Just When The Weekend Is About To End...

I was struck with surprise when the Chien-yu's father came to visit us. Its a very rare occassion, and I an not sure why. Maybe the relationship between my wife and her father is getting better, which I guess is good for her. But for me...it meant another two hours of business and how to make money talk. Feeling a lot of pressure to make a lot money for the past few days.

On top of that, just because the father-in-law is standing in the room talking happily with my wife and Amelie is in the room playing, the damn mother-in-law has to come in too and make herself welcome, even when Amelie made it clear she does not want to see my mother-in-law.

I am not sure what I am feeling right now. All I know, I do not like the presence of my mother-in-law right now, in my room while I am writing this post, and I am not too pleased with all this pressure of making money from the father-in-law, and him saying that working for someone is not important, and it shouldn't matter, Chien-yu should use her head to find a way to start a business and make money...but with the father-in-law, I can forgive for the sake of Chien-yu.

I know at the time being, I ain't such a happy bunny at the moment with the ending weekend theme of "money, money, money". Not sure what to think at the moment.

So to cheer me up, I've posted a picture I took when Amelie was sleeping!

Lunch with Grandma Ng - Japanese Style

For lunch, after praying at Grandpa's resting place, we set off to a local Japanese restuarant which Grandma likes very much. I went for the roasted eel in teriyaki sauce with rice. It was really really nice, and could have had another two bowls. Grandma's favourite dish was the barbecued squid. We also have pan-fried dumplings, beef rice-don, and my Aunt ordered her favourite sushi rolls. Really enjoyed that meal! More photos here .

Homeward Bound

Hello again, thought I'd give an update of what's going on in my mundane life. After chatting with my wife, We will be moving back to my parents's home in Manchester (well Ashon-under-Lyne to be precise). We feel it would be better for her to have people around like our friends and family should anything happen. Plus I get to hang out with my friends again! As with my work, I will still be working at my current job in London. The plan is that I will be travelling to London to work in the office for three days (Tuesday to Thrusday) and work from home in Manchester for the other two days. I felt it was a good compromise, and I'll get something back for the travel and accommodation costs (some but not all), plus I'll will be stilling working and earning the dough. Now we're in the middle of putting stuff in boxes ready for the big move in mid-June. Dug out a lot of stuff that we don't need, so we'll be holding a car boot sale to make some ca...
