清史

最近因为朋友的教唆下，把《步步惊心》这个中港人演的连续集给看完了。剧情有一点婆妈，但是里面的阿哥们实在令人赏心悦目。哈哈。我最喜欢八阿哥（他的痴情令我感动），然后是十四阿哥（他实在是太帅了！！高大英勇！），然后是九阿哥（是的，我就喜欢坏坏的性格）。一点也不喜欢那个四阿哥，就是后来的雍正。讨厌他的残忍（蒸人也想得出！），讨厌他的不择手段（虽然历史只是怀疑他篡改皇旨，但是我深信不疑！讨厌！！！）

为了查明他有没有篡改皇旨，我想买清朝的历史书来看。如果这句话传到我家人耳里，第一个立刻马上晕倒的人应该是我妹妹。哈哈。没想到你姐姐越来越像妈妈？？我今天在amazon.cn里找书的时候，看到那些什么DVD清朝讲坛类的，竟然想click! haha... 我也后怕。在此申明，我买这些历史书，只想搞清楚四阿哥的皇位是怎么得来的！康熙的阿哥们，是不是都是这样如虎如狼般的"hao zhu"皇位？

很好奇呢！那天在Richmond的一家中文书店看到类似的书，可是要加币$25. 我12月经上海，加币25元可是可以在中国买到很多的书呢。想着想着就没舍得买，现在后悔着....

谁说那些连续集都是浪费时间的呢？至少它挑起某人的历史线，很神经病 right?

Oops, I did it again...

Last week already saw the VPL (Vancouver Public Library) got the notice big big outside the building, Book Sale Oct 27-30. I told myself "ignore it!"

But then, this whole week I am counting down to Oct 27th. Yesterday, I curi-curi happy a while, because tomorrow is going to be Oct 27th (which is today).

After lunch, I grabbed my bag, and crossed the street to VPL. Boss said he aint coming back to office today because he has meetings, so, I have unlimited time to spend at VPL!!! hohohohoh.... so happy...  Went there at 1.30pm... by 3.30pm, my back was very very sore.. coz I took so many books with me, and my bag, inside just got wallet only, but still got some weight, so my shoulder and back are sore from holding bag and books.... If not because of this, I would have stayed longer and bought more!

我的战利品!

I wanted to see more, but beh tahan my hands... so, I have to come back to office. $15.25 is the price for all of them. I only picked the new looking books, and I saw so many of the books I bought on kindle, they are there too, new looking, and so cheap! I regretted. But well, at least I know there are some of my taste books selling at VPL, which is not bad. hehehe..

Shoulders still sore... I need a massage. I told bui what I did... his replied was "how you gonna bring home?".... I guess I have to drive to work one of these days to bring the baby back.

But I do make mistakes. Some books I bought before, which I thought was good to read but turned out other wise, I am thinking to donate them out.... to clear some of the shelf space for my newbie... I told Bui the bookshelf we bought before is too small, he no listen. Maybe I will sell the bookshelf and get a new bigger one next time, when our new house is ready.

While I was choosing the books, because the books are getting higher and higher, and I kept having to keep moving to the side because I am blocking people, then I suddenly found I'm missing one of the book that I selected. I panicked, I make rounds and rounds of where had I been moments ago, and I thought I will never see it again, but my eyes are good, I spotted it lying in between the other books! Hahaha... happy.

I will go tomorrow again... Shh... don't tell Bui. :p

Pontianak!!

We were talking nonsense one night. And I forgot how we get to the below conversation:

Me: "I dare you, there's no malay words you know, that I don't know."
Bui: "oh yah? Let's see..."
Me waiting patiently...
Bui: "... er... hahaahaha... I know this one you sure don't know one. This is a very difficult malay word oh!"
Me very curious...
Bui: "you sure you want this test?"
Me is very impatient already.... fists were ready... hmm.. hmm... hmm...
Bui: " PONTIANAK!"
..................... what the...

Bui actually think pontianak is a very difficult malay word.... I was trying to hold my laughter, but I failed...

Hahahahahahaahahahhaa.....

And he still dare to test me! He said he don't believe I know the meaning. I told him it is "vampire".

Bui has the most defeated look on his face... he turn around and sleep with his back facing me.
=_="

But I actually am very surprised he know this word. "Pontianak" is sure a very high level malay word for my Bui... no wonder he feels I won't know this word. Hahahahhahaha. Imagine, he doesn't know those common words like tunai, najis, etc etc leh...

He very ng dai duk... he still wants to dare me.
Bui :"what do you call sunny side up egg?"
Me :"mata kerbau lah!" (I think I am right... but I know what he says next is definitely not how you call sunny side up egg loh!!!!)
Bui :"oh yah? Listen up babe. I called it "matahari telur" one time at mamak, and I was given a very ridiculous stare from that an neh neh"
At that point... I really cannot tahan liao... what the.... aiyoh!!!

My Bui.....

I squeezed toothpaste from middle

Bui said I squeezed toothpaste from middle. He asked me why. I am surprised. No one ever told me that. Not my sis and brother where we obviously shared a toothpaste when we were young and stay with parents. So I make some effort to observe myself when I squeezed the toothpaste. I definitely don't like to squeeze it from the bottom. hahahaa... I think it is because middle is so 就手. hehehe.

So, do you squeeze toothpaste from middle or from the bottom? Not from the top gua I hope:p

Elfin Lakes

Elfin Lakes!

So beautiful... no words to describe the feeling

Doesn't it look like Sounds of Music?:)

美丽的倒影

See the biker?

spiky snow leaves

Summer was officially over two weeks ago, but winter is not here yet, we are in Fall. It was rainy for the past 2 weeks. But we saw the weather forecast said the last weekend was sunny!!!! WOW!!! 机不可失, one of the couple we know said they are going to Elfin Lakes at Squamish, so we said we will join. So, 5 of us, woke up very very early on Saturday (which is very difficult for bui and I), and started the journey.

From our place to Squamish is about 1 hour drive. Then from the highway, there's a half an hour unpaved road and gravel road to drive up to the parking lot, before we start the 22km journey (11km each way), by foot. We started at 10am from the entrance at parking lot, all pumped up and energetic, even feed the bird with part of our lunch half way through. And we reached parking lot at 6pm, almost half-dead, drained, and just want to go home. Have you seen people walking with auto-pilot mode? That's me... just one mission in my mind on the return journey, "reach car park!" hahaa... We don't feel strenous going forth. But we feel extremely strenous coming back. Don't know why...  But let me tell you one thing, the strenous hike is worth it!! Look at the lakes!!!! So beautiful! We didn't expect there's snow up in the mountain, but look! Amazing view!:) And what's more amazing is, there are people biking up there!! The elevation is 1200m (we, by foot). Imagine these bikers... the roads are not smooth, there are uphills, downhills, rocky hills, and snowy hills. Very challenging on foot, what's more on bike!

I think my limit is 6 hours of hike per day. Anything more than that, it had better be a very amazing view to tempt me to go. haha...

Our friend said she wants to go for anotehr hike again this Sunday.. hmm.... let's check weather forecast:)

刻骨铭心求婚记

最近听到某某要结婚，就联想到自己的那时候，然后就很生气。因为那时候也不知道为什么，随随便便就"O"了，然后才意识到他还没有正式求婚，就在车里随便讲，“不如我们结婚吧”，这样不算求婚，但是我答应了，想想就后悔！！！

昨天很生气，就跟bui bui说，“不如我们离婚吧！”bui bui说，“为什么？”我：“这样你才有机会再跟我求婚！”然后bui bui骂我发神经。我更生气了，我说，“那我给你7天的时间，我要刻骨铭心的求婚记！”bui bui给我痛苦的表情，我就折磨他，捏他打他出气，搞到半夜1点钟，我还是很生气！！！

女士们，如果你们的男人没有刻骨铭心的求婚，不要随意答应，多年后，it will come back to haunt you.

现在bui bui还有5天。他这样不罗曼蒂克，肯定不会有什么刻骨铭心的下场！我得再想法子整他!! bleah!

"I am eating Bao at shenzhen, 20 hours ago"

越来越觉得facebook很没有privacy... 是我多心还是...?

看到很多人去某某地方，甚至是去个餐厅也post location at facebook，post picture of you in the restaurant is OK, but post the location like "xxx am at Tropika Restaurant, 20 hours ago" 就很那个，弄得很没有私隐，然后有一些人本来没有很多动作在facebook的，突然间生了baby，就天天post 她baby的照片，拜托，这个世界上，除了你的小孩，还有很多很有趣的新闻的ok?! 顶不顺。如果他是平时这样hiao的也ok,就是生了小孩后才这样发神经的，这才令人发指。

昨天去了Whistler 一趟，本来想弄个location at Whistler的，但是觉得这样很那个，然后让我想起某某某去吃个包也post location的，很欠揍，就没有兴趣post了。越来越想把facebook给弄掉，是老了吗？
