The Light of Day is Fading...
VNV Nation - If I Was
The light of day is fading
To bid the darkness in
When empty smiles can never hide the hollowness within
My thoughts race by like the scene outside
Through the windows of the train
I could cover my eyes but never hide
From the promises I made
If I was a better man
Or a poor man or a king
Would I have the strength to start again
Walk the path that called to me
Somewhere out there waiting
Is a place where I'll know peace
Calling out and beckoning
Be I a poor man or a king
The station long departed
My fate entrusted to the rails
No certain destination
Except the life I'll hope to make
But were the choice presented
Couldn't relinquish or bequeath
The walls I built around the truth
I closely guard within
If I was a better man
Or a poor man or a king
Would I have the strength to start again
Walk the path that called to me
Somewhere out there waiting
Is a place where I'll know peace
Calling out and beckoning
Be I a poor man or a king
Give me your hand
Take your place here next to me
Let us walk this road together
No matter where it leads
Put aside your burdens
Put away your fears
Or I'll carry them as I'd carry you
Until the very end
Somewhere out there waiting
Is a place where we'd know peace
That calls to us
That beckons us
The place where we'd be free
Put aside your burdens
Put away your fears
I'd carry them as I'd carry you
'Till the very end
Put aside your burdens
Put away your fears
I'd carry them as I'd carry you
Until the very end
Somewhere out there waiting
Is a place where we'd know peace
Calling out and beckoning
A place where we'd be free

She Don't Fade...
The Psychedelic Furs The Ghost In You.
A man in my shoes runs a light
And all the papers lied tonight
But falling over you
Is the news of the day
Angels fall like rain
And love is all of heaven away
Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade
The ghost in you
She don't fade
Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade
A race is on I'm on your side
And hearing you my engines die
I'm in a mood for you
For running away
Stars come down in you
And love, you can't give it away
Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade
The ghost in you
She don't fade
Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade
Don't you go
It makes no sense
When all your talking supermen
Just take away the time
And get in the way
Ain't it just like rain
And love, is only heaven away
Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade
The ghost in you
She don't fade
Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade

Love Is In The Air...
So I went out the Bars on the weekend...
Valentine's Weekend...
Some Guy is Chatting up the Ladies out loud and is Passionately telling them his Vision of Love...
I had to just walk away from there because if I would had stayed listening to what he had to say I would had said to him in front of the Ladies...
"So it that why you go out to Bars and Hitting on Everything that Moves Tonight???!!!"
True Story!!!

My Father Says...
My Father Says...
Without Family You Are Nothing...
He's the only person left that can teach me about who I am...
I took this Photo on the 3 year anniversary of my mother's death and I just looked at it the other day to process it...
I noticed the wedding band...
More than after 3 years since My Mother died, he still wears his Wedding Band...
More than 45 years together...
Till Death Do Us Part...
My Dad is still there for My Mother...
I know this because he goes to My Mother's Site every week and I see it on his Face every time I see him...

Bring It On 2013...
Last day of the Year...
In a Couple of Hours it'll be 2013...
Reflecting back on 2012...
To the People I know... To the People I don't Know and Never Met...
This fits best to what I'd like to say...
Keep on smiling, keep that sense of humour, take out that negativeness and negative things that are in your life to the trash, if you need to cry then cry but always look forward and not back, keep those beautiful memories close to you, bury your nightmares, positive vibes...
Take care of yourself and the ones you love...

The Gift...
Holiday Season...
Christmas comes around once a year and the magic is gone where as when I was a kid gifts and presents came out of nowhere... That was magic...
Now it's about getting that perfect present...
I like giving out gifts and presents but not really thrilled about getting them...
Giving the perfect gift to someone shows how much you really know the person...
Now it's all about money and retailers selling, where people buy and buy some more...
Seeing the look on the person's face that you bought a gift for and knowing you got it right is priceless...
Though I've noticed some people take this thing too seriously and their expectations aren't met and some people they want more and aren't satisfied with what they received...
Where's the spirit?
Felt like being alone today and I'm enjoying it...
The shopping mayhem, parties smiles, laughter, deception, greed, celebration and family gatherings...
I'm safe from it for now inside my house...
Given a gift today...
I'm asked aren't you going to open it?
I said no... (I almost never open gifts and I often put it aside and leave it still wrapped... There's nothing I need that I can't buy myself... I don't understand why people's feelings get hurt because when asked what I want I usually say get me nothing and when forced to choose I say ok then give me money... That usually makes people stop asking...)
Anyways...
I said no...
I don't need to open it...
In my head I was saying to myself the gift I really want is impossible to have yet I still have my memories of her...
I got a hug and that was a better gift than what I was given and a consolation for what I really wanted...
Happy Holidays to All of You with your Loved Ones...
Merry Christmas Mom...

Give a Man a Fish...
Give a Man a Fish and You Feed Him for a Day...
Teach a Man to Fish and You Feed Him for a Lifetime...
Confucius
===
Something I picked up from the last Artemano Warehouse Sale...
I believe it's made out of Suar Wood...
I picked this one in particular because some may think of this Fish with an imperfection where one side of the face dark brown...
Well...
Actually I don't see it as an imperfection...
I see it as character... :)
I went primarily to look for a Dining Room Table but didn't find one though I picked up some cool stuff and this was one of them... I will post up the rest of the things I picked up where I think they were very cool finds... :)

Time is Passing by Fast...
Time is Passing by Fast...
Too Fast...
As My Father Says... " Without Family You are Nothing... "
He's Right...
My Kids are going their Own Direction...
Young Adults...
Hopefully they don't forget where their roots are from...
I now understand why my parents kept asking me questions asked me the same questions over and over again or brought up things that made me uncomfortable and the many other things as well...
They did what the had to do...
You bring up your children the best you can and once they have their own minds to make their own decisions you let them go but at a distance yet never too far away... :)
Should I Worry?
As an Adult I say No...
As a Parent I say Hell Yeah!!!
:)
The Blood that runs through our Veins is what We have Together...
We Have A Family...
We are Family...
For me there's One Person Missing and I think about Her Everyday...
Just thinking about it...
Out there... She Must Be Thinking About Us...
Love You Ma...
Here's to the Future...

If the days don't allow us to see each other... Memories will...
If the days don't allow us to see each other...
Memories will...
It's now 2 years since my mother passed away from Cancer...
Took a week off work to come back to Toronto from Montreal and spend some time in the house that we grew up in...
Went out for walks and up and around the neighbourhood...
Things have changed and the people that I grew up with are gone but the memories will always be there...
Photo is taken from my parents tombstone and for those that are wondering what it is...
It's Wong... Our family name...
Here's my story...
My mother tongue is Chinese (Cantonese) though I've lost it a long time ago it was a disablity for me when I was around other Chinese people that spoke it to me though I understood but cannot speak...
When asked my family name, even though I knew how to respond my mother would just jump right in there and say it for me... Sing Wong in Cantonese... She would later go on and say he doesn't know how to talk in Chinese... And the Chinese person would say in disbelief... He doesn't talk Chinese???
My mother would say to the person like a Chinese mother would... "He's No Good!!!"
I would always roll my eyes back and say to myself... "Oh Brother!!!" Here we go again...
This happened most of my life when I was with my mom...
Just sitting here for the last couple of days...
My mother always looked out for us...
She always will...
Love You...
If the days don't allow us to see each other...
Memories will...

Moving Past the Feeling Again...
Moving Past the Feeling Again...
Photo taken out in Rawdon Quebec at around 12:30am on a Weekend...
You can see the night sky clearly and the roads are not paved where there's a street light if you are lucky... The only lights you will likely see our from the houses...
Pure darkness all around you...
Silence...
I'm sometimes asked what I'm doing when I'm with people and it could be anywhere and I often tell people I'm taking a photo...
This instance was the same thing out in the country in the dark in the middle of the road staring out at the moon...
My Mom's presence was felt...
Beautiful...
For me it takes a couple of seconds to get inspired and out comes the camera...
Within those couple of seconds everything that's important to me and everything I experienced in my life flashes and with this moment it's mine to add inside of me...
But it's captured in a photo as well...
It's not Art but I consider it a memory... I don't do this for money, it's not a hobby and I can say I do it for fun but I would more say it's for capturing the small things that matter to me through life...

Arrestations des manifestants - Nuit du 20 mai 2012
Montréal, le 20 mai, la 27eme manifestation nocturne de 20h30 est déclarée illégale dès le départ. Le SPVM applique la loi 78. Les événements de la vidéo se sont déroulés entre 23H30 et 00H15. Notre équipe a échappé de peu aux bombes assourdissantes lancées par le SPVM, avant de se faire prendre en souricière avec une cinquantaine de manifestants au coin de la rue St-Denis et Sherbrooke. Nos deux bénévoles ont été retenus 2 heures. Des personnes ont été dans l'obligation d'uriner au sol : interdiction d'aller aux toilettes. Le SPVM relâche Universitv grâce au travail de nos équipes venues en soutien. Les autres manifestants ont été accusés d’attroupement illégal et ont reçu une amende de 645$.
Cette soirée a été marquée par les nombreuses arrestations et l'agressivité du SPVM envers les manifestants et les médias. Outre notre équipe, qui a été très chanceuse cette nuit, CUTV, La presse et le journal de Montréal ont également subit des violences ou des arrestations policières.

Concernant la hausse des frais de scolarité, Gaétan Maudit réagit à l'argumentation de la droite.
C'est pas drôle, c'est vulgaire mais c'est mon opinion et tout le monde a droit à mon opinion.

J'ai mal à mon Québec...
It's been awhile now hearing a seeing these things on a daily basis here in Montreal whether it be on the Internet with Live Streaming, Videos posted on YouTube or witnessing it live on the Spot as it's happening right in Front of My Eyes...
It's the police helicopters flying in the sky, police cars, wagons and trucks with sirens racing though the streets, the explosions of plastic bullets and gas cans being fired off, police hitting their shields with their batons, police yelling " BOUGE!!! "...
Police yelling at the public and the public yelling at the police...
It's been happening for awhile now and in my personal opinion what you see and hear from the media and what you hear and see in front of you are completely different...
This is what I've seen and heard on the streets... It's the truth and it's what we need... People being stopped and taken away for simply being there on the spot, people being pepper sprayed for simply questioning why... People being shoved, pushed, hit and taken down to the ground...
There was a lot more going on but in the end does it matter...
Abuse of Power???
Democracy???
You have your own eyes and ears to decide that yourself...
My Question Is... When is Enough... Enough???
The Media is the Media... The Streets are where the Stories are...
Students were saying we'll be back again and you'll see us again...
I have no intention of invoking fear or chaos but just to bring out the truth of what is happening out there...
Clearly it's not just about the Tuition Hikes but also Loi 78...
My Video and Photos from Last Night on May 20/21 2012...
Sorry about the quality but it was very intense out on the street and to tell you the truth my hands were shaking...
I was also stopped short of taking any more photos...
Why did I do it and go outside and take photos then?

Anyone that knows me knows that I capture moments and time with Photos and Thoughts...
I capture moments and life as it happens, it's the truth and this is history in Quebec...
I call it Photo Journalism / Blogging...
The Police Last Night Didn't see it that Way...
Did I break any laws?
Last Night I had No Rights...
No Rights to Witness and take Photos and Videos...
