Day 31/365 – Jan 31st 2011

To me, birthdays are perfect chances to express the greatest love to the people you love and care about. Today, I’m invited to join the dinner to celebrate Ken and Kam’s mother’s birthday. I hope this moment of joy will linger some time in their hearts, and the feeling of love they’ve had towards each other can grow stronger and stronger each day. 🙂

Thank You for the dinner!

Hac Sa Reservoir Park

Today I brought him here to Hac Sa Reservoir Park to visit my dear uncle who works at the Tea Bar in the park. This is my first time to the reservoir, and I find out this is a very nice place to spend some time. There are pedal boats for hire and walking trails with beautiful scenery around the reservoir.

I would like to say thank you to my uncle! Thank You for being a nice and loving uncle, and being part of my life. 🙂

Day 28/365 – Jan 28th 2011

Temple

I am so impressed by the song “Enlightenment” from the movie “New Shaolin Temple”. I like the sounds of the temple bell added to the beginning of the song, which are thick and vibrant, they comfort me and make me have an intention to visit a temple.

I’m just sitting here reflecting…

Link to the song: The theme song Enlightenment

Here are the lyrics of the song with poor English translation translated by myself.

放下顛倒夢想  放下雲煙
放下空慾色  放下懸念
多一物  卻添了  太多危險
少一物  貪嗔癡  會少一點
勿生恨  點化虛空的眼
勿生怨  歡喜  不遙遠
纏繞  慾望的思念
善惡一瞬間
心懷懺悔  陪你走好每一天

無量心  生福報  無極限
無極限  生息息  愛相連
凡人卻視而不見
規矩定方圓
悟性  悟覺  悟空  心甘情願
簡簡單單  陪你走好每一天

悟

我得明白
我得反思
我才會自在

Put aside down clouds of dreams
Put aside down desire and suspense
More things – More risks
Less things – Less greed
Not to hate – See beyond the eyes
Not to blame – Joy is nearby
Let go thoughts of desire
Good and Evil are crossed in a split second
With no regrets – I walk with you every single day

No comparison – Limits are boundless
No limitation – Eternity – Love connects
(etc…I can’t be able to translate this part XD)
I simply walk with you every single day

Enlightenment

I understand
I reflect
Then, I live freely

Starbucks

While he is reading a digital book about Organic Farming, I’m reading a book about the mysteries of our deep connection to the intelligent universe in which we live. In the book, “The Human Antenna”, Dr. Robin Kelly presents how our intentions and beliefs play an important role in our well-being. Each and every single thought we have can generate a complex biochemical reaction which stimulates our cells that create a change in our health. So, if you wish for health and wellness, watch your thoughts with care! 🙂

Lucky Pocket Money

I’m helping my mother to prepare “Lai See” (gifts of money) to give at Lunar New Year, which starts on next week (next week will be the first day of the first month in Chinese calendar), February 3rd, and ends on February 17th (the 15th day).

Giving gifts of money during Lunar New Year is considered lucky for both the giver and the receiver. The envelopes you see from the picture represent the year of 2011, which is the year of the Rabbit, as red represents good luck and gold represents money and wealth. 🙂

Cineteatro Macau

It is time for a break from a long day’s work. Today, we’re watching The Borrower Arrietty (借りぐらしのアリエッティ, Karigurashi no Arrietty), a Japanese animation film produced by Studio Ghibli, at Cineteatro Macau. Phyllis is so busy with her work these days, she arrives late at the cinema, but still willing to pose for me to take this photo. Thank You! XD

I hope this animation film will help her relax a bit! 🙂

I’m thinking about getting a set of camping gear and go camping somewhere where it is very dark that I can see the band of the Milky Way stretches from one horizon to the other.

I – REALLY WANNA SEE IT > . <

This is the final modification to the painting. Since I’ve kept posting the painting on the web, it would not hold any surprise or secret for Ken anymore. ^.^

Day 17/365 – Jan 17th 2011

Fortaleza do Monte

I added the star map from SkySafari (a planetarium program installed in my Iphone) to the original photo. If the sky was dark enough, we would had seen this magnificent night sky as displayed in the picture. The faint band of light across the sky you see in the picture is the beautiful milky way. I have always wanted to see the milky way with my naked eyes. But here in Macau, light pollution means that I never have a chance.

If you can see the milky way when you look up at the sky, please let me know where the place is, someday in the future I will go there.
