A good friend & a delicious dinner in a nice restaurant.

Rain & Rainbow

Life is tough.

Our mental, emotional and physical health face potential assaults all the time.
But by keeping everything in perspective and our sights on a larger purpose,
things can cease to be sacrifices and turn into opportunities instead.

I love Me and I must take care of the well-being of Me. Unless I do so, I will not be capable of loving others. Who could take better care of Me than I myself?

Times passes all the same whether we spend time in hatred, anger, grief or frustrations.

Enjoy life as it is - busy or idle, smooth or stuck, easy or challenging .............

a time to remember

what food is free from poison?

Cucumbers, water-melons & fruit jellies.

phishing & pharming

Phishing is an email fraud scam conducted for the purporses of information and identity theft. The perpetrator sends out legitimate-looking emails that ask for IDs and PINs.

Pharming is secretly implanting a virus or malicious programme in the computer & hijacking the web browser.

That's life!

Life is full of fun and problems!

lucky girl

baby teacher

youth & love

sweet anise

She can sing. She can read. She can dance. She can make tea for me and fry egg/steaks with her toy utensils.

I am absolutely enjoying her company. GREAT!!!

Of course, Van is a very good cook nowadays. She makes lots of pastries, salad & desserts. The homemade onion soup is superb. Lorraine will attempt the recipe when she goes home.

nothing separates us

Time, distance, success or failure, health or illness, glory or mistakes. We are closely knit together as ever.

cemeteries

Do you mind or do you like to live next to a cemetery?

The answers would vary from people of different countries and cultures.

Or that nobody would like to live near a cemetery? Whatever nation, religion or age, man or woman?

JW Marriott Hotel

We had dinner there on Friday evening. The flight was delayed by more than one hour. I stayed there for one night. Sweet dreams!

Lunch at Kam Dau Kee Seafood Restaurant - famous for suckling pigs.

Happy re-union with Lorraine.

Haven of Hope Hospital - visisted Pa there.

Everybody came to my home for dinner.

Kevin will start working in JP Morgan in mid June.

living in a house

She will be sharing a house with 2 friends. There is a garden with a tree and some plants.

On another day, I showed Honey b where I brought Yeeyee to the school bus early in the morning, beside the fountain and with birds twittering up above. Now Yeeyee will be managing a household by herself.

Counting down. Lots of thoughts. Yesterday & tomorrow.

Talked to Pam. Maryjane is her main concern. Parents' roles are for life.

DOs & DONTs

Don't do unpleasant things in an unpleasant way.

Don't hate unpleasant people coz they do not deserve our intensive feelings.

Do relax. Do enjoy.

Honey b refused to go to school today and she told me on phone it was another baby boy whose name she did not know. So funny!

A place for life and death.

Pa was happy to see us. He is so tough.

luv today & now

It is Pa's birthday today but he has been in the hospital since morning. We have to wait for results of the various medical examinations.

Luckily we had celebrated his birthday 2 days ago. Love while we can. We cannot live twice. Love, or to be more precise, expression of love could be late sometimes.

Tin Hau Festival in Lamma Island

my prayer

May Min have sufficient courage and strength to resolve her problems!
