Star Ferry


I was not aware of the relocation of the star ferry pier until last week. If I knew before, I would definitely use the pier once more during my visit last month. Even though I grew up in Kowloon, due to the couple of years in HKU, I was a frequent visitor of the pier.
I have visited quite a number of cities in europe and the states, indeed western people have a much greater respect to their history. You can always see the combination of the new and the old in harmony. I found the picture from a forum, I like the words written, thanks for the photographer I don't know.

learning from penguins

More and more of my friends have kids now. May be that's why I do think about parenting. In my church, there are many kids. However, the parenting of their parents always kind of makes me sick.
The march of penguins is a moving documentary. The story is, every year, penguins meet at a place for mating, a father and a mother will work very hard together to raise a kid. When the kids are strong enough, each couple will abandon their child and let the mother nature to take care. The whole new generation thus find their own way to go to the sea and have a new life.
May be, we should understand that our kids belong to God, they are not for our own satisfaction.
