人類的假裝美德 Pretense of the Human Virtue ...

We "f-ked" 

every living thing on this planet 

and pretend that it is fine

...

 

應對生活的挑戰 Navigating Life's Challenges ...

is like riding a bicycle with 

one hand on the umbrella and another on the handlebar, 

sometimes in a drizzle and others in a downpour

and sometimes in a straight road and others in irregular bends

...

 

生活從來就不公平 Life is never fair ...

AND for most people, 

there isn't any CHOICE

...

 

等待 the Wait ...

When waiting is hard, 

especially for the pain to go away

...

 

珍惜曾經 I wish I knew what was coming ...

Cherish your childhood days

before it is over

...

 

光與暗 One without the other

Without darkness,
Light would not be meaningful

The Old Taste 旧的味道 ...

Both me and my wife love coffee, 
but
while I prefer the old taste of black and strong,


my wife prefer the Latte and Cappuccino
from the shop opposite this one

Out of Work 害怕失去工作 ...

I work in the industry for 2 companies about 20 years, 
before I became a freelancer
and that was 8 years ago when I was 41
...
the mindset is different, 
I don't have an office, no colleagues, no one to report to
and at times when I am out of work for
a couple of weeks, 
there is a scary feeling of unemployment
but I was glad to have a camera with me
during those out of work periods

Yellow, Orange, and Red 
to the chinese cultures represents

and brings good luck

That is why perhaps you see
lots of Yellow, Orange, and Red color
in the Chinese New Year

Junk Food 垃圾食品 ...

Don't we all remember 
the junk food

before we head home

and now, I have been warning
my kids not to save the pocket 
money for the junk food in school

Burden 負擔 ...

Regardless of our age,
