如果很仔細地寫一本很頹廢的書/漫畫, 或者很頹廢地寫一本很仔細的書/漫畫。
那作品會是怎麼樣的?
Historians are better at guessing and they are hopeless at defining, but they argue a lot. I guess that defines me as an architectural and art historian. :)

New discovery of the day
Why do men have five fingers?
1. Index - lift the toilet seat
2. Middle - hold the pee pee
3. Ring - flush the toilet
4. Pinky - turn on the tap to wash hands
5. Thumb - to balance everything
... I'm a Virgo, sorry...

Terminal
Finally have some personal time at the airport after a crazy Japan trip and intense Hong Kong socialising parties.
I always thought that unplanned time is the best time in a day. Friends being late, missing a bus, stepping on dog poo. These all make you stop and rethink, oh what should I do now, since I have time that I never planned to have.
In fact, I almost stepped on dog poo today while rushing back home to pack and catch the flight to Los Angeles. If I had stepped on dog poo, my shoe may be a lot cleaner, newer and smell better than had I not stepped on dog poo as I would zealously clean the Nike pair over and over again to hide any hint of the result of not paying attention to where my next foot will land on.
My plan for the remaining 10 day of holiday (in fact, my brother is getting wedded on 21 Aug). Is to relax and not think of anything. But before all that happens, let me share with you some interesting stuff:
Hong Kong news:
1. 小販管理隊人員,為甚麼你的名字裏有一個「人」字?
2. Change is in the air...
3. ...and the change has to come quick before it's too late
Architecture news:
1. Magnifying then simplifying the beauty of light - James Turrell
2. I wonder what deconstructionists think of this, but I love it =)
3. Architects, embrace sublime and simplicity. No more comparing whose pee pee is longer / bigger. Focus on how to make architecture for the people, not for press / postcards.
Other news:
1. This is how happy pavements should look like
2. How to witness a lighbulb dying
3. I wonder if cats like tennis balls as their cat bed as well? Cause I hate dogs...
4. Tea bag as purifier, why didn't I think of that earlier!? I 'd be a millionaire by now if I had!!
I love French kisses:
Allons-y un jour!
Oh, and my only finalised plan for the remaining 10 days is:
1. Attend my brother's wedding and drink as much free stuff as I can while I am off medication.
2. Finish Evangelion TV series that a dear younger brother bought for.... academic purposes.

距離
Swing - 隔三日 見一面
情懷能從來不變 可惜那點 纏綿仍難如當天
如仍能從來一次 低速發展 讓熱情從蜜意 慢慢燃
但這次要矜持 要享受 每點 每點
隔三日 見一面 更加期待 妳的臉
從前曾情迷心竅 一週五天 談情隨時談通宵
到最尾維持不了 只懂看錶 若是尚存蜜意 慢慢燃
但這次要矜持 要享受 每點 每點
隔三日 見一面 更加期待 妳的臉
越是情投合意 越易燃越怕太過痴纏
太早達 沸點 沸點
太激烈 會熄滅 發展緩慢 這一次
要堅持 去感受 每點 每點
隔三日 見一面 儲足難耐 再相見

Hong Kong, we believe it is time for a change.
Us - Regina Spektor
They made a statue of us
And it put it on a mountain top
Now tourists come and stare at us
Blow bubbles with their gum
Take photographs for fun, for fun
They'll name a city after us
And later say it's all our fault
Then they'll give us a talking to
Then they'll give us a talking to
Because they've got years of experience
We're living in a den of thieves
Rummaging for answers in the pages
We're living in a den of thieves
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
We wear our scarves just like a noose
But not 'cause we want eternal sleep
And though our parts are slightly used
New ones are slave labor you can keep
We're living in a den of thieves
Rummaging for answers in the pages
We're living in a den of thieves
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
They made a statue of us
They made a statue of us
The tourists come and stare at us
The sculptor's mama sends regards
They made a statue of us
They made a statue of us
Our noses have begun to rust
We're living in a den of thieves
Rummaging for answers in the pages
Were living in a den of thieves
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
They made a statue of us
And it put it on a mountain top
Now tourists come and stare at us
Blow bubbles with their gum
Take photographs for fun, for fun
They'll name a city after us
And later say it's all our fault
Then they'll give us a talking to

Gromley's back!
Attended Antony Gormley's talk 2 months ago in Hong Kong.
He is also having fun in the Alps!
100 Life-Size Cast Iron Figures by Antony Gormley Installed by Helicopter in the Austrian Alps
And I saw something on the side.... might as well click it... the title doesn't look too bad.
Stunning Nudes by Photographer Rankin at Annroy Gallery, London
