Money can't buy love 钱不能买到爱情 ...


I think money
can buy happiness (up to a point), 
but it definitely
can't buy love,
at least for most people
...

Seafood 海鲜 ...


Just about everyone's first impression
about this creature
feels 'phallic' about it,
it is only a Geoduck clam (象拔蚌),
good as sashimi or hot pot
...

Geoduck clam 象拔蚌 ...


Located on the Kowloon (九龍) side of the narrow eastern entrance to
Hong Kong Harbour, the small fishing village at Lei Yue Mun (鯉魚門)
first came into prominence in the early 1960s,
you can now reach here either by ferry or catch on the MTR
and drop-off at the Lam Tin Station (藍田站),
it is fashionable for locals and tourist alike
to come here for its seafood

Nothing matters 一切盡在不言中 ...


I suppose,
when you're in love,
nothing else really matters
 ...
God bless the couple

Crowded 人群 ...


Not a danger as such,
but if you don't like crowds,
the smells of street food,
hypnotic lights,
it is better to avoid the streets of Hong Kong
...

Ding Ding Tram 叮叮車 ...


These "Ding Ding" Trams 
were just outside the hotel, 
for a couple of weeks;
I commute to work on one of these

The night before Hurricane no 10 十号风球前后 ...


While some people may thrive in the 
hustle and bustle of Hong Kong life, 
I am not sure I can
...
and the next night, I was stranded at the
Hong Kong International Airport due to 
severe typhoon hit Hong Kong 
with Hurricane signal 10
...

Bustling city of Hong Kong 香港這城市 ...


I was in Hong Kong for a few weeks, 
busy lectures but took time off
to wonder around the streets of Hong Kong at night, 
it is great to be back

Show Jumping 马术 ...


Recently I had the opportunity to attend 
the Malaysian 2012 Equestrian Competition, 
I must say I really enjoyed 
photographing this sporting event 
...
Unfortunately, I had only the
Nikon 70-300 non-VR lens, 
perhaps it is time to invest 
with my new found interest on
Sports Photography

Innocence 天真 ...


Photography saved me, 
it got me through depression,
back to a place of innocence
long forgotten

Fishing the Sun 钓太阳 ...


I can't remember how many time 
I would miss a good sunrise photography
because I am driving
...
Today, I pulled over my car, 
to enjoy a little bit of sunrise with the P&S 
before I continue to drive to the city
...

A withered tree 枯木 ...


A wise man saw a monk sitting under a tree
and hurried over to ask
"I have been searching for the meaning of life
can you give me some answers?" 

...
"Must everything have a purpose ?" 
Monk replied
...
"I think Certainly, otherwise why are we living !" 
Wise man answered
...
and after a long pause ...
the monk said the following and left ...
"I think you have been thinking too much"
