Hong Kong

This is the 4th time I came back to HK since my immigration. The most difference among these 4 times is that I am a mother now. As a mother, the baby is the priority. Rationally, I accept it, but perhaps mentally I am not totally ready for it. I haven't been lot of places in HK yet. Yesterday was the first time I was not shop in Causeway Bay, but just for an hour. It is not easy to go far and stay for long hours outside with Elisha, so 'the mood' to hang out with friends or visit relatives or shop or sightseeing really not high! This makes me frustrated because I am not doing what a tourist suppose to do! Well, still have 2 weeks left, hope God helps me to 'enjoy' this trip!

Arrival

Last night, my family finally arrive to HK. This is the first trip and first flight with Elisha, so Denis and I had to mentally and psychologically well prepared to this trip. We packed E's toys to entertain her in the plane, but of course, most entertaining to her is us! ha!! Fortunately, E bahaved quite well in the plane, so we were not embrassing! Maybe she was too excited to the new place, plus the jet lag, she did not sleep well last night, so did us! Well, this was expected, hopefully, things will get better! So far, she looks healthy! Thanks God gives us a safe landing and pray that He will give us a safe and good trip in HK!

A Call

I received a call from my good friend tonight, and we did not have a long chat, but we shared from our heart. I felt warm because she knew that I will leave this Sunday, and she tried to call me at a time I was not very busy in packing. She told me what she was struggling, and how she felt. I also told her what my struggles were and how I dealt with them. We did not give advice to each other but we surely listened to each other, and felt support from each other!
A long and meaningless conversation does nothing to us, but a short and heartful call can lighten our life!

Anger

I found that my tolerance to my honey and daughter is lowered recently. I can easily burst out my anger towards them when they don't follow what I want or expect. To Elisha, when she doesn't eat well or suddenly being fussy while eating, I will yell at her ant stare at her very angrily. If she doesn't fall to sleep after tug her in for quite awhile, my temper comes! To Denis, when he doesn't get my points or forgets what I ask him to do, my tolerance will drop to zero! After I cool down, I feel bad for what I have done to them! Well, maybe what they have done is not what I want, but they really don't deserve to be yelled or hurt by me! Our relations and love don't deserve to be ruined by my anger!! I pray that God give me love and patience to deal with the things that I don't like and bear people's shortcomings.
