2010-07-13 Meeting the Puppy 第一次见小狗狗

It was all smiles walking into the Westie's running area! They are so happy & they have such a tremendous energy it was difficult not to feel like you have gone to doogy heaven! All their smiling faces over white floopy hair & pink ears & tongues busy licking. They are wonderful!
The breeder was a wonderful lady called Lyndy who is a showdog expert. All her dogs are brought to show & she is such a responsible doggy lover. She talked about her process with the Westies & her love just comes right through. She only has about 3 litters on average a year so I was really lucky that she is intending to let me bring one of the little ones home in 3 months. A puppy needs her mummy for the first 3 months at least!
Did you know that puppies have the most amazing smell on earth!!!!! They smell like a rose bud fresh in morning spring! Like new born puppies are not already the most loveable creatures on earth.... they were created to smell so fantastic! As they are newborns, their mummy was really protective so no no to coming near - super cute!
Fingers crossed in 3 months time!
走进狗狗的运动场地时，脸上都会带着大大的笑容！它们真的有一股无法抵挡的快乐力量！让自己觉得好像在狗狗天堂！它们脸上的笑容，白白的粗粗毛，粉红色的耳朵和不停舔着的舌头。真的太可爱了！它们的饲养主人是个狗狗秀专家，充满了对狗狗的责任感。听她谈到狗狗们就可以看得出她对它们的用心和热爱。她每年才有三队产下的小狗狗所以自己真的很幸运她会考虑让我把一个宝宝带回家，可是那要等三个月才行。小狗狗一定要和它的妈妈在一起至少三个月才行。
你有没有嗅过刚产下的小狗狗？它们就像在春天的小玫瑰，太让人爱了。小宝宝才十天大所以妈妈很保护它们。
还要等多三个月，希望一切顺利咯！

2010-06-13 Last Day in Vegas

(1)'Phantom of the Opera' at the Venetian hotel is fabulous! The theatre was built especially for this musical which I think is the best ever from Andrew Lloyd Webber. He really is such a genius & for days after I still can't get the spectacle & its soul-renching music out of my mind. If you ever hit Vegas, please do watch this even if you have seen the musical somewhere else before.... it's worth the time, effort & cash!
<歌劇魅影>真的是太好看了！因为在拉斯维加斯的舞台剧场地是特地为它而建的。真的觉得这是安德鲁·劳埃德·韦伯写得最邦的舞台剧。过了好几天那些歌曲还一直在我脑海了。如果你有机会来拉斯维加斯，一定要去看看，因为会有完全不一样的体验，保证是值得的！

(2)The Venetian is such a gorgeous hotel! Inside & out with a man-made stream within which carries tourists along a stream inclusive of singing boatman and all! Plus the shopping was spectacular. I bought this amazing mask, made in Venice & made of fine metal there for US$130 which I though was a great deal :) There is my coming Halloween costume piece!
在拉斯维加斯有个很美丽的饭店叫做`The Ventian'它的外观和里内都是那么的壮观，连天花板也很美丽！里面还有个人工河流，还有会为你唱歌的船夫带你坐船，边唱边笑。而里头也是个购物天堂，我买了个很精致的面具，花了差不多美金一百三十元但是觉得是值得的真的很美！来领的“鬼节”就靠它了！





(3)Time for a little gambling as it what is needed from being in Vegas! So putting US$1 in the slot machine & walking away with US$130.47, I was still geeking out about it! Then going to the poker table, it was US$75 gone within 30 mins-- well, as they say `Easy come, easy go'
There is so much I wished I could have done with my time there cos there are activites galour~ but that would have to wait till next time ~ Area 51 wait for me!!!
好啦！来到了拉斯维加斯，真的还是要赌一赌才行。放了一块钱进赌场的投币机玩了几下竟然赢了一百多块钱美金！！！可是过后到了玩撲克牌时，在半个小时就输了七十五块。就像他们所说的，来得快去得也快！
真的有好多想要在拉斯维加做的可是都没时间，那就只好等下次有机会咯！下次一定要去51区看看有没有外星人！

My Horoscope Capricorn should be a horse for sure :)我的星座应该是个马的上半身才对嘛！

Vegas of Falling Eggs 最后咯！

2010-06-09 Food Glorious Food 美食天地

If you are packing to come to Vegas, you have to remember to forget to pack something-your diet. Buffet galour- maximising 1 of the 7 deadly sins- Gluttony! Breakfast buffet at US$6.99, lunch at US$8.99 and dinner at US$12.99, beat that! And what an array it is - tons of food from Chinese to Italian and OMG when it comes to the dessert section - cakes cakes & more cakes!
But a side note, if you are planning to get food ala carte, the prices are significantly higher - a small half baked chicken dish plus a drink can set you back around US$20 and above. And at the bar, a drink would cost you around US$14 inclusive of the customary tip or gratutity of 15% unless you are at the table gambling those bucks away as a hopeful breaker of the norm.
So much for all the swimwear bikini clad girls on TV & in your face with ads, the idea that coming here would make you dare go out wearing that when there is food fabulous everywhere! Starving is not an option :) Thank goodness for Herve Leger!

如果你在才筹备来拉斯维加斯，收拾行李时，你一定要忘记待伊要东西-你的减肥行动。自助餐天地让你从分大吃大喝！自助餐的早餐才美金六块九毛九，午餐八块九毛九而晚餐才十二块九毛九 - 反正就一直吃的很久。而选择也太多了 - 从中餐到西餐，样样都有。最让人留口水的，就是甜品的部分 - 各式各样的蛋糕和糕点！
但有一点你必须知道的是，如果你想弹点的话，收费就会比较起来，高很多。一盘半只烧鸡和一杯饮料会付差不多二十块美金。而在酒吧代，一杯有些酒精的饮料才不多是十四块美金，因为在美国吃喝或任何服务类的事你都要给十五耙的小费。除非你在赌场里赌钱中，那饮料就会是不收费的咯，可是到最后还是有很大的机会配尝更多的钱哦。
在这里到处都可以看到穿这三点饰泳装的女生相片和流动行广告，想想有这么多东西吃，来到这里这么可能还能穿成那样还是好看的呢？还是算了吧，把最能包种子的泳衣带来才是最实在的！

2010-06-06 Las Vegas & O 拉斯维加斯和O

So touch down to Las Vegas, the first thing that you see walking out from the airplane belt is an array of slot machines.... going to collect your baggage, there it is another roll of slot machines and coming to your hotel walking in to your hotel.... the now familiar roll of slot machines and the entire casino in your face.... there is no escape!!!! You are without a doubt in the land of chances. Going into the elevator came a group of girls with plastic guitars hanging off their shoulders, I thought it was Wii's guitar hero for a sec but soon realise that they were filled to the brim with drinks and a straw sticking out from one side.... it was hilarious & they were complaining about how heavy it was. Such fun! Okay I am game :)
But first, one of the things I have always wanted to do was to see all the Cirque Du Soleil shows and Vegas is home to `O'~said to be the very best of them all... the last one I saw was Alegria and I had loved it so. Ticket costing around US$280 in hand, I had just scuffed down a BLT sandwich set to go in.....
It was absolutely without a doubt so beautiful, the maker's vision is that of beauty & spectacle. You feel like a child and an adult all at the same time in awe.... I would love to tell you more but I worry about ruining the surprise for you as I had enjoyed the brilliance of its surprises....
The only thing was the fire show which reminded me deeply of my own fire act for Renci a couple years back and how terrified I was at that time....
Vegas Day 1 ~ Celest sharing with ya!





MY `O' Buy 买来的纪念平

飞机降落到拉斯维加斯，拉着受体行李第一个看到的景观是一排机赌场的投币机。去拿行李时，看到的又是一排机赌场的投币机。坐车到了饭店，一进门看到的又是一排机赌场的投币机而它们的身后就是整个赌场。根本都没有办法逃避，你已经到了拉斯维加斯！进电梯时，来了一般女生，身上提着一把塑胶吉他，起初我还以为是Wii游戏机里的吉他控制盘可是仔细看，原来那些吉他是饮料储存器，都装着满满的饮料，有个小吸管。她们提着说很重可是影藏不了她们的小开心。好好玩哦！自己也有些兴奋起来可是一定要先....
去完成我一直想做的事，那就是看完所有的太陽劇團的演出，我已经看过4个了而听说在拉斯维加斯的`O'是最好的一个。手上握着价值美金两百八十的一张票，我竟快的把三明治吃完就跑了进去。
真的是太美妙了，那两个小时，感觉自己是个小孩也是个大人一起在开心的震撼中。很想多说可是也怕会印象你将来会体验到的美，我也是在无知中感到那么多的惊喜的。
惟一的就是那场耍火秀，让我回想起了当年自己在仁慈慈善表演中的耍火演出，当时真的有很多的恐惧感....
Celest在这里和你分享在拉斯维加西的第一

2009-09-02 Starting Over & Over Again 开始了又再开始

Today was a difficult day...... I met someone in the industry, someone who made me feel useless and small.
It happens and it has happened a lot in this crusade of a life I've had in this business I am in. I guess after getting use to it, you can handle the situation at the precise moment better but the after-effects never seem to get better.
I start to question my journey, my purpose and myself.
Who to and how many times do I have to prove myself? Why do I do this? How far have I come? Where am I going? What is the reason for all of this? Who Why How Where What? The standard questions basically.
From the first day I stepped out into society to work, it has always been the case. From modelling, going to every different country with just my portfolio, no credit card, a bit of cash and a return ticket.
From singing, living in New York, London, LA, Taiwan, Beijing/China, Singapore, Malaysia everyone knows nothing about me and it's starting all over again.
From acting, in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan & Singapore, who is this nobody coming to be the leading lady????
I do enjoy the new challenge a lot of the time but there are moments where you just feel like you hit a wall and it is in those moments that I feel small and feeble.
It was a difficult day today, here for me in Canada, but it is just one of those days.
Then I come home and got this message from a friend in Taiwan: `write more, a world will be a better place with ur voice n songs'

今天是失落的一天....我遇见了一位在这娱乐圈里的人，一个让我觉得自己没用和渺小的人。
其实这也不以为然，是常常会发生的事，在这像游乐场的生活中。我想习惯了就比较能够在那一声间处理的比较妥当，可是回味的感受还是一样的不好过。
就会开始疑问自己。到底还要相谁证明什么？为什么要走这样的路？走过的路到底有多长？要走的路到底还有多远？意义到底是什么？就一些自我寻找的基本问题。
从第一天踏入社会就是这样。
从当模特儿，去不同的国家，手中拿着自己的相片簿，口袋里没有信用开，就那一些钱和一张回返机票。
从唱歌当歌手，到纽约，伦敦，洛杉矶，台湾，北京和全中国，新加坡和马来西亚，每人知道我是谁，每一次都是全新的开始。
从演戏，在内地，香港，台湾和新加坡都会感受到`她是什么东西啊？来当我们的女一号？？？？`
我真的很享受新的挑战可是总是有一些日子会觉得自己刚撞墙而在那些时候就会觉得自己很渺小无能。
今天是失落的一天，现在在加拿大的我，可是也只是难免的这么一天。
回来后看到台湾朋友写给我的小字条：`写多一些，这世界若有你的声音和歌曲会是比较美好的`
