Happy Valentines Day with a Perfect Score Wine !!

I  Love this Wine 🍷, which

Robert Parker 100 points !! 

Chateau Montelena , Napa Valley , 1997 !!!

In my personal opinion, as French wine is my all time favorite, with less acidity and more sweetness, in comparison with French wine, I prefer this wine than the famous Opus One , for its long standing richness of aroma , lily, grass, plum , chestnuts , and  the end smoky flavor. 


Happy Chinese Valentines Day !❤️❤️❤️

All the appetizers , including Foie Gras and Bamboo Flowers,  look eye catching and taste delicious, but the fish did not meet my standards of freshness, while the  steak really needs lots of improvement, for its tiny size and roughness, and inappropriate blend of scallion sauce !! Well ~~ I believe the Chef in Tairror always improves himself in creating new innovations as well as tasty food, as we hope the he can up grade the quality of both main dishes.  

Guests do not have any other choice but one dinner set course in the menus of Tairror, which makes it crucial to serve excellent main dishes; otherwise, the dinning experience becomes somewhat disappointing at the end !

How to loose FAT ??



Under what circumstances , will our  body burn fat  ???  

If we experience any weight lost, most of the times, we loose water and lean muscle instead of fat . So, to aim the key target , we need to expose ourselves into the following situation : empty stomach, hunger, excessive exercise, and weight training !! 


WHY ? Our body will not burn fat unless the following hormones are present   !!



1. Ghrelin, the hunger hormone. When Empty Stomach , the longer the better ~~
2. Noradrenaline. When Excessive Exercise ~~
3. Lipase. Cold Temperature, under 10 C for 30 minutes ~~
4. Glucagon. When Empty Stomach , staying in low blood sugar ,  ~~
5. Human Growth Hormones. When Old Muscle is obstructed, Weight Training !

Just a thought , you can fly ! ~ Another good film !

Just a thought , You can fly !!!! 

As soon as Mary Poppins flew in through the window, the world was lightened  up by her delightfulness !!
 Saving Mr. Banks can be categorized as a Soul Searching Film !!

 Nobody every thought that this happy and inspirational Disney musical film Mary Poppins , produced in 1964, harboured a sad childhood memory of the author, PL Travers !  
The modern film Saving Mr. Banks  2015 , staring Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson, portrayed a rigid, demanding and severe process in making this musical possible during 60's ! 


Nevertheless, Mr. Banks, resembled the figure of her beloved father,  is not the one who needs to be saved in reality, PL Travers in fact should be the one, whose life has suffered formidably in confusion after the death of her loving but irresponsible father. 

This is a touching story of delivering the ideal of balance between fantasy and practicality  ! Everyone was surprised with her characteristics of stubbornness and cruelty,  as PL Travers depicted a loving, fantastic and comic illusion in her book , Mary Poppins! How Walter Disney, our beloved Dreamer,  actualized  her dream , and presented the Wonderland to the world  would be the other highlight in the movie !

Afterthought:
If you perceive the world with opened mind and loving compassion without much expectations, if you courageously confront the challenges in your life, you will magically transform your dream into reality !! 










  • Bert/Mr. Dawes Sr.: Winds in the east, there's a mist coming in, like something is brewing, about to begin.
  • Mary Poppins: In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun.
  • Mary Poppins: "I never explain anything"
  • Mary Poppins: Just a spoon-ful of sugar helps the medicine go down.

    Awakening !!

    Awakening !!

    How far from birth to death, is in the length of our breath
    How far from confusion to consonance,
    when comes a sudden chance
    How far from love to hate, you can't anticipate
    How far from then or now, when laughter spreads somehow
    How far from you and me forgiveness only
    How far from heart to heart, the sky to the earth




    從生到死有多遠 呼吸之間 
    從迷到悟有多遠 一念之間 
    從愛到恨有多遠 無常之間
    從古到今有多遠 笑談之間
    從你到我有多遠 善解之間
    從心到心有多遠 天地之間
    當歡場變成荒台 當新歡笑著舊愛
    當記憶飄落塵埃 當一切是不可得的空白
    人生是多麼無常的醒來 人生是無常的醒來
    人生是無常的醒來

    Story in Sutra 




    莫高窟(Dunhuang Caves)俗称千佛洞,被誉为20世纪最有价值的文化发现、“东方卢浮宫”,坐落在河西走廊西端的敦煌,以精美的壁画和塑像闻名于世。它始建于十六国的前秦时期,历经十六国、北朝、隋、唐、五代、西夏、元等历代的兴建,形成巨大的规模,现有洞窟735个,壁画4.
    5万平方米、泥质彩塑2415尊,是世界上现存规模最大、内容最丰富的佛教艺术圣地。近代发现的藏经洞,内有5万多件古代文物,由此衍生专门研究藏经洞典籍和敦煌艺术的学科——敦煌学。1961年,被公布为第一批全国重点文物保护单位之一。1987年,被列为世界文化遗产。


    煌莫高窟開崖鑿窟的第一聲錘音,發生在前秦建元二年(公元366年)。在鳴沙山東麓執錘開山者是個僧人,名叫樂僔,後來被譽為「莫高窟創始人」。

    這段開山鑿窟的歷史,被記載於唐代《李克讓重修莫高窟佛龕碑》一書中:「莫高窟者,厥初,前秦建元二年有沙門樂僔,戒行空虛,執心恬靜,嘗杖錫林野。行至此山,忽見金光,狀有千佛……造窟一龕。次有法良禪師,從東屆此,又於僔師窟側更即營建。伽藍之起,濫觴於二僧。」

    莫高窟是古建筑、雕塑、壁画三者相结合的艺术宫殿,尤以丰富多彩的壁画着称于世。敦煌壁画容量和内容之丰富,是当今世界上任何宗教石窟、寺院或宫殿都不能媲美的。环顾洞窟的四周和窟顶,到处都画着佛像、飞天、伎乐、仙女等。
    有佛经故事画、经变画和佛教史迹画,也有神怪画和供养人画像,还有各式各样精美的装饰图案等。莫高窟的雕塑久享盛名。这里有高达33米的坐像,也有十几厘米的小菩萨,绝大部分洞窟都保存有塑像,数量众多,堪称是一座大型雕塑馆。

    ”“莫高窟是世界上最长、规模最大、内容最丰富的画廊。”“它是世界现存佛教艺术最伟大的宝库”。

    The Best Night View in Taipei !!!

    屋頂上    " The Top " ~~~~~ 
    台北是個很早就入睡的城市,
    街道上聽不見聲音⋯
    當我爬上陽明山的屋頂上,
    才發現在清澈的夜空下燈火闌珊,
    颱風過後的未眠之夜⋯⋯😍
    Taipei sleeps so early
    As if I cannot hear a murmur on the street ...
    When I walk on The Top of Yangming Mountain ,
    There is still scattered sleepless lights amidst the clear sky ,
    After a voracious hurricane yesternight... 

    Angel's Dream ~~ Ist Dream

    音響𥚃傳來蕭邦一首首的前奏曲,
    彷彿走進學生時代與十九世紀浪漫時期的交匯處。
    時間在空氣裏流動著,
    形成了一整片的彩虹天空,
    此刻的真實如夢似幻,
    是否海鴎穿越了虹的彼岸,
    就能與另一時間的你相遇?
    在夢境裏。。。

    😍Puccini' Il Triticco ~

    Three operas feature their subjects around Love and Death , that can be interpreted in various ways , detrimental , sacrifice , repentant, or materialistically realistic !! One is passionate , one is heartbroken with Heaven grace , one is comical !! 

    I had a lovely Sunday afternoon , met several friends , enjoyed the NSO and the Opera singers 
    who gave an excellent performance !
