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

spider woman? naaa... just monkey....

| photo taken by the beautiful Ms. Cat Mok! Thanks, pretty! |
It was introduced to me by a very good friend and I fell in love with it in an instance. I still remember the first session I had -- I got home with crippled arms!! I didn't even have the strength to scoop some soup out of my bowl!! My mom ended up helping me! I literally used up every bit of energy in my arms.
Now I stopped for more than a decade because I did not have any support then, well I was young and thought that doing what the other half asked me to do or not to do was alright even though that was something that I really enjoyed doing. It is different now. I've got Adrian and I have his full support in the things that I do even if that means he won't be able to see me for a day. He's such a wonderful man!
Back to this sport climbing thing, it's just climbing on some climbing walls, not on some real cliffs, I used to call it indoor rock climbing. But it's obvious that it's called sport climbing now.... It's safer, more convenient, it's like an instant noodle in climbing. No need to prep your trip and plan your route long before you climb. You just turn up after work, in front of some climbing walls, with a couple of friends, and there you go, you can start climbing! Ain't that wonderful?
Well part of the reason why I enjoy doing it is that it's not too physically demanding -- no jogging, running, sprinting, walking uphills... ya, ya. I'm not a big fan of aerobic exercises maybe my heart and lungs are damaged goods haha that's why I practice yoga and the only aerobic exercise that I enjoy is cycling. hehee...
O ya, I get one special bonus doing it as well -- I got to know some very healthy youngsters (who loves outdoor activities and the challenge), they are soooooo different from the good old Hong Kongers that I know!! Amazing!!

funny names 2

ambitious parents - the name is literally "victory" in chinese
a practical joke by the parents - if the parents got her the name... it sounds exactly like "middle east woman" in mandarin, cantonese, hakka...

conspiracy theory...
I have received a number of emails spread from Mainland China, speculating about the actual cause of the occurrence of the 3.11 Japanese earthquake/tsunami.
Most of it is about the Japanese testing out some weapon of mass destruction in the middle of the ocean, inside of the ocean or something like that. What a load of bullsh*t, and don't you bloody idiots think that I will forward it onwards. If Japan had invented some weapons that could release approx. 600 times the energy the Hiroshima bomb had released, I, one that has no idea what the world has been inventing in case they need to conquer the earth, would think that Japan has already got it. If it's a weapon that can shift their country by 3 meters, they have achieved what they wanted.
And then there's this theory about the testing of such weapons has triggered the quake... whatever. I'm sure there are substances that could be detected by geologists, scientists of the world if there were such tests. And I'm pretty certain the US government would conduct a very detailed investigation of the what's been speculated so that they remain the most powerful nation in the world hehehe
The fact is, this is one of the loveliest country that I've ever been to. They have demonstrated super high level of morality, even after the disaster. Can you, can anyone tell me which other citizens the rest of the world could be capable of demonstrating such high level of morality? I think the Mainland Chinese think they can hence the conspiracy theory. Come on, this coming from people who has no idea of how to queue, who produced poisonous milk powder for their kids, who can make fake eggs out of poisonous chemicals and sell them to the public???
So, if you are sending me emails of similar topics, you can give it up. I will simply delete it. I will trust a Japanese Yakuza member than a Chinese civilian. Simple fact, the Yakuza is one of the first to help the victims after the disaster. I'm not saying that the Mainland Chinese didn't help, one of the tycoons bought a load of crisps give the victims. That's all fine, but please, please, please just don't bring them fake eggs and poisonous milk powder and carton paper minced meat!!

What's wrong with Sony Ericsson HK?? Or is it the same the rest of the world??
Adrian and I both use Sony Ericsson phones. I have used maybe 4 or 5 already and this is his second one, well, third to be exact and his n-number of his Sony Ericsson Bluetooth device. Whatever.
He enjoys a bit of his music when he travels to and from work, when he goes to the gym. It keeps him entertained without needing to purchase and carry another device called MP3 player or whatever that starts with an i. That's all fine if he doesn't get annoyed with the long wires of the earphones. No, he can't seem to find his marbles when the wires get in his way. So a bluetooth device is the ultimate solution for the time being. I personally don't mind the wires, they are there for a purpose. Of course I can live without but an additional device is a device too much. Also, it's not like you can skip the wires... if you know what I mean.
Options are,
1. phone + wire + earpieces
2. phone ... bluetooth device + wire + earpieces
3. phone ... bluetooth device + single earpiece
the first option has been eliminated because of what drives Adrian nuts, also, it's valid because for his height, with his phone in his trousers' pocket and one end of the "hands free device" plugged in to the phone and the other into his ears, it sort of limits his body movement because if he turns his head too fast, the earpieces get unplugged from his ear/ears. Simply because the brilliant designers are not tall people. The 3rd option is eliminated because it's for music, not only for talking on the phone and also, I need both of his ears working so that I don't have to whine into only one ear and he can't pretend not to hear me when I whine hehe
Long story short, he was off to buy this new bluetooth device that seemed perfect for him: he can use it with another set of earpiece... apparently round-body wires are easier to break than the flat, rare and expensive ones. Also, it's got a very long battery life, 10hrs according to the box. He chose a Sony Ericsson bluetooth because we believe the it should work better when pairing with a Sony Ericsson phone, an android phone. So it's not cheap at all. But hey, as long as it works.
Well, a couple of weeks ago, he can't turn it on after it's been charged. That thing was bought less than a year ago, well, actually, I remember this because he bought it after he joined Dragages and it's not been a year yet. You'd think that it is still under warranty. Nope, not with the receipt, knowing HK. The warranty is only valid if you're able to produce the proof of purchase.
My husband being my husband of course did not put the receipt together with the box. So, without even needing to try, I know he will not be able to get it fixed for free. He thought he would try his luck since the thing is not even in the market for more than a year. So he brought it to the Sony Ericsson service centre here. They said to him, "we can have a look at it for you to see what's wrong, but it costs HKD120." HKD 120 just to look at it. F**k I'm gonna charge all those HK men HKD180 each who religiously stare at my cleavage whenever I wear a deep-V!!! Imagine how f**king rich I could be!!
What's wrong with you people??? It's your product!!! Of course you have to fix the bloody thing!!! More so because it's bought less than a year ago, here in HK and you should fix it for free!! Let alone just looking at it!!!!!! We did not choose to buy your product just to be treated like some thieves or something!

2nd part of Adrian's birthday celebration
Well, I treated him with our 2nd Champagne brunch (we had our first one in Macau, in Aurora). I brought him to Cucina in Marco Polo Hongkong Hotel in TST. It was on the 6th floor and we were sat by the window with Victoria Harbour in sight, bright sun light, a bit foggy but I would still class it as a good day, by HK standard hahaha
 |
| not the best but good enough by HK standard, well the sun made it up |
There was the very popular Hokkaido long leg crab, oysters, lobsters, great salami and ham and super delicious soups. Also, the dessert line was almost perfect, and Adrian has had 4 coffees (I had to forbid him from ordering the 5th!!)........
All in all, it was great and I was thinking that we should do this when Steve & Rosana comes over to HK the next time and when Mendy & Chris come back to HK in June.
At about 3:30, we left the restaurant (though the brunch ended at 2:30, we stayed until the afternoon tea started.... baaaaad~~) and went home for a well deserved afternoon nap -- had to get ready for the rugby game tonight!
And, now, we're off to our rugby game!!!

Yes, a proper Valentine's Day even after we got married!
Yes, yes, yes, romance doesn't stop after the honeymoon.
Adrian is the the sweetest husband when it comes to special occasions. He has the best memory when it comes to special dates -- top quality RAM. haha! Well, to be fair, so far, he's the sweetest husband 80% of our married life. And I hope that the percentage is only going to improve hehehee
Yes, I woke up, greeted him "happy Valentine's day" and gave him a kiss. And then, I walked into the living room, and there was a card waiting for me. Nope, not a credit card, just a Valentine's card. It was sweet.
And I went to work. At just about 10:30, came a phone call from the Receptionist, there was a package for me. I was just thinking that it was some samples that some suppliers have sent me, it just didn't occur to me because he has already bought me a sapphire pendant before Chinese New Year and there and then, he agreed that it was the Valentine's day + birthday present and that we should not spend anymore money on any other thing. So I was definitely surprised to find that "the package" was actually 3 dozens of red roses. And yes, I'm the less romantic one in this marriage because after being happily surprised, I thought about the money... "hmm... I wonder how much he has spent..." and a colleague congratulated me because I was the first to receive my flowers...?? eh??? I thought flowers from husband doesn't count?
Anyway, there was actually a dinner arrangement at 8:30. I got off work, and as I was walking through City Super, it was full of bodies!! There were long queues not only at the checkouts, the meat section had a queue of just about 2 dozens of people! Wow! That's something I've never seen before, maybe booking a table at days like this is not an easy task.
When I got home, I was surprised again by balloons arranged in heart shape stuck up on the wall where the bed is, with another card, and a diamond earring (yes, just one because I only needed one, to replace the one that I've lost, so I've got an upgrade to my earring hehehe)! Thank you babe!
I gave him his card and he quickly hung up the love machine bit at the bedroom door hehehehe
 |
| the gifts and the cards... |
And next, after an hour of getting ready, we're off to the restaurant!

| the origami on the table |
 |
| our super fine sake & the funky wine dispenser |
When we got home, there's yet another surprise! A little one but it's cute!
A love remote! hehe... something really handy!
