Special

很久沒有post了。Blog, 像是被遺忘的名字,上世紀的產物。朋友當中有blog 的,都沒有再更新。也許長篇大論的blog已被twitter取代,我不知道。我沒有twitter,也不打算安裝,我並不喜歡那種三言兩語的速食溝通方式。我想,也許我是一個喋喋不休的人吧。

這半年來,我的生活都可算起了重大變化,對於人和事,基本心態都沒有改變,我還是我,儘管身份已有所不同。

言歸正傳,本篇特別的地方,在於我第一次用iPad 來寫。我並不是一個熱衷享受試用新科技的人,今次心血來潮搜尋blogger app, 並不「常見」。用ipad寫中文最大的不同之處,便是使用手寫輸入法,平時在電腦靠拼音輸入;換言之,現在真的需要記得怎樣「寫」字,幸好so far so good。

我不能擔保這裏可以定期更新,至少,我不會把這裏關門大吉。如果有緣「到此一遊」的話,歡迎留下隻字片語,作為「有緣千里能相會」的印証。而我,亦會儘量抽空寫上點滴生活軼事,心路歷程,下次再會了。

Busy busy...

My hubby's birthday celebration weekend...
Friday: dinner in friend's place.

Saturday: dinner with in-law's family

Sunday: Brunch with friends on Salmon House. Great view and great brunch! Then go to Richmond Sears to do some shopping.

Monday: Actual birth date. Had dinner in Le Crocodile. We want to try that restaurant for long time. Heard that it's really pricey. But it's my hubby's birthday, I have the perfect excuse to be there. We are both very satisfied with with dinner! Actually the price is about on par with other fine dining restaurant.

Work-wise:
Monday + Tuesday: busy with interview, and the follow up work.

Very productive weekend

Friday: dinner @ friend's place as usual.

Saturday: dim sum and hang around with friend's family for the afternoon. I'm so glad my friend offered help. I even feel bad to ask them but since he called, I have no reason to reject, in which I really need. And I just have to treat them dinner as well.

Sunday: Had class from 9-4. Pretty exhausted, the class itself is not bad. It's better than the last one I attended. Then I went back to work for a bit. Got too hungry and my mind wasn't able to focus much. Decided to have dinner instead. Well, I do work about 1.5 hour though.

週末的雪

週末的雪,來也匆匆,去也匆匆.

It started Saturday morning, but by mid-Sunday it's all gone as it rains quite heavily on Sunday.

Usually I don't go out when it snows. I just don't like the chaos traffic and also, I don't walk very well on snow/icy floor.

Anyway, since I already planned to have dim sum with my friends so I still went out quite early, 11:30am is considered early to me to have dim sum on the weekend.

After dim sum, we went to visit their place. We stayed until 3-ish then shop in a few store.

I had dinner at home while my hubby attended a wedding banquet. I feel kinda bad that I was going with him but it snows too much and it's really cold to go out.

Sunday
Dim sum and then also went to a store on Cambie street that we wanted to go last time but we went too late. This time we got there earlier but just happened that they closed on that day (they don't usually closed on Sunday). Anyway, it's like a fate that we are not going to get anything from that store.

After that, head to Richmond Center and then had dinner at home.

By Sunday night, snow is 95% gone in my area.

Shopping weekend!

Friday
Dinner @ my friend's place.

Saturday
OK...I was thinking to have half an hour walk to Oakridge center and then take skytrain to meet up my friend in Richmond. But the plan doesn't work out as I was sticking my butt on the couch...watching an old HK move...Anyway, I was only able to walk to the nearby skytrain station and still almost 10 minutes late. But of course, we are still 5 minutes late to the appointment. What appointment? I'm helping out my friend to pick out her wedding outfit. I always think I'm a picky person but perhaps I'm not that picky, as I see how my friend picks her dresses... :P
But yes, I can understand, wedding is one of the biggest if not THE biggest event in life, so being picky/cautious on the outlook is absolutely understandable. After that, we went to have dim sum lunch near by and then shop in Richmond center for a bit. Of course I don't intend to buy anything but at the end, I got a coat, and 2 bra! Yes I'm running a bit shortage on bra as I gain weight...and it's great sales in Jacob...so I just can't help to buy 2... and two for $30. Also bought a coat from R&W and a t-shirt for my hubby. I didn't shop in R&W much but I guess I can go a bit more often. The styles are pretty good for me actually.

Around 4-ish, I went to meet up my other groups of friend and my hubby in Automall. My friend is considering buying a new car. After that we went to a store along Bridgeport (just before it closed) and shop a while. Seems to find a good deal but of course I should shop around as well.

Dinner in in-law's place. Went home around 9:30.

Sunday
Had lunch at home. Then went to the store across the street to do some shopping. Seems to have a good deal but too bad they don't have the colour I want. Also we want to check out the review a bit before actually purchase. Then we went to Mini dealer because I'm actually quite interested in the Countryman. It's just such a cute car and yet more practical than mini. I do think 2-door car is not as practical unless you are in early 20s. We didn't really go for test drive but at least we take a look at the interior and price. After that, we went back to the cambie store but too bad it's closed early on Sunday. Then we went to Toy-R-Us on Broadway. Didn't actually buy anything though. After that we had raman in a nearby restaurant. It's not bad. We went home quite early and sleep early too (although it's mid-night!)

One hour walk. 5KM round trip along the dyke during lunch hour. The wind is a bit chilly but overall it's a nice day to walk.
