One Chance

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

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

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



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



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.

北海道

It was my first time to visit Hokkaido and Sapporo last Friday, I wasn't expecting anything exciting because I was traveling with my colleagues and was there only for weekend. Seafoods was nice and so as Onsen.

However I do have surprise.
and I think I will go again to retrieve something I left there...

The women complication (2)

Almost 1 year ago (my blog has been almost 1 year..! time flies) I have a post about an unknown painting featuring 5 women representing 5 nation's political situation. Recently I finally found the name of the artist and painting:

Beijing 2008 - by Lui Liu

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

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:
Acquas - Hair saloon


大江戶溫泉物語 - Oedo Ozan



千葉 Mother Farm - 日本太鼓演湊
伴著背景裏的群山, 日落, 和櫻花...
