Thinking vs Missing

Wow! Another year has gone by...
Last post was exactly around this time of month too...
What a coincidence 📅 😊

How time flies...
Oh my, glad I'm still able to log on here!
This blog still active 🔌 😁

Arg....! Just when I eventually spending time here..
Thought my fingers would be dancing over the keyboard
Writing million words ...📝

But ..
Either my brain got stuck or my fingers are numb...
Probably both at this hour...😵

Tired...😴

I think I still can smell the lavender!
It's in my head!!!
Why? Hahaha ...🌿💭

It's because ...
I've been busy doing a little craft ...
Hopefully the person receiving it will like it as I do ...💟🙆

A break for now....
To myself?
Are you still following this blog? ❓❔😅

Merci beaucoup, TQVM 👌👍

Un moment si peux-je

Wow, time flies...

How long have I not have the time sitting reading a book?

Too long that I couldn't tell...

How long have I not writing anything on here?

Long enough...

Till I almost forgot I've got a blog...

A moment...

Yeah, I need a moment for myself...

Too occupied, too tied up...

Losing myself..

Miserable...

Style

A good way to recycle those old shoes huh?

Giving you a 'Like'!

Ha...

Piano

When I was small, I longed to have a piano. 

But of course, during that period of time, it was unaffordable.

It was something way too luxury by then.

 

I remembered me visited to a friend's house, saw a piano sitting upright in the living room.

I went to open the lid and ran my fingers over the keyboards....

'Wrong! You placed your fingers wrongly on the keyboard!'

 

That was the immediate response from that friend of mine.

Hahahahahahahahaha ;)))))

Oh well, we were just a kid...once...

Guess I'm not that eager to learning it...

I probably just enjoy listening to the sound, the melody...

Yeah, music, who doesn't love music? I wonder....

The Puzzle

 

A puzzle that I received as a gift.

It's been....

11years....

ELEVEN years!!!

I wonder how have you been lately...

This Is It!

 

Finally!

If you've noticed my previous blog ( en Juin, 2012),

you could compare the 'before' & 'after' ;)

A petit projet that took me three months to complete (x.0)"...

So what's next?

Gift wrapping ...!!

Yeay, gotta go shop for some pretty materials ^^

The room will be less messy (for now)...

Hohoho~~~

Nobody's Fault?

Finally, little piano has her company under a new home!

Something's missing in the piano but nobody admitted their careless mistake.

So, I guess it is actually MY fault for not placing it in a display box......@@?....... @@!

Now, they should be SAFE!

Some people has the courage to do something bad,

but don't have the guts to admit it.

Some people is too chicken-hearted to commit bad things,

but they are brave enough to admit one when they did.

Not accusing anything here...

Just a sudden thought in head.

People is 'interesting' in many way...

That's what makes our life 'colorful'....in a way....

 C'est la saison pour les lavandes!

What's Up June?

What's up June?

Working on this little project..

Which I wonder how long it's taking me...

A month or even more...

HaHaHa!

The Coffee Powder

It's Labor Day. It's holiday!

But not for this Coffee Specialist Shop.

I've spent a little time at this place.

Visiting around - how to produce coffee powder!

The uncle was very informative.

Thanks to him that I could now have a real understanding.

About...

All the hard works behind a little cup of nice aromatic coffee!

Learn to enjoy every sip of it.

~~~(^^)~~~

Bonne Année!

Have you had your coffee for the day?
Me, pas encore.

Bought a CD before leaving this country.
A good souvenir I assume.

Well....
Today, the first day of year 2012!

Happy New Year!
May this year brings us more joy & laughter.

Tea Time

Every sip I took, refreshes me about some people...
I remember a friend of mine who is living in London now.
I remember how she love lavender.
I remember how bad she wanna go visit to Provence en France.
And, she made her dream came true.
Avec son mari.

I remember ma belle professeur.
Another lavender lover.
I remember a little story she told us.
Naughty tricks yet si mignon.
L'occitane...real lavande @ the display?
MDR XDXDXD...

I recalled EW's response.
'Which L'occitane you went to when you practice the trick?'
'So that I won't go to the same store!'
Cause the sales probably gonna say...
"Non non non, don't think about it! Someone tried that before!'
The chats were so amusing!

Some people...
You don't need to spend lots of time to be with them...
But they will leave you an impression,
That takes long enough time to fade in memory...
Or maybe it stays there forever.
You will think of them, every once in a while.

This is one of the reason I love...
And, enjoy my tea time.
I need to remind myself,
That I met these nice people.
So my friends,
Coffee, tea ou.....?

It is relaxing...

E-Code

Landlord came & fixed the security door!
Apparently, somebody complained about it.
Well, 'it' kinda put us into a difficult situation last month!
It was cold, almost midnight...
Dragging a tired body but felt so glad that home just a few steps away...

But, wait...
Did somebody changed the entrance code?
We kept trying the given code but it just didn't work!
Uh oh, who to call for help in the middle of the night?!
My goodness...

A couple living upstairs passed by & walked up the stairs!
(We thought they were the kids we saw chatting outside the main gate...)
"Excuse me" "Excuse me" ..we tried to get their help but they didn't hear us!
Or they didn't even aware we were actually calling them???
Oh My....

We turned around & thank God!
That two kids we saw, still at the main gate there!!
(That couple who just 'ignored' us, were some other person...)
The nice gal came & helped us, keying the same code for once or twice...
Still, failed...

Then she entered the code again with an asterisk.
And...it worked!
Our angel!
Finally, really home sweet home!
But, the door gone haywire since then.

Sometimes, it behaves good & v.v.
We opened the door few times for neighbors,
whenever we heard few code error alert in a row.
Thanks to those tenants who complained.
And now it's sane again!

After this incident...
I somehow have another view in mind...
Bringing keys is less troublesome than unable to enter the house!
Everything has two sides!
The positive and negative.

Something's Missing

Une table pour deux...
I think of my close friends when I saw this painting...
I think of coffee...
I think of pie...
I think of scones...
Things which are not on the 'menu'...
Ha~~~

Maple Season

Morning walk during autumn time...
The picturesque trails, the clean air & the sound of nature...
Helped me threw all the troubles far behind...
I'm fully charged.
It's another brand new day!

Pause!

Yes!
Take your time, enjoy!
Have a good weekend ahead!

An Inspiring Speech

"Find what you love, if you haven't found it yet, keep looking and don't settle."
"Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition."
"They somehow already know what you truly want to become."
"Everything else is secondary."
"Stay hungry, stay foolish."

A great and meaningful life lessons sharing from Steve Jobs.Indeed, a very inspiring speech.
It was a commencement speech he gave at Stanford University back in year 2005.
Full text of the speech is published on CNN, (link, below)

Do spend a little time reading it.
We all have our ups and downs.
Most importantly, we must have the faith & courage to face it.
When there's a will, there's a way.

L'enfant

~~~

A un petit citadin qui découvre la campagne, une fermière explique:
'Tu vois, là, le coq, c'est le papa. La poule, c'est maman. Les poussins, ce sont leurs bébés.'
'Et celle-là, fait le gamin, en désignant une oie, c'est leur femme de ménage?'
~~~
I picked it from a book that has been long neglected by me.
Finds it amazingly humorous for the first time reading it.
As I read again after some time, I finds it sarcastic somehow.

Summary:
A city kiddo came to a countryside, said to a woman that,
The cock is the father, the hen is the mother, and the chicks are their babies.
He pointed to a goose and asked if that's their maid...? @@"

Are you laughing now?
Do you finds it funny?
Or, you don't feel anything at all...?

If the words aren't from a child...
But, how naive and innocent of a child could be now?
In the current society we living in...

Could we be too frank to people around us?
How would one accepts people that are straight forward?
As we age, we learned that, it is complicated...LOL

Words can hurt, words can even kill.
We are either too careful or care less in words we using each and every day.
Probably, living in a world of lies and disguise..

Anyhow, I wonder how the woman gonna response to that kid?
Is she going to say yeah? Or, just laugh it off..?
Or, is that even a real story?

How would YOU gonna response to that kid?

Jelly

Too cute to eat!
It's a little too sweet for me but my little nephew loves it!
He just grabbed the cow when he saw it...
No kids will say no to desserts (I think)...

Raining Season

It rained a lot lately...
On and off...
River overflow...
Flood..
Landslide...
Victims...
These news are the last thing we would want to hear...

Gloomy days...
Sluggish days...

Walking tours...
Sunshine after the rain, yeah....
Soon....
