I honestly cannot remember when was the last time I visited this site, but a rough guess would be at the end of last year. My only valid reason is that I have not picked up a new DSLR, and that seems to have diluted my interest in deviantArt.

What's more is that ~hongkongda, the usergroup that my dear friend ~nashua and I once looked after, is still stone dead, leaving many of the good memories untold. At one point, under Nash's nurture the club even got featured on the respectable South China Morning Post! (I was in the UK when the interview took place)

The last admin of ~hongkongda seems to have abandoned deviantArt altogether, so I don't know what the chances are for me to get the club back from the grave and rebuild it. Nevertheless, I am determined to re-establish a new group for Hong Kong deviants, a portal to let us fellow HongKongers get closer together and promote the colourful culture of the best city in the world.

I don't know when this will happen (most likely to be when I get my new gear), but seeing the many great changes on deviantArt I am very determined to revive a Hong Kong group here. Stay tuned.

Enjoy!

Yep, no more photography until I get my next one (Nikon D300?), but the staggering rent in London would mean I might not get one for a while.

I'll still hang around here though.

And wasn't last week's Doctor Who amazing! Can't wait to see what's going to happen to the Doctor.

Just reading the news about the earthquake in China makes me teary - so many victims yet so little time left for those under the debris. As I type this, the official statistics show that there are already near 15000 deaths.

Prime Minister Wen Jiabao (國務院總理溫家寶) - who is now in Sichuan directing rescue work - promised that the government will deliver as many Liberation Army soldiers as required, and hopefully with the generous donations from Hong Kong and around the world, the surviving victims will hang in there until the situation is stable. Severe weather conditions have also blocked supply routes, so hopefully that will change soon.

What upsets me more - and I'm sure it's the same with other people - is how China's response contrasts Burma's to their typhoon disaster. Seriously, whoever is in charge there must have a fucked up mind - the dictators have put power before humanity. It's too hard to imagine how they run the country.

I wish the victims to be rescued very soon and looked after well.

Update: the death toll has gone up to 'nearly 20,000': [link]

My external LCD is soooo much better than my laptop's built-in one.
