So long I have been staying in a state with pleasant weather; I have almost totally forgotten the foliage season. Nature plays magic saturating leaves in flame, amber and gold, while these are rarely noticeable in my daily routine. I had planned a short getaway to find this lost wonder, but it was submerged by misc reasons, like being retarded. 

Finally, I had a wonderful trip up to Lake Tahoe over the weekend. The ski season is not started, but a few people. The foliage is not so impressive as the ones in Northeast, yet they are pure and gleaming in breeze. I just loved it. A very tranquil and refreshing experience.

To Xian:

It's wonderful that you have made up your mind following the way you want to do. It's also a good remind for me: If there is something you don't like, either you do something to get over, or make ways to eschew, at least to learn to bear. Worst is keep complaining and do nothing. A good tip at the right moment.

Best for your new startup, in Shanghai!

"Our minds are chain reactions of chemical particles...consciousness is merely energy circuit in motion, which is perceived subjectively. It is only a dream and there are imaginations of it, constantly changing."

I believe the intrinsic piece of my mind is far more trusted than the extrinsic counterpart. That's why I believe in "Defying Gravity". All that matter is what I keep holding on. Although the "Wicked Witch on the West" is infamous, there is good essence inside her ego. 

I'd like to see lots of things, but different. I'd like to make up my mind, by myself.
