Sickness, please leave me alone

Gone the food poisoning, come the sore throat....

I was almost passed out in the MTR yesterday when I commuted back to work.... I was not able to breathe in the cabin and keeping my head down, I sweat a lot and could not stand firm. Luckily there was a seat when the train reached Quarry Bay and then I sat there and breathed heavily.

Other passengers just stared at me and no one offered help. Well this was normal as here is Hong Kong.

I take another leave today, I promise to myself, I should be healthy and work hard next week!!!

I was wondering if my stomach can function normally again....
I was wondering if my non-stop high fever will make me blind or deaf... or even mentally retarded...
I was wondering how come there is water in front of my eyes until Jeff grabbed me out from the toilet bowl when I had my last vomit...

Yes, I had food poisoning, I swear that problemed restaurant, which almost took my life.... I had two adorable babies and a handsome hubby, I can't leave them alone...

And, I should listen to my doctor's advice, never touch raw food again...

Thanks god, after four days, I am still alive, just losing many pound and my chest downgraded one cup size. Wakakakkaka.

Moleskine Notebook

I am using Moleskine date book this year. Thanks to the economic downturn and our most important bank client had no longer sent us free organizers with their logo.

Anyway, the Moleskine date book I am using is so far so good. I am using the weekly planner type because I can jot down my job list everyday there. There is a also blank page next to the weekly planner for me to write silly things.

There are some more uniqueness of this organizer :

• Historical background – Many greatest people, such as Picasso and Van Gogh were using Moleskine. I hope my name would be added in this "lengendary user list".
• Good quality - Not sure if man-made = good quality (many things made in China are by hands, but in extremely bad quality, even fake), but my note book is pretty good. The paper is smooth and I love its yellowish, rustic tone.
• Good looking - I love its stylish black leather-like cover, it is also slim, as a whole year weekly datebook plus many pages of basic information such as time zones", "international holiday" etc., and extra pages for notes and annual planning.
• The first page - it is the most interesting page, it states:"In case of loss, please return to:__________ As a reward: $__________ (of course I have not filled in this page).

Okay, this organizer cost HK198, it is quite worth for value, as you can use it 365 days. Isn't it?

Make new friends

We met Auntie Betty and her children last Saturday in a morning “Yum Cha”. Her three children are in the school winter break, they came to Hong Kong from Canada to have a reunion with their mom.
They are one young woman and two young men in their middle to late twenty. This is the last school year to all from them, the boys are studying economics, and the girl is a Phd student of Nerve science. Cool!!

Jeff and I went out with them at late night for drinks in Knutford Terrace. We chatted a lot. They are quite different with people I meet everyday. They are very cheerful, sincere and appreciative, less criticizing, and take all the chances to learn and to experience humbly. The girl kept saying she respects Hongkongeses a lot as we work very hard, even she experiences cultural shock here (for example, people just stand very close with each other when they line up, and rush everywhere), she still think Hong Kong is an amazing and dynamic place.

The greatest discovery that night is I found three discovery channel freaks who speak the same language of mine. That was a very great night. I would love to visit Canada one day!

Blogging in MTR

Guess what? I am typing this entry in the MTR, which actually hurts my sore long sighted eye when tabbing the mini size keyboard, but it is really fun.

Next time if you find a dumb girl burying her head to her handy it may be me wakaka.

The pudding old couple

Jeff and I went to Central last Friday, we took a day leave after the New Year day.

There were the very very old couple selling pudding around the street corner. It was a cold day but they still worked very hard, they made every single coin by their bare hands. When there was no customers, they just stood still there, around 20 minutes, the old gentleman walked aside and sat on the staircase. He returned once there were more people buying the puddings.

I bought a pudding from them, I wanted to say happy new year to them, but I gave up, because I felt old people don't like receiving greeting from a stranger on the street.

Anyway, I want to say happy new year and salute to you two here! Wish you guys having great business. By the way, your stroller looks fab.

I had made cookies

Happy New Year!! Wish your 2009 as sweet as cookies!!
