Decoding Francis Bacon

What? Bird flu?

Will you be frightened by these funny birds for H5N1?

Life-wide learning day -- outing in a showery day

In such a boring rainy day, man, you got to cheer up, rite?

Mei Dou Cafe forever

Diving bell and butterfly

Heard of this book for years, and knowing the prizes won by it, I dare not enter the cinema for it until some film-addicts invited me to go. Why no gut going for it? Just the same for the reason for recommending it now, the reflection of one's life towards love and life.

In fact, the tone of the story was not that sad and heavy, instead it was full of humour. The use of first-person view and narration was an interesting perspective to see one's life on his own. When Jean-Do laughed at himself for all the "troubles" suffered the "lock-in" syndrome, his life began in another way. What the film inspires me most is, we always can only treasure what is left after we lose. Death is not terrible, unable to love is even worst.

A happy evening

Kite Runner

Unexpectedly, I really found this movie lovely and really touching. Much effort of the director was put in the first half the film, just like its original story, the friendship between two boys, a young master and a servant, which turned out to be of closer relationship after the death of one of them, was full of the simplicity of childhood. The ups and downs of lives of these two boys revealed the stratification of social status, background and tribes. Before I can have clearer understanding of the so and so of the social and political issues mentioned in the movie, I was deeply attracted to the sound, the scenic views in the movie. And ultimately, the courage and love shone from people worth all tears shed in the cinema.

Funny snapshots in this cold holiday

I met Gaylord's "Swift and Safe" again in Central MTR, yeah, I was not in the museum.

At the end of each Chinese New Year, this store is always crowded with people, doing their shopping for traditional snacks for the festival.

It was really weired to find nobody in this X-box on the move, just because every body was busy preparing for the New Year. Who cares about the box?

Happy New Year!

In the Year of Rat, I would like to say...
Kung Hei Fat Choi!
Gong Xi Fa Cai!
Wish all the best to you!

A very wonderful family dinner with my friend

After the New Year Eve dinner (early version) at my home, I joined my friend's family 'annual dinner' on last Sunday. Needless to say, we had a wonderful dinner. Thanks to whole Wongs family, and the sweet kitten ambassador. Really lovely!

My best pick of mall in this CNY (so far...)

I mean the one above. Not below. Don't you find it funny to sit next to a fat rat?

Though the rats are rather stupid, lots of people like to take photographs with them~

My simple CNY eve dinner

Thanks to these two VIPs to my home! It's been a while not making such "serious" dinner at home, though it is just simple traditional dishes I used to have before Chinese New Year. And the quality was still so far so good. At least, I heard no complaint from my friends about any getting-poorer cooking skills. Most of the dishes were cleared! Perhaps it was also due to the severely cool weather, and my apartment was still pretty cool with heater and oven on. (Yes, we turned on the oven as heater to supplement the weak heater.)

Menu of the day:

Pig's tongue stewed with dried mushroom, oyster, and "hair" vegetable

Steamed pork sausage and pork liver sausage

Steamed fish

Fried glass noodles with dried shrimp and white cabbage

1 bottle of Riesling

1 bottle of Sauvignon Blanc

Mouth-watering? See if you have the other chances~

What's more, this is the gift I got. Lovely!
