This past Dragon boat festival has leaving me a lot of happy moments and impressions. Three days off work, off the pressure, to stay with mom and dad, nowhere to go, just focusing on food and drink and sleep well.

Life is simple and happy. The spreading H1N1 flu horror has made lots of people changed their mind to go travelling somewhere in this short 3 days holiday. The airlines to some countries abroad is nearly closed up, such as Japan or Mexica.

I see no time better than staying with my family, since I really don’t stay with them too often after graduating from university and work in a different city, not far from home, but meet mom and dad less and less in a year. I nearly forget how my moms recipe tastes like. I quite like the fish dish she made.

When I at home, I keep a close look at our vegetable garden and found it very interesting, plus, I taken a few shots through Micro Lens model, turns out quite nice pictures.

面朝大海，春暖花开

by Hai Zi 海子

From tomorrow, be a happy man
Feeding horses, chopping woods, traveling around the world
From tomorrow, care for food and vegetables
I have a house, facing to the ocean, flowers blossoming in spring

From tomorrow, write to every daring family member
Tell them my happiness
What the lightening of happiness have told me
I will tell everybody

Get a warm name for every river every mountain
Stranger, I bless you too
Bless you a great future
Bless you be with your lover
Bless you receive happiness in your mortal life

And me, I want to face to the ocean, with flowers blossoming in spring

Such a beatiful poem. Pity that Hai Zi is passed away. Have blessings in your mind, slow down your life rythem and spend more time with your beloved family members.

Get away from all those intrigues against each other in life and work. Escape from all life’s trouble. “I have a house, facing to the ocean, flowers blossoming in spring”

Day by day, the summer heat would be more and more harder to endure, added there are many annoying insects, with mosquitos  to bear the brunt. Good news is that, some insect expects said earlier that, this 2009 summer year, mosquitos would be less than previous years. Reasons?

1, The weather acts like a naughty child, warm air, cold air comes by turns in March and Appril that even leaving temperature difference often up to 10 degrees………..Humans can barely endure, let alone the mosquitos.

2, Our city has been more clean and people pay more attention to hygiene matters.

Whatever, that’s the general case. What if you have a green garden near your home, will those plants and flowers attracts more mosquitos than elsewhere ? I believe so, that’s why people use insect killer in the garden.

That’s kind of dispointing, but the advantage of a green garden must exceeds these little unpleasant very greatly.

As a Chinese, I hate to admit the fact that most of us would choose the Japanese brand when buying Digital Camera. Canon or Sony, Sony or Canon…. There seems nonwhere to run. Oh, god, japanese are so good at those electric gadgets that needs precision.

Based on my exprience with Canon and Sony digital camera,  Canon seems to perform better when photo color is the focus and Sony always run ahead with the stylish design and fashion apparence. That’s the general impression.

I like to take shot in my garden and other green area, recording those flowers with name or not, those little grass. Canon often do a better job.  Check My Canon IXUS95 Work in My Vegetable Garden.

Sony certainly got this benifits and markets too, in fact, if you are not the professionist, sometimes, it’s hard to tell which is good, which is bad. Skill matters too.

Either one you chose, investigate more in advance in those BBS, and look at the sample picture other people takes and make your decision. If you are going to buy the expensive camera gadgets like the lens, bring a camera geek with you in case your heavy money is lost in sweet talks by the sales.

What you do with a sentimental heart ?

It’s annoying and even though I know it’s bad, I just can’t stop my mind being such a mess at most cases. Girls are not meant to be sentimental, I was not born like this, is hard life got me like this? Maybe….Life is too hard. I overestimated my indendent ability.

Or is that I’m not so confident or optimistic when things are not going so smoothly, following the way I want.

Taking it hard just like you knew I would. I recently found a great way to cure this psychological problems,so easy, just to be enjoy outdoor life more, not just staying at home at most times,  missing all those happy moment that are bound to happen outdoor with your friends or strangers.

You may got this feeling that when you go travelling in some green green mountain area or garden area, with those fresh air you breathing, you will soon forget the trouble in your life for a moment and your brain may not be that dizzy at all.

So the crue is to let your heart be green and close to nature.

We all like to take about how our surrouding environmen is been polluted and complained about where has the fresh air gone. But do we stop and ask ourselves ? Is our life go green ? Have we limited the time we use our car or any other wheeled vehicles that emits exhaust gas ?

What we could do is so easy and sounds trivial, but “Many a little makes a miracle“. As for me, I brought in a new electric bike recently, it’s such a convenient transportation choice, added its speed can be up to 30km/h, that’s enough if you only got around the city area within 20 kilometers.What it consumes is only electricity power, no gas at all.

You should say, the best way would be a mountain bike, why bother the electric bike You know, sometimes, girls are lazy, let alone when there is time with hungry stomach.

So use your car less, join the bike clan, whether it’s an electric bike or mountain bike. It can helps you losing weight at a bonus.
