I have an idea to teach people who don’t know how to cook, how to cook, but being able to cook daily, it’s not about knowing what to make, you have to learn the philosophy of how to cook.
Recipes are good, but then it only teaches you one thing at a time. It’s really discouraging to throw away food, or look at it not knowing what to do, it just feeds the feeling, “I don’t know how to cook.” There are ways around it. Making a leftover omelet is the first step.

Fake Fruit, Lies, and the Marlborough Man
Despite never trusting the label of “Made with REAL FRUIT,” it still never occurred to me that it could be used as an euphemism for “made with PURE SUGAR ”
Britain wasn’t wrong, China just happens to be a dictatorship #omhk #umbrellamovement
Mum: the problem with the British, is they don’t know how to talk to China. Why did they say, they want to “investigate” whether China broke the basic law or what? That’s not really their business anymore after they left HK. It’s China’s borders now, so of course they won’t let them in. Me: noContinue reading “Britain wasn’t wrong, China just happens to be a dictatorship #omhk #umbrellamovement”
A Door into LegCo. A Door into Power. #umhk #umbrellamovement #occupyhk
In the early hours of Nov 19th, a few dozen young people charged at the the glass front of Hong Kong's legislative council building. With metal police barricades they broke two glass doors with force and four people gained access. In doing so they committed a beautiful symbolic act, its imagery lost in the fracas of bickering. The fourContinue reading “A Door into LegCo. A Door into Power. #umhk #umbrellamovement #occupyhk”

Do We Enjoy Freedoms or Do Other Suffer Oppression? #我要真普選 #umbrellamovement #umhk
China rules Hong Kong under a "one country, two systems" formula that accords the city a degree of autonomy and freedom not enjoyed in mainland China, with universal suffrage an eventual goal. The press always writes "Hong Kong "enjoys" more freedoms than those in China." Like freedoms are play things. Instead they should say, "HongContinue reading “Do We Enjoy Freedoms or Do Other Suffer Oppression? #我要真普選 #umbrellamovement #umhk”
Tired of constant debate on what “Basic Law” promised. Don’t care. How about Democracy & freedoms are “Basic Human Rights”

Awaiting a democratic Hong Kong. The other day I was in a book shop, I picked up a book called post colonial theories.

“Speak Now or China Will Come for You At Night,” said, my Russian Mechanic #occupyhk #umhk #umbrellamovement
Awaiting a Democratic Hong Kong. I drove to the garage because my oil needed changing. The moment I got out of the car, my Armenian mechanic shouted at me, "Are you Chinese?" "I am from Hong Kong" I said, slightly defensively. "I need an oil change." I looked passed him, to his garage, hoping heContinue reading ““Speak Now or China Will Come for You At Night,” said, my Russian Mechanic #occupyhk #umhk #umbrellamovement”
Ask Your Heart, Have No Shame. The Generations That Failed This One. #occupycentral #umbrellamovement
Awaiting a Democratic Hong Kong. Listening to a random HK legislator say that, this is the most unhappy time ever in Hong Kong. (I personally would choose the Japanese occupation). And how the protests have caused so many families to be unhappy, how many mothers to be unhappy, because every day they worry whether schoolContinue reading “Ask Your Heart, Have No Shame.
