Anna May Wong - HD STEREO - THESE FOOLISH THINGS - Rod Stewart
Part of 黃柳霜's legacy - a lovely song written for her by a lover and an alleged relationship with Marlene Dietrich which captures every man's imagination....

If you don't say no, your body will
Heard this from someone who stopped the crazily hectic life when her body protested through several symptoms. Similar things happen to me recently. A flu reveals so much more of what my body is trying to tell me. Glad to have found this little eatery in my neighbourhood just when I needed it most.

拾起十年
開台前的準備情況，仍歷歷在目。文化節目的第一位訪問嘉賓是伍宇烈。為旅遊節目做demo， 第一次做live， 接電話, 做MC, 出event, 攪campaign... 還有很多很多的第一次,都於遊走醫療政策,保險,NLP,消閒,音樂,訪談等不同form and content中實踐.
一路走來,偶有灰心失望時, 仍無限感激路上所有因緣。沒有這些年來的好人好事，絕對不能成就往後的機會。
當然最窩心的，還是早以成為好朋友，風雨同路的幾位好同事。單是這個，就夠我要高唱: "So somewhere in my youth or childhood, I must have done something good!"

又下西洋
It's been a customary move for me to stay in a heritage hotel whenever possible for the past few years and The Majestic is just what I want.Donovan, of Dutch ancestry, is the in-house guide who conducts complimentary historical walk for hotel guests twice a day. An ecologist by professional, he gives good historical perspective and interpretation of the 600 year-old city during the 2-hour walk.
Intrigued by the baba nyonya culture, I had peranakan food most of the time, in old mansion-converted restaurants. The baba nyonya heritage museum is solely a private museum, converted from an old residence of the 曾 family, the 4th generation of baba nyonya now. Being wealthy and having 文化承擔 at the same time is not easy, at least for the Chinese. If the same size of property were to be found in HK, it would have long sold to developers for building characterless and soul-less 豪宅.
The Cheng Ho Cultural Museum is a nice little surprise. It stands on the land where Cheng's 官廠 used to be.
Looking at the diverse faces of people and the languages they speak is so much fun. Malay, Portugese, Dutch, Chinese, Indian and an eclectic mix of these are simply awesome. And the Cantonese spoken there is just adorable : 七溝半(七個半), 要水冇(要唔要嘢飲)...
I guess my honey's ancestry must have been connected to Malacca in some ways. Hohohohoho.
