Having to move reluctantly, I had to throw away stuffs which tells a lot of my "previous life".
Bought these blank masks a few years ago to play with my son. I would ask him to tell me what to draw on the faces and did it in front of him. It was great fun with lots of laughters. Other times, I would draw something inspired by Damien Hirst or other classic paintings, or simply drew something out of the blue. Search Google for "Chinese Opera Masks" to see how colorful they can be!
I remember a time in my secondary school years when my parents forbade me to be a photographer, artist, musician or painter. My Dad's home was filled with great Chinese paintings and he talked a lot about these painters. Under the radar, I had to secretly borrow a camera to take pictures, signed up for a Chinese painting class from a well known master and bought these pigments and brushes, etc. Why this conflicting practice from my parents? My Dad loves Chinese paintings and he made a living buying and selling them. He spent a lot of time studying painters' life and how they evolved, authenticating them, putting them to auctions in Christie's and Sotheby's. In his words "great painters lives terrible lives and only after they are dead do people take advantage of their talents". Painstakingly sad and most of the time truthful. I must show you some of my previous Chinese paintings later on. These dishes and pigments are really important to me even though I haven't touched them for over 15 years. They are the past but the image is forever.
My little brother brought a sand block for sculpture and he only crafted the word JULY on it, it was also like 15 years ago. After reading an English novel with a tag line "It's like touching fantasy" I took this sand block and crafted something out of it. It was then placed in my Macquarium for a long time. Wow, it was over 10 years ago since I made the Color Classic Forever web site and "blogged" about my creation and mis-fortunes. New York Times even told my little story:
Exerpt of the New York Times article printed on August 24, 2000
Patrick Ng, an Internet executive in Hong Kong, has taken his obsession to more lyrical heights. A vice president at PacificDotCom, Mr. Ng has documented his self-diagnosed case of "CCFS" (Color Classic Fixation Syndrome) on his amusing Web site, Color Classic Forever (grus.hkstar.com /patrickn/colorclassic). The story began in October 1998, when Mr. Ng saw a photo of the Color Classic. He alerted a newsgroup to his quest for one and visited several shops until he found a dirty nonworking model.
After giving it a scrub, Mr. Ng rhapsodized in a diary entry on his site: "I now see the uncompromising beauty and elegance of CC even more obviously, it simply shines. As this mystic discovery continues, my super-ego seems to warn me the danger of the game, the emotional attachment to a physical object."
On New Year's Eve, while others were partying, Mr. Ng was otherwise occupied, as a later diary entry showed: "I embraced the dusted classic during the countdown. The rest of that night, perhaps I should say the rest of the millennium, I gradually slipped away and fell into a deep trance, everything went blurred except a single point of vision, I naturally put that point on the shining Color Classic."
He then decided that he wanted the machine to carry his child, "to give her life," he wrote. As it turned out, Mr. Ng's "child" is his Siamese fighting fish, Faust, who now swims in an aquarium installed in the Color Classic's chassis.
Cured of his obsession, Mr. Ng now keeps his Macquarium in his office, which overlooks Hong Kong. "I receive e-mails from all over the world asking about Faust," he said. "He's doing fine."
If you want to create a Macquarium, check out my version 1.1 and version 2.0instructions. Hmmmm.... want to see me naked with Color Classic? Here it is "Born Naked With Color Classic.
It was important to me and part of them still is. Notes from my Psychology/physiology/research method classes and my Philosophy classes. I particularly had a tough time in Philosophy classes being the only Chinese student there, unable to verbalize my thoughts and participate in discussions, I often got below average marks. I enjoyed the late night studies particularly, there is a point when you give up trying to get pass and start to study for the real meaning of life. Super fun! Unforgettable!
I couldn't throw away my blackboard though. I love the rawness, the sound of chalk on board reminds me of school life, the perfect circle my secondary school math teacher drew..... it is the essence of learning to me. Simple tools to pass along knowledge.

Learning to hate: because the sweetest words
Were only there to fill the inner gaps
Of our mutual temptation. Play some chords
And I will sing the song, weaving the traps.
The sky is turning, and the taste is sour.
We left the glassful out at night. An urn
That we forgot about: it was not our
Habit to care for it, but let it burn.
Now, if I look at me – reflected bits –
I see the face of someone in distress.
My mouth is firm, my eyes no more than slits
I am a pawn in my own game of chess.
All that I wanted was, of course, what you despised
Hate comes in waves and storming, with silver needles, iced.

Miscellaneous notes on this:
- other possible notes to Apple:
I didn't pay enough for my iPad 2. Here are two more dollars to compensate.
We are learning that if each Apple goodie cost two dollars more, the conditions in Chinese plants would be right and proper. I mean this money to help and hope you will charge more from now on.
- can you think of a good note? please add your ideas in the Comments window, below.
July 2, 2012-
This page was published in the May edition of YES! Magazine- issue 62.
___
- George mentioned a problem with this idea that would limit the response: Americans are mad at China for taking our jobs and don't want to help them.
- fair enough, but our problem is with policy makers in China and American corporations. we're not out to hurt Chinese workers. ( in fact, there are tent cities outside of Chinese plants, filled with people waiting to get these awful jobs. it's a mess from both sides. )
- in fact, if conditions improve in China, some jobs will come back to the States.
- that is already happening in cases where rising shipping and labor costs are changing the equation. see next page...
___
- one of the awful policies of Chinese management is to pay low wages in order to force people to work more hours. talk about a devil-deal.
___
- i have an odd connection to this problem:
- in 1984- the first year of the little, stand-up Macintosh- i was an Apple developer.
- i made the first scanned image software for the Mac that came from outside the company. we were shipping in March. ( it was called, "Clip 1". )
- Apple liked it.
- they ordered four hundred copies as Christmas presents for their factory workers. that factory was in Silicon Valley. *
___
- you can bet that the PR department at Apple approached management a year ago- or four years ago- with the problem of working conditions in China. they advised that it would be cheap to make it right, now, and expensive to play catch-up later.
___
- [ i didn't mail the note in the picture. saw a typo and made a text correction. the rewrite goes like this:
"Hi, Apple Folks-
I didn't pay enough for my iPad 2. The working conditions at Foxconn make that clear.
Please apply this money to the problem and charge 2 dollars more in the future."
I think that Apple marketers will object to a price change that goes above the standard "$1.99" tactic. On the contrary, running the price above the standard is a plus in this case. The word will get out what the extra charge is about. Apple has an expensive PR problem. This is a cheap solution.
___
- the Foxconn factories in China make products for Mototorola, Bell, Hewlett-Packard, Apple, and others.
___
- a performing artist and journalist, Mike Daisey, went to China and stood outside of a Foxconn factory in Shen Chen and talked to workers as they came out.
- Daisey says there are two issues: wages and conditions:
- wages would be ok by local standards if they were actually paid. they often are not.
- as for conditions- given that the cost of assembling an iPhone is about $6- coming into compliance with [existing] Chinese labor laws, … "is going to cost A COUPLE OF DOLLARS".
Source: radio show on NPR: "Your Call" yourcallradio.org/ - search 'apple'.
Mike Daisey speaks of this between counters 22:00 and 22:33.
- i sent the 2 Dollar pages to Rose Aguilar, the creator of the "Your Call" program on NPR.
- she sent more info back to me: "The same goes for Wal-Mart. If you add about 40 cents to your purchase, overseas workers would be paid a living wage. Thanks, Rose."

Feb. 18, 2012- George sent me new info from WIRED: of the two problems- wages and conditions (which includes safety), Foxconn has made a gesture to solve part of one of them- perhaps to quiet criticism:
www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/02/foxconn-raises-pay-of-fac...
___
Feb. 20, 2012- New York Times reporter says on NPR, this morning, that Foxconn has improved some of the wage problem and, now, some of the conditions problem in their factories. Foxconn is known for ignoring Chinese law but there may be some change coming.
___
- i have two Apple devices that were made in China, so i'm sending a second envelope:
Hi, Apple folks-
I didn't pay enough for my wonderful Mac Mini. Please find two dollars, enclosed.
If I had paid two dollars more, the working conditions at Foxconn would be fair and honorable, and your developing PR problem would disappear.
Around 1989, I designed in-house and TIE icons- static and animated- for you. I conceived the comic Hypercard animation for 'selling' Space Shuttle arms- the one where the arm picked up a button on the screen and turned it to read backwards.
I have owned many Macs and have influenced at least ten other people to go the Mac route and let Windows twist in the wind.
I love Apple.
Please make this right and charge two dollars more from now on. No one will notice on our side of the Rim.

* - [ only a quarter of the Apple order for "Clip 1" was filled- 100 copies. but that is another story.]

From my observations, come Wednesday, flickrians who choose to honor the bokeh day would mainly opt for flowers as their upload.
So then it leads to a question in my head; why flowers become popular subject to be associated with bokeh? One thing for certain, bokeh can appear in any images for that matter, not just flowers. And the irony is, more often than not, I myself would jump on the bandwagon with flowers for the HBW as well.
I have a theory to make: Flowers are popular because by nature they are mostly beautiful and largely regarded as icon for beauty. With the presence of the blurry effects in the background of an image that we call it as “bokeh”, it provides better contrasts for the in-focus flower in the foreground and thus, it distinctly manifests on its clarity and beauty. Or maybe due to other reasons only psychologists know best.
Frankly, I don’t quite have an answer to it.
Slightly more than a year ago when I first activated my flickr account, I was wondering over a strange word found in others’ photostreams. In the past many years of my life even in my English classes at the university level, I couldn’t recall stumbling upon such word as “bokeh”, let alone using it in my sentence. The only “bokeh” that I knew prior to this was a word in our localized dialect that means “to uproot”. For instance, “Bokeh pohon nyor”, means “to uproot a coconut tree” (An action where a coconut tree is deracinated or pulled out by the roots in an effort to conserve the tree and transfer it somewhere else – or to get rid of it totally)
Well, now I know another meaning of “bokeh”, thanks to Wikipedia for helping me with the meaning of it in photographic term.
HBW everyone!
