给天堂的表哥

深夜，我辗转难眠。。。

今早和小妹MSN提起了三年前的那一事件。

年底，有着让我心酸心痛的日子；三年了，我们依然怀念着你，无时无刻。。。

泛黄的照片细述着我们童年的日子，生日party，旅游，历历在目。

还记得你为了刘德华而给自己取名ANDY。

记得你总是宠爱我们这些表姐妹，每次都要你当我们的司机，嚷着你去买我们都爱吃的馨香淡文饼。

记得是你载我到北海去的第一次见工面试。

更不能忘记你多么坚强地睡在ICU，我们轮流呼唤你的日子。

从没告诉别人在赶着回去你的丧礼时我在KLIA歇斯底里地哭着和姐通话。

看着你冷冰冰地躺在丧礼时我们的心都溶掉了。

至到今天每每想起你的时候眼泪都不听使唤在眼角打滚；我想不只是我，我们所有的家人都一样。

失去你，让我们更珍惜及照顾身边的人；让我们更了解我们的感情是多么的深厚。

永远怀念在天堂的你。

Merry Christmas..

Ray's Christmas Present - my handmade Bear...

I do not know what to buy for Ray's Christmas present.. so, i have sew him a teddy bear -- hand made ar! Hehe. We bought this from Brand For Less (a shop that sells German and discounted product), i actually promised him to do this for his 121209 anniversary gift but end up for the Christmas gift.
Its not difficult to sew this bear but its difficult to figure it out from the German & Swiss language instruction book. i spent about 6 hours to finish this project, and its a big bear (11 inch height!)
Ray is happy to see him sitting on the chair with a Christmas card when he got back to the room and he gave him a name, as WeeKO no. 1 (weeko 1 号） haha..
We do not celebrate the Christmas but we went for Christmas eve dinner in LENOTRE PARIS above Mark & Spencer Abu Dhabi in Khalidiya (its located in between Airport Road and Hamdan Street). I had roasted turkey... yummy yummy.. There is no public holiday in this Islamic country, even the decoration is not as nice as KL, but i am enjoying the yuletide season in this cold weather.

.. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year ..

上一个星期的冬天

上一个星期，我都在沉迷着庾澄庆，从看见他的新闻，到沉迷于他的《百万大哥星》，再不断重复着他的歌曲。他的歌真的陪我渡过好多日子，有伤心，有感叹，当然也有快乐的。《靠近》应该是让我有着深深感触的一首歌。听这首歌的感觉还是一样，只是仿佛忘了一些曾经是很重要的事情。曾经的十月有着让我觉得要庆祝的日子，渐渐地我已经忘了是那一天，而今年的我更是在两个月后的今天才猛然想起有着曾经的那一天，但我想爆了头脑也想不起是那一个日期。今天的我真正了解‘时间会冲淡一切’这句金言；还是我老了，记忆力衰退了？

从没想过冬天的阿布扎比是那么的冷。朋友都说迪拜比阿布扎比还冷，五年前我也在迪拜渡过一个冬天，但我还是觉得这里比较冻。可能我们住的较靠近海边，海风吹来真的好想让人钻进被窝里。我已经没有继续跑步了，但我还是很坚持饭后与柠檬到附近散步，拍拖。穿着厚厚的棉衣，握着柠檬的大手，这就是我要的温暖。谢谢上天的恩慈和眷顾，让我有他。我会惜福的。

冬天真的让我变得懒洋洋的。在冬天的假日里我平均每天都冬眠10小时以上，连柠檬都说我睡太多了。没办法，就是爱睡嘛。好好好喜欢这个冬天啊！听着哈林的情歌，吃着热热的拉面和绿茶，好爽！！

冬天--芭比球

冬天，差不多每天都有很多人到户外野餐和BBQ。室友和小孩到迪拜几天，我们也心血来潮地好好享受这天气和宁静。为了避免和别人争公园里的烤炉，我们打算在庭院里BBQ。
四个人的BBQ还挺OK的。

B后

p/s: 为什么题为芭比球呢？曾经看过一部港产片《表姐，你好呀！》；其中让我铭记心里的一句极度无聊的话是,芭比球BBQ的由来 : 从前有一个叫芭比的娃娃，她在玩球的时候不小心被球啶死了，为了纪念她，人家就称这为芭比球（BBQ）啦… （好啦，我知道我有时候真的很无聊啦。。。）

121208 HAPPY 1st ANNIVERSARY

My handmade card to Ray

Its our 1st anniversary celebration.
We actually plan to buy each other a present in Abu Dhabi Mall. I have get Ray a nice suit for the pre-wedding shooting next month but I did not get anything for myself, its ok, I think Ray will keep the quota for our next celebration.. LOL…
Ray brought me to a nice dinner – Trader Vics @ Rotana Beach Resort. It’s a good restaurant, we always could not get a seat during the weekend, you would have to make a reservation a few days before.
Ray is so sweet that he has pre-ordered a cake for our celebration (he knew that I would love to have a cake for any celebration), with the band singing around us; of coz we shared the nice cakes with other guests in the restaurant.
Good food, nice atmosphere --- Thanks hubby.
Listening to Harlem Yu’s《爱你的只有一个我》, dedicted to hubby… A-ba-ni-bi o-bo-e-be-a-bo-ni-be-ma-bo-sa-ba…

2．12．08 阿联酋，生日快乐！

阿联酋生日前夕，我们赴了一场‘还可以’的演唱会- George Michael and Alicia Keys Live in Abu Dhabi. 嘻嘻，本来已经放弃了，在演唱会开场的几个小时前，友人给了几张免费票。Thanks Brandon!为什么说‘还可以’呢？因为我还真的很不熟悉他们的歌。认识乔治米高，皆因那一首歌。而认识Alicia Keys是因为她曾是美国音乐盛事格莱美奖的大赢家。

整个演唱会大约进行了4个小时。前半场是Alicia Keys只是暖身，后半场的乔治米高才是真正的演唱会！大伙儿都跟着他一起唱和跳！虽然他唱的12首歌里我只听过3首，但我还是很耐心地等待我的echo曲… 当音乐响起，我真的很感动，终于听到现场版的careless whisper，是我万万没想过的。超感动。
