Hydrant Girl 消防栓女孩 ...

There are 6 different parts in this picture that interest me:
. the rarecourse in front 
. the black fence
. the lady
. the fire hyrant 
. no 12 on the fire hydrant, 
and the different layers of greens
but
in this picture
the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, 
I suppose 
that is what's called "Photography"

Tale of the Peacock 孔雀的故事 ...

Why does the Peacock has such a beautiful tail ?
According to the theory of sexual selection,
the peacock tail has gradually evolved
because the peahen selects beautiful males for mating 
...
So, in a cocktail party, I think
the choices for a female selecting a male 
are quite predictable

I would say
"It is a little bit of Heaven that night"

Till we both break down and cry
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides

alcohol beverage sales rise

Mao 毛澤東 ...

As a Chinese immigrant, the Concept of "Mao" is foreign to me 
and we do not have too much readings of Chinese History 
from the History books in our school 
...
Back then when I was in standard 6 in primary school, 
I remember vividly in 1976 when 
we hear the news about the death of Mao over the radio,

I could see trails of tears from my grandfathers face, 

and he locked himself in his room for several days

Did We Land on the Moon 我們真的在月球上著陸 ...

Recently, at a lecture tea break;
one of my students asked me whether
I believe Apollo land on the moon
or is it just a Hollywood production

Funny there landed on the moon 40 years ago, 
and they have not been there since then

Face of a Clown 恐懼小丑 ...

While an adult may be laughing,
a child may be in fear of looking at a man
with a red nose on a painted face;
...
as a kid, I remember I was confused with my fear and
laughter from the adults when a clown approaches, 
it sometimes still haunts me
whenever I see a clown,
as you will never know what's behind that face

I hear many people say that the job of retirement 

is to leave the job behind and let it go

I would like to cling on to 

it as long as I can
