First Day of Year 4

Very first to start off with was being late for first class this morning, despite of leaving extra early for unexpected traffic jams. Yes, indeed, there was an accident along the highway, which in turn lengthened our 30min trip to 1hr 20min. Hai~ It was rare that we get late, n it just happened on day 1. Ooops. Not a good impression at all. But nevertheless, it was pleasant to see all my classmates again. It reminds me that i actually belong to this group. Just a few words, n followed by endless exchanges of holiday experience, which was anxiously shared. Ha.. It seems that everyone knew it was our last long holiday ever, n no one was missed out on fun n relaxation. Ha.. But now all gears on for the awaiting final year!

回來 Melbourne

假期的結束也就是新學年的開始。大年初六，我又依依不捨離開香港。雖然每年如是，但始終與家人離別的那一刻還是難受啊。九個小時的飛機，說短不短，說長也不長。看看書，眠一眠，暈一機浪，再嘔一下，就到 Melbourne 了。回到來這城市，有一種似曾相識，卻又格格不入的感覺。回到家，房間裏是自己的東西，但又好像不大習慣這個環境。走在街上，看到身邊都是鬼佬，突然會有討厭的感覺。好奇怪，不過都是過渡期，大家都是這樣。好彩的是一回來見到朋友，大家一起嘻嘻哈哈，很快就習慣了。

** 這次搭飛機有一奇事：一個大陸佬竟然在洗手間抽煙啊！簡直不可相信~ 嚇死人。

大年初一

踏入大年初一的那一刻煙花燦爛，在周圍360度包圍我們，好靚... 今個新年雖然很短，很快就要回 Melbourne 了，不過很難忘... 不懂下一年我還有機會與家人一起過節嗎...

一家人過年

快過年了~ 家裏除了加點新年的佈置，就是要做些過年的食物。昨晚，我，媽咪和哥哥就一起做了一個蘿蔔糕。前幾天，我曾經自己一個人做了一次，花時四小時（因爲蒸也要蒸一個半鐘）。不過，昨晚我們合力只用了45 分鐘的時間就準備好材料，三兩下就把蘿蔔糕做好~ 一家人一起做，又開心，又有效率~ 哈。

今年我們一家終于一起過節... 哥哥已經十年沒有在中國過年... 今早 Daddy 也出差回來... 一切準備好，佈置好，食物做好，人也齊了。明天要過年了~！

澳門祭祖

每年我們都一家大小到澳門拜祖先。此活動一年一次，給大夥兒一個機會聚在一起，也同時紀念一下祖先。我年年都借此機會跟百忙偷閑的Daddy Mummy 多相處和與在香港讀書的表弟妹多交談。拜山對有些人來説可能是一件無聊的事，覺得對死去的人的一塊石頭拜沒什麽意思。不過，我從小就知道拜祖是在於在生的人，是祖先讓我們在再忙碌的生活裏都要記住自己的根源與身邊的家人。這家庭活動雖然年年如是，不過絕對不是無聊。

VRG Annual Dinner

Today is the designated day for the annual dinner. The very first thing we did was to pray-hard for a rain-less day. Ha.. Anyway, in the morning I went to 深圳 Airport with Mummy to pick up 哥哥, who comes back in time for the event. This was his first attendance, and our first time to have the whole family here. At around 430pm, we had the extra-early special dinner at the canteen, n then proceeded to the showground. Perhaps some arrangements turn out a bit of a mess, the logistics was not done too well. 哥哥 n I ended up helping to distribute the gift bags and the tables n chairs, however, I suddenly had a rush of feeling being back to TMSSC, n it was good. Nevertheless, the show went on. Everyone enjoyed the performances, appreciated the reward presentations, and of course, loved the lucky-draw times Yes, despite some mess, some angry cries on the unwise arrangements, it was more important that everyone was happy. Perhaps those rooms of improvement should be left for next year.

BOOK Plaza at 深圳

Early in the morning, Emama n I set off for our “big day-out” to the BOOK Plaza at深圳. Ha.. It was definitely a heaven for bookworms like us. After a light breakfast at the train station, we traveled about 2.5hour before reaching our destination. However, the journey was almost enjoyable. I was impressed to see the clean, well-designed, highly-technology equipped Metro in 深圳. *Give them a thumb-up* Anyway, back to talking about the BOOK Plaza, it was an enormous shopping centre. Well, the well-light up with some soothing music make the environment very comfortable for reading. It was not like the old Book City where we were constantly pushed aside by other shoppers, n of course, we needed to worry for theft, kidnap, n worse things. We spent the whole day there, at the book section, n eventually left the place with satisfaction, a brain-full of newly earned knowledge, n a few purchased books. The experience I had today allowed me to open my mind in the development of 深圳.

Meeting Friends

After so much crazy shopping in Hong Kong, my luggage is probably going to be overloaded once again this time. And, every time I try to re-think what I m bringing back, the eventual answer is always “nothing much”. Ha… It is weird, but it just happens every trip back home. Haha.. Anyway, Mum has to return to work early this morning, n I m left with a day to meet my friends, finally. I have been having a awful thought of annoying my friends as I just been out of touch since the beginning of holiday. Oops. Today, I met up with Carol n Ivy at 尖沙嘴 for lunch, where we spent hours in the café exchanging holiday experiences, gossiping like any other girls. Haha.. At the end of the gathering, the two friends walked me to the train station, making sure I get to my next destination. Having thoughtful friends around becomes extra handy when I m so unfamiliar with places in Hong Kong. Next, I met Grace at 沙田 after her work. This time we had a brief dinner, and then proceeded on to shopping. This was in fact our first time shopping together! In the past, we hardly had such leisure time as university students. But yes, Grace, always humorous~ We laughed-out-loud so much tonight~ Haha..

Hong Kong - Shopping.. Eating...

I might as well sound like 自由行, visiting Hong Kong during weekend to spend money here, n in turn, push farther the Hong Kong economics. Coming back to Hong Kong last friday, I have been doing my purposeful shopping before all shops closed for Chinese New Year. Again, it is Chinese New Year approaching, so as my destinated date for returning Melbourne. Time to prepare my goods, n stuff up my luggage once again. Indeed, have been buying things which were initially off my list. Oh well~~

Aside from stuffing up my luggage, i m also stuffing up myself too. I thought my tummy is going to burst after every meal. Eating out often, snacking frequently n trying out fooood.. OMG~ Before my tummy bursting, i think my pants will go first. Ooops.

花語

五月二十八日
生日花：鸢尾花（Garden Iris）
花语：忠告（Advice）
这种花的代表人物是法兰克王国里，历代国王身边的谏臣－圣杰尔马斯。因此它的花语是－忠告。受到这种花祝福而生的人天生具有冷静的思考能力，是朋友信赖商量讨论的好对象。但是对於自己的事情反而较没有主见，一但涉及感情，那简直是盲目而毫无头绪忽冷忽热，彷佛是在玩一场恋爱游戏。

花語？是什麽我也不大知道，不過，你覺得準嗎？

煮飯婆

最近我的職責是做一個全職煮飯婆。煮的不是 daddy 最怕的怪怪食物，而是 mummy orders 的日常午餐與晚餐。雖然，我只是煎煎炒炒一些簡單菜色，不過看到爸媽吃得開心，我也得意。說不算是 "入得廚房，出得廳堂"，但也許 pass 了做 "師奶" 的第一級吧~
