Weekend....

So we are going somewhere for this weekend.... Juuhu.....!!

Going right straight after work on Friday to catch up the dinner booking at the restaurant. We are going to eat "Rehrücken" ....(means deer back), the whole back of the deer is what I have been informed.

Been told about this place for times "Cama in the Graubünden part of CH, in the italian part of the country!", now we are really going!

Absolutely Ma-jiong

10 Nov. 2007

After a beautiful "Papi-Seghizzi Cheese fondue" dinner ( plus Sahimi& sake as an appetizer), we rushed home for receiving our guest/friends, of curse, for some quick cleaning/tidy up of the house too!!

***
As the dining table was in the middle of the chaos by my 'recycling work" - I was trying to dissolve my bridal bouquet which was half dried/rotten and abandoned on the balcony since the day after my wedding!

(Plants and home-decos are always lovely, but expensive to buy in this country, therefore I thought I may took down the sliver wires, pearls & ribbons for "future use", if I may, maybe can use it in the future! )

So. I was with my work and guys were surrounding in front of our flat screen. 3 single guys on the stools and the married guy on the big couch. It looks a bit funny from my sight. They could speak in German or discuss whatever men's topics…I didn't mind if were totally "not presence", or been left out!! I let the boys enjoy their night and I do what a house wife had to do. So I went down to do the laundry!!

Just not long after I came back from downstairs, noise busted out soon as I opened the living room door! I smiled and seen 4 guys were already by the table and shuffling Majiang tiles!!


***
I was surprised again by Gianni, which he seem to explain the game very well in his language. Yet before the first performance round ended, all the guys were soon in the position for the battle.

I have never been an "advance gamer", not to mention I was never really good in any games. I played few times of Ma Jiang, but not well tought enough to learn how to deal yet. Gianni is far advance in minding games; after all, was him who insisted to bring the set (heavy like hell) back from Taiwan!

So this is our 1st Ma Jiang match in Switzerland!!
Pretty cool, I have to say!!

Gianni still keeps this piece paper which ripped off from the calendar on the wall of Grandpa's house, on it written the Chinese-character-suit tiles 1 to 9 thousands in number-forms from last Chinese New Year.

Sfr2 for each lose.

Gianni was on his own. And, I thought I'd help those new players by putting the suits in the correct orders! I walked at the back of Gregi, Stefan and Tommy and noticing after rounds, they were all pretty into the battles.

Although we try to avoid late nights as we learned from previous "Poker Night" , still, fevers were there and only called to stop around 3am.

Only a short night before Gianni had to go to training t by 11am and I planed to join.

The end result was: Gianni won ten bucks, and Thomas the same donated the most!

Is definitely not the beginners luck anymore to Gianni, been told:

1. Beginner wins
2. Pregnant wins
3 New wedded winds
4. 3 females against 1 male, the male looses
5. or current happiness around in household and personal issues wins

Majion-ing? Absolutely!!!!

Sat. 10th Nov.

Sat. 10th Nov.

It’s winter!
Has it been winter since 2 month ago, and now is really into “Winter”？！

1st snow rained on the way home last evening!
The fireplace has been the new favorite element in our living room since last week added warmth and sparkles to the ambiance.

※※
Days always start around 4pm during the weekend-days for us.
Seems like no way to get out the house earlier!?
And, are too often fill in with piles of errands and house chores, certainly no pleasure!!


Today, the miserable raining type weather!
Pretty windy as I can see from the surface of the lake.

Finished our weekly routine of Sat. – Shopping in the super markets COOP/MIGROS before 4PM. I am now sitting in the car at this parking lot, located just over the Sailing Club Meggen. Protected from the cold and wet. Through out the windshield, watching the men working just right in front on the sail boats, to put one boat to “sleep” over the winter, and the other to be ready to transport for the sailing events down in Rome! Working in the rains in almost close to 0℃ wet day……ahhrr….. Poor fellows, and one of them is my husband!
※ ※※
※
Nope! I am not going to Rome, neither is Gianni. I wish I could have! Markus had spoke about it last night during the dinner! Would be nice to see Rome one day!! ALL ROAD GOES TO ROMA!!

So, it’s a Saturday! Tonight we are over at Mami’s place for Cheese Fondue!
Well, in this weather……why not!! I am happy for not to have to cook sometimes!!!

In a nice weather day, I would have gone for a walk around the neighborhood, to the lake or to Meggenhorn in a little spare time before dinner!
In such kind of cold wet day, I could just forget about it!!
Anyhow, I came along with Gianni to the “boat thing”! -- Just because sitting home and not doing house work could actually make myself feeling pretty guilty!! J

Housework, how come they are endless??? You clean the floor, the next day is already dirty again, not even to say I/we haven’t cleaned it this week!
And every weekend, there is laundry to do!!

It’s 5PM now, dusky out!! The Church bell right next is banning the 15 minutes bugle of the end of the white day, saying it’s time for going home! In the old days would be for the farmers to put off chores and rest for the rest of the weekend! It has been centuries after centuries in Switzerland the bell clinking and every 500m a church!!
Afterawhile… You don’t really hear them at all….!

So~ my updates:
Married one month 13 days!! “24 hours a day “-“ working hours”, almost not much left for a married life!! Are we really newly wedded? I got carried away from the heavy work flow in my office then to realize everything else is actually new in life!
Omit the part of as OL, Being a “wife” still taste with sweetness though! A warm and sweet home of ours here, a nice husband, a decent job- although it drives me working crazy each day! Overall, I feel blessed and grateful.

I am well! And anyhow time flies, no time for feeling bad about here any way!! J


So. All’s good at work. I had got my work permit from 1st of November, although still waiting for my B-Permit with English name added and family name amendment!

Let me tell you….
all this bureaucratic papers and bill payments plus working hours, let see how long after would I eventually receive my 100 corrected B-Permit?
Will see!!

Time to go home now!!!
