The Overdue Leisure time 難得悠閒

Peaceful time,
安靜的時間，

Sufficient rest,
充足的休息，

Were what I had always been deprived of when I was in Hong Kong,

係我喺香港時一直都無嘅嘢⋯

Especially when I was working...

尤其係番工時，

I woke up daily at 6:30am,

由六點半起身，

And worked until after 8pm,

八點幾收工，

Then headed home or to my parents' home

番屋企或者阿爸阿媽屋企，

Day after day, months after months... energy and hope were drained from my body and soul...

每一日都好累好累⋯

Not to mention having to meet with the debate team members starting from 10sth pm until after midnight...

重未計同辯論隊係google doc十點幾至深夜開會。

The only gratifying moments were,

所以唯一的休息同開心時間，

When I could play with Nicole and Nathan,

就係同小肥晴同大舊一齊玩，

Absorbing the positive energy from their innocent smiles,

兩個小朋友純真的笑容，

Their incomprehensible baby talks,

一舊一舊唔知講乜嘅回答，

And all of a sudden, amazed by the new skills or words that they learnt!

同突然間學識的新技能同詞，

So soul-soothing,

好窩心，

I miss you.

好掛念。

Our APe works from 8am to 4pm daily.

呢幾日芬蘭猴由八至四番工，

While he was working, I did housework and biked around Helsinki.

我就做家務同踩車去探索赫爾新基。

Apart from what I have updated you here or on facebook,

除咗之前更新咗嘅嘢外，

We also did home sauna,

呢幾日我哋重係屋企做桑拿，

Biked to Vanhakaupunki,

我踩車兜咗去舊城，

Went to 4 different supermarkets (K-market, S-market, Lidl and one other enormous market) to have a look at if they have what I need and of course, compare product price,

去咗四個超市睇下，比下，

I also started reading again,

開始睇書，

And sort out rubbish,

自己去分類棄垃圾，

Cook something I have never made before for APe :)

同埋煮一D我重未煮過嘅嘢食！

Today, we will have lunch with Tuomas somewhere around Mikonkatu,

今日我哋會同Tuomas去佢公司附近食午餐，

After APe is home, we will drive to Aanekoski to spend the weekend with APe's daddy,

下奏就駕車去Aanekoski探芬蘭猴爸!

As APe missed his annual inspection day because he was in Hong Kong,

芬蘭猴㗎車因為太耐無揸，

And that his car has been idled for too long in the garage,

而又因喺香港未趕及年檢，

We haven't been able to use it for the whole week.

所以我哋呢個星期完全無車用！

Hopefully, it will pass the inspection and we can pick up the car today!

希望今日可以成功攞車！

Otherwise, we can only drive to his dad earliest tomorrow!

如果唔喺聽日先可以去探芬蘭猴爸！

Oh yes, we have some good news.

係喎，有個好消息，

From today onwards,

芬蘭猴以後一星期只要番公司工作四日，

APe can homeoffice on Fridays!

星期五可以喺屋企工作！

I am so jealous!

真葡萄！

Haha!

哈哈！

Oh yes, something fun I wana share with you :)

啊，呢幾日有幾個小插曲，

First,

一：

Two days ago, I went to play badminton and workout at APe's office,

前日我去芬蘭猴公司打波同做Gym，

I even started learning volleyball!

學打排球！

And I found that I am quite good at it!

原來我都幾有天分！

However, my hands and arms are both bruised!

但我同手就瘀咗！

Second,
二：

When we were on the way home one day,

番屋企路上，

We bumped into his ex-boss!

遇到芬蘭猴舊上司！

She invited us to her summer house in the city!

佢邀請我哋去佢喺市入的summer house 開P！

Third,

三：

We started our gardening project yesterday!

我哋開始種嘢！

It begins with planting avocados!

先嚟牛油果！

Fourth,
四：

I don't remember which day,

又有一日，

Anyway, one day, I went downstairs to throw away the garbage.

我去地下垃圾房棄垃圾，

Accidentally, I opened somebody's garage for bikes!

開錯咗隔離屋單車房！

Finally, I found the rubbish collection point,

到搵到垃圾房，

As there are way too many humongous rubbish bins in way too many colours,

因為有太多唔同顏色的大桶，

And I have no idea what they are for because everything is described in Finnish!

又唔識睇芬蘭文，

I hesitated for a long time,
所以遲疑咗好耐。

When I suddenly remembered that yellow for aluminum, blue for paper and brown for plastic bottles,
當我醒起黃鋁罐，藍廢紙，啡膠樽時，

Haha!

哈哈！

The light was out!

突然一遍漆黑，

My heart jumped!

嚇一嚇！

Yet, when I moved a little,

我一「旭」，

The light was back!

要光有光！

Yay!!! hahahahaha!

哈哈哈哈！
