Heartbeat

less than 5 hours at Pompidou, i still got the chance to see one of the most memorable and powerful exhibition during the trip ---
" The Movement of Image "

at the dark little corner , i found the most touching work and
i finally met her (work) ...

Heartbeat by Nan Goldin is a series of slides portraying the intimate life of different pairs of couples/ close friends of Goldin ,along with the heavenly vocal by bjork. "Prayer of the Heart" is a soundtrack specially composed by John Tavener for Bjork.The soundtrack was sung in 3 languages Coptic, English and Greek with simple line: "Lord Jesus , have mercy on me".

Sitting there, i was moved by these images, but at the same time with tingle of saddness and loneliness...of being as the outsider , which is on the same position as the photographer, we are so vulnerable....


a work from her solo book " I'll be your Mirror".

a kiss

my nephew ,
with his little hands embraced my neck and gave me a big big kiSSsss suddenly...

the feelings was strange...embarrassed ...shocked ... warm & touched

i kept thinking about my reaction...

i guess is the chemistry of Human touch ...

no matter is a 2 years old boy or a man...

35%西班牙上班族 患假期後綜合症 (明報) 09月 01日 星期五 05:05AM

【明報專訊】悠長假期過後，你若有疲倦、失眠、昏昏欲睡、胃口欠佳、難以集中精神工作、有不正常肌肉痠痛或心跳太快，以至焦慮、空虛或容易發怒等徵狀，你可能已患上「假期後綜合徵（症）」。
西班牙(相關新聞 - 網站)研究人員指出，要預防「假期後綜合徵」，最好把一段悠長假期「斬件」，分開申放。上班前兩三天逐漸回復平常的生活節奏，有助克服此症。另外，應避免把旅行及悠閒節目堆在長假期進行，這可減少「上班如苦差」的感覺——這感覺正是導致「假期後綜合徵」的主因。
他們估計，該國介乎25至40歲的上班族中，高達35%受此症影響。

the taste of food 05

the reason for buying this book because i am attracted to the title:
食蛋撻的路線圖 (the route for egg tart) , it satisfied my passion for finding good valuable food.
What surprised me is,this book is not just talking about food (where to find the food or how delicious the food taste ) but also the author's observation on food related to the cultural changes.From local traditional delicacies like egg tart, won ton noodles,Horse cookies (馬仔), local creamy butter cake to weatern zoe's bakery, Fuji Apple vs "snake" apple, traditional Zung (Dragon boat festival)(粽) vs low fat Zung ..etc
This book is a "Morning delights" to read while travelling back to work... it will arouse your appetite of the day!
As most of the food can be found in Wan chai area, it provides me a chance to visit some of places mentioned in the book... these local snacks become my " afternoon delights" & " after work delights" ...
one more thought...if the local tv channel can conduct a more in-depth research on Food & Cutlure issue rather than inviting second-line stars host using same bunch of vocabulary to describe the taste of the food, the food programme will be totally different...
