My old-time favourite beer since young even before Hoegaarden. And this used to be my dad's favourite too. Well, naturally since this was dad's preferred choice, I can only follow his taste & drink whatever he ordrered.  

I like this beer for the light taste which is not bitter. This is the new look, maybe with improved formula but I can hardly tell because I have not drunk this for so long. I saw an advertisement promoting this beer & decided to buy a 6-pack for reminiscent sake.

Bottoms up!

131 of Project 365: 古董相机

话说有一天，大姐我心血来潮，就动起手来打扫我的房间。打扫的过程中，就在架子上找到了这台，已被我遗忘的相机(Fujica STX-1)。也不记得相机是如何落到我手上，但我知道是爸爸给我的。后来拿着相机向妈妈了解一下，原来这是老爸捡来的“战利品”之一。而且搞不好它的年份还比大姐我老叻！

不知道这台单眼胶卷相机还能不能用。我想搞不好，还得花一笔钱维修后才可以操作。

待我以后找到会维修相机的师傅再说吧。

8 of Project 365: Meter, meter on the wall

This should be a familiar sight in every household. I still remember those days when my dad faithfully filled in the meter reading and mailed it back to PUB. Nowadays, how many still send in their own meter reading?

Abacus

My dad taught me how to use the abacus when I was young. The abacus my dad used was almost as big as a standard keyboard. I particularly like the clacking sound produced by the seeds knocking against one another. Subsequently, I joined my primary school Abacus Club but that was when I lost interest in abacus too. It had become a competitive and stressful experience when the students tried to compete with one another to see who was the fastest to come back with the correct answer.
Look carefully at the way the fingers are bent when pushing the seeds. That was how I was taught to position my fingers too, which I believe should be the correct way.
