A Splendid Wedding

This was a delightful day. Congratulations to Chris & Gill, hope they have many happy years to come. Cheers!

Manicure & Pedicure

This is my 1st manicure and pedicure ever, and the experience? If you care, haha, read here (titled Bad Mama). By the way, if you dont know, my name is Rachel ;P

Today I went to visit Selena and her new born, Istra, again. Istra is super adorable!! So soft and tiny, her skin is silky smooth. o...I love her, she is so cute that I want to put her arms and feet in my mouth, haha. Istra is only 12lbs, but my arms still got tired after holding her for a while. Istra has blue eyes and dark hair, but apparently, Selena told me that babies' eye & hair color will change as they grow older. Selena's hunsband had dark hair when he was a baby, but then it turned to white blonde when he was 2, and he is still a blondie now. Also, Jessica told me that she got blue eyes when she was a baby, but now she has brown eyes...isn't that weird?



I am going to Chris's (Jon's friend) wedding this Sat, that's why I wanted to have my nails done. This will be the 1st wedding I will ever attend too, and I am worried that it will be an unpleasant expereince (too).....coz Jon and I cannot go there together, and we will not eat in the same table. Since Jon is the groom's best man, according to their tradition, Jon has to sleep at the groom's house the night before, and he will have to eat in the family table too.

The wedding venue is a golf course which is about an hour away from Toronto. So, this is what will happen, Jon's friends will come pick me up, and the whole day, from 3pm to late night, I will be hanging around with them, if Jon is busy...

I still dont know which dress I am gonna wear! I have a black one and a yellow one, I bought them for the wedding. The black one, it's very cute, but heard that shouldn't wear black in weddings...the yellow dress is good but a bit plain and I will be the only yellow person who wears yellow there...hopefully, no one will notice this significant resemblance, haha. I am complaining about everything, have worries and anxiety, but I am still looking forward to having fun in the wedding tho. I will let you know how it goes ;)

Bin Tai

This wacky silly video always cheers me up. I sent it to my friends, most of them think that is quite "Bin Tai"...

Tough Shit

We have been watching 6 Feet Under from HBO , we've finsihed the entire season 1-5, one more episode to go, then the show will be over. I cannot belive that such a great show will really come to an end. Every episode is so well written, we feel like we have gone thru a lot with the Fischers already. We have more memories of the Fischers than our own...haha. The show always remind me of one thing, life is tough. (it's not really a depressing show, the show is great, trust me.)

When I was younger, maybe even just few years back then, I used to think that the future is bright, I looked forward to it. As I grew older, I found out death was the default of life. To live, you have to keep feeding yourself, working hard, staying healthy. Happiness is not guaranteed, you have to work hard for it too, oh, even you work hard for it, you still might not get it tho. What is guaranteed? Death. You have to deal with your love ones' death and your own. I know that's what waiting for me in the future, and that is for sure too, isn't that scary? Sometimes, I think life sucks. Can't I just stop doing anything and be lazy? Why it is so hard to get anything to work?

People who really have a tough life will say to me: Tough shit, you should be gratefuly that you have this kind of time to write such a long boring blog.

Since I've spent quite some time with my mom's friend's kid many years ago, I lost tremendous interest in kids. And I thought, how could parents spoil kids like that...I would never spoil my kid if I was a parent. I even thought that kids could be very evil sometimes...haha, I know it's so horrible for me to think that. I read an article recently, basically it's saying life is tough for everyone, for kids too, they are struggling to grow up and to learn, so let's be less critical on kids and the parents, be patient with them. I think I didn't do this article a juctice, coz I was touched when I was reading it. Let me find the link, will post it here later.

Lock up the puppy dog

As I mentioned, Jon is a super spoiled kid, he is very fussy with food, he doesn't eat seafood at all, the only seafood he eats is tuna sandwich (which he eats like once a year), and it has to be the way his mom makes it. So tonight his mom showed me how she makes her tuna sandwich, it's easy but I keep saying that he is so spoiled, then I know I am spoiling him too. I should just make a regular fish dish and force him to eat it, why I have to learn how to make a sandwich the way his mom makes it?? errrr....because he is so manipulative, he always gives us his puppy face...

Almost verything I write is about Jon, it's like my whole world revolves around him....it's not entirely false ( I am such a loser...); I see him about 3 or 4 times a week excluding the weekends....and he is the person who makes me happy, so I talk about him all the time, haha. If anyone is reading this, I feel sorry for you too honey, it must be a bit sickening.

If I managed to make you hate Jon successfully, you are my cat's new best friend, coz she hates Jon too. There are some hissing and scratching going on in my house. Jon used to try to please my cat...but now he has given up the sucking up, he is actaully quite scared of FuFu now, haha...so whenever he comes over, I have to seperate them. either put my cat in the bathroom or lock Jon up in my computer room. I perfer the latter, at least Jon can use the computer when he is locked up. ;p

Good Time

Today, I had some good time, and some really bad time. I dont know if anyone will care enough to read about my stupid little life, but I am writting about it anyway. ;)

Good time:

1. Driving lesson. My instructor made me laugh. He was about the same age as my father ( that's my guess, coz his son was my age). The words that he was using, you would only hear them on the black & white, 60s' Hong Kong movies. That was so funny to actaully hear those words in real life, haha. The big contrast was that his name was Eddie, which I found quite trendy and youthful. Despite the age difference, we could actaully talk a lot. Eddie was a nosy guy, he asked me lots of personal questions, and told me lots of his other students' stories. I am sure he would tell my stories to them too, but it doesn't bug me tho, coz I know he is a genuine guy, and he is a piece of work, haha

2. Din din with Jon & his mom. Jon acts extra like a kid when his mom and I are together. Jon is the youngest son, and of course, he is well spoiled. Most of the time, I feel like I have adopted a white kid with hairy arms and legs...
We had bruschetta and grilled chicken Ceasar salad, it was perfect for a hot day like today. I didn't prepare the meal, kee, Jon and his mom did. Jon bbq-ed the chicken and his mom made the bruschetta and salad. But I am not useless, I helped out with the dishes, kee.
Jon's stepdad, Tony, shares the same brithday with me, we celebrated it together last year. Tony is a sweet guy, he always helped out with the house & garden work, always calls Jon's mom sweetie or honey, it's cute that they still cuddle while watching tv.
Jon's mom, Jane, is a great cook. She had a catering business, now she is retired. Jon inherited his parents' great looks. You can tell that she was gorgerous when she was young, I mean, she is still very pretty now. Jane is a perfectionist (Jon inherited that too...which is not a good thing to me, I am such a slob), her house is beautifully decorated and of course, spotless.
I feel like I have a family here now.

Bad Time/bedtime:

I am nice to you, because I like you. I tolerate, because I have love to give. It is not fair that I am always not the one who gets to be cranky... Please try not to corrupt my spirit, it was a happy one.
I dont feel the urge to detail my horrible time of the day.

I am fine now. ;)

I hereby promise myself that I will not be lazy tmr, kee. Night.
