海南岛寻根之旅

2012年4月24-29日，续去年十月，我又来到了海南岛。此行的目的是拜访居住文昌的亲戚，也是去看看外公的出生地。
久闻文昌之名。风水学上所指的文昌位既是利于学习的方位。文昌出了多位名人，文雅之士。既然不知道家中文昌位在哪里，倒不如投身文昌县来得干脆，慕名地感染一些书卷味实际一点哈哈。。


这是文昌老街。翻新了的店屋看起来古色古香，有点投身黄飞鸿电影里的情结。特别是那一块块的牌碘让人有点想拆招牌的冲动=P


走着走着看到一个宁静的小道停放着一辆电单车。太阳光25度的照射下把街道一分为二，有了阳光与阴暗的一面。看起来很有feel~ 而我当然是躲在阴暗的一面拍照啦呵呵。。


沿着老街的街道继续走着，发现一间照相馆很有新加坡60年代的味道。特别是店主在店前扮演的角色，很酷哈哈。海南岛的天气实在是热。室内戴帽子也不足为奇呀。

有几天的行程是到乡下去拜访亲戚还有祭祖。买了香烛，鞭炮，到了外公的出身村子里。迎面来的都是村里热情的叔叔阿姨们。大家互相陶关系。还有一个有年纪的阿婆过来问候外公说是外公年轻时青梅竹马的玩儿伴呢。。事隔那么多年也还记忆犹新。


在亲戚的家品尝他们自家养，文昌县长大的文昌鸡，地地道道的文昌鸡饭！鸡肉有弹性，有嘬劲，很有味道。鸡肉带有甘甜味，自然的味道，柑榜的味道。


祭祖过后都要燃放鞭炮让声音传达到祖先那让他们知道我们来了=)


满地的鞭炮花瓣。。老旧的百年古屋，富有历史的背景让我有种跨越时空地错觉。微风渐起，花瓣飘逸，青烟袅袅，这样的画面也只有这里才有。


每次出国看到可爱的小孩都会忍不住掏出相机按下快门把小孩纯真的一面拍下。这小孩静静地望着远方像是在期待些什么。没有新加坡孩子玩的ipad也没有变形金刚的玩具。可能最能取悦于他的莫过于亲人的拥抱和好奇心的满足。


两个小孩在帮忙做家务？非也。玩扫把倒是真的哈哈。。


新加坡看到的猪都是肢解的-_-" 原来猪也有开心的时候。笑起来也很可爱。看到我贴近拍照也很配合。乐得发出猪叫声。


机场离别时和远道从文昌赶来海口送机的亲戚们合影。11点半的飞机据说他们8点就到机场了。比住在海口的我们早到了2个钟头。他们那么早起身远程相送。。感动啊。

这6天5夜的海南岛之旅让我对人生又有了不一样的体会。读万卷书不如行万里路，我是越行越过瘾了哈哈。。

CREATIVE WAY OF LOCKING

As i was walking back home from lunch, i saw an interesting sight. A creative way of locking the metal gate to the roof top ..




This is the gate leading to the Roof top where the water tanks and other installations are. Remember there had been reporting of corpse discovered in the water
tank of the woodland hdb blk? yes.. thats why we need double security to ensure the gate is properly lock.. however do we really have double security with
two lock interlocking as shown?

I start to ponder.. interestingly anyone has either key to the lock can open the gate. just wondering who came out with this brilliant idea lol..

or maybe its for precaution that if one lost one of the key, there still a spare key for the other lock.. I still remembered after the woodland incident that a huge
amount of money was spent to purchase high quality locks .. not sure if its out of the tax payer money. but certainly this way of locking is worth my time
sharing here hahaa..

喝杯茶吃個包子

有時我們會說：＂甚麼時候有空約出來喝杯茶吃個包子？＂ 可是吃的真的是包子喝的真的是茶嗎？
可能古時候人們的選擇不多。換到現在，coffee bean, Starbucks, Gloria jean 等連鎖店遍佈世界各地。口中說的包子已不再是包子.. 當然消費也不便宜。



今天有空餘的時間坐下來喝杯茶吃個包子，只花$1，賺到啦。返古歸真，吃出的不是茶和包子，吃出的是一種文化，一個回顧，一份牽引我寫下此刻心境的靈感。包子吃完了，茶剩半杯不多。再飲一口，滿足了。

一份下午茶可以很簡單。或許在這方面我是容易滿足的人吧=）

Crazy Shopping @ Suntec

went shopping at Suntec last night. passed through the very expensive ERP of temasek boulevard at 6.30pm caused me $3! but I'm very glad for the per entry
parking of $2.20 at Suntec after 5pm hahaa.. that means I can shop for the next 3 hours till it close.
hence i spent the next few hours browsing, trying clothes, jeans at Levi's, denizen, dockers, newlook and T.M Lewin being the most expensive.




tried a few designs and took pictures in the changing room. I actually made the staff waited for me outside the changing room for quite sometime haa..

I wonder if I continue to blog on latest fashion, will I get any sponsors for my clothing as I blog to market their new arrivals .. then I can turn to be a
professional blogger haa..

of all the items I bought, I specially like the bottom right long sleeve with true hoody. causal yet presentable for most occassion and need not worry for
raining days. the Levi's tee was smooth and comfortable too but costed regular price of $49.90 .. exactly the same price as the hoody shirt =P
