I always enjoy surprise, give me a birthday gift, leave a paper in the fridge or stick on the fridge, take roses home when back from outside or off work, take me to a nice restaurant to have dinner with, ask some friends of mine and show up in front of me….I do enjoy it!

However, I got a huge surprise last night, it should be the best one ever, Andy called me at 5 pm yesterday afternoon when he was in Shanghai, he said, I am going to have dinner with my clients, and I will call you around 7 before dinner or at 10 after dinner, I said, well, you can just call me when you on your way to your hotel after dinner, he said ok. And he said he has to get up so early tomorrow morning, since he will see off his clients.

 

I didn’t feel like cooking last night, I went to one of the Chinese restaurant downstairs, dinner was good, ate a little too much, and back home read some emails, watch tv, and played games on line… I didn’t realize it was 10 until Andy send me message, his message said : I am on the way to hotel, have conference call at 11, I will call you in 10 or 15 minutes. I replied: oh, ok. 11? He replied: Yeah, 11, conferences call. I was reading while I sent message to Andy. About 10 minutes later, Qiu bi barked, and I thought our neighbor came back, and my door bell was ringing, I thought the management people came up, I got a little pissed because it was 10:20, and I looked from the people, it was Andy! I couldn’t believe my eyes, and I looked again, yes, it was Andy, and I opened the door with my mouth open, I couldn’t shut my mouth for about one minute, he was just like: what?….what? with satisfied facial expression….it was such an amazing surprise! The best one ever!

 

Now it’s very clear, he called me at five, actually he was going to leave the hotel, and he said he will call me before 7, because he is going to boarding, he said he will give me a call after 10, because he just landed Shenzhen, when he said he is on the way to his hotel, actually he was heading our home!!!

Surprise comes with sweet lie, I don’t mind, I love it. Thanks Andy, such an awesome surprise!

It is 12:04, just hang up the phone with Andy, he is in Shanghai for his business trip, he spent more then 200 nights in the hotels last year, which amazed me! I still remembered that the first week I moved to Shenzhen, he had to go to US for 3 weeks, I was only stayed in Shenzhen 3 days, which was painful, and after back from US, 5 nights in Shanghai, couple nights in Beijing, couple nights in HK…. I aways joked that, I said, your company should hire more westerners, so they could share something!

This year, his business trip has been reduced, he said he tired of traveling, however, I know he realized “home, where the heart is!” He has been trying to reduce his trip as less as he can, I really appreciate what he did!

I should give more support, because this is what partner do. Just take care when you outside! and the most important thing is “cover your belly”. Maybe Andy you should explain what does “cover your belly” mean! (:

Finally I realized shenzhen’s winter is coming, the weather has been so cool from last week, Andy said this time is his favorite season in Shenzhen, he wishes the weather will be more like this. I said unless we move to Xining!

We got up early on Saturday morning, it was cool outside, Andy suggested to go out with Qiu Bi. There is a place called red forest, on the east Shenzhen bay, you can see some Hongkong buildings from there,  I always wanted to go there,   we decided to go there, we drove to the red forest, Qiu Bi was more excited then we do, he jumped up and down in our car, and his hairs were all over us…….

Because we went there early, we only can see few people, nice breath, sunny, just felt so relax walking there, there has a funny thing, wherever we’ ve been to, Qiu Bi always like walking between us, Andy and I have no more comments about this, well, we love him, let it be.Bcause we are family~~~ lol.

I just feel lucky!

This is home!

We didn’t blog for long time… we have had a lot of changes!

Our house is becoming home, where the heart is.

I still remember the first night in our new house, the A/C kept dropping waters, We have to turn off the A/C. it was in the middle of July, you can imagine how “comfortable” we were. We have been buying furniture to fill in our home, it turns perfect right now, Andy keeps saying, I love our home. Yes it is turning perfect, sofa just right, plants just right, everything goes with the wall color…

We don’t even go out stay up for a long time, because we feel comfortable to stay in, cook dinner by ourselves, see movies together. While Andy reading I can watch sports channel! Oh, yea, we like cooking at home, more healthy and more fun, I think you can cook dinner for the one that you love is the most happiness thing in the world, we both love cooking, most of the time we cook Chinese, on the one hand, Chinese food is much more easier to cook then western food, on the other hand, Andy wants to practice more and he wants to show off in front of his family and friends. Especially Tim and Alex, we were asked to make Chinese food for them when we were in US in May, but for some reasons, we didn’t do it, we are planning to cook Chinese for them during Christmas this year. Andy always amazed me, the day before yesterday, he cooked dinner for me, I think the dish was mushroom and chicken with some onion, wow~~ it was perfect, I saw him cooking otherwise I couldn’t believe he cooked all that, always amazed me! He is really good cook, his Chinese food is better then me, but my western food is better then him, at least my brownie is better then his…lol

I always falling sleep on him while we saw movies, he just likes a big pillow, and actually it just because the room was so dark, we turned all the lights off, dark always makes me sleepy. Andy always said I am lazy, but I want to say, next time when we see movie, please leave at least one light on.

We finally bought a car yesterday afternoon. Why I said “finally”? Because this car took our almost 1 month, over and over again, we lost both of our patient, finally it was done!!! I can’t image what will happen if we couldn’t pick up the car yesterday, Andy probably would jump as high as our new apartment! Anyway, we got our first car!!! Ford&<60; Focus. One of Andy’s favorite cars. We both excited about it, we drove home from downtown yesterday afternoon,however, I missed a very important client meeting yesterday, We drove our car to have dinner and shopping last night, we just “showed off”. Whenever Andy noticed someone stared at our car or him, he will have a huge smile on his face waving his hands and saying ” I love it!”.
We drove to work this morning, I was very excited, so were Andy. He made a cd full with love songs,air supply’s, eagles…..Andy was too excited about our new car, he became very nervous, he wanted me to “help”him parking, actually the guard didn’t say anything but give him a pass card!!!
He didn’t stop showing off, he drove to sea world this noon for lunch, you guys should know which is almost half an hour driving from his office to sea world, but he did it, he drove to sea world, parked in front of Wastons, ( because there are a lot of people around Watons everyday), went into the Subway, ordered one sandwich,went out of the Subway and got into the car, drove back to his office, he took 1 hour to show our new car off, which is sooo cute, after he came back to his office, he chatted with me on MSN, he asked me how was my lunch, I said ok, and I asked his lunch, he said he ate outside, and I asked him where did he go, he said he just cross the street. Alright! CROSS THE STREET. Because there is a KFC near to his office,just need to cross the street, but he was just playing words game with me, he said cross the street, which not means he walked and cross the street to get KFC,but means he went to our car which parked cross the street…..He cross the street and got into the car! and showed off in sea world!!!

I am starting to worry about my “face”, because I can’t drive,but now every guards in our garden knew we bought a new car, every guard noticed we back our garden with a car these days, what I am worrying about is Andy will go to Guangzhou next week, which means I can’t take drive anymore, I have to get up and walk on the street waiting for the f*** taxi again!!! Please!!! I am just tired of waiting and taking taxi… I want to drive!!!! I need to learn fast how to drive!
