走進「香港平面設計之父」的圖語世界。
自六十年代初落戶香港,石漢瑞(Henry Steiner)整整二十年都住在西營盤一所酒店裡(文末為Steiner親自撰寫的英文原文《Home away from home》)。像他這樣一個沒有「nesting DNA」的無根者,卻在近半世紀,用上各種符號語言建構出這個看得到的「家」-滙豐銀行、香港置地和牛奶公司等商標,俯首抬頭,總會遇上他的作品,這些形狀、顏色和文字設計迥異的商標,沉默地訴說設計者的情感與品牌概念,也塑造出在香港邁向現代化城市進程中的獨有視覺景觀。
最廣為人所知的,也許是滙豐的六角形logo。本身亦是設計師的收藏家John Wu笑說,剛入行時,前輩解釋「兩個箭咀向入,兩個箭咀向出」,代表金錢有出有入;多年後John聽到石漢瑞親身解話,原來只屬民間猜測。翻查當年剪報,實際用途是為了突出以往一直沿用「聖安德烈十字」符號中的「x」型,暗示與蘇格蘭的淵源;另一方面,則是幾何美學的考量,原意以兩條對角線畫出兩個三角形,取紅、白兩色,但為了顯現白色三角形,於是把紅色三角形加在外邊。設計言簡意駭,取代了1983年前極富殖民地色彩的「盾形紋章」,是品牌邁向現代化的大躍進。
即使是異鄉人,石漢瑞對東方文化理解得透切又貼地-在1978年設計渣打銀行的鈔票時,摒棄政治和歷史人物,採用中國神獸做代表,而他的最愛,竟是印著錦鯉的「10蚊紙」,因為「鯉躍龍門,升價十倍」;而另一張150年周年的渣打鈔票,以日本人看富士山的浮世繪作靈感,呈現幾代香港人看維港,賞心悅目,又不失人文情味。

《Home away from Home》- Henry Steiner
Twenty years ago, I moved into a medium sized hotel West of Central. I have lived there since.
Until then, since arriving in Hong Kong in 1961 I had lived in apartments. For various reasons the move to the hotel made sense as a temporary pied a terre. But as I kept extending my stay, I realized how well the hotel suited me.
It’s located a short drive, by taxi or mini bus, from my office. It’s also close to the MTR station and around the corner from the tram stop. (Trams are one of my favorite things in Hong Kong.)
Mornings, I can leave my hotel room in an untidy state and by evening the elves have sorted it out, as if for the next guest.
Most weekend mornings I descend to the restaurant and its buffet breakfast. As appropriate, the lobby is a convenient meeting point.
I don’t seem to have the ‘nesting’ DNA which would make me want my own idiosyncratic space and which would reflect me and my tastes. (Of course, my office is the real home, library, workshop and communication centre.)
The hotel is a place to sleep and a rendezvous with friends as appropriate; a compact, efficient space, where I can come and go as I please.
One might make the argument that this comfortable, effortless way to reside could be the way more people will live the future. For what it’s worth, I can recommend it.
And after twenty years living in the charming, down to earth Sai Ying Pun neighborhood I’m happy to say: so far, so good.

Upper Room Secrets to Access Heavenly Realms
“He sent two of his disciples, and said to them, “Go into the city, and there you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him, and wherever he enters in, tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’ He will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Get ready for us there.”” (Mark 14:13-15 WEB)
See this photo? Back in 2014, Amilee and I visited the place called “The Cenacle” in the Old City district of Jerusalem, which is believed to be the upper room where Jesus and His disciples ate the Passover supper. It is located in the same compound as king David’s tomb.
The upper room is where Jesus spent time with the disciples privately on the night that He was betrayed, sharing heavenly secrets to them who were close to Him.
I like how Jesus described it as a “large upper room furnished and ready”. Abba God prepared everything ahead of time and the disciples only needed to step into the room to enjoy that finished work.
I am starting a new Patreon Bible Study mini series called “Upper Room Secrets” whereby we will explore the heavenly truths which Jesus shared in private with His disciples. These truths shared are powerful because living by them is to be walking conscious of your connection to the heavenly realms.
You will experience the benefits of reigning on Jesus’ throne when you apply these upper room secrets.
To join our patron community in this study, become a “God Every Morning” tier or above patron on Patreon. You will also receive rewards like daily devotionals to your email, daily Bible study teachings via the patron WhatsApp chat group, access to an archive of 600+ devotionals, and all my eBooks.

Forget the long long check-in queues at the more well-known hotels, I think I might have stumbled onto a hidden gem near Orchard Road.
Most people probably wouldn’t consider booking a staycation at York Hotel, which is located beside Mt Elizabeth Hospital and a 5-min walk away from Paragon. But when I was compiling a staycation blog post in early Nov, I came across the Cabana rooms of York Hotel and was intrigued. So I booked it for a one-night stay (yes, it’s #notsponsored and really for research purposes 😅). The Cabana room is not your usual hotel room because when I first stepped into the room, my jaw dropped. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY HUGE! Definitely bigger than my home’s living and dining rooms combined.
And the best part? It comes with one King bed and one Queen bed! I also love the feel of the room, because it makes me feel like I was holidaying in a private villa overseas, thanks to its Balinese-themed vibes.
We had our own private patio outside the room where we had our breakfast, as well as the pool was just right at our doorstep. Granted it is just your average pool, but having that pool in close proximity enhances that resort feels. 😆
The good thing is there are only 8 Cabana rooms in total so the area that we were at didn’t feel populated at all. But don’t expect a lot of amenities here at York Hotel because other than the pool, it only has a gym. But If you are looking to escape from the crowd and stay in a ‘different’ room, this Cabana might be the staycation you are looking for. 😀
P.S. The 8 Cabana rooms comprise of 4 rooms with 2 double beds (like the one we booked) while the other 4 rooms are split-level with just one king bed on the second floor. Great for smaller families.

LOST HCMC is located on the 3rd floor of Vivo City in Phu My Hung, District 7.
After this interesting experience, Nina, Seb, and Andrew and I went to Kichi Kichi, which is a popular chain found in many cities throughout Vietnam. Then we had smoothies or sinh to and went to Nina's family home for a surprise that wasn't very surprising. Then we visited Somewhere Land located at 61 Ho Xuan Huong, which is a fairy themed arts and crafts cafe with no affiliation to Harry Potter. Everyone knows I won that baking contest. Then an eel dinner with OldBoy where I swallowed a bone and went to the local private hospital (FV Hospital) which was not fully functioning so I had to go to a public hospital which was scary, but in the end they were able to help me immediately. Even for the emergency room, it was quite cheap.

Previously tenanted to a loving family working for the Embassy of the United States who loved the house dearly, this extremely rare luxurious bungalow in Ampang Hilir is available for rent at a fairly low price by her generous owner.
You can hardly find anymore bungalows at this price in this location. Ampang Hilir is located within minutes from KLCC as well as the City as a whole, but it's still within a very quiet and exclusive neighborhood. On top of that, it's surrounded by high class restaurants, international shopping centers and grocery stores where you can buy basically everything from your home country. If you drive, it's located within minutes from all major freeways / highways which links you to North South East or West, you decide.
The recently renovated bungalow was built with some of the finest materials which are very rare in the market today. The tiles and marbles used for the bungalow are in their best glittering condition. Powered by a carefully wired 3-phase electricity, the house is able to feature air conditioning with utmost efficiency in almost every corner of the house with a fairly low electricity bill.
In addition to that, kitchen is fully equipped and includes a high quality branded refrigerator as well. Deeper into the kitchen is the maid's room and bathroom as well as a utility area for food storage and other purposes. There is a washing machine in that area too. The bathrooms are at their best conditions and its largest bathroom attached to the Master bedroom will blow you away with its wonderful Jacuzzi bathtub!
The decent size bedrooms and an extraordinary huge Master bedroom are some of the most fantastic feature of this bungalow. Just looking outside the window, you'll see your huge garden for kids to run around and plenty of space for house parties and barbecue dinners.
