大個仔!

迎面有人跟我打招呼,胸前Rolleiflex camera,手執Kill Bill DVD,咁浮誇,原來係以前教過嘅主日學生,而家大到同我講電影,仲教我用Rolleiflex,真係大個仔!

1/1000

在三千煩惱絲中,被人發現1條白髮,再自己發現2條,3/3000 = 一千份之一
然後我思考白髮何時出現?為甚麼沒發覺,一發覺竟已是白得發亮的三條,
一失神,就滑倒了,膝頭一片紅,就這樣過了又白又紅的一天。

Nail Nail niece篇

琴晚大兒甥女唔開心
因為佢媽媽唔同佢擦指甲油
原來da da同學用左粉紅色指甲油
佢覺得粉紅色好靚
但係我阿媽.我同阿妹都從來唔fancy呢d野
阿妹真係接受唔到個女擦指甲油
我建議幫公仔擦,滿足下,
希望work la
而家佢只不過3歲
估唔到唔係要人地玩具
係要指甲油
應該好快要high heels, handbags la
hahaha:)

Voyage


To me, travelling is to leave comfort zone and experience paradigm shift. We may think that we know sth but that is not always true.
It is also interesting to meet people.
I met a girl from US who reminded me of 'Ugly Betty' who has numerous dreams to fulfill.
I met another US lady who is a CEO of a big firm in Oregon who has her own history.
I witnessed how Amsterdam people managed their staff in Amsterdam.
I saw Jaywalking quiet common in Amsterdam, but not in Berlin.
I heard Amsterdam guy saying everything there is legal.
More to that, I truly experienced the power of nature in Tier garten and palace gardens.
My impression of Amsterdam is full of canals.
My favorite place is the area around flower market, where they have good restaurants
Last but not the least, Van Gogh musuem is a must go.
Amsterdam is said to be a free place. But on the other side of the coin, is it more 'not free'?... the red district is behind the old church, a designated area.

About Berlin, it is diffciult to sum up. Too complex. I could not even select a representative picture. Berlin Wall? Holocaust? Prussian Palaces? Philosophers? Cars?
Parliament buidling is an impressive place. I did not realise before that 'democracy' could be that transparent. The new glass building sigifies democracy - people's participation. Berlin has different 'attitudes' to offer, a charming place.

It is probably time to pick up my German again by reading books, to start, what about Karl Barth?

First day in Amsterdam


Unprecedental 5 degree celcius in Amsterham in May (supposed to be Spring), very cold
I did not bring many clothes, dilemma really, I have to travel light. I do not want at all carrying heavy luggage to go from one train station to another.
Have to try to adjust to this cold weather, though people said that I can buy clothes here but all stores here are selling Spring collection....
May have to go to University area and see whether I can get all year available pullover hahaha :)
Apart from cold weather, streets are full of rubbish bags. Cleaners are on strike. I saw a girl taking a photo of the mountain like rubbish bags. She accidentally fell and sat on to the rubbish bags. Not very pleasant ha but she seemed happy even though her trouser smelled now. Coudl not imagine the streets will be like in next couple days.
The Stedelijk musuem's renovation work has not completed. The completion date has been further delayed. But Van Gogh museum is the best van gogh museum if compared to the one in barcelona and in arles. The museum building itself is stylish. Paintings are well presented. They also showed Gauguin's works.From this exhbition, I know more Japanese painting influence on Van gogh. Now I remembered Van Gogh by colours: blue, yellow, green.Rembrand works in Rijksmuseum gave me new understanding of the Jewish bride and apostle Paul. When facing the paintings, I like Apostle Paul even more. Reambrand reminds me how complex color black can be.

29+1 continous tense?

今時今日去欣賞29+1第六次演出
原以為內容好girlish好女人,但睇睇下想起詹瑞文及梅小蕙
30係一個告別少女,工作又去到臨界點ge時候
30提示了限期
回望當年的我也曾跟風買品牌護膚品,也曾買scarf,更收了不少餅卡
In my 30's,爸爸離世,前男友出trip,然後分手
30讓我們重新了解及愛護自己
29+1看似熟識,但也很陌生
這一代的30,不是這樣
這點,彭秀慧自己也知道
29+1讓我看到不是時間,反看出距離
人無法永遠29+1

或然率

上帝時常repeat certain verses to me in a particular time. merely by chance?以或然率解釋,有點unbelievable
1 May 讀經日及 2 May 另一教會service,都講Mark 9;21-24
'在信的人,凡事都到'
在最近暗湧,重覆在腦海出現

讀經日 on labour's day

本來麻麻地想去
但又好似神鋪哂路
唔去,唔知點咁
8:30集合
我7:30起身
點知洗完頭
望下電腦
8:27!!!
吓,頭都未吹
沖出去,一面想縮沙
趕到8:38
點知大把人未到
對讀經日,有d抗拒
不過上帝一早以'誰曾應許'
把我擊倒
主題信息可以
Workshop竟然選利末記
而利末記19章又好arm今日勞動節
lunch用嘅caterer gourmet express食物精美 (www.gourmetexpress.com.hk)
未食先被誠意感動
so very fruitful labour's day

p.s. 今日發現床頭個鐘真係慢左半句鐘,真相大白

Bookeasy and old flowers



茱迪小姐和我飯聚後,發現了CWB新書店bookeasy'有好書店'(近恭和堂),有教人DIY com from台灣及日本的冷門書
店主Mag自己喜歡書,書店名正反映店主想分享好書,食譜設計建築等書圖文美得悅目,竟又實用
最意外的發現是...她藏有自己以前和友人經營過的書店在書展中派發的書簽,多奇妙!
另外發現www.old-flower.blogspot.com的畫 ,竟然出自男士手筆,夢幻得來又型.surprises everywhere indeed捧着花藝手工書回家,好滿足.那本老爹媽恩中英對照老人家帶着生命故事的食譜.沒吃也暖在心窩.
