Happiness is…

…being alone with 3 yakking Chinese mothers and their 3 screaming infants. Well now that I think about it, it’s either that or a warm gun.

Yeah – yeah…

…. I know the pic is an oldie, but I just love it. I found it after cleaning some folders and I just had to share. Especially since I hate Jehova’s Witnesses as much as they hate logic. I look forward to my next run-in with them, even though I still haven’t found a plan to keep [...]

… I have to share: Deep down, in places we don’t talk about in public, you know you want to know, right? May be related to this entry and may or may not be yours truly’s toes. If, and I emphasis if, it was to be my toes, the training in making nails, would have been [...]

Bathing in Yilan, China

A newbie Laowai’s notes on Chinese public bathing for foreigners You enter the joint while all employees look at you with awe and say “Ni hao” (this is the version where they’ve actually seen you before). Then you let your Chinese wife do the buying of fat laowai washing time, as you flip flop in [...]

Thought of the day

Thought of the day: If they ever invent a machine that can: open jars, press out the last tooth paste, act as a warm pillow in the night, lift heavy things, act as body-o-comfort when strange noise appear and take a verbal scolding with a straight face for something you haven’t the slightest idea what [...]

Tie some pasta to your neck

What the hell is up with bowties? What man really wants a bow tied to his neck? For one I think it looks like a squid ink coloured Pasta Farfalle? And why is it that bowties is expected at the Oscar Awards and not at weddings, office work or changing oil on your lawnmower? So [...]

My work finally introduced IP telephones to all offices. Seems to work just fine after a few days of configuring the servers and so on. The quality is good and there are new features. Everything is fine and dandy. Well, except when I found out about the headset solution. I would have figured that you [...]

Thanks for the ego boost

So there I was. Well-used from one of this years first chilly bicycle rides home from work. Just entered our apartment and started talking to C about ordering flight tickets for our trip to China this summer. In the middle of the serious conversation, I started to undress since I had worked up a good [...]

Now you’re cooking with power!

Last week C cooked up one of my favourites. Chinese beef soup with huge horse beans. Absolutely yummy. As always I tried to make casual strolls to the kitchen to get a whiff of the coming treat. That day I found this sight: From a distance it looks quite harmless, but as I glanced closer, [...]

The downside to being married is that you have to do things you would never even consider doing when you were single. For example: I have been kindly asked (read: commanded) to cover up my freshly injured finger by C when I am outside. Ok – fair enough, makes sense not to chill it too [...]

Still hangin’ around

1/1-2007 our department were split up into two new teams. This Tuesday the physical move started. Half of the old team are now in Human Ressource and moves to their new “cell”. Their new room needs a bit of tidying up before completely ready if you ask me. For one some cords hanging from the [...]

Are you all right?

Dear coughing old woman behind the concrete wall, Are you all right? Do you know that before we moved to this apartment, we had plenty of annoying noise from our neighbours? Do you also know that this new apartment is much less noisy and that until recently we enjoyed exactly that? The 2 first months [...]

This is what you get….

…for becoming one year older. If you didn’t know it, I’ll tell you: 35 is officially the age where you’re considered old. At least, that’s what my wife apparently thinks. For my birthday I received a cute little gift wrapped a million times. When I finally opened it all up, it I must admit that [...]

My wife – the romantic

As some may know, C and I had our 1 year anniversary day the 16th December. As I described in this post, I went out and bought her a few gifts. I even made a long letter for her. I found it pretty romantic myself, and since it is my blog, I’ll just give myself [...]

It had to happen…

…Da Shan finally visits Bring on the Night! Yes! – DA SHAN! I was sitting in my own thoughts admiring my FireStats, when I suddenly glance at the table of recent visitors. And what do I spot? No other than the world famous Canadian/Chinese icon Da Shan made a visit (see the Canadian flag if [...]

If you’re a frequent guest of our house, you’d better start trembling. My old-new loafers/golfer shoes (whatever description suits them best) didn’t die as expected and went through a remake. If you read the old entry you would know that the misses “spiced” them up and transformed them into a pair of fashion killers instead. [...]
