koala & I in tokyo

alternatives to complaining

To whine about our woes merely focuses our attention on them and, it seems, actually increases our pain because we become so conscious of it. We have so many better choices for greater wholeness.

There are exercises and other natural pain relievers, like meeting friends, smelling the flowers along the way in a park and noticing the progression of the seasons. Warm baths, movies, books, chicken soup, massages and sleeping.

Prayer Prayer Prayer works! Works magic!

Little Princess

A birthday card and a Thomas story book.

I taught her who was the Fat Controller. Then she pointed at the Guard standing next to him and said that was the Thin Controller. How cute!

Grief & Hope

We must acknowledge and lament the griefs of our losses, lest we turn our despair inward and drown in depression. But we are also freed to face our griefs boldly by the assurance of hope given to us through the faith in God.

dunn ask for any explanation

Just laugh when things are smooth & grieve over ill fortune. Then leave everything to His gracious care.

Fate dominates & we simply live on before we are summoned to depart from this world.

The Carinhill

Chiu moved from Fanling to Route Twisk.

House-warming party - means having lunch, dessert & dinner + mj game.

Spacious & quiet for a retired couple, not for me. Too Far away & facing the graveyard.

We bought them a pair of crystal swans.

We had pizza & chicken wings from the Pizza Hut for lunch. Mr Chiu made us the chocolate cakes with soft hearts + vanilla ice-cream. We had curry beef brisket with potatoes and carrots, potato & shrimps salad, roast chicken, spaghetti & plum wine for dinner.

OVOlogue

Hong Kong Restaurant - OVOlogue 衹月

Housed in a 120-year old historical building Woo Cheong Pawn Shop, OVOlogue is more than a restaurant - a dialogue with taste, art and heritage, which extends the lifestyle concept through appreciation of west-meet-east quality Chinese food ...

To celebrate a friend's birthday there.

blossoms

no wrath no worries

How ideal and how impossible!

We must remain healthy & safe & energetic before we can take care of others.

So have a good rest & enjoy the weekend. Kick away worries as worries help not.

Face problems, like old age, illness, loneliness & frustrations. Accept such as we have no way to escape.

Give yourself a treat - a cup of peach or earl grey tea, a pink lamington, a piece of mango cheese cake. Remember some good old days when we were young & innocent.

Evergreen Tree by Cliff Richard

Oh darling, will our love be like an evergreen tree
Stay ever green and young as the seasons go
Your kisses could make love grow like an evergreen tree
Bloom in the summer's sun and the winter's snow
On every branch will blossom, dreams for me and you
Our tree of love will stay ever green, if our hearts stay ever true
Oh darling, I love you so, don't you know that I'll be
True 'til the leaves turn blue on the evergreen tree
On every branch will blossom, dreams for me and you
Our tree of love will stay ever green, if our hearts stay ever true
Oh darling, I love you so, don't you know that I'll be
True 'til the leaves turn blue on the evergreen tree
On the evergreen tree, on the evergreen tree.

so funny!

Dinner with Anissa.

We won the case. See what follows.

peace

Peace is a state of mind. Peace comes from faith. Peace comes from forgiveness. Peace is my name.

Sometimes peace is just in our hearts. Sometimes peace is so far away that it has to be chased after and yet the efforts end up quite fruitless.

Aal Izz Well!

have a sound sleep

Nothing can help but sweet dreams for tonight.

Forget about the bad and remember the good. Believe tomorrow will be a better day.

Sleep is the best tonic. I love me.

the owl

Van was wearing a pendant in the pattern of an owl. I told Anissa that the owl does not sleep at night but stands on a tree to look around. It does not go to school at day time but sleeps. Thus she said, "It does not listen to Mama's words. So naughty!"

A happy day of typhoon

Feeling good for the whole day.

I have spent wonderful time with Mama & Anissa.
