Creative letters created by using the fingers, it's not a sign language but a typeface.
it inspired me to use shadow to do something special.
For example, we commonly created dogs, rabbits, with the candle light, we actually can use some thin paper to create a lighter shadow, and mix with some solid shadow, this will be more real and movements could be involved inside


this is a very AMAZING to describe the black and white art.
he uses simple items to create humanity movement with some expression in different angle.

L.o.v.e - L.O.v.e- L.O.V.e -L.O.V.E

I asked a boy about : what is L.O.V.E about ?
He answered : Love is when doggie licks our hands.
I smiled when listened to this answer, he added,"
even if you gonna leave it alone. "


what do you perceive when you read this ?
to me, it's a very special way to express our love, not only in the primary stage, but also the second stage or further stages that we have to go through in our lives.


why do i say second and further stages? that is because, the action " licks our hands" is the very first stage of showing our love, second or further stage i was referring in this conversation is the inner feeling to show our love even if someone leaves us alone.

it inspired me in writing.
enhance my writing skill to be more creative by using different simile or metaphor to describe an inner feeling of a thought....

Veggie Cowie


Vege is not only Vegetable anymore...
We traditionally put some simple vege like "Cameron Chili" or some green vegetable to decorate our main dishes.
This picture inspired me in sense of putting some creativity (e.g white coloring and black dots to become eyes ) into vegetable and they will become no more a decorative item, but also an attractive dish to be eaten too ( only if not using inedible ingredients )

this will not only increase the appetite of people who seen it, but also very nutritious to our human body.
this is very helpful in educating children on awareness to have enough vegetable (nutrition) if we apply it in our lives.

BBQ POSTER ~

This is what I called : COPY others idea to generate a new idea of mine.
It inspired me to use old paper texture to create a BBQ poster. I found the previous poster so dull, and I made the font fancier to become more catchy.

Simple as it's COMPLICATING


Fiona Sit - ''Better Me'' MV


This song by Fiona Sit amazed me.
Simple music video
Simple make up
Simple lyrics
Simple shooting
BUT it contains a complicated meaning inside.

it started with like two identical twins
at first, i thought they both are not related to each other
as the melody in, it reminds me like,
left girl is getting hurt from a relationship
right girl is consoling the left girl
 Left girl cried when right girl told her :
遠處海港傳來陣陣船笛
我一直飄零到被你揀起
如今望著反映窗戶玻璃
有個我陌生又熟悉
(translation on my own)
u remind me of the "past" me,
i was alone until i had met you in my life.
BUT now, i look into the reflection of the mirror,
it's me, but it's no longer the one I familiar with,
I'm not myself anymore.

Left girl look and right girl and ask the inner part of herself : can i really be a better me ?
Right girl : 
I can Smile a little more
Sing a little more
Feel a little more
全因為你 (because of you)
說好了要為幸福 一天天地練習 ( we have promised each other to live better, that's what we are practising now )
練習 Laugh a little more
Love myself a little more
要學會更加善待我自己 ( to learn how to treat myself better, and because of you, i became the BETTER ME )
為你我變成了 Better me
就是那麼神奇 (and it's so miracle )
從前的錯都有意義 ( we learned from our faults)
教我拋開所有猜疑 也許 ( to clear my doubts i doubted, and maybe )
我也美麗 值得一個奇蹟 ( i worth for a miracle )
我的眼淚會墜落 ( my tears drop )
絕不是因為懦弱 ( it's not because of being not confident )
而是感謝天讓我遇見你 
不然今天就不能 如此地有勇氣 ( i would like to thank GOD to let me could have the chance to meet you, and now i became braver )
Now I promise to you
And I can swear to you
為你我 一定加倍 珍惜*我自己 ( i learned how to love and appreciate myself)
做一個值得你 驕傲的 Better me ( to become a better me)
一個值得你 愛的Better me  (the one the you worth to be proud of )


This MV ends with a left girl smiling and right girl being so confident.




She smiles :-), because she finally realised that she could live better and to be a BETTER ME, for him
She being so confident, is because she knew she HAS TO live better to be a BETTER ME,for herself.









I would say this is a very successful MV that could bring its full meaning to its audience.
A song that named : BETTER ME, to everyone's first impression, it would be a song that singing to one person.
The director, simply to make this song into two identical twins, but it actually also brings the feeling of,
I'm talking to myself, I'm convincing myself to live better, to think and to see things positively.

It actually inspired me in the way how to brings out the lyrics into a MV
and creatively acted the lyrics out
I learned how to use right angle, right facial expression if i were to compose a video.
