Gordo said:”I haven’t had one single good meal since you are gone.”
Wait a minute–let me entertain this statement–It makes it sound like I am a good cook! An indispensable housewife.
But the truth is, there is nobody to cook for+the implication of what a good cook he is.
On the other hand, I’ve had some good meals in Shenzhen.
I met Phoebe’s fiancé. As for now he is not fiancé anymore. They registered the marriage just this morning.
Very nice guy. All the best! I’ve known Phoebe for 22 years and I wish the happiness she deserves.
Went to Terrace again Saturday night. I had 2 tequila shots a dry martini and a margarita. Phoebe being the designated driver only had one drink.
Sunday lunch at the Thai food place with JJ too, who I haven’t seen in years.
Monday morning tea with parents and came back. I think I am pretty stuffed.

Jenny

Posted in Main Page at 10:20 pm by Tammy

One beautiful morning when Jenny looked into the mirror she discovered something horrifying–small wrinkles around her eyes.
It freaked out this 36-year-old well-kept woman. She concluded that her well-paid-but-blood-leeching job is the culprit and decided to come home and stay wrinkle-free.
This makes Happy truly happy, (Happy is her dog) considering he was left alone in the house 24/7 Monday to Friday for 8 long months. This makes me happy too because I love dogs.
And because of these, I was able to visit Jenny and Happy today. (The two of them live in a quite big, nicely-decorated apartment)
It took me 2.5 hours to get there. It felt like going to another city, but it was worth it.
My amusing friend makes good company and Happy is a sweet dog.
We had lunch at this Hunan restaurant and Jenny told me funny stories of her dating disasters.
One of her comments:

–”When I saw him, I immediately regret spending so much time on my make-up.”

–”Any idea what this is?No, not perfume. It was a gift from my girlfriend and it’s supposed to be used on the clit. I’ve been using it on my face and hands all these time without knowing.”
“Does it burn your hands and face at all?”
“No, try, you try, try!”

We danced in the afternoon and went out for a walk.It was a bit chilly.
Jenny is a happy girl like she said. Sometimes I wonder–she looks so happy, and I look so cold. How the hell did we wind up always laughing so loud together?!

Allergy

Posted in Main Page at 12:16 pm by Tammy

I’ve always thought myself as very “callous”, very adaptive and insensitive and I’ve never had any allergy until last Sunday.
Now this is the third day and everyday it comes back despite the pill.
Not itchy any more after the first day but it develops red rashes all over my legs. It comes all of a sudden and it goes in 5 minutes if I take a pill, but it leaves a mark.
Now with no reason to pinpoint to, I have to blame the season for the time being.
I really could live without Spring.

Weekend in Shenzhen

Posted in Main Page at 7:19 pm by Tammy

Spent a great weekend in Shezhen. I’ve always wondered why I never go to SZ as often as I should. It’s a less than 2 hours’ trip and the shuttle bus is right at our gate leaving every half an hour.
I have some close friends that I haven’t seen in 2 years or more, but I could only meet XG, Phoebe and Nancy couple given the time is so short.
I went with Mira and stayed at my parents for 1.5 hours before going to dinner with XG and Nancy.
Good dinner at Garden City and short stroll down the coastal line at the condo where there was a “lighthouse”. Drinks at some club in the “Sea World” neighborhood. This place called Terrace has a band that is surprisingly good.
Barbecued around midnight at Seagul’s and met XY, a highschool classmate and now XG’s business partner.
Slept-over at Nancy’s and next morning Phoebe picked us up for a good “morning tea” at the lake.
Shopped a bit and at H&M I finally bought the same earrings that I lost last week.
Light lunch and went to see Phoebe’s new apartment.
Afternoon tea at the mall.
Mira and I were so overfed and left around 5pm despite my friends invitations for dinner–”What about curry? Thai food? more bar tonight? Stay one more night…”
And my mom is complaining she bought all these food and cooked all that soup and we didn’t even touch.
We both fell asleep on the bus right away.
Relaxation can be exhausting sometimes.

Almost deserted my little corner here. Life is so full of trivialities that if one day I didn’t write anything, the next day I forget.
Matter of fact, I was saying that, there are days it just passes by and it doesn’t make a difference. A day in a life that you could have it, or you could NOT have it all the same.How wasteful.
Today i almost became an ice-stick. It looks like another hot gloomy day when I went to the market. I have not been so “adventurous” after 25, but the day fooled me.Little breeze turned into some cold blast around midday in 10 minutes. It had to be on the only day I was in short jeans and that was just cruel! All of a sudden I became a walking joke.

Found some really nice fabric in Haiyin with ZY today, but we were wow-ed by the price. It’s 238/m, and I thought 80/m would have been quite expensive…

Little black dog almost went missing yesterday. She was nosing our business like always in the garage and suddenly became a missing dog. She ended up jumping at somebody else’s door on the ninth floor of the building. She took the elevator by herself and just went with the flow. Looks like she is as disoriented as me.

Some home-made pics with the pretty black blouse I bought with Zy the other day. I thought my eyes brightened up when i saw this blouse. The only thing, I don’t really know how to make smokey eyes. My make-up skills are rough.

Decadence

Posted in Main Page at 10:32 pm by Tammy

Geez winter is like a bad break-up. You know it’s gonna be over but there will be a few come-backs until it’s completely over.
Today I found Xiaotan’s only jacket (well, the only one that fits for this moment since she’s really putting up pounds…).

30 Things

Posted in Main Page at 7:50 pm by Tammy

The goofy boy Bradley said:”You should go out try to have some fun, because next year you will be ‘Oh My God!’” That triggers the crisis inside of me. But we didn’t find much fun on a strangely quiet Saturday night.
I have to thank Mira, my best friend, for the wonderful dinner and company.
My boss and ZY, for buying me a new phone.
Other than that it was an uneventful, crisis-felt birthday.
Silly things I found on internet–Just for fun:
