First SURFING in my life

Eric is my surfing instructor (Chinese is Si Fu)! He is a very cool guy: good looking, muscular, gentle and passionate to surf. He made me ride and stand on the board at my FIRST time surfing. But Eric told us for a beginner, he can hardly stand on it. BUT i did it!

Actually the board is quite heavy. I was hit by it when the big wave came and then i felt so dizzy.


I was carrying the board and ready to surf again after a short break.


I felt so tired and breathe very hard after the practising. Eric was carrying the board for me.


I was wearing the wet suit and amazingly and perfectly it protects me from the freezing water.

I really can't believe i got a chance for surfing! it's very very cool experience! Thank you very much! Eric, Wonder and Wan!

See you so soon

各位朋友, 我會在十二月七日清晨五時左右到香港! 哈哈哈......

記得第一次由洛杉磯返香港, 飛機飛到香港水域時, 由空中看見一個一個小小的島嶼, 眼已紅了. 沒有抽搐, 淚水就流到面上. 我想這是沒有哭泣的眼淚, 非到了極端的情感時, 是很難會如此吧---瀟灑的走了, 回來時卻帶著365日掛念的心情.

住在洛杉磯已兩年半, 性格及行為亦隨著環境作出改變. 我常常覺得自己住在隱修院---一個被繁華都市包圍起來的隱修院. 每天都只有我一個人. 慢慢地學會無比的忍耐和冷靜, 以及時常感謝的心. 當遇上任何的事情, 再不需要別人的幫忙, 因為必須學懂一個人怎樣面對和解決. 每日都基本上練習獨處, 克服害怕, 維持心境平靜, 生活不變. 一星期應該有五天讓自己修煉, 其他的日子, 我會走出這個繁華都市, 感染一下世俗的氣份. 其實這樣的生活, 有平淡有精彩. 一生何求?

遇到不會令你死亡的事, 只會讓你更堅強. 大概每人都會遇上沈痛的打擊, 如此你的承受能力會提高, 你會變得更堅強.

我覺得香港的生活較簡單, 面對的問題大約是工作、家庭或朋友, 可能是居住問題吧. 可沒想到身份的問題. 我現在才明白作為一個人, 身份的重要性、基本權利的重要性. 如果在一個國家居住, 而你沒有任何身份, 差不多可以說沒有將來. 而且沒完沒了的付出金錢、時間去申請這個身份, 真的希望快快來個了斷, 快快有個結果.

可能這是我的命運. 從小就要經歷遷往不同的地方居住---從中山、澳門、香港、到現在的洛杉磯. 有時會想根在何處? 自小就要感受分別, 重逢又分別的感覺. 飄浮不定的生活, 幾時會完呢?

可以這樣說, 如果抱著同一樣的心情, 無論在什麼地方居住, 都是一樣. 生活就好像我家路邊的茶花,在不同的時候, 花兒會長, 會落, 要得平和的心去觀賞.

朋友呀!遲些見!

A great day!

I am so happy to make Wan happy in his birthday!

Something seems simple and easy for other people, but for me it is tough. Since i can drive, i have more freedom. I can drive to buy flowers, wrapping paper, whipping cream, flour and strawberries. Since i can earn some money in the US, i can buy something that i need.

i feel thankful and having a great day with Wan. Happy Birthday to you!

To bring into being,
an art of life.
How sublime you are, extracting
the contour from the clouds.

You tickle me with your dwine tentacles,
grabbing, tugging, prolonging...
my little milkshake of hamburger.

上海雲吞

雲祺是上海人, 他總是熱心地教我做上海菜. (點解? 就是教左我之後, 我便懂得做上海菜給他吃囉!)

其實他做菜係有一手, 因為他留學時,曾在餐廳廚房炒菜. 你估不到很多不同的餸菜都是由他教我做的! 今日, 就讓我示範一下做上海雲吞啦!

材料:
免治瘦肉 (份量我每次都是隨心的)
急凍上海薺菜一包 (一半)
雲吞皮一包
蛋一只
薑茸 小訐






瘦肉調味料: (份量隨心)
鹽
糖
酒
生抽
糊椒粉

瘦肉餡製法:
薺菜飛水、盛乾(可用手大力揸乾)及切碎
將薺菜、調味料、薑茸和蛋加入碎肉, 拌勻.

包雲吞步驟:
材料準備好啦!





對摺到2/3的位置

把1/3的雲吞皮反過來

將雲吞向內彎曲

點少訐水在雲吞皮上

用力壓實雲吞皮兩端





點辣醬吃真係好野味!

ps: 可用其他新鮮菜代替急凍薺菜, 例如白菜或菲菜, 不過先要煮熟菜, 然後揸乾水.
