妈妈。。。

最近想家的老毛病有犯了。每天好几次都想回一探家。
如果世界上真的有Doraemon的门， 那不就ichiban啦。
可是我们活在的可是个现实的世界。一概都不那么完美。

几天前和一位老朋友对话里，跟她说了虽然离家快要十年了，
但是我常常也会想家，想妈妈。
她听了觉得很奇怪。 为什么还是会想念?
她以为我已经习惯了这里的生活， 应该不会那么想家。

其实每个人只会看到在国外工作的好处， 但是却忘了它的坏处。
我也好想像大家一样， 可以有空周末时回家。
心情不好时回家和妈妈诉苦， 想吃妈妈手艺时回家。
或者只是无聊，没事做， 而回家。
真是得来不易。 就这么简单的举动对我来说却那么的难。
当然我没有及格抱怨， 应为这也是我的选择。
选择留下来的我就应该争当。

昨天和妈妈通电话了，聊着聊着时间过得好快。
因为太想家了所以聊了将近2个小时。
听着她声音，我的心有点酸酸的， 甜甜的。
好奇怪的感觉。
她总是会问我吃过饭了没。
最近工作好不好， 一定要好好照顾身体。
好像我还是个小孩似的。

可能对妈妈来说，我真的永远都长不大吧。
我也不想在她的心目中长大。

真的好想她。
我要记得珍惜周边的人，事，物。你们也是。

梁山伯与茱丽叶

In the eastern world we have 梁山伯 and in the western world we have 茱丽叶. I guess when it comes to the word LOVE, we are all the same. No matter what your love story is, whether it is a bumpy road or a smooth ride, in my opinion it's the course of the ride that matter. No matter how many rides it take you, I hope you would reach your destination without regret. Enjoy the song.

Presenting the new daddy and baby, ta da...















My first post in this blog, I share with you the news of a new addition to the family and yes, he is here already.

Today post is dedicated to the brother that I have always fight with growing up who has just become a daddy this past month. Of course it would not have been a fun childhood if he is just a nice brother, I did enjoy all those fighting sessions we had. I haven't seen the baby in person yet but I can definitely feel the excitement and joy he brings to everyone at home. I can't help but this is a stupid question people always ask when they see a newborn. So, do you think the baby looks like the daddy? Daddy is all smile too... Can't wait to go home and play with him. I'm an aunt again :)

Colors of spring

Every year I told myself that I should go out and take some photos of spring time in the valley but every year I ended up not doing it. This year, before it is too late, I took out my camera and snap away. Here is a couple of them to show everyone the colors of springs, hope you guys will enjoy it as much as I do.

Luckily my mood came on time because a couple days after I shot these pictures, seems like spring is almost at its end... flowers petals are falling everywhere on the sidewalks and streets.
This also means allergy season is here. Oh my... I do hope this year my allergy would not be giving me terrible time.

Spring is in the air

I started this blog last June and was going to start posting here but never did really switch over. Although we are a quarter into year 2007, I'm really going to make an effort this time.
Spring is here and we are saying goodbye to winter. That means no more weekend going snowboarding at Lake Tahoe, it will have to wait until next winter. I love the air of Spring. Flower blossoming everywhere, streets dress up with all sort of colors, it really help lift the spirit in me. But then this past week I had to spent it alone since he is out of town on business trip.

Life alone can really be boring, so since it's spring, I spent my time doing some spring cleaning at home. Not done with everything but at least I got part of it done to my own satisfaction. Been putting it off since I came back from my vacation since I am in procrastinating state of mind.

Speaking of my vacation, I took 3 weeks off in mid-February and visited Australia. Travelled from Brisbane -> Gold Coast -> Sydney -> Canberra -> Melbourne. It was fun but the weather there is really terrible. I thought summer here in US is the worst but now I know it ain't that bad. I got tan line from forgetting to put on sunblock one day in the city, that is how terrible it was. So, for anyone who are planning on visiting Aussie, if you don't like sun, remember not to go during summer because it really hurt getting burn.

Here is a photo of Harbor Bridge in Sydney. Cheers...
