试镜

每一个周末都过得飞快。
每一个星期一都好像永远睡不够。。。揉着眼睛， 强打着精神, 脑子还在半醒的过程中， 脚却自己站起来了。
扛着还带着眼屎却不知怎么洗完的脸和一开嘴就闻到了好像肚子里死了一窝兔子的Dom出门上班去了。

星期天，冒着热辣辣的加州大太阳， Dom特意驾车让我去 Huntington library试我的新相机。
站在炎热的太阳下， 弯着腰对着百媚娇态的花zoom 来zoom 去又要堤防耳边的小蜜蜂， 想取到一个自以为perfect的shoot。 没想到这也是一个钢铁是怎样练成的过程，太需要一个人的意志力。
要拿出那种挺晒不动气， 小蜜蜂嗡嗡，我毫不躲闪， 太阳太辣，差不多没氧气，眼冒金花，但我不怕的精神。
Olympus 相机和镜身都不算重，但对于我这种拿惯小相机外出的， 大照相机留在家拍的， 平时不大运动的人来讲。。挺累人的。。。大口深呼吸。。。晒啊。。。汗哪！！。。水。。。
猛回头一看，俩老翁手提半米“大炮”， 那种Discovery拍动昆虫的镜头， 全身埋在小蜜蜂堆里， 只露出一堆鸟巢似的灰白发。 一老翁拍到了中意的，他回头对另一老翁， 露出满意的笑容， 好可爱的神态。俩老头是爱摄影的老搭子。
居家猫太没出息了，连俩高龄老翁都比不上。。。

因为拿了大相机出门，才会注意到， 现在很多人都在玩相机。。。“大炮”拔出来时，都不小，走来走去，多是男性， 用肚挺着，手端着的又长又大的”炮筒“。。。
渡边纯一和李敖两位大师都提起过，小男孩至成年男性只要逮到机会，就会比谁的那条有形，多长，多粗， 多大。。。 相信他们一定也会比“炮筒”。。。到底几个是真功夫？ 几个是自得其乐？ 几个是摆拍的？

回家后，刚把一块满嘴流油的牛排吞下肚，屁股一阵抖，还以为楼下哪家在打游戏机，声音传到了楼上，不以为然。
突然间，又间接性的抖了一阵， 一只猫和兔子挺着装着牛排的肚子飞身起来， 没马上出门， 却只在网上看了地震的消息。太不警觉了。。。等我们看完，地已经不抖了。但是我们还是出门了，不为了地震，只为了肚子里的那块牛排没地方挤了，塞在胃里， 不爽。
一边出去走走， 一边看看别人有没有反映。没想到，整个圈子里的人好像什么都没有发生。在家看电视的看电视，打游戏的打游戏，溜狗的溜狗。
加州虽美，但是是个地震区。 这对当地人而言是小抖抖，小意思了。但对新加坡兔子和荷兰猫来讲， 够可怕的了。与去年那一次比起来，好多了，因为这次小兔子在旁边。

Dom' Surprise

Before Dom left the house this morning, he turn his head and tells me that there would be a delivery today..It's those magazines he ordered online, so I have to stand by to receive the package.

4PM, the package still didn't show up yet, Cat become impatient and got angry cuz Dom didn't called her and say some honey sweet words like everyday.
So Cat decide to leave something on his MSN. Such as " I wouldn't call u, cuz you didn't miss me anyway" ..Dom on the other side of the screen tells me with overloaded confidence "honey...i know u will call me"..It was weird that I can even hear he is laughing behind his screen like a bunny.

So I kept telling myself" there is no way that I will call this bunny, because he is not missing me at all...all he thinks is his work..work...work..." Bit angry and sad I felt.

"Ding...Dong..." there goes the door bell, finally is the postman there...after signing for the package, I look up at the box and my name is on it. I was sooo curious like a kids want to know what candy I would get, Gently I open the box.

There it is, the camera that we were talking about monthly. He is blinking there in front of me. A big smile came from deep in my heart, I run to the phone and called my sweet hubby who is lying to me to make me happy.

" I know you would call..." he adores my unique Cat's sounds...hihihi...He is very happy cuz I am very happy with my surprises..

"Oh dear, I have to admit that I love most of his small evil minds"
And of course the diner is incredible like every other day...(according to my hubby of course)

Dom 跟我说， 有一个包裹要12点左右收，是他定的杂志。

等到了下午4点左右，包裹还没有到，而DOM 又没有给我打电话，一只猫心里有气，写MSN给他，今天我是不会打电话给你的，因为你一定没有想我。。。他在MSN的另一端，贼眯眯的笑。。。你一定会打电话给我的。讲得好像很肯定。。。猫想，才不要理你呢。。。

“DING。。。DONG” 邮递员送来一直包裹，上面写着要我签名。。。猫很好奇， 打开一看，马上就和Dom 打了电话（又上了他的老当）而且讲话时还柔柔的，甜蜜蜜的。。。
Dom连骗带哄的送了我一只OLYMPUS的单眼相机。。。
我们最近着迷摄影。。我拿惯了他的单眼去拍，再去用小的拍， 太没劲了。。。
终于现在一人一个，外出时，可以一起“拔枪”。

当然那晚的晚餐和第二天的午餐也比较丰富。。。不是啦。。。开玩笑的啦。。。。晚餐很少不丰富的。。。呵呵呵

Tomato basil & Garlic

Dom has OT at Tuesday night and I just need something light,tasty and not too troublesome.
As a dutch student, I've been "pro" in making spaghetti, macaroni's.
So now let's try it again.
Tomato basil spaghetti with garlic meatballs.
Watermelon and Californian orange fruits mix.
Well, we both love the result...well I like it as diner and he likes as Wednesday lunch.

Cat & Dom 简介 - Dom's version

Would it be too much to say that fate brought us together? What started off as a random meet up between two persons from two different countries would later become a relationship that lasts a last time. Just call me corny, but maybe true love does exist. And if you believe it doesn't or if you are one of those jaded singles, I hope our story will help you think otherwise.

Rotterdam. Thursday night. Cat is waiting at Centraal station. Raised in the Netherlands under the care of her parents, she has both qualities one would find in asians and caucasian, at least this is to my opinion. Dom is getting off the train, wondering how this new friend would turn out to be. He's spent the last 6 months working in Amsterdam and has decided finally to start meeting new people.. especially female friends. Because the games industry is suffering a huge absence of the female species and being in company of a hundred game nerds may be fun, but it does nothing for the romancing hopefuls.

They meet. Certain awkwardness is expected. We exchange the usual formalities and head on to Hotel New York where we would learn more about each other. And then at the end of the night, Dom being the gentleman that he is would see Cat home. A very normal and casual meeting between two random people.

Fast forward 2 years, Dom has intentionally brought Cat to Changi Boardwalk. She thinks they are there for a walk in the beach. Yeah right. Dom has other evil plans. They both take a slow stroll down the boardwalk, Dom is secretly timing the sunset and estimating how long it would reach the secret location. Time passes and it is perfect. The sky starts to cascade into the sunset, emitting a sensual mix of oranges and blues. As the sun sets, Dom suddenly drops to his knees and pops the question. Yes. The will-you-marry-me question. Cat is shocked, I reach for the ring and pry the tifanny blue box open. The glare for the diamonds blind Cat (ok not really, but it blinded her sort of as I sense her heart fluttering like a butterfly). We hug, we kiss. We got married. Love alas, could be something more than just a fairy tale.Certain truth exists in it and I found that truth in the moments that we are with each other.

What's next? I don't know for sure. But I do know that whatever happens, as long as we're together, the feeling of now brings us enough joy to hope for tomorrow.

And by the way, it was Cat's idea to set up this blog and she insisted I write an entry so here I am pouring words out of my heart. I hope you are not regurgitating over my words.

Cat & Dom 简介 - Cat's version

CAT出生在一个开满郁金香的王国， DOM在不小心碰到CAT前， 从遥远的小小的新加坡飞到荷兰，在AMSTERDAM工作时，又不小心碰到了键盘上的ENTER。。。双鱼座就是这样和魔蝎座相遇的。

我们很喜欢旅游，短短的2年中在欧洲的几个小城市，中国的山水和新加坡都留下了我们的足印。
我们彼此很爱这种感觉， 希望一直珍惜这份缘和拥有这份爱。

当DOM单腿跪在樟宜木板路上给我们彼此那个机会时， CAT当然要留住这份我们都向往的未来。

DOM现在从事美国暴雪,用甜言蜜语把CAT 也顺便捎过来。
CAT现在从做24/7 服装设计师换成从事烹调，摄影，读书，旅游，写博客，画自己喜欢的东西，做自己喜欢做的事的专家。

我们现在都很满意自己的空间。
