At about 5am, a trifling sound of clicking somewhere in my room or the next neighbour’s bedroom separated mine by a thin wall- we can hear each other’s slight movement during the night- either remotely connected or being turned on by the next door neighbour (the owners are a old couple, but some people outside the family live there quietly from time to time, not want to be seen), the air of my room started to change. There were little sounds of fission in the air, so trifling it was hardly noticeable; slowly, I could feel my blood vessels on my legs starting to slightly swell, my heartbeat starting to accelerate and becoming heavier, as if beating the drums

For a purpose of research for my manuscript, I took a trip to Hyde Park, after taking some photos and strolled into Royal Albert House.
Knowing it’s the annual Prom season, and knowing the tickets are very in demand, I randomly asked what’s the performance for the evening, and being told it would be a night of music for Beethoven, and the staff said something surprised me: “There is a 2nd boxes tier ticket available, the best I had.”
“Real!” My day trip was for writing in the park, nothing else, but the unexpected information grabbed my attention. Thought that I could do a few hours writing in the park and come back for the unplanned evening, considering that myself lucky, I bought the ticket with a huge gusto off and cuff, and left.

I haven’t written anything for my website for more than four months since my last post. It’s partly because I tend to be laid-back unless there is a deadline to meet. Besides, as writing is not something I do for a living, I have other unavoidable commitments for my immediate attention.
Being a landlady, I certainly have fundamental commitment for what it provides me with the essential and desirable quality of life, and it comes with responsibility for the tenants and houses which demand my time and attention whenever a problem occurs, here, there, be it a building work, change a roof, fix whatever is broking, all have to be promptly sorted.
Apart from that, I have been writing my new manuscript, which is not only unfinished with the first drift, the most important stage to sketch an outline of the story on my computer before developing it further, in terms of details and literary appeal, editing them in the second drift, but also it is untitled yet!

What To Write?
A story set in the background of a virtual world, perhaps one hundred years from now. Technology has not only taken over our lives but also the entire outlook of lives, and mindsets have been shaped by the perception feds by the technology; Natural and manmade calamities are rising and falling alternately; Politics are paralysed by the sharply divided public opinions, States are wondering who is more dangerous than who, another state or public perception? And a hero tries to set things to rights.

Happy New Year!
Another ring out of the old and call in the new, another transition from past to present, but there is something never out of fashion: fascination by innuendo.
As usual, it depends on how pleasurable the type one usually is in jumping to conclusions and being cocksure & impervious to criticism, being opinionated to unfold one’s assumption, and a lot can be inferred from one's limited imagination, regardless if they are totally unrelated or not, because it’s fun to be inspired with a twisted mind to set off an upsurge of storm and in the hope that everyone would trace the storm, or simply to fulfil one’s task as a way of making a living.

巴巴多斯之旅
当我半夜在巴巴多斯的布里奇敦格兰特利亚当斯机场走出飞机时，热浪就在我的脸上，在我短暂生活过的世界的另一个地方，一种熟悉的热带气候的朦胧感觉一闪而过我脑海。
哦！加勒比！每当我看着电视屏幕上的世界地图，听着天气预报主持人（女主人）迷人的声音，生动地描述着世界各地即将到来的天气时，我常常睁大眼睛好奇的一个迷人的地方，并试图瞥见加勒比海，但在它从屏幕上消失之前从未清晰地瞥过一眼。
