The First weekend Blog

Its the 3rd time I'm writing this as the laptop kept 'hanging up' on me before I finish... Ha, but as I said, this is not going to dampen my excitement as finally we figured out how to best view the blog site, thanks to Alvin and Robina who enlightened us that blogspot is actually being blocked in China... Anyway, friends in China, if you are already reading this, you already know how to go around this... Pleasant reading... =)

The last weekend was the first in record. It was fulfilling, with Sat. being the sports/recreational day and Sun. being the relax/rejuvenating one. I went bowling in the Sat. morning (which is becoming more regular). To think that I used to play so regularly (15 yrs ago), I played terribly... but hopefully with more practices, I can find back the 'touch'... ;)
Tay and Wei Kiat are good. Kiew is my 'pacer'. For a lady, Sharon is good too. And Gillian is occasionally showing her true standards... Especially last Sat. She was once leading in a game, beating all the guys! Don't 'play prey' leh....
In the afternoon, we went playing tennis with Pat and Winnie at their Parkview apartment. This was the second session my Mrs had in her life... Can see from her uncontainable pleasing eyes that she really enjoyed the workout. Come to think of it, we have been wanting to start some sports game together but has always been halting on the planning process. Hmm, hope this signals a good start for some partnership workout...

Very happy to see that my Mrs was happy.

Sun. lunch was a little warm moment for the 3 of us. We had nice Cantonese cuisine at 皇厨. Mrs has always enjoyed dim sum and Miss's favourite was none other than Char-siew pao, of course. Mrs was for a while distracted and amused by a waiter who had his eyes glued to the projector screen while serving his customers... We resorted to giving him the benefit of doubt that he may not have a TV for his entire life. Who knows, there are still people who suffer in that kind of poverty now in China...

We had this regular foot reflexology session @ Tai-pan and yesterday we overslept and was almost 1 hr late for our appt... Tai-pan is a massage parlour that also serves some simple cuisine to their customers when they come for the massage. Mrs originally was hesitant abt having somebody managing her feet as she 'was' very ticklish, but after one comfortable session with this No 811 masseuer, she is addicted to it since March. I also have a regular masseuer No 802, surname孙.

Talk abt Miss, she is undeniably a STAR @Taipan. She attracted overwhelming attention whenever she's there and yesterday the manager even called her the 大班招牌！But Miss will always patiently and understandingly wait for us to complete our enjoyment without fail. Recently, she is addicted to this 'Monster Inc' animated movie, in which there is a little girl named 'Boo' who resembles her (or the other way round?). She will watch the whole movie over and over again and in Tai-pan too. She is so sweet and adorable that most often it is 'pain-staking' to turn down her request. whatever it may be... and she knows it.
