Yves Saint Laurent & Pierre Berge

In the funeral of fashion master, Yves Saint Laurent, his life partner Pierre Berge gave his love a moving farewell speech.

"It’s the last time I speak to you, Yves.

"I remember the first time we met and those days that followed. The day we decided to be together.

"I remember telling you in your bed at Val de Grace hospital that you were no longer the head of the couture house where you worked, and I remember your reaction. ...

"I remember your first collection under your name and the tears at the end. Then the years passed. Oh, how they passed quickly. The divorce was inevitable but the love never stopped."

What stuck Berge the most, he said, was Saint Laurent’s “rigor and exigence.”

"We find the style you created everywhere today.

"Chanel and you were the great couturiers of the 20th century. She of the first half, you the second.

“You constructed an oeuvre,” he said and compared its beauty and mastery to “a garden of Le Notre or a beautiful Matisse.”

"I don’t know how to say good-bye because I can never leave you. We will never watch a sunset together again. We will never share the emotions together before a painting again. Someday I will join you under the palm trees of Morocco.

I want to tell you my admiration, my profound respect and my love."

(According to Los Angels Times)

Bravo, Master!

The one who should not go to supermaket alone! PART II

This is following story......

This afternoon I cooked a chicken soup, then I found "I don't have a soupspoon!!!" What a surprise!? How can I have a delicious chicken soup then I don't have any material to eat it? A small spoon is absolutely not a proper tool for a princess. All these lead to one and the only one solution: GO TO BUY ONE.

Of course story won't end with just buying A soupspoon. When a girl likes me goes into the department store then she will completely loose her mind.

My sight was caught by a pan. (wait, shouldn't I just buy a spoupspoon then run away from this sin place?) But I just can not help myself, I told myself that I REALLY need another pan, so I chose one. And then I chose two kinds of spoupspoon. (why two? because sometimes you will need different kinds of tools, right?) After that I found I have to buy some things like knife, store box, and more glasses. So I went to pick up a basket to put all my stuff.

That's really not a wise decision, because now I wanted to fill up my basket.

So I bought another wood box to put into my shower room. (what? not in the kitchen? er...... well you know......) Since I need to deal with food, a chopping board is necessary, right? (OK, put it into my basket) Should I buy a set of knifes? But these set looked not so nice for me, well I can bought it when this Saturday I go to Siam Paragon. (one hand with Zara new season and one hand with knife? I don't care.......) OK, finished, was it? Then I was caught by the glasses beside chopping board, um...... just buy what I need and these are ALL I NEED! Two vodka shot glasses, two whisky glasses and two red wine glasses. (well these are for my baby and I, when he comes then we don't need to use cup to drink wine. That is so so so not princess, right?)

After paying for the bill, I finally made a right decision. RUN AWAY FROM THIS SIN! (and lucky me, I didn't fall this time :p)

The one who should not go to supermaket alone!

Many years ago I already deeply understand that I'm a shopaholics in supermarket. Every time when my roommates and I went to the supermarket, at first we all think: ok~ just buy the toilet papers, but all ended with three full shopping cars......

I brought a TaTung electric rice cooker to Bangkok this time. Three weeks past, every time I go into supermarket, I just think, I will buy something to cook next time, but no actions after that.

Today after gym, I told to myself it's time for real diet to fit into the dress for Lucia's wedding. So I went to the Top's supermarket. Then the miserable happened again. After shopping I have to take taxi back home, because it's to heavy and too many to carry them home. (btw, my home is just 15 mins walk to the supermarket = =)

So here are the things I bought:
Soy Sauce (Wanh Ja Shan from Taiwan)
Fish Sauce (er... an expensive one = =)
A small bottle of vinegar
Extra Light Oliver Oil (Italy of course)
Japanese Rice (I know I live in Thailand now, and Thai rice is much cheaper than Japanese rice but I don't like long rice so much. so......)
Organic Wholegrain Jasmine Rice (er...... this is for health.....organic......er......)
Dried mushrooms, ginger, garlics, vegetables, salads, water, tea, zero coke, soy been milk,
and a whole chicken XD

anything else? oh...... I want to have a nice knife set now (hahaha~)

OS: this is such an expensive shopping list XD

At least I still have you

I'm afraid there's not enough time, I want to hold you
Until your wrinkles have traces of the years
Until I'm sure you're real, until I lose my strength
For you, I do

Even can't move at all, the only thing I want is to look at you
Until your hairs have traces of the snow
Until my vision becomes blurred, until I can't breathe
Let us be the light and shadow following each other

If I could give up the whole world
At least I still have you, deserving me to cherish you
And having you here is a miracle of life
Perhaps I could forget the whole world
I'm just not willing to lose your news
The mole in your palm, I always remember where it is

I'm afraid there's not enough time, I want to hold you
Until your hairs have traces of the snow
Until my vision becomes blurred, until I can't breathe
Let us be the light and shadow following each other

If I could give up the whole world
At least I still have you, deserving me to cherish you
And having you here is a miracle of life
Perhaps I could forget the whole world
I'm just not willing to lose your news
The mole in your palm, I always remember where it is

It's not easy for us, we can not help and have no choices
I'm afraid that time is too fast to see you carefully
I'm afraid that time is too slow to lose you every day and night
Wishing that we'll grow old in one night, and never be apart

If I could give up the whole world
At least I still have you, deserving me to cherish you
And having you here is a miracle of life
Perhaps I could forget the whole world
I'm just not willing to lose your news
The mole in your palm, I always remember where it is

There
Just there
