my new room!

We moved back to the old house for about a week now. The renovation/ refurnishing took us almost three months. (T - T) I wanted to have Uncle Matt and dad to come over to help. ;) I am happy to be back to the old place. We have "moved in" but there are couple parts missing: no real curtains in all the rooms, no sink in the other bathroom, more light fixtures needed to be installed...etc. But it's nice to be home. 

I would show you more of my new room but the desk and bookshelf I wanted to get from Ikea are both sold out until mid October! I am typing on my lap right now with lots of boxes around me. Hehe. Miss you all! I will probably be updating more often once I have a table and a job! Har Har Har.

today is kind of like thanksgiving

plus fourth of July and maybe a little Halloween combined in one day hong kong style. It's not the perfect example but that's how I felt when I was on the bus back home. 

You might have heard my plans for Tokyo/Okinawa have been delayed well over a month and I was bummed because it took so long to get it all figured out. But I would like to think that whole waiting time was a blessing in disguise. If I left last month I would not get to spent my birthday and this year's Mid-Autumn Festival aka the moon festival at home! Kids go out today with pretty lanterns after dinner while giant "flower lanterns" are also set up in different parks. 

I shall be back with some pictures later!

p.s. Of course instead of turkey, I had a moon cake yesterday. 

p.p.s. Uncle Matt once told me if he became the President of HK one day, he will make HK celebrate Thanksgiving by the way.  

so i tried to look for them...

here at home when I was sad.

then i feel better. :)

lets just make it simple....

a nice and quiet meal

the safe calm feeling of being at home

and be able to enjoy the sweet sweet mother nature...


things like that are very very nice already.
i seriously couldn't ask for more....

is the little things that counts.
