Tribute to Dr 季羨林

I was deeply touched by his book "牛棚雜憶" many years ago. My tears were just zipped through different chapters of the book. Since then he has been one of the most adorable authors in my heart.

Welcoming a Day by kissing our nature!

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

How delightful it is to welcome a day's coming by embracing this beautiful nature.

This morning, just at the break of the day, I got up and started a new day with jogging along the Shing Mum River. It's so nice to run in the dim light, feeling the sunlight getting stronger and brighter gradually. Then I wish I could have a pair of wings-fluttering so freely in the sky!

As beautiful as it may be

Time ceases to flow

I say a prayer for you

wishing you could share these with me...

Kowloon Park

........................................................................................................................................................................

One day, when I was taking a relaxing afternoon walk in Kowloon Park, I took some photos of this summer green. Sometimes I'd let my eyes gaze at this pool of green leaves and let my heart take in this most soothing summer scents...

Many people have come here in that late afternoon too. Some jog, some have fun with their lovely dogs, some kids are running around while some others are simply enjoying their slow walks. The air is just filled wihh warmth, relaxation and happiness. How precious it is to enjoy this kind of simple happiness! How I wish this kind of bliss would last forever!

Macau

Can you hear my heart?

It is artistic. It is truly picturesque. That is what I felt when I visited Macau last time. What made it more special was the lady on the boat, spreading her peaceful voice along and over the river...

A beautiful and enchanting song!

Music is beautiful. Music is soothing and refreshing. Music is moving. Music can touch our heartstrings. Music is simply enchanting...

I Would Be True" by Howard A. Walter, 1917
I would be true, for there are those who trust me;
I would be pure, for there are those who care;
I would be strong, for there is much to suffer;
I would be brave, for there is much to dare.
I would be friend of all-the foe, the friendless;
I would be giving, and forget the gift;
I would be humble, for I know my weakness;
I would look up, and laugh, and love, and lift.
I would be faithful through each passing moment;
I would be constantly in touch with God;
I would be strong to follow where He leads me;
I would have faith to keep the path Christ trod.
Who is so low that I am not his brother?
Who is so high that I've no path to him?
Who is so poor I may not feel his hunger?
Who is so rich I may not pity him?
Who is so hurt I may not know his heartache?
Who sings for joy my heart may never share?
Who in God's heav'n has passed beyond my vision?
Who to hell's depths where I may never fare?
May none, then, call on me for understanding,
May none, then, turn to me for help in pain,
And drain alone his bitter cup of sorrow,
Or find he knocks upon my heart in vain.

A beautiful and delightful painting!

Travel Delight=Japan

Somewhere in Hong Kong...

In this fast-moving city, sometimes I'm feeling a bit frustrated when things don't go as planned or expected...

But only with cloudy days dose sunshine look brighter. Only after summer showers does the rainbow look especially refresh. Only with sweat, toil and sometimes tears does the applause really sound. Only with some lost you may realize something is so precious in the very place of your heart...

Smile, as you aren't alone...

"Never will I leave you;

never will I forsake you." Hebrews 13:5b

2008 Christmas in Dubai!

Dubai is really a beautiful city with so many beautiful buildings and open spaces to be embraced. Although I didn't have much time to visit many places, I was so cherished by the opportunity to experience the nourishment and inspiration from such a different culture.

Leaves

Thanks so much for my dear friend's special gift-one that with two beautiful leaves from her trip in Canada!

In the past, I regarded her as my teacher...but it just came to our mind that we've somehow developed a friendship with shared thoughts and inspiration...

Thank you, forever my dear teacher and dear friend in my mind, in my heart...

My Drawing ^ ^

This little note was drawn while I was waiting alone for the returning flight in the airport. I just couldn't help making this little note for the places I have been, for the inspiration that I've got from the serenity of natural beauty and charm!

Europe has always been one of my favourites. It's a place wherever you open your eyes, the beauty of arts, nature and spectacular buildings will all be captured. After I arrived, I was not used to the cold and thrilling weather at first, but gradually I enjoyed everything there- the trees, mountains, rivers, windmills, countryside, architecture, bridges, little houses, seasonal firework, coffee, ice-cream and especially the fresh mountain air are always my delightful memories of this Europe trip!

A beautiful Goodbye!

Life is so much about goodbyes....

I have had a farewell with a dear friend recently...

It just reminds me of how many fond memories and inspiring moments that we've had in our life.

So here is my sincere blessings to my dear friends-you all mean so much to me.-may your days be filled with lots of laughter, warmth and delight!

Underwater World Creatures

How I love these pictures of under water creatures! I took these pictures in an aquarium in Tokyo. Their colours and shapes are wonderful and ever-changing but their beauty is simply everlasting in my mind! I enjoy looking at them so much---soothing, amazing and refreshing! So simply enjoy what this amzaing nature can offer!

The Sky Beauty

These stunning pictures of sky were taken when I was having my flight to Tokyo several years ago. It is something that I've never seen before....It's so pure.... In silence, the blue sky changed into different shapes with its most glamorous white dress with every second passing by. Such a beautiful creation simply reminded me of fresh spring and air that sent hopes and warmth to everyone. It's so great to be alive!
No matter what I've encountered in my life, never should I miss the beauty and hopes from the sky...

In fond memories of my father!

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

Family is very important for one's life. I'm proud to have a loving and great dad. I thank my dad for the care and love implanted in my life. He was a nature lover who always enjoyed the company of animals and beautiful scenery. When he had time, he would take me to the nearby parks . I remembered those sweet times that I loved to play with the soil and rocks and sometimes I even buried my wishes under the soil.

I also respect my dad for his responsibility for his work and the attitudes he had shown. He needed to wake up as early as 5 o'clock in the morning. Even though my dad was a traditional person who always tended to hide his feelings, he always remembered to return to kiss me gently on my sleepy face before he went for work. It was something to melt my heart even when I was just a little girl. I could feel the warmth and care from my dad. It was through his love that made my hearts grow more fondly. This is one of the sweetest memories my dear dad gave me. He never lost his temper towards his little girl. He's done all he could to support our education. He showed his love and tender to us by his actual act.

Even now, when I encounter difficulties like having some disappointing misunderstanding, I will always recall the great teachings from our dear dad and soon will be able to regain faith to overcome any challenges faced. Yes my dear dad is all my sweet memories in childhood...

You were Born to be Loved

A beautiful song:You were born to be loved

You are born to be loved.
And you are receiving that love through your life.
You are born to be loved.
And you are receiving that love through your life.
The love from God that started since the beginning of your birth
Becomes connected with us meeting each other
Because of your existence on the earth
We have a great joy among us
You are born to be loved.
And you are receiving that love through your life.
You are born to be loved.
And you are receiving that love through your life.
And you are receiving that love through your life.

Moonlight Sonata

We always love the moon for the gentle and warm lights it brings to our silent and cool night. Moon bathing is something that we can enjoy always-having the moon's blessings and her glittering showers in the darkness. Sometimes the white moon may just stir up so many our good dreams in the wind.... and my dear moon, please bring our tender thoughts and sweet blessings to our dear ones...

My heart was brimming with the beautiful music of "moonlight Sonata" by Beethoven while I was making this little sandy plant. The story behind the music is so touching, sending us into a beautiful picture of love.

Family...

In Revelation 21: 4

"He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."

Years ago on January 16, my big brother, mum and a great aunt (who I treat as my mum as well) had one of their most important days. They were baptized. My second brother also brought along his Church's priest and friends to witness this sacred occasion. It truly brought tears to my eyes.

My mum is a loving, thoughtful and understanding mum. Now she's retired. She's having a relaxed life in which she enjoys herself by watching Chrisitan TV, cooking endless and extremely wondeful dishes, doing some shopping and walking in the gardens and hills! Since mum believed in God these few years, she's even happier and more delighted. She always prays for us. She's such a faithful mum. I love you, my dear mum! May health and happiness be always with you!

My aunt was also baptized on the same day. She's just turned to her seventies now. She's as dear as my mum and as amiable as a great friend. I treat her as my mum and my best friend at the same time. We'd once lived together for four years. Those were one of my sweetest memories I've ever had. We went hiking together, we had endless sharing till midnight, we took good care of our little pets and plants, we shared so many seasonal festival delightfully...I feel so blessed to have her in my life. Even though she's migrated to another country , I always miss her. I'll always carry those special memories of her with me. Thanks for sharing so many nice times with my mum and me such as going to church, hiking, shopping, walking in the gardens and even traveling.

Thank you, my dear family!

My First Made New York Cheese Cake

So glad that I can enjoy cooking! I learnt how to cook this New York Cheese Cake in Chocco Bakery Shop. After that I've made three cakes for my family and friends. It was written "God loves my dear father, mother, big brother, second brother and me" on the one for my family! How true it is! Thanks for sharing my joy and especially eating all the cakes^^
