crying story

'crying' story is my favourite among those told and untold stories.
in this story, i put rain and tears together.
rain works like miracle to wash firth in the air.
tears, just like rain, wash away unhappiness.
this is the reason why i like this story.
while drawing the story, i had this hymn bubbling in me.
I often heard it when i went to the assembly.


Joy is Like the Rain

I saw raindrops on my window
Joy is like the rain
Laughter runs across my pain
Slips away and comes again
Joy is like the rain.

I saw clouds upon a mountain
Joy is like the cloud
Sometimes silver sometimes grey
Always sun not far away
Joy is like the cloud.

I saw raindrops on the river
Joy is like the rain
Bit by bit the river grows
Till all at once it overflows
Joy is like the rain
Joy is like the rain.

story: why are you crying? (10)

© copyright 2005 not zero workshop.


天涼
刮起風來

微微的風
擦乾我們的眼淚

太陽出來
我們笑了


The soft breeze wipes our tears away...
It's sunny again.
Smile.


The End...完...

我想知道蝴蝶的生活是怎樣的
於是我去探望毛毛

毛毛在哭

我：「為甚麼你哭了？」
毛毛：「 我快要變成蝴蝶的模樣，我怕你們不跟我做朋友。」


I go to see Momo.
I want to see how she becomes a butterfly.

She is crying.

I ask, 'Why are you crying, Momo?'
Momo replies, 'Will we be friends again when I become a butterfly?'

story: why are you crying? (8)

© copyright 2005 not zero workshop.

山洞裡
又黑又濕
我怕
我見到一團光

原來
是一隻發光的蝙蝠
他在哭

我：「為甚麼你哭了？」
阿福：「我全身發光，太刺眼，害我失眠。」

我卻喜歡發光的阿福。


The cave is dark and wet.
It is very frightening to walk in the dark.
But I see a dim light around the corner.

I see a bat.
A crying bat.

I ask, 'Why are you crying?'
The gloomy bat replies, 'I am a shining bat. My body is so shiny that I cannot sleep.'

But I like this shiny bat.


..to be continued...待續...

let's continue our story...

幸好，迷了路的Not和Olav遇上鯨魚小藍。
小藍把他們送回家。

不久，Not再次出發。

long, long ago, Major Nils Olav and Not went for an expedition.
After reaching the tip of the gigantic Iceberg, they met Blue, the little whale.
Blue took them home safely.

Not goes for another journey.

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (1)

it's the talk of the town.
we have been feeding the info of its opening everyday.
it's on tv, newspaper, radio, almost everywhere.

actually, i have never imagined myself going to the disneyland before the grand opening.
it's a rehearsal day by invitation.

here it comes...

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (2)

i arrived at sunny bay around 10:00.
after i entered the gate outside mtr station, i saw the fountain.
you'll see mickey surfing.
very crowded. could not get close to the fountain.
everyone was very busy, busy taking photos.

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (3)

it's better leave the crowd and get into disneyland.
we had several strategies to get rid of the crowds and play the most popular games.
so we rushed.
...sorry, no pictures at the front gate. ... we were in a hurry to see buzz lightyear.

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (4)

...buzz...o....buzz!!!

regardless of any cartoon characters on our way, went to tomorrowland.
we went for Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters.
we stayed in queue for less than 15 minutes.
the game was fun!!! i hit level 3.

my group decided not to go for Space Mountain.
i had it once at tokyo disneyland. ... i don't like it.

but one of my friends wanted to try.
unfortunately, the queuing time was 180 mins. the fast pass could not be used any more.
so, she tried 'single rider'. it took her around 20 mins to get in.

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (5)

after seeing buzz, we went to fantasyland.
can you see the queue around the corner?
sleeping beauty was there.
sorry my head was too big, so you could not see her at all.

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (6)

we went to see winnie-the-pooh
of course, we needed to queue...
while i was in the line, i had this funny impression...
the booth looked very much alike...
Lai Chi Kok Amusement Park (Lai-Yuen). ...

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (7)

then we went for Mickey's PhilharMagic

very good!!! must watch!!!

remember to use fast pass.

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (8)

after the film, we went for the 1:00 p.m. parade.
very, very, very, very, very hot.
i was melting...

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (9)

finally... the parade!!! my friend...my friend... my friend...


alice in the wonderland...my favourite story


the final...also the standard.

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (10)

another show - festival of the lion king
i've been waiting in the heat for too long,...so i almost felt asleep in the air-cond theatre.
the musical was quite good.

remember to use fast pass.

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (12)

merry-go-round... i like it.

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (11)

the dinning hall...we had fast food at the grand hall.
many people were waiting. it's little going for 'yum-cha' when i was young.
food was alright. my favourite was grilled chicken breast and its side dish.

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (13)

Mad Hatter Tea Cups...keep spinning...i felt dizzy.

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (14)

spinning planets... fly me to the moon...
Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words hold my hand
In other words darling kiss me ~

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (15)

i saw a tree. a tree with green bubbles.

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (16)

the sky was blue...
my legs were numb...

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (17)

it's around 6:30 p.m.
we caught the train and traveled around the theme park.



we left the train at 7:15 p.m. just right for a show at the Storybook Theater.
must see. the stage effect was wonderful.
the most important thing was i didn't need to walk around the park to catch these characters.

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (18)

it's pretty dark after the show. but i like the lights.

zero's excursion to hkdisneyland (19)

it's night time.
best time for adventure.
we rode a raft to Tarzan Island.
we visited his tree house. nice view from the top.

then we went for a jungle cruise.
we were haunted by the wild animals (however, they are not real animals.), water effects, fire effects.
the effects were so great that i forgot to take pictures.

we also saw the fireworks while having the cruise.
so i was quite split at that time
because i had a horrible water and fire effect on my right hand side; i had fireworks on my left.
very busy to see both things with two eyes.
