hi
how's everyone?
I'm having a break now....isn't that great? You know I\'m thinking of doing
one of those french manicure thingy......when I tell people I never had a
manicure done, they always look at me in disbelief. I certainly have
something against those acrylic plastic looking things that they stick on
top of your natural nail, making that part of the finger seem thick and odd,
and it has this odd curvature, the hand transforms, almost claw-like. It's
incredibly ugly. So I don't think I\'ill go for that.....
I tried as hard as I could to go through all the messages I've
missed.....but it's ALOT. So I'm sorry if I missed out anything.
You know, warner has been a great company. We had a lot of fun together and
they respect me as a person, not a product. They have always listened, and
it has been a very enriching 3 years. Of course I'll love to work with them,
all my people are there. But as you know, contractual stuff is always
complicated. We need to have a common goal and objective. We need to decide
and agree upon our obligations and prohibitions. Seeing eye to eye on the
same platform, is not an easy task. But we are both willing to try. It's
certainly our first steps to our next journey. So, thank you all for your
concerns.
ok I'm going to check out the nail place....see you soon ok?

嗨
大家最近過得怎麼樣啊？
我正在新加坡家裡休假哩……能休假真的很棒，不是嗎？你知道嗎，我正在考慮去裝裝假指甲……
每次我跟別人說我沒有裝過假指甲，他們總是用很懷疑的眼光看著我。我是蠻反對在指甲上黏那些塑膠的假指甲啦，
把手指弄得粗粗的、好醜∼∼，而且假指甲彎曲的曲線都好奇怪，裝了假指甲連手的形狀都變了，看起來像是爪子一樣，
真的是太醜了啦∼∼∼所以，我沒有想過要裝假指甲……
我剛剛很努力地想把我先前沒看過的留言看完……可是大家的留言真的太多太多了！所以如果有漏掉的，還是請大家原諒我。
大家都知道，華納真的是一個很棒的公司。我跟華納的同事們一起度過了很多歡樂的時光，而且他們都很尊重我，
而不是把我當成公司的商品。他們總是會聽聽我的意見，讓我過去這三年過得很精彩。
當然，我會很希望繼續和他們一起合作，我的工作伙伴都在華納。可是你們也知道，合約這種東東總是很複雜的，
我們得要有相同的目標才行。我和華納得決定且同意彼此的義務還有限制，面對面開誠布公地好好談，這不是一件很容易的事情；
不過，我和華納都很願意去努力，這會是我們開始下一階段的第一步。所以，謝謝大家的關心囉。
好囉，我要去看看哪家指甲店比較好了……很快會和大家再見面的。

I'm so happy to be home this Chinese New year! I remember last year, I was in Shenzhen. After my performance,
I immediately went for a swim in the hotel I was staying. The life guard obviously did not know who I was.
" Hi, Why aren't you home for the new year?"
"I have to work."
"oh.....ok. Then why aren't you watching the New Year's program? It is a very important event here."
"....."
I figured if I told him I just finished performing, it would lead to a barage of questions. So I just feigned disinterest.
As much as I hate to work during Christmas, New Year, Birthdays.....it was a very unforgettable experience in China.
You could tell the importance of the event when the number of dancers is bigger than the number of audience,
when the stage is bigger than the seating capacity, when there are all sorts of people from around the world to participate,
when the recorded program is aired every single day for 1 week.
Still,I would rather be home.....sleeping till noon, waking up for lunch and newspaper, then sleeping till tea time,
waking up for dinner and gathering of friends or relatives. I love the chinese new year celebration. The new bed sheets, pyjamas,
bottles of pineapple tarts, chocolate, red packets, crates of oranges, 'gong xi fa cai', little children, little children gambling
for that extra $2 pocket money and disheartened faces when their cards are lousy, etc etc. It's so festive.
I love holidays. I LOVE HAVING TIME OFF. I LOVE NOT DOING ANYTHING. Don't get me wrong, I love my job.
But right now, I'm happy where I am.
Have a very happy new year, and may all of you have a smashing year!

我非常高興這次的農歷新年可以回新加坡的家渡過！
還記得去年農曆新年時，我人在深圳。在結束我的演出後，我就直接回下塌的飯店內游泳。
游泳池的救生員顯然並不知道我是誰。
"嗨，為什麼妳沒有在家裡過新年呢？"
"因為我得工作"
"喔.....ok。那為什麼你現在不看電視上的新年節目？對這裡來講那是一件很重要的事。"
".....(無言以對^^")"
我猜想如果我告訴他我剛剛才結束掉電視的新年節目表演，那可能會導致他一大籮筐的疑問。
因此我只好假裝對此事漠不關心。所以說，我討厭在聖誕節、新年，或是我的生日時工作。
不過，能在中國大陸演出對我來講仍是個難忘的經歷。
當表演的舞者人數多過現場觀眾，當表演舞台比觀眾席還大，當來自世界各地不同國家的人們都參與這件事，
當這個錄影節目之後會每天重播持續一個星期，你就會了解這個活動的重要性。
但我想我還是比較喜歡待在家裡.....能一直睡到中午，起床是為了享受午餐及看報紙，接著又可以睡個午覺，
然後再起床吃晚飯和朋友或親戚們來個聚會。
我非常喜歡農歷新年的慶典。
有新的床單、新的睡衣褲、一堆的鳳梨餡餅、巧克力、紅包、一箱箱的橘子、"恭喜發財"、小孩子跟他們為了額外的
兩塊零用錢的賭搏遊戲，還有他們因為拿到不好的牌而沮喪，諸如此類。這些是如此歡樂的喜慶。
我愛放假時的悠閒。我喜歡有休息時間。我更喜歡可以什麼事都不用做。別誤會，我還是愛我的工作。
不過現在，我為我所在的地方而高興(為能在新加坡過年而高興)。
祝大家新年快樂，也希望每個人都能有非常好的新的一年！

愛你們的
