Laugh or CryWhy do we laugh? Do we laugh just to cover up our sadness? Do we laugh because we want to hide our truth feeling inside? Do we laugh because we are really happy? Do we laugh because we don’t know what to do? Do we laugh because we want to show that we have a happier life than others? Why some people laugh much louder than others? Do they want attension? Do they want others to know

I took my Duke to the vet yesterday because he is showing symptom of diabetic. He has been drinking a lot of water since he became blind. He cries every night for at least half an hour before going to sleep. All the pets were sitting quietly in the waiting room except Duke, he was whining all through the time. I could felt the cats were irritated that they turned and stared at him. I was

Have you ever check out what people hang on the car front mirror? Some people really go to the extreme. I have seen: crystal ball, flower wreath, huge stuffed dices, baby shoes, handcuffs, cross, garter belt, chain, sunglasses, key chain, Chinese Fung Choi, mirror, stuffs that are very dangerous. I admit I hang a rosary but that is as far as I’ll go. Anything that is big I’ll hang it near the

Last Sunday when I was helping out at church after the Mass, this little kid came in with his mother was very cute. His name is Kevin and he is seven and three quarter years old. All through the time when his mother was purchasing, he was talking and laughing to himself. He tried to stuff all the t-shirts that his mother had purchased in his inside pockets. He looked like a little Santa. I

As I was driving home from work, this car drove right beside me with the window opened and music full blasted. I turned to see who is the idiot. I saw this guy moving his neck back and forth singing out loud. I mean out LOUD! It reminded me of the moving turtle that I bought in Cuba. I laughed. What was he trying to proof? I felt like throwing something at him for disturbing the peace. Hee Hee!

New toy We bought 3 sets of stainless steel solar garden lights from the Shopping Channel. My husband assembled the lights and plugged them in the garden. It looks a bit strange because it gives out white light. The style is very modern with the stainless steel top and body. The stick that goes in the ground is hard plastic. It comes in a set of 3 for $50 can. Do u think we pay too much?

$$$$ I won! I won! a $20 dollar at Birks. Big Deal! They decided whoever scored the highest sale of that day will receive a 20 dollar. Guess what? It was ME! Just a 20 dollar but I was happy. I sold a $1,600 necklace, a $595 peal necklace, a $300 watch and a $300 mont blanc pen in four hours. Luck has a lot to do with it. ALTHOUGH, I’m a good saleperson! :D

A Taste of Power! My boss is leaving next year and I have noticed people who are interested in the job have be very friendly with me lately. I mean very friendly, even go out of their ways to do things for me. I guess if they want the position, they better know how to work with the secretary first. Hee hee. Now, I have to come up with a plan on How To Train My Boss "MY WAY"! Any suggestions? :D

Bad News Okay, my cholesterol measured at 7.5 which is a BAD BAD news. Now I have to take a pill once a day for two months or until it goes down to 5.2 or at least 6. No moon cakes for me! :( No seafood of any kinds! From now on all lean meats and vegetables. Brown rice? Wonder what it tastes like? Any good vegetable recipes out there? :(

August Festival Mmmm, Good! This is the month for Moon cakes. Love them with yokes! My mom used to order them a year in advance when we were in Hong Kong. They came in cases with various variaty. When we got sick of them, my brothers used to cut them in small pieces and used them as weapon to throw at each others. It was FUN!!!! We did not have a BB gun those days! I WANT TO BE A KID

O My Goshee! My friends in Singapore found a dancing web site and guess WHAT? Mr. G and I were in it. We looked so stupid because we were just learning then. What happen was, we went to this Chinese organized group at the airport hotel for Christmas dance five years ago. Somehow, someone must had video the whole event for advertising, I guess, and put it in the web site. My friends were so

Last Monday I did all the ironing at home. Talk about ironing. I wonder what kind of material Dave’s shirts? It felt like canvas material. It’s very hard to iron and wrinkle easily. All his shirts are like that. Hougee, is this the material people wear now a day? Is this what you sell? I think he bought them at Gap!?

Do U believe in God? I have asked the Priest to bless couple crosses for my children this Sunday. As a mother, a true believer, I always hope guardian angels will be by their side when they are in danger. I guess "Hope" is what we live and believe in. Without hope, there isn't anything to look forward to! :(

Little thing I was surprised this morning when I found out Mr. G had ironed all my uniform for me last night before he went to bed. Not just ironed the clothes for me but did it before he went to bed? I was so touched. I said to myself, " I have no reason not to love this man." Such little thing and yet the feeling is so great. It is true that he doesn’t express himself by saying "I Love U" or "

Yesterday was a nice day starting with sunny and cool. Duke and I had breakfast at the backyard. We found a frog in the pond and BABY fishes. Our heater broke last winter and some of the gold fish did survived over the cold long winter and now they are parents. There is a small brown rabbit somewhere in the backyard. There was a grey rabbit but I think Dave scared it away. Went to get a hair cut,

ACCENT! What accent? I have a heavy accent, one thing about blogging is nobody can hears me. The guys here make fun of me all the time. People would call back and indicated that they have spoken to a Chinese lady and I hated that. Not because I’m not proud to be a Chinese, is because of my accent that distinguish me. I often wonder if my accent sounds horrible? When I answer the phone at home,

I have decided to take all Mondays off for the rest of the year. Vacations of course! That would leave me with only one week left for x'mas. I'll be able to enjoy a little bit of summer that is left. I need a plan: Have breakfast, lunch: coffee/tea, read newspapers by the deck or in the sunroom when weather permitted. I might do a little window shopping in between lunch and dinner or I might just
