Nail art is fun!

There are various reasons I want to visit the Richmond Night Market:
1. Go there for food
2. Go there for cheap CD-R/DVD-R
3. Go there for unique special items/decorations.
4. Go there as an "exercise" after dinner, when we ate too much.
5. Got nothing much to do at night.

For whatever reasons, we will go there at least once during summer.

This time we go there for dinner.

We bought various dim-sum type food including siu-mai dumpling, BBQ chicken/beef satay, rice roll, fish ball, mini Japanese pizza, dessert crepe etc.

After that we walk around other booth.

There's a booth selling nail stickers and a very trendy Japanese salesgirl (can tell by her accent) tried very hard to sell those nail sticker. She even put on various sample on my nail and they look really nice.

She's so kind putting so many sample stickers on my nail. And it's so pretty that I can't resist to buy a few to try out.

At first I only put 2 flowers on each of my thumb.

And then the temptation comes...I finally dress up all my fingernails with Spring Flowers.

I even bought a nail art magazine and of course, I bought more stickers when I re-visit the booth.

Here's what my hand looks like now:



Nail art is FUN!

幸福瑪利亞

好像是一首歌的名字。不過不記得內容了。

對我來說,瑪利亞是一個神聖的名字,可能是我自小在天主教學校唸書的關係。

我認識的瑪利亞,活脫是聖潔純真的小天使;也是虔誠的天主教徙。

嬌小的個子,甜美的笑容,長髮飄逸的她,性格卻不盡然是嬌艷羞澀,正如她自取的別號一樣,是充滿活力的快樂小兔。

跟她一起游泳,才見識到什麼叫做「雙腿好似摩打」。

跟她一起跑步,我用盡了吃奶的氣力都跟不上。

使我更佩服的是,一但她決定要做好的事情,必定會愒盡全力,力求完美,有着無比的幹勁與毅力。看她自己動手油漆的家居便知道,比起我付了幾千塊的「專業」裝修人員更專業:所有的牆壁都先給打磨,才掃上油漆。遇到不平滑的地方便加以打磨,再重新補上油漆。在工作上我也同樣看到這種認真的工作態度,真的使我自愧不如。

在感情路上,我很慶幸她找了屬於自己的幸福。在她身上我看到了無私的愛情,在這功利的俗世裏,連我也差不多相信再沒有這種愛情存在。

謹以此文,祝福我的好友瑪利亞,婚姻美滿,永遠幸福快樂。

I've got luck?!

I was lucky enough, to be elected to be part of the jury, for a 80 days criminal case.
Well...I started to get worried...since I heard that company do not pay during those days. There is court fee but it's minimal. So that means...4 months without regular pay? I have no idea how I'm going to survive.

After a bit of asking around, I finally realized that getting the court letter doesn't mean I AM the juror right away. I still need to go through an "interview" from both side of lawyers and the judge. Perhaps I won't get picked by the judge or the lawyers. Another things is, the employee handbook does state that company will pay full during the jury period. So that's good news.

The court day is early September, we'll see.

Although, being the juror is part of the responsibility of the citizen, I seriously doubt my limited English capability will lead me to wrong judgment. I do hope I won't be that "lucky" again to be picked in that day.

I don't consider myself as a very lucky person. I don't win much lottery nor big prize from any draw.

But my excessive speeding charges do get dropped after two years for no reasons. I considered myself very lucky.

And since then I drive slow every day (ok, almost) and there is one day, that only 1 day that I'm kinda tired and do not pay attention to the speed too much when cruising downhill. Then there comes the police. When I see the police's laser gun pointing at me, I guess it's all OVER. Surprisingly he didn't stop me. There is already another car being pull over so I guess they are too busy to stop me. But if I drove 2 minutes later, I'm sure there is no escape.

So perhaps I do have the luck, who knows?!

When can I get the Lotto 649 or Super 7 jackpot...... :P
