Cooking for Daddy

Butter Cereal Prawns
The fun: in frying the prawns. =)

Watermelon Chicken (my creation)
The Selling Point: It's healthy! It's "nutty"! It's WATERMELON AND CHICKEN! =p

The joy is in preparing a meal for your beloved!

It was a Happy Father's Day after all. =)

DSLR =)

Unexpectedly, I got my hands on a basic DSLR. =)

I'm happy with a normal digital camera. Nothing fancy. Just enjoy capturing moments.
But I appreciate what the DSLR is capable of doing. =)

"A photograph taken with a digital single lens reflex (DSLR) camera starts at the lens. A DSLR lens is really a collection of sub-lenses called elements. Each lens refines and focuses light to create a sharp, high quality image."

So I shall explore further, the wonders of the DSLR camera...

Dear Jessica

dedicating this blog post to my Baby Jess, an extraordinary daughter, and friend.

Whatever happens, you're not alone. =)

You've got a friend in me.

Love,
Quin.

Violin 小提琴 Vitula

Playing the violin has always been my childhood dream, or more like one of my secret ambitions. Well, it's no more a dream now that I have started learning. =)

Baroque music is empowering and the sound of violin is just as wonderful.

And later, as soon as I heard The Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi, I fell in love with the strings... "Winter" is peppered with silvery staccato notes from the high strings, calling to mind icy rain, whereas "Summer" evokes a thunderstorm in its final movement, which is why the movement is often dubbed "Storm."

To me, it is the most emotional musical instrument.
Sometimes it sounds like a soft speaking lady, sometimes a crying child, sometimes a heroic warrior, sometimes a blossoming flower, sometimes a lonely willow tree....

Time flies, it's been 6 months since my first violin lesson.
With the festive holidays in between, I have taken fewer lessons than I should have.
But the progress that I've made so far is something that I'm proud of. =)
Although I've been struggling with the basics, I've recently learnt to RELAX and ENJOY movements on the strings. Thanks to Ms.Yap, my truly amazing teacher.

铁马寻桥

最新的TVB剧集铁马寻桥又让我见识了李添胜的“戏”。

坚诚的等待，铁马的心酸。好美的故事。
不是凄美的美，不只是感动的美，是“顾家”互相守护，“第三件事”-正义的美！=)

故事的人物，每一个都那么重要，缺一不可。
这么细腻的戏，鲜少。

有欧阳惠兰（元秋）戏里的坚诚等候，蒋上珠（惠英红）的精湛演技，她戏中的“良知”，
荣万钧（向佐）的觉悟，荣德（林嘉华）的执迷不悟，梁湛（蒋志光）的铁砂掌，他的“正义”！
榮芷晴（李诗韵）的理智孝顺，邱局长（白彪）的昏庸，排长（戴耀明）的“豁出去”！
乜都曉教頭，棠哥仔-顾汝棠（马国明）的神神化化，“胆识过人”，非笔墨能形容的“酷”！
他们都让我，不爱追戏的我，永远地，深刻地记住了欧阳彪武术馆的对联：

修合无人知，良心有天知！

良心，正义-是不是你人生中的“其中一件事”？

=)

Yes, I love Liverpool!

I do! I do! I do! =)

That's my beautiful Merseyside.

Before catching the big match on Sunday, we made a trip to Liverpool.
And though we did not tour Anfield, it was awesome enough just sightseeing in Liverpool Central and Albert Dock.
I will always remember the walk at Albert Dock. The sunset was captivating.
I must admit that when we first got off the train from Manchester at Lime Street Station,IT WAS FREAKING COLD! But it was all worth it!

We even managed to have Chinese food at the biggest China Town in UK before happily hopping on the train back to Manchester that Saturday night. =)

It's no chicken.....

Bought a jersey and a scarf from the store NEXT to the official one. =p
It's 40% cheaper!

It's Liver Bird! =)

The 99 pence Toblerone Chocolate!

It's genuine! =)

收心养性

是时候“收心养性”了。

人生中现阶段最大的专业执照考试要到了！同学们看见“神龙教教主”般的我-来无影，去无踪，都好奇万分，有的甚至为我提心吊胆。这疯子是在找死吗？怎么可以若无其事，还到处游荡呢？

是的，是时候“收心养性”了朋友。

香港游过了，在大屿山吃过斋，海洋公园的海狮也结识了，英国到过了，伦敦的繁华体验过了，巴黎的风情感受过了，迪士尼乐园，曼联，利物浦也畅游过了，2010年的春季，也算是非同凡响咯。

寒窗数年，考取了法律系学士学位，还得过专业鉴定考试这虎口啊！
所以心里真的有些不平衡。怎么没完没了？ 或许是自己的心野，过动儿症状，要我“闭关修炼”，还蛮难的！

就开开心心地考吧！过了这关，就“自由”了！

巴黎的塞纳河，我会赶上那玻璃船，力争上游，我们在钟楼见！=)
