31st May

I am happy today! o(^▽^)o
No any reason, just happy, feel happy! These photos were taken an hour ago. Outside looks so bright, actually it was already 20:30 (UK time). Enjoying the amazing view while had a dinner at home with husband. A lovely weekend is coming now! I am sure.＼(^o^)／

Good ×××

Good bye:
Yesterday had a delicious lunch with friends. Another good friend going back to Japan...Say good bye looks like easy thing, but for me? I don't know how to say, I am really sensitive person. I will think that I may not have chance to meet her again, because of the time, space, this and that... So I always think it will be hard to meet again when I say good bye to my friend. Though I say"see you in the near future." Anyway hope can meet again friend who I like at any time any where.

Good news:
HE got internship in a Spain company, So he will leave UK to go to Spain for work until August. Very happy for him. I believe that it will be a good experience in his life.
HE is always my pride.
HE is my husband.
HE IS THE BEST!

Miss = 想

继续创作我的＂Miss R.＂系列。
算是闲暇时间的消遣，
也是延续艺术能力的练习，
万事如此，只要搁浅下来一段日子，
然后再去做，已无头绪和能力对应。
要是，脑子不转了，灵感不见了，
再奢华的事物都是灰色的。
我喜欢金色，
特别喜欢。

最近倒数在英伦的日子，
试着把十个月的点滴片段在脑海整理，
有彩虹的精彩，也有黑白灰的无奈。
异国的生活总是让人有说不出的东西：
爱不释手的；完全不能理解的；
刚觉得坏坏的突然又变成无可救药的好；
曾惊诧于异国风土人情的人和事，
但，等到了异国的异国才发现所有的惊诧都是苍白的。。。
世界如此大！大到你根本不知道有多大。
海外周游十年的我，
到的哪里才算是异国他乡？

下一站终于可以回到我的祖国
和家人好好团聚一番。
然后，下站又是我无比熟悉的异国。。。

等积攒到世界各地都有朋友牵挂的时候，
就已经没有了异国。

传，昨晚的菜！
中日韩的姐妹，你们会是我的牵挂。

Miss R.

I call my special girl is "Miss R" from today. Hope you like her in any different style. Pictures were created today. Which one do you prefer, Sexy or Pure?

Finally, I found you!

Long time no see, my friends!
I am fine.
Though I end up didn't go to Holland & Belgium due to visa issue (No problem with myself, just embassy did not work out for me, I realized again: I am in UK now.) And feel not good with bad weather, with terrible headache, with worse mood...
But I am sure I have other interesting things to write. Tea time already is part of my life in UK. Find lovely and delicious shop became one of my hobby. Have tea with friend then talk about life, love, future... What a beautiful life! Dining out of Chinese food with karaoke also made me happy! Of course cooking is my love, can you find the beef dish? That was my new good one.

 

At home, sitting in the sofa which in front of the big window, relax to draw what my like. And outside the window there are big trees, so beautiful and powerful trees. They are just in front of my eyes! Now is spring, the best season to see flowers in UK, I want to enjoy the wonderful spring.

And the most happy thing is I created a special girl which I really like the most among all my drawing. I am drawing almost every day since I came Manchester, but I think she is my last character. Finally I find my style. She is my shadow. Actually I am drawing myself, MAYBE.
Which one is your cup of tea?

Last London

Lately busy for travelling.

I went to London to visit my best friend for 4 days while my husband was in Paris for MBAT.
My best friend, XUE who is living in London for over 10 years since we graduated from university. We were classmates at Art University. I have introduced her in my blog before, she is artist now and married with a British who can cooking delicious Asia food. Of course he can do more than this. In these days I ate his food at dinner. How to say, I was really surprised with it, what a tasty food from a British man! I also made coca cola chicken and dumplings in return for them. Brought food to a party which was their friend Birthday party. All the people like my dumplings very much. I am sure sometimes handmade food could be a kind of communication without nation. That is because everybody love delicious food, food makes people feel happy anytime.

Only food is not enough to make a wonderful trip. I also visited Hampton Court Palace, Greenwich and City centre with Xue. I enjoyed the tour everyday with nice weather. So in these days got memorable time, funny chatting with Xue, his husband's delicious food, fantastic tour, nice weather... This trip was more than anything in this lovely spring!

Show photos of my last London visit:

Xue's husband Asia food,
can you believe the food were cooked by a British man?

Hampton Court Palace.

 

Enjoyed the garden behind of the building. 

So many beautiful and lovely flowers in the garden!

 

Greenwich.

 

At Oxford street, lots of department stores,
 favourite is LIBERTY!

 

Big event on the Oxford street, interesting dance,
traditional food, performance...

 

My handmade food- coca cola chicken and fried dumplings. Macaroon and cute mirror are France gifts from my husband. My first time to stroll for dog, I never touch dog before. The dog is named KUMA, she is Xue's lovely pet.

 

ME.

 

Don't be scared of my photos,
make up by Xue and at her house.
Haha~ Just FUN!

満開

マンチェスター最高の天気毎日続いてる！
昨日街に出かけた、みんな半袖、だいぶ露出してる女の子もけっこういた。いい風景だ、ふふ！
Big news は家の窓から目の前、ものすごいキレイな桜？が咲いてる。大きいから、とても近く感じる、ありえない素晴らしい風景は毎日見えるから感謝感激‼
昨日旦那とタイ料理を食べた、美味しかったけど、一瞬で急に寿司を恋しくなってきた。辛いタイ料理の逆に新鮮なお寿司が頭に過って、もう我慢出来ないわ。寿司を日本でしか食べない私にとってつらかった！
夜ホームパーティーを開いた。部屋で花見が出来る贅沢な集まり。手料理はもちろん！たくさんの面白い話し楽しかったな～
そうそう～デパートでカーネーションを買った、中国で母の日にお母さんにカーネーションをプレゼントするのは習慣なの、イギリスから郵送出来ないけど、写真を撮って送ったらきっと母に喜ぶと思う。本物は部屋で飾ってる、満開でとってもキレイ、母のように。

Date

Spring makes whole Manchester lovely place, quite a different impression for me compare to a month ago.
Today I had a relax day as well, made fried chicken and veg for lunch, then went out to take a walk with husband to a park where a bit far from house. Played all the swing, sliding board...in the park. As if back to child. To be happy is not difficult!
Dinner was at a Pakistan restaurant, all the food were more delicious than we thought. Back home already 21:00, but outside still bright, feel summer is coming soon.

DIDSBURY PARK

As what I thought, I had a wonderful day for picnic with my dear friends!!!
Flowers are slowing fading, but still beautiful and colorful. With the good weather, we brought lunch bag to Didsbury park, sitting under a powerful big tree, eating handmade food, listening to music, taking picture for each other...
I like all the pictures I took, fantastic view that will became memories forever～~

Today

Wonderful weather every day in Manchester, Oh, dear god!
Will go to park with friends for picnic tomorrow, I suppose I will have a nice day!!!
Life still beautiful.＼(^o^)／

≪MONOCLE≫

しばらく日本語で書いてないから、今日挑戦してみるわ、ふふ～~
オススメしたい雑誌がある。≪MONOCLE≫というイギリス発の大好きな雑誌！初めて読んだのが五年ほど前シンガポールに住んでた時、19.90シンガポールドルは決して安くないもの、でも、とてもセンスあるんで、一目惚れになっちゃった...その後毎月買うようになった。もちろんすべてビジネスレベルの英語で私にはとても難しいけど～好きものが好き！
日本に戻ったら、一時にあちこちの本屋さんで探してみたけど、なかったようで、ちょっと寂しい気分~ある日街にぶらぶらして有楽町にある阪急メンズに入った、地下一階のカフェでどっか見たことあるのマークだなと気が付いたら、≪MONOCLE≫のカフェだった！≪MONOCLE≫の新聞も雑誌も、商品まできちんと置いてる。雑誌一冊で2,310円は高いほうだね、割愛で買わなかった。その後、≪MONOCLE≫のカフェで働きたい気持ちになって、ただで雑誌を読めるからの発想。店長からの面接も受けたし、でも別仕事との時間調整が困難なので...惜しかったなあ～！
去年からイギリスに来て、普通にコンビニで≪MONOCLE≫と再会、ちょう嬉しい！しかも6ポンドの安さで思わず手に入れた。雑誌にはグローバル事情、ビジネス、文化、デザイン、グルメのすべてを分かりやすく紹介してるから、周りの友達に読んでほしい!!!

最後の写真は今日のデッサン(#^.^#)
勝手に想像しちゃって、頑張ったわ！
