Nice to be home... or?

2009-07-08T23:37:00.003+08:00

finally i am home again. this wonderful place called HongKong.

weather is too hot for me, too many people and too much dust. but that is my home and i love it.

however, am i at the right position to be here now? did i make the right decision to come back? what should i do in the future? i still do not know. nothing is certain, that is all i know.

i should just open up my ears look around, and find my own comfortable way.

be alive

Manu Salad

2009-03-15T05:52:00.004+08:00

This is a salad that i learnt from my friend, Manuel Ferrigato, who is an Italian. I do not know how authentic Italian it is, so i named it after him - Manu-Salad.

It is my favorite salad since it is super easy to make! Just select a kind of salad vegetable. you can use Lettuce, this time i used Lamb's Lettuce.

Ingredients:

Salad Vegetable
Carrot
Parmesan Cheese
Cherry Tomato
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Balsamico Vinegar
Black Pepper
Lemon

just wash the vegetable, make sure they are drained out of water. break them down into small pieces. Shred some carrots, cut some cherry tomatoes into half. (I did not have tomato today) put them all together in a salad bowl, add Olive oil, a bit of Balsamico vinegar, and at last, shred some FRESH Parmesan Cheese on top. you can add more if you like.

Add a few drops of lemon juice, add black pepper or salt if you prefer. Mix them well and serve!

This salad is so tasty, and it really makes you feel so fresh and good. Try it to believe it. it makes you feel good. you can have it before or after meal, or both, as you like!

...i wish i have a better camera to show it nicer and tastier!

I wanna be I wanna be I wanna be just like a melody
just like a simple sound like in harmony

I wanna be I wanna be I wanna be just like the sky
just fly so far away to another place

To be away from all, to be one of everything

I wanna be I wanna be I wanna be just like the wind
just flowing in the air through an open space

I wanna be I wanna be I wanna be just like the sky
just fly so far away to another place

I wanna be I wanna be I wanna be just like the sea
just swaying in the water so to be at ease

To be away from all, to be one, of everything

I wanna be I wanna be I wanna be just like a melody
just like a simple sound like in harmony

And the debt clock says, "Time to kiss your future goodbye"

2008-10-10T05:44:00.002+08:00

The National Debt Clock is shown near Times Square in New York. The clock has run out of digits to record the growing figure. As a temporary fix, the dollar sign has been switched to a figure--the "1" in $10 trillion. The clock is marking the current national debt at about $10.2 trillion.

President Bush said, "That means we'll never owe more than that, right?"

Debussy's Clair de Lune

Debussy's Clair de Lune into a visual approach. This is simple technology, This is art. What was called "Melody Shape" has never been shown more clearly.

I love this song, and i can listen to it non-stop.

The Great Celebration of the Dying

2008-09-11T07:46:00.003+08:00

Let us celebrate the dying of the blog life - together with xanga - damn you, Facebook!

Even with your new interface you are still full of shit and time-wasting features - and you are still a complete dungeon for me to wander about. Why such an un-user friendly interface would become the most popular of all in just 2 years?

I still get lost in Facebook's new interface - althought at least i have a little clue of where i am instead of punching my monitor and throwing around my keyboard and biting my fingers off to figure out what i am looking at.

Thanks to the mass emails Facebook sent to my email account now i deactivated facebook's email notification service. No more email from my Facebook. No more application invitation. My friends, if you want to talk to me, call me. Write me an email. If you want to say something, Call me directly.

What am i bitching about? Facebook brought me into contact ( i would rather say, indirectly related) to my old lost friends. I added them into my friends list (again?) but i never really talk to them. what should i do? invite them to 古惑仔online?

The only good thing is that I can use facebook's album to check out my friend's latest pictures, no matter if they want it or not, they were tagged by other friends with their mouth-opening / eye closing / tummy protruding shots with their name on the pictures.

Blogspot, my friend who never send me email to let me know your existence, I am sorry, I ignored you for long. Yes, now i log in to Facebook 10 times a week instead of 2 times a month.

For all the people including me who had forgotten blogspot, I apologize, you are still better.

Wednesday Photo Workshop

2008-06-12T08:28:00.005+08:00

My lovely colleague, Florian Schueppel, is a good kick-ass photographer. we are kicking each other's asses, now each week on wednesday we have to shoot some projects. with our boss's equipments. (for free of course) and we have the boss's son, Cecil, to be the perfect model. (free as well)

it will be all good. Imagine in 1 year we will have around 50 projects. and they will be our portfolios. the model will be our friends, and they get great pics. our boss will have 2 better skilled assistants, more enthusiastic into photography. most of all, everyone have lots of fun with the pictures. In the end, EVERYONE WINS.

cant wait for the pictures...

This is too good. i have to post it in here as well. i have never seen anything like this in recent years. i have watched it many times.

editing, shot arrangement, dialog, camera, directing, mise-en-scene, art direction, costume, story line, everything perfect.

acting.... so good, so good, sooooo exaggerated, still look natural, japanese style.
everyone are wonderful.

imagine how much work has to be done when you have just 1 camera. then you know how good it is.

thanks Gung for the info!

Basketball until 22:30

2008-06-11T06:47:00.004+08:00

one good thing about living in higher altitude is that you enjoy lots of sunshine during the summer. sun comes out at 5, and goes down at 10:30. complete darkness at 11:00. this picture was taken at 10:30pm, and i was just finished my final 3 point shoot.

i forced myself to play basketball, and i force myself cannot leave without a certain number of scores, plus a perfect 3 pointer jump shot at the end. time to move my ass.

Such a beautiful day

2008-05-03T08:05:00.002+08:00

Today i went out the garden and the field became like this! WUNDERBAR!

European Football Experience 2

2008-04-27T05:57:00.007+08:00

2nd time watching Schalke04. this time in Hamburg. again, i got a free ticket. (of course it is expensive but i got the seat for free) Schalke04 vs Hamburg HSV!

people here look much nicer than last time. people here are more rich and well dressed.

look. people just pee like that on the way to the stadium.

European football fans sometimes can be dangerous. all police dressed like this. and there were alot.

Schalke fans here are minor group, however they are strong and might be hooligans (the violant fans) on the right hand side, there were a whole line of police walking with them!!!

Intense!!!

where to go?

2008-04-18T06:01:00.002+08:00

I was totally stressed about my future. i was so worried, that i cannot enjoy my life.

"Your future is not for you to think..... let TODAY leads you to a better place you have never thought about. ....Otherwise, your future will ruin your day!"

"i just drift along, just drift along this river of time, wherever it takes me to, i go."

First European Football Experience

2008-02-08T07:21:00.001+08:00

I went with the host family to the Veltin Arena in Gensenkirchen in Germany. Watch Schalke04 versus Basel. the stadium is magnificent! the game was boring.

i have seen so many ugly german peoples here. to be honest and polite, they are ugly. you won't believe me until you are here.

in the end of this game, there was a player from the Schalke04 had to leave the club, so all of us had a farewell... we played firework inside the stadium, and everyone singing songs! so amazing!

Grandma's Dumplings

2008-02-08T00:18:00.000+08:00

Grandma is not making dumpling this year. I am her only fan I think? since I am not with her now. No one eat them anymore. I miss my grandma.

Global Warming

2008-02-08T00:16:00.000+08:00

I eat so much german food mainly potatoes and breads made from potatoes. and cheese / cream. that makes me want to fart alot. Fart is consists of alot of chemicals like :

Nitrogen - 20% - 90%
Hydrogen - 0% - 50%
Carbon Dioxide - 10% - 30%
Oxygen - 0% - 10%
Methane - 0% - 10%

Some of these gases are green house gas. ask your chemical teacher which is which. I fart a lot, I become part of the suspect of global warming.

Very special German food!

2008-01-21T02:00:00.000+08:00

Special Soup made of Eggs and Parmesan cheese and some other things! wow cool! they have bits inside that we can chew!

Rice-Milk, or Milk Rice! they are cooked together with milk and sugar. when we eat. we put some boiled butter into it, and we can put some peach slides. wow. can't imagine. quite tasty for a no-milk person like me!

Monthly Spending

2008-01-17T03:18:00.000+08:00

This must have been a record. I have stayed at home - worked and lived inside without the need to buy anything and go anywhere. i have not spend anything since 13 days. this is a record of all my life i think since 12 years old.

Honestly, working in a big house and sleep here where u have all the food supply and everything, what do u need to spend? i am not a night life person... and i don't really drinks. If i really earn alot i might have saved alot of money. Too bad that i am only a volunteer right now and taking a minimum salary like pocket money. so this is good. at least i can buy myself a nice antique camera from ebay.

Distance to you, Hong Kong!

2008-01-16T06:55:00.000+08:00

To all of you reading this from Hong Kong, i am now more than 8900 KMs away from you. If i am loud enough, i scream HELLO HONG KONG PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 恭喜發財!!!!!! then it will take 26245 seconds for the sound to travel to you. that means 7 hours and 17 minutes for you to hear that. it's that far.

Don't look in the map. it's longer. i used the google earth to calculate which is shorter on the globe on the straight line. This is calculated on sea level on an imaginery straight line, which is not possible. because there are mountains. between us, there are exactly:

1) Hong Kong 香港
2) China 中國
3) Kazakstan 卡薩克斯坦
4) Russia 俄羅斯
5) Latvia 拉脫維亞
6) Lithuania 立陶苑
7) Baltic Sea 波羅的海
8) Germany 德國

Quite a lot of distance, isn't it? thank you Internet!

About older people

2008-01-16T06:12:00.001+08:00

My Boss, Ivo von Renner, is already 59 years old. and his mother, Eva, is 92 years old already, healthy and happy together at home.

Ivo showed me all his young pictures and i can see his whole life through his self portraits from 20 to now. Ivo still have all these energy and spirit and lives like a 45 years old. he's still crazy.

I thought this morning, people grow old and people leaves. when u leave this world, what will you do? Do you want to leave alone? or do you want someone by your side and walk the last few steps to heaven?

And i think of my grandmother. I didn't love her enough. and i didn't show her enough care. She's still alive, but i am not there next to her right now. I am scared. I want to make sure that when she leaves us, she would think that, "Oh, I had a hard life, but I am happy because I was loved."

I couldn't stop thinking going back to see her sooner.

Monopoly

2008-01-16T05:59:00.000+08:00

For anyone who know Monopoly, u probably know what's happening on my side. i just got all the land. and i still have plenty of cash. i had 5 hotels and 12 houses. and all the stations on 4 streets. i just bought them all. thank you. this is the first time in my life i think Monopoly is a good game.

The essense of Monopoly is not about luck or how much u walk, it's all about bargaining power and when u spend the money. It's really a helpful game for kids. it will train their financial concept, which, you will never learn in school. like Rich Dad Poor Dad says, the school teaches u every academical things but never teach you how to manage your money. Which is the most important and urgent thing u need to know once you are out of the school.

Scary Horse Tricycle

2008-01-14T08:02:00.001+08:00

Beside trying to make food, i take pictures too. i love taking pictures. today we went to my boss's relative's house and had a small family gathering. that house was so old, things inside was almost all antique. I am glad that i took this picture and i like it. this is something probably HK people never known.

A horse which looks scary merged together with a tricycle. I am glad that i took it with RAW mode which i had so much control afterwards. I took it with the latest and greatest Canon 1DS Mark III camera with the gorgeous 24mm F1.4 L lens.

This is a good camera. i highly recommend. if you can afford it.
Na .. na na na... na!

Chinese Dishes with my Boss

2008-01-14T07:34:00.000+08:00

Mozzarella Salad

Fried Egg White 賽螃蟹

Today i decided to do a test with some chiense dishes in a smaller portion. i had to find some dishes which is simple to make, healthy (at least looks like), easy to find ingredient, and looks totally different than german food to stimulate the family's appetite. Since it's only me and my boss Ivo having dinner tonight. so i wanna try the fried egg white.

Appetizer is just mozzerella with tomato and basil leaves, mix with olive oil, basamico vinegar, black pepper and salt.

Fried Egg White (賽螃蟹, damn it! the English name is so not elegant! but what can i say? "competing with crab"??) is just basically fried egg white mixed with corn flour, salt and water and sesame oil. lots of oil! then put one Egg yoke on top of the dish and some Xhinese Shanghainese vinegar. they should be garnished with some broccoli on the side and some dried scallop, but i don't have it in hand. (hey it's just a test, right?)

I don't have change to get a hold of the chinese vinegar so i had to use the italian basamico vinegar. and i had to use olive oil instead of sesame oil. turned out to be like this... hey. not bad! just a bit salty and a bit overcooked. but the direction was right.

....when did this blog started to be a food blog?

Where am i , why am i here?

2008-01-11T06:13:00.000+08:00

i cannot see the future. why am i here? what am i doing everyday? what can i do?

Getting better and better

2008-01-10T07:08:00.001+08:00

Did i mention that i had not enough food at home before? i get hungry at night even short after dinner. Now they are trying to cook more and better food. I am so happy! maybe they are really doing it... or it is just my feeling. Food is getting in larger portion and i can feel really full after, which is what i always feel after each meal.

Lunch with german cabbage 梅菜

2008-01-09T07:46:00.000+08:00

These german cabbage has to put outside the house, under freezing temperature for 1 or 2 days, until it changed it's texture, then cook again . they are soft and break down. it tastes so similar to the chinese dried cabbage (梅菜). i miss chinese food now.

USB Cat

2008-01-08T00:30:00.000+08:00

The cat ate the mouse, so i had to use the USB Cat for my computer.

My Favorite Chicken Leg

2008-01-06T23:30:00.000+08:00

yes, it's this chicken leg made me back to this blog again. i need to have a more regulated life now. no more free time. have to have a time schedule for doing things everyday. it's Germany, i need to have a German disciplined life.

Everyday i feel like i did not eat enough. this after when we suddenly have Chicken wing and rice, i almost feel like i was back to the age 5 when i loved chicken leg rice with sauce. Now i have it again, in a German taste. it was almost touching that i had to run to my room and take a camera and take a picture.

I love you and i miss you so much, chicken leg.

IKEA in Hamburg

2008-01-04T19:33:00.000+08:00

IKEA here so big, that is almost like a super garage. it has it's own building with carpark on the top. things are more or less the same in HK, of course, more choices and more space. Prices are still cheap, which is good.

Eternal Sunshine For A Spotless Mind

2007-11-26T05:27:00.000+08:00

Just watched this movie again tonight. It was such a beautiful, insightful, romantic movie. i have bad memories. When i watched it again it is totally like new to me. So touching.

無期

2007-11-25T00:58:00.000+08:00

身在異鄉, 歸去無期的感覺一點也不好受.原來跟出trip是不一樣的.

公幹時, 心裏面有個底, 總有個時間可以回家, 旅程中就不段想著去在短時間中見識多一點, 玩得盡興一點, 完全沒有想回去的感覺, 總覺得玩得不夠.

但現再我並沒有回家的期限, 也沒有任何計劃, 每天就想著又捱多了一天, 不知何時才完結...遙遙無期, 去玩也沒有心機...

好掛住家中的晚餐...

Hamburg!!!!!!!

2007-11-22T23:27:00.000+08:00

Word of Wisdom

2007-10-01T03:03:00.000+08:00

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. - Mark Twain

Fan Lok Shan

2007-09-22T22:42:00.001+08:00

Yeah, it's you.

the one who gave me some of the most happiest memories
in my most innocent years.
that was the pure, honest fun.

you showed me a new world of exploration and adventure
you taught me something that i can learn from no one.

we used to be so close,
now we're parted.

Make sure you take good care of yourself,
and do your best to live well.

No one can take you away from my heart.

哪個是真我

2007-09-12T01:52:00.000+08:00

不想令人見到的東西，
卻是最多人留意的，
經常出現在人眼中的，
卻是最不起眼，
最缺乏注意的…

一個經常在所謂「隱藏真我」的同時，
亦正在大聲表白自己喜歡「隱藏真我」的隱藏了真我的真我，
也就是最令人矛盾的沒有隱藏了真我的真我‧

哪個是真我？
你眼中的真我是真的我，
還是我心中的真我才是真我，
還是「隱藏了的真我」之中的真我才是真我？

一個永遠不能解答的問題永遠有人去尋根究底，
一個顯然易明的問題卻永沒有人能夠說出答案來…

Windsurf Day!

2007-09-09T22:25:00.000+08:00

wowowowo hohohohho!

after 15 months of not being on top of a surfboard now i'm back! we went to the Stanley Main beach water center, i was pretty new in there and it took me 90 mins to rig up my gear and got into the water..... the place was so cramped up and all these "systematic" way of arranging things actually slow us down... compared to the St. Stephen bay i can finish my job in 20 mins! anyways i will be faster next time.

God! the wind is great keep going on 15 to 20 knots and me and cow keep going on the PLANE! flying here and there! of course there are some better people flying much much faster than us

i was exhausted! and i still feel the swells going up and down here sitting at home...my hands have no strength now...

I feel like a tool

2007-09-09T01:58:00.000+08:00

Hi, my name is B, and i feel like a tool.
a tool that hopefully it's useful, but not obvious
it dosent takes up too much space, but when you need it, it could be very handy
and it's helpful, too.

But this tool is different, this tool is longing for some respect.
However most people do not respect the tool by saying or doing anything to the tool.
They respect it by using it, they respect it by making the most out of it, they respect by choosing it, they respect it by taking all advantages of it.
This is how people respect a tool. if you're not good enough, they don't even think about you.

This tool is longed for someone to understand, too.
However most people do not understand the reason why the tool here and why it behave like this. they just understand what is it's function and what can do with it when you use it.

A tool is not a thinking individual, it is only something controlled by someone to achieve the goal and facilate the job. it is not designed to complete the job automatically.

Hi, my name is B, and i feel like a tool. a very helpful tool.

what's the use of a journal

2007-09-01T01:08:00.000+08:00

is this place supposed to be the place i can write everything i want?
of, it has already became a stage to entertain anyone?

i have a lot of things i would like to write down.
but i want to keep it private.

溫馨提示

2007-08-14T10:32:00.000+08:00

奉勸各位從今以後不要再“ 條女, 條仔“ 相稱
好唔專重人
除非你女友 / 男友喜歡你或其他人這樣稱呼他們
又或這你喺 “隨便搵條女玩吓，隨便搵條女搞吓嘢“ 而對方都是這樣想，就可以這樣稱呼

大家都大個啦
再俾我聽到我會鄙視你的
大可以用“女友，我女人，我另一半“稱呼
溫馨好多

甚麼是青春

2007-08-14T01:05:00.000+08:00

甚麼是青春?
如果要找出我青春年代和現在的分別，應該可以看出一些端倪：隨著逝去的青春我已經失去了甚麼。

1) 對月餅的瘋狂食慾
2) 六舊腹肌及強壯的四頭肌
3) 滑溜溜的, 不像香港人的孩子臉
4) windows cdkey, 幾十個人電話, 生日, 學生証及密碼的記憶力
5) 不用睡覺的能力
6) 發呆的時間

寂寞中對我不離不棄的人

2007-06-22T21:46:00.000+08:00

今天又不知是第幾個週末一個人過。還未習慣這種無助的孤獨感，於是想起了我的好朋友們。誰不知不是沒人接電話，就是佳人有約。還好，原來我的朋友全部都在HAVING FUN。

由於在中環上班，每逢周五晚放工後都有很多衣著光鮮的型男索女出現。熙來攘往，十分精彩。有的是情侶檔，有的是一班FRIEND去玩，有一些明顯走得快一點的單身人士肯定是有約於蘭桂，有的穿著得特別性感的女子，施施然地慢步出地鐵站，認該是今晚出來打獵的。

見到各位都好有目的去玩，自己卻因為無人理，一邊等著剛才沒接電話的朋友CALL我，慢慢地拖著腳步不情願地向回家的方向走。終於走道地鐵車廂裏，電話響了，我不用山伯孤伶伶了！心想「還來得及返出去的。」見到一個陌生的電話號碼，應該是哪個朋友在外面打給我的。「喂？」傳來的是一把開朗友善的聲音。

「先生您好，我地係和記3中港通加打梨架...」

「...哦...我想我唔需要啦唔該...」

沉溺浪漫的攝影師

2007-06-22T02:44:00.000+08:00

今天在公司裏走過去廁所時, 剛巧收音機裏有人在說故事. 我剛聽到幾個字:

"...沉溺浪漫的攝影師..."

前文後語已聽不清楚了. 但是這八個字卻很深刻, 令我在廁所裏頭泛起了一陣陣的思考.

實在是太cool了. 我都想以"沉溺浪漫的攝影師"自居. 但是我個人来說並不浪漫, 我也不認為自己是一個攝影師...

看來要有耍cool的本錢還需努力一番

-------------------------------------

看過阿公今天幾千字的blog post, 又要廢噏幾句

1) 同意, 我都是市井的人, 我為此自豪
2) 對我來說, 阿公你也是能做到很多東西出來的人, 我也深感佩服. 你要繼續努力!
3) 12年後我還是要捉你們出來飲茶歎世界. 我...想好明年可以做甚麼再說吧.
4) 對面的男人笑你呀
5) 漂漂亮亮的OL，一式一樣的名貴手袋令我作嘔. 你地白痴㗎, 唔用Gucci LV Chanel Dior 唔識做人呀, 你地敷淺可憐到極點, 要有性格就不如著suit用百佳膠袋呀, 咁我就respect喇!
6) 做一個不設實際的男人是挺浪漫的.

-------------------------------------

終於可以扮吓你地呢班文化人啦, 小弟今天在看思果先生的<香港之秋>, 書裏面附錄的其中一篇說現代人的中文實在差勁, 他舉出了很多很多仔細分析的例子, 說得我體無完膚, 我們的中文真的太差, 尤期是大眾讀物經常犯語病, 教壞細路, 全部中文的字詞擺位其實是英語格式, 是劣譯, 是劣文, 剛巧我要校正 (proof read) 公司的catalog, 完全發現書中的所及問題, 詞不達意, 簡直改到我想死, 我以後寫中文要多加留意, 多謝思果老師!

Prioritization Disorder

2007-06-20T00:11:00.001+08:00

I am sure this is a term that dosen't exist. and it must also be spelled wrongly.
But i am sure i have this illness. Significantly.

So Called Prioritization Disorder, means i have difficulty in ordering things. When i face a bunch of work, i need to prioritize them, find what is most important and urgent, and make it on top of my to do list of the day, then, put the most unimportant non-urgent tasks on the bottom of my list.

This simple thing already causes me a lot of trouble. i find it very hard to order my tasks. I don't know which is more important. even if i do, i find it extremely difficult to put it on top of my to do list.

I tend to do the least important, least urgent tasks first.
Like... writing this blog. I should be filling up my application form for my German working visa.

Maybe the prioritization disorder is just an excuse for me to let myself continue like this. what i lack is just some self discipline and focus and determination in finishing the tasks. last but not least, i need some passion of life.

To be more exact, I have cognitive disorder. There is such a term and i am sure i have this problem.

failed.... loosing grip on myself

2007-06-14T20:49:00.000+08:00

i failed my driving test today.
i thought i was cool and i really did well before
but when the test begins i lost control on everything
i did series of serious mistakes.
mistakes that no one can be blamed but my inability to stay focused and calm.

i failed my driving test today.
that's not surprising at all. i have expected that.
but i was upset about my performance.
what went wrong? i suddenly felt like i didn't know how to drive.
my mind was all empty. i couldn't remember the course.

i failed on myself today.
i was down, down, down
and i felt incredibly lonely right now.

Dazed, amazed.

雲

2007-06-03T00:03:00.000+08:00

站在漂亮的沙灘水裡
清清的水
細細的沙
藍藍的天
白白的雲

這幾天天氣實在很好
像夢境一樣的
厚厚的有一點油畫的味道
又有一點超現實的感覺
你卻不在這裡看不到

聽著耳機裏的 "飞べない翼"
看著天上的雲
站著不動
出了神
把我完全迷倒了

又想起了你
突然有一種奇怪的
溫馨的感覺
鼻子一酸
兩眼充滿了淚水

雖沒有強烈的想念
卻發覺我腦裡全是你

無奈的我只有每天去反省自己

my name is... 斌
but it is an interesting misunderstanding.

你也是一片白雲

2007-05-24T01:09:00.000+08:00

我們考試成績是尾三尾二
我們就是這樣認識
成了好朋友
已是十五年前的事了
記憶猶新
你一直在我心裡佔有非常重要的位置
人大了，我也變了
我的強烈性格卻把你嚇跑了
我就這樣一手破壞我們之間友誼

我幾乎以為是恆久的友誼

我知道我甚麼都不能做
我知道我錯了
原來

你也是一片白雲

我浮起來了
我終於都浮起來了
心裏越是沉重
身體就越不受地心吸力控制
懸在本空

我慢慢的讓自己往上飄
想靠近一下
這些年來
我總是攪不懂的
一片白雲

我飄得越近
你越變得模糊
我在你裡面
想把你捉緊
我卻完全迷失了

我越靠近你
越看不清楚你
還是靜靜的在遠處
悄悄的欣賞
你這可愛的白雲

Stupid me

2007-05-16T14:29:00.000+08:00

i can't help thinking about you either
i should have managed myself better
i could have stopped the suffer earlier
and you would have no more tear

i'm extending your pain
and putting your hope in vain
only because i love you my dear
i'm doing all these stupid things

The great camping with viv

2007-05-15T12:13:00.001+08:00

I must have been crazy. on tuesday night after work i went camping with Viv! and planned to go back to work the next day. and i am glad i did that.

We went to MuiWo after work and got some food at MuiWo. then we walked.. walked... and walked towards the hill after the Silvermine Bay... at night, in darkness. we climbed the hill in about 1 hour and then we were there! at the top of a ridge. I have been there before, here is the album

We found a good spot and then we tried to set up the tent and i found that i didn't have the pugs (the nails for the ground securing the tent in place) We then went everywhere to found some rocks.. it was not easy! no rocks on that ridge! we finally managed to get around 8 rocks.. it was so stupid

we setup the tent, took some rest, then we started walking around inspecting the place at night. we took some lights to a big rock at that place, and Viv lit up the rock for some photos. it was funny.. no one do that ever i think, and Viv was a true creative guy. the rock looks exactly like a big monument on the hill!

we then ate alot of snacks then fell dead exhausted. at night it was freaking cold and we didn't bring blanket. i almost got sick! we curled ourselves to overcome the night. Next morning before sunrise we woke up and wanted to look at the sunrise. it was cloudy but didn't matter, Viv was so excited. it was his first time camping in a tent and i have been persuading him to go camping with me all these months!

It was cold in the morning and we headed down to Discovery bay at 8. there were alot to see during the walk and it was really a quality walk. my knees still hurts but they were alot better already.

At last we took a ferry from Discovery bay and back to central. i took a shower at Viv's place then i go back to work! crazy! and i felt sleepy all day!

More pictures will be posted ASAP.

My FIRST helicopter ride

2007-05-07T17:17:00.000+08:00

today my photographer friend had an aerial shooting job and he invited me to go with him! I was too excited since this is my childhood dream coming true. i even turned on the Flight Simulator to practise how to control a helicopter... and to get a better knowledge what is going on with the pilot!

Marcel the photographer got a aerial shoot for the 8th highway connecting HK to China. He knew that i wanted to ride a helicopter so bad and he asked me to go with him, pretend as his assistant. Wow what a great idea!

We meet at the Peninsula Hotel (the best hotel in HK!) I was stunned by the lobby immediately. it was my first time going in! Then we went to the top floor of the Peninsula Hotel, and there is an aviation lounge! wow it was so cool... the lounge was so fancy and comfortable, and well furnished. We waited there and we had to look at a DVD briefing about the safety stuff, then we had to write down our weights.

We met the Pilot and his name is Ray, i guess he's either an Aussie or British. couldn't hear him really well. he is so tall. Then we walked to the roof... there are 2 helicopter field at the top of the hotel, and we flew from there! first time to get onto the helicopter i feel so excited, not nervous at all!

The helicopter was quite small from the interior and it's not much spacier than a Van, 4 persons can sit in the back. We have buckled up before take off. The typical high pitch starting sound of the rotatary engine makes me happy. I was too excited i even forgot when the helicopter really started the engine. i can read most of the gauges and i know how to use the radio! thank you Billy!

Everyone had to wear that typical headsets, with the mic over your mouth. i feel so pro!
it took off... it was so smooth i couldn't feel anything except the scenery became smaller and smaller.. and i am in the air above Tsim Sha Tsui!

Then i immediately tried to lean myself out of the door (there's no door actually, the door was removed) to look down. it was so much fun. i didn't have any fear of height at all. and everything was new. Marcel was sitting by the opened door he only have 2 belt to tie him to the moving helicopter. he was the one sitting almost outside.

We flew across TST, Laiking, tsuen wan, then over Castle Peak, yuen long, and finally we got to mai po where our work begins.

there's a bridge called Expressway No.8 and we flew over that bridge a few times. sometimes we hover, some time we flew fast to find a sight. During the time i took some pictures with my GR1 and sometimes i took picture from Marcel's Hasselblad XPAN2. wow. a great camera.

Of course flying is a lot of fun and fun usually pasts faster. we finally had to go back, we flew over the Container Port and TST again, when i see central at the higher angle it is just amazing. TST is beautiful!

The landing was smooth too, i didn't feel a bit of bump. The pilot sure did a great job!

you can view the album here

Flight Lesson from Billy

2007-05-06T01:57:00.000+08:00

Today I met Billy and he drove me to his new home. Nice place! We played a lot of stuff and he also showed me some magic tricks. amazing! Best of all we talked about flying and things like becoming a pilot. He is already a private pilot so he taught and shared a lot of flying stuff to me.

He taught me how to read maps, how to navigate with map and compass and avionics, and he also explained how to use the panel on the real airplane! We used the flight simulator to learn about all these.. Now i know how to use most of them! of course, Navigation on the plane is not easy at all! I learned to fly a plane also!(in the computer only) it was awesome! i was totally amazed... we had a great night!

We also had an indian curry dinner and a nice long talk!

對不起我愛你

2007-05-05T01:25:00.000+08:00

多麼想用說話留住妳
心中想說　一生之中都只愛妳
為何換了對不起

今天分手像我完全負妳
這傷痛盼望輕微　望妳漸忘記

我　每日也想著妳
靠在這街中等妳
遙遠張望　隨妳悲喜
視線人浪中找妳

行近我又怕驚動妳　我又怕心難死
立定決心以後分離　一生裡頭
誰是我的心中最美　往日的妳

Physiotherapy

2007-05-05T01:17:00.000+08:00

Finally i had to switch from the chinese doctor and go back to the "good old western way".
I have seen an Orthopaedic Surgent. (some doctors, "famous for bones") Finally someone is patient to listen to the patient.

Luckily, my case is pretty bad, but not serious to the point that it's gonna be forever. I just need to do some physiotherapy for a few times. Again, i hope, my insurance is going to cover it. those are not really expensive, anyway.

I always thought that physhotherapy is that in a room (like a ballet practicing room) there are some soft mattress and some fitness balloons on the floor and people roll their body on top of it, or, some kind of rail that a person need to hold on and walk 2 meters per minute. i was wrong. it was a small room. 2 beds inside and a few strange machines, that's it. it's less than 80 sq. feet!

I had to do 2 things, one is ultrasonic therapy - some blue gel spread over my knee and a nurse using an ultrasonic device circling or massaging over my knee cap. it's like what people do when they are checking their babies in their womb. this time it's not a camera but just something to make my bruised and swollen "soft bones" inside my knee heal more quickly, and ease my pain.

The second thing is a strange machine and it has 4 stuff to cup around my knee. they sucks. literally. they suck my skin and created a little bit of vacuum, and then they release some electricity to activate my muscles... my muscles were twitching in a rhythm for about 15 minutes! it was a weird experience.

I do hope this really works. i want to climb mountains and do all these sports again!

PSP

2007-05-01T00:54:00.000+08:00

When PSP came out it was mind blowing. the screen, the technology, the graphic, the quality of the games, the price. i loved it and i would want to have one for myself!

Now after a couple of years everyone has a PSP. even all 5 year old kids have a PSP. in the MTR everyone is carrying a PSP. in the bus everyone is playing with a PSP. In the classes the kids are talking and thinking about PSP.

It's such a successful product, almost everyone had it, even the older people uses it. I didn't have it, and now i hated it.

Think of this way. every 5 to 16 year old has a PSP. how can they afford it? their parents. Their parents are either 1) spoiling their childrens and risking with their academic result, 2) the kids are kidnapping them selves if their old mans don't buy them the PSP there would no longer be father and son.

And the 2nd fact was most probably quite common. If a kid don't get a PSP from their folks they would die in front of their parents. The will have no self-esteem in front of classmates. There will be no meaning of life for them. they will have no interest in sports or collecting stamps or whatsoever anymore. Because they don't have a freaking PSP.

I went to the Golden computer center last night. What did i see? Father and sons buying PSP. The sons are pointing this and that and seems so pro and talk with the shop keepers. Fathers? asking for the price... where will he have warranty... can they buy pirated version games instead of the throat-cutting priced games (for the children standard).

What is wrong with the world? kids are bringing their parents to shop. They won't be a good children if they don't have a PSP. they won't study hard because they cannot relax with the PSP after the stressful school life. They just won't behave without the PSP. Sport? do it in PSP. Study? study the games of PSP. Healthy hobby? Do i need to mention?

Now what happened? PARENTS COMPROMISES. They had to please their sons by spoiling them with PSP - I would say, the ultimate evil product from SATAN ever created for the kids in the early 21th century.

Thought of the minute

2007-04-28T14:18:00.000+08:00

I miss that troubled, hopeless, innocent, inaccessible, hard to be understood, yet friendly and easy-going, special and unusual, smart but weird, mysterious, give unexpected responses, laugh all the time, silly, talented...little cute creature.
