Sister-In-Law's Departure!



After eating, we went right away to the airport. They took Eva Airline to Hong-Kong. We left home at 6:05 P.M. and we arrived to the Tao-Yuan International airport at 6:45 P.M. The traffic was not too heavy. We could arrived on time. After they have check in, they went right away inside and wait for the plane. Alan will miss her two cousins. It is also, the time for us to go back to Tainan right away.

My Mother-in-law's Dog Died

Yesterday, David went to pick up our family's dog 園園. This is my mother's-in-law's dog. She took care of him for 15 years already. It is so hard to imagine 15 years taking care of the dog and giving him food and other things it is a little bit hard. Also, the long company between the animal an the human is also inseparable.

yesterday, when my husband brought the dog back home, I saw him a little bit strange. He cannot even walk or see. I knew it is the time for him to go back where he came from. Unfortunately, the little dog's life ended at 12 P.M. on December 31st, 2006. My mother-in-law was crying like a horse, and my husband could not even sleep last night. 15 years of life for that dog is already amazing. Whenever he is, I want him to be happy and rest in peace.

Going to Tao-Yuan 桃園

Today, I woke up very early to prepare house things. I took all the clothing inside to dry better. I also, need to prepare to go to work. After teahcing, I went to have my hair done. Alan and I went to the doctor and we went to buy some fruits to bring back to Tao-Yuan (桃園). Also, we went to Shing-Kong (新光三越) to buy presents for David's nieces that they came back from Hong Kong to Taiwan. Unfortunately, they won't be in Taiwan for too long. I have three gifts for each of them. I have very cute photo phrame, two DIY flowers and dog. I am hopping they will like it. I am hopping that they can make it.

We have to take a train from 2:45 P.M. to 7:30 P.M. In the train, Alan was playing with his daddy and he was taking pictures all of himself. Alan is a very cute child but sometimes he makes me very angry. Also, Alan was sleeping in the train all the way to Tao-Yuan.


When we arrived to Tao-Yuan, David's sister and her husband came to pick up us home. After arriving home, my mother-in-law already cooked food for us. The dinner was ready. During in the train, Alan ate dinner already, so won't be hungry at the time when we arived to Tao-Yuan. We three have a great trip.

Going Out for Lunch!





Today, I brought Alan to eat at the noodles store. This egg noodle store is very popular in Tainan (擔子麵). Alan and I went to the new egg noodle store. From outside it looks like very high quality and expensive but after looking at the menu, it is the same price as other places in terms of noodles. We really enjoyed eating noodles and the soup because it takes very traditionally. After eating the noodles, we ordered dessert. It tates very good and Alan had puddin, he also enjoyed his dessert. We will like to go to that store again in the future.

Jojoh Gave Alan a Christmas Present




After the performance, Jojoh send me a little gift for Alan. I told Alan that he cnanot open his Christmas present until Sunday. At that moment Alan wanted to open his present, but at the same time, he learned how to wait until Sunday to see his present. Whe we opened our present on Sunday, Alan saw puzzles and he was really happy. He started his puzzles right away. On monday he went to Shen-Kung, he told aunt Jojoh that the puzzle that she gave it to him was really hard.

Spending Christmas Eve at Taichun's Church




On Saturday morning, Alan had his Funfest (園遊會) at his school, we went home to shigang (西港) right away to prepare our laguage and go directly to Taichun. It took me and Alan two hours drive.

Arriving to Taichun, it was already 5:30 P.M. I was very tired, and I stoped at the shop to buy some new winter dress for work. I got great deals. I bought one skirt, and two dresses. I was going to buy more but it was kind of expensie all together.

After shopping, I went directly to my grandmom's church. All of members of the church prepared big meals. I really enjoy the meal that my mom and other families prapared. After dinner, we had programs at church. I enjoyed the first program was a band group from high school. I really like them and their music.

The program took very long, and I was very tired. The worst part is that my sister Anita did not want to accompany me or Alan. She likes to be with her friend. If I were her, I will be with my sister all the time. We do not see each other everyday, so getting or beig together is very aluable time, but she did not know that, unfortunately.

Ten Years of Marriage!

Today is our ten years of marriage. David, the ten years wondeful husband told me to go and buy some present and he will pay for it. It is very kind of him. I went to buy some winter dresses and a skirt. They are so pretty. I also asked him to go and buy whatever he want and I will pay for it.

In the morning both of us went to work and Alan went to school. After school, Alan had his pianno lessons. We were waiting for Alan to finish his class to be able to go to eat all three together and celebrate our tenth aniversary. We went to eat steak, Alan choose to eat noodles, I had big bone steak, and David had his small bone steak. My meal was the biggest one. I was really full after eating all these food. It was great and the meat was so tender. Alan also enjoyed eating our meats. We had a great time together.

Ten years of marriage is good because we take care of each other. At the begining of our marriage, we had so many problems, because our lifestyle and we also came from different families made us so different. We learned how to accept and adapt each other. I think the first year is the most difficult time but afterwe are not just adjusting to each other but also to both families.

I am glad that we had a wonderfultime together and one wonderful child. I am hopping that my son can have a good carrer and a good wife in his future. I want my son to be happy forever. He is now like a prince for me, he can get whatever he wants. I am hopping that he will know how to take care of his own family and us. God gave me a good gift which is my son.

Indian women before they got married, they need to paint their hands like this. This means good luck! to them. Men usually like what women paint on their hands, it symbolizes pretty. In my culture, this is ugly, but it is pretty in the Indian culture.
