As the summer approaching, the thought of having a BBQ by the lake emerged. Christy and I have been talking about this for a few weeks and finally we have decided to do something last weekend. Hence, we decided to have BBQ by the lake of Vidy on Saturday 5pm (awaiting for the sun to come out – otherwise at our place). On Saturday morning, Leo and I slept in a little bit to regain our strength after a busy tiring week. During the day, we went out for an hour for grocery shopping and also spent some time cleaning our place – clean and tidy (for how long I am not sure 
)! For the rest of the day, we were just enjoying each other company and waiting for friends to turn up.
We had such a great time with friends – There were Leo and I, Christy, Sandi, Kui Thong and his family, Ken and Faith. It was actually the first time we used our balcony and the bbq grill! Everyone was enjoying themselves and our living room was fill with joy and laughter.
On Sunday morning, we attended the bible study at 10:30am. This was the first time we had bible study since we moved to Switzerland. We really felt that it is necessary to pay more attention on our understanding to the bible and our spiritual growth which many people has ignored its importance. The discussion on eternity and how many christian and non christian have misunderstood it was very intriguing and motivating. The English service started at 12noon after the bible study. After that, we went home for a rest before we went down to Ouchy to watch the NZ vs Italian match at 5:00pm. New Zealand did very well, their defense in particular: 1-1
嫲嫲
October 20th, 2009 by Leo
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 .
Waiheke Island- day 1
August 8th, 2009 by Doris
Yesterday, I drove mum and kat to the half moon bay ferry terminal to take a ferry ride to Waiheke island for a weekend trip. Usually, we can take the ferry from downtown but this time we are taking our car. It took about 1 hr ferry ride to reach Waiheke island. Lolly was very excited and terrified at the same time and that she pees on my pants!
After we reached Waiheke island, we drove straight to the holiday house that we booked. After driving through a curve unformed road, we were finally there! The house is huge and nice with a big deck and with a beautiful view looking out to the sea! magnificent! Lolly was overwhelmed and was running around everywhere!
At 5:30pm, we got a called from Christima that she has just missed her ferry and she won’t arrive until 7:00pm. Hence, we decided to go out for dinner first. We went to this italian restaurant and had couple pizzas and salads. They were absolutely delicious! Then, we went to the ferry terminal to pick up Christina and went back to the holiday home.
Long but great day

Yesterda after Sunday service, we invited Rev. Lo and his wife to have lunch at our place. I have prepared the pasta sauce the night before and all we needed to do was to cook the pasta. We had a relaxing lunch and good chat about a lot of things. After they left around 4:30pm, we decided to take a short nap. Then, I woke up again to prepare dinner as Faith was coming over for dinner. We had a very good time chatting as well. It is great to have known some friends here in Lausanne. And thank you Faith for the lovely earrings!
