I still get so excited

Yesterday, I met one
which just sat there to be photographed

Aloof 与世无争 ...

Sometime ago, 
when I announced myself as semi-retired
...
I find that I do not need
to charge my mobile phone for many days
as there are hardly any incoming calls 
...
where have those "friends" whom 
I have worked with during
my consulting and teaching career .. gone 
...
Reality is when you are no longer 
in the Rat Race, 
You may seem not to be too useful anymore
That's where all those "friends" will be gone 
...
Welcome to the Real World

Stages of Life 生命的阶段 ...

Life is a puzzle. 
Sometimes it makes us laugh. 
Sometimes it makes us cry, 
Most of the time it left us thinking,
One story at a time
Until time ran out 
for the last story
of our lives

Chrysanthemum 菊 ...

It was a surprise to find the
cultural significance and symbolism
of the Chrysanthemum flower
...

In Europe, Chrysanthemum are a symbolic of death,
In China, Chrysanthemum is a symbolic of lamentation or grief,
In the US, it is regarded as cheerful and positive,
Yet some other countries, it represents honesty, 
In Australia, it is given to mothers on mother's day,
The Supreme Order of the Chrysanthemum is a Japanese honor awarded by the emperor.
(all from the web, apologies if it is incorrect)

...
I am confused 
...
What is the meaning of Chrysanthemum flower to you ?

Cocktail 鸡尾酒 ...

I am usually a quiet person

in any party,

but there was once 

the next day at work

my colleagues told 

me I was the best comedian

the night before at the party
...
that was when I realized
I had a little too much
cocktail
and I can't remember a
single thing I said

Sentimental Small Talk 青涩的闲聊 ...

I have a dear friend,
Mr Lim 
A dentist by day
and 
a cupcake enthusiast by night 
...

After a number of years of obsession,
one day Mr Lim
stopped baking,
just like that
...
He is now a traveling Photographer
and no longer a dentist nor cupcake enthusiast 
...
Funny thing
I have not met him 
after he became a Photographer
as the last time I heard from him,
he was in Chile 
almost 8 years ago

In my vague memories
of childhood which 
I don't wish to remember,
I don't think I have celebrated 
his or my birthday 
with my father

and then again, 
never really did speak
to him when he was alive
...
Happy Birthday to all fathers 
who never 
had a birthday cake
