The wood cotton flowers are beginning to bloom, but it was still chilly in the air when I went out to play with my first SLR. One that someone brought me that I spent some quick moments to learn to play with. My life was in an odd chaos, stricken by shoulder injury and asthma. Hanging on to a new toy, like a baby hanging on to a security blanket, I carried my camera in the car where ever I went. I like the greyish sky, it is melancholy, serene, calm and emotionless. The wood cotton season was just beginning, like the seeds of hope, it will appear, not yet, but I know, they will burst into flames in a few weeks and fall. Then their seeds, wrapped in white hair, will softly float afar in the summer wind, carrying the wonderful memory of its heritage with them. A new generation will begin.
Change is the only thing that does not change. However, some old recipes from way back always bring back the fond memory of warm laughter from my dad's dining room table. For Ah-Gong and Po-Po's favorite children.改變是唯一不會改變的事。但是,這些老食譜,總是帶回餐桌上溫暖笑聲的親切回憶。這原本是女兒初出國念書時,想念媽媽廚房,以知難行易為軸,草書安慰思鄉腸胃的食譜,逐漸擴增。更納入朋友們的拿手佳餚分享。

chaos and order
