Today at noon, my boss told me that I can go and explore Hong Kong, perhaps a museum, 'cause he has nothing for me to do. This is not exactly a good thing, it means that I can't really help with the studio's work...
but I still went ahead with his suggestion.

Went for lunch myself too, was delighted to see Jap food at the basement of SOGO, but er,



they threw my fried gyoza into the udon, and effectively made it wanton udon. Jap-HK fusion eh.

Most museums are closed on Tuesday here, so I went to Hong Kong Museum of Art.



To be completely honest, I had to make a conscious effort to keep awake, at the fine Art paintings exhibition where they show all the bird and flower paintings, with bamboo, lakes and whatnot. :X

Sad I missed the Louis Vuitton: A passion for Creation exhibition by 2 days, at least the antique section was quite interesting. This made me laugh.



It is someone stealing peaches, forgot his name ah.
He's showing two thumbs up leh! Imagine seeing this among all the deities and immortal ceramics standing and sitting straight.

The new Literati painting by contemporary China painters was a visual treat though.
The way they handled traditional calligraphy and make it such great chinese modern typography leaves me in awe.





What beautifully simple composition, wonderful balance.



This is called Big Vehicle I think, and it is indeed big.

Sorry you wonderful artists, I didn't note down all your names ah...... :X



So after all that art boost, I went for cake, and went on to the Cultural Centre and kopped a lot of brochures about upcoming events/musicals. Would love to go for the Little Prince play but it's in Canto, so NO, I will just cringe. And I unknowingly pop out of another exit and found myself at



It doesn't excite me, since I don't know more than half of those famous people featured there, plus was there with dear Ber, sis and broinlaw 4 years back.



Took some shots, and smiled to myself at the groups of youths doing stupid cheers and having orientation there.



And this is for you, Jiali!





Look at the annoying huge Ad on top of the building



It's been rainy here lately
They have wet summers



We'll save the panoramic view of their cityscape for another day, when the skies are less grey
It doesn't make me marvel, just wonder...



How many more are they going to build...



I think their heritage museum would be interesting though,
I think HK and Spore bear much similarities...so what did HK go through before getting here, boasting of this longggg panoramic urban landscape view?

See Puay, I really made an effort to use your hot pink bunny chopsticks, even when it looks so out of place with the sushi. It is easy to use, I squeeze the sushi in between and it just gets stuck there. And I have been looking everywhere for your butterfly clip, let you know when I get luckier.

Yesterday
The boss said he thinks I cannot be a designer, perhaps a teacher, 'cause I am too kind with my words. I don't know to take it as a compliment or not, since no one ever says I talk kindly. And I wasn't even trying to be nice leh. He is amazed TP makes us write words in our horrible pink logbooks. He says designers don't write reports. When I handed him mine, he went "F-ing a lot of words!"

It was another BMS (被骂session) aka Crit. Apparently we had to do a logo ah, but I saw that they were going to use the one done so I anyhow do......apparently he got Grey to put all the logos side by side and crit. ._. Whoops.
It's already week three and I haven't been able to...do anything impressive.



Because I left work early, I could meet the caregroup for dinner and sharing. They went to Noah's Ark in the afternoon *_* The Careleader wearing a Jesus Christ shirt shared many things and I guess he could tell I was quite upset, said it may not be a bad thing too, and it's because of that that I got to join them too. I think grateful and faithfilled people see God's handprints in every circumstance.

Haven't been going online so I won't vomit all my rants on someone (possibly poor YT), but to take time off myself. I was just thinking. Maybe I really need to be stripped, then will I learn to depend on someone Greater. Back there, things were rather smoothsailing, people see value in what I do, my friends see value in me... Here, complete new ground, no one gives a feather about what you did right before.

Just like in UP,
the famous explorer gave up everything, went nuts to achieve and get that colourful bird so that people will recognise his efforts. On the other hand, we see the little boy Russell caring for every living thing because that's the heart of a wilderness explorer. Something so fundamental that a bui cute amateur boy understand, a renowed pro forgets with his eyes fixed on all the wrong things.

When you are stripped of everything you can do, your talents and what not,
what remains?

The boss said that there is no need to be kind with words, since the world is not a kind place. People don't talk nicely. To me, it's simply because we live in such a harsh and messed up place that we need to show love. (though I sincerely didn't try much)
What a weird place we live in, everyone goes on hurting one another, though we all know that our very souls need the love we all don't give.

I'll just keep on trying.
