Mo Mo and Mommy

When Mo saw something small and something big close together, she called them "Mo Mo Something" and "Mommy Something".
In her world, "Baby" equals to "Mo Mo".

"Baby Elephant and Mommy Elephant" is translated as "Elephant Mo Mo and Her Mommy".

The little thing she says always makes me so happy.

Here comes T-Bone. Here goes T-Bone.

I like Dogs, but I never had the urge to actually have one.
Jeff made up the whole story so I would take T-Bone back.
I couldn't help but wonder if he lied too much he didn't even noticed he was making things up.
This time, his friend was leaving and nobody could take care of his little puppy.

The poor little guy was all ready as a little girl's first dog and he might be sentenced to his death if we weren't taking him.

Mo was super excited about the idea that a doggy is coming to live with us.

What else could I say?

Therefore, T-Bone arrived at the Saturday night.

He turned out to be a wild dog Jeff's friend caught in the mountain and he was definitely not a puppy.

But T-Bone was calm, relaxed and polite.

I only heard him barking once because I stepped on his foot.

Mo held his leash to show him around and checked on him almost every minute.

The next morning she jumped up from the bed and the first thing she said was "Is my doggy awake yet? Can I play with him now?".

T-Bone ran away when Jeff was going to put his new collar on.

The idiot just removed the old one then let go and lost the sight of T-Bone when he was getting his scooter.

I did everything I could in following days and people kept calling me to tell me where T-Bone might be.

I realized Jeff wasn't even trying to find T-Bone after all these and his excuse was "T-Bone was a wild dog and this was his choice.".

Why did you guys catch him from his mountain in the first place then?

Mo is too young to feel sad, but she is still asking about T-Bone sometimes.

I hope he is fine now and I could see him someday in the neighborhood.

Happy Mother's Day

Dear Mommy:

I have never heard of Longchamp bags.
But I saw everybody carrying one on the street.
It's must be some good staff.
What kind of bag could attract women across countries, ages, professions and styles?
I hope you like it.

Love You
Mo

The Last Day

For some reason, I was really down before I left England.

I was desperate to see Mo of course.

However, I think a part of me didn't want to leave.

One Year. It's just enough time to fall in love with a place.
For the last day I staying in the UK, I visited Westminster Abbey and British Museum again-classic visitor attractions-to complete my first trip to London.

I am glad that I had saved the day for this 1000-year-old church, the witness of British history.

As taking photos were prohibited inside the church, I tried to memorized every tombs and monuments with all my feelings.

After saying goodbye to Kings, Queens, Gargoyles, Big Ben, London Eye, House of Parliament... I spent the evening in British Museum.

I walked on the paths full of Egyptian mummies and artifacts I missed last time with my tears dropping until the museum was closed.

What the funny thing was every time I went to the museum, my camera died.

Again those famous Egyptian sculptures could just stay in my memory.

Later than a fidgety night and an 30 hours restless journey, there Mo was, smaller and softer than I imagined.

I felt happy at last.

Earth Day

Climate Change Exhibition in Natural History Museum UK

Have anyone noticed that there is something wrong with the whole planet?
Global Warming, Earthquakes, Volcano Eruptions...

We only live here for a very short period of time, but we are consuming much more natural resource than we really need.

If the world is coming to its end in our time, I guess all these fashion, 3C products, money, relationship, cancer... are not important anymore.

Turning off the light, switching off the computer, putting reusable materials into the recycle bins, reducing the waste you might create... these are the things everyone can do everyday without extra effort or time.

I want Mo grow up happy and healthy seeing everything.

And one day, she might have babies just like I do.

I hope these recent events could wake the human beings.

Well... It's hard to make selfish people care though...

I am 29!!!

Last Day of 28


Hot Pot for Lunch

Free Coffee

We love 熱炒!!!

My Birthday Cake

Mo's Chocolate Beard

I never understood why don't old people like birthdays with all the cakes, presents and parties until now.

I just realize how fast time flies by looking at Mo from nothing to this little girl, going to school soon.

I used to make special plan for my birthday every year.

Now I am too lazy to buy myself something or go somewhere to celebrate.

I was really happy and surprised that Meryem asked me when my birthday is on my birthday last year.

I had a good meal in La Tasca with my classmates and a pair of very cute earrings.

Well... Like it or not, I am 29 today and I am 29 only once.

I hope it's a good year.

The Potty Training

Waiting...

Coming...

Pooping...

Good Job!

Mo knows about using toilet for a while as she goes to toilet with me every single time but I never really pushed her to do it.

I just kept telling her that it's a good way to take care of the business and there is the personal pretty toilet for her to use.

When it's her turn, she always sat there for like an hour with nothing coming out.

I had to give up and put her pants back on in the end.

This time, I got the perfect timing.

Once the ice was broke, Mo graduated from the training program immediately and said goodbye to diapers-her good friend for two years... with only a few accidents.

Good Job!
