secrete message #1

Dear old man sitting next to me at the coffee shop,

Thanks for your silent company while I am almost falling asleep on my reading.
I just want you to know, your sandwich looks so much more delicious on your plate than when it was in the showcase.

p.s. hope you enjoyed your sandwich!

Best,
HK

surprise!!!

Last Saturday
Hiro and I flew to HK to give my parents a surprise visit

It was the best weekend ever

My parents were so overwhelmed
My mom couldn't fall asleep that night cos she was so excited

I never thought they would be this happy

All my parents needed was just a simple gesture of love and caring
I knew that all along
I love them so very dearly
Yet unexpressed feelings are often hard to be perceived

Memo to myself:
"Let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth" 1John 3:18

Time to text my parents!!

So...

Cookies it is!!

Oatmeal Chocolate chips cookies...
recipe from 101 kitchen

Oh... How I love the smell of baking

I am ready for valentine's day!

Before I realized
We are in the 2nd month in 2013 already

Life is between
Bed, food, kitchen, snow, school...more food...and FB (sadly?!)

It's about time for a bit of excitement
It's about time to do some baking!!

Muffins? Cookies? Scone? Cake?
Where should I start?

A few of my favorite things ( in the past few months)

1) back to Canada... there's nothing better than seeing old friends
2) seeing Norah Jones live!!!!
3) my best friend's wedding!!! See you in Tanzania soon!!!
4) hanging out with my parents...they are the coolest ever!!
5) spending a relaxing weekend with my hub

On my back

I can't even recall when was the last time I used a backpack

But it's calling me back

I tend to carry A LOT of stuff with me when I go out
My right shoulder is now suffering the consequence

And only recently i realized that backpack is THE remedy to the pain

Feeling HOT HOT HOT!!!

Unfortunately
the heat that I complained on my last post has escalated...

Hiro gave in
A brand new air conditioner is installed in our bedroom since yesterday

I don't particularly fancy artificial coolness
But God bless this new AC
Both of us were able to sleep through the entire night without waking up
