Last Night I Missed All the Fireworks: July 2010

http://stealingphotographs.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html

Last Night I Missed All the Fireworks. Wednesday, 14 July 2010. Hope you are all well my beautiful eggs. I want absolute beauty. I want this album to sing and fly and be full of reverb and lush layers of melody. I want it to be my beautiful, sumptuous, lovely piece of work.". Imagine a song, that really reached out and touched kids,. And not in a Daily Mail way, innocence corrupted,. But in a way where criticism remained constructive,. And wasn't too politicised and children weren't instructed,.

Last Night I Missed All the Fireworks: November 2010

http://stealingphotographs.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html

Last Night I Missed All the Fireworks. Saturday, 27 November 2010. Stiller the oxygen the harder. Zhuangzi wrote about dreaming as a butterfly dreaming as a man. It would be a little macbre and untrue if I was to stay that I cut myself to make me realise that this isn't a dream. But sometimes the dusk moment between dreaming and waking up can be a frightening experience. Live your dreams my beautiful eggs. The further away I get from you. The harder it gets for everyone else, for everyone else.

Last Night I Missed All the Fireworks: January 2010

Last Night I Missed All the Fireworks. Tuesday, 26 January 2010. Blankets on the beach. It's like a dusting of icing sugar but when it hits my tongue the sweetness isn't there and I'm starting to get cold in the fingers. They begin to fall off at an alarming rate and there's nothing left of me to talk about. I'm just a pile of washed up blood and bones on the side of the road, not even vultures would pick at. Look to the horizon my beautiful eggs. When We Were Kings. The book of haiku.

Last Night I Missed All the Fireworks: June 2010

Last Night I Missed All the Fireworks. Sunday, 27 June 2010. Back of a postcard. Two stories are swishing around in my head around, not really related but somewhere in my backward mind it seems to fit that this is something that would make sense. I thought about how lucky we are in this generation, we definitely are. Enjoy the youth you have my son' she said, albeit in Chinese. But what marks us out from our parents? You may tire of me as our December sun is setting. Cause I'm not who I used to be. This ...

Last Night I Missed All the Fireworks: January 2011

http://stealingphotographs.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

Last Night I Missed All the Fireworks. Sunday, 9 January 2011. Slowly making an effort to fill the house with less plastic, a sound decree really, it makes sense. My parents had nothing in their possession save some family heirlooms which, even if it was worth some money they wouldn’t have sold them on. Save your money my beautiful eggs, but more importantly save your time, use it for something wonderful. They made a statue of us. And put it on a mountaintop. Now tourists come and stare at us. Living for...

Last Night I Missed All the Fireworks: December 2009

http://stealingphotographs.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html

Last Night I Missed All the Fireworks. Thursday, 17 December 2009. Having been for the sixth time in many recent years, it really does feel like home. My auntie around a table of Hakka Choi said to me 'how do you know so many people in Hong Kong? I shrugged knowingly and realising that there was no simple answer. A attention seeking loathelite? A bullshitter pretending to understand with a range of small talk? In a strange way Hong Kong taught me without lecturing me, that if I look on the inside no matt...

Saturday, April 26, 2014. I have become rather obsessed about making wall hangings, it's the perfect way to show off beautiful printed fabrics. Here's one I made a while ago featuring the lovely Lumimarja print designed by Erja Hirvi from Marimekko (which we bought back in 2012, yikes). This comes in many colourways but we chose the grey/yellow/white version. Any excuse to use the staple gun really =). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Flicks Margaret and David.

The EC Life: March 2010

Monday, March 29, 2010. 讀報看到了這一段關於香港某海外研究生獎學金的報導，一名獎學金得主是修讀音樂的，她如此說：「玩音樂就好似職業運動員，光輝嘅時間有限。」. 一句話就露了底。「玩」音樂的年紀大了是越爐火純青越光輝，因為人生歷練多了，看的聽的自比年輕人多，對音樂的感受自然會較豐富成熟有韻味，不會死硬硬或強說愁或過於作狀。所謂「人哋食鹽多過你食米」也。有很多到六七十甚至八十歲還在開音樂會呢。怎可能光輝嘅時間有限呢？難道她認為拉小提琴的都在三四十歲就玩完？？就算真的不行，有很多轉做指揮家呢，一樣「玩」得很成功。 可能她太專注考試。這是在香港學音樂的通病。我以前都身受其害，只是考試考試又考試，什麼音樂修養都沒有顧及。 Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The EC Life: August 2010

Saturday, August 21, 2010. 2那個阿伯年輕時的結婚照- 我估計阿伯七十多歲罷，那相片應該都有五十年歷史。那相片不但是彩色，而且還很鮮艷，相中女主角的打扮髮型姿勢都太現代化。 Wednesday, August 11, 2010. 印度有一位知名的哲學家，天生一股特殊的文人氣質，不知迷死多少女人。 某天，一個女子來敲他的門，她說：. 12300;讓我作你的妻子吧！錯過我，你將再也找不到比我更愛你的女人了。」. 哲學家雖然也很中意她，但仍回答說：「讓我考慮考慮。」. 事後，哲學家用他一貫研究學問的精神，將結婚和不結婚的好、壞所在，分別條列下來，才發現，好壞均等，真不知該如何抉擇呢？ 於是，他陷入長期的苦惱之中，無論他又找出了什麼新的理由，都只是徒增選擇的困難。 最後，他得出一個結論，人若在面臨抉擇而無法取捨的時候，應該選擇自己尚未經驗過的那一個。 不結婚的處境我是清楚的，但結婚會是個怎樣的情況，我還不知道，. 女人的父親冷漠地回答：你來晚了十年，我女兒現在已經是三個孩子的媽了。」.

Tuesday, December 25, 2012. 這是1982年舊版本"The Snowman"，每年平安夜英國電視都會重播，主題音樂很好聽的(大約16分鐘開始)。 Thursday, December 6, 2012. 拍攝。上年在Baltimore公幹時去的。Baltimore不是旅遊點（其實治安頗差，有追看 The Wire. 如果天氣好的話，Baltimore港都可以消磨一天，有一間漢堡包店賣的包很好吃。 Tuesday, December 4, 2012. 最近稍為有空閒，在網上左clic右click，從某博客的連結click出一篇奇文(某電子報專欄)，題曰：為什麼看電影與看英超不算嗜好？(吓！)引一段分享：. 4 聽／安裝／收集古董Hi-Fi. 10 室內設計（裝修）.
