bird nest


今年的生日除了收到朋友親手造的生日咭外,也收到一些很名貴的禮物,其中一份是我的老友freda送的燕窩。當她把禮物放在我面前,讓我猜是甚麼禮物時,我只是見到一個外表很精緻的、像飯盒袋的物體。她笑笑口說我一定猜不到是甚麼。我見她這個樣子,心想必定不是一般的禮物,突然心中想,大概她攪盡腦汁也不知可以送甚麼禮物給我,於是便送上她自己公司的貨品----燕窩。於是我一猜便中了!我忽然覺得自己很聰明。=)

令我開心的不是名貴的禮物,而是我們十多年的友誼。

Book review 10 – Letters for Emily

Another good read. Letters for Emily is about life lessons; simple but essential lessons we should know. Emily’s grandpa wrote a book of poems for his grand-daughter. These poems contain life lessons which were just in time to save the marriage of Emily’s father, who once again experienced the love of his father –just like when he was four and his father caught him from falling from the tree.

*Have dreams, but be content with your journey.

*Choice in life is between good and evil.

*Always do your best.

*Of all the lessons in life, the one taught here is one of the most difficult to learn, that of forgiveness. I am not speaking of forgiving others but of forgiving one’s self.
