Lamma Island - 2

Further to the previous post, more photos I want to share here.

my dream house...( the blue one..)

The herbal land..

Lamma Island, HK

There are several outlying islands in HK. Lamma Island was the one I visited today, I could get there in 20 mins from the central business district. It's a place far away from noise and people ( comparatively fewer people ), but with peace, green and comfort. Therefore, many foreigners are living here and commuting to work by ferry everyday. This is one of my dream living place in HK as well. When you walk around Lamma, you simply feel that here's a rare place that hasn't been " polluted " or " urbanised "..fishermen are still working here, so this island is famous for its fresh and delicious seafood. A herbal land can be found here, two gentlemen in their early thirties, gave up their job in city and back to the countryside to work in farm, they said this is the life they are pursuing. Babies here, are walking with bare foot.. and smile happily.. Also, I saw hundred and thousand of doggies today...this island is full of babies and doggies...

Roses I saw when walking by...
This cute boy walked with bare foot...I had no idea why he picked up the flowers..
haha..can you see the doll at the back of the bike....alike the girl...haha
Time to back home...

Depressed

Yesterday..felt depressed
Not in the mood ...so..
didn't join the lunch gathering
didn't attend the french lesson at night ( although I was eager to know the answer of my homework )
randomly watched a movie after work ( the feeling of sitting in front row is always better than the back. )
I miss that place...miss that one...
A friend called just in time, talked a while, wanna cry after that..life is sometimes tough. . wisdom is needed.
I asked if I could take a break tomorrow.
Surprisingly, the answer was positive.

I need some fresh air...J'ai besoin de l'air...

Today...at home
Feelin better
Things are not that worse
A little break is a great gift

Spring is coming?

Is spring already in your town?I think spring visits HK now.

YSL

YSL- Yves Saint Laurent

one of the influential french fashion designer in the 20th century. In the age of 21, he became the head of the house of Christian Dior. Nevertheless,..tonight...I decided to put aside his fashion talent, but to focus on his private precious art collections that were sold/ to be sold these days in Paris.
For those interested in, here is the link to his collections and his apartment in a glance. ( If ..still want to read more.. )

Top- right: " Musical Instrument on a Table " - a cubist Picasso. I still remember my friend told me - the pioneer of cubism were Pable Picasso and Georges Braque, sometimes their paintings are difficult to distinguish due to its similarity. The paintings inspired by moments of music and literature, and all of them are in broken form. This kind of artwork played an important role in influencing European paintings and sculpture, and later in architecture.


The cubist artworks in Moma, NY..I had the great honour to see them last year.and it's the start I learnt about Picasso.


Thanks for reading this post..Goodnight!

Ondine

Occasionally, I wish to have some moment which is standing still..and keeping my mind as peaceful and calm as possible. I truely enbrace this flashy but tranquil time when listening to Liszt- Consolation no.2-3.I am moved by these pieces. The live one of No.3 by pianist Sergio Tiempo tonight was a gift and surprise, I even haven't got to know this piece when I was at the box office. Just remember that I came here for Ravel- Ondine at the very beginning. I started to realise Ravel's pieces are not always making you sleepy, when Ondine came to me, my perception had been changed. It's kind of difference from other pieces, the uniqueness is sort of overwhelming, that is totally unforgettable.

On the way home, I was not feeling very well. Maybe some mixed-feeling after the earthquake- working - week. There're still lots of uncertainities here, although I am considered to be the lucky one will not be affected, maybe just slightly, in a good way, though.. who knows, still have to get prepared anytime no matter how stable your position is. My fellow co-workers maybe get used to the comfortable and " hea " life, I can see some of them don't know how to react towards the changes. I am feeling sorry and sad to them, they don't have any emergency plan or even think of this day will come somedays. Best wishes to them.

On the other side,randomly thinking of the relationship with family, friends...and.... I would like to share more time to be with them..from the book I read recently, it's counted as perfect moments. The author devoted lots of time to his work, and barely spent time with his family and friends...when he was dying, he finally found that he missed lots of perfect moments with his beloved one. This is one of the lesson I learnt from this book.

Time flies, Eliminate the time between the idea and the act is the best to avoid regrets.
