家常便飯!

阿倫第一次整海參,就好食過阿媽整。軟硬適中,太厲害,寫個服字比佢!問佢有無去睇食譜,又話無,再問落去就顯得自己無知,所以做個稱職的食客就可以了!

Porcelain Art

I have ordered 3 porcelain markers from an online art supply shop a long time ago. They had not been used, and I am finally thinking to use them this weekend.
I got a plain plate from the kitchen and started to draw Kailan. I was not trained for portrait drawing when I was young, so this is not my strength. i know its not perfect as I found the eyes are not in the right proportion...but anyway I cannot fix it anymore. Very good exercise to kill time at home on Saturday.

SKII focus group

It's a funny experience to participate in SKII focus group in their office. Just 6 girls coming from different age group, gathered at the office for two hours, sharing insights on skin care. The best part of course is the gift for participation - cellumination essence ex! So happy!

Love story between dogs

A nice one.

Bathing Duck Fever

I have to admit I have a special interest on bathing duck since I was young. You may recall that i am a bathing duck collector. So it's expectable to see me crazy over anything about this little duck lately.
I have been requesting Ah Lun for some time to take me there to try the raspberry bathing duck tiramisu. Finally we go there today as I am off. That's unexpectedly delicious because it has a balancing taste.
When: 26 April, 2013 (Friday)
Where: Black & White http://www.blacknwhite.com.hk/
This bathing duck is made of Chocolate, floating on some raspberry flavoured foam. 
Very cruel!

【一人一半,才是(伴) 文╱王偉忠】

陶子重義氣,她要我做什麼,我就做什麼。她要我談一談婚姻感情,就談吧!反正我也到了開口說話會帶點道理,但年輕人聽不進去的年齡。

我跟太太戀愛八年結婚,婚後十七年,總共認識了二十五年。這麼長的時間日夜相伴,身旁偶爾沒有她,感覺很爽,倘若此後一輩子沒有她,萬萬不可。

像前一陣子看到一則意見調查,問年輕女孩,家人、父母、孩子、老公與事業,如果硬要抉擇,會先放棄哪個?

女孩選了選,先放棄了事業,然後家人、父母,剩下老公與孩子難以抉擇,最後選擇放棄孩子、留下老公,理由是家人、父母、孩子最終都會離開身邊,但老公會是終身伴侶。很殘酷、但也很真實。

中國字的寓意深遠,「伴」,就是一人一半,湊在一起才完整。

現今許多人適婚卻不婚,老人家看了奇怪,過去從沒發生過類似狀況。這現象代表五、六十年來沒有戰亂、年輕人長大過程中享有家庭溫暖與親情支援,因此認為單 身也能過得很好,不論敗犬或是單身貴族,不覺得非要個伴,是歷史上首度可以一個人過日子的平安歲月。衰老未至,沒有歲月的壓力,等年齡到了,開始覺得孤 獨、害怕孤獨,想找個人分享,還是需要個伴。

若要進入婚姻,套一句不負責任的老生常談,要靠緣份,除了緣份以及感性的感覺,還要理性的選擇。婚姻確實需要理性,如果女兒論及婚嫁,我一定要求要看看對方家庭,什麼樣的家庭會養出什麼樣的孩子,當然,也有破碎家庭的孩子更努力維繫自己的幸福家庭,但一定要仔細觀察。

而另一個老生常談就是婚姻需要兩個人有相同的價值觀,但這不是說「我喜歡的你一定要喜歡」,而是「我不討厭你喜歡的」,就可以了,兩人可妥協,可退讓,願意試著接觸自己本來討厭的,看看是否真那麼不能接受,有這樣願意妥協的心情,比較容易維繫感情。

而婚姻與愛情最大的不同,在於願不願意改變。願意為了對方改變自己,是真愛,從頭到尾都不想改變自己,這段感情充其量只是對方愛你。

戀愛是短暫的交會後很想在一起而開始,很想閃的結束。開始時乾柴烈火,講究原汁原味,眼前的他什麼都好,是全天下最酷的、最美的,不需要改,但等到愛情疲了,才發現這人酷到不近人情、美得過於臭美、連刺青的位置不對,趕緊推給個性不合閃人。因此戀愛講究的是如何好聚好散

進入婚姻,當然還是會有許多衝突,學習重點是「相處的藝術」。男生該學的第一課就是上廁所必須掀馬桶蓋,一開始改變很不習慣,後來融入身體,像吃飯喝水一樣自然。

但最近老婆說不只要掀蓋子,尿完還希望我拿衛生紙擦擦馬桶周圍留下來的「遺跡」,按照過去的脾氣,一定就「老子愛….」,但現在的我會聽太太的意見,因為「愛」字裡有個心,不是光用腦想著該送什麼禮物給她,要用心。

太太也改變不少,她不喜歡戶外活動,婚前知道我愛潛水、跟著背起十幾公斤重的空氣瓶跳進海底求生,這麼愛美的她怕晒黑、塗防晒油塗滿臉,一回頭、嚇一跳,怎麼來了個歌仔戲花旦跟我一起玩。

婚後我又想潛水,她就說「不必了」,理由是家裡有孩子,不宜從事太危險的活動。

以前一個人在台北發展,要自己照顧自己,還要爭名奪利,不自私很難在短時間之內成就自己。結婚之後學著喊太太的媽媽「媽!」,有食物,不能先放進自己嘴 巴,要顧著妻小先吃。我開始懂得心疼與珍惜,因為太太很好,捨不得讓她不舒服、捨不得讓她傷心,這些捨不得讓我自然學會了讓、學會了愛,也自然的改變自 己,從自私變成大方。

婚姻的路是每天類似的風景,同樣的過程、淡淡的,要相處得好,真得靠慧根,所以找對象不能光想找個腿長奶大的辣妹,或是像金城武的帥哥,要找個讓自己想起他來心裡甜甜的,回頭一看,那人就在燈火闌珊處,這就是最好的對象。

而所謂另一半,也不是一開始就契合,是在修正中不斷的磨合,你多一點我少一點,像拼圖一樣拼在一起,才能一起過一輩子。

當然,歲月無情,人生最終還是分離。像我媽媽十六歲嫁給爸爸,相守相愛了一輩子,爸爸十多年前過世之後,媽媽真像少了一半,常凝望遠方,像爸爸就在天的那 一邊,令人感傷。但人生如果少了婚姻、少了隨之而來的酸甜苦辣生老病死,少了孩子延續家的價值與感情,真會少掉很多滋味。

Rubber Duck

Being a collector of rubber ducks, I am so excited for the arrival of mega rubber duck to HK. I am so thrilled to know that she is testing the water in a dock in Tsing Yi which is so close to our home.
Today, I m coming home from the airport, and Ah Lun could drive me home. Therefore we decided to go there and give it a try!
Oh yeah, the duckie is still there. Feeling so happy to see the gigantic rubber duck in the end of my biz trip.

Another attempt

Ah Lun tried to put Kailan's mouse toy into my hand bag one day, and i found that out before leaving home for work. That's a hilarious surprise, but he did not succeed.
2 days ago, he tried again. But he used a much smaller item! A walnut!!!!
This was found before I left home for my Singapore trip two days ago. That's brilliant! He failed this time again but just thinking that the airport customs finding out my walnut is hilarious.
Bring it on, lets see what I have found next!

Peonies

We have got these peonies from the flower market in MK during a trip to accompany Ah Yea to pick her flower bouquet.
They are cheap because they are from China. Just $38 per bunch and we got two.
They look so pretty and smell so good. They blossom one by one, and now it's the second week and they are still there.

飯鏟頭

爸爸最愛看CCTV。我從中也找到樂趣!這個主播太似「飯鏟頭」,只是比北韓女人好少少。話比阿倫聽之後,佢就成晚「攝攝。攝。攝攝攝」,煩死人。

貼紙相古今對比

以前,青年人拍拖的指定動作係影貼紙相!
1999年,影一次20元,我們喜歡的卡就要30-40元。
2013年4月14日,兩條友扮後生,學人去懷舊,影下貼紙相!我地都鼓起最大的勇氣,向旺角某某地庫的貼紙相中心衝落去。我們一落到去,平均年齡馬上飈高,不好意思啊!
行著行著,無哂我地以前鐘意的機。阿倫話,求其一部就算。呢個舉動我本人覺得非常老餅!消磨青春的只有是年青人,我地應該慢慢𢵧先正確。
終於,選好了,要換錢,而家要成$70一次,真的是大開眼界!!ok,年青人係唔怕貴嘅,我地継續玩。
然後,我以為貼紙相機好易玩,原來佢地而家講好多野,完全唔知日本妹講乜。最嚇人的事情發生了,原來所有機都有大眼美白功能。啋!呢兩個都唔係我地,痴根!
估計...攝於2002/3年
邊個? 眼大咀細好驚嚇

Brown shoes

Unbelievable! I am wearing all my brown shoes in 3 consecutive days! Therefore, all these shoes are put on the floor and I realized I have so many classic brown shoes. They are from actually from 3 classes of brands, and they complete a good collection of cheap, mid-priced and expensive shoes. It's like a new discovery for me. I can believe that I like to pick brown when I am buying shoes.

He loves caramel

I saw a pretty dress on a fashion blog and it is from Karen Walker.
I asked Ah Lun, sitting next to my computer, if he thinks this is good looking. His only question is "what is the brand?" I told him that is from Karen Walker. He responded "Caramel"?!

You can tell how much he loves caramel...

Meme & Wuwu

阿倫最愛改花名。今日佢瞓醒出來見到我及芥蘭,走過來拍拍芥蘭叫她做Meme, 跟住行過來笑淫淫叫我做Wuwu。 我沒有給他反應,継續看電視。
過了一會,他主動問我,知唔知點解叫我做Wuwu。他應該是忍唔住我唔問啦?
我當然唔知!
他哈哈笑說:「因為你係鴉烏,哈哈哈!」
我當然係大笑,其實世上應該無幾多女仔可以忍耐佢成日玩自己。
然後,我問點解芥蘭叫做Meme?
他被我突然的反問考起,似乎他未準備好答案。不過唔到1分鐘,他回答道:「甜蜜蜜!」#%}#¥€?|\}%*¥
豈有此理,同佢一齊真係好激心!

電飯煲 Part 2

Following the joke of rice cooker, we finally bought a new rice cooker. And luckily Ah Lun did not throw me out of home.
Nowadays, rice cookers are so intelligent!! Just tried cooking rice and congee. Hope to try making cake in the future.
舊飯煲的遺照
自己住的時候買的電飯煲,充滿回憶
見證時代變遷,最令人感到意外的是為什麼會有咁多個製,之前的都是一個製!仲有市面上的電飯煲有些還貴過一部抽濕機或吸塵機,實在太痴線,食左嗰D飯會變SUPERMAN嗎?

Happy Birthday Kitty 姐

This was another great catch up with the girls. We are so honored to have dinner at the 2-star Michelin restaurant, Ming Court. Food is delicious and quite unconventional. I also applied for the discount card too as we have reached the consumption amount. The card is not limited to the restaurant, so i look forward to getting a discounted spa treatment very soon.
A cake from Smile (Causeway Bay). This is really yummy because of the ultra rich Chocolate flavour.

GI Joe

Ah Lun asked me to see movie with him on the last day of Easter Holiday. So he booked the movie tickets and I found out that he booked GI Joe very last minute.
Before I entered the cinema, I asked him what's the story about GI Joe. He told me this is a romantic love story between GI and Joe. The next moment is I cannot stop laughing!!
When he saw the Chinese name of the movie [義勇群英:毒蛇反擊戰] he is trying to adapt this love story. He claimed that the male actor is called: 林義勇,and the female actor is 李群英 and 毒蛇is describing第三者!! He is so imaginative.
Before watching the movie, I need to go to the washroom. He just sent me a gentle reminder that don't miss the opening of the movie because he did not want to miss the sex scene of GI Joe.
