新春期間


基本上就是不停的跟同一班人到不同的家裡拜年
那也就是說不停的吃好東西 :-)

這個只是我爸隨便在廚房找到的東西弄出來的午餐:
鮑汁金菇鴨胸蝦子麵 :D



為了讓家裡多一點過年氣氛又不想花太多錢又有很多多餘的利是封
媽便讓我看了人家街上的有十秒的時間便叫我回家弄一個這個...


該是這個讓我這麼旺...
混一色大三風暗槓獨獨再加花和位一共六十八番!


一連見了三天的拜年團...


老爸因被騙 氣吞不下而自己準備的盆菜 O_O
蓋子一打開贏盡全場掌聲歡呼~



初三的那晚的特別嘉賓的出現讓一整桌的人笑翻了
一班認識了真的幾十年的朋友重聚話當年~
不知道幾十年後我身邊又還有誰呢?

初五便跟baby上大陸按了摩吃了羊和黃金大餅
過癮好吃的程度簡直無法形容
怎麼可以有那麼好吃的塊麵粉的呢?!

亦因為這幾天都吃太好的關係
咱們的加拿大遊客也得了留學生後群症 -- 腸胃炎
可憐的舅父病到樣子跟姑娘的兔兔一樣的呢


吃了兩天的白粥舅父的臉也瘦下來
這場病 病的蠻不錯吧 :D


新春的氣氛便隨著咱們的水仙的凋謝而離去

當舅父明天要離開 姐姐轉頭便又來
好快便又回澳洲了
時間怎麼好像過的那麼快的呢

Thank God for festivities that bring people together as the gathering of people is always a blessing.
I pray that more of these gatherings would be in hope and celebration for the future kingdom in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!

YAY i'm finally sort of up to date with this

the Canadian Big uncle came back from Sydney today

had dinner with him, grandma, small uncle... and his er... new girlfriend i guess :x

then went out to flower fair to feel~ the new year atmosphere, aka the crowd
was literally being pushed down the road....

mum got some 五代同堂 for HKD5 O_O which was very light
dad got some flowers for mama tomorrow for HKD15 which was still light
i got a pretty rabbit toy that has two cute buttons for HKD40 which was sort of light
and dad got some jasmine flowers for HKD68 which was getting heavy

and we decided that we fully got our money's worth cos they more we paid the more substance we got XD

my pretty rabbit toy that feels very smooth <3

ok it's 2:41am on CNY morning and i really should sleep

get ready for some red pocket time in a few hours time :D
OH YEAH~



HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR AGAIN YAY!
(lack of sleep crack)

I thank God for all the days He's given us on this world, and I pray that He would show his mercy and glory through my life witness so people around me would come to know Christ as their personal Saviour!

Pre-CNY days

such meaningless title but totally fruitful post

let the summaries continue~

Saturday 29th January, 2011
Congee breakfast then bauhaus factory outlet with johnson and his mum
yumcha-ed with some of his family
one of his cousin would be going around aust for a working holiday
so we sort of clicked cos i hear things from various other working holiday people and got excited <3

watched 新少林寺 with andy lau and nicholas tse and tiny bit of jacky chan and some other chinese fighting actor
...
once again... nothing very bad...
acting was quite impressive since it was andy lau and nich tse, nich tse makes quite a good evil guy btw :D
pretty shots pretty scenes... but it prob dragged on a little bit too long at various places to "show off" the acting skills for my liking
overall cliche plot that ran quite smoothly due to many years of refining a formula =P

then went home a little too late for tuen nin faan where all the elders of the family appeared in the house
where awesome food cannot be absent since my dad is around and also the newish uncle who is actually a professional cook who cut our baby pig so pro-ly.

Baby pig uncut

Crap & vermicilli (?) pot

Beef tongue & mushrooms

Poon Choy from uncle

the elders


Sunday 30th January, 2011
Jessica@HK day
a day as hongky as one can be

see pictures...
Classics at 金華
THE 菠蘿油
上樓cafe

Side note:

魏如萱 在哪裡 EP 入手
好貴
台幣幹嘛那麼貴 T_T

Monday 31st January, 2011
Highlight: Johnson's graduation from his AIA Apprenticeship where the speeches at the ceremony made me feel like the whole program is a cult =P

Real highlight: mum fully cooperating and called me to get me home so i can get out of their after party XDD
is sort of mean but i don't really feel like drinking with people i don't know at all =P

but i did wear my new super high heels and was super tall =P


Tuesday 1st February, 2011
I feel like Macau day deserves a whole entry to itself but cos it's late and its early CNY morning i think i would rather sleep...

so i'll just link some pictures... and fill in when i feel like haha





thanks Kenny for going to the new wharf that even he hasn't been to before, taking us around all day, and shouting us the lovely dinner!
thanks William for eventually picking up Kenny's call and joining us for dinner and giving us endless opportunities to laugh til i lost my breath~

such an awesome day.
so awesome.
<3

I thank God for this beautiful creation, and yet again for my brothers and sisters to share it with, even though this is only a temporary world. 
I pray that I would continue to appreciate this world, but more so long for the new creation to come, for it would be many many times better.

Catching up with my life

because i have been lazy and has been ordered to hang around my parents' bed more often before they go to sleep rather than going online on Ophelia in the living room...

i'm obviously very behind on blogging, so let's summarise once again


Saturday 23rd January, 2011
Met up with Valerie Rose at iSquare @ TST,
and was reminded that this girl doesn't need any physical or financial support,
but needs all the emotional support and love that one can give.
Must remember to give her more :-)



Also found out she doesn't particularly like Japanese food, or rather, any cuisine that's got a sweet twist to it, besides a proper dessert dish.
Must remember that also.



Sunday 24th January, 2011
Went to some old people's home with MK Baptist fellowship to supposedly clean their tiny little studio, or just a tiny room with a sink rather, but the old person we were supposed to find was super agile and didn't let us clean his stuff even though he's got dishes unwashed piled up in the sink.
He used to be a professional cook apparently~

No matter, we talked to him and he was happy for us to come visit him again.
Hope we can do that and not lie :-)


Monday 25th January, 2011
Began the day nice and early~ in preparation for one whole day of food and fun
only to find myself the only there on time T_T
In the end, cherry tong, dai big, cho and the late coming dikdik all got there..
But I swear no one besides donna qualifies to warn me not to be late no more =.=

So the first stop was the awesome dimsim that is at Sham Shui Po recommended by Osco Cho aka Michelin Food Guide XD

All the dim sim were generally quite awesome, but the must try would be the 蘿蔔糕 (carrot cake) and 叉燒包 (BBQ pork bun)
like OMG just looking at this photo makes me feel like eating it again.
and i shall wahaha 
when ang comes back :D:D:D:D:D


the next stop was K at mk where sai lo and some other ridiculously late and disorganised person finally joined us =P
sang for... about 5 hours i think...
started to run out of songs to sing O_o 

so we left for dinner and where we were joined by jeremy and johnson
the service at that hot pot place was horribly unprofessional, rude and disrespectful
the food was acceptably mediocre but was definitely overpriced 
overall pathetic impression of the place and will never set foot in there ever again
*is super unimpressed*

So this day began beautifully but ended not so cool-ly.
but overall still some awesome time catching up with old time brothers and sisters <3


Tuesday 26th January, 2011
Basically stayed at home all day
Got rejected by boyfriend for dinner cos he said he was too tired and too poor, 
but who went to play arcade games after his day of outing

sigh
so went out to have dinner with parents who left early for their theological lessons
and i had to finish my dinner in a restaurant alone sitting at a 4 seater.... 
is also unimpressed.

so got myself a ring to make myself feel better (lol)


Wednesday 27th January, 2011 
Music practice at Sham Shui Po... think that was the only thing i did that day
only time i left the house haha


Thursday 28th January, 2011
Financial meeting again with my personal financial planner/boyfriend at Starbucks@Gateway
left for some super overpriced wanton noodle and quite nice hongky street side cheung fun
walked around kowloon park aquatic centre and the park itself for fun :-)


Friday 29th January, 2011
mum on holiday again so got woken up by her voice telling me that we're going to yum cha with ah poh in like... less than an hours time =P
then walked further out to the local supermarket for cheap cat food then window shopped around with mum at jusco in preparation for the 5% off on the 2nd of Feb XD



okay that's one week done~
now on to this week...



---
I can never thank God enough for happy times with my blood family and my brothers and sisters in Christ,
I pray that everyone else around me can see and share this joy from being a child of God

留在家裡的日子

媽抱怨她的假期全都用來陪爸跟我做一些其實完全不用她陪的事情
譬如說 剪頭髮 買電話 買電腦 etc etc

爸很有智慧的解釋了給媽聽:
"我, 阿妹, 跟貓仔沒有媽在都不出家門, 甚至不會離開大家在家裡坐的位置
 我們很乖的!"

可是咱們還是被罵一頓
讓我發現了...我跟爸被罵的樣子大概一樣 XD

最後 我跟爸便決定等媽去上班的時候咱們兩父女才去剪頭髮
當爸在決定他要在外面染頭髮還是回家讓我染的時候

我: "你給我錢剪頭髮我幫你染吧"
爸: *被嚇到* "為什麼 O_O?! 我給你錢你不要剪好了!"
aiyor~ 沒有人要剪你的頭髮啦 :-)

頭髮剪了以後還是看不出有分別
但感覺上是少了很多頭髮~
那就好了吧


星期四那天配了厚厚的眼鏡
電話電腦都買不到
晚上便跟咱們雲迪吃煲仔飯 <3

對面搭訕的打機男生點子好低
咱們雲迪博士哪會看得上眼呢? 哇哈 XD

不過我還是覺得我總是把所有時間都在講我自己的東西
好在她還是好像一點都不介意的一直約我 哈

I cannot thank God enough for my family and friends in Christ, I pray that we'll be each others' encouragement in Christ until he returns.

失業了

剛收到消息
本姑娘要失業了

雖然可以花的錢會少了
但讀書看聖經的時間該會多一點吧
(真的做才好...)

不過 失業的第一天先拍了天拖 :-)
幹了些很是情侶會做的事
吃飯逛街看浪漫喜劇 "非誠勿擾II"

電影是好漂亮
角色描述得好真實好可愛
對話有笑點有感動點
他們自己跟互相之間的關係也是有成長的說
但就這樣吧
沒甚麼其他記得的...

One Republic 的新專輯在HMV賣HKD175!
那太誇張了吧?!

oh 不過買了睫毛夾 :D
還是被sales姐姐兩句便騙到買了貴的那一隻...
至少是比shiseido那個便宜吧~
看自己有多少心機去弄這個弄那個
你看 那眼線也沒在玩了吧
ai~

Thank God for a day, well more than a day now, of rest so I could study his words more closely and reflect on how my life can more closely reflect that of a Christ-follower.

Hong Kong Camp 2011

Meeting with God's people studying God's word is always the best times :-)

Too late and too exhausted from happiness and joy to write anything now, but might as well add,


I thank God that parents know Jesus as their God and Saviour, 
so that they know to rely on God when they are not sure of my safety when I'm away from them

Epic win

from last night, i successfully replaced ang in the photos on top of ah poh's tv
and this was epic win as i was never there since i ever remember

my second epic win was that i successfully washed the dishes at ah poh's place
and i bet you NO ONE else has ever done that with ah poh around


then today went second hand CD shopping at Wan Chai with Wendy <3
not without having this awesomely cheap lunch at 華星冰室


super thick toast with awesome fried egg is awesome.

Second hand CD shopping took basically the rest of the day.. and it was only within one building, 4 shops
result was insane.


i myself bought a total of six, four as above, another two in my second round there with Johnson
oo1; Faye Wong - some kind of best of
oo2; Coldplay - X & Y for HKD38
oo3; Kangta - some more best of
oo4; Stevie Wonder - some random album but it was for 5HKD so who cares what it is XD
oo5; Clazziquai Project - Mucho Punk for 38HKD
oo6; sound track from Long Vacation and Love Generation for 19HKD

and i thought that was SO CHEAP FOR SO MANY!!!

but no... that other girl...


"many of those i've been wanting to buy for a long time ga la~~~"
yes yes we believe you =P

after that i was taken around wan chai being a tourist by a macau-ian
and was forced to take tourist-y photos



then Johnson and i ran home for dinner with many people and babies and cats and it was great fun :-)
and we think sake doesn't make us drunk or red as much as red wine does

and i really need to sleep now cos there's church and the fellowship and then dinner with Royceanna and TYC tomorrow

YAY I LOVE FOCUS TIMES!


---
I thank God for giving us Sabbaths for us to rest from our busy worldly business.
I pray that I really would set this day apart, keeping it holy, and use the time to remember the Lord's grace.

Someone else's family day

visited Cherry Tong's church's high school fellowship (lol)
the four of us, Bonnie, Cherry Tong, Johnson and me, walked in "Celia" style
guess we didn't scare them as much as we thought

young girls scream a lot and at a really high pitch these days
they were quite friendly though
awesome cake eating style
unfortunately we're most prob too old to stay in that fellowship :x

then joined Johnson's family for random family mj gathering
learnt how to play china style mj
very fast and nervous and exciting O_O
won $70 for Johnson during his toilet break~ oh yeah
his family were all generally cute :D
i think his yee ma loves me already cos i think she's also a nurse and i'm an awesome nurse daughter XDDD


came back home with a bunch of mum and dad's classmates from theology school
after they left dad tried to cut the cats' (note position of apostrophe) nails
vikki went through totally fine cos he's awesome like that
but in attempt to catch dingding...




yea that was basically the main point of this blog.


---
I thank God for already giving me opportunities to serve at church in Hong Kong,
I pray that I will have a humble servant heart and so would willingly use the gifts that God has given me for the  edification of the church.

p.s. the anatomical position dingding's leg + foot disturbed me greatly :x

Day off

Yesterday i had my first weekday off since i started working last week...

began the day nice and early cos we're poor
early session is HKD55 instead of the HKD100 at night!!
the two of us saved HKD90 in total!!

before we walked in to watch Narnia: the Voyage of the Dawn Treader
we walked in and out of KFC failing to get portugese tarts for breakfast.

so we scrapped that and just walked into the cinema.
move was alright.
CGs still pretty, kids were... arguably less annoying than before, Prince Caspian still hot XD
but everything just seemed really rushed.
nothing in particular impressed me very much... just everything was quite pretty in general?
i feel like the movie didn't do the book justice even though i haven't read the book, hence i shall read the book... some time soon.
it is at least on my list of bedtime stories to read to my children when i have some XDDDD

then we walked into 信和 to both look for 2nd hand amei/faye or whatever CDs, as well as sell my signed Bosco EP T__________________T
after looking through the shop and failing to find the amei CD i wanted, i gathered all the courage i had in the little volume i have and asked the shop owner if i could sell my CD here.

he kindly asked, what have you got?
i reluctantly uttered, er... em... i've got... a... er... signed.... Bosc-
"no i don't want bosco"

T_____________________________________________T

i don't blame him, really i don't.


had lunch that was accompanied by HK style french toast (lol how does that work)
then went to wan chai for Johnson's briefing~ that went for 2 hours.
did not know wan chai, or at least that section of wan chai, literally has nothing to see :x
ended up sitting in a Pacific Coffee Company in the corner, ordered a latte in english and gave the girl at the counter a slight shock, received a large mug of bitter coffee with very thick and dense foam...
doesn't matter, i paid for the comfy couch and air-con, not for the coffee =P
*wishes i had better camera phone to take picture*

we took a dingding to Causeway Bay, because i don't like mtr-ing everywhere :-)
walked around some more, compulsively bought a beanie because johnson said i looked good in a beanie
and i've been wanting a long thin one that dangles at the back so i can wear when i get off the plane
thought it was reasonable price, so i tried on a few, decided on the one to get, and the sales lady told me a completely different price.
no she didn't lie to me.
she did tell me they had a price range.
i was just stupid enough not to ask...
oh well at least it's pretty


after steak dinner at Cafe de Coral (lol) we walked around some more in attempt to find dessert.
ended up spending the money on these cos Johnson really liked the grey dress, (i sound like i'm blaming him for all my purchases but no i thought they were really pretty as well) and they were 170 for one, 300 for two!
I'm justified right?! yes i am =P
i said i'll buy less in america.
i will.
really.



On my only day off, i was stupid enough to walk my little legs off again.
so we planned a day of MJ at home tomorrow waha

Repetitively materialistic days like these make it so hard to live the Christian life and so easy to forget God's grace.

---

I thank God for all the brothers and sisters in Christ He has given me in this life to remind me to look forward to my future eternal home, and that this place, is not my home.
I pray that this believe could be seen in the way I'm living now.

開心上班去

這幾天在病房上班
雖然忙的時間累很多
但也多了很多跟同事門聊天的時候

一支支新鮮的血拿在手上 暖暖的 感覺有點奇怪 有點恐怖

但Benny說 不
恐怖的排行榜...是

oo2; 暖的小便
oo3; 才到暖的血
便派早餐去了...


午餐後當 Evelyn 買電去的時候
媽便忙著約明天的麻將局

我說

媽說
當然! 要不然上班的時候organise嗎?!

過了一會兒 媽再說
上班的時候是用來or~ 屎的 XD

sigh my mum.

I thank God for providing me with a wonderful temporary work environment,
and for a hilarious mum who most of the time communicates well with me.
