My crocheting project - floral handbag

It was time consuming, a lot of different techniques but all in all, it was good fun. This will be for my mom, and there'll be another one for my mother-in-law -- order placed by husband before I was even 10% into this project! Of course, the deadline for the next one will be before Christmas hehehe

It took me more than a month to complete this but of course I spent about a week abroad on business and didn't bring it with me to work on.

First I started with the flowers - all 5 different types of them!! 11 different colours!! 5 different types of yarn!! Goodness!! And material cost is less than a hundred HK Dollars...!!

Dang, I'm good!!

New blog

I've started a new blog, a blog in Chinese.

It is here. Or you can click on the link at the bottom of my own intro here (on the right pane).

I maybe biting off a bit more than I could chew here considering I have not even had the time to blog here regularly.

I love writing but I love writing in Chinese on paper, for real... Chinese input is just too slow. But I'm going to give it a shot anyway. Let's see how it goes. Some contents might be repeated but it really feels different when I write in my own language. I'm sure, for people who can speak/write more than one language, feel the same way too.

Mr. Bean in a wig!!

Ha! Look what we found on one if the walls in Fat Angelo's TST!!

Look at the girl in the photo, doesn't she look like Mr. Bean in a wig?? Not clear enough?

Young Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson) wearing a wig!

Adrian's sense of humour...

Today is the day Adrian spends a day with his boys. And they have the pleasure of my company for lunch. But that's not what I'm gonna tell here.

We arrived at lunch and Adrian showed me the text between him and Philip (his elder son):

Philip: So we'll meet you at Pacific Coffee?
Adrian: Yes
Philip: What are we going to do first?
Adrian: Sit
Philip: OK

And then, when we were having main course, Thomas claimed that he was full and didn't want the Risotto at all...

Thomas: O I'm full!
Adrian: O so you're full?
Thomas: Yes, I can't eat anything any more.
Adrian: O so no dessert for you then?
Thomas: ... Noooo...
and we burst out with laughs...!
Just a few moments later,
Thomas said, "I'd do anything for a chocolate!"
Adrian: O ya?
Off he scoops a big spoon full of Risotto on Thomas' plate, with a cheeky grin on his face.
That little toad's face was so funny but surprisingly, he finished the Risotto and at the same time, realized that he must think twice before he starts his sentence with "I'd do anything for..."

This is my husband's sense of humour and I love it! hahahahaaaa
