Didn't get up to much today 30.6.08

We didn't get up to alot today, we went to get my shoes which was so nice!! However we spent a lot of time looking at evening dresses (but wasn't happy with any) for me.

I only took one picture of a desert that four of us shared today as follows:


I didn't feel so well today, bit dizzy and hot. Hope I am not going down with something @@

Revisiting the graves of my relatives after 10 years

29.6.08


It was a rainy day today, which is kind of suitable for the mood I was in before I even got there. I found it the most strange that I was blinking tears as I participate in the preparing and yet when I was there: no tears came, I was brave and faced with the reality which felt so foreign
I found the preparation very interesting, it reflects so much about modern living (they sell paper mobile phones, electronic cards, hi-fi etc for burning to offer to the deceased) as well as about culture and the pscyhology of the living. I saw many of the items and papers had 'lucky' words written on it e.g. "turning luck for the better" "the higher spirit solving our suffering" and "wishing all to go smoothly and according to our wish".

Here's the stuff we bought in preparation:







Here's the view from the middle section before we reached where my deceased family was:






Here's some action of offering:






Stopping off at the Shatin's Inn, a hot spot for people of my mum's generation - my mum and uncle has been there before. We were there for lunch (I had draught beer & Sketers)






We visted a koi 'farm' and the wishing tree after lunch, a tours of new territories only ended at 18h00. By the time we go to eat sushi at a sushi shop in Tuen Mun I was too tired to take more photos:)

27.6.08

We went to the HK Histroical Musesum after I met up with my one and only friend in hk - Lina. Lina and I had so much to chat, It's amazing to still have such a great friend having been out of hk for so long!! It's a real treasure:)
























After the musesum, we went to fetch Aaron and mine wedding invitation cards, it looks like nice:) I am very happy with them, got a bit of a chinese feel to it!! It reminds me that my days of singlehood is numbered@@

Dinner was a nice treat by small uncle and aunty.. we had some pizza - interesting way of cooking combination of herbs.

HK Wetlands Park & eating out for dinner 27.06.08

Mum, tony and I went to the HK Wetlands park today. I missed walking in nature with Aaron as I walked through the park. We went through it too quickly for my likings but I have taken a lot of photos there too. See as followings








Secondly, mum treated everyone in the family to a nice meal for dinner tonight. And afterwards, uncle min took us to a desert shop in sin-gin (?think it might be the wrong spellings). I had a mango bin~! here it is...
