無敵可愛弟弟 vs 無敵好吃美食

還記得可愛到讓人流口水的ㄉ一˙ ㄉ一 ˇ嗎？
弟弟回台灣過暑假啦
二表哥說 剛接到兩姊弟時就立刻前往臭豆腐專賣店
弟弟聞到香味說：「好臭啊～」
吃了一口後說：「很好吃，可以真的很臭！」









弟弟的行程滿檔
要回台南奶奶家
台中叔叔家
台北外婆家
所以沒有時間來花蓮玩耍

張同學跟我特地前往台中
看看這個super sweet boy

瞧～
一上菜 就專攻臭豆腐
（右邊是弟弟的媽媽 左邊是弟弟的堂姐）




















吃涼麵














來口大肥鵝
















吃完生魚片
喝口水 喘口氣



















香酥的烤羊排
























烤羊排還真有嚼勁兒
呼呼～～























狂喀台灣美食之餘
不忘看一下鏡頭












吃完十四道菜之後
弟弟還一直旋轉餐桌
找東西吃
看來是還沒吃飽

二表哥趕快加點一盤銀司捲
小號銀絲捲
沾上煉乳
香甜可口










我們大約點了十五道菜
三大壺果汁冰沙

弟弟實在吃太撐了
開始放空...













阿秋大肥鵝的菜太好吃
來不及拍這就被掃光
看看別人點的菜色

台灣美食無敵
瞧大家滿足的笑容

Da Da!!

Remember Luca? (The cutest baby in my blog)
Luca is one year old now!
The only word he said now is "Da Da".
If he said "Da Da" in a demanding way, that meant "You people give me milk right now!"
If he whispered "Da Da", that meant he was singing in a good mood.


















It's been a year since we saw Luca last time in New York. He has grown up.























Luca treat me a beer as welcome. :-)





























Little Luca was our company for four days,
and we had a great time with him.
















We drove to Berlin from Kiel together, and we went to Potsdam to see the palaces.
Luca just woke up and he was very stripy that day.














He gave us a big smile as usual.























Luca surely is a boy.
























According to students of NYU, he was such "a cutey pie!"

小Ing的故事--粉紅兔到台灣

之前跟Ing Ing一起逛街
每次看到可愛玩偶我都愛不釋手
不過礙於價錢
只能看看過乾癮
這時Ing就會冷不防從旁丟下一句
「這個我自己作就可以了～」

她這樣宣示的次數多了
我也就真的要她作一個給我
還指名要一隻兔子






兔子身體的粉紅色純羊毛
是我們一起到下東城的超級大布店買的
衣服的布料
是Ing在NYU附近手工品用店的戰利品

無師自通的Ing參考一下日本手作的書籍
就開始不眠不休工作了很多天
認真程度連Dennis都說：
『Ing默默坐在客廳角落工作
叫她好幾遍都沒回應』

（兔子旁是Ing的高級琉璃收藏品）



















Ing反覆確認我回台灣的日期，擔心趕工不及，
製作期間也密切跟我聯繫
問我：
手有一點短可以嗎？
衣服要穿什麼樣式？
裙子要縐折嗎？

















回台灣前又去Ing家享用了大蝦麵
也領了這隻可愛的粉紅兔
當作是離開紐約的禮物

看了第一眼的感覺是真的超可愛！
兔子還有小肚臍喔
先不給你們看

















粉紅兔跟我坐飛機回台灣之後
也展開了忙碌的行程
先是坐高鐵道台中張同學家
再繞過中央山脈到花蓮陪我們看查宿舍






















二表哥的兩個女兒
也很喜歡粉紅兔
不過...
我只能借他們看看而已 :D
















有一天問張同學
粉紅兔該許什麼名字
他說：就叫小茵好了
以茲紀念張茵茵辛苦的針線情 :D

我們帶小茵到國美館培養藝術氣息


















小茵已經到花蓮好幾次啦
雖然要搬到東岸很高興
不過這個老舊宿舍著實嚇了我一跳 ><

自己一個人跟水泥師傅談估價時
只有小茵陪我
看來以後小茵要跟我一起勇闖花東啦 ：D

New in New York--Luca Baby

Dear all:

We are immensely happy: Luca Marlon was born today at 8am.
He’s so perfect, it’s unbelievable!

All the best, Monique + Markus

Monika has been waiting her baby boy to come to the world for two weeks.
She was still quite active during these days before the delivery.

Monika even ask me to to go picnic in the park~
I was wondering how she could sit on the grass with the huge belly...

Little Luca was born on June 19.
He is quite a big guy, weight 3590g.

We went to visit Luca the very next day in the hospital.

Monika mentioned to me about the horrible details of her delivery...

She said, the only advice to you is...
to have a baby!

After a week, we saw Luck for the second time and he already gain some weight... about 20g.
Good for you, Luca. :D

See, he already has the double chin.

Luca does not want to wake up from his afternoon nap.
No matter how hard we try, he is in his sweet dream.

He has been sleeping for 4 hours and I guess he is saving the energy to play at night.

The only picture Luca opens his eyes during our visit.

He looks quite confused...

Guys from Finland--The Ollinaho Brothers

We met four interesting guys from Finland during this trip.
They are so young, so energetic, and like extreme sports.
When Yu Hung, Hung Chieh and I planed to go see the museum,
the little brother Eerikki told us they wanted to go
river rafting, horse riding and rock-climbing.
You can easily tell the difference between
people of middle age and people in their twenties.











The big brother Ossi Ollinaho.
A PH. D student, now he is doing his research
in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil .
He is so good at chatting up with girls.
Whenever he chatted with girls in Spanish,
the other three guys could just stand back and watch...
envy maybe, Ha.
Once Eerikki told me: I wish I could speak Spanish.

Walking along the rail road to the water fall,
Ossi did not want to walk horizontally
but vertically.


















The second brother Pirkka Ollinaho in the back,
he is a Graduate Student of Uni. Helsinki .
An expert of astronomy, he showed me the star of South Cross.








I put lots of sun block and wore a hat to prevent the sun in Machu Picchu, but Pirkka couldn't wait to enjoy the sunshine.
The Ollinaho Brothers are confused why people holding umbrellas in Hong Kong in sunny days. They thought it was funny.

When we stayed in the jungle overnight,
Pirkka said he had a dream that he fight with a jaguar!!!










The cute little brother Eerikki Ollinaho, who earned money from online poker for this trip.


He taught me the first Finland word "SISU".
With Sisu, he killed a reindeer by bare hands when served in the military.






"Sisu is a unique Finnish concept.
It stands for the philosophy that what must be done will be done, regardless what it takes.
Sisu is a special strength and persistent determination and resolve to continue and to overcome in the moment of adversity,
a combination of stamina, perseverance, courage and determination held in reserve for hard times."











Eerikki was quite sick in the jungle,
I heard he vomited all night next door...
He was too sick to go hiking with us the next day. Eerikki: where is your Sisu?













Hannu Matalaa, the left one in the picture.
He is not the Ollinaho family.
Hannu and Eerikki are best friends.
Hannu also loves to play poker online, he is very good at snowboarding and soccer.

















Jungle soccer.
Hannu is the one kicked soccer with bare foot.










The Finland guys are not afraid of the freezing water.
Sisu...
