- a poet

to awaken the poet in anybody, you need to put him through all sorts of experiences...usually the worst kinds....like chiselling a flower from a very hard stone. of course, then he also must have acquired that language skills....it is only through the hands of God/nature that a poet can be born. i hope i am right in explanation. i also hope i will not be perceived as self conceited. it is just a way of getting things out of my system and understand the situation one is in.

The condominum is in Repulse Bay, the best place in Hong Kong to live because the prosperity element here is best according to fengshui master.
