The Weekend .

EP
====

Just a peaceful and not very special weekend .

Someone asked :
" Have you found ... you have a job ,
you have family , you have friends , you have place to live ,
you have enough to eat , you don't lack on anything ...

But in that not very particular one day ,
You found youself alone . totally . And you don't feel happy at all . "

Why ?!

And i've been enveloped by such gloomy .

LOVELY weekend .

=================================================


When you love someone very deep , you don't want to leave him/her .
You want to stay with him/her forever ... every single second .
Wishing to grow old together , holding hands till the day both die .

And if you're really lucky to find that someone who you don't want to
leave him/her alone .
We should learn to cherish, because we don't know what may happen
next .

Lovely video , and i am going to spend my weekend with " Sex and the City " .


:-)

The first movie .

EP
===






The NeverEnding Story is the first English movie i

My weekend .

EP
===

13 people , 26 feet , 17 pair of eyes , 8 cameras ...
We folks been to Tai O for an " adventure " --- tracking Chinese White Dolphin .

Tai O is a small fishing town located on the western side of Lantau Island .
Since parts of the island facing the South China Sea , and

Chinese White dolphins like to haunts in that sea area .
Which became one of the attraction to the tourists as well as local residents .
Other traditional parts which attracted tons of tourists every day
are the stilt houses , waterway boat trip and heritages on this small island .

i was searching info on internet about Tai O few days ago ,
From Wikipedia , Tai O was once occupied shortly by Portuguese during
Battle of Tamao ... Which suprised me a bit .

No doubt that this " Venice of Hong Kong " is a best place to visit during
weekend ... tho we haven't saw any dolphins at the end and chased by
the HK Marine because of the boat we took was overloaded .

i had a lovely weekend ~

Have a beautiful weekend .

EP

Little People .

EP
===

Stumbled upon this book in a book store when on my way to
yoga class last night . It reminded me a movie named " Small Soldiers "

Slinkachu, a street-artist who leave those
little people on the bustle street to fend for themselves,
waiting to be discovered .

Even they are just some little figurines, Somehow it convey
our own fears inside on being lost and vulnerable in a big city ,
we all are very little in the city , in this world ....

A place to escape .

EP
===

If i can go to one place on this world right now for a short escape .
To stay away from all the hassles i am facing and have to face ...
OR
Simply just to spend Winter time ...

Finland ... would be my first choice .

Because ...
Santa Claus lives there ...
Want to try skating on icy lake ...
No one knows me in Finland ...
Want to make tons of snow angels ...
Maybe i can learn Finnish ...
Enjoy cottage life by a lake ...
Want to try all the Finnish pastries ....
Running on snow ( barely naked ) than jump into a hot tub ...
That's no hurry ....
That's no hocus pocus nonsenses ...

Longing for a hug .

EP
===

A bit grumpy and get up at the wrong side of the bed today .
actually starting from dusk on yesterday ...
without any special reason .
Longing for a hug , a very tight hug and tell me everything
will be fine and alright .

Or just hug me tight and say nothing .

The atmosphere and " rules " in my workplace drive me
crazy sometime ...
You have tons of way to choose going from Point A to Point B ..
just don't understand why they only use method No.1 for million years ...
Without thinking other possible solutions ... ( smartly ) .
People are nice but sometime too " nice and generous " will slamp the
whole thing .

Gossips and rumors kills you like a femme fatale , you won't even noticed .

Gift / Wish list ( 5 ) .

EP

i have a set of " vastly " coffee machine at home ,
and it create tons of fuss , mess , hassle etc when making just
ONE cup of coffee .
A Chemex coffee dripping device would be the cleanest .
So that i can brew a simple cup of coffee every morning .

Without bore tidy up afterward .

8 Foods that fight FAT .

EP
===





Came across this article today ,
It says the below 8 foods can help on fighting FAT :

1.) Almonds
2.) Berries
3.) Cinnamon
4.) Mustard
5.) Oranges
6.) Soybeans
7.) Sweet potatoes
8.) Swiss Cheese

Besides " sweet potatoes & oranges " which i am not that fond of .
i guess i will crave myself into the orders .
And ...
this article reminded me a teacher who once shared with us the
biggest secret on " weight lossing " :
" Is to think of every food that you're going to put into your month
is good to your body ... even the very fatty dary chocolate cake with truffle "

Are we all African ?

EP
===








National Genographic is running a project by collecting
DNA contributed by hundreds of thousands of people from around
the world. , in order to find out humankind's ancient migration stories.
And most of the DNA studies suggest that all humans today descend from a
group of African ancestors who—about 60,000 years ago—began
the remarkable journey.

So ... are we all African OR we're all the same ?

The Portuguese of Hawaii

HP
####

Today, there are many cultures in Hawaii that represent the island's rich cultural heritage. One of these ethnicities include the Portuguese.

The Portuguese brought the ukulele to Hawaii. This guitar-like instrument, the ukulele, is still used today. And even recreational games such as the Horse shoe.




They also brought Portuguese bean soup ( which my dad loves it with pieces of bread in it ) and other delicious treats such as, sweet bread malasadas and chouriço or linguiça. All of these scrumptious foods are still chosen today for meals and snacks.



Today, the Portuguese understand that there is an importance to preserve the Portuguese culture. This has marked a new trend among the Portuguese as a renewal of their ethnic culture. They want to keep their culture alive by separating it from the Caucasian culture.
