Moribana style

Calla Lily in yellow really has a stunning appearance! Amazingly, calla lilies are not true lilies. It’s no surprise that the name calla lily comes from a Greek word for beauty.  It has been associated with holiness, faith and purity. Yellow ones can carry a multitude of meanings, but are typically associated with gratitude. Additionally, as the cone-line flowers blossom in spring, they have become symbols of youth and rebirth.

Extraction (Movie, 2015)

Not even Willis could save this one. Lutz is so nothing, you will forget him as you watch. It's a series of worn out cliches strung together by bad acting and an equally worn out plot.

Dracula Untold (2014, Movie)

This one was very clever in its telling of why Prince (not Count) Dracula chose this curse.  It is more of a prequel of the Brams Stoker novel. It portrays Dracula as a noble hero who sought dark powers to protect his people. Awesome effects!

Moribana style

We used helleborus, a rare to find flower, as the main character.

Wedding bouquet and Corsage

We have roses, tulips and alstroemerias.







The corsage is mainly made of orchids.

讀帖，快樂！

中國書法，雖然是寫出來的，但內功卻在“讀”。因此，讀帖養心。

那斑駁不清、風格迥異的各種字跡，便讓我們彷彿徜徉於歷史長廊—經歷了篆隸紛呈的先秦，再經歷牘簡雙星的兩漢，經歷了二王雄起的魏晉，接下來是人詩雙旺的盛唐、詞藻瑰麗的兩宋，以至色彩斑斕、傾覆多變的元明清，林林總總，歷代更迭，都在帖子中能找到某種踪跡…

中國洋洋幾千年的書法大觀，就像秋天大地裡五穀豐登的莊稼，楷書如挺直的高粱，草書如風中撩動的稻穀，篆隸如埋在泥土中盤根錯節的馬鈴薯根系，而行書如翻滾麥浪。

背會一個字，就收穫了一捆稻穀；記在心裡一個字，又如同挖出一個馬鈴薯，都會成為你的書法糧倉裡的糧食。反之，如果背不進腦子裡，那些五穀永遠擱置在大地上，而你的書法糧倉仍然空空如也。因此，從某種意義上講，書法的功夫，是考驗記憶力，是背功、苦差事，是積小苦得大甜。

讀著，讀著，你在這些字中，隱見幾個青衫長發的身影在黃燈宣紙前飄然而至，穿過千年時空隧道，和你漫步、交談。書法有魅力，讀帖更是魅力無窮。

We pursue creativity that inspires

At times, a passion for the arts feeds our spirit of ingenuity and enriches everything we do. It drives collaboration and stimulates novel thinking. And it makes us stronger creative problem solvers and design thinkers, as we pursue a better world for all. From connecting communities through events and festivals, to our extraordinary selection of fine and performing arts, we celebrate and surround ourselves with the transformative power of artistic expression.
