Walk to Get a Malasada
Automobile gives us convenience to commute to destinations quickly. When driving in a car, we aim at accomplishing something by arriving at the destination, to get a malasada, to meet our date and client, to work, to pick up a child, to get a burger or a cup of coffee? Our mind is set to the destination and the task, and it is enhanced with our culture of speed. When I spend time to walk to my destination, I find myself tardy and slow, yet it is another world of discovery. I still aim at arriving at a destination, yet there will be much distractions that pull me away from my focus on the destination. I will see more interesting things in the new pace. There is actually more fun, and my body gets the work out as well! At the end, I arrive at my destination, and accomplish what I need to do. The 'loss' in time transforms to another form of enertainment and knowledge, something that I may never relize when I drive.

Grandma recovered!
After a long-term sickness in the holiday season, grandma has recovered, and started to joke again! Thank you all for your prayers!

Memoery
I looked through my photo albums today from 1987 to today. I just found that my memoery is pretty bad.
I looked at many photos, and I really wished someone would tell me who those people were. I know most of the faces, although not all. However, I just cannot remember their names. This not so far back, just....year 1989. How can't I forget? Once upon a time, they were my good friends, and that's why I have their photos, but who are they? I can't even find them on Facebook!
I don't remember anything on Po Lin Temple of Lantau Island in Hong Kong. Yet, I found from the photos that I have been there!
I don't have any collection that I have been to Silver Mine Bay in Hong Kong. Yet, I actually biked along the Bay!
Let's talk about fashion. My taste never changed much. I like to wear shirts and pants/jeans at all times. I think I always dressed too old for my age.
Birthday photos are plenty, and I am thankful for my family. Every year, there is a cake, except in recent years, I requested no cakes.
But, again, who were those people? My friends, where are they now, and what are their names? I want to sent them the photos and pick up the funny stories that they happen to remember! That's usually my sisters' function.
Photos without memory is trash.
