On Oct 23rd, Thursday around 8am, we lost our dearest youngest female cat, MONA. She is this cutest little thing. We got her as our third cat from a friend whose cats gave birth to 6kittens last year.
In the beginning, I didn't really want to have a third, because when we got the 2nd, Snowball, our eldest Muffin was so upset and depressed and got really fataly sick, he refused to eat and drink for a whole month. We had to spend day and night with Muffin and injected salted water to his body every ten minute to keep him alive.
So I wasn't very warmed up to Mona the first several weeks. But she was just so friendly around me and had to stay right next me every second of her awake moment. One day she started massaging my belly. That was IT! From that moment on, I started loving her the same amount, even more because she is the only girl in the house but me.
She really likes hanging on the balcony, stretching all out and let me rub her. She likes being pamperd by me and her older brothers. She can never stay by herself.
She loves Snowball, but Snowball always locked her in and beat her up, and every time when I looked at them, Snowball would look around pretending he wasn't doing anything, Mona would look so innocent and I had to take her out of Snowball's paws.
It took me quite a few days to stop crying just the thought of Mona. I wrapped her with my towels and sent her for cremation. I believe she is always around us and I want her around.
Dear Mona, mom is thinking of you everyday and wish you happy in the place you are in now. I will always cherish all the moments between us and keep you in my heart forever....
I LOVE YOU MONA!

10 Things I Love About You ---V
My fault that the list hasn't been finished before the anniversary. Last week was just hectic, meetings after meetings. so today I will list all the rest things I Love about you:-p in my next post.
Firstly, I want to say " Amazing Anniversary!" It was so unique and really once a life chance to spend in a Monastery!
We left early Saturday morning and met up with our tour mates; 4 couples, two families also brought their young kids and two singles as well. It took us a very breezy two and a half hours to get to such a peaceful and tranquil monastery.
Right away we were invited to have our very first meal there. Since all monks already got lunch at 10:30, we were all by ourselves. The food was just beyong words , even though all veggies, they managed to make them so tasty.
Well since too many things happened during the weekend, I am just highlighting some here. We played basketball with the monks, 6 vs 6 in half a court in front of a pagoda! Imagine how crowded that was. Surreal!
We went to sleep by 8pm and all got up at 4am Sunday. Some went to hit the bell for the Monastery first and then gathered for chanting and walking and praying for an hour. Still dark outside.......breakfast with all monks at 5:30, yummy...........

10 Things I Love About You ---IV
4 more days to our Anniversary! Remind me of last year:
you arranged a very romantic dinner at TMSK ( quite a fancy restaurant with traditional Chinese musical instruments performance) , in order to get to restaurant on time, you wore the suit to office in the morning, though you normally just wore tank top and flip flop there. You just told me to get dressed up nicely. I was really surprised by the time you got home in suit and took me all the way to that restaurant. The food and wine was amazingly good, let along the modern performance with historical instruments. Very memorable and romantic! Thanks!
I am sure this anniversary will be as memorable and special as well.
Well No 7 thing I love about you: Patience
I thought I was a patient person till I met you. Remember when Muffin caught the fatal disease. He refused to eat and drink anything for a whole Month! Our friend/vet gave up after the first two weeks with all kinds of treatment and gave Muffin loads toys to play for his last days. But you still patiently injecting rice water for him again and again in case he got dehydrated. Muffin had to receive IV everyday at 5am and many rounds a day till 2 or 3am. You would take the morning and late night shifts by holding his little paw and just sat with him going through these motionless time. Miracle was Muffin survived!!! even though he would never grow bigger. Our vet was so moved and shocked by this and even wrote a book about how Muffin survived!
Remember one weekend I brought home my clients' 6 year old girl for sleep over. To put her to sleep, you were telling her ( and me) bedtime stories, I can't forget the little girl got so excited by the way you were telling the story that she asked zillions of questions, I fell asleep by the 10th question, ........zzzzzzzzzzzZZZZ
PS I LOVE YOU

10 Things I Love About You ---III
Well haven't really thanked honey for setting up this marriage blog. it just hit me that we as a married couple shares a blog to tell each other and others about our daily (love) stories. How sweet is that!
Our Anniversary is this coming Sat, Oct 18th. To be honest, in the beginning we were quite unclear what to do and where to go, since recently we are in our saving mode and just spent a fortune on a very luxurious trip to beach.... then, my friend who I worked some projects for her company asked me to take a travelling tour for her. (I used to travel massively in the backpacking style, so I have been asked frequently by travelling agencies to take their tours or create new routes for them.)
Anyway, this one is super cool. Because we are going to stay in a Monastery for two days! We are going to get up early ( at 5am) to chant and have noble silence at night and eat all veggies....... the killing part is Morgan and I can't stay in the same room. He and other boys are going to stay with the monks.....I know honey you are very sad now....since we have never been apart.
Just the thought of some peace and tranquility from the crazily fast pace working zone here, we can't help smiling.... a bit hiking as well. We both know it is going to be a very different and unique Anniversary.
Now back to the count down list: No 8
the ability to admit not knowing and learn hard
It is not easy for a man to admit not very good at something or simply not knowing about it. You do it very well. I know it is very hard to deal with every single game lost, ( I am the game queen, haha) such as 24, chess, tittac, scrabble, guitar hero,so on and so forth.:-p but you will never give up and say" nah this game is dumb". You are not. You will keep asking me to play with you again and again untill the gap is shrinking:-p
Also about finance. I really admire you courage nowadays to read and watch finacing news everyday and discuss with me or others. You show me how much you can absorb and how fast learner you are! I am very proud of you!
You are never ashamed to admit " yeah, this is not my strengh" and then you will work hard on that area to improve your knowledge and skills. Way to go, Honey.
