Field of Reeds

I made myself a promise that I will go and see the exhibition held by British Museum in Hong Kong. And today I did.
From this small exbihition, I can tell how great the British Museum is, besides the Cairo Museum I love, British Museum is my second favourite! One day I will go to see the real Museum in England! And this is a new promise made to myself and Kemet Gods and Goddesses!
The items on display are selected from British Museum, and it covers the period from pre-history to later Europe, and geographically it covers the entire world. Although the theme is great, it also means the items will be limited. As a result the whole exbihition only display 250 items. And not all of them are the real treasures from British Museum. Anyway some items did impress me a lot.
First of all is two papyrus from ancient Egypt. They contains the most important religious articles called the Book of the Dead. And the second piece of the Queen's Lyre, it is so beautiful and luxurious but very peaceful. It seems can be played any minute. The last one is a statue dipicted the wine god from Greece. No need to say, he is extremly handsome and pure. The skills of ancient craftsmen is unbelievable.


After the exhibition, I went to see the sea view. When I was sitting one the platform with my friend, suddenly two girls showed up and asked us if they could sit down and talked about religion. Immediately I realized that they were going to persuade us to convert to Christianity. I smiled and did not say no. God knows why at that time I did not say no!? They began to ask if I have religion, and I said Yes, and I am a heretic. They stared me for several seconds and then looked at me interestingly and surprisingly. But they did not lose confidence to persuade me. They asked why I believe in Kemet, and I said I do not know why. They then wondered what is in that religion, I said something to them, and they asked me if I was confident enough to go to the paradise and I also siad yes. They did not give up, they mentioned the Sin. But I nenver buy the saying that I have sin, and I born to have sin, why?? No!!
I told them I did not but this saying in their religion, and I said religion is a personal affair, no one can intervene. I knew Christianity pretty well, but I never felt I belong there. But they continued saying: only the belief in Jesus can offer me the enterance to paradise, and real purity. Oh, Amun-Re, Jesus again! I do not think he is a god, I consider him always a human being. I am not comfortable worshipping a human as a god. In Islam and Juaism, Jesus is always a man, but in Christianity,he was deliberately made a god. And also I think Christianity is a copy of other religion. In all I would not convert. I tried hard to end this conversation, and I stood frim with my own religion. But this conversation was interesting,hehe.

在我roommi的強烈鼓動之下，我答應了在中秋節假期這天去到上環和中環旅遊（用旅遊者個詞是在很不好意思阿）。在大學，從來不缺乏的就是homework，但是旅遊的強烈誘惑，我是抵擋不住啊。
早上9點我被拽了起來，痛苦啊，我還想多睡一會兒阿。誰讓我答應了要出去呢？吃了個早飯就怕了出去，我看看灰蒙蒙的天，猜測好像要下雨，後悔穿了拖鞋出去，但是我又一想，哪有這麽巧，說下雨就下雨的？！ 所以就頭也不回地走了。
今天是公休，所以地鐵上沒有多少人，這顆舒服了很多，要是平時，那可是又擠死你不償命的架勢。舒舒服服的作了個地鐵，半個小時后就到了上環。我們沒有用多少時間就找到了我們的第一站：西港城，但是不知道是我們來得太早還是公休，很多店鋪都沒有開。我們只好在開的幾傢裏面晃蕩了幾下。其中有一家汽車模型點，裏面搜集了幾乎香港所有的公車，小巴的模型，非常可愛！
儅我們想繼續move on 的時候，天下起了大雨。不過香港的雨也很奇怪，沒有幾分鈡就停了。我發現了一個紅色的郵筒，呵呵，現在可很少見啊，應該有一定的年代了吧？
我們按照地圖走過了一條長長的乾貨街，街道很窄 ，典型的香港式，滿街的乾貨味道，我實在不喜歡。走過街道，我發現我們lost了，好在朋友的方向感不差，一回就走上的正途。藥材街，古董街，文武廟，蘭桂枋，教堂。。。走了好多地方。我好嬾的，也不想一一描述，有興趣的朋友來香港自己看吧。
儅我們基本上完成的時候已經是下午的3點了，我們準備回去，但是我想去買一瓶洗頭膏。所以就直接去了大商城。賣完洗髮膏走出去的時候，袋子裏面有多了一瓶透明的指甲油，誘惑阿誘惑！
本來真的就要回去了，但是我突然想起來星期5答應了德語老師到理工大學幫忙的，她說要be nice，但是我只有正裝，而且我也想換條西裝裏面的襯衫，所以我們就接着逛了下去，果然我找到了一條竪領的代花邊的襯衫，很喜歡，穿着也很合身，就買了下來，這件襯衫就算不穿西裝也可以的，哦哈哈哈。就這樣，我就決定了我星期5的穿着：超高跟皮鞋+牛仔褲+花邊襯衫+西裝。
今天還是有收穫的，但是晚上我要好好看書了，明天有一個tutor，德國來的帥哥老師還是很厲害的。

This is my desk, from up tp down, from left to right. All important things werephotoed here. It is interesting, and is a record of my life.

在我今天早晨，半醒半睡的情況下，我聽到的雨聲，擡起眼來看了一下，浩大的雨，下的窗外的景色全部被白白的霧遮住了。我很喜歡雨，我特別喜歡沒有事情做的下雨的日子，但是我今天8：30卻有課，接下去還有5個小時的課，真不想去阿，卻又逃不掉。。。但是我卻告訴自己：8：30的課不去了。人在床上的時候意志力是最薄弱的時候，有着機強誘惑力的句子從我自己的腦子裏出現，我做什麽都沒有辦法抗拒了。這不，逃了一個小時的地理課，去吃了一個不緊不慢的早飯之後就開始有罪惡感了。做過的事情無法挽回，下次再也不做了！（心裏還是發虛阿，這句話又會在怎樣的情況下打破呢？）
不過這個星期還真的很不錯，星期三放假，中秋節嘛，呵呵，準備和室友一起去中環和上環去看舊建築，順便可能去逛街。接下來，這個周末有三天假期，國慶嘛，呵呵，準備去尖沙嘴的博物館看展覽，我親愛的大英博物館來了！！
真希望這個星期一和二可以快點過啊。
這個星期4我就要開始一門新的語言課了，日語，本來以爲這個學期沒有機會了，但是Thank Amun-Re，我奇跡般的從waiting list跳到了registered，哦哈哈哈。有朋友問我：廣東話，英文，德文，再來一個日語，你承受得住嗎？這就讓我想起了德文課本上的一句話：so viele Sprachen du kannst, so viele Male bist du Mensch. 不管承不承受得住，先拭一下再説啦。
還有一個好消息就是日本友人受了我一個和式風鈴，很可愛啊，哦哈哈！

I was rushing through my collection of pictures of ancient Egypt. Suddenly I felt a slight trace of sadness. It appeared out of nowhere, but I can feel it so clearly like I can feel the blowing of wind. Why? I asked myself, no answer…

Looking into the darkness of night, I tried to search the history of ancient Egypt and me. Unfortunately I have no clear idea of how I fell in love with it. But I do know that I love it. Now ancient Egypt is my love, my power, my pursuit, my pain and maybe my destiny.

I am glad that I found ancient Egypt, and in turn it did change my life trace. Without it I can not imagine what I am doing now. Sometimes I even think maybe I was an Egyptian far, far away in the past. For me it is so natural to see the paintings, the buildings, the belief, and even those mummies. I even can not remember since when I began to search and collect things related to ancient Egypt, even just a little relation.

There was a saying which regarded serious interest as mental illness. I do not know whether or not it was true, but I do not care, instead I am happy to have this illness. Once at a dinner my uncle told me that maybe ancient Egypt is the hidden power which is influencing me, and I think it is true.

Why is she so special?! I wanna be like her, and experience the same like she did!
She was really blessed by Egyptian Gods.
She escaped from death, then fell in love with ancient Egypt.
She claimed herself as a priestess of Isis, she studied under an Egyptologist,
She saw the reappearance of Sety the First, she talked to him.
She was loved by a Great Pharaoh, she believed ancient Egyptian religion which I am too.
She worked in Egypt and also lived there,
She could enter all the temples without limitation,
She could sleep with Sety and my beloved Ramsses.
She could drink wine with them.
She could die in Abydos!

I am so jealous about her life, and her experiences, I wish I could have the same, but I have been already lucky enough, to be blesses by Egyptian Gods and Goddess! Thank Amun-Re!!

本來不想用中文寫，但是今天特殊吧。多事之日阿。T-T

一大早8點我的多拉A夢開始拽我起床，不過這只貓一向來就很失敗，從來沒有成功過，相反我今天又成功的在床上多呆了30多分鈡，要不是還有3個小時的德文 課，我可真的想一睡解千愁啊。跌跌撞撞的爬起床，踫到了從德國來的厠友，一句Gute Morgen!就鑽進了廁所。她也開始洗澡。早晨那早晨。。。

洗漱之後吃了早餐，就爬向教室。 面對着看了一年的同學，麻木中。只有我們新來的德文老師還讓我來點勁。儅我第一次看到她的時候，她看上去好兇，我預感到我的Year 2將會多麽的miserable，但是我錯了，老師還是很風趣的，至少要比我們可愛的印度老師Tushar上課來的有趣。可能是早上喝了一杯Kaffee 的緣故，不到一個小時，我就覺得我需要上厠所，但是無巧不成書，老師偏偏要開始做聽力，走不掉了。我凴着我的意志力奪堅持了半個小時，可是老師還是沒有要 break的跡象，我的極限快要到了，説什麽我都沖了出去，人有三急嘛，哦哈哈哈。。。吃午飯之前又遇到了我的厠友，突然有一個idea出現了，我操起我 的粗糙德語，問她想不想去11月的啤酒節，她說：gern！呵呵，有個德國人一起去啤酒節應該會很不錯的！

上完課，本來一天的可就沒有了，但是這個星期我們department偏偏又有兩次seminar，逃不掉。我們的帥哥德國老師阿Hess親切的對 我們說：你們兩次都要來！T-T god knows how boring those seminars will be!?這不，我又凴着我巨人的毅力堅持了兩個小時，其間來自英國的學者滔滔不絕的講着歐盟的形成，我卻心思亂飛，罪惡阿，一點也沒有get到中心思想， anyway,我猜想應該是關於commem market的。

回到宿舍例行公事給媽媽打電話，告訴她我想洗牙，沒想到我媽媽堅決反對，她強調說，洗牙會把一層保護膜洗掉的，看來我的90HKD要飛走了。之後我想我媽 抱怨，ATM吃了我300塊錢。本來想拿點錢，沒想到這破機器扣了我的錢卻沒有把錢吐出來，看來我星期一要向銀行把錢拿回來了。。。埃。。。生活真的一波 接着一波，沒完沒了。

My new music album is from Spain.

Elbosco was the name of a joint Spanish musical group that achieved world success with the song Nirvana in 1995.

The group consisted of the boys choral group of the Escolanía del Real Monasterio of San Lorenzo, with boys between 9 and 14 years old along with adult instrumentalists and soloists. In 1995, the group released the disk Angelis, with the hit song Nirvana which was used by Danny Boyle in the film 'Millions'. The music, a mixture of Gregorian chants with hip-hop and techno, with a mixture of Latin and English vocals, attained international fame. They also released a Portuguese version of the disk with the same title. The group mixed classical music, boys chorus and synth generated sounds, resulting in a sound similar to that of Enigma.

In the monastery, 100 boys are selected for their musical talent and presented in white robes.

Since the arrival of Elbosco, several similar groups arose, but did not attain the same success as Nirvana.

According to the secret diary of Omm Sety, one night of 1972, the long gone Sety was coming to Omm Sety and he lay down besides her, and put his arms around her. They talked something unbelievable. Omm Sety invited Sety to tell the near death experience. And Sety did, he said: the feeling was wonderful, just as you feel your Akh is released from your body. But one's thoughts and feelings remain the same." Sety saw his surroundings: his lileless body, his son Ramsses, and his daughter was crying bitterly. Then he went to the judgement hall which was in the religion and myth of ancient Egypt. At last he told the story of searching for the reincarnation of his beloved girl( now Omm Sety), and he crossed the time and saw many strange places and things.
Is this true that a spirit from ancient times really could go beyond the time and come to us? Is it true that all the myth and Egyptian religion state the truth of life and death? Is that true that Omm Sety was really a reincarnation? Is her story true?
There are so many "is that", I wish Omm Sety could personally tell me her experience and maybe she and Sety, I wish she could be alive now.
I have to continue the book, I am sure I will have more discoveries, and more surprises.

Jesse A. McCartney (born April 9, 1987) is an American pop singer and Daytime Emmy-nominated actor. McCartney initially came to fame in the early 2000s, as a member of the boy band Dream Street, and subsequently branched out into a solo career, having appeared on the television series Summerland and released two music albums, Beautiful Soul and Right Where You Want Me.

Finally I got this excellent book which is about the life of an extraordinary woman who believed in herself that she was a priestess of Isis in ancient Egypt.
And about this women:
(from one of my blog article)

"Dorothy Eady who was known as Omm Sety: the Mother of Sety. I remember that the first time I came across this lady was during my reading of an ancient Egyptian book. But few years later, I totally forgot her. With some unknown reasons, I suddenly wanna know her now. So I checked the internet for some info about her, because the memory about her in me was too blur. To my great surprise, there is little info about her. I tried my best, the only info I got was a summery.

I spent nearly three hours wandering in a shopping centre, trying to get some clothes that will fit me. But I didn't have satisfaction with me when I walking out the Unico. Originally I did not want to go further more, but I remembered suddenly that recently there was something wrong with my face,maybe because my overeating...So I walked in to a body care shop. Normally I do not spend any of my momey on those products, but this time I got really badluck,those little things kept coming out from my face, and no trace of stopping. I was forced to do something!
Oh Amun-Re!
My roonmate recommended me a product which is effective with those little things, and I decided to give it a fly. I spent 65 HKD on this tiny bottle of tea tree oil. I said to myself: that is all! When I turned around and was ready to leave, a saleswoman began to introduce a bath and shower gel product to me, I was going to say no, and was considering how to reject. But.....I immediately heared a word lotus smell! What?! that is my favourite. That is the flower of Egypt and ancient Egypt! Thank Amun-Re.
Several mounths ago I desired a perfume called the Garden of Nile produced by Hermes. But for me it was to expensive, and it had noway that I could afford it. So I had to quit. But this time...ohahaha when the saleswoman tried some on me, I was persuaded to take my momey out of my pocket. At last I also bought one bottle more, the white bottle, also lotus smell. Anyway they are not expensive as that perfume.

Meine Heimat ist in der Vergangenheit. Die ist nicht mehr da.
I ch komme aus eine kleine Stadt. Als ich ein Kind war, habe ich in meiner Heimat viel Spass gemacht. Aber jetzt sieht die kleine Stadt verschiedene aus. Heute hat die Stadt zu viel Leute. Es gibt zu viel Verschmutzungen. Der Fluss ist nicht mehr sauber, die Haeuse sind hoch. Die Luft ist nicht frisch.
Aber ich habe mich immer daran erinnern, dass meine Heimat fuer mich ein Paradies ist.
Als ich klein war, gab es einen ziemlich sauber Fluss. Ueber dem Fluss gab es drei Steinbruecke. Im Sommerferien habe ich mit meiner Familie im Fluss geschwommen. Manchmal habe ich mit meinen Freunden entlang den Fluss gespielen. Das Best war, im Fruehling habe ich mit meinem Vater ueber dem Feld Drachen gespielen. Ueber dem Feld war hellgelb Blumen. Damal mag ich die Natur, und ich Moechte immer in der Natur sein. Manchmal blieb ich gern bei meiner Grossmutter. Sie hat ein sehr grosses, altes Chinseses Haus. Nach der Schule bin ich ganz schnell zu Grossmutter gelaufen und mit meinen Freunden " hide and seek" gespielen.
Meine Heimat ist die kleine Stadt, die immer in meinem Gedaechtnis bleibt.

The third year of my Uni life in Hong Kong. Yesterday I was going to Hong Kong, bang! I habe been in Hong Kong for two years, what I have done? What I am going to do? Sometimes I think about those questions, but the fact is that I always focus on the things coming in one or two weeks. I think I really need a long term plan. I have promised myself to realize my Egyptian dream, I can not let it go!! Amun-Re!

People outside the uni dream the life inside uni, but actually, I do not think there is any difference between two groups. People outside are busy with their making momey, making life better, we too, are doing our best to create a somehow better future. People all are fighting with the present time for the future time.

Did I go too far of judging my uni life?....I just had a floor meeting with all new guys this semester. I am lucky to have a chance living in the Internet floor, most of our guys are from all over the world. And I have further luck, we have 5 Germans this semester, maybe I will get more chance to practise my German, beside my toilemate is also from German, ohaha:> Thank Amun-Re!

While I was writing my blog, I was enjoying my new favourite musik from Germany. It is a New Age Musik stype, and quite good! And I do not know why, those strong , dark, mysterious musik really attracts me.

And I realize that Germany does produce excellent musicians.

Tomorrow I have to repeat what I do every day, get up, go to class, the difference is that the three hour German lessern is always the most exciting class. But I found that since I got back from German, my German is notvas good as that I had in Germany, maybe I do not have the environment here. Because in Geramny I was forced to use German everyday, even as long as 6,7 hours, but here although I have lesserns, I have rear chance of pratice. Maybe I have to try harder!

A week past since the begining of my new semester. This semester I have a brand new topic of European Study, Germany. That means I have to understand the development of Germany. At first I had little interest in the history of Germany, because I think there is nowhere special except the part of Hitler. However after the first class I found that this year will be exciting and challenging.
The main purpose of this course is to understand the interesting way of development of Germany compared to the countries like France.The history of Germany is not that smooth, but quite unique and hard.
How to pu this? At first Germany was called the Holy Roman Empire, but the emperor held no actual power, the nation was in a loose confederation. After the collapse, Germany adopted no democracy, yeah...there was revolutions, but they did not succeed in establishing democratical power. Later was the second Empire built by Bismak, the third one was by Hitler. What my Prof trying to do in this course is to prove that the German had and have the cultrue of democracy, the reason why those empires and Hitler came to power lied not in cultural reason, but others. He will exam those reasons.
But I am doubtfull, I think Germany do has a culture differed from France, the people in Germany sometimes hope the appearance of a strong leader, especailly in crisis. Some famous historians, too think in this way. Even the witnesses in the government of Hitler regarded the reason why Hitler came to power was the hope of German people.
Maybe Hess will convincing me, who knows, just go and see and learn.

Ich mag New Age Music, das bin ich sicher, besonders mag ich Enigma und Era. Manchmal hoere ich auch die Pop Musik, aber die finde ich schlecht.
During the summer break, I found something new for myself. Some Indian style New Age, one group is called Rasa, and the other is from the musician called Prem Joshua. I really .like those musics, I am sure I am absorbed by them. They are mysterious, remote, peace...beyong expression, or maybe my Eng is too bad to describe them.

RASA'S MUSIC is based on Indian devotional songs from the Vaishnava tradition. Many of India's finest writers have provided songs in praise of God or expressed a yearning to be closer to the Divine- a desire that has inspired many artists, from many cultures, for many years. Combining these songs with their unique arrangements, RASA has developed a sound that is soulful, respectful of the traditional sources, and very accessible to a western audience. Their music blends meditative, transcendental, and ethereal qualities into an elegant, contemporary style.



here is the list of their albums.

Thank Amun-Re.

人們常說倒霉起來喝涼水也塞牙，我今天算是領會到了這句話的真確性。
説道倒霉要從今天的淩晨開始，我努力的4個小時，也沒有讓自己睡着，説白了失眠，都快把我弄瘋掉了，剛開學就這個樣子。失眠就失眠吧，我也沒有放在心上，大白天去銀行的ATM機上操作點，沒想到把我的銀行卡給吞了，還得我明天去銀行拿出來。我的Amun-Re阿，可能是Amun-Re在懲罰我，或者是他的考驗我？應該是的了吧？
Life is really not that easy, every one is trying his best to live better, but some times, misfortune follows u all the way. The only thing , I think I can do is to smile back, and try even harder.
Amun-Re bless me!
