Do it

"Whatever you do will be insignificant,  but it is very important that you do it." Mahatma Gandhi 

I was working on a sold out musical many years ago, one of my responsibilities was to cue the band at the musical pit, to make sure all musicians were presence few minutes before the show start. At that time I thought it's a too easy task for me. Then, on one of the matinees I was late and missed the beginning of the show and was unable to reach anyone on the production because there were no reception in the theatre. Later I found out the musicians were expecting to see me there even though the know it's time to start the show.

Maybe this is an unusual example but it is easy to feel what we do is mundane, repetitive and not as important as it seems. Like keeping up with the exercise, drinking enough water, making the bed every morning, saying 'hi' to colleagues in the morning, expressing our love and etc. If you zoom out and look at the bigger picture, all these little tasks do contribute to a beautiful pictures. So, do not let you mind sink into the chores mode instead be inspired and enjoy what you do to continue creating your unique picture.

想

人與人之間 有時

捨不得那(已培養出來的)熟悉感
一種開始習慣的味道

想靠近那吸引人的新鮮感
一個未知無限可能的畫面

卡在半途 迷惑

這美麗的顏色有沒有前途
這迷人的風景會不會消失

我流連走不出來
我懼怕走了不再 有顏色

(還有更多顏色等待我塗上)
把彩色存起來, 尋找更多燦爛

成都

成都位于中国中西部，是四川省省會，位於四川省中心地帶，四川盆地的西部。屬內陸地帶，因为是盆地的关系夏天特别闷热，热气歇留不去。我们在八月初抵达，这是第一站，计划从这个城市去我们的梦想之地 - 西藏。我们前后只在这个城市逗留三个晚上。

成都是一个很商业的城市，也是一个有名的中转站。最热门的几个景点包括九寨沟、峨嵋山、海螺沟、四姑娘山，还有在飞机上遇到友善的成都人推荐的青城山和都江堰。

成都市的旅游景点就比较商业，如杜甫草堂、武侯祠和熊猫基地等等。

四川闻名的麻辣菜是这里的主食口味，可是对不习惯辣的人还是得比较小心，免得拉肚子。听说因为天气闷热，吃辣帮助排汗，这样身体会比较舒服。这个说法得亲身经历才知道喜好。

这里的人都习惯喝花茶，讲究的泡茶技巧和那一阵阵薄薄的茉莉花香，有一定的生活品位。

照片里的是豆腐花、凉粉和手抄面。没想到连点心都一样麻辣！






在武侯祠外面是一个很热闹的街市场，有吃的、玩的、和传统工艺品买，值得一提的是这里还保留了很多传统的手工艺品。

这是其中一个买小食的摊子，‘辣’当然是重点口味。

粤语称 ‘面粉公仔’ 的现代版，很鲜艳漂亮的小玩意儿。

手工精细的皮影人物，很精细也买很高价。

手工拉糖，拉出很多很复杂的图案。

把心愿写下，希望永远在。

在一个台楼上挂满了养眼红包封，装满了世人的期盼和祝福，看了让人很窝心。

虽然这里也是中国有名的城市，这里的人却很友善、朴实。这三姐妹在嬉戏，看见我们拍照更开心的闹的哈哈笑。

在这匆忙的几天感受了成都独有的文化和氛围，因为选择了去松潘所以没去到九寨沟和峨嵋山，我一定会回来的。

2014

It is THE new year 2014!  

Everyone everywhere wishes everyone Happy New Year!

The celebration style might vary from one place to another. A thought came to mind, if I am living in Tibet and do not have a calender, this day will be the same as others. What does new year means to you? 

In the more civilize society it is a marker for people to reflect and check what they have achieved in the past year. Company will look at the journal and reward diligent staff with bonuses, parents reward their children if they behaved well, on the personal level individual will self check whether they have achieved their goals and maybe set more challenging goals for this year. 

I used to work in television production once, we worked on days and on nights, having breaks when others normal nine to five people were working, so it was really hard to meet up with friends and family, we had no choice but to hang out with our co-worker. The lifestyle were pretty seclusive. However I worked so much the work we had achieved were incredible and rather fulfilling.

My point is, it is quite exciting to return to the top of the calender cycle, we should just spend everyday as precious as it is. Really, you only live one, spend every second wisely. 

I think this is a good year to visit Vanuatu and Maldives! Woot woot!

New Year Eve

A new year is approaching while bidding farewell on the last half an hour of 2013.

What are you thinking at this moment? The past year? Checking and reflecting how much of your plan work on the past year? Thinking forward, marching in the new year already? No matter where you are at, take a deep breath and get ready to welcome the new year. It left half an hour to the new year on my time zone. One of the best fireworks celebration is going to happen! Breaking into the brand new year in complete boldness. 

Let's make this short and sweet, I would like to wish all of you who are reading this a wonderful year filled with love, happiness and freedom. Pray truthfully for the less fortunate to have an improving life everyday in 2014. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

Christmas Eve

It's the 24 December!

For some reason it always feels more exciting on the leading up day, the eve. It's the hope of fun and happiness and surprises and a tinge of mysteriousness that gets people excited about. Getting ready for the best time to pour all over us.

I had been working on the Christmas event months before December, it felt a bit distanced from the actual festive but the fun were there. It's awesome to celebrate on normal days.

This year Christmas has been a wonderful festive season for me. It was filled with family & friends get together, Christmas luncheon, dinner, laughter and accompanied with unexpected fun presents. Feel really blessed.

I am Looking forward to a better and wonderful new year to come! Wishing everyone Happy Christmas and a fantastic New Year.

Holidays Reading List

While counting down for Santa to arrive or holidays break, have you work out how to spend your holidays? Going overseas or not going anywhere doesn't really matter, make sure you have some fun and some quality time for yourself.

I will be spending my holiday under hot summer weather, so beach time with friends and a couple of drinks sounds like a perfect plan for me. Nevertheless, a good reading plan will make my holidays more meaningful. If you are a bookworm like me, here is a list I would like to share with you. It doesn't really matter what age group you fall under, I think these are some fun read.

Don't we all want to live our best in life, get some great inspirations from this bite size, well written book by Alan D. Thompson a professional life coach, the book is called Best - A Practical Guide to Living Your Best.  

I picked up this book The Secret Life of Pronouns by James W. Pennebaker, while shopping for other books, the title is very interesting, can't wait to find out how words play a big part in our daily life.

The Happiness Project was a beautiful encounter while I was looking at other stuff during my lunch break, it happens to resonates a lot with what I was getting through and has a lot of handy tips.

Photography for the joy of it is a book loan from a friend, it will be a good book to read in the afternoon with a cuppa and pick up some new skills about photography.

Welcome to share with me your reading list and also welcome to check out my reading list, hope they will bring you great joy.

Happy holidays and enjoy reading!
