Grey's Anatomy

I know Adrian wouldn't agree with me but Grey's Anatomy is very good, not as good as House but IT IS VERY GOOD INDEED.


And my favourite character is actually Doctor Yang, and I must emphasis that I'm not racist, she's just, or the character is just, the most real Chinese woman ever.  I know, I know, it's just a character, but it's what I want and try to be most of the times. I'm not saying that I'm fake but a lot of times, you have to start with something nice to tell ppl off... it's Asia, it's a sin to say what you want to say out loud... hahahahahahaha

相爱不难，相处才难！

老公的爸妈圣诞和新年来了香港过。 好恩爱的一对。

看着他们的相处，我很希望我们将来老了以后也可以一样恩爱 -- 不贪心，不必有他们100%的恩爱指数，有80%我就心满意足了！

很多的智慧，关怀，包容和爱，很多很多。。。　多到可以把几个大西洋填满吧？　那种互动，在传统的华人社会里，真的像稀世珍宝一样，难得啊难得！　我就没幸能在我爸妈身上看到，除非，爸被爱神附身。。。　除非，除非。。。　有一天爸爸被鬼吓到不见了两个魂吧。。。　呵呵呵。。。　我好坏哟！　可是我爸妈那两夫妇就是一对冤家！


爱把两个人放了在一起，那才是开始。。。　两个人的相处（或角力？）的开始。。。　


怎麽样的相处模式才能让一段关系无惊无险地过渡４０个年头以上呢？　
要有多少的爱才能成就这样的夫妻关系呢？　
要有多少的智慧才能成就这样的夫妻关系呢？

每天晚上看电视的时候，他们都会依偎在一起，像一对小恋人一样。。。　这简直太神奇了吧～～～？？ 　我从来没有见识过类似的事件发生在我爸妈的身上耶！　可能就像公公所说的一样吧，“因为我是完美的”　(because I'm perfect)　因为据了解婆婆的性格有一点难搞，就像所有女人一样。　
更难能可贵的是他们的幽默感，如果缺少了这个能为生活注入不少色彩的能力，恐怕英国小镇的单调生活早就把他们闷疯了吧？　如果换了是我的话，三个月，三个月我就会自己去疯人院报到了吧。　说到底疯人院会比较精彩吧？　哈哈哈！！

My New Toy - X'mas 2010

Went to the Hong Kong Christmas Bookfest 2010 on Christmas eve.  Bought some books of course and then I spotted a counter that sells Logitech mouse and stuff.  It wasn't the mouse or keyboard that caught my eyes.  It was the Kanvus products that caught my eyes.  I have been looking at similar products for quite some time now and found that the better quality ones are usually quite pricey. This one wasn't quite as expensive.

I tested it a bit and it was not bad!  It was on sale as well.  The sales assistant introduced the Kanvus Life 106 to me as I'm not a hardcore graphic designer (actually not a graphic designer at all!!), and I just like to paint, so this should be perfect for me.

Yes, I bought it.  For less than HK$800 I even got a set of 6 colour markers as gift!  hahahaha!  So I got it home but I didn't want to open it until after Christmas.  So I waited... anxiously...

Then it was Tuesday, when I got to stay home on my own.  I took it out and set it up.

Tada!!

This is the first painting that I painted.  Just scribbling and practicing... but I like it so it's here.


And this morning, again, I'm on my own.  So I sat down, and played with my new toy again (mind you, I'm not a man or a child but I do love to play!)

And this is what I got...

  

my first "water colour" painting in a long long time!

It feels really weird painting without having to use paper and real colour and you can "undo" your dabs!!  I'm not sure if I would grow to love painting like this more than the conventional way of painting.  But it looks like it's the most sustainable method for an amateur.

I'm still looking at my options with ceramics here in HK -- a studio could be a good idea.

OO... Briefcase...s!!

 I received a parcel... erm... a carton to be exact.  I opened it and there are 2 silver  briefcases in it. 


OOOOOoooooo.... I thought to myself, "this is strange..."  because I haven't bought anything online lately (not that I don't want to, ai...) and I don't recognize the sender.  Hmmm...

I opened it and... tada!!

Doesn't it just look like a case for firearms?  Or, ermmm... something for parts of a errr... w*rheads?  OOOOoooooo... and both briefcases are identical.  Gosh, blogging this could get me into big trouble...!! 

But, there's always a "BUT", and that's the word that makes things interesting, or not... I suddenly remembered, a lighting supplier was supposed to send me 2 spotlight samples.  That should be it.  So I emailed them and asked where my diamonds have gone. hahaha!!

It turns out, their logistic dept. has made a mistake -- not surprised at all, coz the factory/warehouse/manufacturer/supplier is in PRC.  Though the product is designed in Germany for a Swedish company, which is very well designed I must say, but, the screw up just caused half of my confidence in them.

Anyway, they're going to send the ones that actually have been loaded with the lights, straight away.

dying young

I've been watching repeats of some HK movies on TV.  It's quite sad that most of the times, at least one or two actors/actresses are dead.  Sometimes, 2 out  of 3 main actors.  Though dying young, they were good at what they did, really good, by Asian standard.

Rouge -- both of them died

This is just one of the many examples.  Well, good example from Hollywood, The Dark Knight -- Heath Ledger, I only watched this move in a cinema after he died... felt so so so strange.

I'm sure everyone knows at lease one star like that... an unforgettable one, that will always live in his/her work.

They were once, very very shiny stars and they, are simply irreplaceable. 
It's like, the more they shine, the more their early death weighs...

I don't know, just want to say that they change how a movie should look, or meant knowing that they are already dead whilst I'm watching it.  hmm...

Homemade Wantons!

I craved for wanton last night, after my Yoga session and a scroll in Page One.  I figured I'd cook them myself since I've got some minced pork in the fridge.  So I went and hunted for the prawns and wanton wrappers.  Got the prawns but no wanton wrappers anywhere (well I only looked in 3 supermarkets, not a lot)!!!  So I have decided to pay for the prawns and go home and make my own wanton wrappers.

I googled a recipe, and started right away!!

Flour x 150g, egg x 1, water x 2 tbsp, salt x 1 tsp, mix them up and make the dough (knead until it doesn't stick to your hands anymore), leave for 30 minutes (cover the bowl with a damp cloth).

Then, while waiting, mix the minced pork and prawn in a bowl (stir them up in one direction until it's very sticky). Of course, mix in the salt & pepper as well.

Then roll the dough (split them in a few portions) into very flat sheets, as thin as possible, best if you can see the light through the sheets. Cut them in to 6cm x 6cm squares (actually, any shape you like as long as it's just as big).  And them, wrap!!

Well, depending how big you like your wantons, wrap as much filling you want.  I like them small, about half an inch diameter.

TADA!!!

You can fry them, cook them in chicken/fish broth, have egg noodles with it, bla bla bla...

Dang！I'm sooooooooooooooooooooo good!

How many books do you read a year?

5? 10? 50?
Me, just about 20 I guess...

How many books do you intend to read a year? 

5? 10? 50? 100?
Me, n or as many as possible.  Unfortunately I don't earned enough to buy so many, I haven't got so much time to read so many (for some reason, I can't read on a moving vehicle any more, that's killing me), and the books I read just get thicker and thicker.

For me, I intend to read a book every 2 or 3 days.  But that's just wishful thinking.  I remember I used to read one book a day when I was in high school.  I would visit the library everyday, and just pick up the next book card from the drawer that I left off a day before.  Sometimes, I could read up to 2 or 3 books a day.  But now, I can only manage 1 a week.  @__@

I only read Chinese books back then and are still what I read most, but I do read a bit of English books occasionally and once in a blue moon, Japanese comics. 

What do I find in books that I read?  Mmm... brain work out, heart work out, sometimes, lacrimal gland work out.  Naa, it's a lot more than that.  You'll only find out when you start reading.
