A photo gallery is born

This is a project which I intended to start about 15 months ago. My goal is to fill up the side wall of the living room of my apartment with the travel photos I shot. I got this idea from the internet. The photos were actually framed up about 13 months back but I left them lying on the floor doing nothing other than collecting dust. It's shame really! Few weeks back, my brother finally helped me to buy an impact drill from his company which enables me to drill the wall with holes to hang up these photos. Drilling holes on the wall is not as easy task as it seems to be. I spent about an hour this afternoon to hang up these photos. There is one more larger photo which I did not manage to hang it up because I was running out of the hook. Next round, I will probably frame some photos with white frame or silver frame. And maybe I should just stick to white and black frame. Anyway, I am sure I will fill up the wall within next 6 months. The cost of framing one photo is not cheap and it depends on the length of wood needed. So, I can only afford to frame 3-4 photos in one round.

Finally, I have a photo gallery of my own!

借口

在人生的十路口的你, 如果前面的路全都是红灯, 你还会一直的往前走吗? 还是, 你停下来等红灯变青灯呢?
如果, 红灯代表你现在在生活上所遇到的难题, 十路口代表你需要做的选择, 你会呆在那里什麽也不做吗? 还是你会找另外一条出路或者做个转弯?
有的人会呆在那里唉声叹气，然后什麽都不做。
有的人会想尽办法来寻找出路。
有的人会在这时装备自己，来等待下一次的机会。
如果你真的不知道要如何才是好，请祈求上帝赐你一个心思意念吧。

最重要的是请不要为自己找一个停滞不前的借口.

Hong Kong Revisit

It was as if I was meeting an old friend who always give me a mixed feeling whenever we meet. Hong Kong is a destination where I familiar with yet, every time I visit her, she renewed herself to welcome me warmly. This time, more and more shopping complexes had been built in the hope of quenching the insatiable appetite of those shoppers compared to the last visit I made to this city. Thanks God because He has answered our prayer of good weather. We had good weather during this trip although the weather forecast reported that there would be scattered rain for the whole trip. Light rain only came on a day before we left. Humidity was good also compared to the time when I was here last September. As a metropolitan and key finance center of Asia, Hong Kong has naturally attracted a lot of people from different countries in the world to work and live here which created a diversified culture here. So, in order to feed these people, a lot of restaurants which serve authentic food from different countries are opened here. All these have made Hong Kong a food haven. However, I still love the local Hong Kong food more than anything else., especially the dim sum and desserts. So, it is also about food every time when I make a visit. The other favorite activities I enjoy doing there are window shopping and watching people. Watching people is a natural thing to do here since Hong Kong packs about 7 millions people in such a small and limited land and you would see a crowd any way you turn your head. Nobody can get away from doing shopping when in Hong Kong. I am no exception but I only managed to buy two cotton t-shirts for HKD150 in this trip. I also wondered how this could be possible. :D
OK. Enough of nonsense for now. Let's see the photos I took during this trip. I only picked a few for your viewing pleasure. I might be making next trip here very soon at one of these weekends to get myself out of Penang again. Who knows?!
