Hmm...It seems like Winter is not ready to leave us yet...
It was snowing on the first day of Spring!! I was so surprised to see snow ... I thought I have got rid of it since the last winter storm at end of February. Well...apparently, I am wrong. That's okay...because I am so ready for the Spring!


Love,

A bReeZy eAsY SUNDAY

Daylight saving has just started at 2am this morning. We have one less hour of sleeping time! I never been told about the daylight saving concept until I came across the Pacific Ocean three and a half years ago. Fall 2005 was the first time in my life being exposed to this fresh, new time saving concept. I always wonder who and why these people invented the idea of daylight saving. Maybe I should find out why...

It's Sunday! Nothing can put a big smile on my face, besides the sunny day, my hubby, my family and friends! Yupe...It's the pre-Spring weather this time! The highest temperature of the day hits 65 degree (Fahrenheit)! Wow!! Wow!!! Wow!!!! I miss the "numbers" very much!! Let's welcome the Spring (exact date: March 20th, 2009)!!

I truly enjoyed my walking "trip" on the beautiful-breezy-easy Sunday!
What else is better than finding a nice place for brunch on the beautiful Sunday?
Therefore, I made up my mind to take a trip to West 4th Street Subway Station and explore the neighborhood around that area.

Exploring the neighborhood with help from my hubby was incredibly fun and exciting! He is always my personal mobile GPS! No one could replace his place, his role, his presence. However, we have to do it on the phone this time. He was checking the pancake restaurant online while giving me direction where to go. He leads me from one to the other point during the searching of the restaurant. It reminds me of the 'blind person's game' we used to play at campus, Drake University. I used to close my eyes, hold his hand, and walk as he leads me step by step. I miss it so much. Although it is just a game, but it does require a full length of trust on a person who is giving you direction. And I did. He has given me the confidence in him. Thanks, my dear.
Thanks to my personal mobile GPS! Although I did not go to the initial place where he suggested, yet I did enjoy the experience of exploring the city with his help on the phone!

Here is it >>>

Village Natural Restaurant
Address: 46 Greenwich Ave (between Charles St & Perry St), New York, NY 10011

Facts:
1. It is a vegan, international, health food place in Greenwich Village.
2. The decoration of the restaurant made me feel like home, pretty cozy and homey with wooden tables, chairs, cabinets, and floor.


3. Displays are antique and unique.



4. Servers are very friendly, always put on their smiling faces toward customers.
5. Healthy food + warm service + cozy ambience = a '+' point to my wonderful Sunday!


Let see what have I ordered:
tada...
One of their Breakfast Combinations:
Egg Platter
two organic eggs, english muffin and yam tempura
+
A cup of hot Organic Coffee from Fair Trade (Introduced by the server from Tibet)

I love the organic coffee very much! It's fresh and smooth.
The egg platter is a good one to kick start a laid-back Sunday too! It gives you the protein and energy to shopping, for girls maybe?! It applied to me though. It leads me to walk and shop till the day turns dark =p

I will definite come back and visit them again! Hope you will, too!

差点儿就把冬至给忘了。。。
今天早上当婶婶拿了一碗汤圆来我家时才让我想起又是冬至的季节了。。。
时间过得真快, 怎么转眼间又一年过去了。 我们又长大了一岁。

一年过去了, 我在这一年中究竟完成了些什么呢?

在曼哈顿中城(FASHION DISTRICT)工作都快一年了。 从原本对晚礼服一窍不通到现在对她的熟悉, 还算不错。原来一件晚礼服在商场上看见的竟然是需要进过一短满长的阶段。 从设计师的草稿至样衣完成的时间大概需要一个多月 (有钉珠的), 无钉珠的大概二至三个星期就能完成。

设计师,纸样师傅, 花稿师傅, 钉珠师傅的结晶品的开始。。。
那结晶品可不是就这样可以摆在商场上或设计师的专柜上,因为那还需要好一段时间。
样衣将会摆放在设计师所属的 Show Room 里, 得让 Buyer 精心挑选好后/Sales Team 的 Sales Forecast。 订单一定要达到某个数量才能考虑大量生产。 要不然,此结晶品的生命就到此结束了/直到另一位设计师改造后再重新出发。

从订单的开始,也就是订布,样衣重新修改尺寸以达到客人的尺寸要求, 和样衣整体的构造监察过程。 当所有的尺寸和构造达成后,工厂就能大量生产此原样衣。 这段过程是最长和最费时的。。。样衣并不是一次就能通过, 要是一次就能通过 - 那也只是难得一见的一次。 这费时和费神的过程大概需要两个月的时间。

好了~大货终于完成了 ---〉该是将她从中国运到美国来了!!
此结晶品上市的时刻咯!! 希望她会得到非常好的销售量, 以便我们能再次大量生产, 让更多的女士拥有此美丽的衣裳。 :)


除了上班,我还完成了个婚礼企划的课程。 终于可实现梦想了!

完美婚礼和婚姻是每个女生,女士们理想的人生旅程。 当然,男士也是一样。
究竟谁能让他们梦想成真,而且可让他们无忧无虑的享受他们的另一人生旅途。
当然是要选择拥有丰富经验和教育的婚礼企划人咯! 他们不但能帮你完成你们的梦想婚礼,而且往往还能超越你们意想不到的完美婚礼 =)

HMM...总算在2008 年开始了我将来的理想旅程。
加油!Let's celebrate for our achievements in Year 2008 and welcome the New Year!

Movie Sunday!

Just went for a movie this morning and it was great! Even though there were only five people in the theater room in the early show, I truly enjoyed the musical movie. The movie is good as usual (just like HSM and HSM2).

Life is changing - major decision has to be made - everyone is taking in charged of their future.
High school is not the end, but it is a starting point to move on to a better future and you.

The soundtracks is good, however, I only understand the meaning behind each and every song even more after I watched the movie. Especially the song named "Can I Have This Dance" ...first introduced by my sis - Jyy Huey, who insisted to have her bf to sing along with her...=)

Enjoy the music and sing along with the lyrics provided~!

Lyrics to Can I Have This Dance :
[Gabriella]
Take my hand, take a breath
Pull me close and take one step
Keep your eyes locked on mine,
And let the music be your guide.

[Troy, Gabriella]
Won't you promise me (now won't you promise me, that you'll never forget)
We'll keep dancing (to keep dancing) wherever we go next

(chorus)
It's like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance (can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance

[Troy]
Take my hand, I'll take the lead
And every turn will be safe with me
Don't be afraid, afraid to fall
You know I'll catch you threw it all

[Troy, Gabriella]
And you can't keep us apart (even a thousand miles, can't keep us apart)
'Cause my heart is (cause my heart is) wherever you are

(chorus)
It's like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance (can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance

[Gabriella And Troy]
Oh no mountains too high enough, oceans too wide
'Cause together or not, our dance won't stop
Let it rain, let it pour
What we have is worth fighting for
You know I believe, that we were meant to be

(chorus)
It's like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you (like you)
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do (way we do)
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance (can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance

Can I have this dance
Can I have this dance


(Thanks to Emilie for these lyrics)

Changing from Daylight saving time back to standard eastern time...

Earned an extra hour of the precious sleeping time...
