Long day. Every time I stop to take a breath, I realize how isolated I've let myself become, believe me you can get a bit desperate. They said "there's always something better coming around the corner." Should I believe then? I miss my life in Vancouver.

24th August, 2007, I went to DaZu in ChongQing City. Heard about this rock carvings town for really long time and finally I made the trip come true. One single monk spent 70 years to make all the rock carvings in BaoDing town. It's just amazing! You have to join me!

Help! I need a script actually. A story of two eggs. A boy and a girl. A short/simple story but touching. What I am going to do is I will implement this story by photo. Photos for two eggs infront of a black/white background screen. Setup will be very simple but lighting will be the key element. It will be amazing. Trust me! If you have any idea, please please email me at max@april28th.com I wanna make this as a open project. I will upload the script and each frame I took during the whole production. Your opinion will help me finish a good photo book along the way. SO HELP ME! By the way, thank you Bile for your lovely notes. You are awesome!

I am finally home, sitting on my couch updating april28th. I've been travelling all over HeNan province with 108 hotties in the past 15 days. Good or bad, all kinds of things happened. Some of them left me unforgettable memories. Anyway, it was the first time that I entitled as "director" in a stage show which was broadcasted live world wide. Aside from the nostalgia of the farewell and the finishing of the show, the way Henan people work still upset me. It's just way out of my league. Photo was taken on the last production day at ZhengZhou Holiday Inn, HeNan. Without a whiteboard, I had to use mirror instead. I watched "Transformers" yesterday. For whatever Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg made, one should just sit down, shut up and watch with mouth fully opened. Those two are aliens. Unbelievably good. Time for me to go back Harry Potter.
