i can choose
to ignore to anticipate to adjust to detach to accept to tolerate to relax to be happy to be angry to be indifferent ..............to enjoy to forget to remember to learn to unlearn
i have entertined my guests in style
I have bought a tea set for 6 and a dining set for 4 of the same pattern - Dynasty bone china - with orange orchids & butterflies. Stainless steel cutlery. All of us were so pleased, including Nita. So much excitement & fun, like children playing new toys.
We had mj on the new table. Christina brought along 3 cheese cakes - 1 big to be shared and 2 for kingsui & Helen to bring home.
I have seen the documentary about "The King's Speech". Even the King was but a man with limitations and challenges that he feared to face. Everybody has a cross to carry.
We are old friends who accept each other as we are. No more no less. Need not change and we cannot if we had wished to. Yes, love me as what I am.

an adorable brave little girl
I am so touched seeing her going to school, wearing school uniform, carrying a school bag and obeying the teachers' guidance, waiving her tiny hand to bid good-bye. No more crying ...........
She uses her fingers to indicate the shape of a triangle. She can sing "London Bridge is Falling Down" and "I am a big Apple". She likes the stories about Clifford.
No cause to complain despite all the ups and downs in life.

Moses Pendleton
Pendleton has been one of America's most innovative and widely performed choreographers and directors for over 40 years.
Unique lighting and simple props. Magically expand the movement potential of the human body. They dance not only as humans but as birds, flowers or parts of a lizard, creating optical illusions and optical confusions.
They strive to energizse, inspire and leave a lightness in the step of the audience. Done.
Had dinner with Phoebe at Thai Basil. She is a very good companion for the arts programmes.

salad for lunch & banana cake after dinner
I had half a bacon salad at Pizza Express next to PP3 for lunch.
The banana cakes that Van made for us as dessert were really yummy. Anise liked it so much.
Sweetie sleep. That eases all my worries for the day.
Talked to Min just now. She is busy all over. Wish she would treasure such amazing times in life.

What Constitutes Success
Bessie Stanley
"He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who has left the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had; whose life was an inspiration; whose memory a benediction."
