and you will meet many strangers

Heard this once from my friend (..and he claimed he heard this from some film he watched): Plan your life and God will laugh at you.

When I take my sugar to coffee (not tea)

She broke free of the chords and released her fingers into intricacy, tumbling into something she had held back, the jazz detail that split open notes and angles from the chestnut of melody.
When I take my sugar to tea
all the boys are jealous of me,
so I never take her where the gang goes
when I take my sugar to tea


(The English Patient, Michael Ondaatje)

Return I will

In his essay, The Location of Brazil, reflection of Terry Gilliam’s Brazil, Salman Rushdie says that it is not easy to be precise to locate the world of imagination. Ah never mind the precise location. We are all everyday Sam Lowry physically sitting on a hot seat with our minds wandering in the world we invent just like some cliché of “I am here but I am really gone”. And the imagination of having the eccentric Harry Tuttle, a superhero, saved my day with his tagline: We’re all in it together... Ah why is it always about the book I read or the movie I watch…Just like my friend once posted in his blog (Why Brazil, someone once said), let’s just enjoy every scenes of the film that kills again and again..every comical turbulences and dark romance… Brazil, where hearts were entertaining June/
We stood beneath an amber moon/
And softly murmured someday soon/
We kissed, and clung together there/
Tomorrow was another day (as performed by Geoff Muldaur)

New Territories HK #1-Fanling (2009&2011)

Tang clan was one of the great five clans in Hong Kong. Many believe that Tang clan descendants are the native Hong Kong people since it was the first clan settled in HK after migrating from Jiangxi Province during Song Dynasty era in 12th century. The most famous remain of Tang Clan is a walled village, Lung Yeuk Tau, in Fanling (New Territory, HK) as people living there are claimed as descendants of Tang’s eldest son. Nowadays all remains of Tang Clan (Lung Yeuk Tau,Kat Hing Wai and Ping Shan) have become HK heritage trails. Yet, due to the close nature of people living there, it is quiet difficult to capture the way they live their lives. I and my friend were disappointed as Lung Yeuk Tau was closed for tourists. Well, anyway, they are completely entitled for having a peaceful life without being annoyed by traveler wannabes like me and my friend trying to freeze moments with our cameras hahahaha. Anyway I was so fond of the traditional ambience of New Year festival there for I am not kind of person who wishes for exuberant prosperity. Wishing for “prosperity” is already an abundant wish anyway. So, happy lunar new year…
