My treasures...

This week was so full of mail ^0^ And very busy too, but I enjoyed myself most of the time ^.^

 

not so much outdoing mail, because the last two letters I wrote were really long... ^^   The last envelope's decoration was an article about a dance performance I MISSED lately =.= I'm not fond of classical ballet at all, but sometimes I like some modern stuff... it's amazing what a body can be like, what it can express...

On that day I almost went crazy because of all this awesomeness!! fat mail from two beautiful people ~ and one hopefully beautiful person who requested my address on letternet and who actually did write me a letter... amazing!

 this week was also Hong Kong week ~ a short letter from my friend and a postcrossing postcard, isn't it terrific?? I believe it's self-made ^.^

 my friend added this amazing Christmas card (though I'm not too fond of thinking of Christmas already), Asian people never stop to surprise me with their decoration ideas!!

 so much love inside one envelope ^0^ the leaf is a real one ^0^ I didn't even notice at first ^.^

 

more awesomeness ^0^ and Romanian pufuleti (fluffy corn snack) below (they're half-gone on the pic and they were gone completely a minute later ^^)

 

 I loved the post by GotThatSwing on her blog, about good things on a crappy day... I've been making a list of great things too, so that I can be truly happy when a day is over ^.^ even if I feel tired and don't write as much as I'd like to... But, apart from my full mailbox and some great snacks and dishes, I've discovered that there are people who still make good music years after years ^0^

I was enchanted by Sandy Lam this week! Like, she swept me away, totally... I mean, I did like her before, she has a voice that I can always enjoy, even if she sings the letters of the alphabet ~ but Sandy Lam was probably the last of the Hong Kong singers I like (it IS Hong Kong week ^0^) that I'd have expected to be so WOW! Nice ~ yes, cute ~ yes, lovely ~ yes, but not WOOOOOOOOOW!! o.O I've discovered the new album 'Gaia' while browsing a Chinese music site and I just can't stop listening to it...I was prepared to discover one or another catchy pop song (well, it's been what I call quality pop after all) among countless sugar-coated-honey-dripping ballads about how her darling went away and how she misses him so... but OMG, she certainly didn't waste her time during those two years she took for producing it! Her vocals are mindblowing, the lyrics are truly moving me, especially the beauty of thoughtfully arranged words that add a special flavour to the music and it's music that I actually find interesting... I mean, come on, I was really pretty tired of looking forward to the album of a Chinese singer I liked and of being disappointed and bored to tears! Stanley Huang, Jay Zhou, Evonne Hsu, Angela Zhang (now once again) =.= I literaly HAD to turn to Jolin Tsai and S.H.E. who at least maintain their usual level... Then, cute little Sandy decides to explore her inner self and the never-ending possibilities of music and just takes my breath away! Girl, you rock ~ and I love you creepy and sexy ^0^

It was so hard to decide which video to choose, because those are awesome too, but I decided to share this one... The whole damn thing gives me goosebumps T0T

OK, did I just say 'I love you' to someone else than Maura? Oh, darling, of course, I didn't mean it! ^.^ You are a goddess even without singing ^0^
