Fall 2009

December 28th, 2009

忙忙碌碌了几个月,在09年末,简单回顾一下吧,也不知自己是怎么挺过来的。


September


Moved.

The first time to have my own place.

Empty.

Slept on the floor in a sleeping bag.

Made plans,

To establish a place called “home”.

Although very stressed out about this “home building” project, the beauty of my new neighborhood in the beginning of fall dragged me out of my chaos, and let me smell the flower for a moment.


Simpson Street - lies in the "Golden Square Mile" of downtown Montreal, 4 blocks away from the most prosperous commercial shopping street, yet very quiet and peaceful.   Simpson 街,是蒙城市中心被誉为“黄金地带“的其中一条街。位于半山腰,与市中心最繁华的商业购物街只有四条街之隔,但却非常安静。

It's so lovely to have a tree like this in the garden.

很喜欢这串耷拉在红墙外的叶子。

October

Shopping = Physical exercises – numerous trips to reno depot, home depot, Canadian Tire, IKEA…
boxes of different pieces of furniture, renovation materials, tools…
I’m living in a warehouse.

Second month of fall, more colors have fallen from the sky.
Colors, how can I ignore this beautiful creature Mother nature creates!

 The park behind my home-to-be "warehouse"  我家的"后花园"

I just found out that I actually live 2 blocks away from the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts! 不知这是否是老天对我这个不务正业的"artist"的嘲笑?

November

From dumpster to home

Dust! Lots of dust!!!
Garbage, tons of garbage
Cleaning…Days and nights of cleaning…
Assembling… Decorating… and more Cleaning…

In a foreign country without families, it’s so not easy to establish a place called “HOME”!!!

    Thank you Cindy! You’re very right. Life progresses step by step. I’m working hard now and hopefully I can achieve another “big thing” this year.
