Dinner with friends

Weekend is here! Yaye~ 

My friend celebrated our birthdays with us, the Scorpios 2 weeks ago. She took us to a 'mysterious' cafe for dinner. Why did i say mysterious? Because we had to drive through a narrow road and dark bush before we were greeted by this bright lit cafe. Kinda reminds me of  a Palace in the middle of nowhere~ 

It's a cafe where customers can officially bring their pets to have dinners with them. I heard from the owner that some people do bring very interesting pets with them, like snakes and tortoises.  Hmmm.. they are not my kind of pets in mind :P

While i was happily exploring the interesting cafe, my two friends decided to connect virtually with someone elses~ Hmmm.. what did i just said about being controlled by gadgets?

The green lighting they use at the cafe makes 

the picture a bit spooky. I like!

Look, they are still playing with phones! 

just look at their poses~ 

你被控制了嗎？

最近看很多朋友們在FB上po 的低頭族的卡通〜嗯，只能說，時代不一樣了〜

現在每人手上一架多功能的手機，相機，iPad，電腦等。吃飯前大家不再是祈禱感恩而是拿起手機和相機拍下美食~吃飯時，大家不再交談而是看著銀幕跟其他人交談或“放空”（看FB，看電影等）〜食~吃飯時，大家不再交談而是看著銀幕跟其他人交談或“放空”（看FB，看電影等）〜

當然，科技的進步也帶來了很多方便〜我记得以前要出国都得找旅行社帮忙安排。电话打来打去的超多流程的。然后还得约时间到旅行社付钱。但现在，自己就像精通全世界的达人，机票住宿旅遊行程在自家就可以搞定！就连購物也能不需出外或出国就能买到想要的了！但也因为太方便，我常常‘不小心’买太多 T_____T

雖然科技帶來了很多方便但不懂得善用的人就會被科技控制〜我記得我有位前同事，我們明明就坐在她的四周但她卻用email來跟我們說事情。有時明明就在旁邊但卻沒聊天反而在聊天群講的沒完沒了〜不得不說，現在的人越來越不懂如何“人性”化的交流了〜不但大人受到科技的控制，就連小孩子也是一樣〜吃飯，去上學路途，就連洗澡都還在看電腦手機。我在想，他們長大後的童年回憶會是什麼呢？

那天我們在我二姐的家為小侄女慶生，切了蛋糕後小侄子和小侄女突然不見人影，後來才發現他們拿著蛋糕盒子變裝去了~哈哈〜很開心看見我姐姐還是堅持'古老'的教育〜

蒙面超人~

头套角色演变？呵呵

這才像小孩子嘛〜童年的創意，千金難買〜

11.11.2014

Today is a very special day! 

Not only is it a day many loving couples get married (due to its auspicious resemblance as 1111 means you are my forever one) , there is also a HUGE online sale (which i also participated @_@). Today is also a special day in China for the Singles called 光棍节, which means The Singles Day.. I don't know why there is such an event. May be it is to create something to celebrate hehe... Most importantly, it's the birthday of the adorable twins, Jane and Jennifer! hehe... Hooray!

This year is a bit more special because i found my long lost childhood friend at a bazaar whom we lost contact since high school. Guess what? We were born on the same day, same month and in the same year! And what's more special, she has an identical twin sister too! 

We weren't close to her sister because they were separated since birth.  10 years ago, i saw someone who looked exactly like her at a dinner event. I was so excited and ran to her, patted her back real hard because that was how we greeted each other when small. She turned around and looked a bit angry, shocked and puzzled... I felt a bit awkward and thought that she probably had forgotten who I'm since i might have looked different. It turned out that she wasn't my long lost childhood friend but the other twin sister which i had never met before! It was embarrassing! So I know totally understand how u guys feel when u mistook me/Jane for Jane/me! 

Celebrations started way before today... Today, I am flooded with birthday greetings and wishes from all over the world. They really brighten up my day. Thank you so much! I feel so blessed to have all of you in my life! I even received my name stickers today! What a day!

Just a few pictures to share~ 

My mum made me a hearty breakfast. It's so huge that I could eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner! haha...~ 

 Don't eat your monitor! haha

Happy birthday to Jane, my dearest sister and myself!  We fight but we still love each other :P Because of u, it makes 1111 more meaningful!

我的心聲

A lot of people admire my height~ Being tall is good because we get to 'look down' on a lot of people :P BUT (love and hate this word), there are a lot of downsides too... 

Just to give you some examples:

1) My smaller sized friends always receive help (like loading/unloading luggage for them) from strangers. Being tall, people assume that I am capable of doing everything myself. Although it's true but sometimes I would love to relax and watch others doing the things for me too :P What's worse, i sometimes have to be the one to help the smaller people T____T

2) Pretty dresses, skirts, pants and shirts i see online or in shops here are always too small or too short for me. The clothes here are made for Asians (although am one but not for BIG Asian like me T___T), the knee length dress for a 'Normal' Asian becomes my blouse and i can never find long pants and skirt that are long enough to cover my whole legs @__@ Once, i got Jane to buy a flare skirt for me on Taobao. Guess what? In Europe, I'm a size S but in China, i am a size XXXL! T______T

3) Smaller people always look younger than their real age while I'm the opposite, simply because I'm big and don't look 'cute' :( 

4) Being on a long flight is a torture to me (i feel sorry that i can only afford economy class) because there is not enough room to put my spidery long legs T______T

5) I have to 'bow' to smaller sized people a lot of times, just so that i can hear what they are saying. Hmmm.. I think they are not being polite because if i stand up to talk to them, they should stand up too. Ooopps, i forgot that they are already standing up.. hehe, ok, this is quite bad, am just kidding~ I love bowing to smaller sized people~  

Last but not least, I get recognised or remembered easily because of my unique height. I am not unhappy about it since I don't do bad things anyway, but I really don't like the recognition because i don't like spot lights :P

Came across a cartoon by a Taiwanese cartoonist ("I am Mark").... Totally agree!
