let X speak for X-self

The dinner conversation with a group of runners revolved around training frequency, training location, shoes, attire and of course, timing.

The young chap in the group said a senior runner’s advice went something like this: (Doesn’t matter what you wear)… Let the timing speak for itself.

I can’t help but link it to the class on Tues - the uncles who think they’ve shot more than I’ve drank milk. This is a funny analogy, but that was how I felt.

It wasn’t until the shots came out and until the prints are done that they realise they speak more than they shoot.

One of them spoke about his collection of 10 cameras, comprising leica, hasselblad, lubitel. And how he criticised that my rollei is “not good enough” (“80mm, f2.8 is best!”).

What is the point of collecting so many cameras when the shots are lousy? Having many cameras make you a collector, not a photographer!

Let the photos speak for themselves. Really.

Ok… fine…

The gist of the story is:

Someone has been very unhappy with me -

• called me on a Saturday morning at 7am so that I cannot go for Lasik in Aug citing reasons that it’s non-critical surgery and I had to cover colleagues’ work; 
• started throwing ALL work to me, even though the work should be done by fellow colleagues;  
• nitpicked on my work;
• questioned on where and what I did on my leave (it’s only 2 days); and
• even conducted a postmortem without me, when I was the one who did the work.

Fine.

Now Someone wants to go on a study trip next week, but the person involved in the project is unable to go because he is going on a trip. And as the covering person, I’m supposed to go. Fine. But Someone said I don’t have to go since I am also going away on the last day of the trip. Fine Fine.  So the baton gets passed around and no one wants to go. And now colleagues are blaming me because Someone said it’s ok and I don’t have to go since I am going away.

The best part of the story is the study trip is not confirmed.

The conclusion is:  It’s really time to go.

美丽的榜鹅尾

这个地方充满我成长的回忆。
它是我度过快乐的童年的地方，更是我小时候的“地盘”。

随着时代的变迁，榜鹅尾的海岸线不断的扩张，我曾经踏过的一草一土早已不在。

蜕变中的榜鹅尾：

依然美丽的晚霞：

拍照当天 (除#9,#10 #11 以外), 天下着毛毛细雨. 灰蒙蒙的天空,画出了我重回这个地方的心情.

colours of the sky

I can’t get to sleep after waking up.
This is the dunno-how-many-th time in the past 2 weeks. Many things are biting me, and those must be the cause of this syndrome.

Decided to pick out some colours

Work is biting me!
Shot it with my iphone, and digitally developed it as Black & white.

开心的

是不是该说真话时，就应该说真话？就算是真话是伤人的话？还是就该不说话， 或说谎话？

开心的是：

反复重读, 才发现，是自己一次又一次弄错了…

我想…只有摄影才可以把时间的脚步留下. 但是,瞎子又怎样拍照? 可笑也
