- Drawing - [ Grow in experience ]

You always get the best piece from your first drawing (always done when you're doodling).

When you want to 100% imitate it later again by copying , you will never succeed. That's what I realized from drawing.....and the harder you try , the less likely you can do it.

So just feel free when you're drawing , don't push yourself too hard, it's not a task ,but a time to relax.

[ 成長,需要一點點經歷]
(Grow in experience)

I tried to imitate my doodling...but failed .
At last , I just coloured my sketch on a rough paper with many words underneath.

- LIFE - (Merry Christmas)

Here has been neglected by me for such a long time.

Always hard to get something started.

A belated Merry Christmas to all . And most importantly the birthday of my beloved Jesus Christ.

Having not enough space for a real christmas tree , a fake one has been replaced instead ,with this recycled indexfinger-tall extra virgin olive oil 'vase'.

I have been longing for a pair of this glasses for a long time. And I just got it for free at detour, what a weird but interesting experience to me.

What a nice place for dessert at Christmas Eve.

If a name should be given to this delicious thing, I would call it galette.
But I can tell you that it's definitely not the formal galette as I could never follow the recipes successfully. Rather, I make things my way, with the ingredients that I like.
tomatoes, lettuce, tuna, cheddar cheese...lovely!!

- Trip to Tai O -

wow, it has been almost a month since my last post! Time to update a bit at least .



It's nice to get away from the urban area and be close to the nature for a while .
Thanks God, with the wonderful weather and the people I love .






I just couldn't help stopping for a sec and touching the beautiful woods before I could take my eyes off them .
If there's a subject called The Aesthetics of Wood in University, I will definitely take it .





I wondered how they feel at that moment as they seemed to have a lot of thinking in their minds .

I should find another day to climb up that hill as I haven't gone hiking for such a long time and I really feel like doing it now!

I love the smell of the purple rose tea .

And I feel relaxed after having a sip of that tea too .

- Film -

I watched Never Let Me Go actually because of Carey Mulligan . I knew her from An Education ; and she's fabulous in that film .


What impressed me the most of this film is her friendship with Ruth ( i.e. Keira Knightley). I remember when I watched this film , I strongly felt YOUR WORDS to me .
A little drawing of a scene of this film .

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

The other film I've recently watched is Once which I've been wanting to watch for such a long time . Musical films are always my favourite or at least films with good background musics as music really helps a film a lot !

Everytime when I listen to the music again by chance , I am flooded with memories of the time when I watched that film .
It would just be even more fabulous if the movie stars composed and performed the music by themselves! And that is it for this film .

- Taste & Reading-

BREAD-MAKING TIME AGAIN !

They are actually french minute buns , but with hams&cheese and garlic&hams&mixed herbs on it respectively.

More and more herbs and garlics should be put next time .

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

At the moment I'm reading a book called Candy by Mian Mian . Just randomly picked it from the school library .

I don't know the author actually but it seems that she is an author with gut I think . She is a Chinese writer and writing something about China politically or sensitive subjects like drugs ,sex was and is still virtually taboo in China . This book was once banned by the Chinese authorities when it's first published in 2000 .

I've read a line from the book today that I've been hearing the whole time , saying "Chinese marriages can withstand hardship and disaster , but they can't survive the good times ."

Umm , I think it's right to a certain extent , I do think that people may change (not in a good way) once there's something BIG suddenly happened in their lives ,like being rich or famous .

So that's why I think being content with what you possess now is very very important and should bear it in our minds forever.

Tailor-made card covers for my newly arrived buddies .
That's a really great experience to me . I feel so good to try new things .

I think the best way to come closer to the nature is to live with it . Feel it . Touch it . Smell it . No fear .




。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
This piece of necklace is made of real tree branch . I've been thinking of making things using the resources from the nature for a long time .
I naively thought that it'll just make my dream of living with the nature come true .

I love the old tabacco tin boxes so much . Containers and tools are fascinating to me .

p.s. I want to read books.

This kind of rice is like risotto, chewy texture. But I don't think you can buy it in Hong Kong.
With fresh tomatoes , tomato sauce , red pepepr and salmon steak .
There's still room for improvement but I loved the cooking process of rice .


Lazy cold noodle for summer . I love this kind of cream flavoured noodles , chewy again . I'm really into the chewy food .

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Summer slipped away in silence .
I loved this summer , I enjoyed it so much .

Although I didn't have a chance to leave this summer , I appreciate what You've given me so far .

I experienced You a lot this summer . I am eagerly waiting for your future plans on me .

Try .

I love the smell of lemon .
I love the freshness of lemon .
I love the cleanliness of lemon .



A lemonmint that I bought the other day when I visited the Flower Market .
A strong lemon scent stays on my fingers when I slightly rub the leaves.

Two more HOME safety pins .

(I would love to give them to my newly arrived friends , just make HK as your HOME now ^^)

- Cooking -

This is my second time teaching others how to make dessert .
Thanks God it's quite successful . (Although I've never ever made fruit tart before) .

I felt good to have a bigger place for me to make dessert as there's not much space at my home .



Putting the melted chocolate over the tart base and then refrigerated it .



A bit overheated bread pudding but it just tasted better with that crispy top .




We made it too thin for the tart base . But the colour is nice after coating some egg souce on it .



Yum Yum !!

(Due to the limited time, I just bought the existing cream instead of making the cream by ourselves)

- My yearning --- Home -

Home means a lot to me .

At my home , I can stop and think .

create and make .

find my real self and consolation .

My treasures are all here .

It's my comfort zone where I can seek support and back up .

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

I do have many yearnings towards my future HOME .

It should be like this , it should be like that ...

It would be better with this , it would be even better with that ...

[ But now , I feel a bit depressed by watching the TV programs which keep telling me the reality that the ever-rising land rent in Hong Kong . Some professionals like accountants and lawyers even have to rent the subdivided flats (which is deemed to be dangerous and have a high tendency to cause the outbreak of fire) in order to save more money to buy an apartment in Hong Kong . ]

I'm still longing for my future Home . Won't be let down by this fact .

I know YOU've your own plan on me . I don't have to worry about anything which seems to be unexpectable to me.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

P. S . Also , I really enjoy watching Japanese mums taking care of their children . That feeling .

Owls are my second favourite animals , and yes , deers come the first .

Linens just give me a sense of peace and simplicity .
