About mid-age

If you couldn't help but scream when you lost your spectacles, but it actually sits nicely next to you, that means you reach the middle age, or you are not far away from it…..

颱風

韋森特走後，街道滿目蒼痍。屋苑內外皆有倒樹。碰到屋苑的園丁，冒著不小的雨周圍巡視。「你沒有傘，我遮你，好嗎？」我問。他笑說：「不用，我們淋慣的。」說完便走去拾樹枝。真要多謝在颱風時和颱風後為香港服務的人。（還有，男士們請勿有樣學樣，決定下雨不撐傘時，要顧及自己的年紀和身體狀況。）

Reading

I love to read with my children.  To me reading is simply enjoyable.  The world is so enormous, reading is the easiest and cheapest way to travel around it.


Had borrowed a book about Estonia, I found it at the children section of the public library.  I was planning to read it with kids, but I couldn't wait and finished a whole book a night.


Estonia was independent only since the 90s, it is a captivating country, with history intertwined strongly with Russia yet still preserves its own culture.  A beautiful place with a large portion of natural landscape.  I wish I can go there some days.


And that little book will be the kids' bed time reading in the coming nights. 

Dear Mr. Spider 2

Dear Mr. Spider 2,

I found you outside my window in an extremely hot day.  I wish I could communicate with you, then I could warn you a typhoon is approaching Hong Kong.  I could suggest you to give up your big fat moth feast, grab your web and run without turning your head back.

Everything is too late, a Level 8 typhoon had swiped across here last night.  When I looked out, you were not there, I guess you had been wiped away effortlessly.

That's really bad....

炒飯

今晚跟奶奶慶祝生日，謝菲跟我一起炒飯。

謝菲從旁指導，我炒呀呀，汗開始流，妝開始溶，但人越炒越起勁。


飯要炒得好，先決條件是有體能，以及要有氣勢。對住那一大窩的飯，絕不能怯！

看我多有氣勢？Hohohohoho!!

A quiet quarter

Haven't received jobs since April, had also rejected a project because the price offered by an agency was ridiculously low.  The only works I had done were simply replying quotations and shot back a polite but nasty email to that unreasonable supplier.

Felt a bit insecure in the first two no-job months but now get used to it.  And guess what?  I feel great to be with my boys.  They are very demanding and sometimes just drive me to pull my hair, but it is also invaluable to witness how they grow, in both good or mischievous ways.

When I am exhausted and wanted to escape, I always remind myself how desperate I wanted to hug my babies and spent time with them when I was a working mom.  How dreadful the feeling was when the boys were not feeling well, but what I could do was to stick my ass on the seat in the office.  How regret I felt when my tired hubby drove all the way from N.T. to town to pick me up after work.

My life is getting better and better, I should remember that.

豐子愷的《狹路》

今天在豐陳寶和豐一吟所編的《爸爸的畫 1》中讀過這兩頁。讀後覺得很心酸。我們的社會不但沒有朝過豐子愷先生所希望的方向走，反而是向著相反方向大踏步去。。。
