一日三餐

早剩

剩下的半個牛油果可以放在清水裡，這樣裝著到第2天還是新鮮的

午餐

吃完，心情被療愈些了

夏日最後的玫瑰中文翻譯

這是夏日最後的玫瑰,留下獨自盛放，

她所有可愛的伴侶們早已消失了，

沒有和她同族的花，沒有和她鄰近的花蕾，

去襯托她的嫣紅，去和她一同嘆息

我不會離開你，你這孤單的一個，獨留在枝上，

由於那些可愛的已經睡著了，你也跟著她們去睡吧，

所以我輕柔的把你的葉子鋪在床上，

那裡有你花園裡的同伴，無氣味的躺著死去

當友誼腐朽時，我將很快跟隨她們，

在愛的光環裡，那些珍寶將會掉落，

當真心枯萎，所愛的飛去，

啊，誰將獨自繼續居住在這荒涼的世界裡，

獨自在這荒涼的世界裡。

一日三餐

搬屋後好不容易才可以開始用厨房，昨晚吃了第一個像樣些的晚餐，菠菜黃魚麵，樓下就是街市，所以食材還算新鮮，中午的時候很想去買公仔麵，但是還是忍住了，用回已屯好的壽桃牌上海麵，過完冷河，味道一如既往的好，一不留神，下多了水，煮出四碗來，全部給吃光了。

Moving

Finnally moved to a new place and start living single again.  I am very thankful that everything fit so well. My Church friendors helped  a lot. The last time I live alone is over 10 years ago. Time just keep on flying.  Today is really exausting getting the appliances I need. I have stood and walked for over 5 hours, compared to all day sitting as my usual state.  And I resort to not taking coffee on Sunday now as much as possible.  After dinner, I was tempted to go to a new household store in the street corner. I gave up finnally for the sake of my tired body. Instead the time was spend on further unpacking. Really need to have wisdom in how to keep a miniamalist househkold.

childhood memory - neighbour

   Observatory Road 10/04/2020

I lived in Kimberley Street of Tsim Sha Tsui as a kid.  It has become well known as Korean Street now. We have a divorced woman and her adopted son  living upstairs as friend. She had offerred help in getting my cousin sister into primary school, which was the school her son was attending. It  was quite difficult for immigrant children to find  a school as  social service was not as convinient as present. My sister, my cousin brothers and I all attend this school later. She was a generous lady but quite hot tempered. She would bring her son to a park nearby to play after school.  My cousin sister and me sometimes join and have tea snacks with them in a  cafe at the Observatory Street opposite, which was a luxurious treat to us.    Her son was an outgoing talkative boy. Sometimes too naughty and got hard spanks from his mother. He  liked to get attetion and often make up funny jokes to amuse us. They left Hong Kong and went  to England at 1983.

Memorial of my Grandmother

Grandma was born in a small village in Mainland . According to my vague memory,   her family were middle class farmers. She had a tough childhood with ill treatment by stepmother.  She had to care her younger brother and do a lot of work in the farms. She was married to my grandfather at a young age with proper matchmaking. My grandfather was living in a nearby village and was a handsome person. He studied Chinese Medicine by himself during leisure time and had collected some effective folk prescription. Unfortunately his writings were little and I had only a glimpse of it. The papers were quite worn out last time when I saw them which should date back to over 20 years ago.

After marriage, World War II broke out. My grandmother went to Macau and do some jobs. She later join my grandfather in Vietnam. She had talked about the hardship a few times. But her speech were very brief and I did not have much recollection. Under her help, my grandfather opened a herbal medicine shop in Vietnam. The shop prospered.

She gave birth to 8 kids. Another few passed away at a small age. This fact was frequently mentioned by her though as a kid I did not have much compassion for her. Of course, she got over the emotions very quickly so that in my memory those were not so bitter things. She was a quiet lady and love handiwork. I got a green woollen pullover from her when I was a kid. She was in Vietnam at that time preparing for departure to Hong Kong due to political turmoil.  It was very tightly knit as her finger grip was powerful. It lasted many years.

She passed away due to heart attack in Australia while preparing meal for my Aunties. I am thankful that I have a gentle, quiet, hardworking and optismistic grandmother.

cutting skill

I done my favourite dish shredded potato again yesterday. I got a shredding plate fron Taobao and use it for making potato shred in lighting speed , about 2 min and one potato would be fully shred. Few weeks ago I went to a restauramt in Humphrey's Road at Tsim Sha Tsui and ordered the dish,   I must admit the taste is way much better that my own production. The shred is slightly thicker and the crunch is crispier. I resort to cutting the potato using knife this time. It takes less than 10 minutes actually. And the taste is nearer to the restaurant. Thankfully the cutting plate is now stored in a less convinient place so I would not reach it as easily as before. So the total time spend is equivalent either using knife or the shredding plate. I guess this is a way to push me to improve my cutting skill.
