Are you enjoying your life from within or without?

I came across with this meaningful story from the internet, I think it's great to share with all of you:

一群孩子在一位老人家门前嬉闹，叫声连天。几天过去，老人难以忍受。
于是，他出来给了每个孩子25美分，对他们说：“你们让这儿变得很热闹，我觉得自己年轻了不少，这点钱表示谢意。”

孩子们很高兴，第二天仍然来了，一如既往地嬉闹。老人再出来，给了每个孩子15美分。他解释说，自己没有收入，只能少给一些。15美分也还可以吧，孩子仍然兴高采烈地走了。
　　
第三天，老人只给了每个孩子1美分。

孩子们勃然大怒，“一天才5美分，知不知道我们多辛苦！”他们向老人发誓，他们再也不会为他玩了！

Translation in English:
Some kids were playing and laughing out loud outside of an old man's house and the old man hated it.

So the next day the old man came out to the kids and pay each of them 25 cents and said "Thanks for playing so loud in front of my house, this reminded me of my teenager memory"

Those kids were very happy and they keep on coming on the following day, the old man then gave each kid 15 cents as he explained "I am a poor old man with no income, 15cents is what I can afford". Those kids are still happy and they went home after.

On the third day, the old man gave each kid only 1 cent. All kids are angry and they said to him "We are not going to play for you anymore, 1 cent is soooo cheap" and then they left.


Feedback:

There are always 2 types of motivation inside us. One is from inside and one is from outside. Are we doing what we love from inside everyday? Or are we living our day to day because of our "outside" motivation? Have we forgotten our original "inside" motivation? Do we do our day to day routines because we WANT to or because we HAVE to? Do we still do what we have been doing if our boss is not giving us any salary? I don't have an answer for all these questions.........................YET.

盧廣仲-我愛你

Accomplished a lot?

Has been sad for a month, finally picked up my camera again.

If you are our friend, you should know what's had happened to us. I have 0 mood to take pictures and every time I put my eye in the viewfinder, I felt sad. Finally I have some feel earlier and took this snapshot for zoe.

Oh well, it has been a month since he has left us...................... Let's see when I am getting over with this.

Do you like colour OR black&white?

The more photo that I shoot, the more I realize that sometimes simple is the best. I now realized that sometimes Black and white pictures have more "feel" than colour one. Anyways, here are some recent shoot, enjoy.

A day at the park

Mommy brought zoe to park and we let zoe tried many of those games. Seems like zoe loves the swing the most.

What are you looking at?

Hi everyone,

I am officelly 9 months old how. Yea I know my pony looks steelespid. Thanks to my steelespid dadddy as he said to my moom that this looks "CUTE" wor. Oh well, whatever, I am going to wake up at lights, refusing to take solid flood as breakfast, keep pooling whenever he is with me and never never will start drunking from bottle, just to get bak at him for my ugly hair style.

SoooooooooE (That's the way I spell my name and yes I know, I have tons of spelling mistakes)

The most amazing voice?

When I did a search on youtube about who has the most amazing voice, I found the following singer:



However, just like every other parent(biased), I think the following voice was the most amazing:

食蕉啦, zoe chan, 學人發脾四

Abusing the ExerSaucer

Hey zoe, are you trying to break this ExerSaucer? We are not going to get you another one if you break it.

Zoe's cloth from HK friends

Hi PP and VV,

As promised, here are some photos that Zoe was wearing your gifts :)

Thanks again for this lovely present :)

Come to daddy, little zoe.

Zoe's 相撲腳

Photoshoot with Zoe using HSS

Zoe was kind of sleepy this afternoon because her bad bad daddy wake her up to go out for a walk.

Refusing Bottle?

When zoe was about 3 months, she started to refuse bottle feeding as she enjoys mommy's breast sooooo much. Therefore, all the extra milk that we stored ever since she was born was wasted as we have no way to force her to drink them :(

Hopefully this is a lesson learnt for those new mommy or mommy-to-be when it comes to storing breast milk.

Here is a snapshot of what we throwed away :(

Anyways, here are the photo :)

Zoe at Park

Yesterday was very windy at the park and we can only shoot for like 5 mins, so this is the best one I can post so far. Hoping to revisit the park soon and shoot more.

Trying to pick up food with 2 fingers.......ONLY

It's solid time.

Some aftermaths

Time really passed by quickly. Zoe is 6 months old in 2 days. Thanks Christina for doing all the hard work.

Diapers she changed:
7 per day = 1260 diapers.

Feeding she did:
6 per day(at least) = 1080 meals.

Hours that she spent with zoe:
6 hours per day (at least) = 1080 hours = 45 whole days.

Results of all this hard work equals to the following:

Gathering at Ying's house

Zoe has lots of fun with her new friends, namely J and K.

Zoe keep laughing............................................................................. priceless.


Not convinced yet? Check out the clip below.

Zoe's first toy.

Zoe is such a lucky girl, she always got tons of stuff from our friends and relative. And as of March 7, we finally purchased her first toys, which is Sophie The Giraffe. Don't look down on this plastic toy, it cost us 20.00. The selling point is that this toy is made in France, wooooooo. Maybe after the "鼠首和兔首銅頭在法國巴黎拍賣" incident, we should not support France's product, but oh well, Zoe likes it a lot.








See how much Zoe likes her first toy.

Family portrait attempt #1

One of the reason why I invested so much time and money into photography is because going to a studio for family portrait is really expensive and the result is not really that amazing(depends on luck). Hiring a professional photography definitely give you better results but it's going to dry up your wallet if you are planning to do twice per year(let's say).

Anyways, cut the BS carlton, please, just show us your (zoe and wife specifically) pictures.
Welcome and comments are welcome so I can grow and learn.
Thanks.

Tickled by mommy.

Zoe was laughting like crazy and I asked christina to video her laughing. Zoe stopped laughing as soon as she saw the camcorder. What the heck, we missed the funny shot again!

Zoe with poses

Finally have time to shoot some kind of pro pictures for zoe :)
And thanks zoe for co-operating and keeping those poses.
