I wasn't planning to pick up my camera again. My dearest old friend Fujifilm X20 Auburn Botanic Garden

向來我對墨爾本人的印象都是他們很懂咖啡。最近來了一個從墨爾本來的學生，當我滿懷歡喜的問他最喜歡的咖啡時，想不到他的答案竟然說是連鎖店的咖啡，而且也喜歡從超市裏面買到冷咖啡和即溶咖啡。也許我對他們的誤解也太深了。

想放假的心情已經徘徊了很久，今日終於有一日假期。我比平時更加早起，就因為不想浪費，而要充分利用唯一一日的假期。昨晚已經上網找到一間想去的咖啡店，亦都安排好今日的行程。 很久沒有去找一間咖啡店，山長水又遠，就是為了一杯咖啡。想起以前讀書時，週末活動一定要去找一杯好咖啡，而平常喝的咖啡也絕不馬馬虎虎。反而人愈大，特別是岀來工作以後，咖啡就只是扮演著提神的角色，一杯落肚就罷了。對味道的執著隨之冷卻，味蕾的敏感度也漸漸地減弱。 今日去了位於Marrickville的ONA coffee，事前我大抵查看了他們的menu，就是衝著他們的reserve menu而來。我讓職員為我推介，他首先問我budget，他們的咖啡由AUD 4 -32不等，我已有心理準備去試他們任何的推介。最後他為我選擇了這一杯咖啡。 這應該是我在澳洲飲過最貴的咖啡AUD 22，不過我仍然覺得物有所值。從選豆到水溫控制，從咖啡味道和質感，我在Sydney也很久沒有嘗到高質素的手沖咖啡。老實說，我已經不太會品岀咖啡中不同的味道，我喜歡的是V60能把咖啡的層次分明的呈現出來。從剛沖好的時候到漸漸冷卻的味道可以有明顯的不同。隨著溫度的轉變，每一口的味道也不同，好像又一杯新的咖啡一樣。一壼手沖給予我清香、甘甜、草本、花香，一次又一次的刺激我的味蕾，喚醒我的味覺。 不知道幾時會再有百年一遇的平凡假期，再一次去尋找令人會心微笑的好咖啡。在索然無味的日子裡加上一點刺激和色彩。

My friend asked me to teach her mum to swim. To be very honest, I have never taught swimming and I also can't say I am a good swimmer. I learnt how to swim when I was only 5-6 years old. Somehow swimming is like an intrinsic skill to me. For me to teach, I actually need to research on it and learn in from a basic level.

Few things I want to achieve this year. I have been slacking off for too long. It is time to pick up some old interests and get something down before it is too late. 1. Read books 2. Photography 3. Writing 4. Study 5. Create If I have to list out everything I want to do, it probably takes me an hour. Let's work it out first.

想點？ 姐姐我玩唔起，亦都唔想玩。 或許係我認真左，不過我團火熄左喇，再見。

Funny story. I went out for a sole walk last weekend, took myself to random middle of nowhere. When I went back to work today, everyone was so impressed by me doing all this independent little journeys. Saying that I am very inspiring about taking my me-time. The reality is I have no one to go with. Me time is literally 24/7. Nothing to proud of being a lonesome.
