幾米與宫崎峻

2011-01-05T17:58:00.006+09:00

早一陣子經過三里屯, 其實一早發現最近多了很多有趣的 Art display, 但沒想原來是幾米在這裏做展覽. 看完後覺得幾米實在可算是不簡單的藝術家, 不知為何在展覽廳裏腦中一直拿他跟宮崎駿做比較. 作品都很有點小王子式的寓意味道, 加上童趣的畫風.

印像最深刻的是一個白色的空間, 一對小男女孩掛著滿身的和滿地鑰匙, 站在門口兩旁. 想了很久...

不知不覺思想中有了把幾米與日本的宮崎峻對比, 大家覺得相像否?

Man in the mirror

今天認真的聽了一次 MJ 的 Man in the mirror, 特然感到生命不過如此. 還有很多比我更不幸的人, 衣食不足, 戰爭, 動亂, 種族岐視, 生病.

其實伸出雙手, 就可以幫到很多的人.

Want to make a change, for once in my life.

今天的北京很溫柔

2010-07-10T18:33:00.002+09:00

整天下著濛濛的細雨相比起前兩個月的天氣總是愛恨分明的剛陽大雨強風
今天的北京散發著淡淡的溫柔有點像春天的倫敦但小了那份冷漠多了一點生怯

如果倫敦是一個穿著帶臉紗 Channel 小黑帽帶點寂寞的貴婦
那今天的北京就是穿著Kenzo 碎花裙臉帶羞怯的小姑娘

今天的北京很舒服
但明天多數會變回太陽曝晒的現實北京吧..

Coming soon..

2012 Apocalypse

2010-04-17T18:09:00.003+09:00

The Bible recorded by the year 2012, an Apocalypse will come to the world. The Jewish believed the rise of a Messiah in the year 2012, and the Mayan calendar was said to end in the same year. And so many people believed the world will end in that moment.

Reading Dan Brown's book - The Lost Symbol, has discussed about the historical facts above. The word Apocalypse was literally a Greek translation of "To Reveal", not the end of the world. To reveal some kind of knowledge that was hidden from man kind for centuries, and the knowledge, whether position or negative, would change the course of human history.

I personally believed that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) built by the CERN (European Organisation for Nuclear Research) holds the key to this mystery. The LHC is a device that designed to test the forming moment of the universe by colliding atom particles millions of time in the speed of light, it will unveil the knowledge about the birth of this universe, the black hold, Einstein's physic theory...etc. The time frame is coincidently matching the year of 2012.

Does it means something? Will that be the Apocalypse that the Bible and Mayan calendar is pointing to?

I do hope that it could be the Apocalypse will reveal the knowledge that help human evolve into a new level . That we no longer will need to harm the environment and to end the endless fight to diseases.

其實一直也有留意這方面的新聞和報道.
有感於對人類現有的生活方式覺得很浪費, 想請大家試著實行一些細微的生活調整, 將會有效感少對大自然的傷害.

Tips:
多吃菜, 小吃肉

外出用餐時, 應點最少兩個菜類的食品, 最後才點肉類.

前幾天看到 Discovery 的節目, 裏面提到, 生物每生長一磅的肉需要消耗30磅的植物. 所以多吃菜可以咸低大量畜牧業的需求, 還對身體健康, 進而咸低生畜所需之碳排放.

2009-05-30T00:18:00.003+09:00

Few days ago I met Suzuki for dinner, the head of design department in C.C. †Cross, a rather new fashion brand in Japan. Went to their showroom where they are featuring another new brand - Decious, where it will debut next month in Japan Kobe Collection, one of the largest fashion exhibition in Japan.

Designs are not so special, the normal Daikanyama and Shibuya style with mid-range price. However as I know Suzuki there will be a price advantage for me, which could be potential sourcing for Chichi2.com

Recently just been seeing lots of people and trying to secure good sourcing channels. A step closer to Chichi fashion empire!

Le Petit Prince

2009-05-25T10:17:00.002+09:00

it was then that the fox appeared.
"good morning" said the fox.

"good morning"
the little prince responded politely
altho when he turned around he saw nothing.

"I am right here" the voice said, "under the apple
tree."

"who are you?" asked the little prince, and added,

"You are very pretty to look at."

"I am a fox", the fox said.

"Come and play with me,"
proposed the little prince, "I am so unhappy."

"I cannot play with you," the fox said,
"I am not tamed."

"AH please excuse me,"said the little prince.
But after some thought, he added:
"what does that mean---'tame'?"

"you do not live here," said the fox,
"what is it you are looking for?"

"I am looking for men," said the little prince.
"What does that mean---tame?"

"Men,"said the fox,
"they have guns, and they hunt.
It is very disturbing.
They also raise chickens.
These are their only interests.
Are you looking for chickens?"

"No," said the little prince.
"I am looking for friends.
What does that mean---tame?"

"It is an act too often neglected,"
said the fox.
"It means to establish ties."

"To establish ties?"

"Just that," said the fox.
"to me, you are still nothing more than
a little boy who is just like
a hundred thousand other little boys.
And I have no need of you.
And you, on your part, have no need of me.
To you I am nothing more
than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes.
But if you tame me, then we shall need each other.
To me, you will be unique in all the world.
To you, I shall be unique in all the world. . ."

"I am beginning to understand,"
said the little prince.

"There is a flower. . .I think she has tamed me. . ."

"It is possible," said the fox.

"On earth one sees all sorts of things."

"Oh but this is not on the earth!"
said the little prince.

The fox seemed perplexed, and very curious.
"On another planet?"

"Yes"

"Are there hunters on that planet?"

"No"

"Ah that's interesting! Are there chickens?"

"No"

"Nothing is perfect," sighed the fox.
But he came back to his idea.
"My life is very monotonous," he said.
"I hunt chickens; men hunt me.
All chickens are just alike,
and all the men are just alike.
And in consequence, I am a little bored.
But if you tame me,
it will be as if the sun came to shine on my life.
I shall know the sound of a step that will be
different from all the others.
Other steps send me hurrying back
underneath the ground.
Yours will call me, like music out of my burrow.
And then look:
you see the grain-fields down yonder?
I do not eat bread.
Wheat is of no use to me.
The wheat fields have nothing to say to me.
And that is sad.
But you have hair that is the color of gold.
Think how wonderful that will be
when you have tamed me!
The grain, which is also golden,
will bring me back the thought of you.
And I shall love to listen
to the wind in the wheat. . ."

The fox gazed at the little prince,
for a long time.
"Please---tame me!" he said.

"I want to, very much," the little prince replied.
"But I have not much time.
I have friends to discover,
and a great many things to understand."

"One only understands the things that one tames,"
said the fox.
" Men have no more time to understand anything.
They buy things all ready made at the shops.
But there is no shop anywhere
where one can buy friendship,
and so men have no friends any more.
If you want a friend, tame me. . ."

"What must I do, to tame you?
asked the little prince.

"You must be very patient," replied the fox.
First you will sit down
at a little distance from me
-like that-in the grass.
I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye,
and you will say nothing.
Words are the source of misunderstandings.
But you will sit a little closer to me,
every day..."

The next day the little prince came back.

"It would have been better to come back
at the same hour," said the fox.
"If for example, you came at four o'clock
in the afternoon,
then at three o'clock I shall begin to be happy.
I shall feel happier and happier
as the hour advances.
At four o'clock,
I shall be worrying and jumping about.
I shall show you how happy I am!
But if you come at just any time,
I shall never know at what hour
my heart is ready to greet you. . .
One must observe the proper rites. . ."

"What is a rite?" asked the little prince.

"Those also are actions too often neglected,"
said the fox.
"they are what make one day
different from other days,
one hour different from other hours.
There is a rite, for example, among my hunters.
Every Thursday they danse with the village girls.
So Thursday is a wonderful day for me!
I can take a walk as far as the vineyards.
But if the hunters danced at just any time,
every day would be like
every other day,
and I should never have any vacation at all."


So the little prince tamed the fox.
And when the hour of his departure drew near---

"Ah," said the fox, "I shall cry."

"It is your own fault," said the little prince.
"I never wished you any sort of harm;
but you wanted me to tame you. . ."

"Yes that is so", said the fox.

"But now you are going to cry!"
said the little prince.

"Yes that is so" said the fox.

"Then it has done you no good at all!"

"It has done me good," said the fox,
"because of the color of the wheat fields."
And then he added:
"go and look again at the roses.
You will understand now
that yours is unique in all the world.
Then come back to say goodbye to me,
and I will make you a present of a secret."

The little prince went away,
to look again at the roses.
"You are not at all like my rose," he said.
"As yet you are nothing.
No one has tamed you, and you have tamed no one.
You are like my fox when I first knew him.
He was only a fox
like a hundred thousand other foxes.
But I have made a friend,
and now he is unique in all the world."
And the roses were very much embarrassed.
"You are beautiful, but you are empty," he went on.
"One could not die for you.
To be sure, an ordinary passerby would think
that my rose looked just like you
--the rose that belongs to me.
But in herself alone she is more important
than all the hundreds of you
other roses: because it is she that I have watered;
because it is she
that I have put under the glass globe;
because it is for her
that I have killed the caterpillars
(except the two or three we saved
to become butterflies);
because it is she that I have listened to,
when she grumbled,
or boasted,
or even sometimes when she said nothing.
Because she is MY rose."


And he went back to meet the fox.
"Goodbye" he said.

"Goodbye," said the fox.
"And now here is my secret, a very simple secret:
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;
what is essential is invisible to the eye."

"What is essential is invisible to the eye,"
the little prince repeated,
so that he would be sure to remember.

"It is the time you have wasted for your rose
that makes your rose so important.

"It is the time I have wasted for my rose--
"said the little prince
so he would be sure to remember.

"Men have forgotten this truth," said the fox.
"But you must not forget it.
You become responsible, forever,
for what you have tamed.
You are responsible for your rose. . ."

"I am responsible for my rose,"
the little prince repeated,
so that he would be sure to remember.

4點05分
醒來睡不著是昨晚那杯 Whisky Soda 吧
喝了酒後總是會很早醒來

還是那將要到來的今天所帶來的複雜的情緒
搞不清楚
想要趕快進入生命中下一個階段

其實一直覺得自己寫的東西很不利落總是想發洩一下清緒但又不想讓人知道內心的一點什麼
時常有衝動把這個blog關閉
是時侯要調整一下寫作的風格

The long forgotten wish

2009-04-12T01:08:00.004+09:00

What is it to feel like when one day your long forgotten wish becomes true, un-knowingly, un-expectedly, and half consciously. Remembering how desperate one's craving for fulling that wish, the sadness when one realised it will never be fullfilled, and how relieved that it was finally tucked in the safe box burried in memories.

And now 11 years later, when one has almost forgotten how deep this box is burried, safely thinking that it is no longer needed. Then one day you realised it has came true...

Tho not in the ideal way, tho the subject has changed with time, tho it is now no longer needed, tho one is now confused, tho it has make one's life more complicated, tho one knows it will vanish like a shooting star. It has came true.

Best thing one can do is to treasure of what is coming, the taste of the bittersweetness and try to capture in memory the shooting star moment...

Until the very last day.

how deep and personal can you reveal yourself in a blog?
is it just an official face you try to portrait yourself?
or you risk revealing the naked, vulnerable true self to any strangers pass by.

is it a reflection of one's strength or weakness
or one's darkness

a constant struggle of balance

Save the earth

2009-03-15T03:41:00.001+09:00

For the first time in history, people of all ages, nationalities, race and background have the opportunity to use their light switch as their vote – Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming. WWF are urging the world to VOTE EARTH and reach the target of 1 billion votes, which will be presented to world leaders at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009.

This meeting will determine official government policies to take action against global warming, which will replace the Kyoto Protocol. It is the chance for the people of the world to make their voice heard.

Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007, when 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights for one hour. In 2008 the message had grown into a global sustainability movement, with 50 million people switching off their lights. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome’s Colosseum, the Sydney Opera House and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square all stood in darkness.

In 2009, Earth Hour is being taken to the next level, with the goal of 1 billion people switching off their lights as part of a global vote. Unlike any election in history, it is not about what country you’re from, but instead, what planet you’re from. VOTE EARTH is a global call to action for every individual, every business, and every community. A call to stand up and take control over the future of our planet. Over 74 countries and territories have pledged their support to VOTE EARTH during Earth Hour 2009, and this number is growing everyday.

We all have a vote, and every single vote counts. Together we can take control of the future of our planet, for future generations.

VOTE EARTH by simply switching off your lights for one hour, and join the world for Earth Hour.

Baz Luhrmann

2009-02-24T10:44:00.003+09:00

今天想介紹一個我最喜歡的電影導演其中之一

Baz Luhrmann

他拍過的電影只有四套, Strictly Ballroom (1992), Romeo + Juliet (1996), Moulin Rouge (2001) and Australia (2008).

雖然只看過 Romeo + Juliet 跟 Moulin Rouge, 但戲裏那夢幻般的佈影, 迷網的氣氛, 歌舞劇般的編排, 精美的服裝和一流的音樂都深深的留在腦海裏. 說起音樂, 覺得這實在是電影裏不可缺少的最重要的一個元素. Romeo + Juliet 裏那首 Kissing you, 只單用鋼琴伴奏由Des'ree 那豐厚低沉的聲音唱出來, 那種張力, 傷感, 浪漫和沉醉的感覺完全把畫面美化一百倍.
再聽 Moulin Rouge 裏那歌舞劇式的音樂, Nicole Kidman 和 Ewan McGregor 合唱的 How wonderful life is, 和電影後段裏那由阿根廷跳者暗示他們倆的愛沒好結果的 Tango. 是電影畫面跟音樂的完美結合, 可以說在我看過所有的電影中配合最好的.

Baz Luhrmann 我想, 是一個浪漫的人. 由他腦海裏構想出來的世界被實現化後還能澄現出如此的效果如此想像他腦海中的世界會是多麽的夢幻. 他的前三部作品被稱為 The Red Curtain Trilogy, 是因為紅色的 Curtain 會帶給人神秘的感覺? 抑或那是形容他作品都帶著舞台劇式的傷感浪漫.. Romeo 跟 Juliet 最後想擁而死, Satine 最後死在 Christian 的懷中, 這都是紅色 Curtain 所代表的嗎.

很期待看他的新作 Australia, 在日本剛剛上畫不知道七年後再次合作的 nicole kidman 和 Baz Luhrman 會擦出什麼火花.
希望這次 Kidcole Kidman 會有個 Happy Ending 吧.

447 天

2009-02-18T01:39:00.005+09:00

不知不覺, 今天是在東京的 447 天.
忙碌的日本橋, 人擠人的涉谷, 高雅的表參道, 幽靜的代官山, 黑暗的六本木.
已經很熟悉各處的氣味.

無奈東瀛忍術起著作用, 是熟悉, 抑或幻覺..

二月的冬天沒有雨, 但耀眼的太陽遮檔了視線, 看不清未來. 刺骨的寒風守護著大道, 進退不能.
塔羅的女孩左右著分叉路, 誘惑著迷失的小丑..
Ploutos 在西邊的大海呼喚著..
黃金之鐘一分一秒在轉動.

今天, 是第 447 天.

記得上年聖誔期間在代官山逛街時逛到一間很有特色的傢俱用品店, 裏面在放的聖誔音樂很特別, 清脆的歌聲伴著木結他, 一絲絲優傷但又有種自得其樂的旋律, 唱著英語但又帶著日語口音. 很特別的音樂, 很喜歡就買下了這張CD - Presente de natal by naomi & goro.

在這裏送給大家這特別的聖誔音樂, 希望今年會有個不太一樣的聖誔.

誰會想到一個修女跟牧師的接吻，超越世俗的界限, 宗教的約束. 為愛帶來了無限的可能, 代表著未來無限的希望. 可能 Toscani 只想要這 visual 的效果, 但最少我是這樣理解的.

希望你們都可以找到各自的 Priest / Nun.

不論那是一個人, 或是自己喜歡做的事, 一樣東西, 一個地方.
找到了請不要猶豫.
要用盡全力, 去擁抱她.

A-mei Live Tokyo

2008-09-29T00:19:00.008+09:00

A-mei (Zheng Hui Mei), with her Taiwanese aborigines ethnic and gifted voice is now one of the biggest music sensations within the pop music pantheon of the Chinese-speaking world. I particularly liked her voice, which could be very deep and raucous in one moment and then went sky high and crystal clear the next, a truly unique and sensational voice.

I am very lucky that she came to perform in Tokyo, and without any hestitation I bought the ticket , together with 8 other friends :)

It is totally worth the price of 8,800 yen with almost 3 hours of solid performance and a fully seated stadium, where she toally controlled the emotional ups and downs of the audiences. With us dancing and screaming and shouting A-mei ..

Totally in love with her. Best singer in the world, A-mei.

the power of change

2008-09-24T16:14:00.003+09:00

Taken from the Times online news section:

"The National Research Council said that the total cost of deploying a national hydrogen network could be as high as $200 billion, including $55 billion in government aid through 2023. Some experts, like Mr. Hwang, expect the cost to be more than twice that.

In fact, given the uncertainties about which fuels will emerge as real alternatives to oil, energy executives still appear extremely cautions about hydrogen."

According to this article, by spending $200 billion or worst case $400 billion, it could change American transportation from oil depend to clean energy source with no carbon emission, and the goverment is hesitating to provide aids to fuel companies.

Instead the US goverment is going to splash out $700 billion to save the greedy wall street, to save the jobs of rediculously paid executives and to make sure some private 'donations' are available to the politicans.

They may argue that if the US financial industry collaps then it will have a profound influence on the whole world economy, but if spending $700 billion can only exchange for the hope that the crisis will end, to hope that the world will return to good old normal, so that the executives will continue to get paid and the initiative of fighting global warming remain slow, it is blatant for me that a national hydrogen fuel network is a much better deal for $700 billion. Even tho world economies may suffer, but for the sake of saving global warming and climate change, it is a sacrifice worth taking.

Now people should realise where the power of change remain, its in the hands of politicans, the greed, and the wall street.

Up and coming Korean fashion designer, graduated from Esmod Seoul in 1992 Juun.J began his career as a designer for “Chiffons” followed by design director for Club Monaco” and “NIX”.
With distinctive style of mixing and transforming classic items with street fashion, create new silhouettes and garments from an overlapping of items and silhouette to silhouette all of which dramatically conflict with each other.
Love his bladzers, it gives a sense of Dior slimming silhouette but with a more masculine street feeling, will try to get one..!

What the Pig Mama Says

The pupoh stopped to cheer. Leklek
was took away. He was mine biggest boy.
A good heart. Saved the best for Yenyen
and Hokhok. His- self eating leftovers.
I cried I cried. Not knew the bastang
took him where. Gokgou told me was hell.

We ate much as we liked. The white fence
put us safe safe. Always we talked, cheered.
The pupoh liked to play with Hokhok.
Mine little boy talked to them sweet.
He knew how make make community.
But Hokhok too was took away by same

same bastang they took Leklek before.
Mine only girl Yenyen too sad to see
her little brother went. She kept quiet
everydays think think. I begged the bastang
not took mine boy. They not understood.
Heard only something like “pok is good ”.

The pupoh talked little little. Yenyen
stopped to eat. She said, “No Hokhok play
wis me !” I sorry sorry for her. The bastang
came to take Yenyen. I saw her away.
I not cried. Maybe it better for Yenyen.
She will stop to think. No more think.

No more think think. Maybe I say
too much. Who is listening to my story?

Tom Ford

2008-08-26T17:37:00.004+09:00

Every man seem to have an emotional attachment to the Black colour, and Tom Ford has reinforced this thinking by using large amount of black in his designs, in which his taste deeply touches me. Though its too expensive for me to afford at this moment..

Prestige a Hong Kong based fashion magazine has recently given an interview for Tom Ford (Full article here), and by reading the interview I noticed he is a business man turned designer, his way of thinking is totally business oriented, and that he admits confidence could be faked, and his passion to black.

Something we share similarity of.

Not that I could be compare to him but I love reading someone else's success story, it reminds me of the many ways life could be lived and turned success and it is the motivation for me to pursue my ambition. To catch people like Tom Ford, if I can..

Endless nights of dinner meeting, works, schools, and parties... exhausted!
Life is too busy recently I dont even have time for sleep, not mentioning time for reading, thinking, house keeping, sports and relaxing. Those activities seem far away from me...let me reach it once again..

Going to transfer to a new company soon, Toray International. Its kind of exciting and worrying at the same time, as it will be very valuable to me to work and gain experience in this famous international company, but worries that I may not deliver much to the company.

Lots are happening and life seem overly chaotic, everything is in a mess.

lonely city

2008-07-22T14:16:00.002+09:00

City fell silent, moon took over the sky, one starts to wonder.

Everyone work hard, so hard that they forgot about what is important to them.

Lonely souls in the city keep walking, intersac at the crossing, they meet for a second, eyes contacted, lips open trying to express, their loneliness, but the poison of pride strikes.

No frivolous play, no one night stand, no mask and no money sex.
so one thinks.

Tonight body reacts, brain malfunctioned, its just some warmth we looking for, a soul to share.

Tonight in lonely city, lonely souls stand.

不倫

2008-07-17T10:17:00.007+09:00

今天在一個 blog 裏看到一篇文章, 第一眼被一張澳門街道的照片吸引, 本來沒有興趣細看下去, 遍遍看到主角的名字是 Simon 就看下去了.. 故事講述一對發生了不倫之戀的男女, 訴說女人總是遇到有婦之夫的煩腦, 結局是她們憧景的, 男人選擇了不倫的一半.
全文可看這裏: 艷's Style - 不倫愛我

可能有點切身的感受, 看完後有點複習的感覺.. 覺得生命有時簡單點不是更好嗎. 但無奈人生是注定不可能太簡單, 就像上天要在你身上留下一點點生命的痕蹟. 就像這篇文章裏所說:

"沒有人喜歡背叛另一個人，但是生命與感情是很難有邏輯的。"

Damn cough go away!

2008-07-14T18:30:00.001+09:00

Its been almost 3 weeks and my cough is not going away... damn you stop bloody coughing!

Dressing the Man

2008-07-07T13:30:00.003+09:00

"Why, after men today have spent more money on clothes than in any other period of history, are there fewer well-dressed men than at any time ever before?"

The beginning quotation of this book: Dressing The Man by Alan Flusser captured my instant attention in the book store, and I took it home with a slashing 9,000 yen. After seeing armies of suited men in Tokyo, most of them with unfit size of blazers or trousers, that I found agreement of the quote above.

An interesting book with lots of details of men's dressing. What to look for when trying on clothes in the fitting room, what kind of jacket to wear with a straight-point collar, the history of the monk-strap shoe, the correct position for a bow tie and what "business casual" really means.

In todays modern world, a T-shirt and jeans may be enough for most days, but dressing the traditional art of suits is a manner, and in my point of view, shows a man's taste as how he takes care of the details in life. I think men look their best in suits and there is a sense of empowerment and confident when men dress in a well tailored one.

the long awaited

2008-07-01T14:59:00.003+09:00

Today I have read one of the most exciting news to me recently, and its the 1st release of the making of Diablo 3. A PC game which originates from more than 10 years ago and will surely rocks the world when it comes out.
Since the release of the 1st Diablo series more than 10 years ago, and it was a crazy time, for that all my childhood friends and I are fallen into the dark world of Diablo and slashing monsters since.. it were good memories and such an addictive one.
Now the 3rd is about to come out, althought it maybe a year or two before its release but it means a lot to me, as one grew up and becoming more mature, materialistic, and pessimistic, that one can hardly find anything so simple that makes you feel exciting. Surprisingly just the news of Diablo 3 does the trick for me...

Art & Design exhibition @ shimokitasawa

2008-06-30T15:45:00.007+09:00

Sunday went to hv lunch with kuni then went to an art and design exhibition in shimokitasawa(下北澤) with maki and ikumi. Its in a small club and it was fun meeting lots of new talented japanese artist. Bought a t-shirt from Takumi who is now running his own shop mememachine in shibuya (www.mememachine.jp), the print is very special and it will belong to someone soon as I lost betting on Germany in the Euro final!

Also met tomo who's design strongly reminds of andy warhole and vivien westwood and stylish as she is, i think shes got great potential in future. (www.shojonotomo.com)
Not to mention asako's austrialian & south american style accessories, which my frds love very much..

Chalie Wilson's War

2008-06-02T11:58:00.002+09:00

Yesterday I went to see Charlie Wilson's War with lan, masa and natalia. The film is about one US congressman Charlie Wilson, how he uses his power, political and diplomatic skills to fight for military funding for Afghanistan refugees against the Russian Soviet union.

First of all I felt very sorry about Natalia because she is russian and the whole film has been nothing but stereo-typing, and evilizing the communism of the soviet union, instigating of the whole anti communism propaganda. In a not very nice way.

However the film has been smartly written, especially the witty script which I found very interesting and somehow deep meaning underneath, what I called the mens talking. It makes me realised how much I have to learn to become a true man, to bear not only ones but others responsibilities, to conquer your own fear, and at the same time bring humor to people around.

Charlie Wilson's War, a film for all those who enjoy witty conversation, bit of political history, and the fans of Tom Hanks.

One Chance

2008-06-01T14:02:00.002+09:00

So often people disbelieve anything too good to be happened. They refuse to open one's heart to adventures, to freedom, to fantasies. Thinking it may jeopardize what they already have, the safe zone.

So often these people have missed many chances, the one chance that may change their live, the one chance that they may not regret have taken.

How many chances have I missed, have you missed.

Grab this chance today, be it your desire, your ambition or your fantasy.
Before too late.

Dear God

2008-05-19T14:28:00.003+09:00

Watching news of the China earthquake makes me sad, nothing I could do to ease the pain of the victims, nothing I could do to heal the sorrow of their hearts.
Dear god, may there be mercy.

Dear God - by David Tao

random thoughts

2008-05-14T18:01:00.003+09:00

The goddness of wisdom Athena :
'The mighty god of sun, Apollo, may you lend your strength to the sleeping dragon, for it has been punished for its sin for hundred of years. '

And so the burning flame traveled through sky, set alight the olympic fire, in the names of Apollo, Athena lent her strengh and wisdom to the torch bearer.

The torch bearer set off, a destination unknown to anyone, a mysterious eden where the mighty dragon asleep, where roads are laid with golds and civilisation unmatched by any nation.

He travels day and night, crossing oceans and deserts, witness happiness and tragedies, protect with his life with attacks from Satan and Diablo. Finally he arrives to the land of sleeping dragon. ..

With the power of the burning flame the sleeping dragon awakes, determined to clash all obstacles on its way, to show all other gods her power, she roars through the sky and swing her tails where it laid deep in the west of land, her sound turned into cyclone and tails into earthquake strikes and millions died, and the quake spread to all lands. Humble citizen suffered, they prayed, but the dragon shows no sign of mercy, though she is determined to retrieve her power and glory...

a day in yokohama

2008-05-08T11:40:00.005+09:00

Last week nicole and her friends invited me to go to this orchestra concert in Yokohama which are performed by the Philharmonia Taiwan and conducted by Johannes Wildner.

I greatly admired lead violinist Nai YuanHu's performance, his 10 minutes fast peaced non-stop violin performance has captured the souls of all audiences and it is like melody from heaven. The conductor Johannes is soooo cute, we gave him a nick name 'little fatty' and we watch his stomach jumps around while he dancing his way to conduct, and in one moment his face went so red i thought he is going to have a heart attack..

Anyway we have a great time enjoying the concert and Yokohama reminds me of river Thames in London..what a beautiful place.

Lemar Obika has always been one of my favourite singer since his debut album 'Time to grow' in 2005. His tone of voice and the London flavor of R&B pop music suits right into my ear, conquering my ipod top 25 most played list for a long time.

Inside his website there are a few more other paintings which I found very interesting, although it takes abit knowledge and brain power to digest his messages.

Japan update

2008-04-09T14:37:00.012+09:00

Tokyo Life
時間過的很快. 已經在東京的第四個月. 漸漸習慣這城市的節奏, 比倫敦快一點點, 比香港慢一點點. 覺得與澳門的節奏很相近. 不同的是這裏的天空好像更藍一點, 很喜歡天晴的日子在代官山或原宿的 cafe 喝一杯 cappuccino.

漸漸在這裏找到自己喜歡的地方, 裏原宿, 表參道, 代官山都很不錯. 以前不喜歡 shopping, 但來到日本後開始喜歡上逛他們的街, 很乾淨, 優閒, 和滲透著神秘的感覺. 總覺得前面的轉角會找到驚喜.

表參道山 - omotesando hills

前幾天朋友帶我到這一條全是 hair saloon 的街, 聽說很多明星來剪頭髮. 我陪她跟她姊姊來到了這間:

Winchester Rouge Wonderland (1)

2008-03-30T09:57:00.004+09:00

"Ladiesssssssss andddddd gentlemmmmmmen! May we present you the Henry Rooooooouge!"

The rounded tent filled with people, passion filled the tent. Gentlemen shouting, their hat falls off, but they have no time to care as the red curtain ascends. Ladies stare in anxiety, searching for pride and the glimpse of hidden jealousy.

I stand at the far back, waiting for something. For what exactly I am waiting for? I don't know. Confused and lost I reach the stair to the upper circle.

"Where is Franky?" a girl was shouting, it was Jessi.

She grabbed my hand and strode through the now over excited crowd, we reached the edge of the circle, and Jessi left with the mission of finding Franky. I looked around and found couples talking, laughing, with wines glasses clinking. The red curtain has now fully ascended with the bonbon girls swinging their legs high, musicians exercising every bits of their souls, but people are waiting, still waiting for the real show to come. Not yet they think, the diamond is yet to come.

Tibet

2008-03-26T14:23:00.003+09:00

The independent of Tibet, freedom for the Tibetan, violent oppression from the Chinese government, these are words surrounding tv news channel and newspapers recently.

In my perspective, the Tibet turmoil has stir only political instability, and the local Tibetan will ultimately suffer from it if, for an almost impossible chance, that the Dalai Lama has succeeded.

Looking at the current status Tibet has been developing fast both in infrastructure and economic power thanks to the vast investment of Chinese government fund and domestic tourists, and if Tibet does go independent, losing economic support from the Chinese government and its surrounding diplomatic power, then Tibet will gain nothing apart from pride and the next 10 years of un-stablised society.

In what sense does the Dalai Lama has the power and ability to bring prosperity to Tibetan people and in what reasons should people believe in him to lead a country apart from the superstition of religious bewilderment.

Here I pity the so called human rights organisation in the western world, their claim and accusation of the Chinese government and the support of the Tibet independence.

Fulfilling one group of people's political desire and abandoning one regions future for prosperity is not what my understanding of human rights.

May the Tibetan people and the Chinese population will stay united and peace.

love is coming

2008-03-07T10:52:00.002+09:00

its a miracle thing. Tho sometimes it makes you stupid, embarrass, nervous, happy, surprise, and sad. It changes your soul, your heart, your attitude, your appearances, and your life.

How can any one thing be more miracle than love itself and that includes all loves, as it hinders and prejudice human history into war and blossom. It may worth to take some time to think what and whom we should love and not love, as our time and strength is so limited.

it has been a long while since I change the background music because i lost the original flash file...however without changing the text at last i changed the music.

love is coming, a song composed and performed by 杜海鵬.

Attitude of life

2008-03-03T13:03:00.002+09:00

Stop waiting until you finish school ... until you go back to school ... until you lose ten pounds ... until you gain ten pounds ... until you have kids ... until your kids leave the house ... until you start work ... until you retire ... until you get married ... until you get divorced ... until Friday night ... until Sunday morning ... until you get a new car or home ... until your car or home is paid off ... until spring, until summer ... until fall ... until winter ... until you are off welfare ... until the first or fifteenth ... until your song comes on ... until you've had a drink ... until you've sobered up ... until you die ... until you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy.

Happiness is a journey ... not a destination.

Work like you don't need money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
And dance like no one.

Yes we can, Obama.

2008-02-18T09:41:00.004+09:00

Not that it really matters me about American politics (well it actually does matter in some way) but by seeing the speeches he gave, the charisma he shown, and by imagining the first black American president does make him appears to me as the best candidate of the coming presidential election.
However upon all the reasons, I have an almost instinct feeling of him that he is a good person and one that could take trust beyond the election.

yes, that is Barack Obama.

sleepless nights...

2008-02-04T16:34:00.000+09:00

I couldn't sleep properly since I was back from London 2 weeks ago. After the discussion with my boss and colleagues about future business opportunities and I think it is the pressure of becoming success and the drive of my desire and optimism future that kept me awake. The fact that I am stuck with learning Japanese and how little I can do now also frustrate myself so much that i think it forms the majority of the pressure.

It happens before when I was applying my master degree and I set my eyes on getting 1st honour in the bachelor, I couldn't eat and sleep properly for 1 month before my final exams and its happening again now.

I guess im either a helpless total workaholic or a loser that can't bear my own pressure...but either one please let me sleep because I have work to do tomorrow! damn.

merkley and his 111??? album

Just paid usd $140 for this book titled '111???' by merkley. Featuring 111 women around himself all posed nude in their own living room/bedroom.

I found this guy on Flickr and was instantly captured by his distinctive style of photographs and ofcourse the bunch of nuded beauties that makes me really jealous of this lucky guy. I think he has a keen eyes for fashion, not to mention photographing skill and also a business mind. He has decided to sell only 111 copies of this album at the price of usd $111.

If anyone is interested you can get a copy here - http://www.flickr.com/photos/merkley/sets/72057594101614784/

sunny winter

2007-12-21T17:50:00.000+09:00

strange feeling surged when winter suddenly became sunny, not the usual groomy, cloudy and rainy sky. Atmosphere changed so as one`s heart. Church turn into temple and Buddha laughs at me, for one thing that I should follow my own path.

cigar burning, coffee getting cold. a strange christmas awaits.

photo shoot

2007-12-19T10:41:00.000+09:00

Thanks to my friend Sio who suffered a whole night of cold and empty stomach for shooting this photo series for me. I really do love it. Although we were suppose to shoot god father but instead we got something like Shenghai Tang...but it is still great anyway. Perhaps Asians are difficult to be god father. Also thanks to my lovely cousin who also suffered a sleepless and cold night.

met stacy

2007-11-26T13:30:00.000+09:00

After almost 2 years of pure internet communication, finally I met Stacy in person. A talented new artist whose works are distinctively styled with the combination of surrealism and realism, often with a heavy-hearted message behind. Especially her paintings that I like very much.

It is interesting to put face onto imagination and it turns out to be a more interesting, real and better Stacy than I imagined.

May she finds whatever she looks for in life and the stars shine upon her path.

Strength

2007-11-24T11:10:00.000+09:00

Strength is a card of courage, determination and inner might. You are in a position to deal with whatever comes your way. You have reached a position of influence and no longer need to force your beliefs upon others. You are aware of the temptations that exist, but your ability to resist them is strong. Be careful not to take advantage of your power or risk becoming abusive and destructive. Listen to your inner voice and trust your instincts.

The show must go on

2007-11-19T21:25:00.000+09:00

Life saturated, air stopped, water frozen, the world muted at this moment.

Slowing down and look around and be amazed, and its so beautiful hope that you can stay.

But keep holding on, stay strong, the show must go on...

All things beautiful

2007-11-15T13:01:00.000+09:00

"HE HAS MADE EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL IN ITS TIME.
HE HAS ALSO SET ETERNITY IN THE HEARTS OF MEN:
YET THEY CANNOT FATHOM WHAT GOD HAS DONE FROM BEGINNING TO END."

Recently there are some disturbances in my mind, disturbances which are both illusive and seductive. Forging logic to de-trail and pride to humble. Fantasy turned poison and eyes turned blind. Greed conquered one's soul and spirit struggles.
For that thing has no intention to cause harm but one has caused confusion to oneself, and that thing has turned all other things un-beautiful...

I guess I have learn how to make all things beautiful. Again.

回家了, 一直很渴望這一天. 十年來只停留了十數個月的家, 終於回來了. 這裏有熟悉的人, 陌生的地方. 好像很熟悉的朋友, 陌生的對座. 熟悉的語言, 但不再熟悉的話題. 原來這個家已經不很熟悉, 陌生的家.
剛開始的友誼面臨分離, 誘感反咬著自己. 新的旅程將要開始, 無奈這個家已變成開始熟悉的家了. 想要離開不想離開. 不爽!

China Casual Wear Expo 2007

2007-10-30T13:24:00.000+09:00

這幾天都在幫忙籌備這個中國休閒服裝博覧會, 雖然很累但其間也很 enjoy, 去看了幾場 fashion show 覺得一般般... 始終不是 top line fashion event, 不要期望太高.
在會場裏感覺到了很多的 brand 都在奮鬥, 中國的 brand 真是數不勝數, 其中很有幾個有潛質的我覺得要介紹一下. 它們是 ri&g 埃古, Jack Jones, Moda Vera, Cabean and 1873. 其中1873 是專門給 hip hop 街頭文化潮人所設計的牛仔褲, 本人覺得還不錯, 價錢不貴. 很有幸認識其創辦人發仔, 當場幫我以超低價 order 了三條 :D 有興趣可以去他們 website 看一下. www.1873crew.com

最後看了張 Shao(唔識打...) 逹的 fashion show, 有功力果然不同, 剪裁跟手工一流, 意念是西藏2007, 把冰川和沙漠, 文族顏色溶合一起, 不覺突眼之餘而有華麗感覺, 雖然設計太偏重東方剪裁, 有欠現代化 wearability... 但我覺得已經很不錯. AND 看到名模姜培林...in underwear :p

The Hitler philosophy of gardening

2007-10-11T14:49:00.000+09:00

The concept of gardening, the thought of trimming and killing plants in order for them to look pretty according to our sense of beauty is somehow to me, at one moment, similar to the theory what Hitler has suggested. The notion of destroying the un-pretty and inappropriate seems strikingly similar to the notion Hitler has killed millions of Jewish. While obviously we do not treat plants as life whom have feelings, but then who knows what Hitler was thinking and his value of human life.

* Been digging through my old websites today and found this article written 5 years ago by myself, and it still seems interesting today to debate this topic with you guys.

2007-09-07T13:13:00.001+09:00

One of the best musical I have seen. With humour, excitment, drama, exotic dance and classy jazz music all combined. One will never feel bored inside.

Carnival Festival 2007

2007-09-07T12:42:00.000+09:00

Finally, I finished the long awaited, evil, sinister, time consuming, unnecessary, boring, complicated dissertation at this moment. Such a reliefe, and Iam once again a free man :)

Thought I'll update some recent news. Been to the Carnival Festival in Nottinghill Gate a week ago, it was great fun seeing all the carribean people and dancing enjoying themsevle on the street. I feel like going to Cuba now, my two favorite things - salsa and cigars are there waiting for me.

My frds enjoying themselves, see he has learn some moves from the man above :

倫敦閒逛

2007-08-25T07:09:00.000+09:00

前天突然覺得很無聊, 還沒有適應英國的生活, 出倫敦閒逛了一天. 去了 National Gallery Museum 看到很多名畫, 印像最深刻是一幅 The judgement of Lady xxxx (忙了名字 :p) 油畫, 畫中女子雙眼被蒙上等待死刑的到來, 是無數歷史洪流中的儀生品之一. 想到戰爭的背後意圖, 伊拉克的侵略, 多少人為戰爭而死. 想起在 Izzue 買的 t-shirt 一句 slogan:

Worse peace is better than best war.

感嘆世界何時才會沒有戰爭...

之後逛到紀念品店發現了一些有趣的東西:

最後到了 The Royal Academy of Arts:

其實還帶了相機裝上黑白菲林拍了很多照片, 但怎知...沖出來是空白一片....非常失望. 應該是菲林沒裝好吧. 下次要多加小心...心血都白廢了.

很期待交論文後的歐州之旅, 那時之前要練好基本的攝影技巧才行.

A crazy summer

2007-08-20T18:26:00.000+09:00

Just been to a friend's blog and thought i'd steal her idea and do a little summary of this summer as well, for some reason I hv enjoyed a lot in this month more than any previous summer holidays ever before. Perhaps my friends are all back in Macau, HK and China and it is the friendship that really makes it enjoyable.

Glad to know some new friends this year and mr antonio is just looking so much like the macauness version of Keanu Reeves.

And some old friends which we had so much memories to share.

And to all my families and friends in UK and Macau:

Back in England

2007-08-16T13:34:00.000+09:00

下著雨的凌晨 6 點, 踏出機場呼吸一口英國的空氣. 街道與途人還是一樣憂悶, 亞洲的 crazyness 看來與這裏完全沒有關係. 經過兩個月的澳門生活, 眼前又開始覺得陌生.

眼睛的雨天空的雨在下, 心之湖開始動蕩, 一片迷霧分不清方向. 築起的提霸再露缺口, 工人們無奈的看著.

解決問題的力量不斷減弱. help!

Club Monaco

2007-08-13T22:24:00.000+09:00

最近發現了一個 fashion label - Club Monaco. 單名字已值得讚賞, 一進店就被裏面的設計吸引住. 那淺淺的顏色, 簡約的設計和不算高的價錢造就了很大吸引力. research 一下原來是美國的牌子, 難怪跟 calvin klein 有點像.

Cigars...?

2007-05-21T01:31:00.000+09:00

recently a friend of mine has introduced me to cigars. He siad "why 8 out of 10 what we perceived as successful person smoke cigars?" and that gets me thinking, because they like to show off? it looks cool? or simply because there ain't no better tabaco than cigars?

"because cigars helps you think better, it tingles your mind and it makes you feel in control of things around you."

hmm...do you believe in that? I have yet to experience the effects but maybe, i'll give it try from now.
