One night in Beijing, 我留下许多情

A colleague is up to replace Dir 2008. I dont know her well. She is not replacing me. I was afraid she would be 'colored' by Dir 2008 and that it would a deep grey.

I was hoping to have an opportunity to share with her the blue, the green, the pink...ie the colorful Beijing I have come to love.
I am glad I did share with her last night.

I looked at her in the eyes and said, "Be prepared. You are going to have a wonderful, memorable three years in Beijing". I told her I was very envious of her. She made me think of 2005, July when I first arrived. When I first started on my wonderful three year journey.

For my case, 火车已经到车站 . Almost.

Had my fair share of heartaches and headaches here but it has been an amazing and blessed time for me overall.

拿得起就得放的下。

这一回我可真的是踏踏实实的潇洒走一回。不枉其行。

Was at Tanya's Chua's mini concert last nite...partly for work, partly for inspiration on life after Beijing. She did not disappoint. 我会去过我想过的生活



The infamous CCTV Towers finally met..merged...but would it be in time for the Olympics...nonetheless the 'show' must go on.
