Valentine...

Friday, 13 Feb 09, 11.04pm at home

Hellow little diary,
Phew! It's been so long time since my last diary. Yes, I've been busy recently, night and day, day and night. Today is a black Friday; Friday the 13th!! When I heard from my friend that today is Friday the 13th, do you know what I first remembered? I suddenly remembered my diary! I started writing diary on the black Friday too! Not in February, but it was on Friday the 13th. That's why after showering, I opened my laptop, and I'm writing diary now.

Tomorrow is Valentine's day! Yea, everybody knows that. Everybody must be so happy and excited preparing for tomorrow. It's a love day, a day when people show love to their beloved someones. I said 'someones', not 'someone'. It means that Valentine's day is not only for couples or lovers. It's such a sweet day for everyone! *What do you want to say?*

This morning I asked my hubby:
Me: Do you want us to do exchange gift tomorrow?
Ron: No need
Me: Ok.
The conversation was ended just like that.

After office I went to shops to search for the best Valentine's gift for my hubby. In the middle of gift hunting, my hubby called me and asked me to go home quickly. I can sense that he already knew something. Then, finally I found something! I carried that thing inside a paper bag that can't be seen from outside. After I reached home, my hubby was there looking at my paper bag but he didn't say a word. I was relieved! When I was about to put that paper bag on my hidden place quietly, he suddenly appeared in front of me with a loud voice saying 'Aku ngga liat apa2 lho.. aku pura2 ngga tau apa2 lho..' (meaning: I didn't see anything, I pretend that I don't know anything)

You know what? I was quite disappointed. On his bday, I failed to surprise him because he already knew that and he even told me that he knew! This time is not that bad but why can't he just pretend that he doesn't know without saying that 'Aku pura2 ngga tau apa2 lho'?? It's so hard to give surprise after you get married. Now I understand why husband-wife don't give presents to each other. I thought it's because they already know each other very well till they don't need a present to represent their feeling. I think another reason is also because they are tired of getting spotted when they are preparing the surprise. It's ok, Valentine is all about love, not about the gift, right? Happy Valentine's day, diary..

Tea Pot Set

Sunday, 1 Feb 09, 10.53pm at home


Hellow diary..
Now is the first day of the month of February. I started this month by having this special lunch set at home this afternoon. I bought this tea pot set with the warmer using a candle in Shanghai. Hmm, I just want to keep a record on the first day when I used this tea set. *Why?* Because this tea set is so cute. *So?* So I love it so much! *Then?* Then I uploaded the picture here la. Ok, honestly, I saw this tea pot set for the first time when I had dinner at a Yunnan restaurant in Beijing. This picture on the right was the tea pot at the restaurant. Yea, I know what you are thinking. The tea pot in the restaurant looks so much nicer than my tea pot, right?

Ok, back to the story. On the same night when I met this cute tea pot for the first time, I was so frozen. Please take note, I did not say 'I was so cold', but I did say 'I was so frozen' and I really meant what I said. It was a bloody damn cold day in Beijing and my hands were REALLY frozen. You won't believe it if I tell you that my finger tips are now still a little numb because on that night I did not wear my gloves. We were on the way to find our hotel in the first night in Beijing. I thought the weather was not that unfriendly, I thought my sancham was thick enough to me, so I did not wear gloves and hat. But I was wrong. On that night, the outside temperature was around -8C and it was soooo windy. My hands were holding map and some other papers containing 'our lives' (I mean, the hotel confirmation, plane e-ticket, tour confirmation, and maps of other cities) so I couldn't hide my hands inside my pockets. My hands felt nothing till the papers all flew out of my hands by a strong wind unconsciously, till my hubby had to help me to pick all the papers with his purple face (read: angry but at the same time he knew that I was as clumsy as ever).

I thought I was going to die on that night. And I kept telling my hubby that I was going to die soon. I kept saying that I was frozen to death and please don't go so far away from me just in case I wanted to say my last message. You know what my hubby replied me? He said 'You are still talking so much, so you are not dying'. Yes, thanks to him to say this to me because his words had successfully boiled my blood and I felt warmer after that.

After we found our hotel. We went to that Yunnan restaurant to have dinner and drink hot tea. The feeling of drinking something warm was so awesome! That is why I'm so in love with that tea pot. That tea pot saved me, that tea pot was my hero! It always reminds me that I'm still alive.

Once I returned to Hong Kong, I found out that my towel was still hang outside on my balcony. I deeply understand how my towel felt to be frozen to death. So, I quickly bring my towel in. You can check out my pictures in China at my other blog here. *Hey, are you just lazy to put up the photos here?* There are too many photos. *At least upload one picture in China here!* I already uploaded that tea pot picture, it was taken in Beijing, ok?
