The Royal Wedding

The Blue Bar

Happy Hour in the Four Seasons Hotel. $55.00 + 10% service charge for a camomile tea with honey and some dimsum, sandwiches, snacks etc like tea buffet. Recommended.

Honey b is so cute. She cried when I departed. She just wanted me to stay or she could ride MTR with me. I must live longer for her sake, in good condition of course.

Their trip in NZ was adventurous but mothers worried about them then. Farm stay was interesting, or scary? Fun or shock? The farm was run by one woman who was a widow. When she asked what they would like to have for dinner, they said' "duck". Then they had a wild duck for dinner and that she told them she had just shot it from the forest. When she drove them around in a truck, suddenly they discovered there was a black lamb freshly killed lying behind their seats.

Scream!!! And many more ..............

Boutique Hotel

Boutique Hotel is a term popularized in North America and the UK to describe intimate, usually luxurious or quirky hotel environments. Sometimes known as "design hotels" or "lifestyle hotels", they are smaller than the mainstream hotels.

Boutique hotels are always individual & focused on offering their services in a comfortable, intimate & welcoming setting.

B & F will stay in Hotel 41 London which is just behind Buckingham Palace with a black & white theme during their stay in Europe.

Honey b is home.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame 1939

A movie for my Easter Saturday morning.

I had seen the cartoon before. But it was never as astonishing as acted by real persons. My heart was heavy as lead throughout. Fate was so cruel to Quasimodo. Hence, he asked a statue at the end seeing his love leaving, "Why was I not made of stone, like thee?" Esmeralda's beauty seemed to be the cause of all the fights and kills. Gringoire v Phoebus is indeed a representation of many men in the world - with power, ideals, choice of love and way of love ............

The Church, the King, the nobles and the commons. Love, madness of the crowd, selfishness, despair, the sacred and the evil. Stark yet lavish sets.

The production was grand even by today's scale. I learn that the movie had not sticked to Victor Hugo's plot totally.

Sai Tso Wan Playground

a sunny Good Friday

I will go to Sai Tso Wan Playground for a walk. Must give myself some fresh air and energy.

I just read from news that some HK artists were arrested in Mainland for possession of dangerous drugs. They cannot resist the temptation and their lives must be too stressful.

I like the jade pendant in the shape of a green peppper with a jade loop for the necklace.

Papa called while I was walking. He wanted to have a Peking duck meal with Por and J & J. How easy for me to gratify him. Done. I bought 2 pairs of shoes for the boys. Everybody was happy including myself, of course.

Joshua L Chamberlain

We know not of the future, and cannot plan for it much. But we can hold our spirits and our bodies so pure and high, we may cherish such thoughts and such ideas, and dream such dreams of lofty purpose, that we can determine and know what manner of men we will be whenever and wherever the hour strikes that calls to noble action ..... No man becomes suddenly different from his habit and cherished thought.

what's up?

surveys by telephone

They always claim that no privacy issues would be raised. However, they will ask about the details of the household: number of members, age group and income level and even surnames and who stay overnight etc.

What purposes can be served? How would they guarantee the interviewees are protected.

How accurate the replies would be and what analysis can be attained?

desserts bring along good feelings

Happy Birthday Agnes

Jasmine Palace

Hey! Many many more birthday dinners to come. Nice to be together. Anissa was shy and covered her face with her small hands, peeping at uncles and auntie through the fingers.

Huashan

Huashan has such a dangerous hiking trail. But that is why it attracts people who want challenges that either try their nerve or break their bones. Stunning!

she is sweet

I enjoy telling her stories so much, so much, so much. It is very wonderful for an exhausted me to pick up the childlike moments. She often cries when I bid good-bye. Sometimes I have been thinking not to depart too soon from this world to save her tears. May my wish be granted!

Good old songs bring us back to the good old days. Fond memories. Many aged people tend to disobey traffic lights. So dangerous.

Camp Nou Match, Barcelona

Tai Ping Koon Stanley Street

To celebrate Suen's birthday. I felt so warm with friends around. A strong sense of security and comfort. Put aside the exhausted feelings. We had souffle - desserts that pacify tired bodies & souls. Van & Min would take their vacation. Glad that I can do something for WB.

i luv my friends

They all remind me the importance of health and ask me not to be worried by work. They also remind me the importance of earning a handsome salary which can cover lots of good deeds. They buy me lunch and tea. They render assistance to WB. So I am content. Dinner at Monticello. Yummy Italian food. Life is too short for hatred & anger. Live for happiness. Do not waste time on the unworthy. Avoid injuries as much as we can. Cheers!

I feel very English today

Min told me the first Sunday in April is the Mother's Day in UK. She sent me lovely words and thus I feel so very English. 7 hours belated due to time zone difference. She is doing fine in her HR and law papers. Much much inspired as a Uni student. Carry on!

a day of blessings

Talked to Min in the morning by IDD. Boss on leave. Nothing troublesome happened. Free lunch with colleagues around. A walk in the HK Park. Tea with a cake from Rebecca. Taiji after work. Dinner at The Fish Bar with Van & Anise. Holding Baby in my arms sitting beside the pool, looking at the dark sky with no moon nor stars, surrounding buildings with lights on and people praising Baby, I find life a very worthy journey. Of course, I know I will grumble from time to time and my friends have to lend me their patient ears. Min did not go to the interview. She made up her mind to take the other way after due consideration.
