HK tourist series - 橫州角洞

Today I had a tiny wish fullfilled and a dream broken - I visited a cave. 橫州角洞 lying in the East Sea is one of the 200 outlying islands in Hong Kong. We rode a small boat, overloaded with 8 nuts, bouncing on the waves towards the cave. In the blink of an eye, my excitement completely vanished. There was nothing inside the cave besides a tiny rocky shore. Feeling disappointed enough, we changed our focus to a sumptuous lunch at Leung Shuen Wan Sea Urchin Farm (糧船灣海膽養殖場) In front of a Tin Hau temple, while fishermen were busy drying fish under the sun, a legendary sea urchin appeared on our table. The display-only cute little creature was indescribably delicious! Plump sea-urchins Sashimi is only served in December, 30HKD per piece. After losing our second hope, we were led to a deserted village, if not astray. At Tim Tin Tsai (鹽田梓), anything abandoned can be a scenic spot: houses, a church, a well, and even graves. The only amusement of today's trip was the 2-hour-thrill-ride home. Many fell seasick.

Returning to downtown, it is an exciting world in a different sense.

Soki's film will be launched worldwide. He enthusiastically announced this piece of news. If I was him, probably I'd be filled with the same extent of excitement - the joy springing from a fruitful harvest.

Alles Auf Zucker

Heute fand ein Filmabend im Fringe Club statt. Alles auf Zucker ist der zweite Film, den ich diese Woche gesehen habe. Er soll eine unorthodoxe Komödie sein. Den Humor verstand ich leider nicht so richtig. Der deutshe Konsul war auch da. Es war schon der zweite Mal, der ich ihn in diesem Monat traf. Eigentlich rege ich darüber nicht auf. Er ist aber eine nette Person.

Grapefruit diet receipt

Background: A month ago, I got this "grapefruit diet receipt" from my mom, and we decided to experiment with it. Method: I followed the receipt below for 2 weeks, not very strictly though (because of the "14-day tea-marathon" in my office) Result: I did take off 5 pounds while following the receipt, but I re-gained the lost weight after returning to a normal diet. Future work: To figure out this - 5 Essential Weight Loss Foods ----------8<--------------------------------------- Diet receipt from hospital (so they say) If you follow this diet receipt, in 2.5 months, you can lose 52 pounds. Eat according to this receipt for consecutive 12 days, stop for 2 day. If necessary, repeat this schedule. Except the grapefruit for lunch or dinner, you may eat any amount of food listed on this receipt until you are full. Breakfast: - 1/2 grapefruit (or juice) no sugar - 2 eggs (any cooking method) - 2 slices of bacon Lunch: - 1/2 grapefruit (or juice) no sugar - salad (any sauce) - meat (any cooking method) Dinner: - 1/2 grapefruit (or juice) no sugar - meat (any cooking method, prefer fish) - EITHER Green/red vegetables OR salad (any sauce) If necessary, you may drink 1 cup of low-caffeine coffee or mild tea Snacks: 1 cup of tomato juice OR skim-milk Detailed instructions：

1. Don't deduct any food from the receipt, especially bacon or salad, because the diet receipt relies on the chemical effects produced by a particular food mix to burn fat. Grapefruit is very important - the key for fat burning, and thus cannot be omitted.
2. Take less coffee, because this would affect the pancreas and slow down the fat-burning process.
3. Don't eat or drink anything not listed on this receipt (except water). You shouldn't be feeling hungry if you follow this diet receipt.
4. No desserts, no bread
5. Vegetables exclude: white vegetables, sweet potato, potato, white onion, and celery. Vegetables include: red chili, carrots, onion (red or green), tomato, brocolli, radish, 青瓜, cucumber, white cabbage, iceberg cabbage, spinach.

Note: You may eat any kind of meat, salad, and vegetables. You may also cook them with butter, but absolutely no sugar, starch, or any fat-producing food. Result: The receipt above could help you reduce 10 pounds in 10 days. Under normal circumstances, you will observe weight reduction on the 1st day, but you will take off 5 pounds on the 5th day, and every 1/2 pound every 2 days, and so on.

"Principle of Laplace corollary"

My mind has been occupied by a weird thought this whole week: "The strength of reason for an extraordinary decision must be proportioned to its extremeness", inspired by the principle of Laplace and this map: After formulating those empirical laws, let me stop to over-analyze and over-plan.

Gründung Regional Chapter Hongkong

Am 19. September 2008 wurde anlässlich einer Reise von Wissenschaftsminister Prof. Dr. Peter Frankenberg in Begleitung von Rektoren der baden-württembergischen Universitäten und weiterer Hochschulen nach Hongkong ein Regional Chapter Hongkong gegründet. Das Gründungstreffen fand im Ramada Hotel Hong Kong statt. 21 Stipendiaten und Alumni aus Hongkong und Baden-Württemberg unterzeichneten in feierlichem Rahmen eine Gründungsurkunde und berieten über zukünftige Aktivitäten des Regional Chapters. Beim anschließenden Empfang des Wissenschaftsministers und des Stellvertretenden Deutschen Generalkonsuls im schönen Ambiente des Foreign Correspondents' Club nutzten die Gründungsteilnehmer die Gelegenheit zum persönlichen Austausch und zum Knüpfen von Kontakten.

Empirical laws of life

Law 1: "After I tell everyone I will go to (somewhere), finally I will not go there."

This is a generalization with some 3 support counts. My plan is passively changed. MS decided to send me to somewhere in Asia in Jan instead of Sydney in Oct, even though an interview slot was already assigned. Now, I don't have to worry how to fly to 2 distanced destinations within 4 days of annual leave.

Law 2: "What seems initially impossible/difficult becomes an available option in the last minute"

Again, 3-4 support counts. My plan is semi-actively changed. Persistence nor faith is not always required, the final outcome sometimes depends just on luck? Such unpredictable is my life. N.B.: and some more laws

餓不死的小孩

在老媽的眼中，我永遠都是個小孩。星期一，她在出門前堆了一冰箱的即食水餃，指導我如何使用洗衣機，又告訴我各種藥丸的位置，只擔心我不會照顧自己。 在二姑姑的眼中，我也是個小孩。她知道了爸媽要出門後，便叫我星期二至四到她家裡吃飯。她還問我一個人在家睡覺不會覺得害怕嗎？我有跟爸媽通電話嗎？ 在同事的眼中，我也是半個小孩。當她知道我一個人在家，又說我們可以一起弄晚飯。最後她只安排了我洗菜和洗碗。今天已經是星期五了，我還未有弄過一頓飯。 星期日，三姑姑又叫我到她外家吃中秋飯，叮囑表弟要帶我到荃灣。 對於大家的細心照料，我心裡又是感激、又是好笑。天啊，爸媽只是出門一星期罷了，為什麼大家都小題大作，好像我一個人會餓死的樣子？

When you say thank you to me, for some reason it hurts, Like a magic spell that doesn’t get undone even after the good bye. a hint of bitterness. The flavor of life

Stuck midpoint between friends and lovers, like an un-riped fruit dreaming about the day of harvest because of being unable to just move one more step forward what’s causing this frustration baby

When you say thank you to me, for some reason it hurts, Like a magic spell that doesn’t get undone even after the good bye. a hint of bitterness The flavor of life

Sweet talk and tasteless conversations. it sparks no interest in me even when things do not go the way you want it doesnt mean you’ve thrown your life away

When asked ‘ whats wrong?’ I answer ‘its nothing’ The smile that disappears after goodbye It’s unlike me

The more I wish to believe in you, For some reason it hurts even more ‘I like you a lot’ instead of ‘I love you’ sounds more like you the flavor of life

the period when you suddenly remember the scent of someone you had almost forgotten I want to be able to openly and honestly cherish the white purity of the falling snow more

A future tender and warmer than a diamond I want to grasp it, in this limited time we have, I want to spend it with you

when you say thank you to me, for some reason it hurts, Like a magic spell that doesnt get undone even after the good bye. a hint of bitterness The flavor of life
