My New Year Prayersss AKA New Year Wishessss

30 minutes to end the year of 2011..... and I thank God for giving me a healthy and peaceful year.

Life is never perfect, men are not as good, things don't happen in the way I wish....but still, I thank God for guiding me through, bad and sick, poor and anger.  I also thank God for giving me chances to passing through His test, though I have given Him endless disappointments since I was born.

Please forgive me....and I am praying here for guiding me to become a better me, a happier me, a healthier me, a tears free me and the last but not least please guide us through our 2nd 10 years of married life, simply filling with happiness, good health, laughters and LOTS AND LOTS OF OVERSEAS VACATION! (Hahahaha....)

p/s: My 1st new year gift, cuttie little red hot rabbit pouch with nougats from Tracy.  Thank you! Dear.

跟屁虫

有些人真得很让人讨厌。明明是抄袭， 却在那里扮无辜， 明明是只是追随者， 却在众人前show off 兼领功，你说什么, 他换个方式学着你的语气, 所以耳边常围绕着似曾相识的话语，真是。。。脸皮是厚到。。。

更盛的是有事没事就promote 自己，实在是。。。SPEECHLESS！

跟老公提起此事,  他说没办法，有人就爱拾人牙慧。我说呢，他只不过是个不折不扣的跟屁虫！！！

走开啦！讨厌的跟屁虫!

Leave us alone, will you???

Why? Why were we the chosen one? :'(

The stupid thieves left me their shoes prints! That's my printout on Public Rulings where I was reading half way and was left on the floor that morning.

I would think it's "they" as they had little time "fooling around" in our house but they stole a great amount of valuables.  Hurting me so much when I found our wedding rings are gone!!! :'( Still crying loudly in my heart... So painful too for loosing some other memorable items which were my collections since I was small.  Sigh! Sigh! Sigh!

Please...thieves, thieves, go away! We have nothing for you anymore!!!

Blueberry Friands

在忙碌的生活之中, 抽些时间查看几位美食大师的精心杰作, 再看看美食台, 也还真能 balance 下不平衡的心态。

而后遗症就是每天都在幻想自己有个设备齐全, 厨具，食材都齐全的厨房，让我也能施展下 kitchen magic。那。。在没能让梦想实现的当儿, 只好借用老妈的厨房，做些简单的小食咯！就先来上一个蓝梅小杯蛋糕吧!

这是月前老妈帮我带回小妹帮我找到的 Silicone Muffin Case, 五彩缤纷的颜色让人看了超开心的。。。

迫不及待, 快快找着个简易的甜点食谱,  就在妈妈的橱房里忙了起来。。。 

Blueberry Friands ~ Originated from 200 mini cakes & bakes by Hamlyn all colour cookbook

这是原创的照片，让我一眼就决定了她。。。

似摸似样的学着做。。。 

 也可以放上 Raspberry 唷！色泽超漂亮的。。。

是不是有很幸福的感觉？^ ^

 二十分钟之后就可以享用咯！紧张! >o<'

 哈!哈! 超开心的。。。不差哦！;) 很不错的成果，是吧？
我做的比原创减了不少糖霜的份量，emmm...还得再减些才行!

下次再把糖霜的分量减少许, 就应该 perfect 了!

A BIG SIGH!!!

Life is....miserable....  This is how I describe my life in recent years.

Just read an article via forwarded mail about different blood type with different human behaviour.  I strongly agreed on one character from my blood group, ie "I AM ALWAYS RUNNING OUT OF TIME"!!!  I wonder why???  My mum asked me why.....and I have been asking myself billions of time. Why? Why? Why?

I really don't know.... I have been living in a lousy lifestyle for years....when I have my nap, I can't help but to set alarm to wake me up even on a free Sunday afternoon; when I fall sick, I try to get up and finish my daily routine before I lie down again; when I hang out with friends at night, I will check on my watch helplessly; and now even if I have an hour or so for TV show every night, I just can't relax by sitting there tightly....guess, I have my cookbook on my lap or flipping through newspaper or even making a simple jelly recipe at the same time.....Gosh!

I find myself living with a clock clicking around my ears....chasing me, punishing me, reminding me my time is up!!!

Do I wish to live like this?  OH OH OH ...NO!  NO!  NO!  Definitely NOT!!!

But how to change it???  Another question that I have been asking myself thousands & millions of time.

Oh! Well, I guess it's hardly for me to make changes, if I stick with my current job and if I can't have my own nest....SIGH!!!!!

Cool..huh!

超棒的博客 ^ ^

Bisous A Toi ~ 近日流连忘返的部落格！真是太喜欢，太羡慕了!

博客美美的照片，写意的生活点滴，都是吸引我每天都想查看她的新动向的魅力所在。尤其特别喜欢她拍摄的食物照片。。。好像把色香味也捉住了! 非常棒！最厉害的是那些甜品, 糕粿等都是照顾小孩之余的成品。

那天刚好和同事聊起做巧克立杯糕。。。我便把这个超级部落格介绍给她。 兴趣浓浓的她没到两天便跟着食谱开工。还一连做了四次, 为的是想要拿捏最精准的烘烤时间, 以便能品尝到湿润适中，柔滑适中，甜淡适中的 Nutella Mug Cake 是也!

[遇见] Rima, 还得谢谢另一个也令人艳羡的美食博客, Jane Chew!

希望很快的我也能像两位大师那样快乐的在厨房里鑚动，烘烤幸福的甜点, 妈妈的菜肴。。。

Eee... 看来本尊所拍的照片以玩玩的性质来看的话。。。是还可以哦！哈! 哈! 有点自我陶醉 ;p

Pepero Day

Today, 11/11, is the lovely Pepero Day!  It's Valentine's Day in Korean way and we were told by the locals during our 2nd honey moon (^ ^) in year 2006.

It's our last day for the 8 days Korea trip and we have been given a few hours for our last shopping spree before transferring to airport.   We were strolling along the streets...the air was cooling, red hot maple leafs flaked away in the breeze, and we could see many stalls / shops were selling pepero.  One of MY FAVOURITE SNACKS!  Oh my....look at the varieties, the flavors, the colors, the sizes and the lovely packaging of course.  My eyes were so busy finding and picking my right choice because I could only bring back a limited amount of them.

Now, which one to pick?  Chocolate, nude (chocolate in the center) or chocolate almond?  These were what I usually bought from local stalls.  Hey!  Look!  There were strawberry, Cocoa, Cheese, some sticking with colourful chocolate rice, ....all kinds.  Oh no...which one, which one, my mind was so confused.  And finally, this was one of my victories!!!  Hehehe!

Why Pepero Day?  The locals said it's named after the Pepero, cookie stick dipped in chocolate syrup and manufactured by Lotte Confectionery in South Korea since 1983.  It's on 11 of November because 11/11 is just like four sticks of Pepero.

That explained why we saw Pepero everywhere in the local supermarkets during our whole trip.

Oh! Dear...I am craving for the chocolatey cookie stick again. =) Right now!!!  And I gotta enjoy my cookies while flipping through my photo albums and....to recall my sweet Pepero memory in Korea. :)

lOveLy!  And I just love the chocolate sticks!  ...since long long time ago... 

Wikipedia explained Pepero Day as ~

** The Pepero Day is observed mostly by young people and couples, who exchange Pepero sticks, other candies, and romantic gifts.  Lotte denies starting the holiday and instead states that they noticed a bump in Pepero sales around November 11th and after continued popularity they decided to then encourage the holiday with special gift boxes and other promotions.  Some consider it to be a contrived holiday and some teachers have encouraged children to exchange healthy snacks to help combat obesity.
According to one story, Pepero Day was started in 1994 by students at a girls' middle school in Busan, where they exchanged Pepero sticks as gifts to wish one another to grow "as tall and slender as a Pepero".

Report for sales in 2008 :  Lotte usually does about 55% of their Pepero business in November every year.  **

入秋之后的旅行狂想曲 (4) 之梦幻游日最终回

子弹火车( 新干线) ~ 从东京都至大阪城只须时十五分钟, 可让人真正体会到追风的感觉哦!

第十五站 大阪 (Osaka)

到达大阪后, 我们一行人直奔心斋桥. 全长六百公尺的心斎桥筋商店街是大阪著名商业购物区, 位于大阪府大阪市中央区. 全街由遮雨棚盖住, 不受气候影响, 所以无论晴天, 阴天, 黑夜, 白昼, 都有一堆堆的人群挤在街面尽享购物的快感. 因为街道实在是好长, 好长, 又有太多, 太多的[吸睛]商品, 我们只好快步走呀走的.....却也只能走马看花了一小部分。 :(

在这街上, 我和自动贩卖机来了张合照. :) 日本是公认拥有最多自动贩卖机 (jido-hanbaiki) 的国家之一。  比例为每23 人就有一台自动贩卖机. 这儿的贩卖机似乎毫无限制所贩卖的商品。 售卖的商品包括各式冷热饮料, 酒类, 点心, 香烟, 盆栽, 甚至是ipods, 或是性商品, 色情书报, 内衣裤等。 应有尽有哦! 我最爱尝试各式冷热饮。 ;p

晚餐后, 又是自由时间。 虽然时候不早了, 但是我们不容错过任何可以逛街的机会. 抛下包包后, 我们便沿街走去。。。有好多好吃好玩的商店依然灯火通明呢! 还有成堆打扮前卫的帅哥, 美媚在逛街哦!

走着, 走着, 我们来到阪急东通街。大阪城中有好多这类有遮雨棚的商店街。顾客不需顾虑气候的转变, 可以开怀自在的慢慢欣赏, 慢慢选购。 我好喜欢。 超赞!

夜, 渐深, 此时未打烊的只剩下饮食店, 小酒馆, 电玩中心及 karaoke。 忽然, 我们在一间餐馆的陈列橱窗里发现标价一千 yen 的寿司拼盘, 很大一盒叻! 真是难以置信! 好想买一盒带回饭店大快朵颐一番, 可惜哪。。。五脏庙不许可~ ~ 晚餐时吃得太饱了!  日本白饭粒粒香吔！

除了以上所提及的寿司拼盘, 对我来说, 这里没什么看头。不过老公可是兴致勃勃, 拉着我的手走进好几家电玩中心[观摩]高手们的表演。不知如何形容, 感觉有点怕怕......怪怪的..... 回家后, 翻了翻书, 才知道, 原来北区梅田的阪急东通商店街和南区道顿堀附近的宗右卫门町是其中两处大阪的红灯区。。。难怪。。。。

10月19日, 是此行的最后一个日程安排. 一觉醒来后, 天公不作美, 灰朦的窗外细雨纷飞, 赶紧扭开电视, 。。。啊。。。惨了。。。新闻正播放着日本多个地区被暴风雨袭击的片段。 大家都忐忑不安, 皆因今天的活动只有一个, 即户外的~大阪环球影城是吔!

不管了! 披上外套, 背上包包, 撑把伞, 先到地标摆个POSE拍几张相留个念吧!

丝丝细雨可一点也不影响我们捉紧机会找着造型可爱有趣的卡通人物拍个照。。。还有模型巨鲨, 造型车, 活脱就像走进了电影世界里。影城里处处都是各个电影主题馆,卡通主题馆, 电影周边商品店, 博览馆，表演台和各式展示厅。

披着一身微湿的外套, 走进对街的 Hard Rock。。。棒！　可惜口袋不争气。。只能买了一件印有Hard Rock Cafe 字样的T-shirt做个纪念。^ ^

到日本没吃到日本Ramen 怎么像话呢?　嘻！嘻！虽然餐牌上的选择不多，但是已足够让我们选了又选。。。就闭上眼睛随便点了两碗。。。　哈!　好大碗叻！汤匙也有够大的！看似简单的汤面，汤头却是很鲜甜哦！　大口, 大口学着日人的吃法,　还要发出shi shi shu shu 的响声才过隐！Oishii!!! 　Oishii!!!

 　

吃完再回到梦幻世界里。。。看3D，逛商场,　到侏儸纪公园刺激一下,　和蜘蛛侠同飞奔, 踩着单车和ET游月球去, 再到Water World 拍拍照，最后抱着大包小包的战利品回饭店休息去。。。　人生,　就这样。。已满足矣！

**  终于把最后一段的旅游记忆给整理出来。 好想, 好想再重游一次叻！**

YUMMY！^ ^

  

Thank you! Father

让心情沉淀了一段日子, 被刺痛的心并没有痊愈, 只是。。。快乐与否，忙碌与否，贫穷与否，日子都要过。不是吗？

许是年纪大了吧，生病的心总是好不起来，稍有个风吹草动，病情便迅速恶化。。。

阴天, 雨天，总会有放晴天。 感谢上帝!  让我看见人间依然有着曙光。还有让我倍感温馨的家人，懂我的老友们，还有贴心的工作伙伴们，谢谢大家一路支撑着我。

Our Father,

Catch me when I fall,

Guide me when I am lost,

Forgive me when I am feeling down,
Please make me stronger,
And lift me with your arms,

And I pray for a brighter day,
 a healthy world,
And I pray for all the souls in need,
And I pray for those who are starving,
And I pray for the broken hearts,
 broken homes, and for those in pain

Our Father,

Please show us the path
 that you have prepared for us

And I thank Father for staying with us

 and listening to us, always

Amen

一周年

一周年了。时间过得真快，写下第一篇心情已是一年前的事 。。。

旅行, 是一种病。。。还是一种传染病 ~  环球时尚旅行的广告。（KXT 转载给我的wall post上写的)

我想, 心情也是一种病, 一种传染病！特别在于好朋友之间。

我又想, 即是和朋友们一起分享的记事簿，若有太多太多的哀伤心情, 那。。。对大家都太残忍，太不公平了。

所以我想, 我还是暂别这本记事簿吧！

在这段疗伤的日子里, 让我把所有的心情以另一种方式来释放吧！

谢谢大家一年来陪我走过喜怒哀乐，阴晴风雨。祝福大家, 也请为我祈祷，希望很快能再见。

BYE!

两个人之间(1)

原来。。。

两个人相处的时间长短，

并不能拿来计算对对方了解的深浅。

心, 碎了。。。

心, 碎了。。。

如此不堪的事情，要怎么处理呢?  该再费心思吗？我反复自问 。。。

是自己太自信了吗？ 还是太轻敌了？

人, 没有廉耻之心了吗？道德沦亡了吗？

一个人的心, 到底能装载多少个爱人的心？

一个人的时间, 到底能分配给多少个自己关爱的人？

我不懂, 我真的不懂？？？

而我, 总是傻傻的,  以为只有唯一，只有永恒。。。
