Only five days left before I and Kwong kicking off our Tibet tour.....

It is so fascinating, so enticing and full of anticipation.

It will be the first real break since I joined SCMP in October,

time goes swiftly,

I have joined this paper for nine months.

In this nine months,

there have been huge changes,

seven co-worker have left,

two of them are my boss,

some colleagues are leaving,

including some I don't want them to go.

I have never been in a company have as much reshuffle in manpower as this one.....

It's scary...

But that's life,

everything would happen.

people come, people go,

you have to part the one you like or love,

in the contrary,

have to face someone you hate,

sigh....

So I really need to take a break,

meet some pleasant faces,

take some advantures.

A long-waited journey is about to unveiled..

 

 

 

 

 

How often you guys do an inventory on your CDs collections? I do it once in a year (or two hehe!) Just dug out an album from the piles.  "Long gone before daylight",The Cardigans released 3 years ago. To my surprise,it is still chic and cool. I realise how much could a good album resemble a fine bottle of red wine, the longer it takes, the more palatal it becomes.

 

The lyrics are original as well as powerful regardless the passing of time.Every song has a story inside and sometimes a poem inside, which makes every song has a soul. Unfortunately, there is less and less album contains such essence. It seems like the album producers care less about the lyrics than marketing, packaging......

 

"I went too far, yes I came too close

I drove away the one that I loved the most

now I ride the tide on a boat made of sand

I'm sailing for another to guide me to land

 

and lead me into the night

please drive away the light

'cause I've been blinded by glitter and gold

my eyes need to rest from this light

and sleep well at night... "

 

<Lead me into the night>

 

 

Isn't it cool?

Guys and gals,

have you been to Tibet?

I am about to go on 1/8 until 14/8,

other than Lhasa and base camp,

where else worth visiting?

Recommendations appreciated.

 

Cheers
