it's gettingg hot out there~

The weather here has been crazy. Last friday/saturday it was freaking cold, then yesterday it was 30∘C!!! The humidity index was 34∘C! Something's wrong with this world... Global warming is a big problem. If we are experiencing such drastic changes in temperature at this time, imagine what it will be like 100 years from now. Probably 100 times crazier. Went shopping yesterday, picked up some shirts from bluenotes. They have this theme going on right now, about supporting the environment and keep it green. So i got both ming and i one shirt. Don't know if any of these shirts' profit is going anywhere tho, oh well, at least the shirts look nice.

Wedding matter

So the wedding guest list has been growing at an unexpected rate. Originally we thought it was going to be a small wedding, like 50-60 people, now the confirmed number is 70 with 20 possible/maybe coming. Holy... my friends, it will be a really "close" dinner for you. Everyone will know each other very well at the end of it. ~.^ All thanks to ming's "surprise, i have more friends that you know of!" There will be no space for dancing, which is fine (I think). So people, just eat and drink up, coz there will be nothing else to do! Wahaha...

Nash is the best.

So both of my favorite NBA teams are eliminated from the playoff.
I need to look for a new team to root for now.
Ming will probably say to me "you're so not loyal to your team!"
But i think no matter what happens to my favorite teams, the playoff has to go on and i might as well pick a side, or there is no fun watching the games.
BTW, the bruise on Nash's leg is really something. The scar on his nose is still there. He got beat up so bad in this series and got no justice served. Ahy~

My life is pathetic. It is 11:50pm and I am surving on the internet aimlessly and refuse to go to bed. There isn't even any websites that I want to visit or anyone that I can chat with. I just sit infront of the computer, feeling my aching left shoulder due to prolonged sitting at the desk and typing. How pathetic~

今天的水果

草莓+
巧克力(過期的瑞士巧克力^.~)

More like a dessert.

小時候的培根三明治

今天開始scan小時候的照片, 勾起了很多回億。 看著爸爸當時對我有多疼愛,還看到媽媽對著我笑的表情彷彿和現在mel & chloe 的interaction一模一樣。　小時候我是每天由爸爸送上學，從幼稚園到國中，因為每天都睡得很晚．還記得爸爸有用過車子，摩托車，腳踏車載我。不只有我，還有我兩個姊姊。　很多年爸爸是先載我姊去回來再載我去上課因為我們上課時間不同，也想讓我多睡一會。　載完了女兒去上課，爸爸就回去開診所。　現在想起來覺得爸爸真是個dedicated person。　當然還有辛苦的媽媽也要早起幫我們整理和做我不吃的早餐。 記得有一次我和爸爸說我想明天早上買美而美的一個叫＂培根三明治＂因為今天看到同學在吃．爸爸說好，為了讓我這個營養不良的小孩，雖然小時候家裡經濟還不是很好，通常都是家裡自備早餐。隔天爸爸騎著腳踏車帶我到路線會經過的美而美，點了那很貴的培根三明治（好像是＄３５，當時算很貴了，早餐而已）。 不知道為什麼那天等了很久，都快遲到了。 爸爸覺得很奇怪為什麼那麼久也一直著急。 等到終於好了我快快跳上車爸爸快馬加鞭的騎去學校。 我那天其實對爸爸很不好意思。 雖然那培根三明治還真的蠻好吃的，不過因為速度太慢和太貴，那也變成我唯一的一次在外面買早餐。 為了記念那經驗，我今天就做了培根三明治。 還是像那第一次的好吃。 謝謝爸爸戴我去買培根三明治，我永遠會記得那經驗的。

Went on some crazy shoe shopping spree... 我的戰力品... ^o^

2 weeks recap

so i stayed home for almost a week last week. i was home all day sunday waiting for our couch to arrive, then we went out for dinner. after dinner, i did not leave the house (except one late night drive through to MacDonald's on Wednesday, but i still didn't go outside coz i went straight from house to car then back) till Friday 6pm!!! What did i do for those 5 days? I was recuperating from the cold and finishing my final 2 papers. I finished writing by Thursday night. Then i spent the weekend playing. When ming finished proof reading my papers, it was this Monday already and i wanted to hand it in the following day when i go to class. But we had a weird weather on Monday, some extreme wind, rain, thunderstorm, and power went out in our town! I thought the power was gonna come back in an hour or so, but it was out for over 5 hours! I couldn't finish my papers until the power came back, ppfff... good thing the power came back around 11pm, and i was able to finish fixing my papers before i went to bed. The traffic that day was crazy, all the traffic lights were out, and many stores had no power. The wind was insane.
So i handed in the papers on Tuesday, and started my summer course the same day. I did not get any break at all, which sucked. So after class, i went and bought 2 pairs of shoes to relieve my frustration, and since i worked yesterday, i went to buy another pair today! Hahaha.... i have a problem. Hey, one of them was my wedding shoes, so it doesn't count. So that's my plain and "eventful" 2 weeks recap. Oh, just thought i will add this, we ate in everyday, except weekend, and the day that power went out (i was actually gonna cook that night, i washed and cut all the food already, but couldn't cook them coz we use electric stove), and yesterday coz i worked and ming bought dinner. I am finding eating in very relaxing and more healthy, but i still don't like cooking or doing all the dishes all the time.

臘腸飯

今天看到什麼小米筒的website, 看到她做的臘腸飯，覺得我的original recepie被偷了。 所以我決定來做我自己的website on 臘腸飯。
準被要做時才發現，darn, 家裡已經有作天剩下的白飯ne,而且冰箱還有不知到放了多久的稀飯（應該還不算久因為是我生病時煮的，現在還在病），所以不想再煮新的飯。 不過我不會讓這小插曲影響我要做的決心，所以我improvise, 把它變成炒飯。eh, don't worry, it is just as easy as my original 臘腸飯。把蒜頭，芹菜，青江菜，臘腸切成小小段，越小越好。熱鍋，油, 把蒜炒香，加入臘腸， (look closely, 臘腸看起來有點像小梅花)炒到臘腸半熟時把飯倒進去炒到even, 再加入兩樣青菜。(Cindy會說菜好像太多了，don't worry, it's not.
等到菜熟時就好啦！ 可以加些甜醬油 before completion to add to taste (Jamie會說no, no, no!). 在此我也要給讀者一個見意（小米筒說什麼用培根來代替臘腸，我覺得太油啦）如過沒有臘腸可用“香腸“代替。 ~.^
成果：感想：
１．煮飯就煮飯還要照相，真累。而且還要用很多unnecessary的碗，i'm all about efficiency, man.
2． 還不難吃。
３．因該不會再做下一個entry on cooking了。因為打中文太累啦。
４．小米筒真強，i give it to you.

i'm wishing for a white summer

So we finally got our new sofa! After 8 months of waiting, or quoting my good friend jamie's verse "懷胎十月也不過如此".... Yeah, it's been a tough process. Ever since the 1st store that went bankrupt, i have started to doubt any service that requires a "deposit." Unfortunately all the services that we are having for our wedding REQUIRE deposits! Like the reception place, my gown, the photographer (~50% of the total price), the cake, invitations (full amount), and flowers.

Thankfully our friends came over to help move the old couch down the basement. Even the professionals who delievered the new ones told us to just forget it, that it wouldn't get through the stairway. Those delievery men were odd. They were in suits, shiny dress shoes, and at the end when ming was nice enough to give them tips, the guy said "5 dollars only?!" Hey, $5 per person and they were here for less than 30 min, that's some easy money! Consider the fact they ripped us off from the delievery fee, giving them tips was generous.
Anyways... the sofas are just fab. Ming keeps asking me if it's okay to sit on it, or sit on it a certain way. :P To me, they are just sofa. Great looking sofa that happen to be comfortable, so i will enjoy them very much~
Now we have these fab sofas, we feel like totally fixing up the room, which means more $$$ spending. Nah... i don't think so.
Since we are still trying to pay off the sofa.

Ahhhh~~

I had a scary dream last night.
The day of my wedding, haven't bought my shoes, the flower girl's basket, ring pillow, so i was running around in a complex with some stores looking for things, coz the stores were about to close!
Then when i saw all the bridesmaids were walking down the aile, i wasn't even dressed in my gown, nor are my make-up and hair done!
When all was finished, ming asked me what i thought of the wedding, i broke down in tears and said "everything was wrong, nothing was perfect like i wanted it..."
Many more things went wrong, but i can't remember today now.
pphfff... good ting it was just a dream.

*If only life could be this way everyday*

After a 2 weeks of stressful life, i decided to give myself a treat today (well, actually started yesterday coz i went out shopping).
Today's morning class was another $*%@)&%(+# lecture. "We do not speak the language, language speaks us." It takes a thinker to say this kinda crap. I have had to endure this kinda talk for over 3 months now. Treated myself to a nice starbucks coffee after that class (i usually go with Tim's coz it's cheap). The afternoon class was a treat too, coz it was nice and relax (coz i didn't have to present!) Then i handed in my 15 page paper, pwhff, what a relief. That's the end of this course. Doesn't matter what i get on this paper, it's too late to think about that now. So after class, i decided to visit the downtown core, an underground place that i discovered last week, which had sooo many cute little stores. Bought some stuff for friends and myself, then i treated myself (again) to a JugoJuice, a juice that was too big for me to finish (that is when i miss ming ~.^) Ahhh.... what a nice day (except it rained and i didn't have my umbrella)!!!

今天滿腦都是D.T.的歌.
i just found out this thing, wikipedia on David Tao!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Tao
There's also one for Jay and Lee Hom!

D.T. was in the house!

今天去看了David Tao的演唱會. 還不賴!!! 他真得很會唱. 粉絲們也很坄入.

回家路上開車經過一個房子看到有一群不太像警察, 但全身武裝, 防彈衣, 帽子, 槍, 按住一個人, 然後闖入那房子. 朋友就快速通過. What a night!

阿拉丁的飛毛毯到了！
All the way from Turkey.
Thanks guys, i love it.
什麼時後神燈會到哩?

something i thought about when i couldn't sleep the other night....

i flipped and turned for >4 hrs in bed,
and this is what came to mind...
有時間睡是一種享受，
睡的著是一種幸福； ＃.＃
有機會學習，寫作業是一種享受，
寫的出作業是一種幸福 ＞.＜
吃是一種享受，
可以感覺到餓是一種幸福；
能說話是一種享受，
說的出有識慧得話是一種幸福；
玩是一種享受，
玩的勁性是一種幸福；
有朋友是一種享受，
有知心的朋友是一種幸福；
寫blog是一種享受，
有人care to read my blog是一種幸福；

人想要享受很簡單，想要得到幸福卻不容易。
你還能想到有什麼更多的examples ne?

無解

To my dear friend:
今天我把妳blogger所有的 posts重讀了一次，從去年二月到現在．．．想知道我到底什麼時後失去了妳。
我想念從前的妳。 什麼時後妳才會 “回到過去“ 的妳？ 也許never．．．you mentioned 周杰倫得這首歌 in one of your blogs. this is why i love you, coz you love Jay too. :)
不管我在這寫什麼糊言亂語，妳也不會知道，因為妳也不念我的blog no more.
哎, am i responsible for any of this?
