一百元的旅程
“得知你家困難,寄錢一百略表寸心。”不行,不行,他一筆劃掉,擰眉沉思片刻重新寫道:“不要問錢從哪來,治病要緊,別拖了。”不行,還是能看出來。他用筆敲一下頭:怎麼措辭才好呢?
“已經下班了。”郵局的營業員催促。
“就好。”筆尖在匯款單附言欄划動著:“不要問錢從哪來,把它用在最緊要的地方吧。好心人。”
走出郵局,他長長地吁了口氣。到學校快一個月了,媽還病著麼?唉,媽怎麼就不聽勸呢?不能怕花錢就不治病呀!爹竟幫媽說話,難道沒看見媽病痛的樣子麼?以後會治,總是以後,以後是哪一天呢?他嘆了口氣。
來城裏上學時,爹非要把最後的五十元錢再給他帶上。那怎麼行呢?我帶得已經夠多了。你說別人家的孩子一學期花多少,這哪能比呢?我不是他們,咱 家也不是別人家呀。真的夠了!爹,你別難過,媽看見又要流淚了。我會吃好的,會看護好自己,會常給家裏寫信。他眼裏閃著淚花,扭頭看看身邊,行人匆匆,沒 有人注意他。
開學後,學校評學習標兵。他沒有想到學校一下子獎給他一百元!拿到錢,他第一個念頭就是把這錢給家裏,讓媽媽治病。但是怎麼寄呢?想來想去,他決定以“好心人”的名義把錢“捐”給家裏。
有了這一百塊錢,再借點兒,媽總可以去看一下病買些藥了。對,一定要讓媽去治病,不能再拖了。得寫封信再勸一下他們,今晚就寫!他想著,似乎媽已經去了醫院,病也已經好起來了。他臉上露出一絲淺淺的笑。
太陽的余暉快褪盡了。火燒雲在不斷地變幻著形態。看,那不是爹在躬身犁地麼?不,像是在推車。哦,還有媽,多像拖著病體在地裏勞作的媽媽呀!還看得見她那飄動的白髮……
十二天后的上午。天晴得真好。人不覺得太熱,暖得很。放學時,老師叫住他,遞給他一張紙。看到那張紙的瞬間,他一陣眩暈。他的心在顫,手在抖, 一張年輕堅毅的方臉痛苦地扭曲著,強忍的眼淚還是泉涌出而。淚珠濺落在匯款單上,打濕了附言欄中那兩行小字:有個好心人給咱家寄了些錢,給你一百。要學好 吃好,家裏平安,別挂心。

Cafe Belge, Brighton
Moules and Frites! Mussels and Fries!
Usually when we think of moules and frites, Belgo in Convent Garden, London is the first one comes to our mind. We love mussels but we don't always goes to London. Is cooking at home the only way to enjoy mussels now? Cafe Belge was recommended to us.
Cafe Belge is situated at Brighton seafront. Inside the restaurant, there are lots of Tintin pictures on the wall. Like many typical Belgian restaurants, they have a long list of beers and drinks on the drink menu. On the food menu, one of the pages is the 50 ways to cook mussels. I had No 17 - Red Thai Curry with Coconut Milk, Chili, Garlic, Wine, Herbs, Cream and Vegetables £11.95 and Fat Bear had No 30 - Spanish - Peppers, Saffron, Sherry, Garlic, Tomato and Prawns £12.50. For dessert, we had Bailey's Cheesecake and Belgian Waffle, of course.

I'm Not a Plastic Bag from Anya Hindmarch
It is such a famous bag. Anya Hindmarch's "I'm not a plastic bag" has made lot of women in this world gone crazy. I have to say it is mainly because of the designer brand and celebrities effect.
The "I'm not a plastic bag" was co-created by We Are What We Do and UK handbag designer Anya Hindmarch. This campaign is to make the awareness of "Say No to Plastic Bag". It first came out in March this year in Anya Hindmarch's shops in the UK. And also on We Are What We Do website. In April, it was on sale in the big supermarket chain Sainsbury's. The bags flied out the shops and sold out in 2 hours. Now a limited edition of different colour bags are available for people outside UK. The colours are brown (original), green, blue and grey.
I am one of the lucky ones who are able to get hold of this bag in blue via We Are What We Do. To be honest, before I knew about this bag and campaign, I was already using cotton shopper bags (some of them made by my mum) instead of plastic bags. I remember at the beginning, the cashier at the shops looked shocked when I said "I don't need a bag, thanks!" and they said to me "Are you sure?"
I am so happy now people are more aware of this issue and try to reuse and refuse plastic bags.
Go Green People!

Hong Kong SAR 10th Anniversary 香港回歸祖國10週年

There was a large firework display over Victoria Harbour to celebrate this milestone of Hong Kong.
There is a theme song I would like to share.
HKSAR 10th Anniversary - Theme Song
"Just Because You Are Here" - Lyrics
Composed by Peter Kam
English Lyrics by Chan Siu-kei, Peter Kam and Ben Chong
Sparkling lights across the skies
Fill our hearts with pride
Taking us thru' the best of times
Deep within the Dragon's heart
East and west reside
Prosperity with love inside
Lion Rock leads us all the way to the ancient Walls
In harmony we will stand tall
Let the beautiful bauhinia
Blossom in the wind
Flying so strong and free
Holding on to the fire of our dreams
There's a hero in you, a hero in me
Just because you are here
Let your voice be heard for a thousand years
Just because we are here
Let the good times roll for a thousand years
Thru the joy, thru the pain, thru the cheers
We'll do our best every season, every moment
Never giving up
Just because you are here
