  • I'm Off! À Bientôt!...

    Monday, Sep 7, 2009 8:37PM / Members only

    I'm off to Toronto after nearly 1.5 years of being away from my hometown!  I will miss this little munchkin the most during my vacation (she's SMILING for the camera! Look at her pose...):

    And when I return from vacation, besides the weight management program, this will be one of my new projects at work- a children's program:

    I'll miss you, AnDers!

  • What I go home to every day (or night) ;)

    Friday, Sep 4, 2009 6:07PM / Members only

    Dreamy asked if I've blogged about my new place yet. I've decided that if I blog about my new place, I should at least blog first about my current place!

    So, here it is...

    The foyer.

    Go up the elevators...

    These photos were taken on the 5th floor. The 5th floor is like a podium where there's a clubhouse, pool, tennis courts, playground, etc. There are two buildings/ blocks connected by this 5th floor. I pass by this place to go to my building every day.

     

    I love all the greens. When I arrive home, once I set foot onto the 5th floor, I don't feel like I'm in Hong Kong anymore... Greens, foliage and stone gardens welcome me home.  There are even little tags/ signs showing the names of the different types of foliage.

    Like our last place, there are a number of expats (mostly Japanese and Caucasian). Bella has a neighbour friend (a collie) called HACHI owned by a Japanese man. The man told me he named his dog Hachi for "good fortune" (8 in Japanese = Hachi = "good fortune" in Chinese).

    A stone garden!

    A night view...

     

    So, this is my home. For now!

     

      

  • I'm going back!!! + Reflections from AsianChick since relocating to HK...

    Thursday, Sep 3, 2009 12:46AM / Members only

    Back to Toronto. For vacation. Lots of events (weddings ), lots of family , lots of friends .

    I'm totally looking forward to Mommy's homecooked meals, Cora's (I've blogged about their breakfasts before!), Tim Hortons (Timbits, anyone? I thought about eating some last night!), Yorkdale, Eaton Centre, Tea Shop 168, The Host (Indian Food), 63 Harbord (for those University of Toronto peeps!),   

    It's been over a year...

    When I first decided to relocate back to Hong Kong last year (I immigrated to Toronto with my parents when I was 2.5), I didn't know what lay ahead. I just held onto the faith that there was a reason why I was to come to Hong Kong, to be in Hong Kong. Throughout this year, I've learned a lot of different things. I've treated a lot of different (high profile) people. I've lived with celebrities. I've made new friends. I've found a new church family. Some people may look at my life and think I got "lucky"- nice home, nice car, nice hubby, nice dog, and now, a nice new flat (yup, finally joined the crazy HK housing market ). 

    It's not luck, which is coicidental, without meaning. These are all blessings from God. My job, my family, my friends, my health, my life. God can give and He can take away. All in accordance to His purpose. At the end of the day, it's not about me.

    The lyrics of one of my favourite songs are below. May it shed some light on Christianity- not a religion but rather a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. May it continue to be a reminder for me, to live life to the fullest according to His purpose.

    Blessed Be Your Name
    In the land that is plentiful
    Where Your streams of abundance flow

    Blessed be Your name

    Blessed Be Your name
    When I'm found in the desert place
    Though I walk through the wilderness
    Blessed Be Your name

    Every blessing You pour out
    I'll turn back to praise
    When the darkness closes in, Lord
    Still I will say

    Blessed be the name of the Lord
    Blessed be Your name
    Blessed be the name of the Lord
    Blessed be Your glorious name

    Blessed be Your name
    When the sun's shining down on me
    When the world's 'all as it should be'
    Blessed be Your name

    Blessed be Your name
    On the road marked with suffering
    Though there's pain in the offering
    Blessed be Your name
    (Matt Redman)  

    And so, for those of you who've been with me since the beginning (THANK YOU!!! ), you'll remember my ecstatic and almost childish (naive? ingenuous? ) thrill when CityLife Magazine in Toronto interviewed me and I had to choose my photo to put up. Who would've known that two years later, I'd be broadcasted LIVE on Bloomberg Television...? 

    I hope it's just the make-up, but I admit I do look OLDER in the 2nd photo, n'est pas?  Hmmm. C'est la vie.  

     

  • GERMS GERMS GERMS!!!

    Tuesday, Sep 1, 2009 11:31PM / Members only

    Saw many patients with the cold and flu last week. Didn't know there were people out there who didn't want to take Tamiflu, but there are! A parent brought her daughter straight from the hospital after being tested positive for influenza A and in the middle of being tested for swine flu because she wanted natural meds! ). Kinda got sick myself (felt horrible last night- sniffles, sweats, chills, nausea but couldn't vomit, just felt horrible! ). Slept many hours and now I'm slightly better.

    Over the weekend, we visited friends who just moved into their new nest.  

    Did I ever mention that I LOVE Carr's Table Water Crackers??? MMMM....  Sorry for the bad quality- they were taken from my camera phone.

     

    AND... Has anyone tried these???...

    Oops... A little blurry. Let's try again...

    FIRST BLUSH JUICES...  Just like wine, but without the alcoholPacked with antioxidants... and SOOOO yummy!!!

  • HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY, BELLA!!!

    Tuesday, Aug 25, 2009 1:49AM / Members only

    On August 24th, 2008, a cute little Bichon Frisé was born. She and 2 brothers of the same litter made it out to a pet shop in Hong Kong. One day, when she was 3 months old, she saw a young couple hanging around in the shop. She made sure she put on her best behaviour when they picked both her and her brother up to see which one they would provide a home for... Instead of frantically licking her potential owners (which her brother was ecstatically doing), she did what she does best- snuggle into her owner's arms and look bashfully yet peacefully up at her owner with the most forlorn expression

    We took her home.  

    Bella turns one year old!  We gave her a little cheesecake for dogs and a bag of goodies. After dinner with friends, we took her out to the Peak (also with friends) as a "birthday outing".  

    HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY, BELLA!

    Look at Bella's expression (yes, that's her TONGUE sticking out)!!!

    Yeah she did heh. And as for girls who are naturally pretty, such as yourself, I would hope they don't waste their time by putting on such a facade to try and lure guys in. Since their natural looks would probably do a better job anyway.

    YUkata is a kind of Kimono, but more casual. It is one layer and usually cotton. Kimono has 2 layers and its silk. :)

    Don't get me wrong.
    The weather in Toronto has been generally good but it just doesn't feel like summer most of the time. We'd probably get a week of summer weather. Then it drops back to spring-like weather. That's basically what Torontonians are complaining about. Not that I'm complaining or anything.
