A luxury bathroom!!

What can you do while you are bathing?
Listening to music and having a cold drink could be good enough.
Sometimes ,, it could be better...

Discovery of another tofu store

Discover this new style Tofu store in Mongkok by accident. I haven't tried anything from this one, but I feel really funny to see the differences among these two stores. Which one would you like to visit?

Back to the 60s, Hong Kong

It looks exactly the same as the old time. I used to pass by this store(specialized in selling different types of tofu) everyday on my way to the "primary school". Tofu pudding is the most famous dish there. You can also try the fried tofu..this tofu(not the fermentated type) smells delicious with golden crispy skin. The traditional place you can visit in the district I lived.

Conversations with god...

Finally, I started "my conversation with God". It is a book written by Neale Donald Walsch. It was introduced by my non-Christian friend long time ago, whom said this book inspired her a lot about life and everything. It is about life and some philosophy, not about religions(maybe it is understood differently by those religious). She highly recommended me to read it… hopefully it can also inspire me something… or maybe nothing, since I am senseless and also absent-hearted!!!

3 weeks' time in HongKong

3 weeks of staying in Hong Kong gave me plenty of time to meet friends. I thought I would appreciate it very much. Now, 3 weeks gone, I suddenly realized that I don’t really get use to this kind of life style. I hated working at office hours. I felt exhausted after long working time each day. Dates and gatherings could not occupy all the evenings. I didn’t really enjoy the TV programs when I was home alone. I felt detached to my home town, and also started getting bored ……. Am I born to be a rootless? Flying abroad always provides me an escape route. Will I be able to get back to the normal track someday?

Meeting in Toulous!!!

Just few days gathering is not enough for us to talk .... we really need some time to talk about life, love, career, and .. everything..

Best wishes for my dearest!!

First audience with her Majesty....

Holding a one-month-old baby was such a big challenge to me. No matter what pose I tried, princess Isabella did not feel happy at all. No more than 5 minutes, she started to complain by opening her month, stretching legs, waving hands, squinting eyes, squeezing out tears, raising her voice ... I might as well announce "I surrender"!!

Left behind..

Sometimes your peers can tell you so much about life that you haven't experienced,
such as:
guys getting promoted,
pretties getting married, and divorced
friends expecting babies,

girls migrating to new city,

people returning to school,

they are all settling in new lives and new jobs...

Everyone is changing...
just me.. the only one achieving nothing..
still hanging around and doing nothing...
the only one and last one left behind..
and sleeping in my own nut shell.

Boring nite in Hotel..

Jetlag is one of the negative things of travellling. What can you do for a long nite if you can only stay in the hotel room? I used to watch TV at the old time. But it won't be a good solution if you are staying in Europe or other non-English speaking cities. All TV shows were in the local language which I cannot even understand a single word. So I took the camera out and made some stupid pic this time...

Studying abroad!!

Studying abroad is always my dream.

I asked my family if there is any chance for me to study somewhere else when I was fifteen. But it was obvious that my family cannot afford it at that time.

When I was about twenty, I asked my family again if I can join any exchange programme that allows me to study abroad, which I thought the cost should be affordable. But my mum said there were thousands of sick people around the world, it is unsafe to let me stay with strangers. It sounded reasonable, request denied!

When I thirty, this studying abroad dream occupied my mind again. I could pay the course fee by myself, I could stay in either dorm or with host family, I could take care of myself, I don't even need my family's approval. But there even more considerations to stop me from doing so... too many resposiblities that could not allow me to....

Out of control!!

There always something happens in life that is not under your control. If it appears in the way you desire, that is your luck. If it does not, what can you do about it? Accept it or what else can be done? My EQ just not good enough to accept it without any complains. But camplains can do nothing beneficial at all. What would the people with high EQ do about it? How can they think and act rationally?
