Two more hours before the long weekend starts! This coming weekend will be very eventful - my biannual visit to the hair salon, inspecting the new house (the flooring and tiles are done!), buying accessories for the new house, pop concert, prison ministry, yum cha with my family and welcoming BBM from London!
Next week is Golden Week in China, that means my clients are on holiday and I will have less work!
There are days when you feel like shit, but today is not one of those days :)
The protest is over, but the killing surely will not stop overnight.
This world would be a much better place to live in if we are more animal-friendly.
Had lunch with B and H in Central today (yes it's a long journey for me, covering 16 MTR stations). Over seafood linguine and Tiramisu, the topic of earthquake popped up, and I felt left out when I told them I didn't feel anything when it happened last Thursday in Hong Kong.
How could I miss it? It only happens like, once in a century! And the quake measured 3.5 on the Richter scale! According to some press description, "an earthquake has rattled Hong Kong, causing skyscrapers to shake and sending people running into the streets in rural areas". Some people said it felt like a plane crashing into their building. How could I not have felt anything?
At the time when the quake happened, I was AT HOME! COOKING! Just doing what all other people were doing when they felt the shake! My friend B said it must be because I had the kitchen hood switched on - the noise of the hood plus the fact that I was engaged in a battle (i.e. cooking) had made me oblivious to the shakes and moves outside my apartment.
Whatever the reason maybe, part of me feels bad for missing out on this "collective experience" (I have never experienced any earthquakes in my life (Thank God) but it would be quite exciting to feel it once, not the major fatal ones, but minor ones like what we just had), but at the same time I couldn't help but think that maybe ignorance really is a blessing sometimes. Something bad happens but I am ignorant of it, so life goes on, every one's fine and dandy at the end and we all live happily ever after.
Life cannot get any better than this.
A Saturday afternoon. We just had lunch at home. You were sitting at one corner of the livine room, I the other corner. We were both reading the newspaper. You always let me read the City section first as you know I never read the Sports news.
We were just there, occupying our own little space, reading our own inked papers. We didn't exchange a word, not even a glance. And then I had a look at you, and a sudden sense of peace overwhelmed me. I thought to myself, "This feels good. I probably can do this for the rest of my Saturday afternoons."
At that moment, I knew I had found The One.
我跟男友分手，你看見我在哭，你比我更傷心。你對我說了一些話，讓我感動至今。
有時我心情不佳，對你説話語氣不好，但你永遠不會怪責我，事後又如常的對我好，令我内疚非常。
你一有空就會駕車過來陪我吃午飯，儘管吃完之後又要馬上駕車回家跟你的老友喝下午茶。
你知道我們不常煮飯，沒有湯水，便會多煮我們的一份，然後山長水遠駕車把飯餸帶過來。有時你還會照顧我的娛樂需要，把八卦雜誌也一并帶給我。
每逢打風下雨，氣溫稍降，你總是第一個打電話給我，告訴我要多穿衣服，帶雨傘出門。
從小到大，我的一切需索，你都統統給我滿足，我從來不曾缺乏。
你給我無限的自由，讓我做我喜歡的事，跟我喜歡的人交往。要給兒女這麽大的自由，其實是挺冒險的，但你們對我信任，知道我不會亂來，也知道即使我在外頭吃了苦，受了傷，我永遠可以回到家裏這個避風港。
謝謝你讓我知道什麽是無條件的愛。
We have waved our goodbyes to the Asian casino land. The hen trip was full of fun and warmth, and once again I am so glad God has blessed me with so many wonderful sisters.
Squid and fish balls
Pork chop bun 
Egg tart with bird's nest
African chicken
A little surprise birthday cake -- well, it was meant to be a surprise, you know the way it works: the waiter brings out the cake and people sing the birthday song, but in our case the waitress came to our table and asked very loudly IN FRONT OF THE BIRTHDAY GIRL "Do you want us to bring the birthday cake out now?". Naturally, no tips for Miss Stupid.
is what we are NOT having for our hen weekend (well, maybe a bit of booze, but strippers? No thank you, it is so cliche). Counting down: 20 hours.
There are two brides-to-be (me and my friend K - we decided to do a joint hen weekend as it involves similar participants) so it will be doubly fun!
I don't know what we are doing except that we are going to Macau. I do believe it will involve a lot of yummy Portuguese food (and Port!).
On the other hand, the guys are having their stag night on Saturday. As expected, the two grooms (BB and R, K's fiance) insisted that they have separate stag nights (excuse to have two crazy night outs instead of one). Boys will be boys...
Will post some photos when I am back!
昨天終於拿到遲了足足2星期才起貨的請帖了。出奇地，沒有什麽錯漏（在過去6星期裏，我每天也在擔心，如果印刷出錯的話，便來不及再印，到時便“大檸樂”了）。可能神看見我這麽擔心，生怕如果真的有什麽出錯，祂這個女兒一定會爆血管，所以便大大保佑這事 ^O^
媽咪跟弟婦也很好，昨天特地到灣仔陪我去拿總共4大袋，厚典典的大小請帖啊，信封啊，利是封啊，諸如此類。
這代表漫長的入帖/寄帖/等回復/排座位表/確認回復/修改座位表/等等等等的重要工程正式開始。當然還有美容/減肥/試身/造鞋/教堂程序表/揀歌/試菜/場地佈置/等等等等的事宜要陸續處理。
嘩好忙啊！連食薯片和雪糕都沒時間！
