I Slept Like A Log Instead..

Day #28 in Kai Ping, Guangzhou. The supper from last night sits comfortably in my stomach like a brick as i lug myself out of bed. If i close my eyes i can still feel the warmth of yesterday's night with its glittering hawkers stalls and loud laughters. Today we are traveling back to Guangzhou. Another three hours on the road, and the castles of Majianglong would become just a memory.

I secretly wish i dreamt last night. I thought being wrapped up in this historic backdrop with its rough texture of life would be inspiring, but no, i slept like a log instead.

Here are some of my favourite shots of Guangzhou :D

I'm not very blog-worthy lately. Words don't flow that smooth anymore. Dunno why.

I Crave You

Day #27 in Guangzhou, chickity China. Today i'm on my way to Kai Ping; a forgotten town southeast of Guangzhou. I heard wong kar wai was just there finishing his three years film project, on yet another ipman memoir. I wonder how much more story can they squeeze out of the poor man before the world gets bored and moved on to another kungfu superhero. Better still, i wonder when will hollywood do an ipman version of their own, and screw it up with zac efron or that harold guy from harold&kumar as the lead. I wonder when..

The endless drive across the gloomy morning sky was rather a depressing trip this morning. Spread across a vast landscape of paddy fields and fruit trees were tiny villages of not more than ten brick houses, each a little fairy tale of its own. I see chimneys burning a sky of clouds as mothers prepare breakfast for her child before the little ones cycle off to school. I see fathers sitting outside the house, enjoying his last puff of cigarette before work starts for the day.

I do sometimes crave for life simplicities like this.

Wong Kar Wai's Filming Set :D
