Monday - lunch at Man Ho, arranged by Agnes. She is as enthusiastic as ever. We had budgeted and delicious food. She is very good in financial planning. Busy busy day. Stiff shoulders reflect the tension.
Nita brought the souvenir and the thank-you card to Dr Lui. He looked happy to receive them.
Tuesday - lunch & dinner with Van and A came to dinner at my home, too. He works late from Monday to Friday. Luckily, he goes to gym every Sunday. B has bought a flat in NT. He is happy with his conditions.
Min sounds alright. But mothers are always thinking of children. Children never grow up enough. Porpor double-boiled some chuenpei for me.
Papa got approval-in-principle the refund for the machine to assist his respiration in sleep.
Estella has given me the name of the taiji tutor. See if I have the determination to start.
Kwong is a fan of Paul Newman and several stars of his time.

Paul Newman
Pingpong. The German racket is more powerful than the Hung Sheung Hei - 6 stars. You like it or not. Marga has gone to Kota Kinabalu with Pau.
I walked through the Victoria Park to Causeway Bay to take a bowl of wonton noodles in Ho Hung Kee. The pink umbrella Van bought me is terrific. Light, pretty & UV protection. Collapsible.
I have started to like the radio very much since Van has moved out. Radio HK 2.
Albert Au is forever the boy in the neighbourhood. I have been listening to his folksong programme for one hour. So nice. Comforting. Brought back memories in the young days.
Paul Newman has died at the age of 83. His marriage with Joanne Woodward is enviable. Long lasting marriage is just like a fairy tale in Hollywood.
Agnes asked me about the English name of a certain shrimp. She thought it was scampy. I found from Wikipedia that it should be squillid mantis shrimp. Or simply mantis shrimp.
Dinner at KT with Van & A.
Min has gone to London yesterday with Winki & Billy. She is so excited about Soho. She has received the air-parcel. She has bought a cute gift for Uncle and a book frok Jeffrey Archer for me. She has got used to the bite already. Yet, the senses have not come back entirely.
Keep my fingers crossed.

a walk in the peak
Always a pleasant experience to walk in the Peak and have all round views. A bit cloudy.
I failed to listen to Min and therefore wasted the efforts to send over the souvenir to Dr Lui. 5 day week.
I bought a pair of leisure pants - navy blue - good for travel.
Dim sum lunch with Van & A.
Dinner with Nita at home. It is going to be a home for the old-aged.

golden bauhinia
Lots of memories when we had lunch there. 3 years' LYO. The experience is unique. It was first time I got involved in a project of such scale and played such a leading role. Pressure, worries and sense of achievement. Lots of gains and fun, too.
Min played badminton with her school-mates.
Van & Andrew dined with me on Wednesday.
Marga will to go Kota Kinabalu with Pau this Sunday. I will play pingpong by myself. She will go to Beijing end of October. So she cannot join Lorraine & me to Australia.
Very excited about the trip.

typhoon no 8
I do not know since when that the names of the typhoons become so foreign to me.
I can hardly pronounce or remember one.
I likely the girls' names years ago.
Talked to Min over Skype. MSN Wenxi and Idd Lorraine.
I would like to go back to work tmr.
Terrible to stay at home with a typhoon forbidding us to go out.

Good company, good food, good environment & good chats ........ A pingpong racket.
Van's top got stained as the colour of the collars came off.
Talked to Min over Skype. She knew a lot of the HK news.
A typhoon is coming. Wow!

you don't mess with the zohan
Friday - lunch with WM at Thai Basil. Dinner at Hill Road. Lost again. I am a terrible player.
Saturday - seminar in the morning. Very interesting. Lunch at Sai Wan Ho. Tea at McCafe. Chatted with Min over Skype.
I brought Nita to see the movie & we had some wonton noodles near Times Square. See how lonely I am. The typical US exaggerated noisy, hilarious stuff on sex, monies and people's greed and US is the most accommodating place in the world ..... blah blah blah .....
Sunday - no pingpong as Wu could not book any table. She hates the free offer during these 3 months. Her schedules were often upset. Had tea with Ella and browsed at Sogo and the Causeway Bay areas. Dinner at Porpor 's house.
22 Sept is Jeff's birthday. We gave him red packets.
Chatted a lot with Min over Skype. She is still suffering from a cold. 2 days already. She is feeling uncomfortable. I told her about the poisonous dairy products. She is very angry about the incidents.
I read from a columnist about her views in respect of Wong Yuk-man. I share the same thoughts.

Lehman Brothers & AIG
Wednesday - joined the Wanchai group for lunch as I really missed them. James said I am people-oriented. Sure, I am.
Dinner - a happy chat & nice food except that I had to prepare for the test today.
UCH - spent the whole day there. 7:45 am to 6:00 pm. Some miserable feelings returned.
Luckily the test results are all good. Much relieved.
Dinner with Porpor & Nita.
13 Sept 2008 - a nightmare for the global investment bank.
How much impact would it be on HK shareholders? Must be some terror for some time.
Min is back happy & more confident.

vacation leave
I had not cancelled today's leave although Michelle went back to UK last night. I deserve 1 day's relaxation.
I had lunch with Ber at APM. We chatted and chatted as if the 40+ years have not passed away. We have gone through childhood, teenage, work, marraige & children. She has retired for several years already and I am still a bread winner and a school fee earner.
She brought me to Mongkok to order for a sourvenir for Dr Lui. She is familiar with the shop there. She told me Ann's home is just like a rubbish bin or a dirty warehouse. How could her husband tolerate? But he has, for many years, and with a patient and smiling face. That is marraige.
Min has returned to school safe & happy. She has been tidying her room - tidying her room which she seldom does in HK. Totally spoilt. We love them, spoil them and then hate them for being spoilt.
Dinner home - congee. Must remember about the diet before the medical test on Thursday. God knows how scared I am.

Must see the musical next time I go to London.
Meryl Streep is just wonderful. Pierce Brosnan is still very good-looking.
ABBA - those were the days. The songs bring back lots of memory.
Dinner at home.
kevin drove us to the Airport. Porpor enjoyed the latte from Starbucks.
Min forgot to place her manicure set in the suitcase. 2 items were thrown away. She was unhappy about it.
Wish her a safe journey and a smooth path ahead.
Will meet Ber tomorrow for lunch. She is a contented and mild lady. Her company is always soothing and gentle.

much relieved
Min went to Dr Tong. Took photos and x-ray. Reset the braces. No decay. Less pain than yesterday.
Good condition. Wait for the senses to come back on lower lip and the small area beneath it.
Ho prefers less expensive restaurant. He is a decent person.
We will celebrate Patrick's birthday. The friendship is invaluable. We all wish the comradeship can continue forever. Nice to have friends of same wave length and sharing fun and difficulties though we do not think alike at all times. That is just natural. We are not robots.

Sweeney Tod
The Demon Barber in Fleet Street - Johnny Depp. Most bloody & cruel movie.
Insufficient forewarning - Min has a hard time in having the arch bars removed. Luckily I have taken a day off to accompany her.
Had lunch with the 2 girls. Must treasure such time. Valuable.
HouLaoshi hates the leftists. You can say anything to her except .........

Election
Voices or noises?
Philip always says I am a great Mom. He asks Min to love & respect me whenever he sees her. He thinks my support to the girls is great.
Busy busy busy.
Lunch at Lippo to farewell Pauline.
Ella is fine. She has lots of information about the Election and the candidates. She has strong likes & dislikes about the various political parties and individuals.
Min has gone out with her friends for Karaoke. I am the lonesome Mom who has a very quiet evening.
Lorraine has gone to Malaysia for business.

Peter Lee & Jay Cheung
The elder brother of Bruce Lee had died in Austrlia while watching TV. It seems to be so painless. People related to him are well-known figures. 2 marraiges & 2 divorces. Lots of gains and lots of regrets.
Min brought me to Hair at Festival Walk. The stylist recommended was Jay. I like the hair cut very much.
Dinner at home with Nita. Min met her friends before she will fly back to UK one week afterwards. Charmaine in Paris, Axelle in Paris, Karin in LA.
Raymond will come back to study in HKU. He does not like Sydney U. He thinks life there is terribly boring. So nice to have choice.
I will go to see the show of Wong Tsz-wah tmr.
Van bought me a box of mooncakes. I bought one box today, too.

thank god it's friday
Dr Lui is so nice. The nurse, too.
The check-up is good. Everything in progress. Still, the numbness is there.
"Made of honour" at AMC PP with Min. Took some night snack at ZEN after that. Benny is always warm and courteous. He is a very good service provider.
Patrick Dempsey had married a woman of forties when he was 21. Can't imagine.

yea it has been passed
Not feeling that terrific. Quite exhausted.
I am a wrestler. Everyday, I wrestle with different beings.
Not exactly rivals, but parties of various interests. Competing, conflicting. I am a loner in some way. A boy I know calls himself Loner Sam. He must be sad.
Often I bear bruises on my body & soul. My home is my shelter, my healing corner.
Life is a very complicated game.
Miranda tel me 2 days ago. We have known each other for about 30 years. We are friends throughout but sometimes we are more friendly, sometimes less friendly.
Meg thinks I love Min more than anyone else. Kwong said I am in love with Min head over heels.

will it pass tmr?
Who can relax totally and sever work from home life or leisure time or even sleep time?
I cannot.
Food & kind words can bring along comfort. Hot drinks, too.
I had lunch with Van & Min at Lippo. We talked a lot about everything..
Female colleagues said I should wear dresses, especially colourful ones as I look younger then.
Sing & Chi offered me an hour of rest after work in their shop premises. Free or charge - plus a cup of warm water.
Hou Laoshi came.
Both Agnes & Tam said Min looks prettier than before. The corrective surgery does her lots of good.
Talked to Marga about Gungung & Porpor. Aged people become more stubborn and attention seeking. We will be like that years afterwards?

Meg & I had lunch at Shiro, Lane Crawford. Japanese set lunch about $200.00 per head. Could not join the Wanchai group.
Our Father, thankful for that I am capable physically, mentally & emotionally. I have team-mates who are good-willed. Some to steer, some to do hands-on. I have sufficient banknotes to foot the cross-harbour taxi bill. A maid to prepare a delicious meal for me and a sweet girl to wait for me home.
See if Vita Calm can do Porpor any good.
Tons of work wait for me tmr.
Meryl Streep acting Mama Mia! Must watch. Kris Phillips = Fei Xiang - an Anglo-American, born in Taiwan.
Irene, Andrew & I all have different votes.

boat trip on Saturday
I feel terribly sorry for Kitty Chong and her family. She was killed by an old big tree in Stanley. Like a flower blooming ..... and got stuck. May she RIP.
Saturday - boat trip around SaiKung with A's family. They are a group of decent and happy guys. Uncle Thomas + wife + daughter and Uncle Anthony + wife + daughter.
They are very active - swimming and rowing boats. Porpor, Min & I slept. So comfortable to sleep with sea breezes around you.
Sunday - pingpong. Sogo, Eugene Centre and Prince's Building.
Dinner at KT.

Andrew Lloyd Webber
His father is William Lloyd Webber and his brother Julian Lloyd Webber. Started composing at the age of 7. Now 60. His company is called Really Useful Group. So interesting.
Min was fascinated by Fei Xiang, Kris Phillips. Sandy Lam must be greatly honoured. Elaine Paige is not young. But foreigners have room for talents, even when they are aged. HK people are more cruel on aging woman artists.
Hou Laoshi came last night. She looks more or less the same after so many years.
We had a farewell lunch for Peter yesterday at Chiuchow Garden, Hutchison House.

follie follie silver finger ring
Got it back with the mother pearl heart. Too fragile. But pretty.
Usual group for lunch at Wanchai.
Edmund is back. We all treasure our time. He has experienced a lot.
Patrick will have his birthday on 23/9. 24/9 is a very special day for me.
Estella & Pauline are very nice team-mates. They are quiet, supportive and reliable.
Corcoran is another Irish I am fond of. The first Irish I admired is Sr Catherine Sheehan, my class mistress in F.3. Where is she now? We called her Fat Cat. She has rosy cheeks and a sweet sweet voice. She gave me stamps after class. She always remained cheerful. There was a younger Sr Kathleen in my primary 6. But she was more detached. Was she Irish, too?
There were 3 Philipino sisters who taught me: Sr Aida (stern), Sr Celine (stern) & Sr Yolanda (mild).
For the recent 15 years, I have Philippino maids instead.
A & Van came to dinner. Porpor stayed for a while after her visiting Gungung in UCH.

typhoon Nuri
Nuri is given by Malaysia, probably meaning parrot. Does it have anything to do with Nury Vittachi?
No work today as typhoon no. 8 & then 9 was hoisted.
Min & I went to APM to see a movie "la lingerie". All other shops were closed.
Entertaining.

V for Vendetta
Min asked me to buy a VCD for her. At last, I bought a DVD.
Andrew Lloyd Webber Masterpiece, too.
I will bring Min back to Dr Lui for exmaination this morning.

mashed potatoes & steamed beaten eggs
Min likes mashed potatoes: 2 boiled potatoes, soft & mashed, add in President unsalted butter and President French butter with sea salt grains or Lurpak spreadable soft butter + coarse ground black peppers. Van is cooking a lot. Practice makes perfect.
Custard tarts. Dorey promised to provide her some soft diet upon her return for 2-3 weeks. She can make requests to the canteen manager. Very caring.
Dried fish maw are better stewed or cooked in soup? The white ones are more expensive than the yellow ones.
One side of her face gets less swollen.
Ah Bian's daughter is getting mad. A concret example of riches nor power can bring us happiness. Only love. Love is the only salvation.

good progress
No more vomitting, no more nose bleeding. She can take congee. She bathed & shampooed. The intraveinous tube removed.
Phelps got the 8th gold medal. World record broke. Guo jing-jing got the gold medal.
The tall guy from Jamica won without efforts. He outperformed every other competitor.
Looking forward to seeing her new outlook.
Dr Lui paid a visit to her after 1pm. He looked very casual. They are just architects of people's faces. I will bring Nita to fetch her home tmr.
Should the sweet-voiced go onto the stage? Any need for the pretty face to appear and acted as if she sang?

another example of genius & idiot
Michael Phelps was diagnosed to be suffering from attention deficit and hyperactive syndrome in primary school.
Now here he is, on the stage of the world, winning gold medals one after the other.
He loves his mother. Mothers are great.
Min is having good progress. Porpor, Van & A all visited her in the noon session. We had lunch afterwards.
We shopped around in Wing On Plus. Souffle at Tai Ping Koon for tea.
Charmaine went to visit Min with a bunch of flowers. Pam's bunch was already there. So I brought back hers home.

Dr Lui has honoured what he promised to perform.
A very tiring day for me. To and fro QEH. Tension, stress & physical exhaustion.
Yet, it is all worthwhile.
Marga went to visit Min at 7:45 pm after her work. We had dinner together.
Keep watching her progress.
The woman archer Zhang won Korea by 1 arrow. 110 v 109. Sweating victory. Korea has firmly gripped the championship for 24 years, since 1984.
Yang Wei so cool.
Should a pretty looking face be arranged to match the sweet voice? Different opinions. Some say it is a fake; some say it is a show - should allow simulation to achieve perfection.
I will visit Min at noon. Van will go, too.
Pam's family has been very kind and sends along regards. Delile Gale found at Wikipedia. Can't believe it.

herb teas seem to be effective
Would I have recovered in any event or the herb teas are effective?
Vicki is terribly nice to me. She is always observing how much better or worse my cough is.
Had lunch with the 2 girls. They are so sweet.
I told Wenxi about the big fire & 2 firemen died. He was shocked & sad about it. Our family has very special feelings and affections towards firemen.
Dinner at home with Min. Porpor came with doubl-boiled chuenpei. So nice to be spoilt by Mama.

Beijing Olympics - amazing
Hurray! Our pride.
Min & I had a very sweet weekend in the Venetian Macao. She has reached 18 and could be admitted into the casino.
It is a Taipa Ferry Pier. The suite was very luxurious. Nice to have an exclusive time of mother & child. We had some Portugese food in the Dumbo Restaurant & brought home some snacks/titbits.
Karin will fly to US today to study.

Lorraine's birthday
Min & I went to APM in the evening & bought several books for casual reading. She likes reading as much as her Mom.
No work for the whole day - Wednesday.
Thursday -
Life is but a series of experiences & encounters. Sometimes bitter, sometimes sweet.
Don't ask "Why me?" Rather, "Why not me? Why him? Why her & why them?"
Earthquakes, traffic accidents, illnesses .............Why should I be more noble and worthy than the rest?

There but for a fortune goes you or me ...... An anti-war song.
We make mistakes, we have failures and frustrations. These are tests for us to go through so that we become more humble. We appreciate all the more and treasure all the more whatever is good, whoever is affectionate.
When luck is with us, enjoy the beautiful time. When fate is unkind to us, pamper ourselves quietly in all ways. However small ways they may be.
Life is but second after second, minute after minute & day after day. Time does not stay for us.
Love is the only salvation!
I talked to Lorraine over the phone until midnight. She is busy. She is as brave and lovable as ever.

A Very Happy Friday
That is for lunch after meeting in the morning. Man Ho Restaurant on Thursday.
Dinner at home with Nita. I went to shop in Festival Walk - Bally, K & C, Taste and Fortress. I bought a pair of fixed line + cordless phones for home. Sale everywhere. I could have gone broke.
Today, business ran smooth. An enjoyable lunch. No count on the gold card. The competition amongst hotels must be terribly keen.
A dinner with hearty laughters. We talked about the old days, the people we know and so funny everything turns as the company is loving. When I am awful, they forgive me. When I am stupid, they render assistance. When I am nice, they welcome me. Of course, I do the same to them.
Hou Laoshi came for putonghua tuition for Min. She likes the lessons very very much.

Lunch box in the office by myself. Better healed by talking less.

45 mins talk with a colleague
It is worthwhile. It is interesting to hear him from his perspectives.
Someone always says it is a waste of time as if his time is very precious & well spent and I am foolish and have nothing bettter to do. Another will think I am inviting trouble by being so responsive to staff.
I believe it is part of my duties to talk & listen to colleagues. Quite a substantial number of people die coz when they have anxieties or grievances, those around them are cold, indifferent, shy away and pretend they don't know or they just don't care. Some even tease and say they deserve it. That is the cruelty of this world.
Listening helps.
Pingpong in the morning. Stella gave me some cough drops. Dinner at Porpor's home.
The life of police is tough. Nowadays, the right of citizens are so high. The bad guys can often run away. The police has to tolerate.
My Follie Follie finger ring is stupid. The mother pearl heart fell off and got lost.
Today is Kevin's birthday. I gave him a laisee thru Marga.
Is terrorism around us?

roka
Don't go to ROKA. Terribly expensive. Not value for money. Food just so-so. Seats not particularly comfortable. Glass panels - too exposed, unless you enjoy being seen while eating.
Min has been granted a visa. But she does not know how long the period will be. Anyway, her passport will be sent back within a few days' time.
Nice dinner at home - apple soup with pork and figs/dates etc.
Still dying with coughs. Who can save me?

Heath Ledger
Since he has died, I miss him all the more.
Stayed in QEH until mid morning. I pray very hard for Min's successful surgery.
Had lunch with Min. We talked a lot. I am glad that she appreciates my efforts in keeping her happy. She asked whether she has become more fierce. I said "no". She has become more confident and assertive.
Kwong wrote about his promotion. Wherever he is, he displays his intelligence and hard work.
The house is clean and I have dinner at home with monkey head soup. So comforting.
Agnes is forever a nice pal. Rosana, too.

no earthquake in the philippines
Min told me a famous prophet announced that there would be a deadly earthquake in the Phillippines on 18th July which was yesterday. She was very worried about Nita. She did not want Nita to die. We need her in the house, she said. I agreed.
Worked in the morning today. Had a bowl of Vietnamese beef soup with noodles. Good taste. Alone in Wanchai. A bowl of vegetables in superior soup. The boss is polite to customers but bad mannered to his wife who serves as the shop assistant. He spoke Putonghua. He must have come from the Mainland.
Afternoon at McCafe. Lemon lamington and blueberry muffin. Latte & earl grey. Everything is so convenient in HK.
Min went to a ball in a boys' school. She has grown up.
Dinner with Porpor, Van & A. Marga tel to say that she meet Ella in CCC.

quarry bay on thursday
I enjoyed the workshop - people-oriented. I get close to my grade members. We had lunch together. I bought a grey top and a pr of black leggings for Van.
Had my hair trimmed at Charisma by Jo. He thought George had over-permed my hair. They never like their peers. Spiteful. Dinner at Kln Bay with Min - Deli Viet.
Friday - lunch with Marga & 2 girls. I gave back the tiny diamond ear-rings to Marga. Min presented her birthday gift. She will go to live band show tonight. She will go to a ball in Saturday evening. She has grown up.
I had dinner with Ju at Fish Bar. At the open space at the poolside. We agreed that we must love and treat ourselves well. I liked the berries pudding.
I came home and cleaned the floor. Household chores are never ending like office work. Life is a series of doing this and that.
The autumn term school bill has arrived. I have no choice but keep on earning for the settlement of so many bills. I have only ads and bills in my letter box. When can I have a letter? A personal one?

Tiger thermo flask - 2 litres
I like Wing On Department Store. A wide range of goods and reliable.
It is a stainless steel double walled handy jug. It looks very pretty in the kitchen. Silver body with black plastic top.
A lonely dinner at Fairwood downstairs. Min & her friends had McDonald's. I ate by myself - a dish of rice with curry beef brisket. Some potatoes. Last order. Very shabby feeling. I like to have companions.
I will go to Quarry Bay tmr for the whole day.
Laundry counter woman not polite - cold & indifferent. Every time it is I who says "thank you". But I don't really care. That is why she is there and I am where I am.
Marga will probably go to Beijing in October. Hope she would enjoy the trip.

Irene tel & said she likes it. It must be true.
I went to buy a pair of Bally shoes in Festival Walk yesterday after work. No comparable. So I have to watch out for the sale. Always black and traditional style. But comfortable & appropriate.
I am wearing the ear-rings of the tiny diamonds. I decide to take it from Marga. Never tired of owning diamonds. And wearing them in different settings.
Min starts to clear up old stuffs. A good start.
My coughing is getting better but not totally recovered yet.

Ayuthaiya - Thai restaurant
Dinner with Min & Karin. Karin will go to study in LA after summer. Her elder sister in US, too. But a bit far away. Charmaine in Switzerland and Axelle in Paris. Min has an international network.
She admires men of attainments. Just wish that she will meet someone of high standard. Interesting to learn that she has to do kitchen duties in Kent. She knows she has to adapt to the environment for a better living.
She bought "Nothing to lose" by Lee Child as a birthday present for Uncle.
Told that KMing has suffered a stroke yesterday. Poor guy.
Irene has returned from her cruise & trip for the midnight sun. Today is her birthday. I have bought a tennis racket bag - limited edition by Prince with golden coloured leather - specially designed to sponsor Maria Sharapova. She is a Russian beauty who wins fame & glory in Wimbledon and the world. There is an intial "S" on the bag.
I bought the smaller size.

secret unveiled
Eventually, I know who bought her the perfume. It is she who bought it for herself and the money is mine.
I met a very very poor girl today after work in the MTR train. She has serious skin problem. She wore a jacket with a hood. I saw her face and hands. I wanted to cry. I felt very painful. She avoided people by sitting on the train floor at the end corner. She played computer games. It meant she is at least with normal intelligence. That is sadder?
My mood has been down for the whole evening. I told Lorraine about this. I am scared and feel much much pain for her and her parents.
Tiring work. Brought clothes to the laundry. Bought stuffs from supermarket.
The only good memory is I had lunch with my 2 daughters.
Still coughing.

cold with sore throat
Saw Dr Lam on Saturday before I fetched Min.
Too tired to go out. We had takeaway from Sceneway Restaurant.
Pingpong on Sunday. Lunch with Paus at TST.
Rainstorm again.
With Min at home, I will never be idle. She either keeps talking to me, asserting her own ideas or listens to music or watching "Friends" and laughs. You will feel her presence everywhere, every minute. She cooks and leaves the kitchen with cooking utensils to be cleaned. She picks clothes and touches on all items. She puts on make-up and you will know there is such a great range of nail polish and face powder.
Children keep us useful and youthful. Fighting over ideas, habits & spending pattern and studying pattern .............So energizing! She does not tell you "secrets". I just notice there is a bottle of perfume on the table. From whom?

Lei Garden, APM
Expensive. But it is all for Chu.
Post celebration coz we were engaged and could hardly pick a date convenient to all.
Min is packing. She has to clean up the whole room. Trying on her.
Lost a great deal in the mj game. Luckily, it is only points, not real money.
Will fetch Min tmr.
I have entered into e-banking systems. So easy. Why did I start so late?

everything fine except the guy with funny hairdo
Had lunch with Ber. She said everything was fine except the solicitor's hairdo and demeanour. Too nervous.
Dinner with Van & A.
Reading is cultivated best in circumstances with no TV nor computer.
Min is coming home tmr. She was surprised by Chrystal's behaviour. Stella was very upset.
A class of taiji downstairs. 40-50.
Will celebrate Chu's birthday this evening. He does not prefer exchanging presents. he thinks it is a waste of money.

edmund is not well
Sth wrong with his heart. Some blockage? We are getting old. Must keep the best shape & condition. But what is the golden formula?
Dinner with E at Times Square.
I have got only a few friends.
Van bought the bank draft for me already. Saved $80.00.
Mom & the 2 boys enjoyed the movie. Good. At least I have done something good.
No news from Min. Where is the little girl?

Kung Fu Panda
Merry mood. There must be huge efforts & input by some Chinese who know Kung Fu and the ancient architecture etc.
No appetite for dinner. Home alone.
Old age + illness (discomfort) + poverty must kill. Loneliness kills, too.

angelina jolie
Very thick & sexy lips. That is why Brad Pitt has fallen for her? "Wanted". very sensational but not real, not logical, not credible.
Meg & I had some fried rice and then we saw the movie at AMC, PP. Perhaps, the leading character is the dream of many of us - to shout back to those who bully us, to beat up the wicked and doing all the impossible.
Good to have tmr a day off. I will be doing household chores.
Talked to Pam over the phone. She promised to pay the deposit for me first. I will send along the bankdraft afterwards. So wonderful to have her in Kent.

min is having a sore throat
Looking forward to greeting Min at the aiport this weekend. I advised her to drink some warm honey water. She stayed and did not go to Canterbury due to minor illness.
She has to struggle with establishing new connections in the summer term. Part of reality of life. New York trip in Feb 09 scheduled.
Yesterday was a rainy day. When will all these heavy downpours end? Pingpong and dinner at Porpor's home as usual.
We had lunch at Loong Yat Heen. Standard of food & services not so good as Dong Palace, Miramar Hotel.
Van & A came back to remove some of her stuffs. So good to have them around.
Tedious household chores. Luckily I can have one day holiday to fight with them.
Weather is not right for washing. May have to spend some money with the laundry.

s/d box in central
Feeling good.
Lunch with Van & A in Central. Shopping at Melbourne Plaza.
Raining the whole day.
Dinner with Porpor & Jeff. Bought a few books. Jeff got a cangjie input book.
Mike drove me home.
Min had her golden ballet shoes stolen. She was angry to find it out. But I told her to take the lesson learnt. The moral is that we have to keep safe custody of all valuables.

asiania & ICAC canteen
I am very people-oriented. Therefore, I enjoy good company.
Work or chat. Much energized by interesting & warm folks.
Free lunch. How enjoyable. Blah blah blah. Talking nonsense and laughters.
Tsinghua group for dinner. Sung & Deneb are awaiting confirmation of promotion. So smart guys. I like them. They said 5-day work is D Tsang's merit task. Hahaha!
Much stretched at work. Never mind, I have potentials to go a bit further. Better than idling at home and spending in the shopping arcade.
Ag thinks I am back to plain-looking. Wenxi also said I looked wonderful at the banquet. But I have not seen any videos or photos from the pro yet.
Nottingham is ready to reserve a seat for 09 rather than permitting a 4-weeks late start.

bid winston farewell
Retirement lunch for Winston. We met in 1974.
Dinner at Marga's place. Dolly has come back. I had no appetite eating alone. So my slimming plan should be easy. Just dine alone and will lose 20 lbs in due course.
UCH - nothing bad. But I had to wait there from 3:10 pm to 6 pm. Gone back to office since I left my mobile there. Can't do without the mobile. Loss of communication. Not many public phones can be found. 24 days before Nita will return.
Studying abroad is really a good training for independence, mixing with strangers and sinking into new culture. Min comforted me by saying that I should learn to enjoy to be alone. She said, "After all, it is nice to be alone sometimes." She keeps on encouraging me to weary trendy clothes, maintain a hairdo and make-up fresh. She is as usual cute.

No dumplings with superior soup, no suckling pig and no sago pudding.
Wait for mid-July when it will resume business in the old place.
No work this morning due to typhoon no 8 signal hoisted.

Make breakfast, do the washing ................. Life is very quiet at home.
Min is learning guitar from A Keeping.

how to arrange for the new pattern of life
How to be alone & happy?
Sleep more? Read more? Talk to friends? More mj games? Joining classes of interest?
Watch TV? Doing exercises? Plan for more trips? Join Bible class?
Min is thinking of what subject to puruse in U next year. Not easy. I am very very very much alone. Min is wonderful in making adjustments in UK. I might not be able to do the same.
Many are retiring one by one. ..................... Adjustment for me, too.
After Lorraine has returned, I will be even more lonely.
How could I face my own retirement? That may be the reason why some retirees even start to join the group of people they did not like before. Better than to be let alone. Man is afriad to be outgrouped.

The Wedding
The weather has been rainy all these days. Luckily, we had a cloudy and breezy day on June 15.
Had been busy during the week trying on all the dresses and choosing jewels to wear.
All my guests had attended. I was very very very happy. My sisters & friends said I looked great. I felt great, too.
It is so important an event. All the best wishes for the newly wed!

Pedder Building is a new place to shop around.
Endless tasks up to the last minute.
Ceremony at 10 pm.
Nita is so dedicated to serve everything. She really cares for Van.
Min helps out a great deal in music and burning CDs. Children always know things that their parents don't. She has 1 navy blue dress and 1 greyish purple dress. Grown up into a young lady with good taste.
It is raining heavily now.

Min on the plane
Reading "Barack Obama in his own words" edited by Lisa Rogak. The candidate speaks on everything from abortion to the middle east. He will probably be the first black President.
Min will arrive in the airport at 4:10 m. She has sms at about 2 am after check-in in Heathrow. Now I am quite used to her travelling by herself. So I had a good sleep last night. Unlike the first or second that she travelled alone that I was so restless and kept on phoning her.
Lorraine has some good news to me last night by her emails. However, I warn her for caution due my past nasty experience. We being straight-thinking and kind-hearted people sometimes do not exercise enough care for our own protection.
Porpor was able to buy some red strings for Van. So rare now these stuff for old traditions.
Looking forward to seeing Min this afternoon.
I want to see "Sex and the City".
Chu told me that their dragon boat ranked 28th out of 30 competitors. Anyway, it is fun and for me it is so great to be able to row a dragon boat. Mayee has prepared us some dumplings. Delicious.

A Fontane
Lunch at Tsui Hang Village, Miramar Shopping Arcade with Irene, Andrew & Van. Agreed that Irene & I will say some words of thanks to the guests, both in English & Chinese. Need some thought on it. Van had fittings on evening gowns. So beautiful.
Viola - a pink cardigan. See if Porpor would like it.
A Fontane blanket, fitted sheet & 2 pillow cases for Van - pale gold.
Lorraine, Jerry, Wenjun & Wenxi had dinner with their guest. Wenxi is very keen to come back to attend the wedding. Never been to one. He is a cheerful boy. I asked Lorraine to wear something like shocking pink. Too much of black on our head table.
Will have lunch with Mayee & Porpor.
