sunset in mongkok

i love all the signs

golden arches versus golden sunset

street lights- the manmade kind and the natural kind

the painted lines versus the lines of light

If you google sunsets it's usually going to be sunsets at beaches or over lakes or the sun behind hills or something like that. But I discovered that sunsets in the city are much more interesting. I went to pick up my business cards today. People were hurrying home and waiting to cross streets. the sunlight hit me in the eye. I followed the sunset around Mong Kok... between buildings and through alleys.. it's hard to tell where it comes from.. but eventually the sun set and i went home.. it's fun to live in the city.

Chinese New Year holiday

Maybe it was a conversation i had with Lynette. I feel like friends aren't forever. They come and go, just because that's the way life is. Some move. Some don't like you any more. Some have kids. Some work all the time. It's kind of sad... But it's also beautiful because for a moment in your life you crossed paths.

Lynette says she doesn't have friends. Well I don't have a lot either. And they are all weird.

Anyway yesterday we all went to the wetland park and saw mudskippers and non existent butterflies and all kinds of birds. We rolled around on the grass and pointed at trees and turtles and the sky. Typical city people.

Maybe it's just me but i get all emotional thinking one day i might forget all this. So i should write it down. I think it's because after popo died, i keep thinking that everybody might die soon. Kind of creepy but it's true right?

Parallel universe

Here on earth

We mourn for our loss and pain

While in a parallel universe 

Angels celebrate 

for their gain

Compassion

You say, a world of compassion, 

And I think of rainbows and unicorns

And kittens and new borns

Then you say, the meaning of compassion is, suffering with.

I wonder what kind of myth that is.

Nephews

First I had one nephew

And then I had two.

Few years later,

I had another, 

who knew?

Soon there'll be a whole crew

of nephews, old and new.

When will it all stop?

Just one niece

will do.

today

My grandma died today
My head hurt like hell.
I know I'll see her one day
in heaven where all is well.

When we meet again

I'll give her a great big hug

She won't recognize me

Because I'll be ninety three.

Daughter

The stranger emerges from water

as the wife becomes a mother

Then the stranger meets her father

Whose son is now her brother
