水斗里的小苗

今天洗碗的时候，突然之间看到水斗下水的地方钻出来一支小苗。哈，是不是我在洗豆芽的时候，溜出去的小豆子在这里扎根了？不过可以见得的是，我的水斗有够脏的。不过，现在还是让它开心健康地长在那里吧。

看了以后，觉得很能引起我的共鸣。我也是爱喝点酒，也有过一个人的生活。

逃避比做错决定还要更糟

这是花样少年少女里面一个叫元秋叶的人讲的台词。听听还蛮有道理的，纪录一下。
花样呢，是我去上海以后，我妹叫我看的一部台剧。其实剧情一般啦，但是就是看看里面的俊男和一些搞笑的场面，就会让人欲罢不能。

rainy day with music

I was not prepared today is a rainy day as yesterday is a such nice sunny day.

I have an video conference in Haarlem this morning, so I have to be on the way early. I did not bring an umbrella with me. When the time I was walking on the way to metro, the rain became bigger, it is too late.

I have always a hat with me, it is useful now, as you know. I have my ipod with me, it is useful for the rainy day too. I played shuffled music. Most of the songs I have are a bit blue. Blue, not sad. Blue, good for this kind of rainy weather. Not so dark, not so desperate or depressed...but a bit grey, a bit disorderly, a bit thoughtful.

from yesterday - sunny day

It is really nice weather today. Clear sky, blue with white clouds, sunshine all the time. Although it is still cold, people are more willing to be outside.

I can not wait, I try to finish the things on hand, though I have not much things to do, but when you have to leave, you realise there are plenty small things behind, have not be finished. But anyway, I can do that later.

After I have been walking on the street for...5 minutes, I suddenly remember I have NOT brought my camera! What a mistake! of course I am telling myself: just enjoy, without it. :)

It is very warm to walk under the sun. It brings you very nice mood. I brought my ipod nano, listen the music I like on the way to somewhere (I have no aim). Can life better than that?

I walk, walk, walk...passing by the flower shop, the bakery, cafe. I look at the flowers, the interiors of the shops, I did not stop. I am walking quickly when I am under the shadow, am walking slowly under the sun. I stop a bit when I walk though a bridge to check out the birds on the river. I see cycling kids doesn't want to go home; I see druggie sitting under the sun; I see people are playing, chatting outside...

Then I had my trip around, I also need to go home. I have quickly done my shopping on the opposite of street, saw some polices are checking people around (maybe they are checking the identities?). For avoiding any unnecessary trouble, (I only bring my old expired ID card with me) I quickly walking home.

sunny day, good mood, walk around

After living in the NL for 6 years, I realise I behave like a Dutch sometimes: when there is a bit sun shine, I am so excited and must go out to walk, to sit, to enjoy the good weather, to catch the good time.

It is difficult to explain this speechless feeling to a Chinese person. They never lack of sun.

Right now, I am sitting behind the window, but under the sun, listen the music from my ipod, how can I explain the happiness I have this moment!

a picture just received from a friend, and it is quiet beautiful sunset now on the sky

Just received this beautiful poem and picture from a friend, my mood is very good. And I also see the weather again changed to a beautiful sky. The sky becomes darker and quiet...One day is gone...

"Who am I today?" I ask..And I wonder if I even know.I know the past has shaped me now,Even though the past was long ago.The little moments form a blur,The times both happy and sad,All the people I once knew,And the things I used to have.They all helped me to becomeWhere, what and who I am now,Because everything has influenced me,I'm not sure exactly how.But I'm thankful for the memories,Even of the people I've never really met,For the people I miss, the people I love,And even the people I'd like to forget.
For these memories have helped me grow,They've made me calm, yet strong,And now there's a story to my life,That they've been writing all along.
So, thank you for the memories.Without them, I don't know who I'd be -Because somewhere among these memoriesAre the things that define me.~~~

let's have a try with photos - how to make smashed potato

As I see the icon of uploading the pictures, you know me, I have to try it...Hmmm....hehe~~

Here I go to my computer, although it is attacking by unknown virus, luckly I can still open my computer and find something. I found some pictures when we make smashed potato. I told Wolfgang that I feel the taste of smashed potato from the package from the supermarket is not good. He said he feel the same, so we decide we should make it by ourselve, to taste the real taste.

Then, here we go. I use the photos to say it:

First, you need to boil it, water covers the peeled potato, and cook, cook, for very long time. You need to try it time to time to check if the potato babies are soft enough.

Then, after cooked, take out all the water. First smash them with this tool- a German pasta maker. It likes big garlic smasher. This time, it is used for smash the potatos.

This is how the potatos look like after the first smash.

Take a pot, put some milk in, cook them until boil a bit.

Use the machine now to smash the potatos, add a bit milk. little bit by little bit. Until all the milk in into the potatos. Stir it, stir, and stir...

Until it looks like this...smooth and fine.

Then you can season it.

How this looks like on the table...hahaha...delicious!

I knew after you saw my post, you will want to make it by yourself, it is simple and easy, right? Enjoy it!

the changing weather

If you have been in Holland, you will understand what do I mean changing weather.

This morning and noon, it was a beautiful sunny day. I was so happy, in the good mood, trying to finish the things on hand quickly, then I could go outside and sit/walk to enjoy the good weather. As I am still talk to my freind and mother, the clouds are coming...Without half hour, the weather looks like a cold face. I have to cancel my idea to walk outside, so, now, I am sitting in front of computer, complain a bit...

hello, Song Jenny, Jenny Song...and everybody

I have change the space to Blogger, just have a try to see if it is better. I will try to keep it in active. :P
