男人要的三份礼物

我最近又读了一本张小娴的书，是 Ms Ong 借我的散文 – “男人要的三份礼物”

读完后，我觉得这编文章蛮有意思 + 有趣的，所以要与大众分享。

男人要的三份礼物 – 张小娴

送礼物给男人是一件很头痛的事，

那些什么都没有的男人，你根本不会爱上他;

什么都有的男人，你又可以送什么给他呢?

衣服，领带，皮带，手表，公事包都送过了，没有什么新意。

送一辆新车给他，不是每个女人都付得起的，除非是用他的钱。

编织一件温暖牌的毛衣给他，也是好主意，可惜现在大部分女人都不会打毛衣。

每次想到要买礼物给男人，就觉得很无助，

每一样东西对他来说，也许不过是锦上添花或者可有可无。

送礼物给女人反而容易，单是宝石和珍珠就很多种。

每当女人问男人：“今年生日你想收到什么礼物?”

也是男人头痛的时候，他实在想不到自己还欠些什么，

他所欠的，根本是女人买不起的。

最后，女人只好用一份礼物的价值来表达自己的心意，

她花了一个月的薪水送一份贵重的礼物给他，

男人虽然感动，却会认为这个女人太爱花钱，不是个贤妻良母。

原来，男人最喜欢的礼物只有三份。

一顶高帽。不时向他送上一顶又一顶的高帽，称赞他，崇拜他。

倾慕的眼神。即使他做了一件很笨的事，你还是送上这样的眼神给他。

生命的安慰。让他知道，你会与他同甘共苦，你是他心灵的安慰。

他收到这三份礼物，就会送你很多礼物。

 

我最喜欢的是最后那一句。。。。

sky birthday celebration

Hmm a little busy for the past few weeks, unable to share the pictures for the restaurants we went for Sky’s birthday.

Irodori Japanese Restaurant

We have the Ala Carte Buffet for $33++ per pax.

The service provided was great, they changed our “dirty” plates for almost every few dishes and they were rather attentive to our needs. Food wise was not too bad as well, if I did not remember wrongly, there are 108 items to choose from. The only “bad point” is that they do not have desert under the buffet.

  Fresh Sashimi & Soft Tofu

   ”teapot soup”

    

North Border Bar & Grill is the next restaurant that we went for dinner on Sky actual day. The ambience very nice & relaxing, service was good. As for food, hmm I will only give an average grade (though reviews are great for them). Well maybe is because we did not order their speciality.

    

 Sante Fe crab cakes

   Warm bittersweet Mexican chocolate torte

    Cake bought by XX & bear…

Father’s day – steamboat

We had our Father’s day celebration at home last Sunday. My dad is working as a taxi driver, so the weekend is like a golden time for him to make money. In order to be able to have a meal with him, we had decided to eat steamboat at home.

Other than celebrating Father’s day, we had an overseas guest, Tim. Tim is James’s colleague who will be stationed in Singapore for 2 months. As he has not try steamboat before 40 decided to invite him over to join us for the “experience”.

 Our food

 This is Tim – cute right

 Happy Father’s Day

I really love having steamboat at home!

happy birthday dear

Today is dear Sky’s Birthday!

Best wishes to you!

Stay happy, healthy, wealthy, handsome etc always!!

bark in the park

I am looking so “forward” to go home recently, wanted to see my little one so badly.

Ryan is given to us by 40’s friend Gary. Hmm we all know that he really can’t bear to part with him, but due to some personal reason…

There we are with dear Ryan.

How should I describe Ryan?

He is a very cute, playful, clever baby boy.

If you are angry with him, he will know what to do –

1^st look at you with his innocent pair of eyes

2^nd give you the guilty look (trust me, you won’t bear to scold him after this look)

3^rd circle around you to “beg” for your forgiveness

Last Sunday we went to a Doggy event – “Bark at the Park” with him…It is an animal fund raising event for the shelter dogs.

Ryan had a good chance to “get to know” many other dogs & had fun!

 golden & whitey

 small & big

Fish Spa

Finally, I went to QianHu to have a try on the fish spa. Been wanted to go over since Jan, but was always pushed back due to 100 & 1 reasons.

There are two types of “pools” – one is for those normal small fishes that are for fish spa. The other one is for “big” fishes.

If you ask me, how “big” are the fishes? Hmm well, estimated around 20cm (I guess).

The fish spa cost $10 per half an hour; it will be a good experience to try it at least once.

Well, I did not really feel much when I first try the small fishes pool. I am not afraid of ticklish feeling at the bottom of my feet so it was fine for me. But for the “big” fishes pool, it was scary. Haha, imagine so many fishes coming your way to “eat” the skin on your feet. However, after a couple of tries, I can finally put my feet into the water without shouting for HELP. It was quite sensational initially; you can feel the fishes “eating” the skin on your feet.

After trying both, I think it will be more worth it to go for the big fishes pool.

简单的幸福

什么是简单的幸福?

今天早上我在吃着妈妈准备的爱心早餐, 就有这种感觉

和三五个好友吃饭聊天,

于姐姐妹妹在床上看电视或聊天,

周末和科达在家打game,

无聊在床上看书,

只要是和自己喜欢的人或做自己喜欢的事情,

就是简单的幸福

Kelong Trip

Went to my 1st kelong trip with my family last weekend, it was a very enjoyable one.

The Kelong is located in I think eastern part of JB, we had charted a mini bus to fetch us from home to drive us to the jetty in Jb & took a 45min ferry ride to our destination – Hotboy Kelong.

There is nothing much to do there except for fishing & slacking around. Bear bear, XX & me are fishing practically for the whole day & the rest – 40, James, mummy, daddy & Sky playing mahjong all the way.

Relieve

I really do feel relieve at last.

After my months of slogging for my assignments & exams, I finally know what is “free”.

I am tired of burning my weekdays evening & whole of weekends for assignments.

& tired of rejecting any dates with friends or families (because of assignment again).

I am drained out………

Hmm I want to make full use of this holiday break before school starts again.

I just want to slack at home, watch TV, play sims, surf net, catch up with friends etc etc.

I want to be a slacker!!

How I wish I don’t have to work!!

Especially with those colleagues who practically wait for you to do everything.

From simple things like making a call to service a faulty copier or photocopying documents to every other things.

To make thing worse, a new Bxxx to “serve”

My existing Bxxx has not leave yet, so still have to do all his stuff & his preparation to go home.

Then the new one – is like an anxious spider.

Everything also ask, when he don’t know anything, he also don’t bother to figure out by himself.

Just open his mouth & ask me, expect me to help him to do everything.

I am just back from my leave (exam) & is trying hard to clear my backlog & there he is to “make” me more busy.

Anyone tell me what to do!!!!!
