Aphrodite trip at Cyprus - Day 5 +6 - Limassol and Coral beach

兔子在网上订了Limassol一日游。

伴随着导游机器人似的的讲解，导游女儿和朋友小鸟般的叽叽喳喳， 沿着一路美丽的橄榄树， 一个紧接着一个的水果庄园。大巴士缓缓地开去第一个景点。

爱神阿芙羅狄忒诞生地点:Petra Tou Romiou.

蔚蓝的海岸，美的艳丽，美的惊人。 公路的左侧是危险的白色风化悬崖，右首笔直望眼下去， 是蔚蓝透彻的海水， 几块巨石从海水里长出来， 站在水里，对着白茫茫的沙滩。

据说在那里的游水，能够永保青春， 皮肤会变得白嫩滑爽。

好在这里的一草一木一水都属保护，要不然早就给人挖空或者被人用阑珊围起来，收费了。

要不是跟旅行车走没有时间。我还真会跳进水里游一下， 享受一下这安静的美丽沙滩和柔和美丽的水于肌肤碰触的美感。

接着在一片山林里， 出现了一片庞大的废墟城市。

这是主要景点之一。 KURION。

这里有太阳神阿波罗用过的温池。 池底是用大片的马赛克拼出来的图案。 一个房间里有很多个池子，上下左右， 大的小的，一个接一个，当时的水管都是用瓦片似的管子搭出来的， 一格接一格。可以想象当时富丽堂皇浴舍，圆滚滚的一堆美人和健壮的男人们一起洗澡，说笑，该是何等的风骚，狐媚，性感，何等的快乐。

就像Sir Lawrence Alma Tadema 的作品， 充满了欢乐。。。摇醒了感官上的刺激。

这个地方其实很大，要一个一个的看，可能会需要一整天。

因为时间的紧迫， 只能走马看花的晃了一圈。拍了几张到此一游的照片留念。

下一站是LIMASSOL之前的KOLOSSI 古堡。

第一个古堡是1210时造的，现在这个是1454年从重建的。在中世纪属于白糖出口公司。

古堡走廊

古堡花园里的热带植物和它可爱的花球

下午一直地达到了赛布鲁斯第二大城市：LIMASSOL

城市繁荣，建筑陈旧，美丽的港口。比不上巴黎瑞典瑞士的欧式豪华， 但也透露出它特有土耳其与希腊交叉的古老风味。

后街上的小贩卖着各自的货色。（冒牌）丝巾， 皮带， 太阳眼镜。。。等等。

再有就是各种硬壳果，土耳其糖果，各种香料等土特产。

这里的任何一样东西都要比荷兰的便宜。

这里的皮带最低价是2欧，而在荷兰，就算在市集上买的也要5欧。

各种太阳眼镜只要10欧，就算是假的，在荷兰也要卖12-15欧。

这里吃的喝的， 要比荷兰便宜得多，而且东西新鲜， 味道好。

红酒才2欧1Liter. 如果海关允许， 我一定抗几个大木酒桶回去。

当然这只是假设。 事实上，我们只能天天在那里喝红酒，中/晚饭配红酒。放在肚子里， 最安全。

不一会儿，我们走到LIMASSOL港口， 反正也累了，拖了鞋子，把脚泡进了碧蓝的海水里。看着小鱼在脚边游来游去。 一边看着美丽的海岸，一边空中规划着我们的未来，一边回忆我们刚认识的好笑情景，一边考虑晚上想吃什么， 一边拍设影像， 一边对着蔚蓝的海岸傻笑。爽呆了！

去赛布鲁斯旅游的华人很少。我们在那里整整6天，只看见了2个英国来的华人。可能这里没有什么旅游纪念物可以带回去吧？ 加上这里看的东西真多，用脚走/爬的地方也很多，属于苦旅游那种。

在这里买便宜货的游客大多数英国人。华人都去意大利/瑞士买名牌包/表， 都买昂贵的真货去了。

我的收获也不少。赛布鲁斯的各种烹饪香料和天然花草制作的香皂。给自己买了一块洗脸的天然海绵，给妈妈带了一块天然洗澡大海绵。

第六天， 也就是整个旅程的最后一天，早上我们在hotel的泳池里， 游来游去，清醒清醒。 然后我们坐在院子享受了Cyprus的最后一顿早餐。我们计划去珊瑚海湾的海滩上享用了午餐。晚上， 我们坐着KLM开开心心的离开了Cyprus 回到了荷兰。

后记：

天然花草油制作的香皂很好闻，用起来皮肤一点都不干，还很滋润。值得买。

洗脸的天然海绵，锁住水分时，超级柔软，但是很容易坏。会一点一点地掉下来。

妈妈的那块大海绵， 可以吸很多水分，和洗脸的那块一样，不能大力。很容易撕破。

我们的皮都挺厚的。。。需要硬一点的人造海棉才舒服。

Aphrodite trip at Cyprus - Day 4

天天打着电动游戏， 脑子里却想着剩下几天的旅游日记还没有写完。

前天小兔子告诉我， 他已经在准备着11月份的旅游日程了。

看样子迷人的游戏要先放一放了。

第四天我们去了旅店附近的经典古迹。 座落在海边的皇家古墓。

其实据说这个古墓里从来没有葬过往生的帝皇们。

这里葬的大多数是皇家侍卫，皇家亲戚，骑士等等。这些人的真实尸首其实大多已经躺在博物馆中。

这里只是已经开发了的墓地，还有没有发掘的墓地。

刚进门，发现了几个小墓地， 通过石阶走下去，有几个月洞门式的洞口， 里面空空的，棺木和尸体早已不在了。再往下看，洞里还有洞。。。一个看上去小小的墓，里面却可以放9个大棺木。 而且很深。很阴凉。。。虽然知道是个墓地，但是一点都没有阴森森的感觉。

再往公园里面走走， 一个墓接着一个墓，因为座落在海边，有的墓地已经变成风化石。远远看上去像不同的小动物。

有的墓地沿着楼梯走下去， 像一个地下迷宫，巨大的柱子， 气派的挺立在那里。上面看不出什么，走下去后，那个面积，那个雄伟，还遗留着当年的贵族样子。

从上往下看，好像ESHER的作品。从下往上看， 连墓地都可以是那么的雄伟，当时的建筑设计却是那么的摩登。送外往里看，洞中套洞。 有的古墓一连有3个地窖， 第三个地窖也看得清清楚楚是因为建筑师利用了上面的太阳， 在每一个洞穴中放了几个窗口。小窗口套大窗口，墙上窗口套过上方洞口，一个不折不扣的迷宫。

当落阳散落在古墓上，洞里的这些窗口给古墓带来了意想不到的橙色光线。

所有的墓都已经空了，取而代之的都是在咕咕叫的鸽子。可怜那皇亲贵族， 生来享受富贵，往生后， 埋入那么美的地中海边的墓地， 却死后不得安宁。被当地政府和波兰大学的考古学家们挖出尸首放在博物馆中，陪葬物品也被这些徒子徒孙擦得干干净净， 翻来覆去的研究， 贴上有关的标签，有名有姓的放在博物馆里。

这个地方大得不得了，累了坐下休息一下，借着已经风化了的古墓遮太阳， 吹着海风， 别有风味。沾一下风水宝地的光。

走这个古墓花了我们整整一天。。整整快乐的一天。

Aphrodite trip at Cyprus - Day3

第三天早上， 我们美滋滋的吃了早餐后，小兔子的肚子好像情况良好。

我们决定继续我们的旅程。我们的目标是：Katos Paphos Archaeological park.

照着小兔画的地图，沿着路边， 我们找到了一个山洞，但是找不到洞口，绕了整整一大圈， 在一个草丛中找到了洞口。

这是一个躲避国王追踪时， 逃难的地方。洞口真的保存得很好。 到现在，也是很难找得到。也不收费。

一进洞口， 这个地方真的很大，一个洞套着另一个洞。

往上走， 还有小房子，还有窗口，还有楼中楼。

哇， 太出乎意外了，这个经过精心设计的大山洞， 还有个大平台。大平台上还有遗留着的古籍。精美的马萨克拼图和很多当时留下来的土制盆盆罐罐。

在这里转了半天，在这个山洞里，正好挡住了炎热的地中海大太阳。

虽然，这里时常有海风，但是还是很晒。

脸上，身上时时刻刻要摸防晒霜，买了SPF20+ 还不够用，再买SPF 50，摸出来就和日本舞技的脸一样了。。面缸里浸出来的。 但是还是会被太阳晒到黑红色。

在加州顶多是古铜色，在新加坡， 香港就是湿热，也没有什么风，这种时候， 多数在商场或海洋公园底楼。。台湾有山，山上有树， 可以躲一下，但是这里不一样。山上只有古籍。太阳毫无顾虑的笔直的晒在脑袋上。

不过还好时常能吹到海风，就算热，只要有风，就爽多了。

正中午时，我们走到了Katos Paphos Archaeological park 世界遗址之一。

这个地方真的是光突突的大呀。 为了遗留下来的马赛克古籍，公园门口算是放了几个为了保护古籍的棚。 真的是只有几根木头和一块布撑起来的棚。只有大面积的马赛克是用塑料和木头搭起来的大棚。

赛布鲁斯的museum可能是全欧洲最便宜的了。不会超过6块欧，如果超过了，那个地方东西一定不怎么样。 越是便宜的地方，看到的东西越多。越是真正的古老，狂野。

我通常不喜欢马萨克，欧美大众店Blokker, Lowes, Target 等卖的马萨克桌面花园家具，我一看，就觉得老气，真难看。

可是当我看到这古老精美的图案时，我再一次的被感动了。

那么大面积的图案，精致的花纹， 可见当时人们是用大量的时间和耐心，用一块块的小石子拼出来的罗马神话图案。

油画是可以由深至浅的调颜色而画出立体的感觉。这里的马萨克是用各种颜色的小石头， 一块一块拼出立体感。 女神衣服上的褶皱是以不同色的小石子拼出来的。最古老的马赛克图案是用圆圆的黑色小石子拼出来的。

当时的想象力就是那么的丰富，色彩，动作， 故事都在里面了。把整个故事用小石头，拼成一块超大的石头地毯。多不可思议的艺术。

在炎热下，睏了的猫咪兄弟。

老大虽然支撑不住了，但是还是抬眼警觉地盯了我们几下。

最后和它们玩成了好朋友。

据说赛布鲁斯的猫可以和眼镜蛇搏斗。

这里的小猫够不相信人的。在荷兰或美国。胖猫都会懒洋洋的看着你，走过来，摇摇尾巴，撒撒娇。 这几只小猫咪， 一见人就逃。警惕心很高。

大的还会照着小的， 是只有爱心的，负责任的，很不错的野猫哥哥。

在炎热下挠痒的猫哥哥， 好像是给大蚂蚁咬了。

不管有没有危险倒头就睡了的老二

最小的小猫，好像有气无力，但是后来一见一群对它大叫“cute" 的金发笨女郎，跳起来就跑，一溜烟就直溜进了草丛。那速度和它那有气无力地姿态，根本连不起来。一只忍者猫。

去吃兔子定好的神秘晚参之前， 兔子带我又找到了一个旅游地。那时天色已晚，没有什么人， 真方便拍照。

那神秘晚餐是当地最好的mezze 餐厅.

Mezze 是一种地中海食物。土耳其，希利亚，中东的一些地方也会有。Mezze是由大大小小十几种食物组成的。有冷的，有热的。一小盘，一小盘的端上来。听说有的地方的mezze是由几十种小小的食物组成的。 听上去像是在吃十几种广式点心或是印度尼西亚的rijst tafel.

小虽小，但是十几盆端上来，用了很多cheese, yogurt, 牛羊肉， 吃到第七个餐时，就开始叹气了。一边喝点红酒， 希望可以冲下去一点，多一点位子出来。。。哈哈

吃完mezze的结果是徒步慢慢的从海边散步回去。晚上得风真大，太舒服了， 左耳听着大海的声音， 一眼望出去，漆黑一片，偶尔看到白色的浪花。右边是世界遗产之一：古城， 还有一个古老的灯塔，慢慢的转着幽幽的灯光。。。给远处的船只打着灯光。

沿海一直走到旅馆还是很饱。。。

哎！喂胖猫的兔子是有罪地。。。

Aphrodite trip at Cyprus Day1 & Day 2

一下Paphos飞机场，有一辆白色的加长LIMO停在机场门口。

马上有人跑过来和我们打招呼，自称是旅馆派他来接我们的。

那红脸汉子西装革履，忙前忙后殷勤的帮我们拿行李，开车门。

一边驾车，一边情不自禁的介绍当地情况。

车子驾在公路上，黑洞洞的， 看不清什么。

过了一阵，好像到了一个小镇，只看见路边的小吃摊和夜店。 感觉上不是到了欧洲，倒是像是到了印尼。

车子慢慢的驾到了旅店的大门口。 旅馆的人员跑出来，帮我们拉开了车门，领我们进了旅馆。

这是一个坐落在海边的古老的城堡改进过的旅馆。里面的装潢具有骑士风格。巨大的古坛子，漂在水池上的蜡烛，气派的古典装饰。。。每一件经过精心设计的摆设，怎么看，怎么配。

大堂经理马上让人端来迎宾饮料，之后派人送我们进预定的房间。那人一边热情的介绍旅店的各种设备，一边进屋子帮我们打开阳台大门。楼下爵士乐飘入耳边，还伴随着阵阵的海涛声。因为天色已晚，虽然听得见海涛声，但是黑洞洞的，看不见。

我们在房间里要了两份当地的晚餐。 坐在海边听着爵士乐吃着烤过的Moussaka喝着当地的红酒

第二天清晨我第一个醒了。控制不住的兴奋心情的我慢慢的拉开了窗帘。哇！。。。我被眼前的美景惊得目瞪口呆。。。

金黄色的太阳羞羞的从海面上探出了一点脑袋却把大海照得金灿灿的。

天空蔚蓝蔚蓝的，一片晴空，一朵云都没有。 楼下的游泳池和放着轻音乐的池中酒吧已经为旅客们开放了。

从我们的阳台放眼望下去， 眼前的海滩是这个旅馆的私人海滩。早上人比较少 我还有点怕冷，跳下去后，旁边都是身体很结实的老头老太。他们游得很爽。。感觉上一点都不怕冷。

左边的台上几乎每晚都有爵士乐现场表演，养耳又养眼。

美丽的落阳象爱神的眼睛一样注视着Paphos

在我们吃早饭的花园里，种着青柠树， 树上停满了调皮的，吃得很胖， 跳不大动的的小麻雀。

早饭后，小兔子安排了SAFARI TRIP。坐着吉普车上山拍照。 开吉普车的是一个英国佬Paul，以前的职业是石油大王的保镖，但是因为觉得城市生活太紧张， 他和太太搬来这美丽的地方。这里的人都比较好客，朴素。人与人之间可以诚恳的相处，是一个可以自由自在过生活的地方。这个trip很特殊，加上了我们的导游一共只有5个人。

他一边开车，一边讲解这里的民族风情。一边随地拔出小草， 小花放在鼻子上闻或在树上摘野果让我们抓着。这个地方真是生长水果的好地方。种什么长什么。吉普车经过成片成片的香蕉林，橘子庄园， 连路边都是橄榄树， 无花果树， 各种香料。

CORAL BAY 珊瑚海滩的美丽景色

山里的橘子庄园， 山顶山有一间烧烤店， 别有风味。

当然有花果的地方蛇虫也不少。黑色的眼镜蛇，金银蛇，小手掌一样大的， 腿上长毛的蜘蛛， 屁股上长刺的，颜色绚丽的蜘蛛。

山顶上飞旋着老鹰。。时不时地把石头扔在山里，当你一个人在山里迷路时，看样子如果好运的话白天还行，晚上就说不准了。

上山到处散放着长着圆角的牛羊。一看就知道，每天晚饭里的肉是新鲜的。。哈

可爱的新鲜的山羊。。流口水的猫；）

午餐的地方靠海，海水清澈透底，看得见鱼儿，这里到哪里，都环绕着碧蓝的地中海。

在这里我们吃了烧烤，喝了美味的葡萄酒，这里真让人流连忘返，怪不得能让导游离开家乡， 来到这片美丽的异乡，从新建设家。

离开是非， 离开噪音， 不是我们都向往的未来吗？

我们过了一整天的印第安那。琼斯瘾(Indiana Jones) .

顺便提一下， 这次的全权旅程都是由小兔一人搞定的， 我只不过选了旅馆和告诉他我一直都想去CYPRUS。其他的， 不好意思，都是小兔安排的。

不错的计划， 谢谢小兔。

当地的土烧烤锅， 太酷了，好像新球大战的机器人 R2D2.

可爱的像一团小虫子的花团

治肚子疼的路边紫色小花

站在爱神的泳池旁望出去。

Polis是山上的一个小镇。没有什么人，大概给我们这种到处拿着相机的旅客吓跑了。

Lara bay - 据说每年有成千上万的海龟来这里乳蛋，这里已经受到保护。

一个无人的沙滩。。。太美了。

Giethoorn

羊角村

两星期后，小兔子也回来了，爸妈决定一家人出去游玩。

这几天为了搬家， 忙得人人都觉得灰灰的。爸妈忙得灰灰的。。我忙着玩FACEBOOK。。

爸妈舍不得女儿帮忙，女儿一回家也就利用这luxury， 懒懒散散的。

在US还要理家做吃的。一回家，摇身又变回了小姐样。天塌下来， 有爸妈撑着。

真好！嘻嘻！

坐了近3小时的火车+公车，坐的屁股发酸终于到了。

一下公车，肚子却饿了，妈妈建议先坐下吃鱼，爸爸却已经开始到处拍照了。

羊角村的油炸鳕鱼（LEKKERBEK和KIBBELING）配蒜茸浆相当的新鲜，鱼肉嫩滑， 好吃得很。

生的大西洋百鲱肉嫩汁多，肥得很，配上洋葱粒， 把鱼的甜味提了上来。

烟熏鳗鱼鱼肉很厚实，味道鲜美。

一家人优哉游哉坐着船喝着咖啡欣赏着夏日的羊角村。和来来回回的旅游者打着招呼。 每个人都是笑眯眯的。。。这是发自内心的快乐，无比的轻松。

撑船的是一个金毛帅哥， 一边讲解羊角村的历史，文化， 一边自己在享受荷兰的盛夏和小河旁吹来的风。

下船以后，走在这飘落着白杨花的小路上， 两边都是划着船旅客，有坐着大巴士从德国来的， 比利时来的，台湾来的，香港来的，大陆来的，还有自己骑脚踏车去玩的。

随便找个咖啡馆坐下，人看人，人看船，人看牛羊，牛羊看人，大人看小孩，小孩看大人， 吃块苹果派， 喝个咖啡， 谈笑自如。这就是荷兰人的生活。为了开心而生活。

这样开心了足足3个多小时，恋恋不舍的我们要去赶最后一班公车了。

前前后后加起来花了9个多时辰， 前六个小时都花在交通上了。不过这个地方很值得去游玩。

我们全家又过了一个快快乐乐的一天。

About Chap. 2

After I wrote Chap.2 Visit from NYC

There was overloaded lies, tears, threat, gossips, hypocrisy, ungratefulness.

There were too many ugly stuff to handle, but you learn a lot from it.

*Profession has nothing to do with education.

People are into classic music, art or literary  doesn't mean that they have a good heart, being humble, honest or people with courtesy. They could be as selfish, as disgusting like any one.

Next time, when you see some "elegant" lady play music on the stage, she can be the one who's wearing a underwear that hasn't been cleaned for 2 days or a person who invite herself into your house to make a mess of it and still have the guts to gossip behind your back. 
"What happened when people see this article(even the article didn't mention her name)? omg, I lost my reputation because of this(Like I have 100k visitors every day). You destroyed my reputation. I will sue you!"

This is the way how a "elegant" music performer will say " THANK YOU".

What are you talking about? What reputation? Who are you? Few videos on YouTube, doesn't make you a super star. How pathetic! 

Have you been thinking for somebody else? All those damages you made? Oh, of course not, what was I thinking, she was totally NARCISSIST ! 

After we took her out for restaurant, movies, beaches, all we heard from her mother is she's crying everyday, she complained that we were treating her badly. She is been tortured. 

Did I tortured her to tell her to keep her voice down after midnight? She is calling her friends at 4am everyday, my hubby has to work everyday, we kept hearing her voice and laughter, so I told her nicely to keep her voice down.

After I told her to practice her music before 22:00 and not 1am in the morning. Her mom told me that we didn't give her freedom!?!?
Everything in the house is been taking care of, so she didn't need to do any households stuff and that considered treat her badly?
She shouting/screaming like people who suffering from mental disorder at me on the phone that we were heartless people who doesn't care about her, that we didn't see she was crying every night. All we saw was a happy smiling girl in the morning.  I wasn't sure her mother ever mentioned that she got DSM-5-TR or personality disorder.
Isn't it scary? I got goosebumps when I think of her behavior. She could be a psychopath. 

You are the one who invite yourself into my house while we were busy with moving, didn't you forgot how you sound like when you need a place to stay?

If you are so famous like you said, you shouldn't be pathetic, you should get your own place to stay.

Trying so hard to make the others feel bad, so she can taste a bit of superiority is what you called classy?

What a sad insecure, low self esteem broken personality.

Are you kidding me? Have you even been educated? The music school only teaches you how to perform the music and not how to be a human?

After I know she said bad things behind my back, I still allow her to stay in my place until the last day(her mom said that she got nowhere to go). Now I regret that I didn't kick her out right after I know what she did, she is too selfish to know we are nice to her, not because we own her something, we don't own each other anything. You are just a relative that I rarely see, you need help, so I help you. That's it. 

*Sometimes, some people, just left the way as it is, you don't have to know them. When you know them better? scary ugly things will come out. Stay away from those people.

*Some people rather refuse to admit their mistakes, they just want to live in their own pride or should I say, their own lies?

* don't fool yourself by how it looks.

*Disgusting shameless people are everywhere.

*Say NO, if you doubt about something, even the one ask you over and over again, No is No.

*People standing on street play music, perform art didn't mean that they are not artists; people that performance on the stage doesn't mean that they are always the artists.

* Please know the person that you take home with. If you really want to help them out? Please watch Criminal Minds, CSI before you are trying to help.  
*The more people I meet the more I like my dog - Unknown  
Very true, if you give 1% of your love to dogs/cats, they will love you 100% back, but if you give a lot love to a human, they may back stack you. So watch out your back. 

Cyprus, Here we come

小兔子知道这几天一只猫被家里的事弄得不开心。

他从电脑后面跳出来，说他做了一件会让我超开心的事，让我猜。笑眯眯，贼嘻嘻，　嗯，猜不出，心烦到也没有心思去猜。

那么高的他，跳来跳去的告诉我，他刚为我们订了去Cyprus-Paphos的机票和酒店。　

地中海六日游，我们的客房面对大海，酒店有自己的私人海滩。

那是爱神Aphrodite的出身地啊!蔚蓝的海,迷人的葡萄酒庄园,新鲜的海鲜,快乐的人们,世界遗留的古迹,适宜的海边按摩,坐Jeep探险,潜水看珊瑚,哇!太浪漫了，太幸福了。兔子太棒了。

我很快把烦人家事扔到一边去了。

我们忙着找路线，看地图，看哪里有好吃的，好看的，怎么去。等等.

是啊，我有兔子的溺爱，爸妈的宠爱，家人的疼爱，朋友的关爱。。我为什么要生那鸟气？多浪费时间。开心最重要。

　

Cyprus, Here we come!

Nerd Rage

After a while, I get tired because of too much sleep...I opened the magic door to OZ and I found Facebook games.

First Farmville, and then cafe world, after that restaurant city, social city and on and on....

I play very little games unlike my hubby gamer. I think that is also why I still don't wear any glasses.

This FB games adventure to me is just like a dried sponge soaking up water in the bath tub, a diabetic person finding some sugar free candy. I found my Pandora box. It's fascinating.

I've never had any addiction last that long, not including loving my bunny hubby. The gameplay is all the same. Make money and build beautiful restaurants, cities, hotels, aquariums, cyber cribs, Islands, bigger farms....etc. enlarge, expand, decorate and spend cyber coins. Clicking the mouse over a hundred times a day till my fingers cramp up. Watching your restaurant growing, harvesting normal tree and catching tree spirits to make magic trees that can blink. Wow..I know I sound like a geek now...but it's amazing. The coloring, the cute little artwork they make. The masterminds who design these games got me and all those millions of people go crazy with a simple design.

The games are free, well it depends on how you want to play. If you want to make your restaurant/city look different than the others, you have to pay with cyber cash...you are going to use real money to buy their coins or you spend money for example, clicking on their Amazon advertisement. I am too dutch to pay Beta games like this, so I start slow, I need to make money first to build or decorate.

It opened my cyber eyes.

After I enjoy the game, I found out a lot of friends are playing the same game. The game that I was fascinated with, a lot of my friends were already playing it for over a year.

You can invite your friends to play with you, you can help them out to help yourself. That's what the game is about. Sometimes you need to invite people, otherwise you can not expand your restaurant/city/farm/island anymore. It's also bad if you don't have that many friends who are that into gaming, then your restaurant/city/Island/farm will be stuck there in a small size even when your cyber coins is overloaded(if you want to play for free).

I put my cuisine art, my munny's, my design work, my Flickr, my blog, my website aside.

That's how I stopped blogging for the last 5 month.

I am still playing these games everyday, it's like unfinished homework. But it gets less and less interesting because I can't expand my restaurant nor my cafe nor my island, you get the point.

I am experiencing nerd rage.

The wedding

Wow...It 's like ages since I touched my Blog.

I guess it was since my wedding.

A wedding diner with over hundred unknown relatives from both sides and friends of friends of friends will make you go nuts. Actually it makes you FAT.

Don't get me wrong, I love food/fine dining and making delicious food for all my life. But stress makes you eat like an elephant.

I always wanted to have a simple wedding ceremony and go on honeymoon for halve year or so, play Jane and Tarzan in the tree house somewhere in Brazil?

Well, guess what!?!? when reality meets parents, things are not in your control anymore.

I am not, was not a psycho bride. At least I try not to be one of those bride-zilla. I try to keep one eye open and the other one closed, that will make life go easier. Until mother in law, family in law got involved, I've had it. I closed both eyes to prevent war.

Sometimes, once in the lifetime, you need to be a puppet. A moment like that. It makes your life much easier.

Note: If you close both eyes, they will think you love your other halve deeply and willing to do everything for him.

Don't ask me what I say that day? how many hands I hold? what I eat/drink? I hardly remember a thing.

I saw my beautiful wedding after the pictures come out. It was a beautifully crowded day.

So, good luck to all those just falling in love ones and the ones who decide to get married soon.

Most funny stuff is all those in law relatives tells you to eat less, to be thin(very Asian). I was like because all of those stress that you guys bring us, I eat like a elephant(not all their fault of course) and now U are telling me that I am fat? I need to lost my weight or eat less. Are u guys out of your *bleep**mind?

I am invite you to celebrate with us, not to insult us? Are you that drunk?

Blablabla...

It's like you decide to make a movie, you pay, other people write the script, you have to play the roles and they are going to judge you whether you are a good actress or not. They make people think that they decide everything and it's their party.

I am glad the whole thing is over. No movie, no judgmental people's, it's back to normal, it's just two of us. Back to simple life.

We moved at the end of January to our new place. I thought finally we can be relaxed and try to relax after the wedding diner.

Mid January, my aunt called me to tell me that her daughter in NY is coming over to visit us for a few weeks.

OMG...No, resting.

After we brought her to the airport for the 3rd time, finally. I think we were truly relieved that this time, it's for real.

I didn't want to do anything, I was so sick and tired of all that had happened. I wanted to sleep all day long.
