爱心水饺

these are the dumplings from my landlord...honestly, i was very very surprised when he showed up at my place last night...as always, tenants don't like to see their landlords showing up at the door coz it means trouble....it could mean the following:

1. Spot check! so if your home is in a state of hurricane, then u better beware coz you might be lectured / chased away / rental increase

2. something is broken and needs to be fixed...then he/she wants to come and verify first before he/she is willing to pay...it could be your own fault or it could be natural....so just need to know~~

the list could go on and on and on...so last night, when my landlord showed up, many things came to my mind..what does he want at this hour? what's the problem? does he want to discuss about rental? etc etc etc....then when i got down, he looked very happy to see me and told me these were handmade by him and contained natural ingredients like prawns and pork~ he did look proud of himself...of coz, i was touched *sob* *sob*...ever since i started renting 6 yrs ago, no landlord ever treated me this nice...i remember the 1st landlord refused to pay me back my HKD500 deposit because some toilet pipes was broken after i moved (fyi, in the contract, this type of repair belongs to landlord, not tenant) and they even took 6 months to pay me my deposit!! 2nd, my landlord didnt want anything to do with me.....email is much better~~ well, this landlord of mine is an older guy in his 50's...and he looks like 老粗， like some gangster from the movie....i didnt know he has soft side 温柔的一面。now i learned the word人不可貌相~~ thanks mr landlord :')

spring is here~

Spring is here~~i dont know if i should be happy that the freezing, cold winter is finally over and that summer is coming...the flowers are blooming happily and i can see cherry blossoms along the road...it's very good for early morning walk in such weather like this...but the thought of heat in Shanghai, the dust etc makes me dread summer...last time in HK, it is still ok for me...eventhough it is hot and humid in HK, it's mainly air conditioned everywhere that i don't even feel like summer is that long...

it will be my first summer in Shanghai...but my previous experience told me, shanghai's summer is like hell...so...i know what im going to expect soon~~~ wish me luck...i know my friends from kuching will go, what the, it's hot 365 days, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week there..what am i complaining abt? well, try 40'C+++ everyday and you will know what i'm talking abt... :(

My love for weekend

I love weekend~~~i have no reasons to hate it...i can give you thousands of reasons as to why...here are the main ones...it means:

1. i can sleep late the night before

2. i can sleep in

3. i can clean my pig sty place into tidy and homey place

4. i get to do my weekly exercise - ie taking early walk to the supermarket, enjoying the fresh air and no crowd :)

5. i get to watch shows in the morning while having my breakfast and a cup of coffee / milk tea

6. resting at home

7. go out and explore~~~

8. make dishes for the week (my lunches and dinners for the next few days~~)

the list can go on and on...here's what i made last weekend~~ yummy

coffee, tea or me?

it was a cold, , windy and rainy monday...woke up at 930am simply because it was holiday~~ went out and had a cup of coffee at starbucks ("SB") because the shop we wanted to visit was not open...after 30mins of 泡咖啡 there, we continue to walk to another place to do some chore...after lunch, we got nothing better to do coz it was rainy..wanted to visit flower expo but too wet...so, we decided to 泡more咖啡....we were at SB for 4 hours!! it was kinda relaxing, i always like the atmosphere in sb...i saw ppl gathering there, chit chatting happily..some were gossiping, some sat there quietly with a magazine / computer in front of them, some with their homework...they even have study tables for students!! how thoughtful :) after 4 hours, we decided to make a move...need to move our butt a bit....but, a friend called to say wanna eat something..so we went to another coffee shop next to SB...wow....i called that day 泡咖啡厅day...hehehe...it feels kinda good to do nothing sometimes....even just have ur mind blank and just feel what you have at that time...arent we always too busy to smell the flower that we don't even notice its existence...or we notice but never know how it smells like....we need to slow down...mentally

curly vs straight hair

I had curly hair since 2004 and year over year, i permed my hair so that i could stay in shape...imagine the long hours i had to sit up straight while waiting for people to "play" with my hair...honestly, that was painful coz my neck was sore, my butt was sore and my tummy always calling out for me to feed her~~ 8 HOURS per perm...crap, i just spent my valuable time like that?! well, finally, i changed my hair style from curly to straight hair...before the change, i kept having this impression that i wouldnt look good in straight hair...i felt that i'd look like ah sam...why? once upon a time, i had my hair straighten in kuching and turned out, i looked more like simba and village girl than fashionable young lady!!! so, i have 阴影。。。abt 6 mths ago, a hairdresser just changed my impression and now, i'm enjoying all the compliments and for sure, no need to spend money on gel, mousse and time blow-dry it the way i way it (in fact, i wasnt a good one when i had curly hair..so what's the difference?!) hahaha...

let's take a vote...you like me in curly hair or straight hair?

• This is my puffy, curly, long hair before the change....

• this is my long, straight hair....kinda look like 贞子 right now...ooopppsss
