A Great Day !

Chilean Phoenix delivered 33.

Myopic Jeffrey & unabashed Peng Siong apologised.

Adoption of 10 golden rules.
Take your camera everywhere you go.
Use it any time – day and night.
Lomography is not an interference in your life, but part of it.
Try the shot from the hip.
Approach the objects of your lomographic desire as close as possible.
Don’t think (william firebrace).
Be fast.
You don’t have to know beforehand what you captured on film.
Afterwards either.
Don’t worry about any rules.

十决

贪不得胜
入界宜缓
攻彼顾我
弃子争先
舍小就大
逢危须弃
慎勿轻速
动须相应
彼强自保
势孤取和

钱是用来消灾的。
灾是拿来学习的。
学习是自我提升。

Blessings

TODAY IS A DAY OF BLESSINGS BECAUSE IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORST.
NO HARDSHIP, NO REWARD.
OK, 塞翁失马,焉知非福. RECOVER, PERSEVERE, HAVE THE LAST LAUGH.
MY HEROES HAVE PATIENCE. I'M PROUD OF THEM.

上海浦东, 金藏路

I spent most of the last 2 weeks, since the Wednesday of 6th January, in 上海浦东, 金藏路.

My apartment was beautiful but very cold. I either stayed under the blanket or under the warm-air-blowing aircon (I pushed the sofa under the aircon). In fact, the office was much warmer and comfortable :-)


Another grouse about the apartment was the same breakfast every morning.

I’ve been to many other cold countries. In those places, it is warm once we step into any building, the whole building is heated. There in Shanghai, in any building, the lobby was cold, the corridor was cold, and the toilet was cold. It was amazing.

On the 2nd night, I stocked up on the ammunition required to last through the winter : Instant noodles, Instant coffee, Vit-C, Oranges, Throat lozenges, Lip-balm. Was my survival kit complete ?

Over the weekend, I visited 家乐福(金桥) and 莱佛士广场. I couldn’t catch any movie because 和平电影院 was full-house with Avatar fans. 莱佛士广场 and 和平电影院 are in 浦西, rather far. I took a taxi there and the Metro back.

I also visited an English pub called Jam twice. We drank and played pool, table-soccer, dices, …

My basic entertainment was still 围棋. 弈城 and TOM’s client servers both couldn’t work on my laptop. I was forced to play on Yahoo Go until I realized that KGS worked !

It started to get even colder on Sunday, with drizzles and mist. On Monday, it snowed ! On Tuesday, the wind cut to the bone. I felt the wind could blow through solid walls. I missed home and the warm sunshine beside the pool.

Most of the restaurants there were either 湘菜 or 川菜. I didn’t mind their spiciness but their taste was not really to my liking. I rather eat in roadside-shops. Normally, I try to eat less for dinner but I couldn’t afford to do it back there, else I’ll freeze-over.

Anyway, overall, it was another great experience !
