vuvuzelas

Should vuvuzelas be banned? Irritating noises.

To have the washing machine fixed. Bulb in the kitchen had been changed.

Little girl worked in an office for the first day. Lots to share.

b is so cute. Is Por Por feeling well?

All 4 who had lunch with me yesterday will fly to different places today. Poor me has to work.

918 Museum. Taking of Oaths to be Communist Party members. The Tigers Park - killing the chickens and the ducks swimming in the pond. Nightmare. Manchu Pu Yi's Palace. Songhuajiang and the Church.

Funny translations of signages. When will we have higher standard of hygiene and English language?

north-eastern provinces

Harbin, Changchun, Shenyang, Jilin, Chang Bai Shan, Jilin, Harbin.

Tian Chi must be close to Heaven. So amazing!

Free internet everywhere. Beautiful scenaries. Historical spots. Highway. Very good vehicles. Resouces abundant.

Impolite people - they push, they jump queue, they dont say "sorry" nor "thank you". They smoke and spit. Awful toilets and some are more aweful than the others; oily & salty food. Unpredictable standard of services & provisions. Dirty basins & toilet bowls found in the so-called best hotel in Jilin.

I remain vegetarian whenever I am in Mainland as I am so suspicious about the meats there. Why not? I saw restaurants selling dog meat, donkey meat and silk cocoons. Horse meat. Enough. Sausages that look pretty dull. Cakes with funny colourings.

We have been lucky. We were able to see Tian Chi. Harbin was like a fireplace before we backtracked, it downpoured in midnight when we stayed in Volga Manor. A natural cooler.

The whole group of senior citizens except a few young men who came with parents.

Despite all said, I enjoyed the 8 days & 7 nights.

Happy Father's Day

To all the good fathers and all the wonderful mothers who take up the fathers' responsibilities on top of their own.

dragon boat festival

Spent the whole day with a friend.

Can't think of anything really bad. Nor anyone.

Palermo

Palermo is Sicily's cultural, economic & touristic capital. It is a city rich in history, culture, art, music and food with a good Mediterranean weather. One of the top tourist destinations. She is enjoying the weather & food, beach & museum. She loves me tons, she said.

AVA is having a trip in Hokkaido.

When little girl comes home & maid returns, I will start my vacation.

Lots of fun. Why bothered?

Cotton Path - :(

Beautiful rings from Thomas Sabo & Arte.

Sex and the City 2

Muffins with ham/mayo and muffins with butter/marmalade for breakfast.

Dimsum with Por.

Movie. The 4 women's lives are really enviable. Their friendship is so lasting and accommodating. Some women friends may be sympathetic when you are ill but they just feel sour when you get promotion or when you look pretty. The worst type is those who feel so excited when you are ill & keep spreading words and curse you for whatever is good to you, say wearing a diamond ring and a trendy suit or having some traces of romance. Of course, these are not friends but a bunch of bitches with corrupted souls. They live in hell before they die. Jealousy and bad-mouthedness are punshiment enough. Only those who are loved will love. Hence, they must be deprived of love and care that makes them shamelessly bitter.

Take my laughters, take my tears; take my happiness, take my pains. No separation possible. Ignore the unworthy ones.

Wonton noodles for dinner.

Now that I have got another clothes-alteration shop the service of which is better and cheaper.

Friday is a good Friday

Can't think of anything for complaint.

happy thursday

Busy busy busy. Thankful for everything.

I just want to be me

For all those whom I love, I just want to be me. Life is a package of joys and sorrows. I am never jealous of other people. Neither would I dream to be anybody else. Who would have you all? I just want to be me coz I cannot afford to lose you.

I just want to be me. Won't give you up for the world!

from Paris with love - cool

John Travolta. Pierre Morel. Jonathan Rhys Meyers. An excitement for the evening.

So tired.

the world of quiet & peace

I can only find the world of quiet and peace in the oil-painting. Mountains, grass and waterfall. Dawn. No sight of people. A day to start.

Friday: Wonton noodles and dumplings for lunch. Followed by Cheung Hing tea w/sugar & milk (HK style).

Friday: Shanghai cuisine for dinner.

Saturday: breakfast, buying fruits, dimsum with Por. Must see Anis. Ah Lin said I have become much fitter than she saw me last time.

I was told that some single professionals keep a number of rabbits at home, some even lizards as pets. OMG!

An amethyst finger ring & a pair of peridot ear-rings.

For the first time, Miranda and I went to buy sports shoes, socks and bags to be carried for walks after work. She used to shop at Episode & Jessica. We had dinner at Deli France. Chit-chat. We first met in 1979.

b is walking barefoot in the sitting room, so cute. Happiness is watching children growing up healthy & naughty.

Por had spoken to Jeff. I hope the message is well received.
