From place to place

I was still studying in London when I put my last post in this blog. I am now in Hong Kong again, and I focus more on another blog (www.whateversmiles.blogspot.com). But, I am happy that some people are still interested in this blog :)

Million thanks for your sincere support. I hope it will be a good start in 2013, keep fingers crossed.

And I wish you all the best from Hong Kong.

I am so nervous on my final project in London...So, let's eat more!! A large dish of curry chicken rice, 2 big bowl of misu soup. I am try to cut my biscuit...I ate too much biscuit in front of my sketchbook :D

If I am going to do a book, what will you expect to see? I look forward to your sharing :)

From nature

I was happy to see Salim Patel's stone collection at a farmer's market. It was my 1st time to look at stones carefully, observing their colors and pattern. And I found very nice painting on the stones, which is a gift from nature.

Meal log

I'd try to recycle every tiny piece of paper at home.

Let me record my meals on those paper.

Daily travel

My last design company located in Hong Kong Island, which is 1.5 hour journey from my home. Boss questioned if I can travel for a long distance everyday. I replied that I will enjoy it cos' I can brainstorm on my design projects in my journey. Finally...I did not.

I enjoyed different journeys from office to home: 1) Sheungwan > IFC > Central Pier > Enjoy night view on ferry > Tsimshatsui > Reading at design bookshop > Browsing at gadget shops > sleep on bus > dinner......or 2) Sheungwan > Street food > MTR to Tsimshatsui > browsing at boutique > visiting exhibitions at Cultural Centre > Buying magazine or getting freepaper > MTR to Taipo > Reading > Walking at riverside > Dinner.....or 3)........

I have flexible journey everyday~

Lam Village

My mum and grandmother grew up in Lam Village. We visited this little village frequently before my grandmother has passed away. Grandma's house was surrounded by banana trees, and flowers which I could make my rings. I played alone at the balcony, and the bubble water was made with grandma's detergent which I appreciated most at her home!

I love the butter-mint candies at the cupboard...maybe they were bought by Aunt/Uncle at Marks & Spencer in London. Mum and grandma did not appreciate the wishing tree near their house. They wondered how it became a wishing tree, as it has been playing a role of 'protector' in the village. All of us liked the guava tree in front of the house although it was dying and only one guava hanging on the branch...we all were not allowed to pick it.

Lam Village is now a famous tourist spot in HK, due to the fame of wishing tree. However, it is never our favorite place again since it is crowed with visitors and houses...

I am glad to visit Ma Shi Po, which reminded me the old scene of Lam Village. I hope the natural environment can be remained in HK.
