Durian Pancake

I will never eat the durian pancake. I had a wonderful dinner with mui and mui's colleague, marie, a french girl. After the dinner, mui wanted to show her the chinese style dessert. Therefore, we visited the Ming Kee at Tin Hau. We ordered the Durian Pancake as Marie wanted to taste Durian, so .... we ordered one. Sure, we both felt that the taste of Durian was really strong and we couldn't finish it all. On my way back home, my stomatch kept on producing some gas which I could smell the Durian inside my stomatch. It is not yet started of my horrible experience. After I went back home, I felt my stomatch like 'twisting' .. I had to stay in the toilet for over 30 mins and I didn't have energy to walk after 30 mins battle in the toilet. I couldn't get a good sleep coz my stomachache was getting strong .... I wake up in the midnight and wanted to vomit, but failed to vomit the durian stuff from my mouth. I cried while I vomited (not because I felt so painful, it was one of my body reflection I guess). At that moment, I know that I will not take durian anymore coz I feel so scared to touch it. The smell kepts on coming out from my stomatch but couldn't digest it ... that's a torture in my eyes.
So ....................................... Durian is one of my favourite fruits but not anymore now coz of this reason. That's horrible!

By the way, I should get a 1 day sick leave to cure my 'durian-panic' sick. >_< ... still feel not comfortable of my stomatch ... ayee.

Confidence

Puzzling, heistate on life direction, scare to make decisions, no confidence to chase for what we love .... who didn't have this problem when we were young? Chat with friend's sister, she lost confidence to take the offer coz' one of the interviewers questioned her ability on design subject. Being one of her sister's friend, I could only share more my feelings and thoughts with her. Be frank, I got the same experience before. I got a job which I love but I didn't have confidence to pick it. At last, I didn't accept the offer. I knew the power of 'lack of confidence'. This is what happen in 2004.

When I looked back, I would not make the same decision. I must take the offer now. Learn from this experience, I know that I will go for my love and interest if there is a chance. I prefer to lose after I tried it, rather than feeling regret to let the chance gone. Sometimes, we should have guts to make the move. What is right? What is wrong? noone can tell and judge our life except ourselves. We are not living for other people. Doesnt' mean that we don't respect others, what I am doing, just try to strike a balance between what I want in my life and live harmony with other people and the world. I will have confidence to make the decision when I know that no harm to get lose. Not all the things / time we have to get win, or we have to be a successful person. Life is an experience, no win or lose, no right or wrong, just experience it. Through the experience, I can find what I want and understand more about myself. Finally ....... I know the meaning of my existence in this world, maybe .. becoz' my father needs me ... or .. I can save ar Bo's life ......... I can enjoy a happy moment with my friends ........... it maybe just a part of my life experience, but this is one of the reasons why I am here.

So .................... at last, what's the big deal if we get loose ? what's the big deal to make stupid move? Nope ........... just experience it. You will know more.

* Best wishes to my love Fare Wong and her baby. I feel so touching after read Li Ngai Pang's blog ... "我们希望我们的女儿将来也能面对她的人生。我们希望当有异样眼光看她的时候，她能还以自信而热情的微笑，那她才是降临到这个世界的神灵" ......... I believe their baby is a lucky gal coz' her parents love her so much.

Cooking for my Dad

  

My dad didn't enjoy much when dining out, that's why I came out an idea to cook at home for celebrating his birthday. He felt happy about this idea ( I guess he do trust his daughter alot even she did cook for around 4 times since the date she born :P)

Here are the menu on last Sunday:
1. 白灼蝦
2. 蒸魚（芝麻班）
3. 蒜蓉炒菜
4. 香橙骨
5. 猴頭菇湯

I jumped to prepare the food since 2:30 pm with Billy. We both carried a backpack to shop the materials. All the things I got at PnS (MY LOVELY PNS), I think I got the potential to be a housewife as I did love to shop at PNS. Maybe shopping is my habit in any place at any time. [laugh loudly]. Turn out we bought nice shrimp and fish at PnS. Billy kept on yelling coz' he had to pick up all dirty and heavy stuff for me, keke.

So ................. everything's ready, I started my cooking fr. 6:30pm and made all dishes at 7:35pm. In my eyes, I wonder I cooked for over 2 hours as it was not an easy task. I had to clean the cooking plate and 'WOK' many times. Suddenly, I think I shouldn't complain my mum's cooking as it is not easy to cook in such a hot and tiny kitchen.

My dad and grandmum's comment is that I put too many sugar to make the sauce of 香橙骨. I intended to make it look like 金沙骨, so I deep fried for around 15 mins long. My grandmum spot that I used the metal 'Wok' to fry the orange bone, then she kept on saying that I was stupid as noone fry the food by the metal 'Wok' [dropping tears]. My dad, billy, grandmum ...... were very straight forward to comment my food ....... for over 15 mins long ........ In my mind, I just felt like taken 120 mins hot yoga and didn't want to think but lying on my sofa.

In this crazy night, full of noise, comments and dog's bike (actually, during the time I was cooking, bobo always stayed behind me ....... sure he didn't support me, he just tried to grap something if I was accidentially dropped the food on the floor ! he is god damn smart!) , I finished my job and my dad felt so happy (can tell from the no. of beer cans on the table, :P). I do believe that cooking is not an easy task, it is an art and you have to handle many things on the same time. You have to be organize and made the right move (e.g. when to put sugar.. use what equipments .. etc) for making the tasty food. I do suggest parents should let their child to learn cooking, it is one of the ways to teach them how to organize the work and make their decision. We should respect the chief and our mum, the thing seems so easy but it is not what we think until experience it.

I will try to practise more in my cooking skill .... so that I can cook a nice food to my love, my family and my friends............... I am afraid my friends are sweating now [da da da] and onone loves me anymore :P

Deadman walking

Felt like a deadman after met my boss. He loves to review my performance bi-weekly and turn out the result is .... he found that I still have to improve my intuitive sense in analysis operational flow, even many documents or information show the existence of the flow, if it doesn't make sense, I have to question it before draw down the conclusion. Simply speaking, don't trust on what you read but think it deep and twice. I admit that it is one of my weakness points (exclude the part that I don't have solid experience on ERP and Supply Chain subject) so that I agreed with his comments this time. As long as he already fired 2 new comers and 1 long-term staff in 1 month, I may feel a bit worry ... will I be the next one? :P

SO ......................... after the meeting, I decided to take a walk alone. Even I have to carry a bag weighted over 3 lbs, I did walk my way to home. It is really interesting to spot many nice and quiet living estates near my office, there is no any tall buildings but grows many trees near them. It is definitely a place for me to relief my stress. It drews my attention to something new so that I forgot the worry, hahhaha. I just looked like a backpacker to travel alone in a strange place. Too bad I didn't have a camera so that I can take the picture. At that moment, I do think that I should get my dream snap shot camera. I fall for this little baby when I touched it in Julia's wedding (as Wing got one). It was too expensive but it is affortable now. I promised myself, I will buy this as my BD gift [laugh loudly].

If .......... well........ my boss do fire me, I think it is not a big deal. Why I drew this conclusion, .... I got such thought after listen this song in my way home...sure this song can apply on MANY CASES .. like .. lost wallet, dog screw me, scolded by my mum or my dog ..... ate dirty food to make me feeling sick ... hahhaha. well ..... serious, I love this song coz' It gives me an insight to look the bad things in another way. Noone can make me feeling bad but only me. Being positive! [yuck] very old fashion wording :P

落花流水 作曲：Eric Kwok / Eason Chan｜填詞：黃偉文｜編曲：Eric Kwok / Jerald｜監製：Eric Kwok / Jerald / Eason Chan
流水　像清得沒帶半顆沙
前身　被擱在上游風化
但那天經過那條提壩
斜陽又返照閃一下　
遇上一朵　落花
相遇　就此擁著最愛歸家
生活　別過份地童話化
故事　假使短過這　五月落霞
沒有需要　驚詫
流水很清楚　惜花這個責任
真的身份不過送運
這趟旅行若算開心
亦是無負這一生
水點　蒸發變做白雲
花瓣　飄落下游生根
淡淡交會過　各不留下印
流水　在山谷下再次分岔
情感　漸化做淡然優雅
自覺心境已有如明鏡
為何為天降的稀客　
泛過一點　浪花
天下　並非只是有這朵花
不用　為故事下文牽掛
要是　彼此都有些　既定路程
學會灑脫　好嗎
流水很清楚　惜花這個責任
真的身份不過送運
這趟旅行若算開心
亦是無負這一生
水點　蒸發變做白雲花
瓣　飄落下游生根
命運敲定了　要這麼發生
講分開　可否不再　用憾事的口吻
習慣無常　才會慶幸
講真　天涯途上　誰是客散席時　怎麼分
流水很清楚　惜花這個責任
真的身份不過送運
這趟旅行若算開心
亦是無負這一生
水點　蒸發變做白雲
花瓣　飄落下游生根
淡淡交會過　各不留下印
但是經歷過　最溫柔共震

My friend ming said that it is not healthy if my friend seldom left me message on my blog. Sometimes, I wonder........ noone read it , kakakkaaka.

工廠妹

剛剛買了一個小蒙恬的手寫板,反應不錯, 能在短時間內辦認字體, 真是懶人的最佳選擇。但論速度，始終不及速成輸入法。所以我倆者兼備，便萬無一失，哈哈。想起日後要用中文寫用戶手冊，我已想立即辭職．．．

昨天收到瑪姬之來電，問我可否做一晚工廠妹，幫呀堅穿膠花？！！原來，呀堅需要在今個星期四前完成９００件禮品。每件禮品都要串上額外訂做的label，用線穿上Label, 然後掛在禮品上。最要命的是，要在二天內完成！！我、瑪姬和呀堅一邊看電影一邊「穿膠花」，製作途中，呀堅也忍不住笑，由十時至二時，不停的做．．．真的很疲累，但是很有趣的經驗。想深一層，做工廠妹也不容易。如果每天都需要做同樣的工作，一日復一日，真的是度日如年，並不好受。我們只是做一天「穿膠花」，當然覺得很新鮮有趣．．．錢，是不容易賺的！

穿完膠花後，有意外的收獲，呀堅請我們吃了一頓順德菜，順德鮮魚舫，好好味！特別是那個魚頭湯，好味到難以形容。^_^

Dining Out

When I was working at HK Island, I loved to go out to have a dinner gathering with Mui and ... well..... other buddies. (but he is gone) . Anyway, recall from my memories, some of the dining places in Central are really nice which I would like to recommend right here.

蓮香樓Lin Heung Tea House 廣東菜 中環威靈頓街160-164號

Still some of the places I didn't record here coz' ... too many good dining place in Central. I miss Central so much (esp. no nice dining or lunch place at Cheung Sha Wan, that's a ghost area in my eyes). No problem, I will try my best to source more interesting food in CSW :)

Central, I MISS YOU MUCH , YOU ARE SO 'YUMMIE'

Wedding Picture

I always feel excited to read my friend's wedding picture. Having checked many wedding pictures, this is the one

I feel quite comfortable coz' it is quite natural. Maybe the bride didn't wear heavy make up, and the 'husband' looks like stephen hawking in the pic :P (which means, he shows his natural real face on the pic, check it on the left hand side, KAKA).

Maybe ..... people will ask me, what's my feeling when reading his wedding picture ... hm ....... i can tell you, just feel funny and interesting esp. looking at some intimacy pictures. it do recall me his another side when he is dealing with someone he loves, hahha. well ....... I do feel glad that he finds the one he loves and decide to take further steps with this gal.

No matter what, all the best to Geek. I guess my greeting to him is the best wedding gift, coz' i didn't make a spell on him, kakka (actually, making a spell now) [dark face]

When I am reading friend's wedding picture, I always think about will I do the same if I get marry (If i m lucky to get marry :P ) definitely, I will not take the "fake' one, which means, I hate to hold the post for over 5 mins and then take the ugly heavy makeup pictures. Don't even push me to wear heavy make up, no matter how bad of my skin [huh!] I prefer to take pictures to reflect the real situation and lovely moments with my hubby. I think, i prefer the natural one. that is, the pictures in my wedding day or wedding ceremony, black and white, or pic in strong color contrast, that's my favourite, kekeek. so ....... i haven't met my dream wedding pictures till ....... so ..... drop the ideas to take wedding pictures.

Freaking hell ! I found my eyes are so puffing which scare me to death ! that's why i boiled 2 eggs to cure my little eyes. I have no idea why I got such a BIG BIG eye bags and puffling eyes so easily ........................................... WHY?WHY ME? [squeezing]

** Someone requested me to upload his wife's picture on my blog as he feels not comfortable to being cut a half !!!!!!!! well .................. i would like to do it but seems blogger is suck ...... i tried to upload it over 10 times but still cannot display the pic there ............................... maybe i will try it later. coz' i don't want to receive a 'friendly reminder' twice a day, wondering my MSN got a bug !
