Cancer Fund Walk tomorrow

Taliana - perming hair. Saw Elsie there.

HK Park

A pleasant place.

Things have been smooth today. Putonghua class - mature guys and capable guys.

it is getting cool today

Friday again. A bit cool. I have to put on more warm clothes.

I had a very enjoyable evening with b yesterday. We made a slide for her by putting the hard board for changing diapers to lean against the sofa in her bedroom. So much fun. She can say "camera" in both languages.

Sweet dreams I have had. That is indeed a great award in my life.

look for nice & caring companions

Like yawning, laughter is contagious. We will laugh more if we are with large groups of people who are in a mood to laugh and if we are in a relaxed setting and feeling uninhibited. We laugh more most often not in response to jokes, but when we are in happy relationships with friends.

So look for the knowledgeable, cheerful, generous, caring and capable guys.

Stay away from the ignorant, vulgar, mean, jealous and stupid. At least, IGNORE.

We need to tolerate abundant unpleasant situations in life. Hence, give ourselves a treat whenever we can. A cup of mint tea. A walk in the park. A chat. A buy. A carefree laughter. A yummy dish. To hug & kiss your beloved. To take beautiful photos. To write & say "Miss you!" To enjoy like a child. Remain a child at heart.

friends are friends

We can chat silly topics and tease each other.

After work, I attended the dancing lessons. Fun!

a canteen with a seaview

We knew each other since May 2006. Beijing and HK.

Most of us got a promotion after that.

We can share fun and ideas. Really nice. $40 each for the lunch. Sung is vegetarian and always preaches Buddhism.

Previously, the meeting place was at Queensway.

Koala is well. My backpain is dimisnihing. I bought food in the supermarket. I went to Ah Chi. I ate roast goose w/rice noodles in soup in Yung Kee for lunch. I played mj and won $500.00.

I like my new jeans.

Van likes her new environment. b enjoys swing. Taitai was so happy that b fried eggs for her.

Writing isn't just for would-be novelists. There are many different reasons to write. Rather than concentrating on how bad things are, focus on the fact that they could be much worse. Psychiatrists call this downward comparison.

Make it a habit to find at least one thing to be grateful for - nothing is too small to write down.

Today: I know I am still working reasonably well and a cheque will be on the way to my bank account at the end of the month. I can blog and have a chance to curse everyone, to rant and rave, to let go of anger and frustration on the pages. Of course, I can also send along love messages.

And here is one - Koala, get well soon. I think of you everyday.

our good time together

computer guru & computer idiot

If anybody would have known how I have been struggling with my notebook, my blog and my photos storage the whole day.

Like crazy and can't seek help from anywhere. At long last ................................

However, as someone had said long ago, I am indeed the one who would roll up my sleeves and say " let me try" and then keeps on trying and grasping as much as I could. I am persistent.

For the first time, I heard of "cloud computing & services". Technology paces are so fast.

Koala, keep your promises.

I luv U!

Wish you all the best!

Autumn view in Holland

a fine Monday

Weather is getting cooler, but not yet cold.

I have accepted the reality that work is tiring and people are tiring. But for our livelihood, we spend our lives in toils.
