mucked-up sis chat today on the deck while sipping on lattes and nibbling on cinnamon swirls.
accompanied by the swishing sound of waves
a beautiful afternoon with my beautiful besties.

conversation began with a hilarious chat about the enjoyment of authority that secretaries at law firms (and translators in high court). the art of bundling files. haha!

then went straight into the topic of Mr. E.
maybe i should confront him now
maybe i should confront him when we're in the same city
maybe..

maybe he's dumb and doesn't know i like him
maybe i should just tell him
maybe we don't need to be friends if it all fails.. right?
not?

A said that year when we were 17, she marched up to see P to ask and tell her how she feels. Because she needs to 讓他知道是他的責任， 因為決定權在他手中。 要LOL的都是他， 而不是自己。

so brave. so true.

懂得後悔代表著我們還是青春.

took silly pics at the seaside like tourists.
crazy windblown hair  haha

parted with tons of hugs,
we're gonna miss shakechee

as always :)

i don't want to forget.

woke up and called grandma today for a lunch meetup. grandma was tanning in the sun when I called. Went to her place at half past noon.

gave her wetherby's toffees. she likes them!

then we went to eat noodles with dumplings, fried vermicelli, fried rolls wrapped in rice rolls.

then went to visit grandpa at the hospital. he has switched ward to the recovery patient ward. pretty nice conditions! grandpa ate Dextol lime candy that I bought hehe. He also held my hand and said he ate 6 almond cookies the day before ^^

on the way back to grandma's, she invited me over to drink leungcha. and on the way, we passed by a stall selling sweaters. she really wanted a pink one. so we looked and I paid. she asked me to save my money for myself and not to buy her stuff. but she didn't refuse. and she was happy ^^

we went to pick up my curtains before going home. grandma was walking slower and slower, i noticed she was tired.

we also had a chat about hats and I asked whether she wants a gray hat. she asked me how it was like and whether it had a tongue. I said yes. she said she wants a gray hat, or better, wine red. i';; find the perfect hat!

drank leungcha. and looked at grandma's hat collection. grandma said her head is small so she can't wear big hats, so the hat cousin Nana bought for her from Japan can't be used. She also showed me a cap that grandpa bought in Hawaii years ago. She even remembers that it was $3 USD....

After that she insisted on going to buy vegetables herself and told me to go home.

I did. While stopping at the library and got Emily Giffin's 'Where We Belong'


At night, i talked to Dennis. He's probably going to come to HK to visit grandpa with Sally and Evelyn!!! can't wait to see my cute niece

PS: need to take photos with grandma!

I touched poop today.

Accurately speaking, it was less than 15 minutes ago.

No, not mine. My cat's.

I remember the last time I touched poop was two years ago, when my bunny was still with us.

I didn't mind, then, to clean his cage everyday and to clear his toilet.

Because I loved him.

Tonight, I almost woke my mom when my cat Gummy diarrhead and had to have some of its bottom fur trimmed.

Instead, I took him into my arms and did the job myself. Snip snip snip.. and I touched the smelly dirty bits of fur that was contaminated.

I didn't mind. All I wanted to do was to cut off those bits, so he could be a clean happy kitty.

I didn't mind.

I felt like a mother.

I did it because I love my cat.

then I realized.. if you really love someone, you wouldn't mind getting your hands dirty for him/her.

Like a mother cleaning her baby's butt.

Like my uncle cleaning up my ailing grandpa's mess everyday.

Love makes a person do irrational things,
But it also make a person grow to be able to take up challenges.

Even disgusting things like touching poop.




Btw, I found out that there's nothing cuter than a toddler saying Our Father at Sunday mass.
