一壺濁酒喜相逢，古今多少事，都付笑談中
After 30+ years of well-planned work and disciplined pattern of life, from 2018 I started to live a new life without specific plan. Learning a new language, oil-painting and piano, practicing calligraphy, reducing weight (with small success and big failures), trading stocks and currencies, participating in an interesting association, reading, playing with my cats…
Needless to mention, I travelled a lot in the past two years. One-third of my days in a year have been outside my home town. While I was reviewing the photos and the records of the trips, I came up with an idea that perhaps I could share my joys and experiences in my blog, especially from a view point of a person in this very small but special town, where East and West met 400+ years ago, and casinos and UNESCO inheritances mix at this time.
Hope you enjoy reading my articles and like my photos.
自小以來，都是過著很有計劃的生活。而在職場上擔當管理職務之後，制訂計劃，然後按時間表完成，更是三十多年來每天要做的事。在2018年初辭去工作後，開始了沒有規劃的生活，嘗試Hea在人生邊上的滋味，至今樂而不疲。
一直嚮往逍遙遊。但為了玩到盡，以往要精心計算年假和公眾假期，然後在行程中還要工作。這樣的旅遊固然可以為煩忙的生活減減壓，也可以襯機和家人一起玩樂，但算不上很逍遙。而在過往兩年，自己有不少獨遊的機會，也沒有時間的限制，可以只買單程機票和訂了第一晚住宿便出發，玩倦了自然歸家。去年外遊的時間便有4個月。
在家的日子，除了預備旅遊資料 (還是要計劃的！)，便找些從不懂的東西學習: 油畫、鋼琴、日語… 還有設立這個blog，管理ilalexlai.com的website，發一些無聊文章。
如果有緣在此相遇，你又對我的文字有點共鳴，何妨留下片言數語? 祝你生活逍遙，能做你喜愛的事。
