My McMug Badges

Lately, I am doing some "mo-liu" stuff -- collecting McMug badges from Circle K.

The badges come in two series -- the first is the 26 alphabets plus 4 "hidden badges"; while the second (i.e. current) series of eight are of different characters in YellowBus: McMug, McDull, the Principal, Miss Chan, May, June, Mrs. Mak...and last but not least, the turtle Ah Fai.

It happens that both my sis and one of my colleagues are big fans of Ah Fai. Although my sis keeps telling me to buy HK$20 stuff from Circle K to get a badge is too expensive (cause she said Circle K is more expensive than Mannings), she still joins the treasure hunt for Ah Fai.

So what happened? My sis has three badges from the second series, two of them is Ah Fai!

So we sort of like kids trading cards -- my sis traded one of her Ah Fai for one of my Miss Chan (I had two of them originally). Then, I went back to work and trade my Ah Fai for my colleague's Principal.

Well, it's absolutely very mo-liu. But life is short. Why don't we try something funny once in a while?

Here's my partial collection:

The valuable Ah Fai

My other badges

Of course I don't only have McMug badges. Here are some you may still remember.



On 1 July this year, the Civil Human Rights Front will sell badges to raise fund too. Don't forget to chip in your part. See you at Victoria Park. 不見不散.

Volunteers

Lately, one of my friends are being upset by a group of volunteers and also his superiors at work. It eventually leads to his resignation.

Although it is what I had suggested, I still feel a little bid of sadness after working with him so so many years.

It all sounds very familiar, cause it's exactly what I had faced during the election last year. I had tried to leave the campaign twice but eventually stayed cause I had to and had no choice. It's the only one time that I agree with CH Tung so much -- "to leave is easy; to stay requries courage".

I stayed. But I had to say I am exhausted both physically and mentally. I think that's why I want to switch my carreer path and start a new life.

Sketch Book and Drawing Pencils

My first drawing lesson will be on 5 July. Tonight, cause I was in Yaumatei for a meeting, I went to shop for drawing materials: sketch book, pencils, colour pencils, erasers, etc. (Oops...I forgot the paper stick eraser...) I got very excited when I saw all the drawing tools. Hope I can go through all the courses this time.

自由花

忘不了的，年月也不會蠶蝕，心中深處始終也記憶那年那夕；
曾經痛惜，年月裏轉化為力，一點真理，一個理想永遠地尋覓。

悠悠長長繼續前航不懂去驚怕，荊荊棘棘通通斬去不必多看它，
浮浮沉沉昨日人群雖不說一話，不想清楚分析太多真心抑意假。

但有一個夢，不會死，記著吧！無論雨怎麼打，自由仍是會開花，
但有一個夢，不會死，記著吧！來自你我的心，記著吧！

忘不了的，留不了不死意識，深深相信始終會變真某年某夕；
如此訊息，仍賴你跟我全力，加一把勁，將這理想繼續在尋覓。

International Appeal for Release of Ching Cheong

http://www.petition-chingcheong.org/

Jointly organized by the Reporters Sans Frontier and Hong Kong Journalists Association

We, journalists and press freedom activists, call for the immediate release of our colleague Ching Cheong, unfairly detained in China since 22 April 2005. Our colleague, correspondent for the Singapore daily Straits Times, is an experienced and honest reporter who respects journalistic ethics.

We reject the accusations of spying brought against him by the Chinese government, which are liable to create confusion and cast suspicion on the entire profession.

Ching Cheong was in China to carry out his work as a journalist and for that reason alone.

Thanks for coming

I am always curious whether there's anyone ever visit my blog in addition to myself. But anytime when I thing there's no one coming, I see comments from friends overseas. Whenever I think I am writing to myself, I figure out from conversation with friends that they have always knew my whereabout when I've never mentioned it to them. The only answer to the situation is they have come here.

Thanks for coming.
