stress stress stress and tired week...

i had a really bad week... extremely busy... and upset...

i have been meeting with the "LB bitter gods" for more then a month already... this week... i got the worse "bitter god" list on hand... this family of 4 tortured me the whole tuesday!! from 12pm to 8pm... i was so stressed out... and cried after the meeting... not because i felt any sympathy... or sorry for them... i just feel wronged... very very 委屈... why i have to suffer?

the wednesday... another single "bitter god" torture for another 4 hours...

i'm soooooooo tired this week...
what can i do to release my stress?
yes...
shopping and spending...

thursday night... i went straight to cwb and bot many many clothes...
more about this shopping list later...

at disney?

sunday noon... we had buffet at the disney hotel to celebrate sasa's bday. as i'm not that into the disney characters and photos taking with them... i just went wondering around the hotel to explore the areas i like...

and i found they have a lot of victorian style mirror fame everywhere... just love them so much... can't held myself... need to shot them down where ever i see them...

found this at the main lobby... a huge one on the wall...


got this one from the basement washroom... the wall paper goes well with this frame...


this one... from lobby washroom... love the mirror in mirror set up...

baby miles

while all the girls and boys were busy catching up... we got a happy boy dance for us!! baby miles loves to dance dance dance... it wasn't easy to take a clear picture of him... unless...


unless you tell him him to dance the "freeze dance"... hahaha...

finally... a clear picture of lovely baby miles...

weekend night sfg gathering

it's been a long time we haven't get together la... we had a nice evening at the yyc club house this weekend... love the outdoor areas... so relaxing!! (we needed the outdoor area... cos we were to noisy la...hhaha...)

girls... say "cheese"...
(too bad some girls is missing here la... sabe, yc, cfu and susie...)


this photo proves that... boys are not too sensitive with camera... see... they were all busy doing their own business...
~ one talking on the phone...
~ one playing with the phone...
~ one busy eating...
~ two busing talking about investment related boring topic....

saturday noon with porpor

saturday afternoon when i was chitchatting with my porpor... i notice that although she is already 80+... her hands still looks very young... like 60+ only!! i forced her to take this photo cos she said her hands are ugly!! but i think they are still very pretty!!

autumn leaves...

when i was leaving office today... i found these leaves lighting everywhere on the floor... just right with our latest winter breeze... i don't think the swire group is doing this just to match our weather lately...i wonder what they are up to...

hung's bday cake in office

next week will be hung's bday... since she will be taking some days off next week... we celebrated her bday in office today... i was assigned to get her a cake... hahaha... of course i will get my favor cake one la... this is the oreo banana from teresa festival... yum yum...

bird cages...

the past weekend... i planned to dig out my winter clothes and get prepare for the winter... but before i launch this annual big project... i tried to tidy up my apartment first... after mom return guam... my place has been kept in a very messy mode... which i hate the most... so... i was trying to throw away some useless items...

for the bird cages... i finally counted the number of bird cages i have at home... i'm really crazy... i got 10... i took them all out and tried to decide the ones to keep and the ones to go... after some consideration.... i decided to keep 5 of them only 2 mini-size pieces and 3 bigger pieces shown below...

love this very much... got this in japan... it got a little glass birdy inside... very sweet set...


got them from bangkok... cheap but big enough from some dried aroma rose...

favor new necklace

these two were not from yesterday's shopping list... i got them some months ago and love to wear them lately... i don't know why... but it just matches most of my outfit lately...

i just wonder... can i ever stop buy accessories? especially necklaces and brooches?

somehow i know why i'm so addict to accessories and shoes... i got this bad habit from my mom!! hahaha.. .yes i do... i remember when i was a kid... every saturdays after all the drawing and piano lessons... she will go shopping with me and wait for dad... and i remember... she will go look around the shoes and accessories section at lc, lung-gee-hon (forgot the english name) and wing on... and i will eat my cola-bottle candy...

i missed the old days...

saturday... work & tea & shopping...

so sad that i got to work this saturday... seeing those "bitter god" again even on weekend!!!

glad that i can meet up the girls for a nice tea break... love the chatting and sharing during this difficult time for all of us...

what is missing after tea and chatting? how can we skip the shopping session!!! even during this difficult moment!! i guess shopping is the only way to get a relief...hahaha... and of course... all of us got empty wallet and took a paper bag home... we when to the bibelot again... and here is our shopping list:

motu : a lace glass mirror and a rose cup tea set...
hung : a book necklace and a printed recycle bag...
kae : a white glass necklace and a gold chunky necklace...

(will take some picture of them later...)

friday night... house warming gathering

friday night... was a night to relax for most of us... and so... we had a great gathering (and yummy hotpot) at ingrid's new home... finally... a night for some fun...

her new home got some great views...


and is very modern...


thanks to eve's idea and ada's efforts for getting this as the house warming gift... we all enjoyed it that night and i am sure ingird loves it very much too!!

(i don't believe the monopoly goes electronic already!! no more paper money...rather... everyone one of us got a money card!! the bank is now a machine... not the one holding a box of money already... no more exchange notes... this is amazing...)

you will see the rainbow after the storm...

today was a hard day...
tears in the office...
empty desk everywhere...
heartbreaking moments around the corners...

today i was very lucky...
but this is just the first wave...
my heart was aching every time when i heard about my colleagues...

never experience this kind of atmosphere in my life...

and i don't want to go through this again...

all my dearest friends...

don't worry... we will see our rainbow again very soon...

thanks sabe & motu...

sabe & motu... your emails were very touching...
i love love love this picture you sent me!!
you made me smile already...
don't worry... i'm okay now... i'm looking at the bright side!!

(although i already packed most of my personal item home already...)

i promise you i will try my best to keep my fabulous look... and won't look like "a dead piece of shxt"!!!

thanks elsa & ah-mui...

thanks my dearest precious... thanks for the dinner treat last night and spent the time at my place to divert my attention... i enjoyed our evening very much... (i just love to hear your "dite lung" laugh!!)

i had a really good sleep last night because of your love...

thank you...

what can you do?

got the bad news today...
there is nothing we can do now...
no one knows who is on the list...
all we can do is wait... wait... wait... and...
counting the days... just 2 more weeks to go...

dundundun... it's magic magic...

today is a very lazy day... at home sleeping sleeping and went massage in the evening...

~ 9:00pm : played badminton with garjair & mmjj...
~ 0:00am : siu-yeah with garjair, mmjj & their tong-brother "king"

king is a very nice guy... he played some great magic with us... extremely amazing!! i can't believe what i saw in front of me!! i really want to learn some of those tricks from him... before we learn those hard ones...he gave each of us a beginner little magic toy... i got the 刀鋸美人 (zig-zag lady)...

here is how it works...
(thanks honchi for the nice but dite-lung background music...)

leather goods (part 2)

beside the leather gloves from cythina rowley... i also got this leather jacket... it was a lazy sunday... had "guy fong" look tea with sabe near by our home... then we had a little window shopping after tea... it was suppose to be a "window shopping only"!! don't know why both of us got something we can't wear immediately... (oh... i got both leather goods with sabe wor!!)

this is not something expensive... just from b+ab... but i think this is really value for money wor... it is very soft lamb skin... pretty good deal... (i got sabe's approval before purchase gar! hahahah.. hahah..)....


love these little ruffle details... subtle but cute...

new checkers :: scarf

"checkers" is one of the big hit for fall08...
found this nice (reasonable price) frenche lippie scarf (it comes with a doggie brooch too!) at the little quarry bay shop some weeks ago...

without any second thought... got it immediately!!

new checkers :: jacket

besides the checkers scarf... i also got a jacket from magenta...

hmm..mmm... one question for myself... when can i stop shopping?

one devil arrived...

got this in my mailbox today...
devil devil devil!!!
... but i love this magazine very much... not only because of the brand... the whole magazine is a "printing" art-piece... why?

see this?
this is not a normal cover... this cover got some very special texture : sort of checkers matte canvas... very classy


also... got some nice photos... the page got a silky metallic effect... very chic...


love this picture of trees... again... this is not a normal picture... it got the 3-D effect...


last but not the least... of course i found something i like...and want... this picture also got the 3-D effect... i wish i can just take it out from the magazine and use it tomorrow... (dreaming...)

i need some water...

today was another busy day... non-stop talking talking... i think my first cup of water was already 6:00pm...

the first time i bot this oxygenwater was in 2004 when i visited paris with honchi... love the shape of the bottle... but i gave them to a friend as souvenir...

sometimes ago i found them in lane crawford... bot them home immediate... but since they were so expensive... i dare not to drink it... unless i really need some "oxygen"... tonight... i want to drink it as a little treat for myself...

before i drink it... i checked their official site... and found this -- "ogo flower power"... the bottle cap is pink!! so nice... per their description... "it is a non-alcoholic cocktail, a surprising balance of sweet and sour (i love sour) with subtle elderflower notes and lychee fruit..."... it sounds so fresh!!! i wish i can get one of this in hk too...

leather goods (part 1)

weather report said it will be cooler in the coming weeks... but will it be cool enough to wear leather goods?

some years ago, we only found cynthia rowley in japan... but now we already have it in hk but never visit the place... last month, it was my first time there with sabe... and... as usual... we dropped $$ there...

don't ask me why i got this pair of leather gloves... i know it is very unlikely i can wear them in hk... but... if you try them on... you will love them... the lace lace lookalike laser-cut makes it very special... and trendy... plus... they are super soft...

when i say "part 1" of leather goods... meaning... this is not the only leather item i got recently... more about that later...

drinks with the boys

after the walk and lunch at disney hollywood hotel... i dropped the kids home and went out to have dinner with the boys... as usual... we went lkf for some drinks after dinner... i don't know why... i just love to hang out with the boys and listen to their "dite b" jokes...

inspiration lake

yesterday noon i took my nieces (adria and azalea) to inspiration lake and join the boys. the weather was great... we enjoyed the lakefront walk very much... it was very relexing...

and something very sweet happened...

~ when little chris met adria, he held her hand and started their walk...
~ chris was like a gentleman... smiling all along the walk...
~ adria was very timid... just walked along with chris...
~ and adria was very caring too, she held her little sister azalea hand and walked together...

very cute and sweet little kids...

all kids say cheers together...
