11 最困難的選擇
To move onto the next world or to dwell in the current? To follow my guide and discard everything, or to stay behind and at least grasp onto certain things? I am a dreamer, do I follow my dreams or follow the reality?
The Lighthouse, Glasgow, Scotland

This reminds me of my highschool days where we dissected an eye of a lamb. And to my surprise, it was not oval, but rectangular.

06 充滿回憶的...
I was here for nine years of my life. Nine years of childhood chasing games with brother, sister and cousins. Nine years of spitting down to the never-quiet always-honking traffic. Nine years of lighting firecrackers off the 11th floor during festivities. Nine years of watching grandma's potting her exotic plants. Nine years of crossing over to the neighbor's flat. Nine years of flying paper airplanes and homemade kites into wherever it may land. Nine years of confronting my fear of height. Nine years of burning paper money for our ancestors. Nine years of catching bugs and butterflies. Nine years of beloved memory on the rooftop, finally revisted after twelve years.

05 當爺爺牽起奶奶的手

You are my grandmother. You are old. You play two rounds of mahjong every night with the same people. You do not go out by yourself. You hope for the weekends to arrive sooner when your husband doesn't need to attend business meetings. You sit at home without anything to do during the day. You have no friends here. You hire a nanny to play board games with you. You have trouble walking by yourself. You do not do art. You are seen as a fragile being. You have trouble reading. You watch the news ocassionally on the television. You sleep most of your time away. You find no meaning in living. You wait for your husband's return from work. You are always alone. You are my grandmother.

04 情趣

In San Francisco, on the day that Terry and Tim ditched me for Stanford, I toured the Public Market... like a tourist. Fascinated by the urban lifestyle, I bumped into this specialty store that sold... well specialties. I can't even remember the name of the shop, but what I do recall is the donut, and the lack of cream flavoured filling with a fabulous chuckle. The shopkeeper was obviously gay, his gay asian smile appealed to me in some estranged way, as he apoligized for not having enough cream. I settled with the chocolate instead. He danced away like a fairy and gave me a business card and told me to visit their fabulous website. I never did. Why? I don't know. But one day, I dream came to me, and told me that I will find my love in San Francisco.

03 犯罪現場

On a day of standard Taipei smogs and predictable boredom, a few cousins and brothers shared a light-hearted and unpunished guilt that remained unforgotten in blue and white. It was here that we first learnt that the fragility of cheap pipes do not support the weight of an eight year old; and that the probability of actually breaking our pipe out of the ten floors of pipe systems of offices and residency was indeed low. In the end, a-day-of no-running-water prize was randomly awarded to the 5th floor.

02 快樂
We stepped out of the "curvilicious" drive in the lower peaks of some random hills in Yosemite Park. Greeted by the typical California sunshine, and a typical crapload of tourists, our cameras were ready and the models were on standby. Taking photographs makes Andy happy. And modeling makes Jing happy. Taking photographs also makes Terry happy. And not sure if modeling makes Tim happy, but it sure makes me and Terry happy.

01 瀟灑
Too bad I never learnt Chinese history, so I'm not quite sure if this takes the form of the infamously hard-to-define, no-equivalent-English-definition term of xiao-sha.
