😘 With honey, the future always seems filled with joy, love, fun and beauty. Today, while on the way to conduct our experiment of “whether me drinking coffee can help honey be rid of lethargy”, we came across this small push-cart by Hampton House, which has a lot of pretty portcelain cutlery, bowls and plates. I can totally imagine honey and me using these in future. Honey likes them too. So we bought these. 😊

Poor Xiao ping collapsed after my darling …

😝

Today, 6/11, i went to pick honey up after work. We decided to eat Ippudo. 😘

Good food with my honey is always the best medicine to drive away mid-week fatigue. 😘

We went to the library again today 😄Reading is sth darling and I both love to do. But as working adults(feeling a bit old😒) there are never ending things to do during working weeks..and I have to admit that after a day of hard work, sleep and chilling around and watching movie..and all the activities which does not require that much brain power entice me more than reading😗
With the common goal and ambition to never stop learning and improving ourselves, darling and I are gg to motivate each other to do more reading and learning together😘

My hardworking man😘

Finally visited Colbar😊, nice place, decent food, lovely man with me.
Before we went there, we were kind of confused by what the blog （we found out about Colbar from some online blog) meant by ‘authentic hainanese western food’, with the menu, 谜底揭晓：the restaurant is serving a wide variaty of food, there are the western steak, the omelette, the fish n chip, sandwich, and at the same time, they have the curry fish, the 酸甜虾 and other Chinese dishes 🙂 Their chef is definitely someone willing to try out different style of cooking.

Darling and I ordered omelette and sausage chip mushroom to share:)

Food: 👍👍👍
Location accessibility:👍👍👍

(We were pleasantly surprised that the place is near chuckwagon we tried last time:), not far from our wild wild West, but driving needed)

Today is 5/28.. A long while since honey and I came out to eat and walk around. Today, after work, I sped down to simtech. Honey is in a very beautiful white dress with a cute little blue brooch just below the supraclavicular fossa, which accentuates honey’s purity and grace. As usual, we go into a non-stop exchange of information regarding the day we just have had. I want to know everything that has transpired in honey’s life. As we were busy updating each other, we also managed to decide on going to Watami for dinner. Yup, that’s how efficient we are. ✌️We ordered 2 bowls of noodles as shown in the pictures below. It was as tasty as I remembered it to be when we were last here.

Honey wanted to attract the attention of the waitress by raising her hand. I gave her a high five! 😝

After dinner, we went to buy honey’s contact lens cleaning solution. Then, we searched for the pebble watch. Found it at challenger @ JEM. Not worth it at $249. So, we turned our attention to finding the present for my brother’s birthday. Didn’t manage to buy it, but have decided on the 🐂 wallet. Will go back to robinson’s and buy it.

As we were walking to 🐂 boutique outlet, there was this taiwanese wedding photo package promotor, who angered me by hinting that I am old! 😤

But that did nothing to my great mood because of the lovely time I had with honey. Mindful breathing. Honey reminded me. 😊

I love you honey! 😘 hereby i sign the peace treaty.

I love u darling, 共勉😘 here by I signed the peace treaty.

Honey 生病了。从上个星期六就生病了。好心疼。我门要真的注意我们的身心健康了。现在，我们就好好享受两人的互相陪伴。😘

Today, I have finished reading the book “Anger” by Thich Nhat Hanh. It manages to touch me at the most fundamental level, where I just seem to know that what Thich Nhat Hanh is trying to say in the book is true. I know that my seed of anger has been allowed to manifest on many occasions without the mindfulness energy to embrace and take care of it. I will do my best to practice the teachings inside the book, honey.

 

I am going to type the peace treaty from the book word by word here my dear, because i find the words meaningful, and also because I want to be mindful of each and every word as I type them.

Peace Treaty

In order that we may live long and happily together, in order that we may continually develop and deepen our love and understanding, we, the undersigned, vow to observe and practice the following:

I, the one who is angry, agree to:

1. Refrain from saying or doing anything that might cause further damage or escalate the anger.

2. Not suppress my anger.

3. Practice mindful breathing and go back to myself to take care of my anger.

4. Calmly, within 24hrs, tell the one who has made me angry about my anger and suffering, either verbally or by delivering a peace note.

5. Ask for an appointment later in the week, like Firday evening, either verbally, or by note, to discuss this matter more thoroughly.

6. Not say: “I am not angry, it’s okay, I am not suffering. There is nothing to be angry about.”

7. Look deeply into my daily life, while sitting, walking, lying down, working, and driving in order to see:

The ways that I myself, have been unskillful at times. How I have hurt the other person because of my own habit energy. How the strong seed of anger in me is the primary cause of my anger. How the other person is only the secondary cause. How the other person is only seeking relief from his or her suffering. That as long as the other person suffers, I cannot be truly happy.

8. Apologize immediately, without waiting for the Friday appointment, as soon as I recognise my unskillfulness and lack of mindfulness.

9. Postpone the friday meeting if I do not feel calm enough to meet with the other person.

I, the one who has made the other angry, agree to:

1. Respect the other person’s feelings, not ridicule him/her and allow enough time for him/her to calm down.

2. Not press for an immediate discussion.

3. Confirm the other person’s request for a meeting, either verbally or by note, and assure him or her that I will be there.

4. If I can apologise, do so right away and not wait until friday evening.

5. Practice mindful breathing and deep looking to see how:

I have seeds of anger and unkindness as well as the habit energy, which make the other person unhappy. I have mistakenly thought that making the other person suffer would relieve my own suffering. By making him/her suffer, I make myself suffer.

6. Apologize as soon as I realise my unskillfulness and lack of mindfulness, without making any attempt to justify myself and without waiting for the friday meeting.
