Nostalgia

Went to a "dim sum" restaurant in Gilroy a week ago as I craved for food from home. Then I was reminded of how much I missed the days when we were thrilled at and anticipating for the approaching of those "dim sum" carts toward our tables at the restaurants when we were kids. It is now replaced with the diners checking from a list at the table which is a lot less fun. It is sad more and more of the unique "Hong Kong culture" is lost or abandoned, whether intentionally or not.

On the same note, a legend of the Hong Kong show business has passed on. Lydia Shum is quite a symbolic figure of the pride and spirit of Hong Kong. Watching lots of TV as a kid, I grew up watching her and admired her uplifting spirit and energy. A true entertainer and inspiring person that is larger than life indeed.
