唷...

當天一早..我還超早起床..為了準備mini銅鑼燒給大家吃...

(但這lingling特製銅鑼燒只有花生跟芝麻兩種口味唷)

還有..宜靜雖然遲到很久..但看在她帶"自製油飯"的份上..就算了.哈

真的很好吃耶..有台灣味..可以嫁人了啦...

只可惜快樂時光總是過得特別快...

J'aimerais vous voir bientôt.

Je vous embrasse. Bisou
