Follow the Sun

I love to walk alone, usually between 2:30 to 6:30pm, starting from where I am, no plan, no destination, nothing in hand, as "light" as I can. 

I walk slow, just follow the sun, see if it can bring me to some place of mystery? busy? or tranquil... I feel the air, the breeze & temperature that change along my steps, in the shade? along the road? or outside a
cafe...

I open my nose, to suck in any aroma in the wind; I keep on listening, to any tiny sound or echo that may leads me to their place.  I look around, to the face of all strangers that passes by, wondering what they are having in their mind?......when the color of the sun turns into golden orange, my journey end.

I stop when I am, walk back to when I was, leaving the sun, return to reality... this, is the refreshment treat of my life, simply move on.

又愛又恨的桃紅色 Blossom red

桃紅色 : 從來不是我的喜好,尤其是當它穿在身上時, 如果配搭得不好, 總有點土氣. 但奇怪的是, 那天......一個黃昏時段, 在澳門街頭, 我被這個"小桃紅"深深吸引着.

柔和的斜陽把濃豔的桃紅中和了, 顯得嬌嫩,沒有半點土氣, 很舒服. 我想, 更重要的是因為還有綠葉做背景, 最後由重質感的石階完成襯托. 就這麼簡單, 大自然就是隨時隨地的設計教室,而且更是免費的呢!


Blossom red - not my cup of tea, especially when we wear them, a dangerous color that may become cheap looking & old fashion if less effort are made while mix & match. But in that wonderful evening at Macau, I was deeply attracted by these gorgeous red. 

Soft golden beam slightly fallen onto these blooming hydrangea, gently balance the overall red cheek; with fresh green leaves as backdrop sitting onto the contrasting stone parapet wall. Simple and comfortable, that's the way the nature is telling us, a design studio to keep us learning any where, any time + it's FREE !

 

Christmas is coming......

It's almost a months time of my sudden "break", although things haven't been settled yet, God give us comfort and angels around...see? Christmas is coming again......

Christmas tree, sparkling decoration, heart touching gift,  yummy Christmas dinner,  party and laughter everywhere; it's a good moment for us to enjoy with our family & lover, the best festival that I've love most, especially to Christians like myself - a special day that Jesus entered into human history that change our life.

I took this photo in Macau of May, 2011 ; there are many times for me to think of what post should it goes with? The mood it gives to me is a kind of "sad, lonely & blue" , but it also brings my remembrance of New Year,  those light bulbs hanging in front of western restaurant in the 60's-70's ; subtle, not eye catching, just a few of them... swinging in the air, waiting for a new start.

Sometimes, we may not be the guest of a fabulous Christmas party or can be gather with our family in front of the fireplace; but you can lit a few of these light bulbs into your heart, carry with them wherever you are, they can still bring you wishes and "40w" to warm you in this cold Winter - although a bit early, a small gift to you all, Merry Christmas !

              

Welcome

Hi Claire,

Welcome to Cocoa Design Life, hope you can have your relaxing moment here :)

Pause

Most of the time we plan our next move, next target, achievement , project...big or small, travel destination, goal of this year end......

Sometimes, we have to stop, on purpose or by accident; everything have to pause, till when? no forecast, all depends......

It seems so frustrating to things happen that are not according to our plan, or even without any signal in advance; but this is life, keep changing and learning.

We are facing the same situation and you may notices by our rare post.  How's going? 

Have faith in God & wait, act your part & he will lead you, sun to warm you, breeze to refresh you, shade to protect you and support to guide you through.

Coffee Diary 08

It's almost three, I'm here, once again after ten years, with you. You look brand new, but taste no different, sour & bitter......

It's so quiet, no one except the faint breathe of them with the loneliness equipment, dic, dic, dic, dic.......

Almost six hours, tonight is so long, time freeze! Tonight, I don't have the feeling of relax, even you are here, but at least, I am awake, and I need to. 

Thanks......my dear friend !

原裝可口可樂

相信冇咩人會唔認得可口可樂個樽，即使係８０後或９０後也好，都應該對呢個咁有代表性嘅產品有所認識；至少要知道大樽裝好飲過罐裝呀！

最得意嘅係無論“世界怎麼變”．．．屹立在澳門嘅呢個大樽都冇變，係啲人唔得閒去理呢定係冇人想改變呢？

始終由細飲到大嘅可樂，真係會令我哋多少有啲親切感，就算而家有檸檬味，無糖，又或者曾經有過嘅呍呢拿，車厘子味等，都比唔上呢支原裝可口可樂．

所以話廣告效力強大，一啲都冇誇張，最緊要仲係由細灌輸入“口”，咁到佢長大成人之後，仍然會係你嘅忠實ＦＡＮＳ．雖然有啲無良，不過都係搵餐晏仔姐：Ｐ
