执子之手,与子偕老


No doubt, shooting in RAW can be fun,
but if this continues, I had to buy a new hardisk,
only for storing my photos....


this not my best shot as it is out of focus,
(i intended to focus the eye but the camera went for the nose)
but I felt wasted to discard it ...
I love the emotion he gave back then

When I saw a dog, I cant help but to think about
how dog be so loyal in loving his master,
but how fragile we are in loving someone,

and there was a saying by  my chinese teacher,
which the only deep impression i had on him is that he is cool,
nevertheless there is a saying i learn from him is ..


执子之手,与子偕老
which basically ,
Hold your hands, and live till we grow olds,
althought it is part of a poem , but it give a simple yet powerful meaning,



and i think it is nice to share the whole poem out right here,

执子之手,与子共著;
执子之手,与子同眠;
执子之手,与子偕老;
执子之手,夫复何求?

Which means
Hold your hands, pass through difficulty with you,
Hold your hands, and sleep through the night with you,
Hold your hands, and grow old with you,
Hold your hands, what else I can wish for ?

correct me if I'm wrong with the translation,
(counting on ah yu for that )
because I translate through my understanding of the poem,

It may sound simple, but it really express everything I wish for in a relationship

Origin of 下一站天后,

When I travel in HK using their MTR(Mass Transit Railway),
which is equivalent to our LRT,
except the subway map is bigger,




for clearer look , click here

and the train is superly long and big,



However, I noticed one thing ,

IF your next stop is MONG KOK ,
the PA will announce ( annoys you ) that
The PA will tell you that  (in order)
"NEXT STATION MONG KOK"
下一站 旺角 (奥语)


And how does that relate to this song ?



well, if you look carefully,

there is a Station in MTR is call TIN HAO (天后)



so if anyone who pass by TIN HAU station
will hear the sentence
NEXT STATION TIN HAU
下一站 天后

If you still think I'm crapping,
even the song lyrics also indicate that tian hou is a place,
quoting the lyrics...

"站在大丸前 細心看看 我的路

再下個車站 到天后 當然最好"

I believe this is 伍乐城 (lyrician) found his ilham

I so sorry



 I'm so sorry,
I dont know why,
I had this feeling that we are heading to sunsets
to our journey ,

if parting is the ending of everything,
then before i reach the ending,
I hope I can treat you better ,

but of course, I dont wish to have any ending
in the first place..
The only ending I want is an happy ending just like fairy tales,
the prince may kiss the bride, and live "happily ever after"

I am so sorry that my love reach you later than it should,
I am so sorry , that I hurt you more than I should,
I am so sorry about the fact that I realize I need you when it is too late...

I think this is consequences of me being  犯贱
I'm sorry,

My first RAW pic /project 365

This year, I wish to put my photography skill into another level, 

By shooting in RAW format,
If anyone wonder what is RAW, and what is the difference between RAW and JPEG
Let me explain, 

A RAW file,in short 
is uncompressed, complete data from camera sensor, 
so basically, if you got 12 MegaPixel Camera, 
you will get a 12MB worth of data in your RAW pic, 
this is a significant boost to your picture quality as 
A 12 MegaPixel could only take at most 3MB picture in JPEG, 

But JPEG is the standard format for any photos, 
just like FB can accept JPEG format for uploading , but not RAW ....

But higher quality comes with more post editing trouble, 
In JPEG, you can just take the photo and upload it in FB,
but in RAW
you have to view it in another software (Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0) and save it in jpeg,

Well, why I would wan to shoot in RAW since it bring more trouble to me ? 
First of all, RAW is a means for me to produce higher quality picture, 
and 
I wan to change my habit to take photos in quality instead of quantity, 

anyway, 
here is the first shot of my RAW ,

It took me two hour to take this 
but another 2 days to figure out how to save in JPEG ,
but it is worth it though....

i feel so proud now
