今天是我生日嗎?

今天一早起來, 收到了阿倫給我縫製的第二個真皮皮包, 它就是靜悄悄地站在離門口不遠的一角. 第一個皮包我其實還沒有上upload相片, 但自該個皮包好評如潮之後, 他不久後又開始了他的第二次創作. 我估唔到我的爸爸是一流的皮匠, 而我的另一半也是.是巧合還是緣份?
他的創作是需要大量工具, 他縫皮包的時候我沒有可能唔知. 雖然沒有驚喜, 但我也喜歡, 因為我看見了他一針一線地完成了作品. 悶熱的晚上還會流汗!
我很愛整潔, 但他每次亂放工具的時候我都扮看不見, 因為他要付出的時間和心機真的比我打掃多上數佰倍......
我們都愛堅挺的皮包, 因為夠raw. 而要用手縫製厚過3公皮革, 你知道要用多大力? 又縫斷了多少支針?
多謝說100次都不夠...我的感謝就是盡量帶包包出街, 如果阿倫看見我帶著他縫製的皮包從街上回家, 他的嘴角應該會微微向上震動3下, 然後逃避我的眼光及走開..... (haha! Meiling 又沉醉於自我的幻想中)
除了皮包之後, 我們family dinner之前, 他又去了買我想要的木調香水, 謝謝!
原來surprise就係是但找一日變成我的生日, 我覺得如果迫我吹生日蛋糕及許願會再激一點!!

芥蘭成為了香水代言狗

愛情小品Made of Honour

It's been a while we did not watch VCD at home. Today, it's family day with Kailan and movie day with take-away order. I really enjoy just being lazy and relax. We have to do this once in a while.
We bought this VCD some time ago. Why? 1. We both like love stories. 2. Ah Lun remembered that they have hired a lot of Land Rovers for the film. Recently, I fall in love with big SUV / Land Rover, so it's nice to see them in movies again.
The love story turns out sweet and funny. I believe there is a formula for love films, they must be sweet, touching yet humerous.

魚兒怎樣看我???

According to Momo, this is Japanese kawaii pose #1. After our Japanese trip, we keep using this pose for fun. Now, i am adding some mystery into this cute pose. We have become 大頭狗!
P.S. We did not buy the fish eye lens, we just borrowed this from Jeffrey for fun.

吳問師傅

話說我們又談及有關芥蘭的趣事...最近謝氏伉儷均被芥蘭強而有力的後腿傷及私處,論準確度來說,簡直有9.99分。每次她安坐在我們的大腿上時, 會無厘頭kick下我們兩腳就跳到地上。身型健美的芥蘭就像葉問一樣,身手敏捷!
為了不讓芥蘭影響葉問師傅的聲譽,我們還是稱芥蘭為"吳問"師傅,,因為她要kick的時候, 吓吓都唔問我地,其實真係好痛呀。

強壯的下肢,kick kick有力

MMJD / 062010

MMJD means Meiling & Mark + Joanne & Dong
Thank you Cat for this opportunity, and our weddings are featured in the Elle Magazine (June 2010 issue). The photo selection process gave me another chance to recall the great memories on that day (Dec 9, 2007). If I could have another chance to organize my wedding again, i will definitely increase my photography budget. When I looked at the pictures again, they are not really good now. May be I have become more judgemental after taking photography with my DSLR.
In conclusion, the wedding gown & photography are two important items, and the brides should make a good investment on them. You will never regret if you have put a good budget on these. I am still very happy with my gown so far. Good quality satin and nice craftmenship! Simple elegance is something I always enjoy.

How do you define SURPRISE?

I think no matter it's a small gesture or it is a large-scaled organized act, the surprise has to warm the heart of the so-called victim. I have done a lot of small-scaled surprises for loved ones, including my family, colleagues and friends. Recently, I am really proud of myself and some buddies who gave a surprise to ourfriend Cat. Afterall, I am impressed with the cooperations amongst our friends within such a short notice, the quality of our work, the creativity and humor, etc...
***
2010.05.31 - A day to remember! This is Cat's birthday.
what's app is the most popular communication tools between me and my friend Momo...
Meiling: Shall we send flowers to Cat's office today? To give her a surprise!
Momo: Not sure she is in the office... [Checking Cat if she is on Birthday leave]
Momo came back with an answer, confirming that she is not working on her birthday. and suggested that we should do a home surprise delivery!
Meiling: Great! Let's do it!
Momo: theme? [*Momo is famous for her short / precise communications]
Meiling: Cat theme?
Momo: Boring. How about 大耳窿?
Meiling: Hurray!
After lunch, Ah Yea also got support from Anton who is a designer who helped with all the art work. I am glad that her boss was not aware that she was doing something personal at office hours. In short, we formed a team of 4 Big Ear Holes (大耳窿), and covered Cat's door with all the threatening blessings! In case you cannot read them in details, they are:

拖欠貓糧 天地不容 人貓收皮 勁拿開心

If you really want to know how we scare [please] her on her birthday, you can get a fuller picture after watching the video.


Thank you Anton for this wonderful edited video!

Sony NEX

I love photography with my DSLR, however, i cannot carry my bulky camera all the time. I still need a small and handy DC which i can put it in my handbag sometimes for the daily snaps. My current DC is a very basic camera, which means i cannot take professional pictures by adjusting the aperture or shutter.
Last Monday, I was invited to join a Sony NEX presentation, and was impressed with its signature functions, such as auto HDR and panorama mode, which is a must-have function for travel photography i think! Of course, i like the camera's light weight too. It's just 229g, this is nothing!!!!
