| Hi dear friends,
I am sure you all had wonderful New Year holidays and it is time to get back to the peaceful, normal, or busy track of life. So I will resume my junk story writing to start my bright 1999. You are not alone to feel surprised by the title “Miata 4″. I had as well thought Miata series would end at the episode my husband signed the check and drove one back. What happens here has proven that I am too naive and life is far more complicated. Here is a simple “True or False" question: Men will be satisfied with a REAL convertible.—————False————- Let me tell you the truth: They love a Fake one too. Having not been able to drive with top down during the cold and wet December, shao po complained that those Australians are too showy to post messages of pleasant top down experience on Miata news group. I agree how cruel they would do this to those convertible drivers who live in another hemisphere. It is totally inconsiderate. Not only that, the bad weather gave no chance for shao po to try those “skin care" products he ordered for Miata, including deep cleanser (Hi-Tech Wash), exfoliating cream (Car Glaze), wrinkle remover (Swirl remover), and, of course, revitalization moisturizer (Hi-Tech Wax). However, shao po still has his own way to extend his love for Miata in winter. He came home one day and told me he ordered a Miata model from internet. Three days later, the package arrived, a DIY kind, which needs a lot of work to assemble and paint. On the box, it clearly indicates “Recommended for children age 10 and up", so it should be right for shao po. He used to construct a lot of car or jet fighter replicas when he was a kid, so I have no doubt that he is very good at it. Besides, as many of you know, shao po is a perfect example of perfectionist. This episode is going to tell you how a perfectionist build a 15cm long tiny car model so that your husbands or you ( hey, those husbands, I know you are reading) can avoid the same mistakes.
This is the model building progress shao po had made in the past month. The separate painted parts are so far lying all over the living room. I wish it will be successfully constructed by this century. Fortunately, we don’t need to pass a list of “True or False" questions in order to get married (not mentioning “multiple choices"). Sometimes I think it must be tough for a perfectionist to marry and live with a silly woman (tomorrow will be exactly four painful years). Following forgetting shao po’s dear mobile phone in a restaurant weeks ago, peng pneg again surprised his husband by losing our first decent camera, bought right after our wedding, in the end of our New Year trip to southwest Utah along with rolls of slides she took during this great trip. Shao po is completely calm this time and says he had the feeling something would happen (unfortunately, he is right). This perfectionist, with a gentle forgiving nature, neither blames nor “disassembles" his wife. Well, I still give a little hope that the rental car company will suddenly call me and tell me they found the camera and those undeveloped films, which will be the best anniversary gift for shao po and me. Lets pray. p.s.: the mobile phone had been replaced, using the same no. peng peng |
