very very sleepy

Colour treatment for my hair. Most women try hard to look younger.

Taitai is absolutely pleased with Minnie Mou. Blessed are those who are loving, simple and kind.

mahjong the whole day for Saturday

I have a group of mad friends who will play 3-4 times a week for 10 hours or more each day.

Count me out. Too tired. Not even scheduled in my retirement life.

Agnes said wolves & foxes remain wolves & foxes even if they become aged or ill. A wise warning.

Pingpong in the morning. Lunch at Taikooshing. Someone chooses to box herself in the past and get drowned by gossips. We must have filters in our ears and deletion buttons in our memory.

Minnie Mou seems to be left-handed. More intelligent?

a memorable dinner

Metropole Restaurant. Met retirees and colleagues transferred to other places. They all admire Grandma - Porpor. That is a blessed role.

Had a chat with Marga on phone. Very sad. Can do very little to help.

slipping through my fingers

Time passes minute by minute & day by day, in any event.

Ups & downs, good & bad, joy or sorrow.

It has been one whole year since we heard the announcement. Dinner to bid farewell this evening.

I love what I have, no choice. If I could have been given a choice ........ Or I could choose to hate what I have? That would be the greatest torment on anyone!

a white fine bone china straight mug

It has brought along much comfort. Microwave safe. Plain snow white. With love from Sydney.

We had lunch with Minnie Mou. She was wearing a Calvin Klein white trench coat with a belt tied.

2 beautiful white objects cheer me up.

Dinner at Chrystal Jade.

Black Monday

I could not sleep well. My heart aches. How could they live on and ever smile again?

So cruel!!!!!

Angelina

Koala is much impressed by the first encounter. Angelina shared work & life experience with her. Touched by her sincerity.

The Manila gunman - an ex-policeman. How terrible!

Lunch with C & Q. Fun in our conversations.

Why should I expect anything from those people? Too naive. Just inviting frustrations and anger. Keep calm & have some sweet dreams. That is why I am where I am.

Sunday brunch - Sangria

meaning "bloodletting" - a light, dry, young, acidic, unoaked, inexpensive fruit-forward red wine rooted in Spain, with chopped or sliced fruit, sugar/honey, a small amount of brandy & ice/carbonated soda. Cooling & relaxing. The white wine with lychees is a choice.

Aftershock

I cried my eyes out.

"What's your name?

"Mickey Mou" most of the time. Recently "Qiqi".

We celebrate W' birthday by a mango cream cake from Cova.

Anyone would like to tell me about "Inception"? So difficult to understand.

dr chong

Thank you for your treatment.

I was so hungry this evening that I ate quite a lot for dinner. All work and no play makes me a dull person.

A sound sound sleep that I pray for.

Bury all my worries and have some sweet dreams.

she is fine

Both Grandma & Grand-daughter suffer injuries - get well soon!

Sunday, August 15, 2010

pain on her is pain on me

I only learnt that she fell yesterday and had a cut on her forehead. OMG! A few stitches. Cant stand it.

How vulnerable we all are!

:( Luckily she remained very playful when I met her during lunch. She is a fast learner & cheerful by nature.

Spent time in TST with Min for the whole afternoon.

Dinner at KT. Gungung and Porpor were so pleased to see us.

amazing voices from heaven

Hayley Westenra & Jackie Evancho. Their voices are so stunningly sweet which could sweep away the worldly troubles for the moment. Enjoy!

Cry Me A River

Now you say you're lonely
You cry the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

You drove me, nearly drove me, out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember, all that you said
You told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and

Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do
Come on and cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I cried a river...over you..."

UNRESERVED LOVE

I've always been told love won't survive,
Promises will turn into lies,
The world just thinks love comes and passes through,
It never lasts pure and true.

But I still believe love can last,
It's your unfailing love that gives me rest,
You were there when I needed you most,
I'll never walk all alone.

On the cross you died and took away my curse/sin,
Love so wondrous no one ever could deserve,
Your bleeding hands proved your love unreserved,
You're my greatest joy and treasure on the earth.

Make my life a fragrant offering I pray,
Help me Lord to serve you truly every day,
Through tears and joy I'll give you all my praise,
Let the whole world know your love and grace.

Cath Kidston - wild rose hand cream

One of the nice things in life. With love from London.

Who has the patient ears to listen to the forever grumbling & yelling with all the frustration and grievances that can never be removed from this cruel world?

tired

Never ending tests. They only end with life.

The guy who resembles Chow Sing-chi most on Youtube - Little Koala often provides me the best entertainment.

Gansu landslide disaster

News that shock and hit:

Gansu sandstorm - is it more due to dam building and deforestation than mere curse of nature? Zhouqu - is it known to be Shangri-la?


The missing New Zealander pilot found dead - what a pity? An avoidable accident?

CX crew aggrieved by the rude and unreasonable behaviour of passengers and the Management's VIP treatment to them as a way to soothe their anger and roars. Who cares for the safety & dignity of the crew?

So many mental patients assault or even kill their family members in a brutal way. Stress is threatening our City. Save myself before I can save others - like the guide on the plane. Quite determined to give myself a nice time, a nice note to start the day, pretty & cheerful, non-grumbling. Try!

Inception = facebook & twitter

A columnist opined that the movie is telling about a cyber world. We share our dreams with strangers and enter into others' world. We influence and we are influenced, by vision, thoughts & words.

We can no longer distinguish which is true and which is imaginary. We refuse to retreat.

Playgroup again. Babies, I observe, are just like grown-ups. They hit others, kiss others, rob others' toys, disobey instructions and fall due to carelessness and mistakes and limitation of strength, they enjoy tea and they like balls and music. They are happy with social life. They compete.

Will go back to work tomorrow.

aged patients in the hospital ward

Was he a teacher? Was he a hawker? Was he a clerk or was he a broker?

All look alike in the checks uniforms lying in beds weak and some connected to tubes. Who could go against fate?

Peking Restaurant for roast duck.

Columbia water bottles are all BPA free. Which brand is better? Nalgene or Columbia?

Koala is happy getting along well with W's family.

Flowers

Violets. Forget-me-not. Roses. Orchids. Tulips. Peonies.

Life is a heavy cross. Death would be an end to all pains if there is no such existence of heaven or hell.

Someone says if we would meet again some nasty guys in heaven, could we choose not to enter heaven. Or if not, would heaven be quite like hell. Coz heaven is eternal. Dunn worry, heaven must be hopefully spacious enough to keep us comfortable.

BPA free

I bought one water bottle made of stainless steel and one of safe plastic. One made in China and one in USA. Nalgene. Bisphenol A free.

Lunch at Lippo. Celebrated someone's promotion.

William came to dinner. Steaks, lotus root soup, lettuce ..........................

He brought me sea salt and black sugar from Okinawa.

L'Occitane

Foaming jelly for bath & shampoo. My aid after a long day.

So many people around me have seen it. It seems I am a bit slow in understanding the movie "Inception". Everybody else knows better than I do.

Wowwowow!

Dinner at Jasmine Palace.
