Steve正做着他拿手的chocolate cream pie，嗯...不是做给我吃的。明天他将带我去见他的母亲及姐姐全家。Steve通常都会带他们喜欢吃的 chocolate pie 当拜访食品。
Steve已完成做好，他说怎么他的助手帮不到一半过程就无声的走开了。哈...其实我没怎么帮他，他在做 pie 时我就替他拍照，准备寄给你们看他在大展厨艺，也是让你们看看家中的厨房一角。大件厨具有厨台、水洗盘、洗碗机、炉灶、微波炉、烘烤炉、等。
除了 chocolate pie，还有 kuih kapit 又名 love letter，是我在未来美国前，Steve和我去我的二嫂家学做的。我们带了一大珍 (奶粉tin)我们做的 kuih kapit 来美国。Steve很喜欢吃，但我控制他不可吃完，至少要留一些给他的家人嘛，带去让他们分享 Malaysia 食品，而且还是我们亲手做的呵！Steve说以后可能他们会要求 kuih kapit 做为拜访食品，那就麻烦了........
我心里似乎有一点紧张，明天第一次见他妈妈，好像丑媳妇要见家婆.....
Steve was making his famous dish – chocolate cream pie, em….but not baking for me. He thought to visit his mom and sister tomorrow and he will bring their favorite chocolate pie with him. He usually brings one when he visits them.
When Steve was done, he wondered where the assistant went half way through making the pie. Ha…in fact, I didn’t help him much. I was taking photos while he was making pie, to share with you. Also, to share photos our kitchen area. We have a kitchen counter, sink, dish washer, electric stove, microwave, oven and etc.
Besides chocolate pie, we are also taking kuih kapit, also called ‘love letter’. We learned to do it in my sister-in-law’s house and brought one big container of kuih kapit to the US. Steve loves to eat it, but I didn't let him finish it all. I at least want to save some to share this
I feel a little nervous going to meet his mom for the first time, like the Chinese saying the ‘ugly daughter-in-law going to meet mother-in-law’….

2/6 星期六，我们又出去找餐馆吃午餐，我们都是新客，可以说是一起exploring亚洲餐馆及食物。这里的餐份较大量，我都是打包吃不完的食物回去，这样又可当另一餐了，哈哈...你看，是不是很划算？哈哈... 而Steve通常都吃完他的份量(除了疏菜)，啊..难怪这里的人体都那么... 噢！原来Steve在Penang或外国时吃的食量比我的少，是因为他不习惯外国的食物，现在是我吃的比他的少。
这里不管是什么店，店员都会向客人打招呼问好，非常亲切。真是很大的差别...
用餐后回来，我们又一起清理大客厅及小厅，很累啊！
星期天，我们特地提早去botanical garden走走拍了一些照片，
其实目的是要去见我们的媒人 – 我的心理剧老师也是Steve的中国画老师。中国画是Botanical garden办的其中一项课，所以就在里边的一间课室。很高兴的聊了之后出来，Steve挂在肩膀上的相机却遗漏我们三人的合照。当初我和Steve的认识是从我和老师; Steve和老师的照片而开始用email交往。这是我们三人第一次在一起，怎么开心的谈到忘记了合照呢?2/6 Saturday, we went out to find a restaurant for lunch. Both of us are new to Asian restaurants here, so we need to explore. In the
Most of the staff in stores here are nice, they are friendly. I feel there is a big difference with
After we got back from the meal, we cleaned our living room, oh…so tired!
Sunday morning, we went to the botanical garden and took some photos. We went to meet our ‘match maker’, who is my psychodrama course teacher, but is Steve’s Chinese painting teacher. Chinese painting is one of the courses taught at the botanical garden. So we met her at the classroom before she started the class. After we had a nice meeting, we left and headed to parking lot. Suddenly, we realized the camera hanging on Steve’s shoulder was still there, but we didn’t have photos of the 3 of us together. Steve and I initially knew each other from photo - my photo with teacher and Steve’s photo with teacher. We started emailing after seeing each other’s photo. This was the first time the 3 of us were together and we were so happy talking. Why did we forget to take photos?

When Steve got home from work, he took 2 or 3 hours in the last 2 days to clean the patio (room near the backyard), and we planted a few types of vegetables. I hope we will have a small vegetable garden soon…. Steve said his mom and sister would never believe he planted vegetables, because he doesn’t like eating vegetables (except potatoes)….
秀英和振安各自写了一篇辅导文章，未刊登在报章而先把它寄来与我分享. 真的很高兴他们的分享，也很高兴一群的义工可以将辅导越做越广.
我想时代越来越进步，通过skype做辅导应该是适时最方便的其中一个方式，希望中心当务之急可拟定出这个程序…..

Hi,
昨天我们去一间 import 家饰店, 我们看中一个挂在啬上的艺术品, 名称是 Buddha enlightenment wall decor, 拍下照片供图与你分享. 同时也向那间店订了一个Shanghai款小高桌 (都是 made in Indonesia) 打算供奉佛菩萨, 约一个星期后小高桌才会到. 等小桌来后再视高度把这两个物件摆设在一齐吧！嗯...我有些不习惯Steve很快就决定买下这两件我认为很贵的物件..... 之后我们去一间 RedLobster 的西餐馆晚餐, 很靠近家而己, 但 Steve 却从没去过因为他从不吃海鲜, 而我却很爱吃海鲜, 所以我们是第一次光颅, 还好也有牛、鸡扒, 我吃龙虾、长脚crab、虾, 他吃鸡扒、薯条. 正餐前有提供多粒小面包, 这间是有免费 refill, 而且不同一般的面包, 他很喜欢, 吃了很多粒. 到吃完正餐后, 他才说肚子很涨, 我第一次看到他吃这么多的食物. 而我的正餐却吃不完, 打包时也把所剩的三粒小面包装进去了.... 虽然这餐很贵不过还算值得一点.. 哈哈！
Yesterday, we went to an import furniture shop. We were attracted to a wall decoration called Buddha enlightenment. At the same time, we also ordered a little tall dresser (those are made in

27/5星期天早上参加了佛光山temple的诵经会及素餐，这里的佛友很热情.
Steve很喜欢cooking，厨房用具很齐全，前几天做了三条面包，长形很硬的那种，所以这几天早餐都是面包。 昨天做了很正宗的 vanilla (from vanilla beans) ice cream，噢....非常非常的好吃，真的很想请你吃他做的ice cream！不过代价是清理屋子，哈哈.... 是的，昨天(28/5)是假日，我们没有去那里，就是在家做清理，啊...怎么我们整天只做好一间睡房... 我边做边说我很不喜欢做....
We attended the service and had lunch at Fo Guang Shan temple on 27/5 Sunday morning. The Buddhist friends are very passionate.
Steve loves cooking very much, so the kitchen is full of cooking equipment. Three days ago, he made 3 loaves of long and hard type of bread. So, my breakfast is bread these days. Yesterday, he made original vanilla flavor (from the vanilla beans) ice cream. Oh….very very nice taste, think to share with you his home made ice cream! But you need to do cleaning at our house, haha….that’s right, we didn’t go out but did house cleaning yesterday, as 28/5 was a holiday. Ah…wonder we only did our bedroom in one whole day… I talked to myself during cleaning: I hate cleaning …

I am so happy receiving all of your emails, even just a few sentences.
Yesterday, Steve and I went to the botanical garden for a few hours. It is so large and very beautiful, we couldn’t even finish the whole garden. So, walking in

真的很谢谢你们的回音及分享, 感觉很温暖！
Cai yun, 嘻嘻....可能你说得对, 我哭是在向老公撒娇吧...当时我是在他要去上班前我在他怀里哭的，他用了一些时间很呵护我, 至到我说ＯＫ他才走.... 哈哈，其实他说我未来之前已经清理收拾了很多, 睡房和厨房都很整洁.
Thanks for your feedback and sharing, I feel very warm!
CaiYun, haha….maybe you are right, the reason I cried is needed Steve’s attention… I cried when he hugged me to say good bye before go to work. He stayed and took time to take care of me until I said ok. Haha… he told me he already did cleaning many times before I came. In fact, our bedroom and kitchen are still quite neat.

我们從PG到香港轉机去LA, 抵達LA是大馬時間凌晨三點左右, 我睡眼惺忪的下机后排了很長的龍進關口, 還好一切順利也沒打開我们的行李檢查.又從LA再轉机去St. Louis, 26小時后總算到家了.
我這几天都是在家因Steve去工作, 回來時就帶我去shopping. 前天哭了一陣, 因看到屋子很大有些亂, 我是很不喜歡收拾清理的懶人但又不能看東西很骯亂, 也許還有其它的情緒，如要面對新環境等一起出來, 所以就發洩了. 這里的環境很靜, 現在是春天很涼爽, 白天會有鳥,松鼠,免子來屋外的草地找東西吃. 我自己也要煮午餐, 早餐晚餐就隨便吃一些現成的東西. 啊...我現在的生活.....
We flew from Penang to Hong Kong, then transferred onto a flight to LA,
These past few days, I am staying at home while Steve is at work. We went to do shopping after he got back from work. Two days ago, I was crying because I am seeing this big messy house, and I am lazy and hate to do cleaning. But I can't stand to see it messy. Perhaps I had many emotions come out, like needing to adjust to the new environment and etc. So, they were released. The environment here is very quiet, and the spring weather is just nice at the moment. At day time, I can see birds, squirrels, rabbits finding their food in the back yard. I needed to cook lunches for myself. But mostly I will just get some available food for breakfasts or dinners. Ah… my current life ……

Steve and I arrived home safely around 9pm on 20/5 (
Hopefully all of the adjustments to my new life here will go smooth and easily.
Thanks again for your lovely gift and farewell meal. Steve and I wish you & your families happiness and all the best.
Bye bye.
