蜜糖加柠檬片

My honey lemon drink. To soothe my not very sore but uncomfortable throat.

这几天喉咙有点点不舒服。不知道是不是佳节吃了太多不该吃的东西。哈~今天泡了杯蜜糖加柠檬切片。好多了。。。。。。=）喜欢蜜糖沉淀在玻璃杯里的颜色。

离新年还有四天。时间过好快呀。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。祝大家快乐2009!

This gingerbread man was a little gift from my friend's daughter. So sweet of her. =D
May everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Artboard

Was filling in the colour for this illustration when the radio played "White Christmas". So appropriate eventhough this drawing was not about Christmas.

剪剪贴贴

今天贴贴剪剪的，终于把去年到台湾的旅游照片整理进相溥里。哈哈~Procrastinated 了很久很久的事。。。用了一整天的时间一边看[08射雕英雄传]，一边整理。大功告成！

Random works

I received my book sample this week. Has been rushing a dateline which was incredibly tight . But the outcome was quite satisfying. To date, this is my favorite cover art of all time.

I drew the cover in a very short period of time ( shorter than the other I have done before) but oddly I have most fun doing it. It bought so much childhood memories. A time where I was really young and crazy about space. I would spend time drawing space and stars on my drawing board. It was good Fun.

And... ...
Rememder the Owl that I sketched a while back?


These are their final nesting "wall"
Happily in a lightbox and mounted on a wall.

黑白配

这是朋友从丽江带回来 的板栗饼。有黑芝麻的，是咸的而白芝麻的是甜的。都非常好吃。它在烤热时的香味让我想起丽江。

大卫必佳

昨晚和家人看了[大卫必佳]。
比我想象中的好看而且其中的好几幕我都非常喜欢。
０．　当然黄文鸿的精彩演出不在话下。　／　１．Welcome to Geylang 的大胆成人内容　／　２．　坚文 的出场。 他是“漂亮”的　／　３．大卫的心声　／　４．甲虫的几度夕阳红。很好听，可惜咬字不清因为甲虫妹妹是吃土豆长大的。　

有趣的是，我前面右边的位子坐了个老外。感觉上他也听得懂华语，因为有几幕他都笑开了怀。看来黄文鸿还真有号召力的。还有的是，我前面左边的位子坐了个长得超象郑展伦的先生。不过实在没勇气问：“Ｅｘｃｕｓｅ　ｍｅ，　ａｒｅ　ｙｏｕ　Ｍｒ　Ｚｈｅｎｇ，　ｔｈｅ　ｓｉｎｇｅｒ？”

我喜欢摄影师大卫 ，独白里的一段话。
大意是：人家说只要有蓝天，那就有希望。。。。。。所以他，开工前的第一张照片会是蓝天。而收工前的最后一张会留给夜空和星星们，因为每一颗星星都在努力的绽放光亮。（好像是这样解释的。）

蓝天


星海

零晨１，２点。在阿里山拍的。

Madagascar : Escape 2 Africa

Madagascar 2: Big And Chunky featuring Moto Moto and will.i.am



I got a crush on Alex the lion. Ha ha...I am " So...." going to watch this.

Blue sky holiday

Here are some more shots from my Bintan short trip. ( Ask me for my photo link if u want to see more)
Anyway this trip was quite special. It was a "group" celebration for *some of us who have reached 30 years of age this year. Most of us have known each other since primary school and that was a long long times ago..... We practically grew up together. =)

* Special thanks to Jolene, for being the organizer of this trip. Oh..... ... btw she is not 30 yet. When it comes to age, all women are sensitive. hee hee










And lastly, some food shots to go along with a good trip


We looked all over the place for some coconuts to quench our thirst.


Ayam Betutu. Surprisingly delicious. I love the side dishes.


Chicken satay done in Indonesian style.


Curry chicken was creamy and thick.


A view from our restaurant. That yacht across the horizon was the closest we can get to a sailing boat.

All about voting.

Today, I listened with great interest as BBC live broadcasted the America presidential vote. Thanks to modern technology, we can receive information live from Internet even though the time zone is so vastly different. I have to admit, I was excited over the whole event. Today will goes down in history as the day where American voted for an African American. I studied Modern American history in my school day, so it was really quite interesting to see thing unfolding itself. =)

creative public service announcements to encourage American to vote.


America is such an interesting country.

沙滩。。。。

Here a little sneak preview to my Bintan trip over the weekend. More to come when I am more rested. =) It was 6.30am + when I took these shots. There was not a single soul on the beach and I was playing David Tao 沙滩 in the back of my head. It was quite perfect.

空無一人　這片沙灘　風吹過來　冷冷海岸 我輕輕抖落鞋裡的沙　看著我的腳印 OH　一個人一步步　好寂寞　

看海有些綠 天有些藍　那段愛情有些遺憾 像不知不覺　游向海天　到最深的地方 才發現妳早已經　放棄我

我聽着海浪　溫柔的呼吸　我看著雲朵 飄來飄去　有什麼方法　讓自己真的忘記

ONLY BLUE　ONLY BLUE 愛讓人好憂鬱　我的心　我的心　藍藍地

我真的想找一條船　能遠遠離開這片沙灘 每次又回到同樣海邊　還是會對妳想念 想念妳有點 BLUE　沒有人能像妳 留給我的回憶　有點...... BLUE OH .......ONLY BLUE

falling in love

Spotted this perfume packaging in an European blogger I read . The selling tag line are so lovingly written. I wonder how is the scent like. Chocolaty? (which make people want to fall in love ) or is it as fresh as the spring and as simple as bottle design has indicated.
when it comes to love, you need not fall but rather surrender. surrender to the idea that you must love yourself before you can love another. you must absolutely trust yourself before you can absolutely trust another and most importantly you must accept your flaws before you can accept the flaws of another.

BOO!

Dear all, Have A [ bl**dy ] good time . Happy Halloween !

Vote for Hope

This is the coolest music video I have ever seen done for a presidential campaign. Its actually makes me want to vote too. =) Great pieces of propaganda.

I don't know much about the America politic but for whatever news clips I have heard and see, Barack Obama is my choice too. However, can he deliver what he preached,only time would tell ( and of coz if Americans vote for him )

Here's some information that goes with this video :
With the 2008 presidential election, Americans face a pivotal choice between not just two candidates, but two paradigms. We need someone who understands the complexity of our time. Someone who believes in investing in renewable energy, in education, in women's rights, in civil rights, in healthcare for Americans. Someone who believes in dealing with global issues with diplomacy so we can restore our respect in the world. Barack Obama represents the change we need and can lead us into a brighter future.

Vote For Hope was written to encourage and inspire the hip hop generation—and everyone—to get involved, and contribute their time, energy, creativity, and other resources to be the change they want to see in the world. We have been inspired by the artistic and musical contributions that have been pouring out accross the nation in support of Barack Obama's campaign. Vote for Hope is our offering to this creative movement. It is our way of adding our small voice to the collective voice of millions of Americans calling for a change.

"Vote for Hope" was written by M.C. Yogi and produced by Robin Livingston. The "Vote for Hope" video was created at Ursa Minor Arts and Media in San Rafael, CA with chief animator James Curtis, using designs and direction from M.C. Yogi. Video funded and supported by grassroots donations.

*Reflection

2005年的我， 在另一个部落格里留的一段感想。一个很不一样的我。现在已很少看见那个稍稍感性，稍稍风花雪月的我了。（笑）



[ December 13th, 2005 ]

昨天　看了看[针锋相对］

主题的序

[有人说，爱人比较幸福，

因为至少你掌握主动权；

有人则说，被爱比较幸福，

因为能得到别人的爱，

等同于获得别人的肯定、尊重，甚至是崇拜。

若两情无法相悦，

在爱与被爱之间，你选择哪一样？

被爱，幸福吗？]

。。。。。。。。。。。

我呢？

。。。。。。。。。。。

我不确定。。。

爱人吧　。。。。。

。。。。。。。。。。。

有趣的话题。

节目完结时

主持人引用了巴金写在[怀念萧珊]*的一段序言

我只记得。。每夜每夜

骨灰盒。。。。。。什么的。。什么的。。（哈哈哈）～忘了

字里行间透着的是对妻子的思恋　

巴金那时也有八十好几了吧？！

。。。。。。。。。。。

。。。。。。。。。。。

主持人问[那应该是爱情吗?]

。。。没人答。。。

。。。。。。。。。。。

。。。。。。。。。。。

主持人总结

[其实，爱情和幸福到了一个时候

已经完全分不清分界线了。]

。。。。。。。。。。。

。。。。。。。。。。。

我想哦　应该是

爱情和‘亲情’到了一个时候

已经完全分不清分界线了。

我向往。

亲情永远比爱情来得踏实些

可是要等爱情升华成亲情

那是需要多少在一起的时间和经历

才能到得了的？？

朋友留言：我选择去爱人。曾经读过，一个人过完一生，有什么不可以？！但是，要爱过哟！如果被爱是种奢侈的等待，何不好好去爱？

2008年

我变了。我已选择了被爱。唯一不变的是，我还是很向往和自己的另一半一起变老的心愿。（笑）

有点遗憾，找不到[怀念萧珊]的序言。想好好的看看全文。

My little black heart

A new hobbit I am trying to pick up. This is my first attempt. Kinda ugly right now but it sure is fun.

清早。

清早。阿里山的布道

刚刚读了郑斌辉的部落格。久闻他的文采不错。 今天终于把他google来看看。还真的挺impressed的。觉得他的文章很“实在”也很成熟。字里行间也透露了他个人的内涵和修养。今天从他的Ｂｌｏｇ里认识了一位新朋友。他叫Henry David Thoreau。
以下是从郑斌辉的部落格里贴来的。有意思。
“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately.
I wanted to live deep and suck up all the marrow of life
To put to rout all that was not life
And not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.”
Henry David Thoreau

喜欢最后一句。。。And not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.　不想在死的时候才发现自己没有活过。多可怕呀！最近才和老板聊起相似的话题．十多来岁时，唯一的目标就是［我要画画，我要做绘图师］我算是做到了。那接下来呢？我还在反复思考着。。。由其当我是个没什么大志，并且不希望只为金钱做事的人。（笑）

人是不能没有人生目标的。

PS: I was pouring through Leslie Cheung films lately. Got quite a "pleasant" surprise with some of the deleted scenes. Particularly , 金枝玉葉. Its totally OMG....Btw Jo if you are reading this， Have you found your 白兔仔？

Carousel

Here is a little little sneak preview of an enclosure coming your way. =)

记得那一年

１４１００８－实在不好意思，原来节目名称是［记得那一年］而不是［记得那首歌］。＝）

去年的今天，的这个时候，我在台湾。今天是双十，台湾的国庆日。 好快, 一年又要过了。这几天一直在[记得那首歌] 里，听到属于 我那个年代的歌曲。（我那个年代 = 我开始对音乐有共鸣的年代。）觉得自己好老。那些以前听的流行歌曲, 都已退去了流行，变成了绕梁金曲。 哈哈~~~omg!

hm.....我也有好多[记得那首歌] 的回忆。。。。

1989~ 小学年代
我在听张国荣。那时[倩女幽魂]只做到第二部。
和ＰｉＰｉ，Ｊａｓｏｎ常常在交换张国荣卡带。
因为一部[开心鬼]，后期的我都在听BEYOND。
还有林亿莲。

1993~~中学年代
拥有的第一张ＣＤ是BEYOND的。和 Tonic Braxton。
开始也非常喜欢Ｎｉｒｖａｎａ　和重金属（ｈｅａｖｙ　ｍｅｔａｌ）。我也在抄歌词。
ktv 开始流行。香港朋友家有KTV，超cool 的。黄家驹死的时候，大家哭得不像样(虽然我最爱黄家强）。=P 呕。。。还有忘不了的是Ｄｉｎａｈ的金典K 歌：你看你看月亮的脸。

１９９７～～打工年代
许如云＋张宇。
整个八月。。。
在ｋｔｖ里唱独角戏，唱到喉咙哑掉。那是一种发泄。。。。。
我还是在抄歌词， 虽然internet 开始入侵。

１９９７～～理工年代 (我的黑暗年代的开始）
为什么没印象？
有Dream Fm .....有陶吉吉的。。。er.....
我要好好翻翻我的CD collection 了。
有陈升。ktv 必k 的是“镜子”因为6分多钟。

太多太多了，写不完。改天再继续。

这是我疯狂爱上的第一个男人。
因为这首歌。
那时我１２岁，他３４岁。哈哈～～
现在我也３０了。他呢？永远４６。
还在的话，他应该有52了


这几个星期一直在听他的歌。And thanks to you tube. I have endless supply of his mv. 有一些还差点让我喷饭。好象这个。我是很喜欢这首歌的，只是MV真的好。。。。。。哈~~

我是透明的。

我的墙上养了只大兔子。
它是只半透明, 可爱的胖兔子
它透明,因为它还在草稿接段。
天天看到它，让我心情愉快。

看图造句。

分辩不出动物的动物饼干。好像有只小鸡在中间?


天气不好，要多喝水。小心生病。

Lucky Seven

Here are some snap shots of the Seven party. =) I am looking forward to the Omy podcast of the event. =) Didnt quite see the stolen kiss of Wen Hong. Anyway, the atmosphere was really hot and I have fun.
From my friend experience last year, We have decided to go early this year. However, we still end up in the "天涯海角“seat ( meaning right in the corner). But at the very least we were very very close to the stage , just not of the best angle. =p Oh...... there was a huge rainbow while we were queuing. Very beautiful. very lucky sight. haha

ps: 那一晚有不小心被文鸿的Never say goodbye电到。哈哈哈~期待他的大卫必佳。







Isn't it scary how time flies without one noticing it. I have listened to 1003 for 7 straight years. ( not including heart 100.3) I am quite certain part of my learning process has intertwined with them. Particularly enjoyed the talk show with the counselors. Make one realizes that there are many point of view to just 1 subject and the art of communication is an art by itself. The choice of words could change the course of an event very much.
