I can’t get over them!

I keep crying every time I watch their videos. I feel the pride and joy in the videos of people cheering for them.

I can’t get over their strength, tenacity, and exceptional mental fortitude. I can only imagine the years and years of painstaking practice they have had to go through.

Hidilyn Diaz 🇵🇭 and Edgar Cheung Ka Long 🇭🇰, what shining examples of grit and resilience you give! 💪🏼

Hidilyn, you personify grace and courage. You have achieved more than just the historic win; By your example, you are giving Filipinas the confidence to envision themselves as truly strong women— and the permission to celebrate that strength.

Ka Long, I truly admire how humble you are. You’ve shared how you felt like a “nobody” amidst the other olympians… but by not being afraid to be vulnerable, you’ve shown how strong you can truly be.

Okay, I’ll stop here, because I just might cry again 🙈

So many more inspiring moments in the #Tokyo2020 Olympics. So much to learn from so many amazing athletes. Such a good feeling to end this day with ✨

Making a traditional and authentic thosai is a laborious process. The power mother-and-son duo at Rajarani Thosai sticks to the painstaking process of grinding soaked black lentils by hand, and making their own sambars, dhal, and chutneys to accompany the fresh thosai made from scratch daily.⁣
⁣
The Masala Butter Thosai had crisp paper-like edges and velvety soft centre loaded with spiced and buttery potatoes. The salty globs of melted butter (not Planta or margarine, mind you) melded perfectly together with the aromatic masala spices, making every mouthful particularly delicious. Served on an Indian Thali plate with 3 sauces — coconut chutney, dhal and chilli and onion chutney.⁣
⁣
Another crowd-favorite was the fresh made on-site appams. Using a similar fermented rice batter as thosai but with coconut milk, these UFO-looking pancakes had shatteringly crisp edges with thick and cushiony centres. The Plain Appam paired well with a simple sprinkling of orange palm sugar, which lent a mild sweetness to the savory batter.⁣

《技安唱歌》

有啲同學硬係係有種僥倖心態，覺得：

「我grammar寫錯，其實人地都明啦」

「我讀音讀錯，其實人地都明啦」

咁為咩要咁辛苦學到咁好？

如果你都係咁諗，你可以諗下：

1. 你覺得人地明，人地係咪真係明？

2. 如果你*認為*係，你又點知人地係咪真係明？抑或係礙於禮貌「哦哦哦」扮明？如果人地真係明，係at what cost？At WHAT cost?

3. 假設人地最後真係明，會唔會係因為人地花咗好多時間、好painstaking咁睇你篇文，到最後勉強係明你講咩嘅。但過程係要花多好多時間，花時間到一個地步，之後唔會再願意睇你寫嘅野，又或者心裡面對妳默默起左負面評價，甚至討厭咗你？

【正確】（correctness）當然並非溝通唯一嘅考量因素。

就如同喺音樂裡面，音準同拍子並唔係一切。

但如果你唔識得寫正確嘅英文，就好似唱歌嘅時候拍子錯、音準錯。

係呀，呢個世界冇話大師級音樂家就一定每一個音都彈啱，仲有樣野，叫Rubato添，你鍾意快嘅時候可以隨感情加快，慢嘅時候可以隨感情放慢。

但係絕大多數音樂家就算錯，都有個譜，唔可以錯到離咗譜。precision係緊要架。

英文錯到離咗譜，就變咗靜香拉小提琴同技安唱歌一樣，如果你要人地睇你寫野、聽你講嘢，人地一定會避之則吉。

因為就算你嘅感情有幾豐富、演繹有幾精彩，如果你走曬音、拍子錯曬，人地已經冇wavelength聽到你嘅訊息，只係覺得你製造噪音，你make嘅music已經不值一聽了。

The mistakes you’re making are distracting peoplefrom whatever art that you’re making.

Day 4 in the amazing Varanasi, the holiest city in India setting out on a boat tour and getting drowned in paint!

The more time I spent in this city, the more I have come to love it. The energy, the people, the scenery and ambiance. It's really quite spectacular. It has definitely become a winner among all the places we visited in India.

Early start to the day, walking down to the ghats of Varanasi to meet the fixer who organised a sunrise boat tour across the Ganges River for us. Bella had some stand-uppers she had to get through, so we worked on them while waiting for the boat to come.

It was pretty chilly on the ghats without the sun to keep us warm, but the view of the rising sun was MAGICAL! It was so worth it to wake up early for that experience. I've never seen such a clear sunrise like that before. And with the birds flying around overhead, it made it even more special.

We got dropped off on the other side of the Ganges to a spectacle of people bathing in the water. I'd not seen anything like this on the other side of the river. Whole families and elderly folk swimming together and washing off. Highly entertaining.

Once that was over we went back to the hotel and freshened up. Had some breakfast and then straight out the door and through the streets of Varanasi, to visit a festival that was going on a few minutes away.

The holi festival isn't actually for a couple of days still but there was a famous guru down from Kolkata and his followers wanted to celebrate Holi with him, so they did a pre-holi 'Holi' celebration. It was my first time seeing this celebration and my first time having paint wiped across my face.

Was not expecting to get dirty at all, but our fixer, Rajeev, was having none of it and coloured my face a lovely shocking pink colour. hehe.

Getting back to the hotel and washing off the paint was such a relief. It took as about an hour each to fully clear all the paint off us which was painstaking. also took us a number of trials and errors before we found the magic solution to removing it. BABY OIL!

We had more things to film that evening, so we left the hotel in the late afternoon and went in search of Varanasi's famous BLUE LASSI shop. Hidayat had been going on about the lassi at this place for so long that it was compulsory for us to stop by for a visit.

After trying it, I understood what all the hype was about. Definitely worth a try if you are in Varanasi.

Day came to an end walking back to the hotel. We actually visited the evening Aarti along the ghats, but I didn't have enough time in my vlog to include it. So I'll save that for another day.
