I could watch this scene from the movie “No country for old men” over and over. It’s scary and funny at the same time. Javier Bardem is the best LOL.
Same guy without the funky haircut.
Went to the Art Centre for the “Banksy robs Hong Kong” exhibition. I like the nostalgic stencil style, and there’s always a sense of humor in his works. Check out the official website.
and this one is so cool (from his website):
Last night I watched a documentary called “Sharkwater” directed by Rob Stewart. Driven by passion fed from a lifelong fascination with sharks, Stewart debunks historical stereotypes and media depictions of sharks as bloodthirsty, man-eating monsters and reveals the reality of sharks as pillars in the evolution of the seas. Stewart discovers these magnificent creatures have gone from predator to prey due to illegal shark finning, and how despite surviving the earth’s history of mass extinctions, they could easily be wiped out within a few years due to human greed.
The biggest markets for shark fin are Hong Kong and China. Last time I went to Sheung Wan and saw SO MANY dried shark fins being sold everywhere. It’s a horrific view. Why do we have to eat something that’s essentially tasteless without any special nutritional value? I hope you will get a copy of “Sharkwater”, watch it, and share it with your friends and family. I think as Chinese we can really do something to stop this cruel shark finning industry. Without demand shark fin won’t worth a dime and those greedy people would stop killing sharks.
I am glad I chose not to serve shark fin at my wedding banquet, and that my husband supported my decision *hugs*. If you are gonna have a Chinese wedding banquet, please do not serve shark fin soup.

I just got 2 new baby treesons from Bubi last week. The new ones come in 4 colors: classic white, almond brown, pastel pink and baby blue. Each has its own facial expression. I picked the pastel pink and baby blue they are adorable. Treeson is a character created by my shy friend Bubi Au Yeung, who’s an illustrator in Hong Kong. You can purchase treeson products at the Crazy Label online store or selected toy stores near you (locations listed on the Crazy Label site).
