How I miss this Country..

Japan... after one year.. how amazing this country... still fresh in my mind...

I remembered our visit to the Chinese Fukushuen Garden...

To get there, from the end of Kokusai-dori, near Kencyo-mae monorail station, we took a right and walk towards the station. After about a 10 minute of walking, you'll see a park on your right & the walls of the Chinese garden on the left. Entry is free, they just ask you to sign the guestbook.

So nice being there, we spent our time... leisurely walked round the garden, sat on the benches, listened to the soothing water, lingered in the bamboo forest and absorbed the view from the cliff top pagoda.

The memories... the people... everything about this country... keep on coming to my mind...

oh.. how I miss this country...

tell me.. how can I forget Japan...

Sakura... the beauty of Japan's flower..

The cherry blossom (sakura) is Japan's unofficial national flower. It has been celebrated for many centuries and takes a very prominent position in Japanese culture. On Japan's southern, subtropical islands of Okinawa cherry blossoms open as early as January.

Exactly one year ago at this day, I got the chance to visit Nago Central Park, one of a great place to view cherry blossom. Basically, the cherry blossom season is relatively short. Full bloom (mankai) is usually reached within about one week after the opening of the first blossoms (kaika). Another week later, the blooming peak is over and the blossoms are falling from the trees. Strong wind and rain can cut the blooming season even shorter.

The picture above was taken by myself in Okinawa International Center (OIC). Well, as a pro-fessional camera lady, I tried my best to give the best shot for you to view.

Enjoy the season....

ANYTHING ABOUT EGGS

Hannah.. as normal kids.. she really loves eggs.. Anything that got to do with eggs, will be her favourite. But the problem is... she only loves the white part. So, everytime when we go out for breakfast, I mean... normally.. we will go during the weekend, she will order 2 eggs. And she will only eat the white part...

So, what happened to the yellow (yolk) part? well.... normally the father will finish them up.

I know that eggs are not good for us because of the cholesterol, so, I limit Hannah to have only those eggs during weekend.. meaning to say, no eggs during week days.

Well, as I understand, not only Hannah loves to eat the white part... a friend of mine when I was in Japan also has the same habit... he he.... So everytime when Hannah left the yellow part, my mind will flew back to Okinawa.... he he....smileeeeee....
