To be like a child
March 10th, 2010 by Doris
Just thinking about the conversation I have with Emily a while ago… when an adult is asked to listen and follow certain thing, the first question he might ask is: why should I? Can I not go the way I like? This is simply an expression of a fashion. Everyone could have different opinions and what if I have an inspiration? To some extend I agree and it is good to have different opinions as this is how new ideas is formed and things can be improved. However, I strongly believe that a guideline is always needed and knowing to say/do the right thing at the right time or being obedient is important. Otherwise, we will never know where and how to begin, unity will be never formed and the mission will never be directional. Then, we compared with a child. When a child is asked to do something, he follows without asking any question. He just simply accept what he was told is the right thing to do. Sometimes, I think God wants us to be like a child, to think simple and to act simple and not to manipulate His words with our so called intelligence.
嫲嫲

當我收到關於嫲嫲的消息， 心裡有如被一把尖利的刀刺到般的疼痛。 淚水像是湧泉般的在心內流動。一刹那之間，真的無法接受這個事實。隨著一分一秒的過去，心情也慢慢的平伏下來，腦中也浮現出很多關於嫲嫲的回憶。
嫲嫲給我的印象一向是和藹可親的；記得從小到大，每逢佳節，我們都一定會去探望嫲嫲。等待著我們的，除了一桌子的佳餚，一箱一箱的玩具，印象最深刻的，就是嫲嫲的笑臉。不論我還是小孩子的時候， 或是已長大成人，每次見到嫲嫲的時候， 她總是會以那和善、溫柔而燦爛的笑容來迎接我。由於我們一家已離開香港到外地生活十幾年，可以探望嫲嫲 的機會並不多。 但嫲嫲從不會因為我們對她的疏忽而感到不高興， 反而總是掛念我是否過的好。我知道嫲嫲是打從心底裡疼愛我們每一個，她那份無條件的愛令我深深受感動。雖然嫲嫲現在不在我們身邊，但她的教導將會永記在我腦海中， 她的愛會永遠不變的深印在我心裡。
嫲嫲，妳的離開，雖然令我們心痛，但我深信妳是到了一個更美好的地方， 也知道這只是暫時的分離。將來，我們我們一定會在天家再見面。那時候，我們要再一次在妳的笑容中，與妳閒話家常。我答應你，我在地上的日子會好好的生活，好好的照顧自己，請妳不用掛心。
嫲嫲，願妳安息主懷。
Home alone…

A couple weeks ago, Leo has received a heartbreaking news that is his grandma has sadly passed away. On Monday, Leo flew to London after work with easyjet which arrived in London Gatwick airport. Then, he took an hour bus ride to London heathrow, continued with a airport shuttle to the airport hotel for an overnight stay. Next morning at 9:30am, he took jetairways to Hong Kong via India.
Until Leo is back on Sunday afternoon, I am home alone this week. I stayed in the lab for a little bit longer than usual. After I got home, I cooked myself a simple meal and watch HK drama for whole night. It is a strange feeling to be alone in a house, there is nobody else except myself and the computers. It has been especially cold this week, under 10 degree! It feels especially cold when there is noone sleeping next to me at night.
My dear, although I miss you very much, you don’t need to worry about me. I can take care of myself and you need to take care of yourself there too. Don’t get bully by others

Back from Nice
September 23rd, 2009 by Leo
We spent the last long weekend in Nice, Monte-Carlo and Cannes.
This time we travelled with Faith & Christy. Surely, we had a very enjoyable and fun time!
Nice scenary, nice food, nice chats.
Amongst the 3 cities, I like Cannes the most. It has the best scenary and very enjoyable walk-path by the beach. Living in Switzerland, different from in NZ, causing us not having a chance to see the sea for a very long time! And for the last 3 days, we have been walking along the beaches, smelling the smell of the ocean, feeling the breeze, walking on the sand…
Not to be missed are the nice seafood, wine, steak, cocktail, ice-cream…
We spent the last 1/2 hour in a beach-side restaurant drinking nice cocktail. It was a pity that we had to rush to the airport. It would be so great if we could sit there for only another 1/2 hour…
Back from London

It is always great to meet up with friends. Last weekend Doris & I visited London again to meet Mary, Tang & Jin Tau. Mary is leaving London in a few weeks’ time, and hence we thought we should visit her before she goes.
Unlike most of our trips, we didn’t bother to visit the tourist attractions. We just have a relaxing weekend, walk around, lots of chats, eat eat eat, and I did some reading as well.
We visited a big toy store – 7 levels full of toys! We bought 2 new Lego sets, which are basically board games built by Lego. The set that I really wanted was out of stock 
And by reading the catalogue, I found that there is another set that I want ….
We watched the “Dirty Dancing” musical and it was surprisingly good. Love the dancing and the stage design – superb. I give 8 out of 10.
We stayed at Mary’s place this time (thanks Mary) and as usual, we are being taken care of very well.
