The delivery of festive flowers... to the oriental room, i called it the 'mandarin parlour'



The mandarin parlour, together with a study and a bedroom, will be the living space for several girls, Nocturna (nf), Peony (goldie), Phuong (ll), or Chamomile (mmlb), Lili (lm), Magdalene (vcb) as well.... - an idea still in construction


The salon of the mandarin parlour is for the time being furnished with a pearwood ching dynasty imperial day bed, ming dynasty high back chairs and high vase sidetable and redwood long end table. Also on the wall wood carved new year picture from Yangjiabu, Weifang, Shandong (northwest china) and a persian carpet .

Nightfall on an eerie wintry day....
Somebody revealed to Scarlette Mauve , she recalled, that he had encountered a probably metaphysical experience whilst sleeping at an unknown castle in France during military service... As if reading memories of a geographical spot, une nuit blanche but only seeing nurses tending the sick...he discovered afterwards it was a sanatorium in world war time...

Scarlette Mauve read that a certain Frère Gxxxxxx tended this place... Apparaîtrait-t'il ??!

The soliloquy of a homeheading student talking on the phone broke the silence of the uncanny Nazareth... now that i know it was Nazareth, it is nazareth

Nocturna spent an afternoon of fishing lifestyle in Tai O, at the outlying Lautau Island

Among the zigzagging "pang uk", a kind of stilt houses, built right over the waterway

Deurbanisation has made the once flourishing trade in salt and fish nowadays a surviving cultural activity of old villagers as most of the young people leave for the city.

Owners of a large boat/stilt house enjoying their seafood feast kindly let us visit their home offering the quite scenic view of the pang uk.

Nocturna balancing with the 'sunbathing' fishes and shrimps

When the tide comes in, the whole town seems to float; when it goes out Tai O seems to be sinking into the mud banks.
