X- boy, X- girl. ARe we living around the mutants?

I am amazed with this boy my husband shot in the tibetan village on our latest trip to Grand Shangri-la.




The boy is a one of twin brothers; strangely, his twin brother has dark brown eyes, but he has bright blue eyes. ( Click to view larger picture.)

A recent Danish science study suggest blue-eyed humans have a single, common ancestor, perhaps this Tibetan boy and the Geisha in Japan are relatives?




The origin of Tibetan people is a subject of hard study. Some suggest that the majority of Tibetan gene pool may have diverged from the Han around 3,000 years ago. However, there are evidences of much earlier human inhabitation of Tibet. The distribution of Haplogroup D-M174 is found among all the populations of Central Asia and Northeast Asia south of Russian border, although generally at a low frequency of 2% or less. A dramatic spike in the frequency of D-M174 occurs as one approach the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau of western China. D-M174 is also found at high frequencies in Japanese people but it fades into low frequencies in the Han populated Mainland

My latest spot for Creativity....Hospital bed.

The latest of my product design was the dish rack design project.
I had joys on doing this project because it was the two three days that I had no complaint about washing the plates. I considered it,part of my behavior research. Also I did them in the hospital while staying with my mom on her recovering process after her operation.



So, I got insight info and some good advices from the nurses, doctors and the hospital cleaning ladies.
Every night when any of people mentioned above came in to check my mom, they checked my design too. The bad thing about this project was that I seriously need to go to the Thai massage place afterwards because working in tiny hospital-extra bed was not the best spot for creativity. It could hurt your muscle and your sitting posture.
Anyway, stop by this link to Review them and make a guess which two are my design.

There is no prize but i would consider to go wash your dishes for a night.( If you cook dinner for me)

I've been traveling professionally and vacationally to China since 2001. Nearly 10 years, I've began to understand and fascinate of the Chinese and their culture. After all, I am Oversea Chinese so, it should not be odd to want to learn more about my root. As CBT, Chinese born Thai, I have witnessed the differences of mainland Chinese and Thai-Chinese. It amazes me sometimes of how mainland Chinese have changed and how frustrating we ,oversea Chinese still stuck on old and outdated tradition. My eyes see more cool and chic about china when I am in mainland China. Not only, in the new and modern city like Shanghai, Beijing or Chongxing...more to come. But even when I was in the remote area nearly to Tibet, still I could find a lot of cool and chic Chinese ideas or believings. I feel that there are so much to learn about this culture and would like to blog them in my Chic China Club journal.

Weekend world

My weekend is different each time depends on where I stay. It is unpredictable, unplanned, but totally fun.
During the weekday, I and my husband sleep in our photography studio because it is convenient for working, no need to be commute on the street on unnecessary rush hour-traffic chaos/crisis of Bangkok. Therefore, our weekend is important, it is our objective when we moved to stay in the studio that we would not assembly the bathtub because we would gonna spend a weekend in different hotel each week and use their bathtub. It became more than just a tub,I usually book the hotel looking as well their swimming pool, their gym, their other fancy facilities. It is mandatory for my career to be as up to date as possible to all design, technology and latest interior and living space experience. This idea suites our needs both professionally and personally and econoimically. The latter because we have saved a lot of money we used to spend on renting nice apartment and now we spend it instead on different hotel experience through the weekend. A lot of saving and make a lot of sense.
Then, I began blogging about each stay, reviewing their facilities and collecting my to-stay list.

WALK bless you!

Being lived in NYC, walking is the familiar act to me. Thing is different when come to walking in Bangkok, Thailand. the sidewalk does not design for walking pleasantly. No wonder I have come across many people who used to hurt themselves trying to walk BKK footpath including me. Written in one of the famous Thai song," made in Thailand," singing that Bangkok is the city that people got fallen into the side street sanitary public pipe construction.
But I still love walking.... There is no limit when you walk, you can stop anywhere you like, whenever you like. There is no traffic restriction, there is you and your feet keep walking to everywhere you want to. I usually do my walk training two weeks before I go traveling. it is my commitment to practice myself, my feet and my shoulder to accompany the actual weight of my carry on bag, walking shoes, camera, things that I would be carrying or wearing during the trips. While I am walking, I document what I saw, met or found, I write about each walking trip and catalogue in the blog called "Walk Bless You!" I try to make it regular ritual and routined it to be on my Sunday afternoon. You are welcome to join the walking club if you like.
