Chinese New Year 09… Ox Year a good year?

1.5 days from now it’s Chinese New Year already.  It’s with mixed emotions when writing this.
On one hand I am happy that the year is going to end soon and am looking forward to the new year because I’ve not had a very good Rat year.  On another hand, this CNY will not be the [...]

China Trip Was Cancelled!

My mom and sis went to the tour agency today wanting to settle the payment and visa for our family trip to China early Feb.  To our surprise we were told that the trip has actually been cancelled!  Reason they gave was there were 6 members dropped out so they couldn’t afford to organize a [...]

想念您,婆婆

婆婆您知道我们今天来看您吗?您在六尺之下有听见我们对您说的话吗?您在那里有和公公相见吗?您在那儿住得还习惯吧?
 
您离开我们至今已经五天了,今天从墓园回到您空空荡荡的家里听不见您的说话和笑声,非常地不习惯。 望着厨房里的炊具,仿佛还看见昔日的您忙着准备各种美味的佳肴待我们来品尝。家里的一切依旧,可是您已不在了。过去几天大家都忙着办理您的身后事,我们都希望藉着忙碌能暂时忘却失去您的伤心。现在葬礼总算告一段落了,对您的思念却越来越多,整颗心就好像被一万只虫咬着般痛苦。现在我们做什么都不能把您带回来了,一想到这儿我的心就好痛。

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
犹记得小时候,您和公公常带着我和妹妹到处去旅行游玩。有什么好吃的好玩的您都会设法买回来让我们享用。妈妈因工作的关系,我们除了上学,其余的时间都是在您处过的。您会煮我们爱吃的菜肴,买我们喜欢吃的零嘴,让我们玩一整天的泥沙和到处跑动也不责骂我们。虽然您常大声呼叫着我们,催促我们回家冲凉吃饭,可是我们都知道您是非常宠我们这班瓜儿的。对您来说,孙儿们开心,您就开心了。

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
现已是凌晨两点了。虽然明天得上班了,我却一点都没睡意。一闭上眼就不由自主地想起您生前的种种,以及非常后悔和痛恨自己没能在您最后的日子陪伴您多一些。婆婆您知道吗?今天爸爸在您的墓前第一次流下了眼泪。他哽咽地诉说着您有多伟大,为了不让我们担心而隐瞒自己身体的不适。我到现在才知道爸爸他是多么地自责,怪自己没能及时看出您的不妥而为您做更全面的检查。他将所有的责任都扛在自己身上,他认为都是因为他的疏忽而令弟妹们失去了母亲。婆婆我想您是知道的,爸爸他比任何人都伤心和痛苦,可是我要怎么做才能解开他的心结呢?婆婆,您告诉我好吗?
 
婆婆,我真得很想念很想念您。好想再听到您叫我的名字,就算只是一次也好。但我知道,纵有万般不舍,我们还是得让您走。生老病死,又有谁能躲得过呢?今生我们婆孙俩的缘分也得到此为止,我真的很希望下一世能再做您的孙子。这世上再也没有比您更好的婆婆了。婆婆,您安息吧。盼今晚您能入梦来听我倾诉我对您的思念。一路走好啊,我亲爱的婆婆!

Rosemary Lamb Chop

Forgot to post about this.  Made my first attempt to cook lamb chop on the Christmas day.  It is a recipe I got from the Cooking For Engineers recipe site.  Overall taste was fine, except that the gravy was too watery.. Maybe I put too much pineapple and orange juice in it. :p
