Tomoko Sawada

Recently, I am very interested in a Japanese fine art photographer, Tomoko Sawada. She isn't anyone new in the field. It's me that didn't know her until I saw her books lately. Her work attracted me more than anyone else. She isn't good in picture taking, but concept building. Although her works can be easily recognized being done by Photoshop, I admire the time and the energy that she has spent. I don't think I have the "heart" to do what she has done.

Tomoko Sawada rocks!!!

Lovely Connie

Recently I have been extremely busy for work. I don't get back home earlier than 11:00pm at all. I have to go in-house training on all of the weekdays after work. Tiring, but what can I do? If I don't finish up of these training sections, then they will keep haunting me as devil . . . anyone who had experience working for American companies or governmental departments, then he/she should know what I am talking about.

Connie is a lovely lady. She knows that I am tired, so she cooked for me (at least 2 times within the passed 2 weeks). She even walked BeeBee, and waited me at the bus stop with BeeBee together. BeeBee is so cute that he runs towards me crazily when he sees me on street. He gets crazy by licking me and begging me for hugging. It's a feeling like . . . a lovely son sees his long lost father! Ha Ha . . . Connie's kind of jealous of my over-loving towards BeeBee . . . For example, I always being cheered by BeeBee for finishing a small task. She said that a small task by BeeBee is like a mission impossible, but a mission impossible by her is like a joke in my eyes! Hey, what can I do? BeeBee is my son.

No matter what, I love you both!

BeeBee's Attitude

Connie and I have been extremely busy lately. I didn't even have time for sleeping. I have to get up at 6:00am, and I don't get back in bed until 12:00am or later every night. I have to attend lots of training courses after my daily classes. This is why I couldn't wake up at all on the last Saturday. Connie woke me up at 3:45pm. I nearly slept for 15 hours totally. This week is much tougher than last week, as I have more training courses to attend, along with the existing night class, and others. I am looking forward for the next semester, as it will be much easier.

I sensed that BeeBee has an attitude towards me lately again! I didn't do anything wrong to him. I love him as much as I love Connie and myself. I feed him well, and I walk him every day even under exhaustion, but still . . . seems like not enough. He demands more of my attention by giving me an ignoring attitude. He on purposely cages himself. We tried to call him out, but he ignores all of our command. Connie feels that also. I think I better work on it before it's too late.

Job Started!!!

For the whole week, I got up at 6:00am catching the 42c bus to work. I usually sleep during the 50 minutes ride. Afterwards, I have to transfer to a mini bus, which cost me $2.50. So, it totally takes me about 1 hour to 1.2 hours getting to work from home. It's kind of a long commute in Hong Kong. It only took me 15 minutes mini bus ride to work 2 years ago, when I was working for the Hallmark Cards.

My working hours are 8:30am to 5:30pm. I am not fortunate enough getting myself onto the full-time plan. I am just a full-time on a contract base, but it's better than nothing. I am not being paid as much as when I was working for the New York Post. After tax, they are kind of similar, so I think that should be fine.

I am keeping my second job on Monday night. Wishing to get more, you know. I am exhausted, as I just went to bed right after I got home for the whole week. Maybe, I shall tune myself better in the coming week, as I had just finished my five months vacation.

Connie resigned from her job. Her last day is right at the end of this month. She is gonna take a break, just like what I have done. She has save enough to support herself for the coming next 100 years . . . according to what she has told me. Yeah Right~~~ I think I better start saving more for the future need!
