It has been long time since I last made pancakes. Remember Mom used to make pancakes for me when I was a little girl maybe even when I was in undergraduate school. Every summer and winter break, when I came home from school, mom would cook all my favorite foods for me. One of them is the Chinese style pancakes: eggs+chopped green onion+water+powder+salt+pepper. She has passed away for over 14 years. I have never had pancakes as good as hers since.

Now I work as scientist, can afford to try any cuisine. But what I miss most are the chinese traditional food. like pickled bok choy+sweet potato noodles+pork ribs, cucumber with green bean noodles, pig ears... Still remember when I was really young, I got so excited every time mom spent 2 cents to buy me an ice cream. or 20 cents to buy a big bread.

Every Monday going back to work, the typical greeting at work would be: hey how was your weekend? what did you do? I would say, quiet. Now think about it. Quiet means taking your time to do what you want with whoever you want, do what you are comfortable with. Think about it from another angle. It actually gives me the secure feeling, you know what your life will be after today. so no worries, feeling peaceful inside.

Need to get going. Did long jog yesterday. will play tennis today.

Have a good one :)

This is the third time I went to theater to watch a movie in the last 4 months. The theater was packed. Unbelieveable!!! must be the first night Iron Man out. I felt I was so out of place since I was surrounded by teens.

Before heading to the theater, we went to my favorite sandwich place---hmmm forgot the name. xxx BBQ...:(. It is a fantastic place full of BBQed pork and smoked chicken, rib, ham...  . Spending 6 bucks, your stomach is full of meat... yummy. a great Friday night.

How much I wish that I could find a good tennis partner to play some good tennis tomorrow. or do a long jog in the park.

oh man how tired, reading double lines. I would like to say good night to my computer.

sweet dreams. tomorrow is another great day, hopefully sunshine 

We hear people say "work hard, play hard. enjoy when you can " all the time. I smiled every time I heard it. But when one of my best friends became veggie after one month Chemo from a very early stage cancer candidate leaving his wife with a 4 year-old daughter behind. I felt very sad and deep inside of me says that we should cherish more what we have. We should really enjoy life when we can. It does not have to be material way. It could be spiritual way as well such as show more affection to people who care you, love you and who you care and love.

In the last a couple of months, I've been reading his blog, I felt heart broken while reading it. I could feel the pain he has been through between the lines. One thing he mentioned about US health care system I could not agree with any more. He said if the nurses and doctors were a little bit more responsible, he would be much better off. I said to myself: tell me about it.

I am not trying to bore you guys. Just have not been feeling up. hoping you guys are doing better.
