Trembling
I am trembling even it's 16 degree outside. Planned to barbecue with family, but not in the mood. Sitting there just because the fire can warm me. I am not hungry, but grandma keep feeding me foods she grilled. I should have faith that there's still love around. It doesn't hurt so deep, but the truth is just too cruel...

Struggle of life...
This quote in the book -- Walden -- is really touching. Makes me cry.
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of ...life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion."

How much water, cement, sand and gravel to mix a "happy"?
After 7 months preparation, I finally landed in Kampot, Cambodia in July 2011 with over 40 volunteers. From sketch design, model building, detailed design to site work in Cambodia, we participated and built a new pre-school for 45 Cambodian children to support schooling in local.
Every day we spent some time playing and interacting with the children and guiding them to draw and paint, so as to emphasize the importance of participatory design and increase kid’s sense of belonging to the school. This is one of the objective of IDEA Project. Without any knowledge in Khmer, we communicate with the children with body language. Friendship and love came into being when we hold hands, hugged and kissed. Isn’t it the simplest way sending your regards to people around?
After 9 days working in the construction site, mixing cements, putting together the bricks, we have beautiful school buildings with every one participatory in the construction process. Standing in front of the yellow blocks, I reckoned the second meaning of building the school – people living at ease in this small village, they are grateful to what they have. I feel satisfied and happy when I was slowing the pace of living with a taste of simplicity.

Wake me up when September ends
Hope the sweetness lasts.
Should I go for a sleep now, and
please can you come and wake me up when September ends?

今天食了四餐，除了等菜和飯後傾談的時間外，
毎次真正用餐其實都不多於20分鐘，現在得撐得肚皮都破了。
在柬國的時候，午餐和晚餐都得花上２小時，
不是因為我們點了鮑參翅肚要大魚大肉，
而是當地上菜速度慢，客人自然放輕鬆去吃。
我就在想，在香港，大家有必要迫得自己這麼緊嗎－－
鑽進名氣食店，然後進店前有人跟你要求一小時後還枱；
你急不及待要點菜，再狼呑，終於趕得黆切在限時內完成壯舉。
其實把食物咀嚼多幾口，細味一下，
不但是對它存在價值的肯定，也是對自己的尊重。
生活和生存之別，不就在此？
我要放生自己，吃慢一點吧！
Whats more, 我長肉了 >.<
P.S.我聽聞過禪修中有一種訓練會在用膳時進行，
參加者每一口進食都要咀嚼三十次或以上。
就是要放鬆思想，使感覺變得更敏銳。
我應該要學習！

IDEA Project - Local Sevice
預算案還沒審批，如果現在先給你HKD1,000你會做什麼？
去逛IKEA DSC MUJI和GOD，花上幾百一千買心頭好，然後呢？
把貨品送到大宅，完成安裝，擺放穩當以後，然後呢？
玩厭了，用舊了，打壞了，就去買新的嗎？
最近我們用一千做了件傢具，送給本地小數族裔的家庭。
買米唔知米貴，原來一千元不比想像中多，
計劃好的雖然完美，但都因為預算的問題胎死腹中。
製作過程完畢，我明白到幸褔非必言，錢亦唔可以亂洗。
知足常樂！

Tenderness in life
Once I thought I could never meet sincere friends outta my social circle after being a working class, somehow I proved this as wrong. I met a group of kindhearted people always with smiley faces.
Hello buddies, nice to meet you all. This is the first time we meet each another, and I am sure there will be more to come :)

2011
做認為正確的事；爭取有價值的；生值得生的氣；不扭曲為難自己意願 －－ 是過去兩年作為一個獨立個體的微小要求。我不確定走的路；高的興；開的心；憤的怒是對是錯，但聆聽 innermost 的需求是無罪的，最少我對自己交代了。
我的2010年過得很豐盛，認識了一些新朋友，作了一些未曾想過的嘗試，得到一些機會，下了一些決定，經歷了一些轉變，全部都是在沒有想過要經歷的。偶然感到力有不逮，卻常常感恩自己得到的點滴。簡單如：看了一齣令人鼓舞的電影，跟朋友來一次暢快的高談闊論，聽一句鼓勵的說話，見證人和人之間的關愛。
在 2011 的開端，著實要扔掉過去一年的成敗，繼續上路。我希望能夠繼續發現自己的不足，繼續忙碌，繼續期盼若即若離的夢想。就讓我老土的在這裡許個諾吧。我希望來年 －
(1) 多讀書；讀多書；讀書多
(2) 要自我增值，不停跑，跑不停。或許學樂器？室內設計？涉足心理學？
(3) 學習說話技巧，與人相處
(4) Work Hard and Work Harder
別罵我迷信，隨著本命年快將離去，在歲數又增長之時，我直覺 2011 年會是了不起的一年。因為我今天早上聽到沐浴在冬風下的樹葉也列隊為我吶喊。
Happy New Year!!!
