Flooding in the East coast of US

The flooding is so serious, coupled with super strong wind. I truly hope 'God bless America' and it is not just a slogan that we hear from politicians in front of TV.

莫讓快奪走同理心

司機們,請不要在巴士站旁高速行駛,污水濺到路人身上。 巴士司機們,不要駕駛得像駕過山車,我再老一點時,即使免費,也不敢搭。 朋友,上車嘟八達通時,不要在我右邊打尖上車,一手伸過來嘟八達通,使我無法通過,因為你的手正好在我敏感位置,我可不想陷你於不義。

Eating legs and foot

I was very obsessed with the idea that macarons have legs and clams have foot (one only). I felt so strange when I ate them knowing that 'legs' or 'foot' are there. Naming really makes a difference.

Another type of Big brother

I was forced to upgrade my iphone to a higher IOS. I cannot ACCESS certain apps because of not upgrading. I HATE the idea of "non stop progressing". Do I have a choice? Can I be happy with status quo? Could I not 'progress'? Why do we have to follow others' practices? Why do we have to follow the mind of the 'programmers'? Why do we need to respond to whats' app? Sometimes, I felt like voluntarily surrendering to Big Brother, who knows about myself more than I do. The data they collected about me made me feel so naked and insecure. So I may have to get myself off from the techno convenience. I respect people who are not using smart phones because sometimes smart phones only make the users look more stupid.

A touch An action A thought

In praise of Love The translator Peter Bush translated it to beautiful English. Found the website below when searching for more info about the book on Wittgenstein, really nice and resourceful webpage http://www.apieceofmonologue.com/2011/07/alain-badiou-wittgenstein.html?m=1

The honesty is too much

My boss recently 'unlike' me as I have to tell him some facts/truth. It is never easy to be honest. But I want to be honest than be sorry.

消失的約櫃

昨天聼講道講重建聖殿,提到沒回歸的約櫃。我在想上帝為何讓約櫃缺席,及後上網再查,有資料提到約櫃可能在埃賽俄比亞的一教堂內,我早前看lonely planet見過教堂外觀,要行一段不平坦的路才能到達,也不讓人參觀,另有當地信徒得啟示在山中為上帝挖岩石教堂,無論約櫃傳說真偽,我透過電視屏幕,也感受他們對信仰單純的持守。

進步Vs過程,really?

Ends do not justify the means.做得好的過程會事半功倍,在道理之外,不要廢掉邏輯。

More on dOCUMENTA

I have read some articles on dOCUMENTA in local newspaper and magazines. I think that none of them fully presents the uniqueness of dOUCMENTA. dOCUMENTA is about documentation and the brochure is a 'thick catalogue' illustrating ideas with words in 'un'fancy format. The exhibition is about 'Perpective(s) on Perspective(s)', a collision of realities, a statement to the world by the Artists. It is not just another exhibition. It is an exhbition of documentation which opens to interpretation.

諾貝爾文學獎的意義

中國人拿諾貝爾獎是麻煩事,愛恨榮辱,個人群體,好像清賬一樣,得獎者要面對比寫文章更複雜的事。我不需要趕買莫言的作品,因為大學時修比較文學,讀過紅高粱、豐乳肥臀,尤其記得當中的慾望和自由,潛伏在社會中每個個體中,當時我覺得這個作家很瘋狂,在今天他獲獎,我想是瘋狂得到此時此刻世界的共鳴。

Statistics

My master thesis on law and language, which I have done long time ago, can still be accessed with internet.  With HKU Scholar Hub statistics, I can view the statistics and the profile.  So glad that my thesis has been read by some.

Respect artwork

I like to go to museums, but museums have more restrictions now - must use cloakroom/ cannot not bring bottle water because there are people who will ruin artwork simply for the sake of making his/her statement.
This happened to the Rothko's works I saw in Tate. A Russian guy drew on the works with his marker.....
Well... if sb dislike certain artworks, they could create their own using softwares, apps and please do not ruin the real one!!!
for teh news, can check on bbc website

Observing Light

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9T_TMmmBb_U&feature=youtu.be

Zoom in and zoom out
Repeatedly and unexpectedly
Magical as it can be
The splendid ring of light
Enchanted by this magic ring
I do not realise time flies
Sunrise and sunset
Day after Day
Night after Night

Love ceramics!

My leftover, homemade apple crumble looked so pretty on the loveramics plate. The plate is perfect for serving dessert. I love loveramics catalogue too - so chic!!!

上遊Sheung Wan HK

Wish the developers won't destroy communities like Soho in Wanchai, Central and Sheung Wan. The spontaneous and organic development allows the communities to grow and no planning is necessary. Any planned market, shop or mall will only destroy particularities that attract people. We do not go to travel to see the same things. We are the same but not that the same. Trend changed, people need no 'malls'. Even mainlanders came to HK for camping and less people go to shopping malls during tourist golden week! Small shops in Sheung Wan should be allowed to survive without the threat of ever raising rents. Governemnt has to protect these communities because communities form solidarity and security for people. Po Atelier sells artisan bread Teakha has nice cameralised lemon tea Visionarire represents a French touch

Sunday service sometimes too professional

南丫島撞船意外後的第一個主日,我在另一間教會聚會。在周刊看到這教會有人在海難中喪生,心一沈,牧師接着談甚麼要做見證,我全聽不入耳,教會真是太專業,我只想着一句經文,與哀哭的人同哀哭,快樂福音不足夠承載生命,苦難以祈禱pack埋,也太功能化。我們說要傳福音,但缺了耶穌的心腸。time to grief, also a time to be close to God.

單身女子自遊行

Facial姐姐第一次與女性朋友自遊行,我跟她分享了我的經驗,在北京三里屯有位黑人扮熟追着我,好不容易才不讓他跟上。在巴黎酒店附近吃晚餐,有一法國人喝了點酒緊盯着我,我扮着沒發現,他走出餐廳拍打着玻璃叫我回頭看,吵得太兇了,他的朋友把他帶走了我想他喝醉了。所以如果你是單身女子異國自遊行,請小心醉酒佬。

望海

這陣子海的顏色變了,看到朋友fb post遊船河相,like不了。

Fun to read - shrinking cities

Discussed with my friends earlier during 'Yum Cha' about the trend that people return to rural life, both in England and in HK. The link below sheds light on this topic: http://www.shrinkingcities.com/index.php?L=1

Homemade - a taste that I desire

I made my own blueberry jam because I found the jams available in supermarkets are too sweet. Blueberry jam + cream + scone, just perfect!

Popular philosophy

Philosophy can be popular? Yes, at least for the Dutch people. http://www.filosofiemagazine.nl/nl/content/22985/all-of-these-people-come-here-for-philosophy.html The European countries did good jobs in preserving what human beings are. In France, the French preserve the bookstores. In Dutch, they use philosophy to handle everyday life which enable people to discuss with reason.
