Little things in daily life

Don’t know why, my ideas about blogging seem drying out. I guess it is because I feel happy with my life, and have much less grumbling and babbling I want to force my reader to listen to, or I think it is not worth to waste time to repeat something I am irritated to in written format.

On top of this, every day after work, I spent all of my time with my two adorable angels (or I should say when I go online, they are happy to join me and even take lead of what they would like to watch in the internet, which leave me only a few minutes to stay in front of the computer alone to check facebook or email).

However, I think it would be a good idea if I can share some little interesting things I find/ I experience in my diary life here on and off. I would post photos of something which I think interesting and post here.

I do something similar in facebook, currently I created an album called “My little closet”. It would be great to set up a “My little closet” here with detailed narrations. Hope you will love it too!

Let’s start from the next entry!!

Be my Valentine


This is the Valentine's Day gift I sent to Jeff this year, it is a handicraft by Margit Denz, an Austrian artist. She had made millions of Denz hearts in past few years, which exhibited and sold across many countries. The one you saw in this picture is one of the Valentine's day series she made this year.
Seems Jeff loves this gift a lot. hehe...

Good health

Mom in law was in hospital early this week, thanks god she is fine now and we are all relieved.

This experience made me re-think the meaning of family. Sometimes we take people around us for granted, especially our parents. They treated us so good and we assumed their love is unlimited, just like air around us, we get too used to it.

Especially in our age, we would rather spend much time on work and on social life (I was also like this before I got married). Family is always in a lower priority. It is because, we believe, our mom and dad will always greet us when we open the door of our home….

When I heard the news that Mom in law was sent to the hospital, I was totally shocked, there were too many uncertainties, tears rolled on my face immediately. Thanks god that Mom was totally fine since the afternoon of the same day and discharged from the hospital on Wednesday. God did listen to our prayer.

Life is very fragile but at the same time it can be very tough and strong. Mom in law is a very strong and positive person.

I want to send my blessing to my parents in law and also my parents. I wish you all enjoy every minute of your life, we would be good kids and love you more and more day after day.

Manki is recovering

After the two weeks torture, I am now recovering, despite the endless cough and sweating which still happen every night.

Now I understand why good health is mostly important, you cannot do anything without a healthy body.

I took many days of sick leave in last two weeks. I lied on my bed, was worried about my jobs, then the two babies went sick also, then was worried about everything...

I want to stop all these, I do not want to take sick leave again. In all these years I did not really know how to take care of myself. I still do not believe those craps about "my body is a temple blah blah blah", but I should build up myself again.

Good diet and regular exercise are my goals!

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!!!

sEA uRCHIN aND fOOD pOISONINg

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?
