緣起緣滅

跟一位友人鬧翻了。不過我深信日後回看, 大家都會得啖笑。

緣起緣滅, 有緣的自會冰釋前嫌。

買衫記

在屋企附近的小Boutique執到好嘢, 一條 Columbia褲只售$20, 抵到爛!

又話說老豆為我看中一件大衣, 著我試身。兩老看後頻呼「好cute好cute」, 不禁有點啼笑皆非, 心諗「我都一把年紀啦,你估我係老萊子咩...囧」

好在件大衣款式 Classic, 我諗我都仲 Carry到, 否則任兩老點讚我都唔會買!

(又: 有人讚都唔高興, 我有時都覺得自己好L煩)

榮升三姑

大哥家裡添了個BB女, 我榮升三姑啦！

(未經BB父母同意, 不可 Upload BB相...不過我都係得一張0甘大把。 BB老豆快0的影0的相俾大家睇啦 :)

Feb 11: Family Reunion

It was at least two years since the entire family sat around the same table and enjoyed a meal together. Though the time is short but it was really "quality time" spent.

Hopefully my new job will work out well so that I can afford to spend some vacation days to visit my brothers more often.

萬般帶不走 唯有 Pod 隨身

Christmas gift from 亞 Ra...I'm lovin' it!

Thank you brother!

阿四

A couple of days ago, I received an internal job posting email from my friend 阿四 who knew I'm looking for a job. This is the song playing in my head when I open up the email:

"人生有真正朋友的確好極!"

It is nice to know your friends care about you :)

Trip to Wineries

My family just had the annual trip to the Niagara-on-the-Lake wineries this Saturday and it sucked.

First of all the weather was bad, there was no sun, just thick black clouds. Second, we spent most of the time in Scotland looking for the Gingsen Farm we visited last year. I gave one wrong map direction and from this point on, Dad snatched the map from my hands for any slightest doubt in directions. This is suppose to be a relaxing trip for crying out loud, why everything in his life have to become a mission of some kind?

Then came the final straw. Dad was a road warrior and I can tolerate that for short trips in the local, but a 2-hour drive is too much to bear. Why the heck is he driving at 120 km/h at a 60km/h zone? Tailgating any car in front of him? What's the rush? By the time I reach home I had a pounding headache and a sick stomach.

I think this would be the last time I'm going to any out of town trip with my parents.

Father's Day + Mama's B-Day

We didn't do anything special on Father's Day this year since both Dad and I were busy working on our own weekend projects.

Dad's project: Fixing up a metal rack for his orchids -> 80% done
My project: Repair the CD-ROM drive on the family desktop -> mission accomplished!

All three of us went to a Japanese restaurant to celebrate the Father Day/Mama B-Day. The food was delicious, the Zaru Soba (cold buckwheat noodle) was outstanding. I wish I had more room to try their spider roll, maybe will try it next time.

Dad bought a chocolate mango mousse for Mom. The cake looked pretty good, but I should have take a photo of it last night, so now I don't have a pic to show you :P

In Memory of Mr. Rabbit

I have never expected that my blog would start off with a sad note. Mr. Rabbit (aka "Ah Bad"), our family's 12-year old rabbit, passed away on Sunday.

Originally I planned to bring Mr. Rabbit to the vet this weekend, so I called the vet office on Sat morning only to find out that Dr. Alkesh, the rabbit expert, won't be back to the office til Tuesday...too bad Ah Bad didn't made it.

He had long been considered a family member but I didn't fully realize how much he had became part of my daily live until he's gone. For example, I am so used to peeking at his cage whenever I pass the laundry room that I'm even doing it after he's gone. Soon after catching myself doing this, I cleaned up his cage and stored it away in the basement. Hopefully this will help me and my parents to cope with the lost. For sure it hurts to stare at the empty cage...

A big thank you to Czar's mom, Olivia and Randy, who drove me to the vet on Sunday, for sure I was in no condition to drive that day.

A comforting thought is that he did have his favourite sneak a few hours before his "departure".

I also like Schola's idea that "Ah Bad is probably happily munching Shreddies in another world".
