志明与春娇相遇，吃饭喝酒。已有两年没法相遇， 因为大家schedule不同，她在北京他在香港。他在北京她在上海。过了几年奋斗，志明也有成绩，春娇也为他开心。非常欣慰。
今晚，他们无所不谈，说到身边的朋友，几个小孩，工作家庭状况，有谁结了婚，离了婚，回忆以前一起做过的傻事。。。。现在都渐渐步入中年，能在一起的时间还有多少。有家庭的，都忙着顾家；有的还在拼事业； 有的拼命寻找爱情；有的还在让他们担心着。 唯有不变的，是他们还顾着对方， 必尽大家都一起走过那段路程。 一段毕生难忘的旅程。
谈到他们自己时；发现原来这两年没法见面之余，是多长的一段时光。 对对方的关怀，都没改变。 只有怀念，多了一些些。也许相见的机会少了； 也或许因为大家都发现，他们从来都没停止过关怀对方。
他们为对方的现状干了一杯。他为了事业牺牲了婚姻， 她为了自己牺牲了爱情。他劝她寻找快乐；她劝他寻找幸福。 最后他们又为了所说的一切， 干了一杯。朋友， 大家要的其实很简单- 只要你幸福，我就很快乐。
大家都老了；能吃的也少了。他说怎么吃的那么少，她说因为上了年纪， 需要补充水分。 他们又干了一杯。他的确胃口小了。
到了离别时；都说不出什么关怀对方的话。也不敢拥抱。到底害怕什么呢，大家都说不出。眼神都表达了口里说不出的，心里挂念的；一切一切。
到了路口他们左右分道。就这样，永远就这样。潇洒的，利落的。下次见啦，打电话啊。OK 就这样，走啦！志明用着他那轻快脚步，走了。心里越是不舍，脚步越是更快。志明最害怕的是犹豫不决的徘徊； 哪怕心有多不舍，也不能让她察觉道。
今晚的香港气温有点低，也刮着一点风。 回酒店的路上，春娇把外套盖紧胸口， 后悔。 后悔没有拥抱；后悔没有勇气；后悔自己永远太乐观。走着走着， 眼睛不知觉的模糊了。
是伤感；是欣慰； 春娇也不晓得。只知道胸口酸酸的， 一阵一阵的痛。过了那么多年，那阵酸痛是说不出也忘不了的。春娇不敢回头， 一步一步，越走越远。
也许今晚；是香港那么多年来，最冷一天。
回到酒店，一个接一个短讯又把彼此的关怀温暖了这结冻的身躯。每次每年都是这样。。。朋友，你幸福我就快乐。累了，记得回来彼此的关怀中。。。。 这话就这样一直伴在身边。 Till we meet again, take care my friend, and I will be happy.

The months passed so quickly
It's been a hectic year so far to say the least. Half the year's come and gone, and there is less than enough time left of 2012.
Happy to catch up in one of my favourite cities in the world in April. Weather was great, food was fab, drinks were aplenty, and company was great. And visiting Otto was memorable! ( unfortunately photos do no justice which I shall not post here )
Visits to new art enclave
Coffee at Dan's
Handmade Chocs from HOF
Quaint quaint little place for artisanal coffee
Another view of the Bund area
Nice park with the old disused railway tracks
Beer beer beer!
Start of a frenzied night of drinks
Yakitori at a faraway place. Nice!
I finally got my camera upgrade during this trip.
May 2012
Finally a big 40 secret birthday celebration planned for months came to fruition in this month. All that secret collaboration, that planning that suspense.... phew it was a big bang. And a lovely one at that. Loved it! Happy Birthday my love, the start of a better phase in life - enjoy!
June 2012
A long awaited for visit to an old friend in Melbourne. Glad to know things were slowly turning out, while at the same time there are many things that fill the heart that cannot be heard.
Lovely alley where we got great coffee this trip
And we ticked off a bucket list item - NZ road trip. It probably held many firsts for me, but I have to say God made this the most beautiful piece of land on earth that I have ever been to.
Lake Tekapo and Pukaki
Sunrise
Moeraki beach
My first Bungy, my first sky dive. 18 years late....

清明2012
今天回家扫墓，又是一年的清明节。
烈日当空，我当然又是把防嗮膏涂得满脸满身都是，以防万一嘛。还喷了一身的防蚊剂。
妈妈吩咐的， 该买的都买了， 只差一些拜祭品，所以带父母亲买去。妈妈买些什么金银纸的，我却买了刷子， 和一顶草帽， 打算扮个农夫装扫墓去。
爸爸在途中问我 “还记得公公坟墓在哪吗？有没有在那个东西里面？” 指的是GPS。 原来他还记得3年前我把公公婆婆坟墓位置锁定在GPS里， 不怕以后找不到。之后他便对这东西叹为观止。
浩浩荡荡的到了坟前， 看妈妈把肉干，可乐， 薯片， 水果一一摆出来祭拜。 她说“以后我goodbye了， 你们千万不要买什么鸡鸭肉的。 买些你们要吃的， 还有我的toffee糖， coke和KFC就好了。 记得啊哈！” 相信可以的话， 她也会把雪糕也带来。
爸爸的确上了年纪， 没办法跪下上香， 也没法蹲下烧金银纸。 2年前他还和我洗洗刷刷的没问题。也还和我一起把坟碑上的字迹给加了色。今天他说，阿妈喜欢的XX纸没买吗？ 他指的是婆婆生前爱烧的一种karma纸。 说是有助轮回什么的。 妈妈回“不懂啦，现在摩登的， 一套一套卖， 像套餐一样。 他们卖什么我就买咯”
当时近中午， 袅袅香烟把我快熏昏了， 还看到爸爸在检查蜡烛品质， 金银纸大小， 发现原来少了他一向习惯祭拜的XX纸。 他摇摇头。
妈妈一面忙着烧香，念经， 一边赶着我们快点， 太阳嗮，也告诉公公婆婆， 保佑全家大小， 平安吉祥， 事业有成， 身体健康。
当我开始洗刷时，妈妈又说哎呀别忙了， 明年来又是肮脏的。我就说很快很快的， 便马马虎虎的把青苔给刷掉， 冲冲水。 爸爸说明年带多点水， 还有一台冷气机，电冰箱， 就没这么辛苦啦。他也说去曼谷买真金纸贴在碑上会很好看。
上香时，我告诉婆婆会上5束 - 哥哥的，姐姐的， 还有曾孙的。（哎呀原来忘了内曾孙那份！）然后一阵酸涌上心头， 以后有哪个曾孙会来呢？ 有哪个来过呢？
拜祭后，走回车子途中， 看见父母小心翼翼的走过那些凹凸不平的小山路， 手里紧拿着拜祭品， 口里喊着对我说 快点走，天气热， 不用等我， 先上车。
到了车上， 妈妈不停说把鞋子放报纸上， 别弄脏车子。 然后问我们饿吗，想吃什么之类的。没过5分钟， 一场倾盆大雨便哗啦啦下起来， 把刚才那闷热的下午 给清洗一番。 爸爸说，时间刚刚好， 阿嘛等你拜好才下雨。
到家时雨也停了。 妈妈忙着弄些吃的， 把东西收拾好， 抹地洗刷，又是一些做不完的工作。 我和爸爸就翘翘脚，看报纸， 喝咖啡。
吃了晚餐， 我便匆忙赶回家， 害怕堵车。当然我知道他们是多希望我能多陪陪他们， 难得回家， 但口中永远是“快回家把， 家里很多东西要做. 有空才回来，没空不要回来”
一个人在回家途中， 我告诉上帝， 我真的真的愿意用我40年生命换我父母长命百岁。
踏进家门，看见那双从来没洗过的破鞋子， 被妈妈在我喝咖啡时， 给刷的干干净净了。

Life's little coincidence
It was such a pleasant little surprise when I found that I had my first Muller Thurgau earlier this year in Sep!
