Some funny quotes about ... children!

2007-10-30T16:47:00.001-07:00

You spend the first two years of their life teaching your children to walk and talk. Then you spend the next sixteen telling them to sit down and shut up.

Grandchildren are God's reward for not killing your own children

Mothers of teens now know why some animals eat their young.
===

but the most important of all....

ADVICE FOR THE DAY: Be nice to your kids. They will choose your nursing home one day.

嚇死人咩

2007-10-28T20:49:00.000-07:00

今晚食完飯開門入屋嗰時，爸爸突然指住廚房隻窗話：「點解入面着火呀？」
望一望先知佢係問：「點解入面着咗燈呀？」

真係少d心血都俾佢嚇死。

三年...

2007-08-15T21:17:00.000-07:00

去咗bainbridge island 逛逛... 冇特別嘅計劃... 為嘅只有想嘅繁忙中好好享受這一日。平靜又輕鬏。

第一條白髮...

2007-08-10T09:36:00.000-07:00

一定係最近太用腦...

新look嘅yard...

2007-07-29T18:36:00.000-07:00

亦令我哋認識到一對鄰居。

因為冇咗幾棵樹嘅阻擋，我哋喺yard會見到斜後面間屋嘅yard。我哋發現佢哋係一對講國語嘅公公婆婆，佢哋又發現我哋講廣東話。於是婆婆就爬喺佢個fence度同我哋傾計。

佢個係由黑龍江嚟... 最後仲送咗d佢自己煮嘅蔥油餅俾我哋tim! (運送方法: alex 伸個泥鏟過去，婆婆就將d蔥油餅放上去喇！)

個yard冇咗幾棵樹...

2007-07-28T19:48:00.000-07:00

完全唔同哂！依家突然大咗、spacious 咗！

值得！值得！

從香港打嚟嘅電話廣告...

2007-07-18T18:43:00.000-07:00

尋晚電話響，caller id 係unavailable - 心諗一定係電話廣告啦！但我絕對估唔到係從香港打嚟嘅...

他: this is a long distance call from hong kong XXXXX. is there anyone who speaks cantonese?
我: (明知係廣告，當然答...) who are you looking for?
他: this is a long distance call from hong kong XXXXX. is there anyone who speaks cantonese? i do not speak english.
我: 請問你揾邊位?
他: (開始廣告) 我哋係xx電話，想介紹一個打番香港嘅長途電話服務...
我: 唔好意思，不過我冇興趣... bye-bye
他: (顎然?!) 哦! 唔該哂! bye-bye!

hm... 唔知點解佢咁顎然?! 聽落佢好似係新仔?!

其實買咗佢好耐，不過到今日先同佢影相！

有趣嘅mr lee

2007-07-14T18:12:00.000-07:00

今日mr lee (gardener) 嚟咗報價。當佢知道我係香港人，就講多咗好多嘢。其中有一個好特別又有趣嘅睇法！

佢話生summer baby好過winter baby, 因為有兩個好重要嘅原因：
1. 第時搞生日party可以喺户外搞，請幾多人都夠大；
2. bb初頭一出世成日要換尿片，夏天bb著少d衫，換片就快d又容易d。

有理有理...

2007-07-05T21:48:00.000-07:00

尋日 july fourth 老公諗住自己少有唔駛開工，於是興致勃勃提議一連串嘅節目。

結果: 去完seattle center 同 scuplture park, 加埋車程都未離開屋企多過三個鐘，我哋都已經攰到成隻死狗噤 -- 要番屋企休息。

仲可以唔認老咩？

我喺左左人

2007-06-29T10:57:00.000-07:00

1. 像祈禱一般,將雙手交握起來，看看你的雙手：
左手拇指被押在右手拇指下的—–>左人
右手拇指被押在左手拇指下的—–>右人

2. 將你的雙手交叉環在胸前，看看你的雙手：
右手臂壓住左手臂的—–>左人
左手臂壓住右手臂的—–>右人

照1→2順序來看你的結果~

右左人：善於體貼他人的傳統溫婉類型。能直覺了解對方的心情，並自然和善對應。雖然無法主動積極向前，但卻會後退一步來遷就人；生性穩重且貼心，給人一股‘凡事都會好好照顧’的安心感。不過一旦被拜託過一次，往後就很難再對人說NO。這就是右左人最大的缺點：不管自己有多麼的痛苦也會為他人鞠躬盡瘁…這種熱情堪稱天下第一！

右右人：最愛自己的挑戰類型。生性勇往直前，一旦認定‘就是這個’時就會馬上採取行動！右右人是好奇心旺盛且最愛挑戰的：憑著一股氣勢就能夠坦然挑戰危險事物的魯莽一族。但亦具有被抓住弱點時就很容易被打動的脆弱一面。基本上，不聽他人的話，會跳著聽談話的內容，也很容易以主觀意識說話。不過也因這般充滿個性的緣故而備受眾人喜愛，往往能成為人氣者唷！

左左人：認真又冷酷的完美主義者。凡事都能條理分明的理論性思考，能憑著一篇大道理迅速打敗別人，可說相當有‘鋼鐵之女’的感覺。自尊心極高，正義感也比他人多上一倍。做為朋友是很值得信賴，但若與之為敵就會變成很棘手的類型。只不過，因生性認真又是完美主義者，常會讓初次見面的人留下‘難以相處’的不好印象。

左右人：喜歡照顧人的領導型。具有冷靜的觀察力，能看透對方或現場的氣氛，但亦具有能體貼入微照顧對方的一面，這就是兼具冷靜與溫情的左右人。因生性冷靜，且責任感強烈，常會受到同性異性的尊敬愛慕。能自然聚集人群並與之俐落相處。只不過，有時也會忍不住太愛照顧他人。相當在意世人如何看待自己，總是保持警覺心。

你有幾老餅?

妙語

2007-06-16T20:44:00.000-07:00

話說有日同七姨、七姨丈食飯，我同七姨丈講:「七姨話我大隻咗好多呀！」七姨丈就話:「大隻唔緊要，最緊要唔好大聲！」

麥當勞比 keybank 慷慨 ...

2007-05-16T20:45:00.000-07:00

今朝喺麥當勞買早餐，點知佢哋個system 壞咗。所以佢哋早餐照煮，不過就唔收錢! 免費早餐...

跟住我咪揸過對面嘅 keybank，諗住攞d錢。點知佢哋個system 都壞咗，冇錢攞!

心諗... 如果keybank 有麥當勞嘅慷慨, 你話幾好呢!

啄木鳥 - 結局

2007-05-15T20:35:00.000-07:00

啄木鳥終於唔再啄我哋屋企喇!

不過佢去咗啄隔籬屋... 我見到大大小小有六、七個hole 。 Opps... 犧牲咗鄰居 tim...

2007-04-28T15:22:00.000-07:00

有乜好辦法?

依家喺campus揸車真係好危險、又激氣，有乜辦法?

繼前幾日喺speed bump slow down 或 stop sign 嚟個full stop 俾人「勁」honk 後... 尋日仲離譜到有人抽我頭! 做乜咁急? 趕住做乜喎！知唔知campus 都要守法揸車架！我「拿拿淋」抄低咗佢個車牌，但係又有乜可以做唉?!

好想佢喺度... 好想佢知道...

一段對話

2007-04-17T21:38:00.000-07:00

某日某處聽到兩位婆婆嘅對話，令我想起某些人、某些事...

婆婆甲: 最近你棵樹出花未呀？
婆婆乙: 我唔知喎，冇睇呀。
婆婆甲: 咁佢有冇出葉呀？
婆婆乙: 唔知呀！我連後園都冇出過去。
婆婆甲: (繼續問) 哦！咁佢有冇大到呀？
婆婆乙: 都話我連後園都冇出過去咯！
婆婆甲: (仍然有得問) 咁舊年呢？
婆婆乙: .....！
婆婆甲: 喂！其實好耐冇見你喇！
婆婆乙: (無氣) 有幾耐呀！我淨係上星期冇嚟之嘛！之前嗰個星期都見到你啦！
婆婆甲: 唉呀！我關心你，好掛住你嘛！
婆婆乙: (無言)

一則有趣新聞

2007-04-15T15:06:00.000-07:00

【特別報導】

今晨於美國華盛頓州貝爾威市一個民居中，一名大頭蝦竟然在享用過華夫餅早餐後, 將整樽糖漿與刀、义、碟一拼放進洗碗盆浸濕待洗。可惜女事主到七小時後才發現該意外。糖漿當場宣報失救，直接送進垃圾筒。經初步調查，懷疑大頭蝦因早上六時半便要起牀，引致睡眠不足，促成這次意外。

呼！

2007-04-05T18:42:00.000-07:00

最近幾件大事都非常順利 :) 終於可以鬆一口氣 :)

掂!

2007-03-31T09:48:00.000-07:00

有人最近好强，竟然可以為咗我而比平時早两、三個鐘瞓... 掂! 為此，此人叫/要我喺度表揚佢嘅「偉大」。

你屬於九種性格中的哪一種？

2007-03-23T14:38:00.000-07:00

"Enneagram"性格分類測試...

我係屬於....第六型人　忠誠型

你會是一個很好員工，因為你很忠心盡責。安全感對你都很重要，因為當遇到新的人和事，都會令你產生恐懼、不安的感覺。基於這種恐懼不安，凡事你都會作最壞打算，換句話說，你為人都比較悲觀，也較易去逃避了事。

害怕、憂慮、猶豫

忠誠型的你們，真可用一句俗語「擔X唔偷食」來形容，你們的服從性很高，所以少有冒險精神，也不會行差踏錯。你們表現得忠誠，是因為你們害怕，對很多事情皆憂慮，很多時都向壞處打算，所以做人很謹慎。

同一原因，由於害怕做錯決定，所以當面對決擇的時候，你們大都顯得很猶疑，心大心細。

適當的憂慮能保護我們，但若過份憂慮則會阻礙我們前行！留意留意！

心情highhigh時

快快樂樂的第六型能引起別人強烈的感情回應，因他們都親切可愛、友善、調皮、熱情。不單如此，他們對朋友很忠實，朋友和家人對他們都非常重要，所以他們會致力與不同的人維持持久的關係。在眾多的人際關係裡，信任和長遠的友誼是很重要的。

情緒downdown時

忠誠型的人的不安感頗強，很多時要通過與朋友的相處去肯定自己。所以，不難理解他們對朋友是頗依賴的，很想時刻有朋友在身邊，去平服自己的不安全情緒，不能獨立處事。另外，第六型也是敏感的人，尤其對身邊人的。

完成喇！

2007-03-19T09:12:00.000-07:00

我宣佈... 「搬屋方案」完成喇！尋晚搞掂埋最後一件: 奶奶嘅closet.

攰攰攰 + 煩煩煩

2007-02-21T19:06:00.000-08:00

點解仍然咁攰?! 咁多嘢煩?!

危險駕駛...

2007-02-18T18:58:00.000-08:00

尋晚喺factoria 揸上eastgate way, 竟然見到迎面落山嗰架車行咗wrong way. 我honk 咗n 咁多吓佢都唔發覺 - 搞到我最後要pull over 去避佢, 佢先「醒水」揸番去佢自己嗰邊!

認真危險!! 大家要小心d呀！

繼續執屋...

2007-02-11T22:31:00.000-08:00

為咗下個月老爺，奶奶嘅搬屋、賣屋, 這兩個星期不停執嘢、捐嘢、賣嘢同掉嘢。我諗成世人都未試過見到一間屋可以有咁多嘢！不過今日總算reach到一個milestone - 樓下嗰層完全清理哂lu! :)

喺咁繁忙迫切中, 當然要揾d嘢中和吓 - 今日天氣勁正, 所以同alex去咗alki行咗一陣. Perfect!

懂不懂女人心?

2007-02-08T11:17:00.001-08:00

今日無意看到這篇文章... 幾正確呀!

情境：晚上十一點五分。熱線電話中。女人說得正起勁，男人不小心打了呵欠。

[不懂女人心的例子]

女人（試探地問）：「你想睡覺了喔？」
男人：「對啊。今天上班好累。」
女人（故作體貼狀）：「好吧，不吵你了。快去睡吧！」
男人：「喔，好。那你也早點睡。」

啪。男人掛下電話。五分鐘後，電話鈴響。

被吵醒的男人：「喂！？」
女人：「．．．．．．」
男人：「誰啊？」
女人（一肚子委屈狀）：「你是不是對我感到不耐煩了？」
男人：「啊？什麼？」（摸不著腦袋）
女人：「．．．．．．」
男人：「怎麼了啊？」
女人：「你是不是覺得我很煩？」
男人：「很煩？？為什麼？」
女人：「．．．．．．」
男人：「到底怎麼了啊？你不說我怎知道？」
女人：「人家講到一半，你就打呵欠，又自己先跑去睡覺．．．．．．」
男人：「可．．．可是，是你叫我先去睡的啊？」
女人：「你都說要睡了，不然我還能怎麼樣？」
男人：「唉！如果你要我聽你講話，就直接說嘛。幹麼叫我去睡，結果自己又在那邊生悶氣？」
女人：「我那有生悶氣？」
男人：「這樣還說沒在生氣？好啦好啦，下次我不睡了嘛。可以了吧？」
女人：「那有什麼意義？我要你自己心甘情願，想聽我說話才聽，而不是因為怕我生氣！」

結局：男人又多花半小時安撫對方。
實際就寢時間：十一點四十分。加上先前爭執的緣故，睡覺時情緒有點悶。明天搞不好女人還會冷飯重炒一次。

[深諳女人心的例子]

女人（試探地問）：「你想睡覺了喔？」
男人（語氣雖然疲累，但表示出興致）：「嗯。有一點。今天上班比較累。不過你還沒說完啊，繼續說。我在聽。」
女人（得到安撫）：「喔，不過你累了。不然你先去睡好了。」（還是有試探意味。千萬不能中計，馬上掛下電話）
男人：「今天沒午休，的確比較累一點。不然明天早一點打給你，我們再聊久一點，好不好？」（解釋原因，並且提出補償）
女人：「喔，好吧。快去睡。你一定很累了。」（已經願意放你去睡覺了。不過打鐵趁熱，別停下來）
男人：「那你打算幾點睡？」
女人：「不知道，再過一下子吧。」
男人：「好啊。不過不要太晚睡，對身體不好。我會心疼耶。」
女人（嬌嗔狀）：「好啦。」
男人：「我最愛妳了。」（眼皮垮下了也要記得說，功虧一匱可就划不來了）
女人：「我也愛你。好好休息喔。」。（終於心花朵朵開了）
男人：「嗯。」

啪。女人掛下電話。

結局：十一點十分，完美的句點。男人順利就寢。睡得香又甜。隔天說不定還有morning call。

=====

結論:
1. 女人要的是感覺。很多時候，不能用理性的腦袋去思考她們的邏輯。
2. 多花幾句唇舌，講幾句貼心話，可以讓你省下超過半小時的寶貴時間。
3. 遇到這種情況，要讓女人先掛電話。以免後患無窮。
4. 如果你的女人不像上述例子這樣，那麼恭喜你。請好好珍惜她；如果你的女人和上述例子一樣，請別指責她「無理取鬧」。她要的其實很簡單。

口號

2007-02-07T10:50:00.000-08:00

朋友傳來的:...曾特首角逐連任搵左「我會做好呢份工」做競選口號...

如果換轉其他行業或者其他人應該會咁講：

地盤佬：「我會鑽好呢個窿」
氣功師：「我會發好呢次功」
八達通公司：「我會整好八達通」
天文台：「我會測好呢個風」
整容醫生：「我會隆好呢個胸」
鐘錶師：「我會整好呢個鐘」
廚師：「我會爆好呢碟蔥」
麻將腳：「我會碰好呢隻東」

xx公司的專業員工：「我會五點九就鬆...」

果然係一個好口號！

大大大掃除!

2007-01-28T21:26:00.000-08:00

二零零七之「勞作篇」

2007-01-02T22:42:00.000-08:00

有日行mall見到lee個手工日曆好得意，於是買咗番屋企。
諗住日日做份小禮物俾自己！

今晚同alex落手落腳做第一個project. 做起嚟都幾考功夫!

it's also a time of thanksgiving that things are ok after power came back for us. fish is still alive in their cold water ... our only loss is just the food in the fridge.

embarrassing enough?

After blaming vandals, the U.S. agency learns its workers failed to bar the entry to a maze of logging spurs ....

(click here for full story)
BLM left gate open on road to Kims' fate

Federal workers failed to lock a gate blocking the logging road that led James Kim to his death last week -- a different story than has been told since his death and his family's rescue.

The U.S. Bureau of Land Management was supposed to lock the gate near the entrance of the road, known only as 34-8-36, on Nov. 1. The gate is meant to prevent people from turning onto a maze of logging spurs instead of staying on Bear Camp Road, which cuts through the mountains to the Oregon Coast.

Officials with the agency have maintained since last week that the gate had been locked but was later vandalized. But BLM spokesman Michael Campbell said Wednesday that an internal investigation this week into the suspected vandals turned up the surprising culprit: the agency itself.

"The idea was our BLM engineer, the lead engineer, had directed the staff to go out there and lock the gate on Nov. 1, Campbell said. "Basically what they found was, when they got out there, they were unable to confirm no one was trapped behind the gate. So they made the decision not to close it."

i was so excited when i saw this gigantic hershey's chocolate bar at 7-11 last night. i almost bought it simply because it's so cute .. imagine, 18 inch long!

so, out of curiosity, i searched on the web today to see if other brands have it, and found that CRUNCH indeed has an even bigger one - close to 10 lbs!

原來愛一個人可以這樣.......

2006-12-14T10:42:00.000-08:00

這部影片叫"Team Hoyt" 是在講一對父子的故事，爸爸叫做Dick Hoyt ，兒子叫做Rick Hoyt ，這對父子是長跑健將。在過去二十五年間，他們一共跑了 3770 mile，其中包括：

78次半馬拉松賽，64次的馬拉松賽，24次著名的波士頓馬拉松賽，20次 Duathlons賽，7 次 18.6 Milers賽，34次10 Milers賽，143 次5Milers賽，620 Milers 賽，27次 Falmouth 7.1 milers 賽，15次4
Milers賽，2次11公里賽，8 次15公里賽，204 次10公里賽，4 次8公里賽，92 次5公里賽，206次奧運標準的三項鐵人賽,6次被公認不是平常人可以承受既Ironman distances的終極三項鐵人賽……

但是你知道嗎? 兒子Rick 是不能說話也不能走路的!!

Rick在出生時因臍帶繞頸導致腦部缺氧受損，醫生告訴Dick，孩子是植物人，沒有任何希望了因此他只能在輪椅上渡過他的一生。

Dick引述在Rick九個月大時，醫生對他和他妻子祖迪（Judy）說：「他從此會像植物人一樣，還是把他送到療養院吧。」

然而，他們兩夫婦對此並不認同。他們發覺當他們在屋內活動時，Rick的眼睛會緊盯著他們。當Rick十一歲時，他們把他送到特夫斯大學（Tufts University）的工程系，詢問是否有令孩子與人溝通的辦法，可惜Dick得到的回覆是︰「不可能，他根本沒有任何腦部活動。」

Dick反駁說︰「跟他說個笑話吧。」他們便說了個笑話，Rick果然笑了，證明了他的腦內確有不少活動。結果，他們為Rick加裝了一部能用頭的則面控制滑鼠標的電腦，Rick終於能和外界溝通了！

在Rick十五歲時，Rick的一位中學的同學因意外而癱瘓了，學校為那位學生舉行跑步籌款，Rick便透過電腦打出︰「爸，我也想參加。」

Dick之前並非跑步運動員，也沒有跑過馬拉松賽但因著兒子的要求就參加了於是他就推著Rick跑完了5mile的全程。

在結束之後Rick對父親說:"我今生第一次不覺得殘障了!"
這句話深深地震撼了爸爸Dick！

他決心要把那種感覺盡可能帶給兒子，預備好參加1979年的波士頓馬拉松。「不接受報名。」便是比賽當局給Dick的話，原因是Hoyt父子既不是單獨跑手，又不是輪椅參賽者。結果幾年來，Hoyt父子只在賽事中跟著大隊一起跑，但他們終於找到正式參加比賽的方法︰在1983年，他們參加了另一個馬拉松，他們速度之快，令他們能入圍參加之後一年的波士頓馬拉松。

不久後便有人對Dick說︰「何不參加三項鐵人賽？」一個從來未曾學過游泳的人，一個自六歲起便從未踏過單車的人，如何能拖著 110磅（50公斤）的兒子完成三項全能賽？

但Dick還是勇於一試。屈指一算，他現在已完成了212次三項全能賽，當中包括了四次在夏威夷舉行，極費體力的15小時鐵人賽！

因著父愛，父親去學習游泳，學習踏自行車… 他願意為Rick做出許多的犧牲和付出，他又曾拖著他的兒子越野滑雪，又曾背著他爬山，其中一次更用單車拉著他橫越美國。

於是從那時候開始他們父子就常以"Team Hoyt"報名參加馬拉松和三項鐵人賽: 跑步時Dick就推著Rick跑游泳時Dick就拖著Rick躺著的橡皮艇游騎自行車時Dick就騎著特製的自行車將Rick放在自行車前騎乘……

那麼Dick為何不試試自己一個人參加比賽，看看表現如何？「我不會獨個兒參賽。」Dick說。他參加比賽純粹是為了當他們一起跑步、游泳和踏單車，看到Rick面上露出甜美笑容時的「奇妙感覺」。

今年，Dick與Rick分別65和43歲，已完成了他們第24次波士頓馬拉松，在20,000名參賽者中排名第5,083。他們的最佳時間？是在1992年的兩小時40分—— 只落後世界紀錄35分鐘；當然，或許你還未留意到，這紀錄是由一個沒有推著輪椅的人所創的。

兩年前，在一次比賽中，Dick輕微心臟病發。其後醫生發現他的一條大動脈有95%栓塞了。其中一名醫生對他若說︰「非你一直保持著這樣好的狀態，你大可能15年前已不久於人世。」

現在，儘管Rick有自己的住宅單位（他享有居家照料服務）並在波士頓工作，而Dick從軍隊退役後已在麻薩諸塞州的荷蘭市居住，但他們總有團聚的方法。他們經常在全國各地發表演說，而每週末也會參加極耗體力的比賽，當中包括今年的父親節。

當晚， Rick會請父親吃晚飯，但他最想送給父親的禮物，是他永遠買不到的。 Rick 答道︰「我最想送給爸爸的，是爸爸坐在椅上，由我推他次！」

在影片中Dick推著Rick通過終點，他們父子都受到眾人的鼓掌和歡呼。但這中間Rick什麼都沒有做… 他也什麼也都不能做…一切都因為他父親的愛而白白領受這些…

Press'n Seal

2006-12-09T23:23:00.000-08:00

[by now, you probably wonder if i'm so bored at home today that i kept posting blogs ... :P but hey, i really rare got so much free time that i kept trying new stuff :) ]

===

out of curiosity (and for the sake of "fun"), i finally took the luxury of buying a roll of press'n seal - it was really magical that it sticks so tight to the plate. i indeed turn it upside down to test it - amazing :) however, i don't quite like the stickness that i felt when touching the wrap....

so... probably this is just the only one roll i'm gonna get.

afterall, i prefer to store food in containers than plates with wraps :)

HIGHLY RECOMMEND

few weeks ago, i was looking for some salmon rub i have tried at a friend's house that i love so much ... turned out it was sold out at the store i was in, and the lady recommended me seafood rub instead, which she said she likes it more than the salmon rub. Trusting her, i bought it ...

and, tonite, while alex was so busy working at home the whole day, i decided to make him some special dinner. i use this rub to marinate some white fish, and fried it ... and serve it wth fettucine and some healthy beans/veggie. alex loved it, of course :)

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Saddened by the news...

2006-12-08T14:56:00.000-08:00

have been following Kim's news for days, and was really saddened by the tragic ending. A lesson to learn for everyone of us, but i really wish it would have a happy ending.

===

lately, i've been visiting the doctor's office so often. it's so frequent that today, the clinic's reception said "hey bonny, i think you're the #1 patient at our office - i am seeing you so frequently" :P When dr shiu came into the room, his first sentence was "hey bonny, how come i'm seeing you again ... your stack of paper in the file is getting too much".

well ... of course it's a bad thing to have to visit the doctor so often, but it's a good thing that i have found this nice clinic with all nice people around - and they know me so well by now! there were two encounters with them that i truly know they care for me! :)

oh the good news though is, the infection i have been having is gone! No more virus is found from the latest lab test!

sooner or later, i'll for sure have an auto accident on campus...

---

this morning, i was like less than a feet away from an auto accident...

when going down ne 36th way to work ... there is this pickup who suddenly came out from bldg 36 to make a left turn - intersecting with me directly. i really pressed hard on my brake ... really hard, probably the hardest ever that my car shaked and i thought i'd hit his pickup head on ... when we were so close, i saw him waiving his hand for both panic and apologizing... oh well ...

thank god that i can get to a full stop just before hitting this guy.

no more accidents please... it took me 1.5 yr to finally settle all the claims for the last outstanding auto accident. no more please!

---

this is the 2nd time in the last 1.5 week that i saw car coming out of bldg 36 without looking at the traffic - don't they know what stop signs are for ??? don't they know i do not have ABS for my car ??? i can't be any more defensive than i am already to avoid this...

u can't imagine how this unknown plant has grown into ... surprise?!

on this particular day ...

2006-10-12T23:59:00.000-07:00

2 years.

i insisted to stay home to have dinner with my family - one of those very few days i insisted alex to get off work on time, because it's very important to me for the family to be together on this very day. no one talked about this topic, and it went by like any other day quietly, but i think we all know in our heart the importance of this day.

i was hoping someone would understand my feeling, but seems to me that every friend around me is asking me the same question of whether i've let go or not. that made me discouraged to share my real feeling to them, because i think i'm not being understood and agreed on how i am feeling, and no matter how many years has passed, it's still there and it's never "too long ago" for it to be forgotten, or felt less about. only the family knows how it feels ...

i thought about brenda ... i thought about ed ... and all these scenes of me saying goodbye to brenda everytime i left hong kong ...

how sad.
