Taiwanese beef noodles in HK

Ah Lun is a beef lover, and of course he loves Taiwanese beef noodles. After Master So has introduced this shop in the TV program, we decided to visit the shop for a trial even though it's scoring in Open Rice is very low.
The food is really so-so, the beef soup was not rich enough. This is totally not authentic.
The best part is we can just park our car outside the shop. :) He loves beef but not any so-call "beef jerky" (ticket for illegal parking)
When we are about to leave Central, we saw the sky turning orange and pink. Ah Lun decided to go to Sheung Wan water promenade to take a couple of shots. But the traffic was so jammed, and we could only see the last bit of sunset after all those traffic light stops.
There were a couple of uncles taking photos there, and I started to chat with one. He showed me his great picture of the sunset. Interestingly, he was shooting close up of the sun, and lucky him, he got a plane flying in front of his photo. How wonderful.

Minnie Mouse & Meiling

Never been a fan of Mickey and Minnie in my whole life, but it is fate that i have a very close connection with Minnie.
In BFFs' actionary game, I acted as a Minnie mouse. After so many years, I have bought an ASOP vest online. Wearing this vest has turned me into a Minnie mouse. What a coincidence, colleague Cat has got a Minnie mouse mug!! What a funny photo. The pointed toes facing the sky is key, but it is not well captured in this photo.

阿嫲好玩得

阿倫成日都同阿嫲講笑,今晚嫲嫲又好高興同我地玩影相。平時阿嫲好憎影相,今次真係好難得!

昨晚我地送阿嫲返屋企,佢又成日扮識揸車,問:我地係唔係行青衣南橋返呀?因為這個係必然的,於是阿倫就話唔係呀,行東橋呀!(註:青衣只有南橋及北橋)
由於嫲嫲耳仔唔好,佢聽唔到,我地入左南橋就話呢條係東橋。於是後座嫲一面自言自語講南橋,我哋前座一路話很東橋,最尾阿倫仲吹到無雷公咁遠,話我哋行「thank you」㖭!笑死人!!

其實千祈唔好當佢地老,同佢地開玩笑,佢地仲開心。今晚嫲嫲食好多,應該係開心啦。

By the way, 今日就係JB100天生日。

Rubber Stamp

It's a relaxing day staying at home. So I just decided to make a rubber stamp of Kailan. It took me an hour to finish. It's an artwork which needs high level of concentration. I even did not bother to say good bye to Ah Lun as he is leaving home for work. I tried to show the art work to Kailan and she started to cry. It's hard for her to believe she is not the only dog in the house. Single child always get spoiled!!!
getting started 
pencil draft vs final product
i do love the raw feeling of the stamp
i showed Kailan the stamp, and she started crying. 
Let's comfort her! 

Inspiration for everyone

一根釘子
有一個小男孩,脾氣很壞,喜歡罵人、
說髒話、講狠話,已經成了生活習慣。
有一天,他爸爸給了他一袋釘子,
要求他說:「你每次想發脾氣開口罵人的時候,
就把一根釘子釘到籬笆上去。」

第一天,這位暴躁的男孩總共釘上了95根釘子。
第二天,這位暴躁的男孩總共釘上了80根釘子。
第三天,這位暴躁的男孩總共釘上了63根釘子。
第四天,這位暴躁的男孩總共釘上了42根釘子。
第五天,這位暴躁的男孩總共釘上了20根釘子。
第六天,這位暴躁的男孩總共釘上了31根釘子。
第七天,這位暴躁的男孩總共釘上了18根釘子。
第八天,………

慢慢地每天釘上去的數量愈來愈少了。

後來,他已經能夠控制自已不發脾氣了,
可以不必再釘釘子了。
於是他把那袋剩下的釘子拿去還給爸爸。

他爸爸反過來要求他:
「從現在開始,每次當你能夠自我控制住,
把罵人的話吞回肚子去的時候,
就可以把一根釘子從籬笆上拔出來。」

幾天過去,
小男孩告訴爸爸,所有的釘子都拔出來了。
於是爸爸牽著兒子的手一起去看籬笆。
爸爸說:「兒子,你做得很好!
顯然你已經能控制自己的脾氣了。
可是你看看這些籬笆上的洞,千瘡百孔,
籬笆已經不是原來的樣子了。」

「你要知道,只要你一發脾氣,就傷了人。
不管事後怎麼彌補,都還是會留下疤痕的,
看哪!就像這籬笆現在的樣子。
當你對人發脾氣,不管事後說多少次對不起,
疤痕都還是會在那裡。
苦毒、咒罵、忌妒的言語,
就像磨利的刀、比準的箭,一旦發出,非常傷人。
即使事後澄清是「說者無心」,但傷害已經造成。
所以下次,當想說一些會讓自己後悔的話時,
記住!控制脾氣。 」

人與人之間常常因為一些彼此無法釋懷的堅持,
而造成永遠的傷害。
值得我們去深思!

Cutie BBQ Pit

Just found this flower BBQ pit in the country park. That's kind of cute to do BBQ on a flower. Hope we can come back for BBQ in winter time.

不一樣的回覆

這是值得記下的回覆。
這個技倆並不是第一次用。

我還記得嗰一次......
我剪了短髮,我問他喜愛長髮還是短髮 
(註:當然剪髮都是我自己的事,不過剪了還是問問他的意見)
他回答道:禿頭,我最愛

於是兩人又在地鐵內笑得人仰馬翻。
現在寫著寫著,我還在笑,因為這個回答帶來的想像空間太大了。
