Plants

My plants are growing strong. Might not flower as often but they're still very healthy.



Remember the HK twins? They're not only sprouting new baby leaves, but those baby leaves are growing fast too!




This is the orchid from Malaysia. It's still a baby.

London Responds

So the authorities say it is a Terrorist Attack, thus the public believe it is and responds accordingly. I rather like this piece.

A Letter To The Terrorists, From London
July 07, 2005

What the fuck do you think you're doing?

This is London. We've dealt with your sort before. You don't try and pull this on us.

Do you have any idea how many times our city has been attacked? Whatever you're trying to do, it's not going to work.

All you've done is end some of our lives, and ruin some more. How is that going to help you? You don't get rewarded for this kind of crap.

And if, as your MO indicates, you're an al-Qaeda group, then you're out of your tiny minds.

Because if this is a message to Tony Blair, we've got news for you. We don't much like our government ourselves, or what they do in our name. But, listen very clearly. We'll deal with that ourselves. We're London, and we've got our own way of doing things, and it doesn't involve tossing bombs around where innocent people are going about their lives.

And that's because we're better than you. Everyone is better than you. Our city works. We rather like it. And we're going to go about our lives. We're going to take care of the lives you ruined. And then we're going to work. And we're going down the pub.

So you can pack up your bombs, put them in your arseholes, and get the fuck out of our city.

London Chaos

Today London has been hit with major chaos. The London Underground stood still after experiencing explosions at major stations within the city, and double decker buses blew apart on different spots within the city.

There will be major ramifications to this Terrorist act.

Natural Curl 自然捲

I was introduced to 自然捲(zi ran juan) whilst on a 2day trip to the capital of Taiwan, Taipei. 自然捲 means natural curl.

I vividly remember the band 自然捲 gave a breath taking live performance at the 女巫店 WitchHouse. It was a brilliant performance, I was moved by the tunes & atmosphere conjured that I bought their album C'est La Vie on the spot.


Their tunes are simple, contemporary, but not lacking originality. They tend to bring a sense of playfulness to their sounds & lyrics. Definitely makes a relaxing listening.

I like these sketches of the 2 main artists on the band.

One thing both me and the other friend who bought the album have come to agree is that the live performance was filled with much 'umph' & 'essence' that the album lacked the ability to capture. Oh well, suppose that is why they have live performances right?

Listening to this album now brings back fun memories with my crazy buddies in Hong Kong. The whirlwind trip was dubbed the 'Crazy Taipei' trip for the mad schedule.
