San Jose Obon 2008










Full set here.

++

The days are flying by so quickly I hardly have any time to reflect. There's so much going through my mind at any given time, I wish I can jot them down in some semblance of order. In a little more than a couple of months it will be a year since my move out west. I'm just riding the wave, letting it take me where it will.

I feel so much.

Currently ruminations:

Buddhism and meditation
contact lenses
archery

Fanciful projects I want to do but might not ever happen due to lack of time and or motivation or just sheer procrastination:

6x6 paintings of peonies
a script for a short film
photo missions
annual cook-off

Asian American International Film Festival 2008

seeking you: a love letter to hong kong



directed by Jean-Julien Pous

that's just the teaser for the film, the actual short film is currently touring the festival circuits.
here's a wonderful little writeup of "making-of" for the film, it makes me giddy to find that many of this film's inspirations and influences were some of my favorites too (namely Astor Piazzola, Mind Games Studio 4˚C, Satoshi Kon's Tokyo Godfathers, and WongKarWai).

insomnia

想起我不完美 你會不會
逃離我生命的範圍
想著你的滋味 我會不會
把這個枕頭 變得甜美
想起白天的約會 忘了晚上的咖啡
只怕感情如潮水 遠離我夢中的堡壘
一個人失眠 全世界失眠
無辜的街燈 守候明天
幸福的失眠 只是因為害怕閉上眼
如何想你想到六點 如何愛你愛到終點

想起我的時候 你會不會 好像我一樣不能睡
想像你的曖昧 我會不會 數不到綿羊 一雙一對
想起白天的約會 忘了晚上的咖啡
只怕感情如潮水 遠離我夢中的堡壘
一個人失眠 全世界失眠
無辜的街燈 守候明天
幸福的失眠 只是因為害怕閉上眼 如何想你想到六點
一個人失眠 全世界失眠
幸福的失眠 只是因為害怕閉上眼 如何想你想到六點
如何愛你愛到終點 如何愛你愛到終點

One of my many favorites of Eason's music. Though as much as I give him respect for making the songs sound so good, I give more props to the composer/writers of those songs. Particularly for this song, written by 林夕, original name 梁偉文 Albert Leung. He's written for a lot of big names in HK and have been doing so for many years. I really like the lyrics for this song.

Thinking of my imperfections, would you leave my life's surrounding
thinking of your taste, would this pillow become any sweeter
thinking of meeting in the day, forgetting the night's coffee
only fearing feelings, like the tide, waning from my fortress in dreams

one person losing sleep, the whole world losing sleep
innocent street lamp, awaiting tomorrow
the happiness of insomnia, is because only fearing in closing my eyes,
how will I think of you till 6, how will I love you till the end

The times when you think of me, would you be like me and not sleep
thinking of  your warmth, would I be unable to count sheep, a pair a couple
thinking of meeting in the day, forgetting the night's coffee
only fearing feelings, like the tide, would wane from my fortress in dreams

one person's insomnia is the whole world's insomnia
innocent street lamp, awaiting tomorrow
the happiness of insomnia, is because only fearing in closing my eyes,
how will I think of you till 6, how will I love you till the end
how will I love you till the end

obviously translations are always a bit tricky, there are expressions in the Chinese language that no English can ever express.

Soleil on the F

New Yorkers being rude and cold-hearted is a big fat myth. Anyone who thinks so are vastly misinformed.
