Uploading problem

I have been trying to upload images to this blog for the past week but without success. Wonder if it's my laptop problem or the website. Should the problem persist, I may have to abandon this blog. Will keep all of you posted.

A day with my brothers

What a day! A thanksgiving session praying to my parents for their blessings in 2013 or rather in the Year of the Snake. Besides me and Margaret, we invited Patrick and wife along. We also bought incense paper on our children's behalf to offer to their paternal grandparents. Yes, I am sure my parents were happy receiving them. Btw, our children has returned us the money.

After the praying session, we went down to fetch Roger for lunch at Queenstown. I jokingly told him that lunch was on him today and he took it seriously. He started to count the money in his wallet and looked very worried. Not to stress him further, I told him that the meal was on me. He sighed a relief and enjoyed his meal wholeheartedly. Guess I would not joke with him in future.

Me and Margaret visited Thomas in the evening bringing with us 2 packets of fish maw which my sister-in-law ordered. It's not easy to understand or catch what my eldest brother was saying as his speech was not clear and soft. Sad to say, he is suffering from  Alzheimer's disease. Whatever, he is always happy to see us visiting him.  

Back to work

The party is over. All of us are back to work. Saturday as usual will be a full day for me. If only I can finish my work before 6pm tomorrow, I would bring Margaret to our long awaited claypot frog porridge dinner. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Time for spring cleaning and preparing goodies for the coming Lunar New Year. No matter what, a clean and tidy home brings good luck to the occupants. I understand that my Chinese Zodiac is alright in the Year of the Horse 2014. All I need is to maintain my good health and many good things will come naturally. I sincerely hope so.

Awesome 2014?

Cheers to a New Year! A new beginning with new hopes... Year 2013 had been kind and good to me and my family. We move into 2014 with lots of confidence that it would be another good year ahead. Like what Fyn wrote, ' 2014! Well, I already know you're gonna be awesome!'

I expect my children to be more stable and successful in their career. As for me and my wife, we pray for good health so as to cope with our demanding jobs. Will there be a family outing overseas this year? I do not know. Most probably me and Margaret will go for a trip nearby and another LA/LV. We need to clear our annual leave or it will be forfeited. We may change our destination depending on when we take our leave.

For we do not live a sophisticated life, 2014 Horse Year should be smooth and easy for us. Yeah, no big dreams. Three simple meals, smile often, laugh a lot and we consider ourselves blessed. Money will look for you when you are at your happiest moment. Good luck.
