新春花花

2012-01-21T18:03:00.003+08:00

每到農曆新年，我就放滿一屋鮮花。今年，除了水仙，桃花，我還選了跳舞蘭。跳舞蘭花如其名，就像一雙雙的黃色的芭蕾舞鞋，在空中擺出各種妙曼的舞步，盼顧生姿。我最愛用白色的花瓶盛載跳舞蘭，映襯出那份獨特的淘氣和嬌美。

Lovely coffee cream cake

2012-01-21T17:36:00.002+08:00

I have made this smily coffee cream cake in this quiet Saturday. We could foresee the streets and shopping malls would be crowded with tourists and people who were too enthusiastic for a pre CNY shopping, therefore we decided to stay home and ordered pizza delivery. Nothing is better than baking in such a lazy day. This is a very simple cake which was made by coffee flavor sponge cake,

Narcisse in my home

2012-01-19T15:12:00.001+08:00

Look at this beautiful plant. It is Narcisse (水仙), one of the festive flowers of Chinese New Year. I like the delicate and divine scent of Narcisse. It is easy to keep one pot of it at home. What you should do is just to refresh the water inside the pot daily. I believe more flowers would blossom during the coming Chinese New Year! BTW, I think the ribbon with disproportional size around

書房

2012-01-09T17:20:00.002+08:00

我家有一間書房。書房的窗子向西。夏天，特別是西斜時份熱得很，冬天卻恰度好處地溫暖，是我的避寒勝地。窗外有一片樹林，能看見天空。下午時份，陽光映照入房間，灑到地毯上，架上的結他，凌亂的書櫃，以及那堆沒有地方擺放的書山。窗外的花槽種了幾盤植物。從房子看出去，它們跟樹林連成一線。我每天替她澆水。雖然種得不太茂盛或漂亮，卻不失可愛。有空時，總愛待在這兒。這個下午，我跟弟弟坐在書房的小沙發上，蓋上毛氈。我跟弟弟說故事，他抱著奶瓶，在我的懷裏喝著奶，然後進入甜甜的夢鄉。我想，這就叫幸福吧！

《看水不是水(Zen Ghosts)》

2012-01-04T11:46:00.000+08:00

我從公共圖書館借來《看水不是水》一書。不是任何人的推薦，只是覺得書名很有趣，便借來給孩子讀讀。這原來是有關禪學著作的故事。在美國一小鎮裏，三兄妹在萬聖節慶祝過後，到了一位叫靜水大師，頭帶白狐頭帽子的熊貓（？！）家聽鬼故。那鬼故源自中國宋朝無門慧開禪師著作中《無門關》的「倩女離魂」。聽起來有點毛骨聳然罷？才不是，給孩子聽的故書總是很有趣。據書末的作者小記，這鬼故是一個「公案」，意思是「你得用直覺回答的問題」。究竟故事裏的那兩個小倩是否同一個人，為甚麼？這得小讀者自己想想，沒有絕對的對錯答案。至於這書名，很風馬牛不相及？我只可說這也是禪得很。有沒有興趣知道小讀者的反應？哥哥聽罷，問為甚麼故書這麼快完。他又說書名《看水不是水》可改為《看熊貓不是狐狸》！原著：Zen Ghosts 原著作者：Jon J Muth 譯者：黃聿君出版：格林文化事業股份有限公司

Hello 2012!!

2012-01-03T15:24:00.002+08:00

Good day everyone!! It is January 3, 2012. Lucas starts his brand new school year, Linus should wait until January 5, now he is enjoying a peaceful nap (a.k.a. my peaceful afternoon) after 5 oz. of milk. The weather is lovely, sunshine penetrates through the windows of my study room. I am sitting in front of my sexy Mac Air, typing this entry. My blog is always a nice place to lingering

再見，親愛的嫲嫲

2011-12-28T16:55:00.003+08:00

聽到電話響起，還以為是有關工作，原來是爸爸。原來嫲嫲剛剛離開了這個世界，到了美麗的天國。聽到爸媽的聲音，我的眼淚不斷的流，很想跑到醫院幫忙，但媽媽說不用了。大人們會處理。我總是個像過份緊張的父母，他們總是像一對比我想像中能幹和堅強的子女。窗外陽光明媚，跟帶點十三點性格的嫲嫲一樣的開朗，我坐在和煦的陽光下又哭了起來。想起嫲嫲的回憶是我們兒時在假期回到鄉下過時的情境。以及去年她穿上我送她那漂亮的唐裝衫時的笑顏。很想跟她說句再見，雖然不能到醫院見她最後一面，但她會知道我對她的思念。嫲嫲到了天國，徵笑地看著我們，守候著我們。

傻豬

2011-12-16T17:53:00.002+08:00

前幾天，兩位男孩乘我忙碌或不在家時瘋狂玩ipad遊戲，連我大叫他們的名字也聽不到。到了耐性磨滅的一刻，我終於大發雷霆，重重責備他們。之後幾天，他們完全不沾ipad。今天，哥哥又懇求玩ipad,他說只是玩五分鐘。見他這幾天表現不錯，便放寬一下吧。只見弟弟一臉擔憂，問他何事，他說擔心哥哥變成傻仔。我才記起之前火遮眼，罵他們如此打機下去，不懂做其他事便會變成傻仔。我真的想不到這些純為發泄，聽似耳邊風的說話竟深深印到弟弟的心裡。我立刻向弟弟解釋，偶然玩一下無妨，只是不應沉迷。我以後說話也要謹慎一點！

A new pair of earrings

2011-12-14T00:01:00.002+08:00

Get bored with those lifeless and monotonous chain store accessories, I was searching for something manmade by local designers. I have found this pair of earrings from Daydream Nation, the brand is Made by kawai. Gorgeous, aren't they? I think they look great with outfits from casual wear to party dress!

Modelling

2011-12-08T14:50:00.001+08:00

My cousin asked my kids to help on a photo-shooting last evening for a product catalogue, with two more children from her friends. My boys are the eldest among four, but they were the most uncooperative pairs. They lied and 'swam' breaststroke on the floor, were being hyperactive, fighting with each other, bumping here and there. In one word, uncontrollable. If you look at the four

小王子與奧塞羅之二

2011-12-07T14:52:00.001+08:00

昨晚睡前看過那本兒童版的《奧塞羅》。它以簡單的英語，三言兩語地描繪每個角式的性格，以及各人之間的千絲萬縷。好書一本。可是，要跟那兩位五歲和三歲的年青人講述Othello因妒忌和愚蠢而用枕頭焗死自己心愛的妻子Desdemona，似乎不太應該。老實說，我曾思考應否給予孩子看太多童話故事，是否要讓他們早點知道世界不盡美好的一面。有一次我我收到宣明會的會訊時，剛巧孩子們不肯吃飯，便將會訊給孩子們看，讓他們知道他們是住了一百個人的地球村內，最幸運的那幾個人。不過我當時這樣做，都有點躊躇。至於奧塞羅這個故事，赤裸地顯示人性的弱點，給他們讀，會否太快戳破成年人的面目？再者，莫說孩子，大人可能也不全明瞭這個故事，現在介紹這書給孩子似乎並非適當時候。還記得晚飯前跟大袁生的閒談：我：「我買了這本書。」袁：「《奧塞羅》？好東西呀。我好像有隻珍藏DVD。」我：「是？你看過了？」袁：「

小王子與奧賽羅

2011-12-06T17:55:00.001+08:00

今午，我帶著弟弟去圖書館，經過旁邊的大會堂，見到小王子音樂劇的宣傳。本來我已計劃這兩天安排一些表演給孩子們欣賞，碰到如此吸引的節目，還未細讀內容，便拉著弟弟跑到售票處。我跟櫃枱小姐查詢小王子音樂劇的資料。小姐皺一皺眉，說已經票已經售謦。這時，我才明白她的皺眉是因為竟然還有人以為有票賣。我真的太天真太傻，做了這麼多年家長，還未學會任何我親子的活動，競爭是何等的激烈。我還沾沾自喜，以為自己先人一步看到這些宣傳。有點氣結，打了個電話給大袁生，告訴他小王子音樂劇的票沒了。他聽罷笑說：「不出奇罷，連你都見到宣傳，沒有其他媽媽不知道了。」豈有此理，他竟然套用了「凡有師奶說要買股票就是股災之時」的理論於這件事上。「但我上星期也經過此處，還沒有小王子的紙版公仔出現。」我不服氣。大袁生說：「不要緊罷，你都知凡是以小孩為目標觀眾的表演都是搶手的。」他又說得有道理。我便說：「好

A freelancer life

2011-12-06T13:38:00.001+08:00

Being a full time mum and a freelancer is a perfect combination of life to me. I can play the role that God give me responsibly, without losing a trace to my career development. Of course, the income from the freelance work is much less than before, but at least I enjoy working now, and I have the autonomy to decide how much time I devote to it. Recently, I received several interesting jobs.

Eyeshadow manic

2011-12-06T11:26:00.001+08:00

When you read the topic of this entry, you thought I was a eyeshadow manic, right? No, I was talking about Linus. Whenever I wear make-up, if Linus happens to be around, he loves to sit next to me and playing my cosmetic, especially blushes an eyeshadow palates. This morning, when I opened my Chanel four-color palate, I discovered this: the ballet pink shadow was spiced up with the charcoal

A piece of words

2011-11-02T15:56:00.002+08:00

OMG! I know it sounds really cliche; I was searching for several pieces of paper to write on, then I found a notebook which was collecting dust at the corner of a bookshelf. In the first page, it was my writing, I had NO memory that I had written something like this in page one, ' Can you imagine that...... a little unexpected life in now in my womb. Yes...actually it is expected, but can't

Concept about death

2011-10-11T23:22:00.002+08:00

I read Lucas a book about stars. One of the chapters is about Red Giant. It is predicted that our Sun will reach this stage in approximately five billion years. It is a dying stage of a star. 'Will everything die?' Lucas asked. 'Yes' I replied briefly, and added 'everything has a beginning and an end, it is what I believe.' 'Will everyone die?' 'Yes, just depends on time, human's life span

Horrid Henry's series

2011-10-11T11:17:00.001+08:00

Horrid Henry' is an unusual fictional character of children readings. He is not a role model for kids, he is naughty, ill-mannered, even a bit anti-social. He is an absolute contradiction of his decent, well behaved younger brother, Perfect Peter. Horrid Henry series was created since 1994, which was very popular worldwide and had been translated into different languages. However, Henry is

香港的博物館

2011-10-03T15:18:00.003+08:00

我喜歡逛博物館，無論是香港或是國外。慢慢，我發現到一個有趣現像: 香港博物館內的保安員遠比歐美的博物館保安員「盡責」。每當有人走進香港的博物館，那些保安員便會金晶火眼的盯著。當有人從口袋掏出手機，他們便會緊張地趨前。當發現那人只是用手機查時間或在notepad記錄，他們立即止步，隱伏在那人後面，直至他將手機放回袋裏。若果那人真的舉手機拍照，保安員便於0．001秒內，以方圓30米能聽到的聲線說：「這裏不能影相呀！」好作出殺一儆百之效。當有小朋友來參觀，保安員更顯緊張。當孩子們走近一點展品，保安員立即走近他們，當他們快步行過，保安員會立即喝止（只是快步，不是跑）。記得我還是中學生時，我參觀了一個關於流行藝術的展覽，那時興起讓參觀者互動的展品。其中一件展品是一本簿，參觀者可在上面塗鴉，旁邊還附有一支筆。我覺得很有趣，便在上面畫了一點東西。怎知一位保安員走來責罵我，

Lazy holiday

2011-10-02T14:58:00.000+08:00

One of the best entertainments during a holiday is watching Discovery Science channel hour after hour, to pretend that I am a MIT graduate that's why I can understand what the hell those scientists are talking about.

感動

2011-08-16T16:23:00.003+08:00

暑假過了大半,我跟孩子們黏在一起的悠長假期也接近尾聲!暑假剛開始的首兩個星期,我被兩位細袁生弄得團團轉,要出外管接送暑期班,要在家跟他們玩過不停,home schooling,包括畫畫,玩泥膠,讀書,寫字,做勞作, 行山,踏單車,又要不斷阻上兩位人仔每30分鐘一次的扭鬥°曾經有一次我在混亂中跌倒,腿瘀了一大片° 我跟朋友說,孩子的暑假就是我的暑期boot camp,我的導師(即是兩位細袁生)要我在短短8星期內將我的忍耐力,身手及領導才能極速提昇! 有次,我支持不住,哭著打個電話給大袁生,說我們一走了之....一晚,去看戲吧!當晚出門,兩位細袁生抱著我的腿不讓我走,要工人姐姐將他們從我身上「撕」下來°關門那一刻,聽到他們呼天搶地的媽媽聲(不是粗口),心又痛了! 一分鐘前才對他們恨之入骨,一分鐘後心又溶了! 我曾經擔心自己常急速遊走極喜極悲的狀態,是患了精神病°前幾天,

A big book

2011-08-11T13:03:00.002+08:00

I knew about 'Six Wives - The Queens of Henry VIII' through the seminar held by David Tang during the Hong Kong Book Fair 2011. It was written by David Starkey and published in 2004. I am reading this book through kindle. The hard cover of this book has 880 pages. It is quite a big book. I am still at 7% of the kindle version, which is still talking about how the first queen, Catherine took

A beautiful world

2011-08-11T11:46:00.001+08:00

Too many violence and disasters around the world. An individual may not be able to make any significant change, but at least we can do our part the best, to love people around us, treasure those who love me, be a good person. I am not concerned when will be the end of the world. You know, when there is an end, there is always a beginning. Live at the moment and seize the day.

Bathing babies

2011-07-18T17:42:00.000+08:00

I have just bathed the two boys (I still call them my babies even they are no longer crawling on the floor). We have a domestic helper but the boys always want me to take care of them. When they are in the bath tub, they talk to me, they imagine they are in a ship, they ask me how come ships floats, bubbles come out from an empty bottle..... And I also enjoy every moment with them, even

Summer days are busy days

2011-07-11T14:37:00.000+08:00

Summer has arrived Hong Kong more than a month. It reminded me the trips to Sabah when I walked out the street a few days ago. Is Hong Kong getting hotter and hotter, or am I aging and cannot handle extreme weather as easy as 10 years ago? Who knows. The boys has started summer holiday since July. Same as other parents, we arrange many activities for them. Lucas starts learning piano. I

Working days

2011-06-28T10:54:00.000+08:00

Have had a challenging job at the mid of this month, I accept to take the job in the very last minute. Thanks god both agency and client like me and praise my performance a lot. What an extraordinary experience! Am waiting for the briefing session of my new project. Cross my fingers!

有工開

2011-05-26T11:40:00.000+08:00

自從做了全職媽媽和自由工作者,當接到新工作就很興奮,跟以前當在職媽媽的心態很不同! 在家照顧BB有時也會有點力不從心,但整體也是愉快和有滿足感的! 有新工作了,是寫report,賺到的錢要買一部coffee maker給謝菲!!

Somewhere over the rainbow

2011-05-19T11:59:00.002+08:00

A beautiful rainbow appeared across the sky last evening. When I see in the picture I had taken, I found there were double rainbows!!! A faint bigger rainbow was at the top of the smaller one, which I could not seen by my naked eyes or I just omitted it. It is really a rare view in Hong Kong. As I remember, it was my first time to witness such wonderful rainbows in my life. I brought the

我最憎「親子」

2011-05-04T20:13:00.002+08:00

老實說,我不太清楚「親子」一詞的意思°我初時以為它是「親親孩子」的簡稱,但當這詞在不同地方鋪更蓋地出現後,我覺得: 它可以是一種地理狀態,只要爸媽與子女在同一個地方上出現便可叫做親子,如「親子唱遊班」,「親子遊學團」,「親子興趣班」等等° 理論上,你跟阿仔阿女吃午餐可叫做「親子午餐」, 如果你們是住在同一屋詹下,這間屋可說成「親子屋」..... 它可以是一種商業活動°「親子」配合一個名詞後,便能成為無限商機°對不起,我舉得例子又是「親子唱遊班」,「親子遊學團」,「親子興趣班」等等° 我覺得「親子outward bound 」或「親子獨立生活能力訓練營」等課程會有很大的market,有沒有人想投資我這個concept? 經過多個公私營機構大力提倡下,「親子」變成家長無形的壓力°家長必須每天抽十五至二十分鐘去做的功課,假期必須安排的活動°為了滿足各界要求家長的「親子」期望,

What do the children learn from school

2011-05-03T17:42:00.000+08:00

The kids resume their school today. During lunch time, I talked to Lucas, who was at my right hand side. 'Do you feel happy at school today?' 'Yes' he said. 'What did you learn from school today then?' 'Rubbish.' I was shocked and felt hilarious. Then I replied, 'do you mean waste recycling?' I guess his school was teaching environmental protection. Yes was his answer, but actually I

Post Easter holiday

2011-05-03T10:34:00.002+08:00

Finally the Easter holiday of the kids is over. I can have my quiet 'me' time again in the morning. We had been Sabah for six days. I thought it was just a place with beaches and resorts, but I was wrong. It is a place with diversified landscapes and entertainments, a place which has colonial characteristic without losing its indigenous uniqueness. The eco-tourism is well-developed there,

Frustration!!

2011-04-11T09:50:00.001+08:00

He is a fundamentalist of Utilitarianism, he perceives a dog as a tool only, how many dogs will be abandoned because of his selfishness? People around him just spoil him! I won't go to his house if he has a dog, I am serious!!!!!

Please don't spread any hoax through social network please....

Dear Diary

2011-03-01T12:35:00.003+08:00

我有寫日記的習慣° 正確來說,我有著寫字的僻好! 再正確點說,雖說是日記,但我不是天天也寫,不過當有時間,就拿出紙筆來寫,或到電腦跟前打字° 還依稀記起小一中文書裏,有一課關於日記的故事:故事主角是一個小孩,他媽媽鼓勵他在日記記下每天的事°有一天他打破了家中的花瓶,他很內疚,在日記上寫下他的不快,及要向媽媽道歉的計劃°媽媽讀過小孩這篇日記,覺得他勇於認錯,讚他是好孩子(大概是這樣,因記憶力有限,可能跟事實有出入,謹此致歉)° 小一時覺得這故事很有趣,兩年後再想起,就覺得這個媽媽有點政治不正確°再過了幾年,常常在TVB或RTHK的劇集裏,看到父母因關心而偷看兒女的日記,兒女發現後大發雷霆 ,然後父母認為自己是父母所以有權看兒女日記,兒女再一言九「頂」,繼而雙方不歡而散的方程式般的情節° 總之,就是這課課文,啟發我寫日記的興趣°小學寫過日記,但不知所終了°現在家中藏有至少七本日記,

Double eggyolks

When I cracked open the half boiled egg today, I found these - double egg yolks!!

Lovely flowers

2011-02-24T16:35:00.001+08:00

Strawberry plants from France, a pot of Rosemary at the left, you can see the fruits pop out from the little white flowers. It's spring time, the weather is getting warmer, and my mood is brightened by blossomed flowers.

Dinosaurs

2011-02-23T16:04:00.000+08:00

I am introducing blogging to Lucas. He told me he also wanted to be a blogger. The first entry he would like to talk about is dinosaur, his favorite prehistoric animal. This would be what he like to share: "Lucas likes to play dinosaurs! Apatosaurus is my most famous type, because it is a plant-eater and it is gentle, he is also cute and sweet. Tyrannosaurs Rex is the most scary dinosaur,

新丁家廚

2011-02-23T11:35:00.001+08:00

因為奶奶搬遠了,在不用上班的日子,我除了負責煮午餐,也要主理晚餐° 現在我真正覺得我媽神級棒!她每天做家務帶小孩預備一日三餐仍可以面不改容,閒時還會做衣服給我們(我說的閒時是指我跟妹妹還小的時候)° 可能資質使然,我成長期間卻沾不到我媽的半點生活智慧°在成為媽媽前,我總認為不懂煮飯不打緊,懂賺錢聘人煮飯就行°我以前是一個intellectual smart但street smart零分的人°例如跟友人到外地住酒店,面對著未見過的浴缸水龍頭,我必定是不懂如何調教熱水,唯有尖叫求助°又例如我對菜刀有恐懼症,總覺得切菜時會切掉自己的手指°現在為人之母,真的不能再這樣「低能」下去,所以雖有聘用家傭,很多事我仍會親力親為,例如煮飯(當然,我仍不能保証我不會切菜時會切掉自己的手指)° 還是一個新丁家廚的我,每天也要抱著食譜學習,而且有些菜式我跟食譜煮過一次,一個星期後又忘記,要重新翻查°不過

The vacuum cleanser at my home almost makes me deaf.....

2011-02-18T11:16:00.003+08:00

It is getting more and more noisy but it doesn't perform its supposing function well. What on Earth should you be here? My dear vacuum cleanser. I will replace you in very very soon future. ********* Um.... a thought just comes across my mind - if I am a man, I change the 'it' to 'she' and 'vacuum cleanser' to 'wife' in above paragraph, it still make sense. Doesn't it? Wakakakka!

Feel comfortable in your skin

2011-02-16T12:33:00.000+08:00

I read this from French Women for All Seasons: "Nature gives you the face you have at twenty, life shapes the face you have at thirty, but at fifty you get the face you deserve." -- Coco Chanel. Love yourself and treat yourself all the time!

有關相機

2011-01-19T12:19:00.002+08:00

曾經看過一篇文章,附有一幀相片,有些小數民族的女孩子用布蓋著自己面孔,不願被遊客影相°可惜,那些遊客沒有理會,大剌刺地,走到她們跟前不斷拍照,希望在布與布中間窺探她們的美貌,及滿足他們當名攝影師的幻想° 別人的感受? 管他的! 文章也有提及當地有些孩子很不願被拍照,他們哭起來,那些「名攝影師」卻視若無睹,繼續瘋狂按制….. 看罷這篇報導,很無奈,很憤怒! 隨著數碼相機出現,相片變得越來越廉價°廉價,不只是它的成本,更加是它背後的意義,及攝影師對被攝者的尊重° 不久前,我們一家到商場去° 帶著兩個男孩子去shopping其實是一件難事,很難要求他們看著你買東西°謝菲很細心,他讓我看己到一店內逛,他獨自看管著小朋友° 弟弟年紀小,有點頑劣,我還未進店內已聽見他扭計,繼而尖叫大哭° 我立刻跑出店外,見到弟弟大發脾氣,在地上打轉,不肯起來° 謝菲不理他,不讓步,要他冷靜° 我再看到不遠處有群人

舉重跳芭蕾

2011-01-12T17:43:00.000+08:00

每當我抱著差不多40磅,睡著(或裝睡)的Lucas,由停車場爬樓梯上地面,我都會後侮當天穿了高跟鞋!感覺就像上身在挺舉,下身卻在跳芭蕾!

Mezzi Rigatoni

2011-01-07T16:52:00.000+08:00

After What French Women Know, written by Debra Ollivier, I would love to explore the French culture deeper, then I selected French Women in All Seasons by Mireille Guiliano. I did not know French Women in All Seasons is a book with recipes of many seasonal dishes, as I hadn't read the book description carefully before I clicked the button at Kindle online bookstore. It surprised me when I

Good mood

2011-01-04T11:48:00.000+08:00

This is the second school day of Linus. It seems he can totally adapt to the new environment. Now I have more me-time in the morning. This morning I had practiced yoga. Exercise does lift up my mood. I feel more healthy and relaxing. Will have job on Jan 17-20, very good.

2011 New Year Resolutions

2011-01-03T17:08:00.000+08:00

Okay, since we are in the new year, we have to set the New Year Resolutions, otherwise it doesn't feel like a new year. Right? Anyway. I used to have a long list of New Year Resolutions every year, frankly, I tried to achieve most of them and I did make some of them. However, in 2011, I would like to give myself more DIRECTIONS instead of A to-do list. I have two directions for the new year, I

2011年「紅」運當頭行山記

2011-01-03T17:02:00.000+08:00

2011年1月1日,謝菲建議行山,家人朋友一呼十多應. 11時,大家在大埔滘自然保護區前的涼亭集合. 就在等人的時候,Linus弟弟跑來跑去, 突然在涼亭前跌倒,右面面頰撞向亭前階級. 這,是「紅」運當頭的由來. 我抱起弟弟時,他的面血如泉湧,張口大哭,滿口是血. 我忙抱他坐下,大家立刻幫手沖洗傷口和止血.他的傷口很深,但不幸中的大幸,他的牙齒還完好無損.我們鬆了一口氣. 還以為行山要取消,但弟弟止了血後,哭也止了,只是不肯貼膠布,還肯去行山. 由11時15分出發,我們行到2時30分.弟弟只是頭段及尾段15分鐘要抱,其他時段拖著我們行.他像是沒有受痛楚影響,還是哈哈大笑,反而是我憂心忡忡,怕他又再跌倒. Lucas哥哥也表現得很成熟,平日總是跟弟弟爭寵的他,見到爸媽大部份時間拖著Linus,也沒有撒嬌,還能行畢全程. 2011年第一天,我對這兩位細袁生有更深的瞭解.他們很勇敢,很有男子氣概

Working days

2010-12-16T13:08:00.001+08:00

Need to go to works these few days. This morning, when Jeff, grandma and me left home for work, Linus missed us so much, he said to me 'how about you play with me?' I did want to stay because he was far too cute! However, to have a prosperous Christmas and new year, I gave to capture the chances to work....Will spend all time with him and Lucas after this project!Love you boys!!!!!

BABIES!!!!!! (Episode 4)

2010-12-13T16:40:00.000+08:00

Did I tell you the hamster mommy had her second pregnancy? She had given birth last Saturday morning. We could see seven reddish baby hamsters in the cage, all are extremely tiny. Frankly, not sure if all of them can survive. Wish them all the best! If all of them survive, wish me all the best!!

Christmas is all around

2010-12-09T19:06:00.000+08:00

This is my first time making gingerbread cookies. I have made around two dozens. Many had been eaten up right after coming out from the oven by the three boys. Others were 'decorated' by Lucas and Linus, and then the toppings (decorating gel/ icing and sprinkles) were licked up by the boys immediately, leaving the messy cookies on a plate. These are six of my creations. Since I am not a

BABIES!!!!!!!!! (Episode 3)

2010-12-06T14:35:00.000+08:00

Here is the news:1. Only one out for the four hamster babies can survive after 14 days. Three passed away because of malnutrition (The mom could not provide enough milk for all babies, and this female hamster is just too young to be a mother, she lost interest to feed those weaker babies at certain point of time).2. I am not sure if this is a good news or a bad news, the hamster mother is

A lovely day

BABIES!!!!!! (Episode 2)

2010-11-26T13:03:00.001+08:00

當我發現自己做了granny,心情很激動. 謝菲說米已成炊了,還是省點力,明天才算罷! 我睡不著.半夜爬了起床,走去Google search倉鼠生B的資料.有些資料建議鼠媽生產後立刻將爸爸分籠(朋友在facebook回覆也是一樣),目的是防止鼠媽再懷孕(鼠媽可在24小時內再有喜,真是好生養. 不過,立即懷孕會很影響鼠媽的健康).每一胎可以生產1至15隻. OMG!!!!!當時我還未知籠內有多少鼠BB,如果有15隻,怎麼辦? 慶幸的是鼠爸爸像很生性,沒有傳聞所說的會咬鼠BB,還幫鼠媽銜著BB入小屋,不捨得分開它們.累了,先去睡,明天才算. 星期六,一醒來,第一時間探鼠鼠.在黃色小屋內見到4隻粉紅色BB!幸好,只有4隻! 謝菲建議找人領養鼠BB,我心裏不捨得,但又擔心沒能力養,便去問了一間寵物屋. 寵物屋說他們不會收購.我覺得自己像貪財的賣孫婆婆,但是心裏有一點歡喜,因為鼠BB

What am I doing?

2010-11-25T14:40:00.002+08:00

I am just a stupid idiot! How come I care a friend so much who didn't care me when I became a mother, did not invite me to her wedding ceremony, and when I am bringing along a pack of baby's clothes which weighted five pounds, plus a pre Christmas gift for her baby, and almost reach her home, she just text my phone that the visit should be cancelled???? Lesson: don't care too much about whom

Thanksgiving day

2010-11-25T10:20:00.000+08:00

Today is Thanksgiving day. Lucas's kindergarten requested children to bring along dried food, such as biscuits, noodles and rice to school. Santa helpers would then collect them and send to a Christian association, which would distribute the food to the needy. I packed a pack of Japanese rice, some Oreo chocolate cookies, and biscuits we bought in Okinawa. Lucas had brought them to school

BABIES!!!!! (Episode 1)

2010-11-24T11:31:00.004+08:00

這絕對是值得記下的一件事! 一件有點滑稽的事! 兩個月前,我買了一對小倉鼠,品種是小雲石°店員說它們是女的°它們很細小,只有一吋長左右,樣子極可愛°它們十分頑皮,不斷跑上跑下,打筋斗,又愛咬人°哥哥Lucas替它們起了名Pizza和Pizza(對!就是要一樣名)° Pizza和Pizza一直都很小巧,就算個多月後,兩隻鼠都不是胖了很多,直至數日前,有一隻好像長了不少肉,我還說笑寒冬前要儲點脂肪° 上周五晚,跟謝菲拍拖後回家°我到廚房歇一下,順道看看小倉鼠們° 探頭去籠裏,見到一隻在小屋內,一隻在外°裡面的一隻像在咬著一顆粉紅色的東西°我還以為它在吃果乾,但總是覺得有點奇,這兩隻小不點很少帶食物入小屋,通常在食物格旁已經狼吞虎嚥起來°當我仍在想是否天氣冷它們的習慣也會改變,開始覺得有點兒不對勁....... 這兩隻鼠兒咬著的,不像果乾,質感似橡皮,又像肉°我搞不清這些是甚麼°

XXX

2010-11-18T17:48:00.001+08:00

I asked Lucas casually that if he had kissed his girlfriend Christy in school. The reason I asked him from time to time is because I am not sure if he dares to do it, as an extremely shy boy like him. Despite he is extremely shy, his teacher told me he was very popular among his classmates. We are a bit confused..... Anyway, he demonstrated to me how he kissed Christy. He walked to me,

Hello Kitty壽司飯

2010-11-12T16:34:00.001+08:00

小朋友們近日不太有胃口，媽媽我又要想點新菜式° 這天到了City Super,又見到那個可愛的Hello Kitty壽司飯模°我每次經過總看它一眼，心思思想帶回家，但HK$189真的有點貴，又怕很難使用°　終於，在弟弟附和之下，我們買了這可愛的模具回家° 今午的午餐豐富得很，這Hello Kitty壽司飯內有甜蛋，牛肉，新鮮粟米，三文魚籽，紫菜等°雖然兩位小B最終不是吃很多，但也告訴我這個Kitty很美味！我想這個飯除了小朋友外，女孩子們也喜歡！ Hello Kitty Sushi Rice

I saw several tornadoes in my dream

2010-10-22T21:29:00.000+08:00

Not sure if I worried about MEGI, the so-called 'the most destructive typhoon throughout Hong Kong history' typhoon, would sweep across Hong Kong violently, I dreamed several tornadoes forming and twisting around last night. I still remember through the big window of my parent's home, I saw the funnels swirled from sky and then reached the ground, they were very narrow, destructive, yet

愛上煮飯

2010-10-22T15:36:00.004+08:00

自從我們「膳食部」進行改革 - 在我不用上班的日子,寶寶的午飯由我主理,寶寶比以前吃多了! 很喜歡這種親力親為的感覺! 其實我的廚藝並不精湛,又只會到超市買餸,煮飯的「年資」不超過兩年, 現在還是學習階段, 每次煮飯都食譜不離手° 我家的三位袁生對我很好, 就算煮得不太完美也照單全收! 我會繼續努力! 鮮蝦烏冬日式海鮮意粉定食蒜蓉雞肉墨魚麪和式秋刀魚定食雞柳香菇義式貓耳麪

A full time housewife

2010-10-08T16:25:00.003+08:00

Already a week of helper-less life (again, just had one in May this year). There will be 1 1/2 weeks coming. It is exhausted to look after two kids and doing housework, but I feel the delicate change of the relationship with my boys. It is a solid mother and son relationship. They can feel mommy is truly looking after them. They love the food I made. Linus licked the bowl literally in

Natural beauty

2010-10-05T17:27:00.002+08:00

Since my lovely friend Grace asked me to share the recipes of homemade masks I tried, I would like to post them here. The 'serving' of the below recipes is one portion only. Definitely, you can prepare more if your face is bigger or your hair is thicker or you are going to throw a DIY mask party with your friends. I suggest to prepare a portion each time, since most ingredients are fresh and

The Autumn caress

2010-10-04T11:35:00.000+08:00

I feel some obvious changes in the weather after the Mid Autumn Festival. It is cooler and dryer especially in early morning and evening time. The temperature of today is 24c - 29c only. The good weather lightens my mood. Autumn breezes waltz into our cozy flat from the big windows. I sprinkle a few drops of lavender oil onto some dried flowers. We dive into a bay of floral scent in this

Wool/ copper wedding anniversary

Dear Hubby, Happy 7th wedding anniversary!! The traditional gift of 7th year is wool or copper, but I can send you a wool felt doll I made if you like. You are always my best buddy, my most generous sponsor, my best enemy and my most perfect teammate! I love you!

A lovely morning with a facial treatment

2010-09-24T17:03:00.000+08:00

One of the best things being a freelancer is you can have a facial treatment during weekday morning. My appointment was on 10:00am, but my 'beauty consultant' was stuck in a broken bus and should have to be late for 15 minutes. Once I arrived the floor, I found a new Dymocks was open next to the cosmetic shop. I was seemed haunted and walked straight into Dymocks without a second thought. I

Fierce baby beasts

2010-09-22T14:11:00.001+08:00

I bought 2 baby marble-colored baby girl hamsters last weekend. They look extremely adorable, but their 'hamsterailties' are not. I had been bitten by the bigger one early this week when I tried to grab her out. Then when I wanted to bathe the smaller one this morning, she bit me also, and I swung her accidentally under the cabinet. My helper should help me to get her out. Um... they are

Mid Autumn Festival

2010-09-21T22:50:00.000+08:00

Dad in law is still in the hospital, we would celebrate the Mid Autumn Festival with him in the hospital. I get too used to family events, I just take it for granted sometimes. However, now I know having a family gathering is very blissful and precious. It sounds so cliche, but this is really what I feel right now. Dad in law, get well soon. We will go yum cha with you very soon~

Cupcake mania

2010-09-07T22:17:00.000+08:00

After playing the cupcake game in iPad, Linus kept asking me to bake cupcakes for him. I had made a dozen of mini nut cakes with butter cream frosting and lovely sprinkles. Linus ate two cakes, but only the frosting and sprinkles. Lucas ate six. He wolfed down two before I added the topping, another two with the topping, and one of the two I preserved for daddy. They are the key customers of

Cream of tartar!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2010-09-01T19:27:00.001+08:00

跟網上一個recipe做了一個班蘭蛋糕, recipe說要加塔塔粉(cream of tartar). 焗出來的蛋糕很漂亮, 怎知吃起來超級酸, 原來cream of tartar是酸的! 不是檸檬的酸, 是chemical的酸(我聯想到實驗室), 我試了一口塔塔粉, 立刻想吐! 教訓: 1. 儘信recipe不如無recipe! 2. recipe跟男人一樣, 尤其是online結識的, 好多是不可靠! 好嬲!

Homemade craze

2010-08-27T22:10:00.001+08:00

Since my first purchase of homemade soap, my interest on homemade skin care revives. This morning I mixed egg white and several drops of lemon for a skin brightening mask. It was really fun, anything is better than having fun and improving skin condition at the same time? The result? Wow, my skin was softer and more vibrant! I have bought two avocados, is going to try a DIY avocado mask!

Tragedy

2010-08-23T22:44:00.002+08:00

I was busy in the interview room when many Hong Kong people were witnessing the real time broadcasting of the hostage crisis in Manila. When I finished my work at 9:00pm, I checked my facebook and found my friends were grieving what had happened. My heart was pounding quick, I was very shocked even I just browsed the messages of my friends in facebook, I though I would have cried if I watched

Colours flutter around my eyes

To me, buying make up products is an addiction. I just cannot resist the excitement to experience how the shimmers and colours beautifying myself. Every new product is an adventure to me, you do not know the result until you truly apply it on your skin. Sofina ABUE couture designing shine eyes I seldom use eye shadow palate. Several weeks ago, when I walked past Sofina, I saw this brown

Being a stay home mom and a freelancer

2010-08-17T13:50:00.001+08:00

It had been already eight and a half months of being a stay home mom and a freelancer. I am getting used to this living style. Despite sometimes I would still worry about my career development and had a dose of anxiety of my self identity, that 'sometimes' is getting less frequent than the first quarter. A coin has two faces, whatever you choose, you still need to pay an opportunity cost.

Linguine with pesto sauce Shrimp cocktail Cream & tomato soup Salome & fish rod Japanese rice Boule de Neige (almond cookies) Home made chocolate ice-cream I felt so satisfied last night.

Belly dance lesson

2010-08-12T21:57:00.000+08:00

There will be another belly dance class tomorrow, am feeling excited, just couldn't wait!!! Being an anthropology graduate (My professor said I was qualified as an anthropologist already?!!), I have interest to experience other cultures always. Learning belly dance opens a door for me to have a peek of Egyptian culture. I have never been Africa, and I am not sure when I would have a chance,

一抺白麝香

2010-08-10T22:09:00.002+08:00

我讀大學時擁有一瓶Body Shop的White musk eau de toilette, 相信很多女生也擁有過. White Musk有種清雅的香氣, 含蓄細緻, 總讓灑上它的人多潻幾分氣質. 據知, Body Shop推出該香薰系列已經超過廿五年歷史. 出來工作後, 買過很多其他牌子的香水產品, Chanel, Dior, Anna Sui, Stella McCartney, Fresh, Laura Mercier, Marc Jacob, 慢慢忘掉了White Musk的味道. 七月份, 我感冒了整個月, 嗅覺也改變. 不想沾上任何香水. 當病好後, 我就開始掛念White musk的香氣. 這真是一種很奇怪的反應. 昨天跟妹妹逛街, 見到Body Shop, 二話不說便走進去. White Musk的產品以淡紫色為主調, 整齊有致排列在架上. 這次我選了Perfume

Y的故事

2010-08-07T07:43:00.002+08:00

前天送Lucas去summer course, 目睹一名家長向老師大聲疾呼地投訴另一小孩, 因為那小孩推倒他的兒子兩次. 那件事不重要, 我想說是它讓我想起我小學一個男生. 別誤會, 這可不是一個愛情故事. 就叫那男生做Y吧! 他坐在與我有一走廊相隔的左邊. Y留著漫畫牛仔般的留海髮型, 在黑色粗框眼鏡後的眼睛, 閃爍著一種難以捉摸的詭異光芒. 有一段時間, 他常常在沒有問過我的情況下, 取去我桌上的文具使用. 雖然他用後會放回原位, 但我對他這行為有點莫名的不耐煩. 一有天, 我告訴媽媽有關Y的事, 甚至誇張地說他這舉動影響我上課集中精神. 媽媽萬分緊張我的學業, 所以一聽到「影響我上課集中精神」, 便說要跟老師投訴Y. 我當時有點意外, 覺得用不著投訴, 但對媽媽的决定, 又沒有多大反應. 結果, 媽媽投訴了! 當天, 班主任上課前, 喚了坐在我左邊的Y及右邊的男生到她跟前,

病

2010-07-29T16:16:00.002+08:00

2010年7月有5個星期, 我病了4個星期, 發了6日燒. 取消了數個朋友聚會. 我躺在床上, 冒著冷汗. 孩子們衝進房間, 不由分說跳上我的肋骨上, 大聲嚷著媽咪要跟他們一起玩. 我倦極了, 跟他們說媽咪病了, 你們跟菲傭姐姐玩吧. 以前他們不聽, 會硬拉我起來, 但現在他們大了點, 明多一點, 會放我一條生路. 弟弟還會在離開房間時向著空氣宣佈: 「媽咪病病啊!」然後「呯」一聲將門大力關上. 我抱緊枕頭, 覺得皇恩浩蕩, 但又感到自己沒用. 很討厭病了的自己. 慢了十拍的反應, 對任何事都提不起勁, 極度地渴睡. 一副鉛華盡洗的模樣…..天呀! 讓我快點好!!

Plastic shoes

2010-07-22T17:39:00.000+08:00

Crocs had become very popular in Hong Kong for several years. Even Lucas asked me to buy a pair for him. You can see the peer pressure and the so-called fashion trend exists not only among adults but also kindergarten kids. Frankly speaking, Crocs shoes look awful to me, they are bulky, not aesthetic at all, and not very comfortable. However, they have one very strong selling point - the

<我老媽這個人啊> 與 <我老爸這個人啊>

2010-07-15T15:25:00.002+08:00

自從有了Kindle後, 我少了在書局買英文書(因為在amazon.com買Kindle書方便得令人有點心寒), 反而多買了中文書. 有趣的是, 我買中文書比英文書更impulse purchase, 就像買化妝品一樣. 那天, 我在商務見到這兩本<我老媽這個人啊> 與 <我老爸這個人啊>的書, 作者是益田米莉, 由林佩儀譯. 我突然認為我「需要」看日本人寫的書(不只是想, 是一種需要的感覺, 就像突然覺得夏天要買支粉橙色的lip gloss一樣), 便拿起<我老媽這個人啊>, 悄悄地走去付款! 由於很少看這類書, 所以先買一本, 好看才買另一本. 看過1/3後, 覺得 <我老媽>這書極盡幽默,故此我又認為自己有「需要」買下<我老爸>這書 (就是那種你買了X牌子的lip gloss覺得好用, 認為自己有「需要」買下它的同系列眼影一樣), 結果兩星期後, 我又乖乖地買下<我老爸>

我在伊朗長大 1-4 (PERSEPOLIS 1-4)

2010-07-14T12:37:00.003+08:00

這套書是我多年前在書展買的, 那時還是個未有「口靚」模的年代. 我對伊朗的認識, 只停留在女子要披面紗和伊斯蘭原教旨主義(其實原教旨主義本身帶有濃烈西方色彩, 不能完全註釋有關的宗教). 當日我在書展上看到這套書名有趣, 畫功可愛, 封面顏色鮮艷的漫畫書, 便二話不說的買下! (對! 我就是那樣Always judge the book by its cover膚淺的人, but what can you expect from me??) 多年前我已看了頭兩冊, 但我之後沒有看下去, 因為我每看一本也會心酸得哭起來. 或許是Cultural Shock, 又或者只是我眼淺, 但當我看到年紀輕輕的Marjane Satrapi擁有著獨立及開放的思想, 她愛自己的國家但這國家不適合她, 由於革命展開, Marjane的父母送她到奧地利接受教育.

Sickness

2010-07-07T16:40:00.000+08:00

I was sick again after the hand, foot and mouth disease. I got a cold and some coughing I guess, and I had fever for four days. Now I am feeling better, at least I have energy to do typing here. I am wondering how I could survive while I was a working mom in the last three years. I fell into sickness almost once a month. Now is better, around once every two months. Hope I can pull myself

I am totally exhausted

2010-06-25T09:44:00.000+08:00

My back is aching in these few days. I don't know why, I just feel a bit depressed. I find being a stay home mom is extremely exhausted, both mentally and physically. I don't want to say this to others because everyone around you thinks you are a lucky thing and you are having great life because you don't need to work anymore (well, the part time job once a month not count). Sometimes I

An interesting conversation between me and a girl

2010-06-10T23:07:00.005+08:00

I visited Lucas in the kindergarten one day, other kids came to me and asked me to stay with them. One beautiful 3-year-old girl sit next to me. She touched my hair when we were listening a story from a teacher. 'Your hair is very looooong and curly!' she said. I thought it was a compliment, so I replied, 'your hair is also beautiful'. However, she looked at me with a blank expression,

Helper-less days

2010-05-04T16:28:00.000+08:00

One more day to my 18-day of helper-less life. Welcome to the greatest physical and mental challenge.

Illness

2010-05-03T15:13:00.000+08:00

It's confirmed that Lucas is having mouth, hand and foot disease. Luckily he is not severe at the moment.. Linus still has no symptoms, we are wondering if he is strong enough or the symptoms will come soon. Lucas cannot go to school this week, what a coincidence that the project of my freelance work postponed. I would try my best to look after them. Two days more to my helper-less days.

感冒

2010-04-30T13:30:00.000+08:00

這幾天患了感冒, 心情也差透!晚上睡得不好, 大大的黑眼圈掛在面上° 突然想起, 我剛過了三十三歲, 就是這個星期二, 還收到很多facebook friends的 messages, 提醒了我, 我做了這麼多年人, 還有這麼多人跟我說生日快樂, 是很幸運的! 上星期, 爸媽請我去Little Italy慶祝° 這個星期二, 朗朗知我生日立刻抱著我° 謝菲帶了我去山頂餐廳食飯, 很浪漫, 雖然我有感冒加作悶, 但仍享受每一刻! 星期三, 家人即興為我開生日派對, 奶奶對我很好, 買了我愛的雪糕蛋糕及我未試過的和牛! 星期四, 好友珊珊請我食lunch° 晚上, 跟妹妹看29+1° 這麼多開心事, 為何還悶悶不樂呢? 一定是這個重感冒!!! 要快點好!!!!!

March highlights

March was a busy month to me. I started my playwriting course, my freelance work, my first few assignments of the playwriting course, my Kindle arrived, my iPhone arrived. Wow, full of excitements. And thanks that I have a freelance works, and saved me from bankruptcy. I just wrote very few entries in March because I spent all time on Chinese character inputting for my assignments. I

Marshmallow under cold weather

2010-03-10T21:18:00.000+08:00

Hong Kong is getting cold again. To keep Marshmallow warm, I'd put several pieces of cotton in her cage. Then, she transported all cotton back to her little house at the top of the cage. You can see how she built a lovely blanket to surround herself.

Playwriting course

2010-03-09T11:57:00.002+08:00

I have attended the 2nd class of the playwriting course yesterday. Finally, I can work on something I really enjoy!! This course is more theory oriented. We started from the structure of a proper script, we learnt some important elements such as OBJECTIVE, ACTIONS, CONFLICTS, EXPOSITION, INCITING INCIDENT, etc. Playwriting is much more well structured and formulated than I expected. Anyway,

Lazy hamster

2010-03-04T12:26:00.001+08:00

Hamsters are supposed to be energetic, but Marshmallow is an exception. Her daily activities are mainly eating and sleeping. She seldom runs in the exercise wheel. Marshmallow was very tiny when we bought her. After two weeks, she gets 30% bigger. We believe she should do some more exercise, otherwise it is not difficult to develop obesity within the 1 feet x 1 feet x 1 feet cage. So when

好像海綿的綠茶海綿蛋糕

2010-03-01T13:51:00.000+08:00

這是我全家也愛吃的蛋糕° 海綿蛋糕是我第一種做的蛋糕,在這兩年內我已做了差不多十個°有綠茶味,巧克力味等° 真是熟能生巧,這次焗得十分成功,蛋糕鼓得高高的°在爐外看著麵漿慢慢爬升,香味撲出時,我明白我為甚麼沉迷於這玩意° 「看!蛋糕出世了!」我跟朗朗笑說°

"Now you really look like a mom!"

2010-03-01T12:40:00.001+08:00

Two weeks ago, I was standing in front of a kitchen sink, trying hard to remove chocolate stink from a mixing bowl, after making a chocolate lava cake. My domestic helper looked at me, pointed to my nose and said I also got chocolate stink on my nose. Then she laughed and said, "Now you really look like a mom." "What do you mean?" I asked casually, and still kept concentrating on washing the

2010-02-24T15:31:00.000+08:00

我聽著王若琳的新碟 The Adult Storybook,那是她在亞洲巡迴演唱的紀錄。她的 Live performance有種攝人的力量,沙啞的聲音有著滿溢的感性°當她娓娓唱著True時,我想起還是十四歲的我° 其實沒有甚麼浪漫的故事跟這首歌有關,只是當年讀Form 2的我,有一個星期五跟同學到麥記胡扯時,有兩位菲藉姐姐向我們售賣English golden oldies的錄音帶(??!!!),好像是港幣15元°我跟友人竟然各買一盒° 從此,我對英文金曲的眼界開拓了°True,就是這盒帶中我最喜歡的歌之一° 王若琳演譯的True,少了剛陽味,卻多了溫柔°
