Kudos to the rescue workers. They’ve worked tirelessly day and night to rescue as many people as possible from the rubble. Many of them are working without proper equipments, exposing them to risks of injury. And they didn’t care. All they had in mind is to save trapped victims. Their spirit reminds me of the 9-11 incident, which still give me tear-jerks whenever the anniversary is near.

I don’t remember celebrating Good Friday in my life before. My parents were raised as Buddhists, but when we were kid they gave my brother and I religious freedom – we followed our neighbours to Sunday School, went to visit temples and etc. They gave us a choice. In the end, my brother and I chose to be free thinkers instead, although we still firmly belief in the existence of a divine entity :)

I only remembered mom preparing turkey during one of the Christmas eves. We helped her to wrap the turkey in a foil, shoved it in the microwave (most Asian families don’t have ovens at home because we rarely use them – in fact, a rice pot and a wok will do, plus gas, of course). A few years after that, my parents got really scared by the health effects of consuming microwaved food (which is scientifically unfounded), they gave the microwave away – and it was in such a good condition, what a waste.

Sounds like you’re going to have a lot of fun this weekend! I wonder if you’re going to take photos of the party and share them with us, heh. It’s nice to have guests staying over! I rarely have guests staying over at my house – except for my cousins and etc. My friends never spent sleepovers. It’s just not part of our culture, how sad! I realized that I’m missing out a lot on the sleepover fun, hah!

Thanks for the best wishes!

Thanks for the compliment! Actually, Fonty Friday is giving me a good reason why I should consciously invest some effort in cooking up a post on a weekly basis, even when I’m busy, heh.

take care ;)

This is my first time hearing about this earthquake.. All that goes through my mind is “why?”.. I have to push it aside because those are answers we’re never going to find. My heart goes out to ALL those families. And a BIG THANK YOU to all the firemen, rescue workers, and all the others helping. Those are true Heroes! Thank God for people with huge hearts.

Speaking of heroes.. thanks for sharing the Sponser Lee website. How amazing of this guy! And very cool he has almost reached his $2,000 goal. I absolutely love people like this. They make your day, you know.. they really do.

As for Good Friday, we don’t normally celebrate. As mostly a Christian family.. you’d think we would but we never have. You know I just recently started studying Christianity and about Jesus so today will certainly be the first Good Friday I actually sit and think about the importance of this day. As for Easter.. my family gets together, probably 30 of us and paint eggs and hide them for the kids. Get all dressed up, cook out, and have a good time with the family. We just recently started talking about Jesus and the story of Easter for the little kids. So that was interesting.

We’re also celebrating my niece’s 2nd birthday so this weekend should be loads of fun. My other niece, Alana, whom I helped care for for almost two years is coming down to spend the weekend with me. (Her and my sister has moved away for a few months so I am THRILLED to see them again!) I’m very much looking forward to this weekend. :)

I’m glad that even though you’re swamped with school work you still take time to blog! We love hearing from you. Especially on fridays. :P

Hope all is well and you enjoy your weekend!
