End of Year...

2014 coming to the end.

It has been a very very busy year (busy for nothing!?)  read back my blog (with very few entries), and highlights from various FB year end review, i'm glad some of my big plan (like my US) trip realized, small plan like getting more involved in the community is achieving step by step, another happy (in a nutshell) year with Elvin (LOL), and feeling loved throughout the year.

It has been a rough year, especially the 2nd half of the year, getting myself more and more aware and involved of what's happening in the political side of our daily life.  It's very sad to look back, and the current setting for our future, but I also feel like i'm so engaged and it's no way of return.  I never intentionally get up to the very front, without the bravery and guts to be frank, but i'm glad, in times like this i am here in a place call home. 

still call home, for now, and together, with a bunch of buddies who share similar values keeping an eye on my back, making sure I RAN away from tear gas, or guarding me against nonsense violence-abusive police.

I'm grateful, and feel being loved.

with different priorities in life, ppl around "selection" also have a twist, i guess, just like many others in HK.  it's not only about political stand point, but i think, in general, is one's priority and value of life.  As Chinese said, it is different to keep a conversation if 2 don't share the same beliefs.  I think as we grow older we just be a lot more selective who's around and whom to spend time with.

Afterall, we ain't young and don't have the luxury to spend limited time with those who don't treasure us as much as we treasure them....  I am grateful, being loved by sis's in Hawaii, friends in HK, my MBA buddies, my ASAT ex-colleagues, and of coz, my dear friends in US, and many others, who made my 2014 a colorful one.  Although I only have ONE birthday cake this year (and u know this make you 2 so special in my life!).  I also feel very loved for those who came all the way from different areas to just to meet up, a marvelous birthday weekend, and all the tailor made Christmas cards, not to mention, 2 wonderful meal at Jamie's Oliver ;-)

Grateful for 2014.  I hope, 2015 will be a better year.

and i really like watermelon's pict for this year's 903,  seeing this you're the one who came in my mind.  Yes, missing you, even now, yes even though we did meet up in the last day of 2014.  Things moved so quickly old mistake seems to repeat again, heart over head in a nutshell.  All i wanna do now is to enjoy the moment.  At the end no one can guarantee anything, why not at least create some good memories? I want to say thanks, for the positive impact you've given me - even though u're not the only, nor the first one to suggest, but I did take a step and had a dinner w/ my dad, after more than a decade since we did last time.  Thanks, for keeping me company when i was bored during road trip at work, or just being there having a McDonald's sundae together at 3 am after leaving Admiralty Harcourt Road.  All these, I'll never forget in my life, or i should say, I will make sure i won't forget all the details, like few years back.

I don't know how our relationship is heading, but for now, i'm thankful having you back in my life again, and because of you, I feel like I'm a better person (in my perspective anyway).  I hope, in the coming year, we can count down together, and many more to come

我喜歡「想」字，所以在今年的歌曲中，我特別喜歡馮允謙的《我好想你》。這句讓我很膽怯不敢說出的話，讓我可以偷偷在唱歌同時放進自己的心情。開心又糾結，是這句話包含的心情，也是2014年給我的感覺。2015年又會變得怎樣呢？先總結2014年再一齊走吧！

故語有云，一年之計在於春．．．

故語有云，一年之計在於春．．．係唔係太早發夢呢？？真係好想返學校行一轉，睇場波．．．仲有梗喺 Harry Potter Land!!!  唔好意思叫人等太耐呀嘛．．． (so very super sweet of Ed for not going and wait for me even though he has been visiting FL all these times)...

really hope my US trip will be solid this year!!!! cross my fingers!!!!

Year of Horse - busy start!

four days CNY holiday comes to an end and tmr will be starting new job @ tanatax...  looking back and it has been a busy month for 1st month in 2014.  Guess it'll be a busy year ahead and ready to set off again!

Chor 3 - BBQ @ Home - ASAT Reunion after 12 years!

Chor 4 - Ed is back in town - Tea and Ramen @ Habitu & 豚王

Elvin...

THINKING to go to bed and settled Elvin in the bedroom... turned off living room's light and yet working on some ppt slides in the dark...

next thing was that Elvin came back out from the bedroom and chk out why i stayed in the living room...
I asked him why he came out (from the bedroom), petted him and asked him to go back to sleep... then he walks slowly and go back zzz into the bedroom..

from time to time he really drive me nuts, but at the end of the day, he does, understand what i said :)

Life will be tough when it's his time to leave  :(

Very peaceful to listen before bed... thx for sharing transformer :D

FW: 浪漫，又是甚麼？

對於我來說，也許是比較"單純"（自己也忍唔住笑！哈！）我未必知道乜嘢係浪漫。。。不過窩心就都會有嘅。。。 好似

- "無呀，打嚟睇吓你點解咁慘咁夜都未返屋企。。。" （即刻乜慘都 sweet 晒）;P
- "聽見你病咪打你睇吓你點囉。。。食咗藥味呀"（唔病都即刻變得十分非常病得好嚴重）XDDDDDD
- 應承我下次一定會唱我點嘅歌 (冧到震。。。)
- 煮飯仔（無論係你煮定我煮都覺得好幸福啵 (唔好食都變得好食啦）即使洗碗都覺得幸福呀（好變態！有被虐狂）XDDDDDDDDDDDDD
- 修理家裡壞掉的東西時 - 好 man 呀! :D
- 收到一張喺你去旅行時寄返嚟嘅 postcard (although, >90% of the time 你個人返咗你張 postcard都未見影）

其實好多時候都無話特別要做 D 乜。。。簡單到可能只係喺 coffee shop 一齊飲咖啡，雖然可能你有你睇你嘅書，我有我做功課。。。just being there, feel 幸福啦（不過大家唔好對號入錯座。。。當然係只有當時那個 "他" 做我先會覺得幸福／窩心。。。其他的你、你、你。。。未免想得太多了！ XDDDDD)

P.S. Feel sad for the divorce lady at the end of the story though, really 對人歡笑背人愁。。。

浪漫，又是甚麼？
請用10個字形容一下浪漫。

甚麼？哪怕是10個字，3個字也嫌多。浪漫，不就是浪漫嘛！

沒錯，浪漫是一種感覺，一種feel。而你一搬FEEL這四個字母出來，已可說是天下無敵，人人都拿你沒輒。
那麼，怎樣會令你「覺得很浪漫」？要對方做些甚麼、配備甚麼道具，才會讓你忍不住心裡喊一聲：「好浪漫呀！」

以現代最cliché的標準，浪漫的道具不外乎鑽石、玫瑰、燭光晚餐、沙灘+浪花；浪漫的行為例如在地鐵大聲講我愛你、買下時代廣場大電視的兩分鐘時間叫你做老婆豬、當眾自彈自唱那首專誠為你而學的歌、又或者，學織冷衫，給你織件雖鴛鴦袖卻很窩心的溫暖牌。

我們被毒到這個地步，就是說如果朋友甜笑著跟你說她的另一半帶備以上其中一種道具做了以上其中一種行為，你即使心裡不甚了了，也要應酬式地回應一句：「嘩你就好啦男朋友咁浪漫！」

為了尋找浪漫的真締，我向幾個朋友查詢她們對上一次「覺得浪漫」是甚麼時候──

A：「我跟他逛city’super，你也知道他買日用品從來不看價錢，那天他竟然在揀鹽時格價！那一刻我忽然覺得前途很光明！很浪漫！」

B：「那天呀~我的M來得很凶，我痛得腰都伸不直了，家裡的巾巾剛好又用光，他居然自己提出替我去買！雖然很痛，卻痛有所值喔！」

C：「我那位，唉，完事之後他比我晚睡著我已經覺得很浪漫很皇恩浩蕩的啦！」（對上一次是幾時？）「我們第一次做的那晚。」

D：「其實每次我看著他修理家裡壞掉的東西時，都會有浪漫的感覺湧上腦。例如前天電視機沒畫面，他去拍了幾下機身畫面又出來了！」

E：「他每天都會準時來電提醒我吃藥，有時我也會嫌煩啦！有天他真的沒來電話，等呀等呀，心裡在罵他沒良心。三個鐘後他打來問我藥吃了沒，我氣得問他『死咗去邊』，原來他出了車禍斷了腿躺醫院呢！那一刻眼淚自自然然就滾出來了。」

F：「我在一家養了很多流浪貓的書店裡，遇到一位老伯伯坐著看書，一隻黃貓在他懷中睡得很香！天！這畫面真的太浪漫了！」（你會不會離題太遠？你多久沒拍拖了？）

綜合她們的意見，浪漫，首先是對方突然做一些平常不會做、而你心裡卻很想很想他做的事情；第二點更重要，就是對方的言行令你對將來有憧憬有盼望，覺得跟他一起活下去是件很有意思的事。

雖然每個女人都是吃感覺的奶大，但不是每個女人都想做射燈下的drama queen。浪漫的形式有很多種，而且很多時候是存在於細眉細眼的日常生活小節裡，要靠你自己去發掘。

想起一個早前因為被老公家暴而申請離婚的朋友說過，別人都覺得她前夫很浪漫很有情趣，生日和情人節都很給力，送大大束的花到她公司讓她「有得威」。而她說，去年的情人節他又送了一百支玫瑰到公司，當天晚上回到家裡一言不合又被他很給力的打到豬頭一樣。

第二天要告假的她，同事們還以為她跟老公昨晚浪漫大戰得太激烈呢！

聖誕卡 - 多年來"堅守"嘅 Tradition

十分同意 :) 也是我多年來"堅守"Tradition" 嘅意思 :)

Sending my 2nd batch of Christmas cards today (ha, to classmates - my 6 senses, jan, clara & how)

Merry Christmas, to those i care and care about me in the last year, and the yrs before... :)

我恒我訴：聖誕卡

剛收到今年第一張聖誕卡，是來自教會裏一位十歲的小妹妹。那天，見她捧着一大疊賀卡，逐一派發，親口送上誠意的祝福，場面很是感人，亦提醒我聖誕節快到了。

我也曾經飾演過同一個角色。那個年頭，臨近聖誕，媽媽總會給我一筆額外的零用錢，然後我便跑到街角的文具店，站在那高高的木架前，就着手上的「Budget」，揀選心儀的聖誕卡：普通同學仔，送五毫子一張的便足夠；交情好一點的，送一元的吧；好兄弟和班主任會送三元的，打開時會彈出立體聖誕樹；手上剩餘的十元，會用來買兩張「音樂卡」，送給父母和一位最要好的同學。

小學生的世界既純真又直接（亦可以說很勢利），既然聖誕卡有「等級」之分，一班同學的關係圖，就此表露無遺：會互送聖誕卡的便是朋友，沒有的便不是；又或我當他是「死黨」，但他只送我最普通的一款，便知道「此情不再」。每年，總有人會眼紅，有人會失望，有人會因為收到的卡太少而落淚，一班同學的關係，便可能因一個聖誕節而大大改變了。

回到家中，又會與弟弟比併，看看誰的「聖誕卡龍」最長。可惜，這條龍一年比一年的短，後來更徹底消失了。到了今天，那張卡是五角的還是五元的已不再重要，最值得珍惜的，是有人仍會特地為你挑選一張實實在在的聖誕卡，親手寫上祝福，在信封寫上你的名字，單是這樣，已夠感恩。

親愛的錡錡，多謝你的「守護蛋精靈」聖誕卡，雖然我沒有看過這套卡通片，但仍衷心多謝你的心意，願我們的主一生守護你！

2010 Birthday - Filled with LOVE!

yeh, it came a little late for this yr's birthday recap (and it has been 2 wks since my birthday) *LOL* well, since the so-called birthday celebration didn't "officially" end until yesterday - Carol's treat @ Cafe Gray on 49/F Upper House Pacific Place :-)

REALLY CRAZY this yr - REALLY a WHOLE MONTH's celebration!! hahaha.. I'm really very glad, and feel very blessed, for the ones around (physically), or just a fb msg away :-) VERY grateful for the love, from family, old friends and new friends. Here comes this yr's recap:


the month is really fully packed ga! LOL

• 2010-11-07 – Hot Pot @ Ken's w/ Marco
  
  The birthday "celebration" started on Nov 6 - well, original was just hotpot @ Ken's w/ marco & ken's family - turn out these guys remember and had an early celebration for my birthday!!! woo hoo~~ I can't believe the guys remember my birthday!! hehehe my 1st birthday cake in 2010 - Maxim's Tiramisu cake! love!
  
  
• 2010-11-11 – Singing karaoke with Canossian:
  
  
  AGAIN, this is not exactly a celebration of my birthday but doesn't hurt to get discount for the birthday gal! hahahaha... had a blast!
  

• 2010-11-11 – Family Dinner Nov 11
  
  Since have to align with everyone's schedule had the birthday dinner a littler earlier - and mom got me a Cova Tiramisu birthday cake – yummmmmmmmmmmm!!! :D

• 2010-11-12 – Hotpot and drinks w/ my MBA classmates
  
  It was meant to be another dinner gathering as both clara and I are "Nov birthday stars" - turns out Jan, Clara & Howard gave me my 3rd birthday cake - Maxim's Devil cake!!!
  
  It's really amazing how close we get in such a short time. It's not only about hw time but we did hang out very often lately (every wkend as a matter of fact). Yes, maybe they're just "wine meat friends" as time goes, but I really feel the love and caring from them.
  
  LOVE!
  

• 2010-11-13 – HK MBA Mixer drinks
  
  okay, this is not really for my birthday celebration either LOL, but this is right before my official birthday dinner w/ the gangs. Didn't really get much “networking” w/ other school students (too many there), but instead I did get to catch up with my other wkend mode classmates. nice :)
  

• 2010-11-13 – my official birthday dinner w/ Yekini, Alison, Kim and Paul!
  
  I chose an Italian restaurant Vivi - EXCELLENT service, food is good (although paul's still better) - yet just had a blast with marvelous food (pizza, mushroom and ham risotto, and lobster spaghetti!!) with my FOURTH birthday cake from Mrs. Field's Cookie - thanks Kim, and just a wonderful time to spent together :-)
  
  After dinner (~23ish) Alison and I also went k - together w/ Aquarius. My gosh got so drunk that night - 2 dozens of beers (in addition to the wine consumed in the MBA drinks and Vivi's dinner). Oh, not to mention, a birthday kiss (on the cheek of course!) hahaha LOL
  

• 2010-11-14 – Birthday trip to Ocean Park
  
  Free entry on birthday!! Visited the panda and whole bunch of other animals. and this is the new ride (the train).. but ha, kinda disappointed. HAD GREAT time w/ yekini and zita
  

• 2010-11-15 - Natasha's Japanese food treat!
  
  I really treasure the bond w/ Natasha. Although we may be living in 2 different worlds nowadays, and that, every time i feel kinda sad for seeing her (er.. complicated). but still, very nice to hang out w/ a friend used to be so close from time to time. Love ya!
  

• 2010-11-20 - 6 senses reunion @ Lisa's + Birthday celebration for me and Betty
  er.. i erased the picts by accident (can't upload from work.... ) well, will post that later. :-)
  
  AGAIN, very amazing how close we got after 5 wks intensive class. i'm very grateful to be in such a GREAT team and can be friends together. LOVE!
  

• 2010-11-27 - Carol's birthday treat at Cafe Gray, 49/F Upper House Pacific Place
  
  
  ha, this is the OFFICIAL last event for my BIRTHDAY celebration (although, in between filled with eating buddy dinner @ Hooray (another marvelous view place) / lunch with jack & elsie / another CRAZY birthday dinner + drinks for Clara). ANYWAY, Carol is so nice to take me to this $$ place with MARVELOUS view! more importantly is that we got a great time just to catching up! ;-)

This year, officially 30 sth (LOL), my birthday MONTH is filled with LOVE, with many who loves me, from different "diameters" circles of friends. A lot of partying, yet, more importantly, my recent life is filled w/ ppl who loves me - not only those "wine+meat" friends, but many who actually cares and loves me (in various degree). I'm truly gratefuly, life is good to me, and indeed this is one of the best birthday ever!! :-)

Birthdays recap:

2009 - i guess it wasn't the best time - no entry!?
2008 - not much blogged either.. bummer!

Wine Fest 2010 @ Kowloon West

post this a bit late.. only got all the copies from Isaac tonite :)

Went to the annual Wine Fest last Friday (Oct 29). Last year visited w/ Kim, Wah and Paul but since this yr they've to prepare for the JP trip they couldn't join :( But oh well, i had GREAT FUN w/ my "Wine Ghost +Fine Dining" buddies :)))

Thanks for Issac + Meiji, On On + bil mui, Christine, Anson and of course my dear classmate Howard for such a great time! Enjoyed a lot and can't wait for next wine ghost gathering!! :DDDD (and hopefully Carol can join us next time)

Happy happy happy~~ :)

下一站。。。北海道？？？？

hmm... still have like 9 months to go... let's see.....

心跳加速

都唔記得上一次是什麼時後突然覺得心跳加速 (i mean, for that 10 WHOLE seconds, okay, i don't know, maybe less, but feels long) LOL, but definitely not sth I had "encountered" in the last 6 months (well, at least not that i could remember) LOL

當一個男人好誠懇地用雙手捉住你嚟應承你一D嘢時，無論事請大小（有幾無聊／雞毛蒜皮嘅事都好），真係會冧到暈o架!!!

I know i shouldn't even be excited - after all it's me who's 洩咗呀！ ahahahahahha

ANYWAY, as Gerry said, still a good memory LOL

所有的節日禮品，不在乎味道，是在乎心意。。。

Agree w/ 陳俊偉 that the mooncake is all about "在乎心意". Although, of course, in some sense it's very 一廂情願 for me to think that it's "sweet"...

今年中秋並沒有什麼特別嘅安排，除了因為要在課室中渡過外（咩學校嚟 ga，中秋都要上堂上到 9 點幾，仲未計放學後要傾 project。。。傾傾傾傾到成十一點幾先返家。。。), So anyway, 今年就連最"行貨"嘅 BBQ / Hot Pot 等活動諗都無諗過安排 - 真的是太忙了~~

只望多了一天不用上班可 catch up 一下功課 Orz...

Well actually it wasn't really THAT bad. Turned out last Friday I got all the ready-to-make Icy Mooncake ingredients and try my FIRST ICY MOONCAKE EVER - it was a blast and just to fool around here and there. And thanks for Yekini to come and help out *LOL*

Although someone said he got stomach ache after eating TWO of them (my friend of course la, how can you eat so much at one time ga!! 諗返都真係覺得幾搞笑！) hahaha... luckily someone's mom who happened to eat at the same time don't have any problems jae...

都係果句，係食果個人嘅問題囉，同我 D 冰皮月餅完全無關！。。。 XDDDD

hehehe j/k... at least he isn't too sick or anything like that... XD

I still haven't eat the traditional one this year, hopefully to have some when i got home tonite - well, i mean AFTER tutorial Orz... Well anyway, happy mid-autumn festival~~ (although it's way past it!) XD LOL... and hopefully next year i got someone to share the mooncakes - together...

低等生活：錯過中秋節

由於近三星期都在海外工作，不少事情皆要遙控處理，包括電郵、訊息、信件、包裹，還有月餅──是的，月餅是需要「處理」的。

執筆之時，尚未到中秋節，但已經肯定要在歐洲度過月圓之夜。月餅卻打從四星期前開始陸續送來，有些拜託朋友接收，有些索性推掉，以免月餅留在負責收件的商務中心封塵再發霉。部分酒店改作寄出月餅換領券，要領取歡迎之至，沒空提貨便省卻浪費。

月餅，像所有的節日禮品，不在乎味道，是在乎心意。收到一盒月餅，就知道某人仍然記得我，在一個貨如輪轉、人來人去的集體失憶城市，能夠被記得是一件不錯的事。偶爾從數年未有合作的朋友處得到月餅，更帶「有朋自遠方來」的驚喜。所以，對我來說，是雙黃蓮蓉或金華火腿五仁冰皮豆茸或朱古力雪糕餡都無所謂。當然啦，若果是某某老牌酒店中菜廳的迷你曲奇皮奶黃月餅，就更好。

中秋不在港，間中無可避免，畢竟中秋節不是Global節日，而且並非是很壞的事。某年在澳洲阿得萊德度中秋，我和新加坡記者為隆重其事，跑到唐人街購買「單頭」月餅一個，在當地某著名餐廳晚飯後拿出來，像生日蛋糕般切成多份，配上澳洲甜酒當甜品享用。同枱的澳洲導遊是「月餅處女」，品嘗過後十分喜歡，覺得可媲美芝士餅或焦糖布甸。換個角度，原來月餅可打入西方甜品Menu。
