Mung Bean Pastry
Mung Bean Pastry We took a train to the north today around noon time. I picked two of the pastries my sister has brought. One was Mung Bean Pastry and the other with curry flavored stuffing.
“Which one would you like?” I asked my mom.
“The one with mung beans then.” she answered without much hesitation.
Watching her slowly and carefully biting into the relatively soft pastry, a wave of unknown sadness filled my heart.
I wonder how much longer she’d be able to travel like this. Or rather, how much long she’d be able to travel at all..

Flight before the Dawn.
Flight before the Dawn. It was still dark and extremely cold when we said goodbye to our friends. When the airplane broke through the clouds, the world underneath was magical..

One Brief Evening in Zürich.
One Brief Evening in Zürich. I hopped on a bus by myself and went to Zürich late afternoon today, hoping for a glimpse of the city. The air was freezing cold and my hands almost went numb. I clicked the shutter without much thought, hoping one of them would turn out okay. It was my last chance capturing Zürich before we say goodbye early tomorrow morning.

C’est la Vie..
C’est la Vie.. That’s life.. Things rarely go as planned. But in the process, beautiful things might just happen. And that’s life as well.
The future is unknowable. It’s an illusion that we have any control over it. However, it is not to say that we should stop dreaming..

Life is a Show.
Life is a Show. Life is a show, and we are all performing our roles.
Our train going back to Zürich stopped at Neuchâtel station briefly. It happened that there were people in front of the window and the lighting was perfect. I grabbed my camera and captured a few images of this passenger, who apparently was waiting for a different train.

Happy New Year..
Happy New Year.. Woke up this morning to some tragic news. Accidents and violence broke out around the world. Many people already presume that it’s going to be a tough year.. Still, life will go on, and we all need to somehow find a inner peace within our hearts.

Lake Lugano
Lake Lugano We stayed two nights in Lugano at a lakefront hotel. This was the view from our room window. Looking out the window, I repeatedly reminded myself I should get out and take a walk along the lake. But it never happened. Deep down, I’m afraid that if I ever returned to this place, lots of things would be different. I would be by myself, looking back the years that we traveled together..

Reflected Reality
Reflected Reality Before reaching our destination, the train stopped at Bellinzona Station. I noticed our train reflected on the glass walls of the elevator and another train in the background. The dimensions between them triggered my attention.
