June 29 I need a break from the break! 虽说放假,但也丝毫没闲着。自从学校放假以后,每天的日程都排得紧紧的,上学的时候没时间做的事没机会见的人就趁着现在十全大补了一下。
1,首先是华联会一年一度的表彰大会和下一届理事会的交接仪式,这也是我这一年主持的最后一次华联会的活动了。因为现在几乎一大半时间要在LA,所以下一年的主席就不做了。江山代有才人出,各领风骚数来年。哈哈,其实也没什么才不才的,就是看谁愿意奉献一部分时间为社区服务了。
先由我表彰一年来为华联会出智出力的理事们,正好被拍到这张大吉上台领奖的照片,人家为组织出了不少力,奖品是电影票若干张。
华联会也给了我一个惊喜:他们特意为我定做了一个牌,说是将来等我成名之后可以放在办公室作为纪念。这番心意让我感动啊!
2,前两天去了Gena的Baby Shower,好久没见的Gena现在要添千金了,而且CPA也考了下来,可谓家庭事业双丰收。第一次见到Gena,是六七年前在北京的一次聚会上,第二次见面也许是五年前初来美国的时候,这次再见她,依旧是那个热情爽快的北京姑娘,气色比以前更好了。我真心地为她的美好生活和即将到来的小宝宝而祝福!
Baby Shower在好莱坞大道上的Henry Fonda剧院楼顶举行,顺便走了一下星光大道。
这件kimono styled top 是我最近的设计,融合了八零年代很流行的蝙蝠袖和当下流行的动物花纹,配上踏脚裤,还真有点复古的味道。离开前和众美女们合影,站在两边的那两个女孩子都超高,看我们身高的对比就知道了。
3,昨天去了Newport Beach 和Laguna Beach,天气很好,阿琳的老公原来在那里住过,熟悉地形,就充当导游,带我们吃喝玩乐一条龙服务。
4,今天陪大吉去了Soka University, SGI 创办的坐落于橙县的一座年轻的私立学校。
大吉已经练成水上漂的功夫啦,我还差一截。
June 26 Huntington Library Finally for the first time, I visited the famous Huntington Library. What impressed me most was the Chinese garden, which was built 2 years ago. They almost literally moved the Master-of-Nets Garden (Wang Shi Yuan) from Suzhou, my hometown, and relocated it to Huntington Library, named Liu Fang Yuan. In building this garden, they flew 60 garden construction workers from China over and also shipped all the stones from Taihu Lake in the suberb of Suzhou.
The whole garden of Huntington Library is quite large. We spent half a day there and saw about 50% of it. It actually gives me a reason to come back and finish the other 50% some day.

June 14 Guess CollectionJune 01 JumpsuitMay 07 My Motif Dress - Oversized Bow Another Juliet Sun's masterpiece: An evergreen satin motif dress with the focal point of an oversized bow. I started from concept sketching, draping to pattern making, fabric shopping, cut and sew, ironing and even modeling. The result is quite satisfactory. Almost everybody that sees it loves it. I'm happy! My instructor said, "what a nice design! But, believe it or not, before you know it, it will appear in someone else's collection." I said with a smile, "well, what can I do about it?" It's better to be a pioneer than a follower I guess.
May 03 继续PS 继续着我忙碌的生活。
很奇怪,空闲的时候觉得没什么可说的,忙碌的时候却不知道该说什么了。在我精力允许的范围内遵从“两个凡是”的原则:凡是我在乎的事情,都要做得尽善尽美,凡是我在乎的人,都不能忽略。最近在阿凯迪亚市找了一个住处,这样方便commute,不用每天4点半起床或在rush hour堵两个小时。在facebook上share了以后,很多人以为我出了什么事,以至于要一个人搬家。其实就是单纯的省时间,大吉也许是世界上最supportive的老公,看我每天开车辛苦,就在LA附近帮我找了个房子。这样如果一连几天要去LA,就不用每天开那么久了。
好吧,continue to photoshop: Left below is original sketch by hand; Right below is processed with Photoshop.
