v_v When will it snow??

I've been waitingggggg for the snowwwww..... Please snow!!!!! Give me the fun part of the damn cold winter!!

Lucky to see 2 friends today...

Hillary visited me today! Brought me Snoqualmie ice-cream!! Expresso chips!! ^_^ Thanks so much. I cooked her some chicken fried rice and miso soup. We played wii bowling and tennis. That was so much fun. Then, I experimented my reiki on her. It worked! She dropped me off at Bellevue Square and I met Kathy!! Haven't seen her for almost 2 years. We were so busy catching up with each other. Glad that she's doing so much better now. Then, Steve came and we all had dinner at California Pizza Kitchen. I finally ordered the food that tastes better than Steve's and I didn't have to keep stealing his food. :-D I'll post the pic of the delicious food later...

FACEBOOK

My recent addiction is the facebook. Seems fun to get to contact old friends again through facebook!! However, most of my friends in HK are online at night while I am sleeping... Anyway, my friends, if you read my blog and haven't added me to your facebook, please add me!!

No crazy shopping!

No no no...we didn't go shopping on the Black Friday! First, we didn't need anything desperately. Second, we didn't like the crowds. Third, it was too chilly to get up early in the morning. Instead, we got up late. Had a big breakfast cooked by mom. Then, I played badminton with Steve for a while. Nice!! I love to move!! I don't really like to sit for too long in front of TV. I don't want to be fat again~ I hated people calling me 'fat girl' instead of my name when I was young! v_v It is nice to have moved here and learnt to cook by myself. I am what I eat. :-P

We had a happy Thanksgiving

Even though it was only four of us, we had a very happy thanksgiving. My favorite is the gravy!! Mom gave us lots of extra food to bring home. I love pouring the gravy over my Jasmine rice...delicious~ I also love the yams very much..tender and sweet with the mashmallows and brown sugar..Last but not least..Turkey is definitely a must! juicy & tasty :-) Plus, we had dutch apple pie and Expresso mocha ice-cream for dessert.. One of the best few meals in a year! hehe

Keep fit without a gym membership

Yes!! You can keep fit without going to the gym! Like me, raking leaves in the yard and trimming trees!! It was so cold this morning. After know that the cold rain and the wind will pick up in the afternoon, I decided to eat a quick brunch and had a cup of hot tea. Then, start doing yardwork. That was a very good exercise!! I felt so warm the whole time!! I don't need to weight I gained during the holidays! The worst part was picking up the cats and dogs' faeces~ Gross! We need fences...with electric wire ones!

Reiki class

I am SO glad that I will be taking reiki level 2 classes tomorrow and Sunday. It is such a wonderful thing that I think everyone should learn it to have good health. I feel so lucky that I have learnt massage, bowenwork and now reiki.

Plus, music is a great tool to lift up my mood too.

I LOVE my piano very much. Once I sit down, I can play for an hour.

And, it's time to practice to play some x'mas music. =-D

A surprising day

Today when I checked the mail as usual, I saw a lady go for a walk and walk toward the mail box too. I said hello to her. She told me her name and where she lived. I wasn't paying much attention. After I walked back home, I thought I could have talked a bit more and got to know her. Honestly, we don't know any neighbors in person. We always waved and smiled at others whenever we walked or drove by though. Later on, I was baking some cookies at home and I thought it might be a good idea to bring her some too and further introduce myself. And I did it. Her name is Holly, a mother of 2 very cute kids. Her daughter tried to grap the cookies and was smiling happily. I'm glad about what I did. hehe.

The cooking factory

After I mentioned about pho here yesterday, I craved for it afterwards. So, I made my version of pho for dinner. hehe... Steve asked me to make it at home again. Okay!!

Becoming a chef..maybe not

I tried looking for culinary art schools... but the good school is too far away. It's in Elliot Bay. I am not going to sit in my cars for 3 hours everyday... Pastry chef? Not really, I don't know why I don't like touching the sugar or flour very much except making muffins/cookies/bread. Not a SUPER fan for sweet. Oh, and I don't like eating lambs. They smell SO gross. Lamb chops look ugly to me. There are so many things I don't like to touch in the kitchen... hahaha... I don't like greasy or fatty food - I feel like killing people I am going to feed... I wanted to vomit after watching 'you are what you eat' how the hot dogs are made from super pig fat and pig nose (with hair on it still..)

Alright, I don't think I want to be a chef.

Hunting for GOOD food

These few weeks, I am SOOOOOO looking forward to the weekends. That means Steve and I can go hunt for good food. I like reading reviews of restaurants and then go there on the weekends. YEAH!! We finally tried the Pho from the Than Brothers in Redmond. SOOOOOOOO good!! I am VERY picky when it comes to the food I know very well. I believe the soup base is the soul of the Pho. After eating there, I kept thinking of having the Pho there again. My favorite is the pho with brisket and flank steak. DDDDelicious... Plus, they served yummy cream puff.

I feel so hungry now. I like eating the basil, bean sprouts and 2 pieces of jalapenos...little spicy, PERFECT.

I come back now

Ohhhhh, I've abandoned my blog for a while. BAD!!! Coz I've been HIBERNATING. I DON'T like fall very much. I absolutely DON'T like winter. The weather made me feel drowsy...I can't believe that I sleep for 12 to 13 hours a day. I am wasting my life. I am scared...the other day I read an article about shortening lifespan if sleeping for more than 9 hours a day. I don't want to die, I want to live. I need more sunlight. Looking forward to the daylight saving again! The only bright side of over-sleeping: I don't eat as much and so I lose weight. hohoho.
