The fact is, it is a scientific truth. And it is a line true to almost anything, “dead” or “living“, around you.<br /><br />When I last watch a movie titled “The fountain”, about three characters’ common search for eternal life. I was shocked and at the same time disappointed by the ending of Tomas, one of the characters; having drunk the sap of tree of life, turned into plants. It’s no different from a scene that I long ago seen in Manga, and it is contradictory to the medics saying about somebody turning vegt. But one thing I did enjoyed though was the movie tinged my mind on a subject long buried; meaning of eternal life.<br /><br />I do in certain sense believe that everybody will physically live forever in chemical term. Just like the universal concept about energy will not perish into nothingness. The death of one thing marks only the beginning of some other energy forms. A dead body will perished into soil; feed the plants and small living organisms, which in turn feed the larger living forms. As the process goes in cycles, and the chemical presences can be transferred in solid, liquid or gaseous state, you, and me can therefore be part of running water, cloud, any thing you imagine to be.<br /><br />Thinking beyond a poem from an ancient Chinese poet Chow Tze Jien’s poem, that he composed while his brother Chow Je, the Wei kingdom emperor, was trying to find an excuse to kill him; “.. it was originally from the same root, why such a hush and rush. (for the branches to burn itself to cook the beans, of which the beans and branches used to grow on a same tree) “. <br /><br />Think what human are now doing to the earth and to each other. I believe we are the silliest living things on earth. No wonder Adam was banished from Garden of Eden. Now I know, it was we who had banished ourselves. For one simple reason, when we cannot recognise the materiality, how can we ever recognise our own soul.<br /> <br /><br />look fr studio LDA<div class="blogger-post-footer">studio LDA</div>chee meng lookhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03393718525558960126noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20752237.post-19086806690950503382007-11-04T23:44:00.000-08:002007-11-04T23:57:50.978-08:00material dissolves into senseIn a micro world, material dissolves into sense.<br />Because of the immaterial presence, it is sometimes known as god.<br /><br />look from studio LDA<div class="blogger-post-footer">studio LDA</div>chee meng lookhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03393718525558960126noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20752237.post-46661688840534654432007-11-04T23:42:00.000-08:002007-11-24T07:08:08.777-08:00design is always bigger than the designer<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE6YGI8lDHHb97P0OiC8WfpNBb3MR5kCz06Sj7buHu4XwpdEByar4EO_Zp-N_f8Bjn7hfSRmLNuK0ue9uX8cHhVCBjvNFYmkBNyjKKf257J1oBcdlFapjtrfgNuNWUbK7KQzdSlA/s1600-h/bigger.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE6YGI8lDHHb97P0OiC8WfpNBb3MR5kCz06Sj7buHu4XwpdEByar4EO_Zp-N_f8Bjn7hfSRmLNuK0ue9uX8cHhVCBjvNFYmkBNyjKKf257J1oBcdlFapjtrfgNuNWUbK7KQzdSlA/s400/bigger.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5136423868930063442" /></a><br />For a really great designer, the design is always bigger than the designer.<br /><br />look fr studio LDA<div class="blogger-post-footer">studio LDA</div>chee meng lookhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03393718525558960126noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20752237.post-77860317054599831382007-10-09T05:33:00.000-07:002007-10-09T05:36:20.241-07:00studio LDA - about Japan prime minister visit to war shrine.An opinion about Japan prime minister visit to war shrine.<br />"Mushi-mushi and bits of historical snapshots" You just have to respect mistakes, however ridiculous they are.

Only my wife and my two daughters were at home. Having had dinner, Sook Yin was watching tv in the house with Xiao Lin, our one year old daughter sleeping on the living room sofa. While Xiao Yi and me were out at the front gate, lighting candles display on the main gate. The gate with all these little colorful lit up candles was beautiful.<br /><br />Xiao Yi saw our neighbours were doing the same, except that they had also food and drinks. So she went into the house and asked, “ Mummy, we are hungry. Can you get us a plate with some biscuits, and two cups of water. One for daddy and one for Xiao Yi.”. I was very touched by her concern of me.<br /><br />Although there were only two of us enjoying the moon lit night, we placed a few more chairs around so the place wasn’t so empty, and we felt more comfortable that way. We use the empty chairs as table for our food and drinks too. Taking a sip of drinks, I laid down, stretched, and let my head rest on the backing piece of the arm chair. And I asked,” Do you ‘sayang’ papa ?”, Xiao Yi climbed down the chair that was taller than her, and came to my back. She brushed my head with her hands and said innocently, “ Xiao Yi ‘sayang’ your head.”. I thought that was funny as it’s how the Cantonese phrase a scolding word; attaching a verb with “your head”.<div class="blogger-post-footer">studio LDA</div>chee meng lookhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03393718525558960126noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20752237.post-24051558613434188622007-10-02T07:58:00.000-07:002007-10-02T08:00:01.007-07:00studio LDA - 中秋是甚麽?(月亮忘记了)中秋是甚麽?(月亮忘记了)<br />有人讲嫦娥的故事,有人说朱炎章起义的故事.你都该听过吧?我也来一则自己的:-<br />打从哪里开始呢?就说月亮吧! 正确的该说是圆月,更简单的也许说圆的故事吧。<br />圆在中华文化有很特别的意义,与西方文化大不相同。圆月在西方文化虽有很浪漫之意,却多半被人狼,劫匪与凶徒之类的东西相连。就连建筑如采用圆形平面设计多数都是与军事用途有关。<br />而中华文化的圆却正好相反。圆是属于天与和谐。北京的天台是圆形的。古时的客家村也是如此。人们更把祖词设于圆形平面的中心。就在中华文字的运用也常说“破镜重圆”、“幸福圆满”。中秋的庆祝也意味着一个民族对圆满幸福生活的向往。在我的童年记忆,每当中秋时,家人总会从老远的地方回乡过节,月下围坐品茶谈天,四周弥漫着孩子们提灯笼点蜡烛所闪烁出的温馨气氛。<br />现在的人们都工作繁忙,就算送了月饼,恐怕也未必知其意呢。<br />看过几米的“月亮忘记了”吗?我们所剩的已是那无数表面挂着,永远却又僵硬笑脸的月亮。谁还会在意那个躲在心方角落的月亮呢?然而它却静静地等着你的拥抱。<br /><br />look fr studio LDA<div class="blogger-post-footer">studio LDA</div>chee meng lookhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03393718525558960126noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20752237.post-66709033010907146332007-09-20T16:23:00.000-07:002007-09-20T16:27:17.912-07:00Honesty is such a big problemHonesty is such a big problem.<br /><br />Look at the news papers and check the problems in Chinese made product in world market, and judge yourself. It is a shame that honesty is such a big problem in the land of Confucianism. I don’t mean to be sarcastic. And when I criticize, I too feel the pain for the land where my grandfather and my father came from.<br /><br />China is going through the period similar to the post world war 2 “Japanese Clock Era” – a time when produce of Japan was known to be of inferior quality. When everything that doesn’t work in life was liken to this phrase “Japanese Clock”. However, it was a transitional period necessary to lead to what you see as Japan today. The only difference between the Chinese and the Japanese development is that the Chinese is doing it a lot faster; so fast it worries the super powers of her rising effects in the world economy, politics, trade balance, etc. China is changing fast for one simple reason; her technical capability is far more advanced than what she is generally now producing. As long as you pay, she can do anything, including sending you to the moon. Then during the Japanese Clock Era, Japan’s general development was moving simultaneously with the development of technology. <br /><br />Corporations are training people on management skill, quality control, planning strategy…but all these work within the simplest principle known to be the core value of Chinese culture, honesty, now little emphasized in the country. People are just too feverishly chasing after material gain that they long lost, but opened now suddenly to them. This was not found in the Japanese development. The Japanese goods were inferior though, but the produce was honest. It was not meant to cheat.<br /><br />This situation must be dealt with not through just management and quality control. The problem is rooted in the social attitude. Should the problem not be solved, the Chinese prosperity you see now is still going to live, but not for long.<br /><br />look from studio LDA<div class="blogger-post-footer">studio LDA</div>chee meng lookhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03393718525558960126noreply@blogger.com0
