sushi sushi
The Diva is a sushi lover. One night she dreamt of going to a kaiten zushi...
The sushi chef (itamae) made her from the chopping board all kind of her favourite sushi... even the sashimi moated boat with all kinds of finfish, shellfish and roe.
The conveying belt circled round and round and continued to lure her on...
It's a colourful sushi heaven, smelt of wasabi and soy... a mouthful if nigiri, made with a bite of impeaccably fresh raw fish on top of vinegared rice, is the purest pleasure of the senses.
all to her own desire....She only had to get more dishes from the conveyor circle , without having to fight with her sisters

the comedy of manners
Christmas is in the air.... The gang of girls, the chosen choir, are eager to try on their party clothes and rehearsing the carols by playing them from the stereo, whilst the others are busy with their own life whether in their rooms, or outside or abroad.
... when mom announces that a piece of drama, music of that night ... will require nomination from them to play the roles... Mom hasn't quite decided who's who... Everybody become nervous and quite anxious to get a major role...
Cherie, sister of Beatrice d'Este Sforza, Italian blythe, whose ancestors are the courtly inventors of the game of tarot, thinks that she deserves the role of Magdalene, the virgin mother embrassing the cradle of baby Jesus, or the soprano ot the christmas carols
The newly arrived member of family, Diva, whose vocation is a rock star, naturally shares the thought of Cherie. She must be confined the singing role... She is dressed in Russian, Kremlin nobility style
Anais, the 'nose' who comes from the Provence in France , is Mom's favourite girl because of her being francaise...
Cherie and Diva chat in a corner and almost come into terms of sharing the two major roles...
Anais is not a jealous girl who has her self righteousness
The two girls talk about strategies to win mom's favour...
while Cheshire, overhearing their conspiracy, steps in... who always got authority as she is a kenner...
She summons Anais to a reunion round the fireplace. "Given my majesty as a kenner, and my musical talents, I can tell you that am nominated the choir leader and the Magdalen role, I'll play both."

sailing to Byzantium?
The lights of the Star Ferry clock tower and pier in Central went out at midnight on 11/11 as the iconic green ferries left the berth for the last time after 48 years - sparking protests for some and memories for others.
Petitioning messages for the pier's closure. - Clock tower blurring to a halt
Popping down for a softie ice cream amidst a tantalising meeting or at times when having something to swallow for a nobler and strategic cause was my chimera when working at Jardine House
Nocturna assuming sailor, in Dollsville's sailor design recalliing to any Hongkonger in mind Star Ferry's sailors' uniforms for 48 years
Petitioning blue ribbons
Nocturna reclining on the steps at the opoosite disused Queen's Pier
Overlooking from City Hall's elevated corridor
Closed gates
Diva, in another Dollsville's pokka-dotted sailor design. at the new Central Pier, at the Waterfront off 2ifc
The new Central Pier is a handsome complex.
On the first day's operation on 12/11, sailing on board of a star ferry, named Celestial Star, from the new pier
Are you sailing to a bygone era or to a new era?

diva divina
Diva, my darling diva, was born on 3 November, right after my dad's funeral. She is "des nuits blanches", her white allure is to me all the unknown
She is quite unreal, dramatic and sensational, and even surreal...
"Noyée sous les flots
de la musique électrique,
dans le rock n roll, tu recherches un rôle..." (Jane Birkin/S. Gainsbourg)
