a happy life (一份美好的生活)

hi there
arrived sydney this morning,  when i was in the taxi, i was thinking: what shall i should have for breakfast, i am too tired to cook and too thirsty to have toast.  then when i was back home, i was delighted to find a pot of nicely cooked  on the stove.  i knew it was andrew who cooked this breakfast for me.  it is de li cious!  he put in 燒鴨, mushrooms, and tientsin cabbage, 津白, a funny combination but really tastes good.
then, i started unpacking and took a nap.  when i woke up, i had to sweep all the leaves on the drive way , quite hectic but a good exercise.
later, i sat at the front door, looking at the opposite houses, trees, clouds and the sky.  the air was so clean and fresh, the sun was setting and the scenery is very beautiful.  dog dog was with me, i felt really good, relaxed, peaceful and serene.  this, really is a happy life, and i thank andrew for giving me 這一份一份美好的生活
and i thank the 'gohonzon' for all these blessings.
am sharing some photos with u.
cheers

below is the chinese translation (hehe, now i know how to do the translation using google, and with my pen writer, i am able to write chinese now, hehehe , very happy!)
今天早上抵達悉尼,當我在出租車上,在想:應該什麼早餐,我太累太了,後來,當我回到家裡,我很高興地發現一盆香噴噴的燒鴨粥 在爐子上知道這是andrew 為我做的早餐, 他放了燒鴨,香菇,天津白菜,一個有趣的組合,但真的很好吃
然後,我就開始拆行李。然後睡了一會,當我醒來時,我不得不清掃driveway所有的葉子工作吃力,但是一個很好的体力努動.後來我坐在門口,望著對面的房屋,樹木,雲和天空空氣是那麼清新,太陽即將落山,景色十分優美。狗狗和我在一起感覺非常好,輕鬆,寧靜安詳。確實是一個幸福的生活,我非常感謝andrew給這一份美好的生活
而我更感謝'康座' 給我的blessing.以下和大家分享一些有趣照片!

'tangled' english 3D (魔髮奇緣3D)

 
my dear friends and family,
 
just got back from seeing this movie 'tangled'.  since yesterday i have been thinking whether i should go because there are a few things i need to handle, and maybe i could see this when i am back in sydney, because there is only one place in hongkong which shows it in english.
 
this morning, i asked myself: what actually do u want to do? and my heart tells me that i want to see this movie, therefore i decided to put everything aside and saw the 3.34 movie, alone.
 
its a GREAT movie, main characters are so  lively and pretty, and the sceneries so nice and beautiful.  i bought myself a pack of popcorn and was hugely enjoying myself.  now i am back home,  feeling very happy, content and satisfied.
 
i bought myself 1/2 catty of very fresh choy sum 菜心 for HK$5, and some BBQ pork, 叉燒, and will have a very simple meal with steamed rice.
 
sometimes we really have to ask ourselves 'what do we want' and then listen to our hearts,  very often we  tend to 'force' ourselves to do things and end up frustrated and unhappy, because we are not fulfilling the needs of our inner soul,
 
chanting 'nam myo ho renge kyo' can definitely help us attain happiness, and we can find happiness in very simple things.
 
cheers

breakfast

my dear friends and family
 
andrew and i return to hongkong for chinese new year (he has now returned to sydney to work and i am still in hongkong ).  one day, when i woke up, i found that andrew had already gone downstairs to buy 豬 腸粉 (steamed rice sheet roll) with sweet and peanut sauce, and 撻 for desert, and made me a cup of tea, then set them up nicely for my breakfast.
 
after breakfast, he said, 'now u have u something to write!' which means, he wants me to tell my friends about how nice he has been, hahahahaha
 
a candaian  friend of mine said that andrew is a 'keeper' (meaning someone you have to keep), do u agree? heheheheh
