HOME - "So Longed For"
"The house is old, the trees are bare,
Moonless above bends twilight's dome;
But what on earth is half so dear—
So longed for—as the hearth of home?"
(Excerpt from) 'A Little While, A Little While' By Emily Brontë
Walking through the dense woods, the leaves a thick, wet carpet of colours gold, umber and orange, I barely noticed a towering structure rising high on the side of the hill, well hidden by tall pines and spruces, stately oaks, poplars and birch trees.
I began my ascent, slipping noisily on the shiny wet leaves and sinking into the soggy ground beneath me. I held on to any available branch lest I slide back down. Occasionally I paused to take in the view around me; the sun streaming through the bare branches, alighting on the glistening leaves, a gaudy shag rug from the 1970 era. I continued to climb toward this mysterious tower, my camera banging heavily against my chest as I inevitably slid down on my knees.
As I neared the mammoth construction, I realized I could not approach it the way I was heading for there was too much underbrush and I had to change directions by going across, climbing over and between fallen trees, then steeply up and once there I realized it would be a dangerous climb down. Determined, I continued. Descending gingerly, baby steps….
Grabbing for that branch fast but discovering too late that it was a spiny, sticky pine. It saved me but my hand was scraped and gummy.
I was facing the amazing monstrosity now and was awed by the workmanship of this immense touch-the-sky fireplace, the only thing standing on the side of the hill. The masonry was a work of art and still intact. Stones of various rich earth tones and just below, there lay the fallen roof with tiles of galvanized metal still rusty-nailed to old rotting wooden planks. A tree had formed around what looked like was another part of the tiled roof, standing upright.
What had destroyed this mansion, for surely it must have been a house of considerable size to have had a fireplace of this magnitude? How long had this been standing here? Long enough for the trees to grow up tall, for the forest to grow thick around it, to close in upon the hearth. As I stood small in front of the massive monument, in what must have been the family room, I wondered about the family that had gathered here for the warmth. How they must have laughed as they waited for dinner, pot bubbling over the fire. Had they sung songs here, read books, played games?
I looked at the wonder and glory surrounding me and decided this must have been a happy home here in this beautiful forest. I felt a connectedness, could hear the echoes of my own small family as we gather 'round the dining room table to share our stories and love one another in my cheerful house, our home where our daughters were born and we have become a family.

THEME 2 - T-SHIRTS
TOM AND JERRY
When I was young I didn't grow up with a television. My parents didn't want me to sit in front of it all the time and they wanted me to be active. I was a very active child and I am very active still. Kids would ask me if I was amish cause they all thought it was so weird that I didn't have a tv. Do you see me wearing a bonnet? My parents were both teachers and they had tv's in their rooms. I would go with them in the evenings when they had things to do in their classroom and I would put in my tapes and watch them. For not having a tv, I watched all the same popular shows that you would have. I was always at Tracys and we would watch tv. I always loved watching Care Bears, Gummy Bears, My Little Pony, Sherah, Heman. And you can't forget TGIF. I used to watch that all the time. I remember Tracy and I would always watch Sweet Valley High. She was big into it and so I'd watch it with her and we all got hooked.
My grandpa would always tape Tom and Jerry for me when I was young. This was one of the tapes I'd watch in my parents classrooms. I always loved Tom. I think because he was a cat and I liked cats. I don't mind mice eather. But when I was young, if there was a cat mascot I like it. I loved Tony the Tiger and I also liked the Detroit Tigers. They were cats and so I was a fan. I still like both of them!

Red at Chinese Weddings
Red is the color theme of traditional Chinese weddings. It symbolizes love, joy, and prosperity. A Chinese brides wedding gown is often red, as are the wedding invitations, gift boxes, and envelopes for gifts. Even the homes of the bride and groom are decorated in red on the wedding day.
Chinese Pre-wedding events
Before the wedding a Chinese bride goes into seclusion with her closest friends to symbolically mourn the loss of her family and friends. Often the grooms family will bring wedding gifts to the brides house in red boxes and baskets. One of the gifts will contain "uang susu" or "milk money". Other gifts will be personal gifts for the bride. Three days before the wedding the bride’s family will go to the grooms house with gifts for his family.
Chinese Wedding Day
The day a Chinese wedding is carefully chosen to line up with astrological signs. Chinese weddings also start on the half-hour so that the wedding can start on an upswing, while the hands of the clock are moving up.
On the wedding day the groom is dressed by his parents. The groom will arrive at the brides house with a gift of cash to give the brides friends for letting her go. Sometimes the wedding couple will serve tea to both sets of parents to symbolically ask permission to get married. The bride and groom then leave for the wedding sight together.
Chinese Marriage Ceremony and Reception
A Chinese wedding ceremony is normally only attended by the couples’ immediate families. After the ceremony and before the reception the bride will host a tea ceremony for her in-laws. The couple usually goes to get the formal wedding pictures before they go the their reception.
A Chinese wedding reception is a very elaborate affair. There is normally a welcoming speech by a MC. Directly after the speech is the cake cutting. A traditional Chinese wedding cake is huge, with many layers. The lays symbolize the couples climb to success. The couple will cut the cake from the bottom to the top. The bride and groom will feed each other a piece of cake. Then they will cut a piece of cake for the parents and grandparents. The bride and groom will feed each of the pieces of cake to the parent or grandparent together. Sometimes wedding toast are given. The wedding guest will then great the bride and groom and the parents. Elaborate Chinese weddings include a 9 or 10 course meal and music. Chinese brides will often wear three different outfits during the reception. Article From www.weddings.sc/content,chinese-wedding-traditions/

Live, Believe & Dream! See You There!
Both my wife and I are Disney fanatics (ok, more me than her) so when we were in Hong Kong we jumped at the chance to spend a day here.
We got to the park by taking the train from Kowloon and changing to the Disney Express which drops you off at the gate, this train is themed with Mickey shaped windows and hand holds, as well as minature statues of the characters in the carriages.
The first thing that hits you when you enter the park and look down main street is just how small the castle is, it looks like the one from California, which in my opinion is not as 'magical' (impressive) as the others around the world and gets overwhelmed by the sourounding hillside.
We first entered Adventure Land to the left hand side and went on the Jungle Cruise, which unlike the others around the world uses pyrotechnics in its finale, but I did find it a bit short.
We then took a raft over to Tarzans treehouse, which if I am honest is just like the Swiss Family Robinson treehouse at WDW with the exception of a few added monkeys.
Next we went to Fantasyland and sat in on PhilharMagic which, again is the same as the WDW version. Followed by Winnie the Pooh, the Carousel, Dumbo and the Golden Mickeys which is a mock awards show featuring all your favourite characters.
We had lunch in one of the many restaurants, and had some noodles with dim sum.
We then headed back over to Adventureland to 'the festival of the lion king', this again is based on the one from Disney's Animal Kingdom at WDW, but featured less acrobatics.
Then it was over to the last section of the park, Futureland where we went on Space Mountain (our favourite ride in the park) and Buzz Lightyear.
We watched the parade at 3.00 but it was quite difficult to stand for such a long time in the blistering heat, strong sunlight and very high humidity.
We then went on space mountain a few more times, before wandering around the park suvenire shopping and having our pictures taken with the various characters before the fireworks started at 8.00.
Overall it was a good day out but the park was severly lacking a number of big rides (haunted manision, big thunder mountain railroad, splash mountain, etc) and this was really noticeable as the park did not keep you entertained for the whole day, which is what I belive any good park should.
But if you are in Hong Kong and a fan of the mouse then I would recommend going here.

The Rumah Terbalik upside down house has in its grounds a gift shop that carries a rather upmarket range of choice gifts. It also has a bakery where once can enjoy freshly baked goodies. I bought a couple of wooden photo frames of the Proboscis Monkey, but did not indulge in the baked goodies. I did visit the nature themed washroom though., and here is a view of it. Nice touch of nature while answering the call of nature! (Kota Kinabalu, East Malaysia, Nov. 2013)
