港德大不同 -- 婚宴籌備篇 - 1

在德國,邀請朋友出席婚禮有條不明文規定︰
1. 歡迎攜眷出席
原來,婚禮在社交圈子既層面上仍然擔當相當重要既角色,
簡單黎講,出席婚禮及婚席係視作為一個識人的機會,
據(我身邊個位)說︰俾伴侶單拖出席既危險甚高,
一個唔覺意俾佢識咗其他人就分分鐘玩完。
我自己講出嚟自己都唔信,係咁既話返工放工咪都係跟到實﹖唔通佢又作故仔呃我﹖
Rita話德國既婚禮,伴郎如果帶埋女朋友出席,會一齊March-in 步入教堂。
聽完佢咁講我就開始安排次序,橫計點計都計唔掂數
得伴郎一個帶女朋友嚟,咁咪點都突一個,想點﹖
中西合壁唔到唯有其中一邊讓步啦,而讓步既當然唔係我啦,事關係我安排架嘛。
但係邀請朋友出席婚禮同婚席既時候,遵例都問埋朋友的另一半,不過都冇咩邊個帶埋啫。
除咗婚禮,其實喺德個大部份既宴會及PARTY都係「歡迎攜眷出席」既,
為咗呢個問題,我地討論咗好耐,只能夠講係文化相異。
2. 無論大小形式婚宴聚會,人情照做
喺香港梗係冇人埋啦,除咗正規中西式婚宴,大安旨意唔駛理啦
甚至連去多幾個婚宴都唔想,因為要做人情
會咁諗我都明既,香港真係搵食艱難
但係計Budget即時候就唔同計法,搞咗我好耐都解唔明我身邊嗰位
結果,佢就開始萌生擺婚宴既念頭.....
而加埋家姐同阿RUTH既建議,結果我地就訂咗婚宴喇

Dragon Boat

Surprisingly, we were on the way to a dragon boat activity.
Then, same surprisingly, we were sitting in a dragon boat competition.
Then, more surprisingly, we won.

Cherry started to blossom these days,
I am amazed by how fast plants can grow with the right temperature and enough Sun;
But also I am annoyed by the bees and flies around the house already.

Had half a glass of red wine last night...
.of course I was totally drunk.
Heart pounding, face blushing.......
I really can't drink at all.
Luckily, Mr. Y can't drink too!
He managed to finish the bottle of wine and a couple of beer.
But he had a very bad hangover now....slept the whole day over already!

First Birthday in Germany

Usually I celebrate my birthday with several groups of friends.
This is the first time I celebrate it in Germany.
Rachel and her friend was visiting Berlin on this day,
so I have the luck to spend the day with them.

I didn't realize how much I miss my friends in Hong Kong.
But they are all so far away and unreachable.
that makes me sitting in front of the computer and start writing blog again.
I miss you all, my dear friends!!!!


Luckily, we had a very nice breakfast with the family!
With very nice gifts as well.....Cool!

1st time home sick

first time i wanna run away from here and just go home.
dun really think i am capable in managing this races problem here.
but somehow i wanna calm myself down and try to talk to myself.
that guy is not even part of the family now, and everyone know he is just pitiful old fool. so why shd i bother.
but its just not easy to keep positive in this case,  cos i know its not the last time such thing gonna happen. and not the last time i meet this guy.
i am so screwed.
its not like i am the most stupid and worst person in the world. at least i didnt feel in that way for the last 27 years in Hong Kong. but i feel like a complete idiot here.
and then in the middle of the night and in the middle of the forest, i dont know who to talk to.
so tonight i choose to keep my mouth shut and try to live with it. its not like i can do it, but i try. its not really possible to run away from here anyways.


Real Spring

Language school visited, placement test done, but course date postponed.
Hanging mattress is out, warm n cosy sitting in the Sun.
Tea time with tonnes of sugar, so gonna skip the cake tomorrow, hope dont gain weight so quick.
Garden is still wet, so went painting the door.
New task tomorrow: painting day.

Carnival Day

went to carnival in fleetmark.
saw some old timer, had a fairy floss, shoot some bullets.
had a look around Yves little primary school, and the playground he played in, so cute.
spent sometime in the garden under tge sun, went into the nice little sauna, sweat a bit.
